you could get the game on game pass for like 8 and buy the premium upgrade for 32. This in pounds but im sure the usa version will be similar anyway

Not paying a subscription for game pass. So that's out.

even though it works out way cheaper and if you play atleast one other game on it that year its worth it all day, I typically dont play games again once im done with em first time round, Certain things are excluded ofc depending on the game, I do get you though, I only really do it with games im not that fussed for, For example Forza motorsport is on game pass day 1, Il 100% be buying the ultimate edition and not using the game pass version, so half of me gets you lol!

My level of gaming these days makes it cheaper in the long run to pay full price for a game than a subscription to game pass.

Just (pre)ordered Starfield on Steam, hopes it will run smooth to. Like the games do sofar on W11.

Are you still planning on getting Starfield. I'm starting to get an itch for it now and may end up getting it upon release.

The hundred-dollar (99.99) option looks like it includes a future DLC release. If so, I'll just stick to the $70 dollar option and wait get the DLC when it releases. Here's the premium edition inclusions...

Shattered Space Story Expansion

5 days early access

Constellation Skin Pack: Equinox Laser Rifle, Spacesuit, Helmet and Boost Pack

Access to Starfield Digital Artbook & Original Soundtrack

Don't care about extra skin packs. Don't need early access. Soundtrack sounds alluring, though everyone I've gotten with other games, I've not played. Meh on the artbook - just like the soundtracks, I never use. Expansion story sounds nice, and I'll get it if I like the game, but I'll wait until it's actually released.

So that's my justification for not buying into the premium release. The main reason though... I can't afford a hundred-dollar game. Can barely afford $70

I get it free to play via XBox Game Pass ultimate so I'm gonna play it first and see what it is like. Allows me to delay he the buy and have no buyers remorse.

First impression of Starfield, the graphics and environmental details look great and the gameplay is a nice mix of action, exploring, collecting, flying etc.

A versatile game and a welcome addition to our game collection for the coming winter.

And absolutely worth the money.

“Its not out yet”

Not for everyone, yes. But for early adapters it is.

Yeah, if you paid early, you got early access. I almost got it early but decided to wait.

Same thing when I pre-ordered Diablo IV, I was playing it early.

A lot of big games like doing that these days.

Firas · Sep 2, 2023

I have been relentlessly searching for the game ever since you guys started talking about it.
Lately, I've found myself dedicating a significant amount of time to watching this game on YouTube.
It's no surprise that this game is amazing, given Bethesda's reputation as the best.

And the fact that it is very, very late.

from 2021:

Starfield Guide: Everything We Know So Far

Starfield remains almost as mysterious as the stars in our real world. However, from possible factions to leaked gameplay, here's what we know so far.

www.thegamer.com

It's been a game a lot of people (including me) have been waiting for a very, very long time for. And the delays were not just Pandemic related, either....

Dru2 · Sep 2, 2023

I just hope it lives up to the hype, especially after the delays. What is telling is talk already of a planned "future" DLC release. That says to me, things were cut in order to get the game out after many delays.

Timaximus · Sep 2, 2023

For what we have seen and played sofar it is worth the wating. The game seems worked out quiet well.

Better late then a game with a lot of bugs in it.

The first DLC is included in our edition.

Same as Doom Eternal in the past, bought the collections edition with the helmet for my son. 2 DLC included in that edition.

What's the name of the DLC? And how it is included in your edition when they say it's a "future" release???

Starfield Shattered Space DLC

As part of the premium editions of the Bethesda game, a Starfield DLC has already been revealed, entitled Shattered Space, and here’s what we know of it so far.

www.pcgamesn.com

Timaximus · Sep 2, 2023

When the DLC is out we will get it via steam, we already payed for it.

Same as Doom Eternal in the past with the collectors edition.

Dru2 · Sep 2, 2023

Any Steam users here? I have an issue where Steam simply refuses to start when the PC starts, despite the fact that that feature is enabled.

Anyone else?

Timaximus · Sep 2, 2023

Funny, i just disabled all my 3 game launchers starting up with Windows. But i can look for you trying enabling it?

Update (19:03): it works overhere!
