Hearing that Civ 7 is going to have Steam Deck support is tempting me.
so… I just started playing Red Dead Online this weekend. On Linux. It works… and it’s fun, I just bought a new horse and finished some missions with random people. Someone killed my horse once, with fire, that was a very sad moment — luckily, I had some insurance.
There isn’t anything on the horizon I am interested in right now. At least, nothing with a concrete release date. The only thing I can even think of right now is getting Adventure Mode in the Steam version of Dwarf Fortress. And that could come anywhere between tomorrow and a decade from now. 🤷🏻♂️
I am patiently waiting for Kingdom deliverance to get released and a couple of weeks or months to see what the reviews say about the state of the game. Then I will decide whether to buy it or not.
Another two games on my radar are RDR 1 and Indiana Jones, Pentiment and Slay the Princes but waiting for better discounts on those.
What do you mean by tempting? Like are you asking about brand new games that don’t qualify for “patient” or just games in general? I’m not what most would call a gamer (I’m just an old dude that plays games sometimes) so I don’t know that a “Civ 7” gives me much context as to what’s being asked.
Civ7 is the newest Civilization game that is coming out. Given that this c/patientgamers, I think its safe to assume OP is asking if there are any new games that you will not be patient to aquire.
For myself, I’m going to buy the new Elden Ring at release. I have not been let down by Fromsoft and feel each of the previous Souls and Soulslike games have been worth the full price.
I did the same for the new Zelda game, because Nintendo hasn’t let me down so far.
I’m patient for most games, because I hate playing update roulette.
Get the Ashes of Erebus mod for Civilization IV instead!
I’ll seriously consider EU V when it comes out, but it’s not even officially announced yet.
Avowed, Outer Worlds 2, and Fable when it finally releases.
… something Heaven’s Vault related is coming in 2025. I really really hope it’s a video game and not just more novel things. Really hoping something to do with Mazwai!
Nope.
Ive got plenty of backlog, and virtually no time. At the current rate, I’ll have plenty to play hanging out in hell.
The only 2 are final fantasy 7 rebirth and the new yakuza/like a dragon game.
If Monster Hunter Wilds plays nice on Steam Deck, I doubt I’ll be able to resist. Otherwise, it’s a small game, but Heroes of Hammerwatch 2 releases next week, and I am hyped. The first HoH is the GOAT roguelite, IMO, and the demo for HoH 2 was very promising.

The first beta had issues with crashing on Proton but it seems like they figured out the reason.
Also, there is a second beta upcoming so you can test it before release: store.steampowered.com/news/…/547849766230294535
I know it isn’t what you mentioned but it reminded me when I wad reading anyway. I am quite hyped for the new Heroes of Might and Magic.
I have over 700 games waiting on Steam, over 300 on Heroic… I’m not buying any other game until I get that backlog down.
Famous last words.
Not while it has denuvo.
I believe the linux version is sans Denuvo
In February, kingdom come II is releasing. Excited off my fucking rocker, currently trying to 100% the first before 2 releases!
Yep, I’m probably not going to wait very long before buying it. I got the first one not long after release and I’ve been looking forward to the sequel ever since! Some of the advanced reviewers are even saying it plays reasonably well on the Steam Deck!
By the way, the 100% is sometimes frustrating but a great feeling when you get there! It was the first (and only) game I ever took the time to do that with.
Not a game per se, but I’m probably going to get a Switch2 on launch day. I have a Switch Lite, but want to be able to play couch multiplayer with my kids, starting with Mario Kart and some dancing game to get in some activity.
Found a Monster Hunter Wilds key for cheap, already lost.
It‘s doubly funny cause the inevidable expansion will make any gear grind in the base game useless as per usual lol
I generally call myself a patient gamer for most titles… but the monster hunter series is not one of them. Those games release in good shape, fully formed titles that don’t really need to wait on… I guess generally I’m patient when I feel the product doesn’t match the price, but in this case, I feel it absolutely does. If there is DLC, it’s either really silly cosmetic things, or a full fledged expansion on the content by at least 2x.
I’ve been playing MH for almost two decades… it’s the one game I buy immediately when new games come out. I KNOW they’re going to be good and they have always been stellar.
Pokémon used to be the only other series I bought on launch day, but that stopped after Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. ScarVio was a garbage and I’m very happy I didn’t waste money on that.
I kinda wanted to try Shatterline. But it’s only on Epic so I can’t tell if anyone’s really playing it.
i felt scammed, by supporting them, when they were on “early acess” on steam
If Civ 7 reviews well and works on Steam Deck, I’ll be tempted.
I’ve been a patient gamer since buying used NES games as a little kid, but I’ll buy at launch every once in a way. I was a single adult with a full-time job when Mario Maker came out. I took a day off work just to play it nonstop. It was a childhood dream of mine to design and play my own levels and spent my teenage years making ROM hacks with Lunar Magic.
I still think about how great that day was, staying home all day to play. Sometimes it’s nice to treat yourself.
Civ 7 is steam deck verified and releases Feb 11.
Don’t ask me how I know that…
The other issue is that civ is never done until the dlc is out too.
Lost Judgment is tempting, but I would prefer if it didn’t have Denuvo.
Less temptation and more gave in already. I got myself the ultimate edition of stalker 2. The first ones were some of my all time favourite games and I’m so glad the sequel got made I felt like they deserved my money. Have to say I’m very happy with my purchase and I look forward to the dlc in the future. The atmosphere is great and the gameplay is fun. I strongly recommend it.
I’m still waiting until it gets more updates but I’m so impatient to play it 😄
I’m not a patient gamer generally speaking but I put so much time into the OG trilogy (all pirated) as well as all the modded repacks over the years (countless hours spent in gamma) that I felt obligated to support them this time around. Since I am no longer a broke kid playing on a laptop that can barely handle the game it feels right to give them full price for a game finally.
I put about 8 hours into stalker 2 before I shelved it. Not because I wasn’t having fun, but I want them to just put that final layer of polish on the game before I finish it. I had already modded it to basically work the same as previous games with some adjustments to make up for the lackluster Alife on launch, but there were still some minor things that I have heard they have been fixing that will probably make finishing my save in a few months more enjoyable so I am happy to wait a little.
Not really. I almost bought some during steam sale especially vtol vr addons but ran out of time and didn’t buy lol

Aloft looks potentially interesting but the alpha was a bit bare on content. I want to see how people feel about it in a few weeks.
For the patient gamers though, perhaps check out Astroneer or Dinkum? Maybe Stationeers or From the Depths if you’re into serious simulation.
