Other than a slew of Nintendo titles that maybe hopefully will come down in price (the patient gamers’ bane), I have my eye on the next time Divinity: Original Sin 2 goes on sale. A friend who never plays anything other than WoW loved playing Larian’s newest with me and I’m trying to get her to pick this up. Pretty sure she’d like it.
I was also watching Star Trek: Infinite’s progress. I was quite interested in that one at launch but firmly decided to be patient. Naturally, it was discontinued last week. Oof.
Are there any games you’re currently price watching? Or hoping for bug fixes/more content?
BG3 honestly. I‘m not willing to pay more than 40 bucks for a digital copy of a game no matter how good - especially considering the amount of games that I have piled up waiting to be played.
Oh, and Persona 3.
I’m still waiting for Cyberpunk to be cheap enough for me lol, I don’t get enough money to buy a game >$20
Bunch of games on my Steam wishlist I’m mildly interested in but not willing to pay more than about $10 for, since they’d just wind up sitting in my backlog until I have time to play them. Waiting for a steep sale.
Some of the highlights:
- Cassette Beasts
- Sonic Frontiers
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Red Dead Redemption 2
- Dark Souls III
Edit: Didn’t see the “year ago or older” caveat in the title.
some of these are more than worth purchasing even at full price

I think most didn’t 😅 Was trying to keep it fully on-topic, but I guess it’s still mostly on-topic.
With Fez I feel I may have forever missed the window when I could have picked it up. It used to go on sale for $1.99 with an all time low of $0.99. Now it never gets under $4.99.
In a vacuum I’d probably just pick it up for 4.99 but knowing the pricing history I just can’t do it.
Ugh I hate to admit it, but I haven’t got Disgaea 6 Complete and will eventually, probably. I enjoyed 5, I heard 6 is worse, but they make lovely Deck games.
That said, you have to first wait for a complete version (f all that dlc noise) and then the discount. For crying out loud there’s already a 7.
There’s probably a few others but that’s the first that comes to mind.
Ah, a NISA series. Not quite as slow a publisher as Nintendo for pricing but still difficult for patient gaming.
I remember when they raised the price of Ys VIII well after release.
Ah… I remember that too. RIP us.
Elden Ring. Waiting for a game + DLC bundle because I refuse to buy DLCs on their own.
I’m waiting for persona 3 remake and p5 tactics to go down because those games always seem to eventually be on sale for around $20 after ~12-24mo and I’m behind enough on games it is worth saving the $40+
Highfleet
It’s been on sale a few times but not more than maybe 30% so I’ll keep waiting.

Also I’m waiting impatiently for EA WRC to come to gamepass!
Edit: Realized you said one year or longer. I was focused on the “waiting for updates” part.
Definitely waiting for Persona 3 Reload to both come down in price significantly and get the mostly confirmed epilogue content. But I’ll be very patient with this one. P5 Royal took me years to finish and I’ve already played through the original P3 back in the day. No rush at all from me.
Street fighter 6. I hate this part in fighting games where the meta completely changes when a new character has been added or when balance patches have been released, so I’m waiting for the season passes to end and the meta to stabilize.
