Tears of the Kingdom - I thought BoTW was fun, but not as fun as older Zelda games; I’ll probably get it eventually, but I want to pay $40 or less
The Great War: Western Front - still seems pretty buggy, so I’ll wait a bit for patches
Victoria 3 - I love Paradox games, but they seem to need a few years to get good
Mount & Blade: Bannerlord - still getting patches and some new content, so I’ll keep waiting
Starfield - undoubtedly going to be buggy, so I’ll be waiting at least a few months, if not years, after launch to get it
I’m actually considering getting BG3 soon, once I get a few days to play a lot of it. It looks like a solid launch, so I’m happy to pay a bit more for something high quality. I hope they continue to work on it and maybe provide content heavy DLC at some point.
I bought Victoria 3 shortly after release and it’s frustrating how long it’s taking. It clearly has the potential to be a great game, but there’s still so much to be done.
On the other hand, a buddy and I got into Victoria 2 a few months ago and it’s been a blast. A bit clunky at first but it’s so easy to map paint with a friend in vanilla
Mount & Blade II is frustrating for me. I’m just not good enough at the combat to play on the front lines and I’m a shit commander trying to organize my troops in battle.
Basically i just play the exploration and management side and auto-resolve the combats :/
I never tried it with a controller it seems like that would make it harder to manage your army. As for the bigger fights I usually try to get my army positioned first with my archers on a hill or across a river or something from them and then put my infantry in front of the archers to block them. Then I lead my Calvary to go provoke the enemy to come at them. Usually that works pretty well or at least lets me put a big dent in their calvary which gives you a decent advantage when they don’t have one because you can get behind them and wreck their archers.
This strategy works most of the time with minimal casualties

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.

Your comment is why Im still waiting.
Doing the tournaments is a good way to practice combat.
Actually I’m half decent at one on one and the small melees. But once it’s a ‘real’ fight I get so sweaty palmed lol
Maybe I should try a console controller instead of mouse & kb?
