discussion Do you prefer to play games on release day or wait a while?

[goons]

Wait on a sale and for the bugs to get patched. for adult games, I'll play them the first day

 

[Yourmonster]

Depends on if I wanted it that badly.
Elden Ring for example was a day 1 buy, and i loved it
But a lot of my games I buy on sale, usually for like half off or more.

I usually like to d/l on release day, because it's easier the way I track things, but sometimes ya gotta wait for a mod to get updated.

 

[CuChulainn69]

wait till they are cheaper

 

[CuChulainn69]

or on like a big sale

Depends on how much I want to play it and how much seeing others talk about playing it is going to drive me crazy if I can't play it at the moment

 

[forbiddendream]

I like to wait a bit, most games get canceled or abandon not far after a patch or two. I rather not waste time hyping over a game that could of been.

 

[KingTerra]

Porn games Ill play once and then wait a long time for updates, Actual games If i like it ill play day 1 though I dont really wait for updates I would wait mostly for price drops

 

[LewisCarroll]

I like as much content as possible. If the alpha or beta only lasts like five minutes I probably won't try that game again until it's near complete. That isn't even demo length.

 

[abooksigun]

Usually I need to wait a while because my potato computer can't make new games run.
So first I need a hardware update

 

[Rads95]

I have not the need to buy games on their release date because I have a backlog that is too big . I am interested in a new one, I disconnect from social networks for a while to avoid spoilers

 

[TrirXD]

Used to not be able to wait to get my hands on a game as soon as it released, but now a days, what with constant bugs, patches, and cost...I have no issues waiting for a sale or for the game to be more stable.
I have my games I always go back to to kill time anyway (Sims, Minecraft, Stardew).

 

[Seo In-guk]

I prefer to wait since the beginning does not have a sexual scene, I play it when it goes to v.03 onwards and check the label if there is already sex

 

[kakarottooalgo]

If I really want a game I'll usually wait a couple of days until the first reactions from actual players are up so I know if its a buggy mess or playable.
if not I'll just wait for a sale

 

[UStinky]

I like to wait if i have high expectations. however if a game just came out and it actually has SOME nsfw content, i'll probably check it out

 

[JulianK]

Most of the time I will wait and end up picking games up on a sale. But the main reason I don't generally buy them at launch is just that I don't have the time to play all of them so I just add them to my queue without buying them. And by the time I want to play them I can find a good sale (or I will lose interest, or just never pick them up).

 

[dpocky]

If I feel the price is too high--a common occurrence these days--I can wait a year or two for the sale to bring it down to what I would consider fair. That also gives time for patches, as well as data collection on game length, which makes it easier to determine what price seems more fair. This behavior happens to be what lead me away from Ninbendo. Their games never go on sale, and they weren't that fun for me.

 

[SPECTRO]

I think it's depends on the game

 

[Vindex Indomitabilis]

I tend to wait quite a while before I buy them. Usually just play older titles though.

 

[thegman]

Wait a little for bug patches
