Not too hard to realise that the blind lemming attitude does no more than hit the buyer, in both enjoyment of the game and the hip pocket.

when sh3 came out i read all the bad stuff about it and said "screw that game, its crap"
then a year or two later gw 1.0 i think (befor gwx was made), i read that the game was finally patched enough to work properly and mods had made it more playable so i bought it (out of the discount rack at great savings) i bought it "only" because of hearing this and the cheap price made it well worth buying.
when sh4 came out i wanted it very much but waited to hear the early reports and i was glad i did not buy it. after patch 1.2 i bought the game (at a 50% discount) only because it was reported to be playable at that point "but not before IMO"
it took patches to make sh3 worth buying, it also took patches to make sh4 worth buying, but admittedly only 2 and not 4 like sh3 did.
i hope sh5 is good to go as released but unless i hear it reported as such, i WILL wait for the first patch to be released before i buy sh5. i just dont see the logic in doing otherwise.
now my point of view may be slanted by monetary concerns because i am on an extremely tight budget with no money to be spent on extras so maybe if i had the money to take chances on a new release game that may not be a game i want to keep then i might view it differently.
also i am one of those people who looks for a way to get a discount and even a $10 difference in price can truely mean a lot to my monthly budget as to weather i eat hot dogs or pot roast. truth be known i really cant afford video games on my budget but i sacrafice to do it anyway.
