    Buying games on release is for suckers and rubes. Stop being suckers and rubes.

    I’ve been playing mostly retro and haven’t been happier. Sounds like a sucker problem.

      I almost never buy games on release anymore. Only for games I really want to support, like Final Fantasy 16 or Baldurs gate 3. Other than that, I always wait for sales. Save more money, games are “finished” and patched.

        I’m loving Baldur’s Gate, Final Fantasy I was enjoying the story a lot. But the gameplay for 16 has been the most boring of all the Final Fantasy games I’ve played. Cinematically phenomenal yes, but actual combat has felt like a slog. When I fight enemies it’s the exact same thing over and over, I’ll already know who to attack first how many staggers and pulls I can perform on each enemy. It’s made it hard to go back to the game.

        I’m thinking I might just watch a YouTuber go through the game without the combats, mostly cause I was really enjoying the story. I’m still in Act 1 in Baldur’s Gate 3, but loving everything so far. Also planning on getting some mods for BG3, saw some awesome mods already out and looking forward to playing my favorite class, Artificer.
