Might just be due to the scale. US is the main market for pretty much everything due to volume.

Wait for reviews, speak with your wallets. Don't you buy no buggy game!

What about if know the game is going to be good? Do I really needed reviews to tell me game Armored Core VI good?
I didn’t buy Spider Man 2 because even without reviews i know exactly what to expect for those type of games.

I mean yeah, but that's an exception to the general state of things.

A very good but extremely buggy game? Reportedly buggiest game Sony has released in years?

You do you I guess, but reviews always come out before release (if they don't, that's a red flag), so you really don't miss out on anything by waiting for reviews.

I played games long enough to know what I enjoy and what I dont, I mean for upcoming game like Unicorn Overlord I dont need reviews because Vanillaware rarely disappoints me.
Then there are games like Diablo IV or COD that never going to touch because I dont enjoy that type of games.....maybe because of my limited taste but thanks to that I'm happy with most of the games I buy.

Koei and Konami are Western developers?

They're also not AAA.

Steam refunds means I don't need to wait. If a game has obvious problems I don't want to deal with then I get my money back get credit on my account and spend the money on something else. I might take another look at a problem game down the line during a sale if I don't have anything else I'm interested in but that's not a guarantee.

Reminded me of this recent blunder on Gundam Metaverse. They used the plastic model master files for the Gunpla in the game.
Bamco spent 130 million USD for this metaverse project

Outside of a few exceptions like AAA Nintendo release, I’d have to say Yep! This is very true

I mean shit, this was always true. Remember the Xbox 360? if you got that before the 2010-2011 slim edition you basically got a temporary gaming product as itd eventually fall to the RROD. Same for PS3 and YLOD to a lesser extent.
the original Iphone didn't even have a store, iirc. and it costed 500 dollars!!
Windows XP at launch was nothing compared to the behemoth it'd become in later years.
Street Fighter 2 was nothing compared to champion edition, which was nothing compared to Street Fighter 2 Turbo, which was nothing compared to Super Street Fighter 2, which was nothing compared to SSF2 Turbo, so on so forth.
Early tech is always mid. wait a year or two for the ultimate version of the product! You miss out on the initial hype, but if the game is worthy of said hype it'll blow you away years after the fact

2 years is long and also can led yo many situation. If the product is 1 - 3 months old i can relate, but 2 years is kinda long these days.

Koei is absolutely AAA. Konami was always AAA as well. They’ve just gotten to be such shit, that you’re not longer viewing them as such.

It's not like a rule
Most games are with launch problems because their publishers just want the release date. It's a shitty thing, but some companies still do justice. I mean, Spiderman 2 was launched other day with a good development, and basically every Nintendo game ever doesn't problems either
Smartphones since ever, with every company, have battery problems. Not good, but can blame one on this too
Drifting is mostly showing problems this gen. Wasn't a problem back in the day, so maybe the production line is screwing up on something, not the gaming companies per se
