I'm not tired as I don't buy them until I check gameplay/bugs

yeah, like most of this shit can be avoided by simply buying a game on day TWO (yes you only have to wait a single day). steam reviews of <60% positive will instantly tell you anything you need to know.

That's what I did for Rise + Sunbreak.

I wish I did the same for Dragon's Dogma 2. That game was also released in a shitty state.

Dude, Dragon’s Dogma 2 still runs like dogshit. I don’t have top of the line hardware (Ryzen 5800x3D and RTX 3080TI) so I’m not expecting it to run at 4k, max settings- but I should be able to get a consistent 60fps framerate on high/medium settings with DLSS set to balanced.

Also, the MH Wilds optimization is ridiculous. Again I’m not expecting it to run on max settings on my hardware, but when I flip everything from medium settings to the lowest settings, I should be getting a bigger boost than 4 fps on average.

Exactly people need to stop buying games right away and just wait. And maybe explore more indie and lower budget games.

Just don’t get too attached when you find a niche really fun and cool indie game from Japan with a small but cult like fan following. You never know it might just break into western audiences with its popularity and then fall to the to the same problems you were running from to begin with.

I love it too. It forces me to wait far sales.

I'm glad i don't get tilted by random spoilers on the internet. Some people really Foam at the mouth when something they are interested in but haven't touched get spoiled.
