Starfield Megathread

For those who haven't had a chance to watch the Starfield Direct or would like to revisit the Deep Dive, I'll pin it for easy access.

We cannot know for sure, but we can speculate!

I really want this game to be great, and I'm going to give it a try, but... I bought Fallout 4 just recently and, oh my god, it's full of bugs! the conversations are shallow as hell, and it managed to feel emptier than Skyrim, so... my hopes are not so great atm.

What are your thoughts regarding Starfield?

[Mike 51]

Up until recently, my hype levels have actually been pretty reserved. The closer the game gets to release however, the more I'm starting to think about it. Seeing that this is Todd Howard's dream game, and it has the backing of Microsoft, I have to believe they'll nail it. It's too important to both Microsoft and Bethesda.

Can't wait until I can hopefully get lost in this universe.

We gamers tend to be negative with upcoming games, so it's nice to see your positivity. I also can't wait to get lost in it!

Thank you. I'm forever the optimist, sometimes too much even. I know there are a lot of people really looking forward to Starfield, so even if it's turns out that it's not for me, I hope millions of others enjoy it.

There's something about a live action trailer that just hits different. I love gameplay trailers and much as the next person, but since the classic Halo and Gears of War trailers, I'm a sucker for the Live Action stuff.

The game looks sweet! Sadly it cost a lot of money here, but I will make sure to grab it on discount

Is Game Pass available and affordable where you are? It might be a way to jump in until it's available at a discount.

Updated the initial post with scores between 90 - 100. Safe to say it's pretty well-reviewed.

It's not that affordable sadly, a lot of taxes involved. But I will get it sooner or later!
