Starfield’s numbers have swollen in early access on streaming and gaming platforms - and the global release is yet to take place.

    Shame. If people keep paying for “head start”, companies will keep selling them and making bank off FOMO.

    On the plus side, plenty of guides getting created so I can start tomorrow without fear of fucking up my first character too badly.

        You used to be able to literally brick your build (get to a point where it’s impossible to progress any further) in Bethesda games. I’m sure that’s changed now, but that paranoia lingers.

        RPGs almost always need a little hint on what’s actually useful, this game doesn’t have respecting AFAIK and is obviously quite long.

      I haven’t bought a triple a game on release in ten or fifteen years. For this one enough of my friends were already playing it for several days by the time I got it that it’s hard to see it as “early” (certainly not patient, either, but it’s fun to cheat on a diet now and then). And I’m really not finding it buggy particularly, no more than any non-aaa title would be shortly after launch. I hate to be overly kind to Bethesda but it’s really not worth the hate the net is leveling at it
