This is how budgeting works. Wait for the “old” sale so it’s cheaper money wise. Wait for the first few patches to roll out so you don’t spend that other precious commodity, time, on anything other than actual gameplay.
Slap metroidvania platforming exploration with Slay The Spire card battles and give it a dwarven storyline and generations of men will be lost. Absolutely lost. I’d be fully rocked and stoned.
Damn, that’s quite the badge of honour! I had to check mine but because of the new Steam Family Sharing I tried out a bunch of new games that I never bought myself.
in my defence of new games, couple of the Early Access ones i’ve seen grow beautifully with meaningful quarterly updates and clear dev maps. i’m especially happy with Enshrouded and i feel like with a full release the current price will double as it’s already a massive world and the map is half filled
(similarly how i got satisfactory in early access in a cheap af bundle and now the game is like double the price of the bundle it was in)
Hell ya! I’m the same way with TF2. There just aren’t any newer games that I think come close at all to being as good as the original. I’ll gladly keep sinking ~400 hours a year into a game released in 2007 as long as I have the time and other people continue to play the game aswell

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.
My patient gaming badge has been ruined by Stalker 2 and Path of Exile 2 :(
It was Cities: Skylines II. I said I’d buy it once they fix the issues, and that point was a couple months before 1 year after launch for me.
That said, mine says 3% of my games were “new,” but I played 50 games. The math doesn’t math…
I’m only at 3%, which was one new game only, Stalker 2.
I think the only other game I got at release in a long while was Cyberpunk 2077. I usually wait until the sales.
Stalker 2 and Cyberpunk on release are for the “patient(ly waiting for patches) gamer”…
Is me!

Congrats
Same!! I was like, yesss!!
That’s actually the retro gamer badge of honor
Yup, this is actually pretty amazing
That 15% number is reassuring. Huge majority of Steam users are patient gamers!
It could be that they bought a game from launch last year, but it’s a captivating game and they kept playing it this year. Especially online games.
I played new games on the Switch, but that was about it.
I got Mario RPG and Mario Wonder last Christmas. What can I say? Haha
I was surprised to have 9% on new games.
Balatro skewed my numbers
I thought my 11% was competitive until I realized that after 15 years of hoarding most games I would buy I already own. Congrats on your victory.
In the past three years, the only time I hadn’t got that badge was the year vampire survivors came out.
But no fair. It was a pretty retro game and only c9st like three bucks.
If dwarf fortress was recognized as a classic game I’d be right there too
I have the “Dwarf” category as one of my top genres. I’m so happy it’s now a tag for games.
I just realized this identifies what you’d consider the peak of gaming, a metroidvania dwarven deckbuilding action roguelike
I know, right‽ I don’t think a metroidvania would cross well with a deck builder, but maybe it would work with some creativity.
Slap metroidvania platforming exploration with Slay The Spire card battles and give it a dwarven storyline and generations of men will be lost. Absolutely lost. I’d be fully rocked and stoned.
Rock and stone over here too.
DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?! oT
I’d call it a classic

Only game I’ve played this year. Hundreds of hours though (I have a few friends who I play with usually weekly)

I’m confused why the number says 0%, but there’s clearly a small bit of the circle graph that indicates new release playtime.
It’s a design choice to display empty categories.
No, it’s just a design choice to display empty categories.
So passionate about it you said it twice!
Confused by the Lemmy notification that should have disappeared when I replied.
