      Don’t forget to save some cash for the XE, YE, ZE editions that will come out every three years and woo the modding community.

      It sounds like this one doesn’t really need patches to be fun, it is in a pretty polished state on day 1. Which is weird for a Bethesda game.

    Glad to see the reviews are coming in mostly positive, I’ve been looking forward to this game.

    “Buy, wait, never touch”

    Cool, they’re describing most of my game library

    The Escapist preview essentially confirmed my fears - I guess I’ll patiently wait for TES IV.

        I love handcrafted world of skyrim. Escapist preview essentially mentioned that a lot of the starfield world is barren procedural-like planets. I would love an exploration game. I’m not sure I want a game with bazillion planets each of which has essentially same outpost (from design perspective). Granted, I might be wring, I keep watching reviews and opinions, but at this point, the game is not instabuy, more like wait for a sale - if it kept its hype.

          That’s fair, but also, the fact that it has procedural generation should not be a surprise to anyone at this point, they were very open about it.

          I’m just hoping there’s an easy way to distinguish in game between the procedural stuff that’s not worth exploring and the stuff that is. I’m hoping it can be safely ignored, but it WILL be annoying if they hide really interesting questlines on otherwise barren planets.

            It’s not that I’m surprised. Personally, it’s that I felt the procedurally generated content in Skyrim and Fallout 4 was their weakest aspect. The quality, hand crafted content is why I enjoy their games.

            I’ve been skeptical of this one since they announced the whole 1000 planets thing. I’m checking up on reviews and waiting for the general public to get their hands on it cause I just don’t really trust that they can make quality procedurally generated content.

    This looks exactly like the tepid diarrhea I expected for 200 million dollars from 500 developers. It’s a miracle how everything MS touches becomes tainted, if someone told me that Arcane would be offering Redfall, I’d have refused to believe it.

    I fucking hate that they bought out one of my favorite devs and refuse to share. Fuck Microsoft, I’m even less inclined to buy their trash now.

      Oh shut up, it’s releasing day one on Steam. Show me a first party game that is also releasing on a different marketplace on Day 1. Quit crying. It’s not like they are forcing you to buy an Xbox.

      Or shit if you really wanted you could even just buy a month of gamepass and stream it to your TV/phone.
