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.

Armored Core 6, Jedi Survivor, Starfield. Until some sale I think. I’ve already bought Elden Ring, Diablo 4, and Baldurs Gate 3 this year, and I might get another before the year ends. Gotta slow it down lol
Edit: Hogwart’s Legacy, forgot about that one.
I splurged on Baldur's Gate and have enjoyed every minute I've put in so far. I'll have to get back to Tears of the Kingdom at some point too.
But I'll be fully holding off on Armored Core, Starfield and the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection for a while.
Waiting for an eventual Elden Ring + all DLCs sale, whenever that (may) happen
I've been waiting for tears of the kingdom. I know the game won't go on sale by a lot, so I'll just wait for a good deal at my local swap meet.
BG3 like most people and I'll hold of on Starfield for a few months to see how it held up against the hype.
Does Starfield count? I know it's not out yet but I have no plans to get it until/unless it starts getting near universal praise for quality and stability.
That's my usual approach for Bethesda games. After about six months, the community will have made some much-needed quality of life mods, and Bethesda will peobably have fixed any major performance issues or game-breaking, savefile-bricking bugs.
And this is supposed to be a huge game, so there will be a few serious issues as a matter of course.
Dark and Darker, it's out on Chaff games but with their legal troubles I'm not sure I wanna give them my money and risk the game getting taken down again.
Not one that’s already out, but I am anticipating the cyberpunk expansion and starfield. Especially the latter will be hard to be patient on if it’s anything close to what is promised so far.
Pathfinder WOTR - they still have like 2 DLCs planned to release
Honestly in the indie area, it's not recent, but Blade Kitten. Spotted that on Steam and remembered having fun with it on my Xbox 360 long ago. Real cheap at 3$.
But I need to finish more indie games First! So it will be a reward once I finish Protodroid Delta. Which would've been a lot easier if it had cloud support so I could play it on my Steam Deck without restarting the game, but nooo
I bought and downloaded BG3, but I'm waiting to play it until I have the mental energy to really dig into it.
I'm a big Larian fan and D&D enjoyer, so I made an exception for BG3 since I knew I'd be sinking hundreds of hours easily into that game :P
I just picked up Moonlighter for like 3 bucks so that's my next adventure.
Cyberpunk 2077 comes to mind with the Phantom Liberty DLC being around the corner. Also waiting out on Starfield to see how it goes, Fallout 3 and New Vegas have a special place in my heart but Bethesda has had a lot of misses for me since then.
I am still waiting for Cyberpunk 2077 to go better than half price.
Stray as well, it seems too expensive for a short game.
So many great games I'm going to be waiting on until they go on sale:
