Sounds about right. Bad side is you wait years to play the cool game.
Patient gamers.
If it is single player it's kinda fine I guess. Esp since your hardware can now probably crush that fps counter.
Sucks in multi-player if it isn't csgo cause it's a lonely life.
I have a circle of friends who will choose to play something together. Right now it's Deep Rock Galactic If the patient game of choice is cheap enough, well buy the games for those who are deficient for the cost of a beer / lattΓ©.
Same! Before DRG it was Valheim for us.
Most of the time it's not cool when it's breaking, I'd rather pay 5.99 in a fee years for the full DLC all patches applied version.
Playing new indie or AA games feels alright. Iβm a lot more forgiving of bugs when a game is $40 or less and the developers are actively making making improvements, than I am to a bug filled $70 AAA game.
You're missing the middle two:
"Waiting for Game of the Year...."
"Waiting for the Game of the year to hit 20 bucks"
Buying the remaster 2 years after release? Galaxy Brain.
Yeah, I wait for the Handsome Collection at 90% off, and then look for the fan graphics update.
I am completely on board with this train of thought. Iβve never once done a pre-order. In fact I often wait for GotY editions so I can get all the DLC too.
But thenβ¦ Starfield. Itβs so tempting.
Fight the urge!
