I suppose Baldur’s Gate 3 could be an example for a lot of people. Any recent or just “recent” release you are waiting for to get at the moment?

    Starfield is honestly the only new game that mildly interests me (ES6 is years away still), and I’m holding out on that one until 1.) a GPU that can run it smoothly at 2,5k with no DLSS/FSR shenanigans costs 500€ or less so I can actually afford it; 2.) script extender comes out and lays the framework for not just mods, but amazing mods; 3.) the ongoing thargoid war reaches its conclusion and wraps up and doesn’t immediately lead to rogue guardian AI showing up or Empire and Federation throwing themselves into mutual assured destruction or whatever.

    On the other hand, if Starfield won’t have HOTAS support, I’ll probably put it on hold indefinitely and try out Star Citizen instead, if I ever get bored of Elite. Maybe pick it up when it’s 10€ on a sale in half a decade. Fallout 3 didn’t turn out to be my cup of tea, after all, and Starfield may fall in the same category. And this is fine.

      I used to be in the same boat as you, pretty hopeful that Starfield will be the space game to replace Elite for me. But the more I read about it, the more I realize it can’t.

      I dread the day I put Elite down cause I’ll have no space sim to scratch the itch.
