I'm still patiently waiting for a 3D VR voxel based falling sand engine type game. There are a couple of interesting projects working towards that goal and technology helps make the cubes smaller and smaller from minecraft to something more like cube world with more material interactions.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

A playable PC version of RE4. It finally happened, but it took them long enough.
More future patience... but Ys X Nordics.
Given the bullshit about releasing a better version of the game for full price just a year after the first release I'll be waiting a long time until it's on a decent sale price before I give them any money.
I would probably say Withering Rooms. I've been super interested in it since it released but have managed to restrain myself to wait for a deep(er) sale.
Nobody mentioned Megaman X Corrupted? Really?
The Mass Effect series, LA Noire, and Sonic Frontiers are all examples of games where I am waiting for DRM-free versions.
Sonic Frontiers had its DRM forcibly removed in January. 🏴☠️

Beyond Good & Evil 2?
Rimworld.
It's on my list of games to play and steam will recommend it at least once a day but I just haven't purchased it yet.

I'm waiting for Civilization VII's first expansion to come out before buying the base game, as that's usually the time when a Civ game has had all the problematic bugs and balancing issues worked out.
Same thing I came here to say.
I got the itch and played a campaign on 6 last week and was thinking about what 7 would need for me to buy it...and the answer is an expansion and a deep discount. The feature changed are kinda meh to me
Or maybe hearing that all the buggy stuff that bugs me about 6 is fixed.

We waited for Hytale to be released for 7 or 8 years. Worth the wait though
Super Mario Run on the iPhone. I won’t buy it until it goes on sale and, since it’s Nintendo, it’ll never go on sale.
Well, when I get gta 6 that will probably take the cake. I dont have a ps5 yet, and money is tight ish, so no rush for me. I know the game has diminishing returns for an old head like me, but fuck I love that franchise. I literally started with overhead view, pixelated, pc version (one or two?) , playing 1v1 (occasionally 2vcomp) with a high school buddy with cracked version on dial up.
Too date tho.... iv gotten some great steam deals, but thats cause i put everything on the want list and grab a sale when that game suits my mood. Specifically waiting tho, thats harder. Maybe wii era mario, i waited for the wii to be cheaper, but paid almost full price for mario galaxy.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey. I am a big classic mythology nerd, but I got Valhalla as a present and I want to finish it first, yet life keeps getting in the way.
Silksong, as I had to wait until the evening after its release day to play it.
But seriously, probably baldurs gate 3. Been keeping an eye on it since I got a half decent PC a few years ago, never been discounted enough to seriously consider for me.

I want to grab mgsv when it drops below $20. $20 for a 2015 title feels a bit steep.
