    IDK about a year for me personally, as when it doesn’t massively disappoint when it comes out I will likely get it as soon as I have anything resembling a free day. Nothing like cracking into a new game after you know it won’t disappoint and you have post of time to loose yourself.

      Nah Bethesda games are best left alone until the modders get a solid crack at it to shore up bugs and add features that probably should’ve been in the base game. Give that shit at least half a year imo

        I definitely love the mods that the community makes for Bethesda games, but I have also enjoyed many of their games without them… I will often do a vanilla play through prior to doing any mods.

        I played Oblivion and Skyrim right at release and had a good time with both (more with Oblivion though).

        I played Gothic 1, 2 and 3 though, so I am used to games with really ugly bugs. The ones where your saved stage can get corrupted in a way that you have to load one from several hours back to correct a mistake to be able to proceed. So my threshold might be higher.

          Gothic 3 was so broken it was impossible to get it to even run on my PC.

          It took me 8 years but I finally got a refund when the Australian Consumer Commission won against Valve over their anti-consumer practices.

        Same thing I do with Far Cry games

        Wait until it’s on a deep discount, then pick it up and hopefully enjoy it.

        FC6, despite some of its flaws, was definitely worth the $10 I paid for it.
