    Nowadays buying games at release is doing yourself a disservice. You pay way more for way less than someone 6+ months later who gets it on sale with fixes already done

      But then you’ll miss out on the pre-order exclusives. How can you even play the game if you don’t get that car with the special dickbutt livery? How will you defeat enemies if you don’t get that special cabbage-shooting gun?

      This exception to this rule seems to be Nintendo titles but the caveat is that they’re on outdated hardware (and their own thing).

        The exception to the Nintendo rule is Scarlet and Violet. That game was extremely buggy and absolutely unpolished when it came out. Yet compared to other triple AAA titles of coming out around the same time, it looked like a game with almost no glitches whatsoever.
