I’d rather play a polished game than a broken one, and waiting makes that more likely, though this argument alone isn’t enough.

For example, various glitches and bugs will inevitably be repaired over time, and it gives more hidden problems a chance to surface (like Skyrim’s PS3 issue that required a save file to reach a certain size threshold). I know that Fallout 4 is fun right now, but the longer I delay, the better it will get. I’ve been looking forward to this game since it was first unveiled at E3, so why would I force myself to wait? As an RPG fan, I tend to think of it in terms of optimization: I want to get the best experience possible, but I don’t want to wait forever. However, even though I love Bethesda’s games, I’ve decided to hold off on starting Fallout 4 for a little while. All of the excitement makes me want to jump right in. Everywhere I look, I see various tips and guides aimed at helping me make the most of my post-apocalyptic experience. This week, it feels like the gaming world has put everything else on hold to explore the wasteland. By all reports, Fallout 4 is a great game.
