I suppose Baldur’s Gate 3 could be an example for a lot of people. Any recent or just “recent” release you are waiting for to get at the moment?

    • 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
