NieR: Automata - I’m hoping for $20, but $25 would work; I think it’s about time for another price drop
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - I kind of like BotW, but not enough to jump on TotK; I want it eventually, so I’ll buy it once I can find it used for $40 or so; I can wait a couple years though
Mount & Blade: Bannerlord - looking for $20 or so; I’m thoroughly enjoying Warband so I’m in no rush
Elden Ring - I’m not super interested, but I’d pay $20 or so to give it a shot
I’m not against paying full price for games but I need to be really interested. I’m probably going to pay full price for Cities Skylines 2 in lieu of buying more DLC for the original. If Paradox makes EUV, I’d probably buy that near launch (I have all but the latest expansion for EUIV). Likewise if there’s a new Portal game.
I’m mostly a patient gamer because I don’t feel all that excited following the latest trends and prefer to play a less buggy game than join a community playing something new. The discounts are nice though.
As someone who followed the development of Bannerlord since the first blog post and who first played Warband in 2010, I can confirm that it is truly excellent and with a handful of mods is straight up better in every way but one: in Warband, the total conversion mods are fully mature entire alternate campaigns. I must’ve sunk 100 hours into Gekokujo (Warband mod that puts the campaign in warring-states era Japan) alone, let alone A Clash of Kings (the Game of Thrones total conversion).

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
