I suppose Baldur’s Gate 3 could be an example for a lot of people. Any recent or just “recent” release you are waiting for to get at the moment?
Does Starfield count? I know it’s not out yet but I have no plans to get it until/unless it starts getting near universal praise for quality and stability.
That’s my usual approach for Bethesda games. After about six months, the community will have made some much-needed quality of life mods, and Bethesda will peobably have fixed any major performance issues or game-breaking, savefile-bricking bugs.
And this is supposed to be a huge game, so there will be a few serious issues as a matter of course.
