I’m still waiting for Elden Ring to go on sale for $20 but might end up settling for $30.
Elden Ring, Hogwarts Legacy, Dying Light, Cyberpunk 2077, Resident Evil remakes and Village.
All of these have a lot of hype but I’m not fully sold on their gameplay, convinced about their quality/performance, or just haven’t been able to justify buying more games while my backlog still has decent amount of bought games.
Also Steam Deck. I’m waiting for an OLED version or next version. There are so many games i just don’t even consider playing on TV but would love to play on a handheld device. Mostly 2d/isometric games.
I’m waiting for the Harry Potter to get down in price
I know there’s a lot of controversy about it, but I enjoyed the story of the beta of Diablo 4. My close friends have been into it and it would be nice to play together, videogame politics aside.
I don’t want to pay full price for it, however. I paid that much for Modern Warfare II, though personally I think more hours have been put into that than most games I could think of.
I always buy games only on sale. My rule of thumb is: if it’s around 20€ it’s a no-brainer. Anything above that I only buy for games that I really really want and that stay above 20€ even when on sale.
This is the way I do it too. I also factor in cost by hour. Like if I think I will put 50 hours into a game then I wouldn’t mind paying $50 cuz that’s only $1 per hour of enjoyment. Most games are 5-25 hrs though so that’s the price range I tend to stick with.
There’s also quality of enjoyment. Like if I take 4 hours to beat a game but it’s so good it changes my life or is unlike any game I’ve played before, then I don’t mind a higher cost per hour. For example, Outer Wilds.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon
I love the Yakuza series, but I think the combat is just good enough to pass rather than a strength. I generally prefer turn-based games.
The problem isn’t even the money. It’s Denuvo. I don’t want that on my PC.
I could get it on PS4/5 instead, but that’s so much more limiting than having it on Steam. Denuvo is expensive, and I hope Sega drops it in a couple years.
