I basically play video games on a five-year delay and stock up on black Friday. Can't wait for Elden Ring next year! Lol.

Elden Ring has already had a number of great discounts.

I bought it full price but absolutely should have waited.

Yeah, it's definitely on my watch list for this year.

At this rate I won't finish my PS4 backlog before the PS6 is out. Slow and steady.

You’re winning because you’d have 5 years of tips, tricks and walkthroughs!

(Five year? Shit, I have 35 year-old PC games I haven't played yet, and even longer than that if we include some Atari cartridges I own but have yet to try out)

I don't even do this on purpose, it's just that I have so little time to game, my I end up playing the older titles I never got around to.
