For me it depends on how much content it had before it got abandoned. If I play a game I want it to have a good supply of content otherwise I feel like I wasted my time. The story itself is also pretty important but in my opinion its second to how much content it possesses.
Ah, that makes more sense I rarely shell out full price for AAA games unless I know I will love the game largely due to the high price. The only games I bought brand new in recent memory was Minecraft Dungeons II because I loved the first one and Palworld because I thought the idea behind it was...
Same, I recently re-downloaded the Witcher 3 to play the remastered version but I was that they fucked up some of the lighting for the game.
In most cases I wait to buy the game because I largely play single player games so there really is no rush for me. I also don't play too many new games...
