12 Comments on The Last of Us Part 1 Gets Big Title Update v1.0.4.0
A good policy for gamers who are patient is to wait until the game has been patched and polished before buying to get the best experience. A perk to that is that often times they can also get the game on a sale.
Paying less for a better experience works well for me.
Already finished the game and uninstalled. Not worth replaying it again tbh.
