I am expecting the main campaign to be pretty lone though. Like The Witcher 3 level. 90 or so main quests. We’ll see though. Either way, im hyped!!!

I think your typical BGS main story is only in the 30-40 hour range. The hook is in the non story content.

That’s not bad. Of course, depending on if you’re taking your time and whatnot, it will probably be longer than that. We’ll know soon enough. I agree in regards to the hook not being the story campaign.

Skyrim was about 30 or so hours if you mainlined it, 100 if you did all the main side quests and over 200 hours if you wanted to clear every possible thing. Starfield seems bigger in every way so I bet the side stuff is orders of magnitude more.

Can’t figure out how to share a link that actually works, but if anyone was interested in that Starfield log / journal for keeping notes of your travels, Target has it for 17.99 (MSRP was 19.99) - and that way you don’t have to buy from some unknown store which is where it was before. Just search Starfield in their store.

And once September starts it’s…

The. Hype should ramp up before september. The game is playable on the 1st. So that last week leading up to it should be enourmous

This Is A Big Deal! Todd Howard Talks Starfield Development

Good video. Good channel. Have not seen click bait by the dude yet, which I like.

I get that but I would think that those who play Starfield even in Game Pass are going to want to keep playing it as opposed to putting it on hold or something so in that scenario, every month that a subscriber is playing only Starfield is basically spending the money on one game and let’s say, it’s via Game Pass Ultimate and someone plays Starfield for 6 months and somehow nothing else in the subscription. That’s literally spending $102 ($17 per month) and still not owning the game and if the base game isn’t completed within those 6 months, then the cost despite not owning the game increases every month until the base game is completed.

I buy Game Pass in bulk years ahead via Gold, I ain’t paying no $17 a month lol. Game Pass is a thing I allready have and use for other games too, Starfield is “free” (My yearly GP cost for 2023 payed for itself allready in February this year).

Personally, I think the vast majority of those who want to play Starfield will buy it because they prefer to own the game, know it will take far longer than a month to complete, will want to play the expansions and with up to 5 days of early access, I believe vast majority will give in and buy the Premium Edition which is what I did and im NOT what you would call a Bethesda Game Studios fan so imagine those who are and those who are fanboys of Bethesda Game Studios. They’re not renting the game on Game Pass. They’re buying that shit and most likely already have it pre-ordered.

I have gamepass why on earth would I buy it? I literally don’t understand this. I have no concept of a ‘collection’ - since that died out for me years and years ago when I stopped buying physical games.

Gamepass games show up the same in my ‘collection’ as any other title.

No idea why I’d buy it tbh. I’ve already paid for it through gamepass.

I’ll buy the premium upgrade for sure but that’s it.

Can’t wait for the game, even though I’ll never finish it or see the end. I’m just so looking forward to just fly around and explore the world, just like I did with Elite 2 the Amiga 600

I’ve booked 2 days off work and already got my bottle of Captions Morgan Spice rum ready for the big day.

Many people don’t, I know of people who just prefer to get very few games and play them for long, and hell some don’t even buy and just play one or two f2p games and that’s it. The concept of having so many choices of games to play no matter how cheap isn’t really attractive to all people. I think a large part of the Bethesda community is closer to that, where they purchase and play it for a very long time, and in that case an outright purchase is cheaper to them than repeatedly renewing a subscription where all they’ll play is Starfield.

I’m not talking about people who don’t sub - I’m saying people who do - why on earth would you buy it?

Interesting question and I really don’t know why, but I can guess that some people like the feeling of “supporting” the games that way, some people buy the game two or three times on different platforms just to feel like supporting it that way.

While I’m not buying it, I can still understand why some hardcore BGS fans would like to have a physical copy. Personally I’ve gone all digital, I rarely ever buy physical copies, but I can understand it.

Buying the game digitally while also having Game Pass, not sure about that one either.

@Freed

This is a line of thinking I can get behind. While I personally wouldn’t bother with supporting such a big and popular game from such a big and popular developer, I’ve definitely been “guilty” of buying smaller games I adore just go support the dev. My latest example of this being the new Monkey Island, and I’ll likely end up buying Planet of Lana as well. And that’s despite completing them while playing on Game Pass.

That said, I won’t look sideways at a Game Pass subscriber who chooses to buy Starfield as a way of showing Bethesda some support.

Is the preinstall available today, as all i get is the 350mb place holder thingy.

I don’t think so, it’s still only the Amazon store listing that has stated today would be pre-load day.

[ShinMegamiTenseiX]

pre load 3 weeks early seems kind of stupid for a bethesda game. No doubt there’s going to be a huge day patch.
