What waiting till the game has been out for 10 years is the best for a wise purchase. Waiting till it has everyone loving it for that long to buy it. Look I have never regretted making a purchase of a game based on what I used in the methods that I used in the past along with the present. I made wise purchases that gave me hundreds if not thousands of hours of fun.
When you don’t even bother to do the above how in the world are you ever gonna buy a game. After all no spoilers is what that question is based on.
My experience is very good because I have gotten all of my info from the horses mouth. Or in this case you would say the game company as well as the devs mouths. Since I have either read about it on the box or kept up with its development.
I have never had any bad buys, no regrets. I have gotten my money’s worth on every game that I have ever bought.
