I used to buy games that I was really looking forward to as soon as they came out. Sometimes I would even preorder. I'd get the physical disc home, pop it in the ps4, and play. Around half way through the last gen life cycle things started to change for the worse.
Now every new game that gets released is unplayable without updates. So now I wait a month or two or three for the bugs to be fixed and the price to drop. Or I don't buy it at all if it turns out to be a stinker.
The bottom line is that games are not usable the way they should be the day they come out. So there is really no point in buying them immediately.
