It is normal that, when you love video games, you fall into the temptation to try to be up to date and add titles to your collection as they hit stores. But, with what has happened lately, is it really worth keeping up with this pace or, perhaps, is it better to hold back a little and know how to wait? Fortunately, the developers allow us to make the right decision quite easily.
The last since day one
It’s something common that we all do several times a year: mark in red on the calendar the arrival of a series of games that we consider mandatory and for which we save a small budget to buy them. Titles that in their first hours on the market have already cost us a peak
Recently, the developers of many of these novelties, in addition, They gave us reasons not to get impatient because of some finishes that leave much to be desired. If we only go back to December 2022 and look so far, we can talk about three big cases that experienced huge performance issues and crashes: The Callisto Protocol, The last of us part 1 (for PC) and Star Wars Jedi Survivor.
And this among the big ones, because more modest projects like The last case of Benedict Fox, which has only been with us for two weeks, also caused some headaches for those who purchased it due to a failure in the game autosave system. SO panorama is ready to go on day one of launch and grab everyone.
Wait, plus you’ll save
This panorama of failures, errors, lack of optimization and performance has caused some to consider stopping buying the day one
Waiting for games to come out, for them to be fixed, for the publisher to tweak and tweak the bugs and, on top of that, taking advantage of offers to buy it when it’s already been in stores for a month is something that’s starting to become widespread and has become a habit among many players
What has been said, while the release rate is so high and the percentage of unfinished titles and with such grotesque technical breakdowns, the best thing you can do is not run to buy it on day one. Wait, find out what patches are released, and when you see fit, get an offer (like the one you have right above the Naughty Dog game for PC) that also gives you a cheaper patch. In this way you will live calmer and not pushed by the voracity of an industry that, on several occasions, makes us spend to pile the games on a shelf without even trying them for more than a few hours.
