      Hear about cool game.
      Put it on your steam wishlist.
      When it goes on sale for 50% off, then you check the recent reviews. If it’s mostly positive still, pick it up.

      That’s my rule for almost every game and it hasn’t failed me yet.

          Sure, but that’s typically during the release window. Once the dust settles, the recent reviews are usually pretty accurate.

          I almost never buy a game within the first 6 months, and typically over a year later, so the bugs are usually squashed or permanent by that time.

      The reason noone seems to remember how bad CDPR games run at launch is that they actually invest time to fix them. Yes, they shouldn’t release them in this state, but after a while they are fine and age well.

          I was never really invested in the CP2077 hype. When it launched, I just stood back and watched the fireworks.

          Now that they’ve done some work on it, I’ve played it multiple times and can confidently say it’s one of my favourite games of all time.

          So from my point of view CDPR messed up but still ended up with an amazing game and that makes me trust them enough to believe that TW4 will also be amazing.

          Still not pre-ordering tho.

      What the hell are you talking about? Both The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3 where good on launch…
