Or do as I do.

  1. Buy game.

  2. Never play it.

I have a problem.

Or as I do:

  1. Watch videos of Cyberpunk
  2. Think of buying it
  3. Realize I still haven’t finished Mass Effect
  4. Never actually buy Cyberpunk.

Currently I’m thinking of Baldur’s gate 3, but you know… I’ll probably get around to it in a few years.

Buying any game after 3-5 years is the way to go. The bugs are fixed, patches are out, so mods are stable and most of the time you can find a sale where it costs 10-20€. And if you forget about it before that time, that means the game was not worth it

On top of that, there might be a bundle with the base game + a few DLCs + christmas discount or whatever.

This is high-seas option

I think the last game I bought on release was Fallout 4. I'll still enjoy a game just as much of it is two years old and only $20.

Fighting games would like to have a word

[-] INeedMana@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Why? What's up with fighting games?

[-] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago

The lifeblood of fighting games is the online community. If you wait too long, everyone online is either way better than you or has moved on to the next fighting game.

[-] INeedMana@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Oh. That sucks. "Previous" fighting games don't have people that stayed?

When I was finally playing Dark Souls 2, I was surprised that finding someone to play with was not hard. Fighting games scene might be different, though

[-] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

The people who stay have often been there for years and you can't really fight them because they're so good.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
