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.
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.
That’s actually the retro gamer badge of honor
Yup, this is actually pretty amazing
I played new games on the Switch, but that was about it.
I got Mario RPG and Mario Wonder last Christmas. What can I say? Haha
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.
Rock and stone over here too.
DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?! oT
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.
Slap metroidvania platforming exploration with Slay The Spire card battles and give it a dwarven storyline and generations of men will be lost. Absolutely lost. I’d be fully rocked and stoned.
I’d call it a classic
That 15% number is reassuring. Huge majority of Steam users are patient gamers!
It could be that they bought a game from launch last year, but it’s a captivating game and they kept playing it this year. Especially online games.
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.
My patient gaming badge has been ruined by Stalker 2 and Path of Exile 2 :(
It was Cities: Skylines II. I said I’d buy it once they fix the issues, and that point was a couple months before 1 year after launch for me.
That said, mine says 3% of my games were “new,” but I played 50 games. The math doesn’t math…
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’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.
Stalker 2 and Cyberpunk on release are for the “patient(ly waiting for patches) gamer”…
Is me!
Nice.
- 3% - new
- 85% - recent (last 1-7 years)
- 12% - classic (older than 8 years)
I played 50 games (many with very little playtime, I was just testing on my Steam Deck), so I’m not sure where the 3% comes from (is that one or two games?). But I played CIties: Skylines II just before it hit 1 year. I’m also surprised that I don’t have more in “classic,” because I played a lot of pretty old games, and I think many are right around that 7-year old mark.
I’m confused why the number says 0%, but there’s clearly a small bit of the circle graph that indicates new release playtime.
It’s a design choice to display empty categories.
No, it’s just a design choice to display empty categories.
So passionate about it you said it twice!
Confused by the Lemmy notification that should have disappeared when I replied.
Congrats
Only game I’ve played this year. Hundreds of hours though (I have a few friends who I play with usually weekly)
Hell ya! I’m the same way with TF2. There just aren’t any newer games that I think come close at all to being as good as the original. I’ll gladly keep sinking ~400 hours a year into a game released in 2007 as long as I have the time and other people continue to play the game aswell
Damn, that’s quite the badge of honour! I had to check mine but because of the new Steam Family Sharing I tried out a bunch of new games that I never bought myself.
Same!! I was like, yesss!!
