The only game I've ever preordered is Animal Crossing New Horizons. I knew it wasn't gonna be horseshit on release lmao. I wait until games are on sale and have been out for a while. My friends keep harassing me to buy Baldurs Gate and I'm not doing that until it has all dlc released and is on sale lol

I'm the same way but I bought bg3 because of how not asshole they are. It's a great game and honestly worth the money. This is the first game I've bought at full price since games came on cartridges.

My thing is that I wanna wait until Larian comes out with all content for it. I don't wanna get the game and immediately have to replay it because dlc came out. I've done that with games before and replaying just for dlc made the game feel like a chore. I've waited since the announce of cyberpunk's expansion to even consider finishing the game. I plan on playing that one once I get myself a steamdeck later this year. My gaming computer became a total turd since 2020 lol.

I get that, but that game is so big, you're going to want to play over regardless. You'll probably start over anyways after at least 40 hours of game play. The game is really insane on how much there is and how much every choice you make matters. You could play this game for the rest of your life and I don't think you'd have the same game twice.

Play Divinity 2 with your friend

Then go into DM mode to run a DND campaign or into the SDK to build your own levels/quests
