I’ve missed the launch week so I’m going to wait for sales on this one. Steam sales have conditioned me to avoid buying games that are not brand new at full price.

I have no ragrets paying full price for this one. And I don’t get why missing the launch week means you have to wait for sales.

Because the hype of buying brand new games is what makes me overlook all the great games I need to play in my massive library.

looks at steam library

Yup, this last month-ish has been wild for my backlog. Remnant 2, BG3 (Which I honestly expected to bounce off of), AC, Starfield next week.

Honestly I’m just skipping Armored Core until I can give it some actual time.
