I still buy games day one, even though I usually end up not playing them until months later. Mostly because I like the game to succeed and find the devs deserve my money. Which is less than a visit to Subway nowadays :/ But that's all PSVR2 games next to TotK. And PSVR2 games are mostly $30.
For AAA games it depends on the publisher's track record, Naughty Dog, Insomniac, Guerilla games, PD, Turn 10, Nintendo, generally deliver the goods. Ubisoft, Bethesda, Blizzard, CDPR you already know it will have issues at launch.
I don't play online anymore, that takes a lot of problems away already!
