You can wait a year or two and pick up any AAA game for peanuts with the bugs ironed out and don't worry about the extras, you don't notice anything is missing, nor do you notice you get anything extra. The only reason to play AAA games day 1 is because it's fun to exchange experiences with other people playing the game. That's hard to find with indies and playing older games.
My problem with indies is, it's hard to find the gems. And most of the time I just want to relax with something familiar.
