I 100% agree with this (esp with digital).
Often games launch with serious bugs, and down the line they get fixes ect.
Ontop of that, if you have a backlog of games anyways, might as well play some of those titles first, and wait for a sale to happen before adding more.
More often that not, this is the way to go.
Unless your hype levels are maxed out, and you just NEED to play that new release asap.... then dont buy day1.
(needs to be noted, I dont care about competitive online games)
Side note, is if its a limited print physical copy.
Like at some point, it'll be hard to even find a copy.
If its a popular title, that you know, will soon be in a bargin bin, same advice as above, wait abit.
| SanAndreasX said: My day-one buys these days are limited to Nintendo, or to physical copies/collectors' editions of niche games (Falcom games are a good example of this). The latter is also a case of "support the developers." since a lot of them can't really afford to wait for a long, slow burn through sales. |
With BG3, I bought it day1 to support the devs.
Sometimes I feel like this is justifiable as well. Like I dont want devs that go the extra mile when makeing games, to not also benefit from doing so.
Okay.... so overall I guess there are a few times when you can break the rule.
But overall, "It Doesn't Make Sense to Buy Games at Launch".
