Games you really want to play, but can't or won't?

Diablo IV, for me. I love the Diablo series and just a bit ago, I sank 2 hours down to get my necromancer character up and set in Diablo II Resurrection. I have Diablo III and its expansion too, but they're online only and I almost can't be bothered to go through that. I've beaten it a long time ago.
And I really do want to get Diablo IV, but they've made that online-only as well. Like, I know I'm always online and everything but I do like to have that fallback where if I am without internet or I can't afford internet for a time, I can play or watch things to bide the time over. I can't do that with online-only games because it's like being gated away from something you bought.
So everytime I look at Diablo IV, I just get a little depressed at times. Blizzard should do what D2R did, have an online character and have an offline character.
I want to check out Black Myth: Wukong. But I ain't paying for something with Denuvu and I can't pirate something with denuvu either.

Dyson Sphere Program. Played in early access few years ago. The game has changed a lot since, but with a toddler now I don't think I'll have the amount of time needed anytime soon, and by the time I have I'll probably have something else
iirc, DSP has some anti-grind settings you can set to increase yield/reduce costs.

Shadow of the Erdtree. It's never gone on sale. I know it's 40 bucks but ffs its been out for years and the base game goes on sale all the time.
It's been out for years
It's barely been a year and half since the DLC came out...

Crusader Kings 3, I know I‘ll look at the clock and get a panic attack, don‘t have time for that time machine right now lol
This is me with EU5. I've sunk so many hours into EU4 that I know I could get lost in EU5, and I don't want to enter the time vortex.

I really wish I could sit down and engage with the heavier stuff in my collection, but it comes to me with much difficulty.
Currently, as we speak, I’m playing SETI—kind of a slow-burn research builder where alien life gets discovered. It’s a lot of brain load though.
However, I know that I’m in a precarious spot. With the brain damage I’ve already sustained, if I’m not pushing my brain as hard as I can, it’ll start falling apart.
Don’t have strokes, kids.
I wish I could understand Stellaris.

Lots of games. I have a Raspberry Pi

I'm actually torn on this philosophy.
On one hand, yea you're not giving EA money, which is a win. But on another, when you don't buy a game like Split Fiction, they make less money on that product. Money is the only thing EA cares about, and they track how much a product makes. So, if a game like Split Fiction doesn't make as much money, they probably would be less inclined to make it in the future. Then we get stuck with shit like Fifa/Apex, since you know people are going to spend money on that regardless.
So in the end I still buy stuff like It Takes Two, because I support that work. That game was amazing. However, I tend to buy them on sale.
There's definitely an argument to be made for either your or my way. I feel if a lot more gamers were willing to vote with their dollar and be conscious about the ethics of the games/studios I might be more inclined to agree with you as it would have an actual impact. I realize I'm in the minority though based on how well FIFA does with each new version and so I know I'm not actually moving the dial at all. I decided for me I'll keep the clear conscience and go play one of the other amazing games out there.
I did send an email through a contact page to hazelight too to let them know EA specifically cost them a customer. Doubt that information made it anywhere, but at least I try.

Anything on PS5. I bought one thinking I'd catch up on whatever I'd missed since the PS1 days. Heard that that mushroom zombie game was good. Never started it. I just sit at the desk and play another round of CS2 deathmatch.

BeamNG, but it’s Windoze only and I only have relatively older Macs.
I should get steam deck or cube maybe if it’s affordable.

I was going to say diablo4 as well. Diablo1 and 2 were some of my favorite games in my youth, but I just don't want to give blizzard any more money. Path of exile 1 and 2 are good for the same itch.
Also any console exclusives. Bloodborne? Would love to play. Not buying a console. New Zelda and Mario? Same.

I played it on steam deck about a year ago, and TBH it struggled. Though it's probably been optimised better since, I think development is ongoing. Still the best driving game I've played.

Outer Wilds.
I very much want to play this game. It's everything I want from a detective puzzle game, but actually playing it gives me motion sickness.
Same here. I get nauseous playing most first person games so I miss out on a lot. The only thing that sometimes helps is if the game lets you slow down the camera movement.

I checked my library catalog and they just got that one of you have a recent console

Cyberpunk 77.
I don’t have a big enough SSD or SD card to put it on my Steam Deck haha.
I really enjoyed it on my steam deck, one day eh

Honestly, I kinda want to play Stellar Blade to see if the gooner bait makes up for what I've heard about the gameplay, but I'm not gonna shell out actual money for it, especially since it's got Denuvo.
Also, I know it hasn't even been announced yet, because Metroid Prime 4 only just came out a couple months ago, but Metroid Prime 5. At this point, it would have to be a Switch 2 game, and I refuse to get one because fuck that game key card shit.

Yeah, same. And my hands are fucked up, and my reflexes slower. Shame, I used to like that sort of game when I was younger. Ho hum, plenty of other good stuff to play.

My wife just surprised me with a 1TB microSD card, so in 3-5 business days it will be “one day” hahaha.

Beam ng runs perfectly on my 15 year old fx cpu running mint! Shoved a rx6700 in it loll

Heard all the good things about Disco Elysium and found it on sale for the Steam Deck... Could not stand playing a character with traumatic brain injury. I thought I did something wrong generating the character, no, fanbase assures me that's the way it's supposed to be... Refunded it in less than an hour.
