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.

Are you holding off on any game in particular right now? (lemmy.world)

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?

Are you saying it is fine if it is buggy or that it won't be worse than other games? Because if starfield that seem to be a lot bigger than cyberpunk has as many bugs as cyberpunk did at release then I won't be playing starfield for a while.

But at least they patch their games for many years, skyrim even got new editions and special edition got their last bug patch last year. So I am not worried that it will be a buggy mess forever just that I have to wait a bit for it to be good enough to not be immersion breaking. Last thing I want is being frustrated because of bugs.

No, I'm going to say they're a lot less buggy than people say, and not comparably buggy to most other games I've enjoyed in my life. Of course they should strive for improvement. That should go without saying.

100% agreed.
