I've been meaning to try Factorio for years. But I'm worried that as soon as I do, I'm never going to get round to playing all the other games in my backlog...

Skyrim. I'll play it one day I swear.

Terraria, waiting to play it with friends when i make some

Oh, so you missed the time when Epic gave GTA V away for free? Bummer.

Though with all the launcher-hassle I actually prefer the pirated version.

Still haven’t played Baldur’s Gate 3

I have several unfinished RPGs and really don’t want this one to get added to the list.

Half-Life 3.

I'm still waiting, Gabe. No pressure. You do your thing.

I'm gonna play Super Mario Sunshine one of these days, I swear.

CupHead is coming up on ten years old and I don't think it has ever dipped below $10 on Steam.

My answer is probably Cyberpunk2077, I bought it on accident since it was in my cart on the day Silksong released. Luckily it was on sale at that time. Tried playing it on my ps4 pro and it was struggling so I put it aside and plan on playing it whenever I get a new console. So I started silksong instead which is ironically the first new game I bought in over 5 years.

I waited years for the FF7 Remake and then even more years for the FF7 Remake to come to PC and then even more years for the sequel to the FF7 Remake to come to PC and now I'm waiting for the three-quel to release, at which point I will begin waiting for it to come to PC.

I'm still waiting for the right sale price to buy Cyberpunk 2077

Still waiting for Microsoft Flightsimulator 2020 to fall to a price that's worth it for the amount of time I would be playing with it.

And I'm still salty for the time they accidentally discounted it by 85 % and removed it from my shopping cart just as I was about to pay.

I waited a LONG time to pick up Gran Turismo 7, and boy do I feel like that was a waste. I had fond memories of playing a previous GT title on ps3 with my dad before he passed away, but GT7 is just awful. I HATE how the chat bubble heads "explain" the gameplay. I HATE pretty much every menu outside of the standard gameplay pause menu. I HATE new car showroom/marketplace/museum whatever the fuck it is.

Idk if I missed more than a few entries in the series but this shit is the most infantile, disrespectful talk down I've ever recieved from a video game.

I'm not holding out on any game at the moment. I nuked my wishlist and told myself I'm not even going to look at the Steam store page until I can get some of my backlog down.

If I had to choose a game that I'm holding out on currently, it's probably HD2 for a combo of the above and price

Looking at my Steam wishlist, Dead Cells is the game that's been on there the longest. It looks like a fun game, but it also being a roguelike always has me hesitant to pull the trigger on it.

The Mass Effect series, LA Noire, and Sonic Frontiers are all examples of games where I am waiting for DRM-free versions.

I guess KSA (successor of KSP). Still in dev.

Titanfall 3. Took a while but it was worth every single moment that the devs spent polishing it.

Spider-Man 2. I did initially buy it when it first released on PC, but the performance was so bad I literally couldn't even do anything. So I returned it.

Edit: I'm also waiting for a good sale on Sonic x Shadow Generations. I don't really care about the Sonic half of the game, I just wanna play as Shadow.

Final Fantasy vii, just bought it on gog. I think I first saw screenshots of it in a PC magazine almost 30 years ago.

Rimworld.
It's on my list of games to play and steam will recommend it at least once a day but I just haven't purchased it yet.

Paralives. I'm willing to wait forever though, house flipper 2 placates the build desire for now, but I'm still excited to see how paralives turns out. I guess I'm also being (less) patient for The Pets DLC for House Flipper 2. I really want that dlc lol

I also dont know the timeline, but I'm hoping Rust adds the Farm update to console this year, or maybe next year, but I want the pies, chickens and flowers

I'm still patiently waiting for a 3D VR voxel based falling sand engine type game. There are a couple of interesting projects working towards that goal and technology helps make the cubes smaller and smaller from minecraft to something more like cube world with more material interactions.

TES6

Elden Ring. After listening to my PS4 struggle with CyberPunk 2077, I decided that I would be better off waiting until I purchased better hardware for both.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. I could have got it for PS5 but I knew I would end up also buying it for PC, so I just waited the year or whatever.

Doing the same with Death Stranding 2.

More future patience... but Ys X Nordics.

Given the bullshit about releasing a better version of the game for full price just a year after the first release I'll be waiting a long time until it's on a decent sale price before I give them any money.
