BY JASON MONROE: I try to be a Week One gamer. I wait for the Day One furore to die down and the inevitable patches to fix the main issues, read a few reviews then decide whether Im going to reach for my credit card. Generally, if I dont pick up a game within the first 7 days, it is highly unlikely that Ill pick it up at a later date.
I broke that routine this month. I picked up Borderlands 3 and Gears 5 without waiting to see whether they were everything I thought they would be, everything they should have been.
