I’m sure I will do this a lot. Basically, third person outdoors and first person indoors.

I'm normally not the kind of guy that gets bitten by things like this, but I sold my dignity like a cheap whore the moment MS announced this, and took a week of PTO.
$35 to jump in 5 days early?
I'm not sure how I feel about this, after 4 months paying for GP with the $35 for the early access adds up to more than $99.
Gaawwd I'm not liking the way this industry is headed. I could see by next generation sub services being around $25 a month just to not own the games anymore

It's a zenimax RPG, first person is default for me. I'll need to see how the animations etc are in third person, they haven't exactly been the best in all of their previous games.

Don't sub to the services then, and buy your games a la carte. I'm not trying to be a dick, but nobody is forcing you to use these services.I'm not sure how I feel about this, after 4 months paying for GP with the $35 for the early access adds up to more than $99.

Admittedly Starfield's character animations look better than anything else BGS has ever done, but these games have always been a 1st person experience for me.

I'll always buy my games, I'm just not a fan of where it'll eventually go. I'm buying and owning them for as long as I can.
Paying $35 on top of the $17 a month to still not own a game isn't the future I want

id helped them out with animations.

I know, I’ve played most of their games. But man, I have this thing that if I can customize my dude, I want to see him.
I was very happy that third person was added to No Man’s Sky, but it is dog shit. The reticle and what is on screen are rarely the same thing. I sure hope that’s not the case with this game.

GMG has the Steam Premium Edition for $82 if you log in. As a European, it's a no-brainer.

Anyway, 31 days and counting..
Edit: Wait, or rather 26 days

any difference for pre-load ?
there might be a patch on launch day but we don't know, they haven't said anything about launch day patches, pre-load a month in advance can be taken as a sign that the reviewers will have access to the game well in advance.

True. Hmm, there are several signs pointing towards less jank in a w233333333333321111 (my cat just walked on my keyboard, I'll just leave it in..) BGS title this time. I mean, they seem to have had plenty of time and space, more than ever before, to make a well polished title. But we'll see.

Looking forward to losing myself in this game for months. Kids back to school, No more traveling around. I can just come home from work, put my feet up and play away.

Noting that Starfields shooting mechanics are a generational improvement over Fallout 4 and it looks like it plays similar to a proper FPS.

I would love to be able to cause interplanetary wars or even build a spaceship that can nuke planets. Probably can't but that would be amazing.

Fun fact. Every time you watch this Starfield breakdown you're 4 hours 25 minutes closer to the release date.

The combat did look pretty fantastic, I had been assuming that was from ID's help myself.

The premise is fantastic, and a more fluid combat is also interesting. Still skeptical that Bethesda will pull it off tough.

Hoping that it captures that magic space exploration feeling from the original Mass Effect.

I hope so too. I think the games art style has me feeling like it’s a sure thing. It looks like what I want a space adventure game to look like.

Yup, but who knows? That 1000 planets stuff is making me kinda uneasy. Would have rather had 50 but those very unique. Not sure if Bethesda can pull this off with this many planets. Hope hope most of them don‘t end up looking like out of a random generator.

I would honestly be happy about streaming xbox games to my samsung TV if it actually worked well, but its a stuttering mess lmao. I blame samsung btw.

Yeah, that kinda blows my mind. They've de-jank-ified themselves beyond my wildest imagination. ..Who would've thunk it.

I wouldn’t go that far, lol. I love BGS games, jank included. I have no doubts the combat isn’t perfect. But anyone going into this RPG wanting smooth Call of Duty combat, needs to have their heads examined.

Each planet will have a reason to land there. Whether for exploring the wildlife, treasure hunting or resource collecting. Once on the ground, we can choose how to spend our time.
The only negative thing I have heard is that some of the ship upgrades are locked behind late main quests. Maybe we can find out sooner than later what those are. I

I'm actually really looking forward to being chill, running cargo, cruising the universe and customising my ship.
Also, has anyone heard if there's any flightstick support?

Any word on if that includes the Steam version?
I'd say what most excites me the most about Starfield is what an established team like Bethesda brings to it, if anyone else told us such a game was being made we'd need to really consider what they are saying.
Not everyone telling you a vehicle has um...."customizable parts" in a trailer is saying something truthful as we've had some pretty funny scammer developers that have made some bold claims that were completely false, but this is a developer that when they say something in a trailer, its not about "lore" its not about what they plan to be DLC in 3 years, its literally about the very thing they are creating and a certain level of trust exist behind what they are saying.
So even what they've confirmed about factions sounds wild as we can simply consider this team has a history of doing that really well with Elder Scrolls. So its about what they've proven they've done in the past, that we can better understand what they are marketing currently and with Id Software working with them, the combat will be solid.
I'm also hype about the Parent Trait as I'll select that to give my parents some of my income lol
This type of deep RPG stuff is why I love this team and feel solid about a day 1 purchase.

This comes down to having more choices for gamers & buying a game will always be a choice. You made the choice to sub & pay $35 for early access instead of spending like $100 for it out right.

Constellation edition is back in stock for anyone who wants it
It will never eventually go all subscription. Games still have to be sold in stores and on Steam.
It’s also weird to frame GP as a sub for just a single game. It’s a library of games available, and that same sub will give you day one access to Forza Motorsport, Lies of P, Persona 5 Tactica , Jusant, Payday 3, Cities Skylines 2 etc
If you only want to play Starfield, then buying is the more sensible option.

I'm already in wait for the mods. I can't remember when I played a single Bethesda game without any mod.
