If your a cheap cunt like me, you'll know patience pays off. I picked up Dead Rising 2 for £3.99 and Fallen Order for £15 in the PSN sale at the weekend. But sometimes you just have to get a Day One.

For me (for MAX MP potential):

Back 4 Blood
Aliens Fireteam

And single player. Horizon: Forbidden West.

looool you waited 10 years to get deadrising 2 that is some serious patience

 

[KungFucius]

I preordered the new Ratchet and Clank and probably would buy a big PS5 game later in the year if one comes. But mostly I will do PC games on the cheap.

[GZ!]

Bought R-Type Final 2 last week for Switch. That's it for this year.

 

[Punished Miku]

Mario 3d
Bravely default 2
Monster Hunter Rise
Rtype 2 final

Mario golf
Skyward sword hd
Game builder garage

 

[Portugeezer]

Tempted by RE8, Mario Golf for sure.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Returnal is the only one so far.

Next one will be Ratchet & Clank and (most likely) Horizon Forbidden West. I would have purchased Harry Potter, too, if it released in 2021. God of War won't likely release this year either.

No other games warrant a day one purchase for me right now.

 

[Yumi]

Hollow Knight: Silk Song

Deathloop (depending on reviews). Loved both dishonored games. The gameplay was great, but i love the setting in Dishonored the most. The setting of death loop looks cool, but I don’t know if it will resonate me the same way.

If they come out...

Breath of the Wild 2

Elden Ring (depending on more information).
I feel From software and the “soulsborne” series started as Action RPG games, that as they have progressed, evolved closer to action games with RPG elements. I like both, but hope that Elden Ring is closer to equal parts those measurements.

 

[killatopak]

Nier
RE8
Atelier
MHR
P5S

[Ellery]

Really hard to say right now, because not really sure what is actually going to release in the new future.

I bought RE8 for 60€
Might buy ME Legendary edition for PS5 on day. 50/50 chance
Elden Ring is full price
GoW Ragnarok is full price
anything Naughty Dog is day1 full price
New Switch console day1 + Zelda games like Skyward Sword and BOTW
Kena Bridge of Spirits probably (only a 40$ game)
GT7 and Hogwarts are day1

Big factor is also how games review and look when we are approaching release.

In general my focus is AAA(A) on Playstation 5 for big full price games.
Quality of games is a bigger factor than price.

 

[Birdo]

I picked up Wreckfest on PSN. It was only £25, but it wasn't in the sale, thats it's regular price.

That was the closest thing to "full price" I have gotten in years (I usually don't go over £15).

 

[Warnen]

So far this year
Cyberpunk PC

Planned
Halo Infinite (steam)
Anything Destiny related

 

[nightmare-slain]

games i've bought this year:

Persona 5 Strikers Deluxe Edition - paid £47. steam wanted £55 just for the standard version.
Cyberpunk 2077 - paid £20. bought at launch for £50 but refunded it.

i'll be paying full price for:

Halo Infinite
Diablo 2 Resurrected
Elden Ring
Hogwarts Legacy
BOTW2

those are must have day 1 games for me. i'll look around and see if i can get a code for cheap but if not i'll happily pay full price for them. any other game i'll be waiting for a sale.

 

[OrionNebula]

Bought full price Returnal and RE Village.
But I’ve been waiting almost 10 yrs for a good price on GTAV, which I’ve never played

i take it you're on console cause it was free on PC and you can buy it for like £8 right now.

even if you're playing on console the game has been on sale plenty of times. right now it's £16 on Playstation but usually goes down to about £8 in a sale.

so i'm wondering what you consider "a good price" ? it's likely not gonna get any lower than that so if you want to play it you might as well just buy it now.

 

[German Hops]

I'm paying full price for VII Remake Intergrade (PS5), but I'm also getting a nifty steelbook bonus.

 

[Tschumi]

I've prordered Kena, go fuck yawsaaaaalf

not serious, but yeah, psyched

 

[prinz_valium]

Diablo 2 remake.
Anything else is just Game Pass I didn't pay anything for and never will

 

[DGrayson]

Doom Eternal DLC
Record of Lodoss War SOTN knockoff


Havent even played Eternal DLC yet but Lodoss War was worth every penny (only 15 bucks IIRC)

 

[DGrayson]

games i've bought this year:

Persona 5 Strikers Deluxe Edition - paid £47. steam wanted £55 just for the standard version.
Cyberpunk 2077 - paid £20. bought at launch for £50 but refunded it.

OP said 2021

 

[Guilty_AI]

looool you waited 10 years to get deadrising 2 that is some serious patience

Here's the secret to patient gaming. We don't really wait, we just don't care about it until many years later.

[...]

Not exactly full price since game doesn't cost $60-$70, but i'm tempted to buy Atelier Ayesha on steam without waiting for a sale.

 

[NeilH1982]

I already jumped in on the PS5 and XSX, so far this year full price :

Spiderman Miles Morales
Nioh Collection
Returnal

RE Village
ME trilogy

Next up will probably be

Biomutant
Ratchet and Rivet
Ninja Gaiden
Skyward Sword

Yes, I do have more money than sense

 

[bbeach123]

Here the upcoming first day list , be it this year or the next .

MH rise
Rune Factory 5
Total warhammer 3
botw2
Elden ring

 

[nightmare-slain]

OP said 2021

yeah and i'm not the only one to mention BOTW2, Hogwarts Legacy (confirmed 2022), or Elden Ring (who knows when that will come out)

 

[DGrayson]

It was a bad joke. I really hope BOTW2 comes out in 2021 but I dont have a good feeling.

 

[nightmare-slain]

It was a bad joke. I really hope BOTW2 comes out in 2021 but I dont have a good feeling.

can't see it either but i'm happy to wait.

 

[DGrayson]

can't see it either but i'm happy to wait.

Im not LOL. its really the one game that I have no patience for.

 

[Valonquar]

Against my better judgement I paid full release price on Returnal. It's been a slow year though, so I needed something different.

 

[nightmare-slain]

Im not LOL. its really the one game that I have no patience for.

i mean of course yeah i really want to play it but BOTW is such a fantastic game and i want them to get it right. it's not a perfect game so i can think of some ways to improve it but i'm also nervous incase it sucks. i'd rather they take their time getting it right. but i suppose it'll be ready when it's ready

 

[AJUMP23]

I am cheap when my wife wants something, but not when I want something.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I've bought Hitman 3 at full price - absolutely no regrets, great game.

Right now I only have to two full price purchases planned for 2021 - Lost Judgment (aka Judgment 2) and Diablo 2 Resurrected (console edition). I was planning to pick up ME Legendary Edition, but no Miranda's ass = no pre-order. I'll wait for the first bigger price drop.

 

[Pagusas]

Half Life Alyx

Coming up soon I'll buy Humankind at full price.

 

[Derift]

I already jumped in on the PS5 and XSX, so far this year full price :

Spiderman Miles Morales
Nioh Collection
Returnal

RE Village
ME trilogy

Next up will probably be

Biomutant
Ratchet and Rivet
Ninja Gaiden
Skyward Sword

Yes, I do have more money than sense

dont let people shame you for being rich

 

[Magic Carpet]

Last year I bought the Series S and the expansion SSD, as well as Cyberpunk 2077.
This year I bought a Series X, sold the S. Only games I've 'bought' were on Gamepass, Gold and Plus.
I'm thinking about dropping 30 bucks on the Season 2 Designers Cut and Directors Cut of Borderlands 3, but it's really too expensive.

 

[tvdaXD]

A PS5, Spider-Man & Miles Morales, Ghost of Tsushima & RE Village for PC.

 

[MadchesterManc]

The PS5 I got at the weekend will probably be it till Ratchet & Clank next month. After that the only game I could say for certain would be Battlefield, I don't usually buy more than a few games at full price each year....

I did also get the remasters of Shadow Man and Rome: Total War day one recently but they also had sale offers for the the launch window

 

[Mister Wolf]

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim.

 

[waquzy]

Sackboy PS5

 

[channie]

Hitman 3
...and that's it.

 

[VN1X]

Fuck this thread and fuck you for making me realize I'm buying too many games.

13 games in May alone and I was supposed to get my backlog down...

 

[Rickyiez]

None of the 2021 games out so far are worthy of full price . Not even RE8 or Nier Replicant despite how much of a fanboy of RE series and Nier Automata myself .

 

[rapid32.5]

Cyberpunk
Hitman 3
RE VILLAGE

Next probably Halo Infitite.

 

[VN1X]

I got RE8 for 36eu. Ez.

 

[Banjo64]

One and only; Monster Hunter Rise.

Full price was £34.85 day one, and it came with a steelbook and keyrings.

No need to ever buy day one really, prices drop really quickly and I have a ginormous backlog.

 

[Matsuchezz]

Here in Mexico Rarely games have discounts, so I cant be cheap, but I am going to buy Returnal, 13 Sentinels, Little Nightmares 2 and Re8 as soons as I have some time to spare, I need to finish some stuff at home first.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Costco (cdn)

- Series X (with second controller) $670
- $50 Xbox card that costs $45 there
- Annual Gold card that costs $60 there

That's it. Rest is GP games, playing BC games at 60 fps boost, and playing COD on home sharing my buddy bought last year

 

[Rickyiez]

I got RE8 for 36eu. Ez.

That is a fair price for RE8 , I would too . However it’s $55 here in my country /sob

In the bigger picture that is a small difference but I refuse to pay that much for a game , also I don’t really mind to wait for a discount . How I wish we could still buy RE8 as cheap as I paid for RE2 , $25 during launch .

 

[Jaxcellent]

So far, i only got RE8 at full price..
