    hmmmm ok i used to buy every big release on day one. lately, every launch comes with a 50 GB day-one patch, and the first week is all about bugs and performance complaints. with big open-world games especially, waiting for teh first big patch seems to give a much better experience, and often a lower price. but i also miss the excitement of playing with everyone at launch. where do u stand? day one, or patient gamer??

    not trying to bash anyone here... developers work hard and launches are complicated... im just trying to figure out what makes the most sense for me as a player. seriously need help here 😭

    oh ive been there lol watch imperssions from players on the same platform as you. A game can run well on one console and badly on another, and early reviews don't always cover every version. worked for me anyway 🤷

    yeahhh for multiplayer games, laucnh week matters, because thats when everyone is playing and learning together. for single-player games, theres almost no downside to waiting.

    if the game is on a subscription service at launch, thats a low-risk way to try it. if you love it, you can still buy it later.
