Hearing that Civ 7 is going to have Steam Deck support is tempting me.

    In February, kingdom come II is releasing. Excited off my fucking rocker, currently trying to 100% the first before 2 releases!

    If Monster Hunter Wilds plays nice on Steam Deck, I doubt I’ll be able to resist. Otherwise, it’s a small game, but Heroes of Hammerwatch 2 releases next week, and I am hyped. The first HoH is the GOAT roguelite, IMO, and the demo for HoH 2 was very promising.

    Less temptation and more gave in already. I got myself the ultimate edition of stalker 2. The first ones were some of my all time favourite games and I’m so glad the sequel got made I felt like they deserved my money. Have to say I’m very happy with my purchase and I look forward to the dlc in the future. The atmosphere is great and the gameplay is fun. I strongly recommend it.

      I’m not a patient gamer generally speaking but I put so much time into the OG trilogy (all pirated) as well as all the modded repacks over the years (countless hours spent in gamma) that I felt obligated to support them this time around. Since I am no longer a broke kid playing on a laptop that can barely handle the game it feels right to give them full price for a game finally.

      I put about 8 hours into stalker 2 before I shelved it. Not because I wasn’t having fun, but I want them to just put that final layer of polish on the game before I finish it. I had already modded it to basically work the same as previous games with some adjustments to make up for the lackluster Alife on launch, but there were still some minor things that I have heard they have been fixing that will probably make finishing my save in a few months more enjoyable so I am happy to wait a little.

    I have over 700 games waiting on Steam, over 300 on Heroic… I’m not buying any other game until I get that backlog down.

    If Civ 7 reviews well and works on Steam Deck, I’ll be tempted.

    I’ve been a patient gamer since buying used NES games as a little kid, but I’ll buy at launch every once in a way. I was a single adult with a full-time job when Mario Maker came out. I took a day off work just to play it nonstop. It was a childhood dream of mine to design and play my own levels and spent my teenage years making ROM hacks with Lunar Magic.

    I still think about how great that day was, staying home all day to play. Sometimes it’s nice to treat yourself.

    Not a game per se, but I’m probably going to get a Switch2 on launch day. I have a Switch Lite, but want to be able to play couch multiplayer with my kids, starting with Mario Kart and some dancing game to get in some activity.

      I generally call myself a patient gamer for most titles… but the monster hunter series is not one of them. Those games release in good shape, fully formed titles that don’t really need to wait on… I guess generally I’m patient when I feel the product doesn’t match the price, but in this case, I feel it absolutely does. If there is DLC, it’s either really silly cosmetic things, or a full fledged expansion on the content by at least 2x.

        I’ve been playing MH for almost two decades… it’s the one game I buy immediately when new games come out. I KNOW they’re going to be good and they have always been stellar.

        Pokémon used to be the only other series I bought on launch day, but that stopped after Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. ScarVio was a garbage and I’m very happy I didn’t waste money on that.

    I kinda wanted to try Shatterline. But it’s only on Epic so I can’t tell if anyone’s really playing it.
