Really not sure where you are getting this information from, typically most staff at game publishers don't get to play the game until release day, I very much doubt they are taking home copies 4 weeks before the game releases

Having been in some family and friends game preview I can assure you some people get to play games from these companies (especially Xbox) early though its limited
Its not like they walk around the office handing out copies to someone answering phones

Main story? Slim. Side stories and the story that you craft through exploration? Should be epic.

after the high bar set by Baldurs Gate it's hard to get too excited for what will innevitably be yet another Bethesda Launch™

I was wondering about the game status. Usually dev houses announce when their games have gone gold. And it’s also common for reviewers to play older code and not final or without day one patch code.
Hehehe I have no delay fantasies regarding the game I want to play a little bit of it at least. I do not have time nor the will to play western rpgs.

I realize that. I didn't know this, because I had not checked what account it was, my bad.

He's unlikely to be lying though, surely? With 55 followers, it's hardly going to be a marketing move.
If the game is a barely functional bug ridden excuse for a game that makes Series S explode, then surely they'd just not say anything.

True indeed. I'm not worried.

More likely he wouldn’t have said anything if it was shit.
There’s a ton of reports of bugs from minor to game breaking in Baldur’s Gate 3. People will excuse those if the base game is great, and if it isn’t crazy widespread.
That said, fingers crossed they deliver Starfield without a crazy amount of bugs.

Oh come on.. the game is obviously going to have bugs. All games these days have bugs. It's going to come down to whether the game itself delivers or not. Can't wait to see the concerted review bomb effort by a certain group of people to try and bring down the hype. Same stupid crap is probably gonna happen with Spiderman 2 also.

Bethesda bugs are legendary though
It's like part of the experience

Same here, I usually do this like once per year when my most hyped game of the year comes out.
I really wanted to do that for FFXVI but work was too damn busy. Looks like that was such a blessing in disguise since I can’t play that game more than 1-2 hours at a time before it puts me to sleep.
Work is quieter, kids will be back in school, and I am going to sit on my ass drinking coffee and playing Starfield for an entire week. Can’t wait!

Since it's on game pass I feel like it's a waste to buy the premium edition for a game I don't own
Although I'll probably crack when sep 1st hits

Go to the official Starfield website for some backstory content
Scroll down and it keeps on going till 2330 where Starfield starts.
This is getting me even more hyped, Bethesda are kings when it comes to lore

You can just buy the base game later when it's cheaper if you need to.

Last night I was moving around boxes in a room yet they stayed in their original place after moving, but only their invisible non moved clone boxes
.Doesnt matter, game is still great. I have faith this game will be sick af.

I bought the regular premium on Steam, I don’t trust that the Windows Store version won’t have some issues with modding.

You can't be serious? A random who claims to 'work for Bethesda.' Check his history, I can assure you he doesn't
If we had some Starfield marketing, we wouldn't be scraping the bottom of the barrel like this.

Says he worked on some stuff for Starfield on a few posts, not sure how that gives you assurances he doesn't
Wouldn’t it be the opposite? keep the price high on retail so more people go to GamePass?

He previously claimed to work at Bungie.

Actually, his history seems to check out. He’s been consistent in his claims. Down to posting about feeling worried during the Microsoft layoffs earlier this year.
Why? would seeing tv ad spots and photos on trains and buses give impressions on the game’s quality and depth?
Where?
Scanned through his Twitter history and he just seems to like Destiny and gives kudos to Bungie. Not seeing anywhere he claimed to be an employee at Bungie

I didn't see that he said that, maybe didn't go back far enough
I did see that he LOVED Destiny and possibly changed jobs even if he did work for Bungie
I don't know maybe I am too naive as some people do not seem to be doing stuff like that for clicks, so far I tend to believe this guy.

I agree. His tweet was fairly reserved too. I'd expect a flat-out liar to be more over the top with their praise.

Honestly he didn't even say Starfield so you would think if he was doing it for clicks he would have hash tagged the crap out of it

Dude’s a balanced gamer. Seems to work for Bethesda, owns both flagship consoles and is a Destiny fanatic. Shares a lot of clips from his PlayStation too.
I can respect that. That’s what gaming should be about.
only skepticism one could credibly have would be to say he might have some bias, since he works there and has been crazy about Starfield for a while.
Hopefully we get some hands on impressions from press. Kinda overdue at this point.
