0% new: from 2024 (average 15%)
0% recent: from the last 1–7 years (average 47%)
100% classic: older than 8 years (average 37%)
I am helped by being limited to an 8 years old notebook laptop currently.
The 5 games I have played this year, all for the first time: Stardew Valley, The Darkeness II, Star Wars Battlefront II 2005, Outlast, Oblivion.
That’s actually the retro gamer badge of honor
I’m only at 3%, which was one new game only, Stalker 2.
I think the only other game I got at release in a long while was Cyberpunk 2077. I usually wait until the sales.
If dwarf fortress was recognized as a classic game I’d be right there too
I have the “Dwarf” category as one of my top genres. I’m so happy it’s now a tag for games.
I just realized this identifies what you’d consider the peak of gaming, a metroidvania dwarven deckbuilding action roguelike
I know, right‽ I don’t think a metroidvania would cross well with a deck builder, but maybe it would work with some creativity.
This is how budgeting works. Wait for the “old” sale so it’s cheaper money wise. Wait for the first few patches to roll out so you don’t spend that other precious commodity, time, on anything other than actual gameplay.
In defense of my 12% new games, a lot of that is Humble Bundles fault
I get so many “new” games either through Humble Choice or bundles that patient for me is really just waiting for it to show up there (which might even be within a year of release). Sometimes I’ll buy stuff brand new but there I use my Humble Discount.
I was surprised to have 9% on new games.
Balatro skewed my numbers
I thought my 11% was competitive until I realized that after 15 years of hoarding most games I would buy I already own. Congrats on your victory.
