    Didn’t realise it’s also out for pc for some reason. Will almost certainly pick this up. Though I prefer playing rpgs on consoles

    No quite ready to splash out on starfield, hopefully someone on her will give a decent review before I commit.

    I tried a few tricks, including turning my vpn on, changing times/dates locally on my pc, but was unable to stream Starfield from Game Pass.

    I wasn't sure but they've been clever with it and are launching it at the same time worldwide, so 1am BST, 8pm EST, 5pm PST, so 12pm Wednesday NZST.

    Anyone jump into Starfield yet then? I've literally only played 3 missions so far but it's very much giving me Fallout:Space vibes so far, which is not surprising to be honest

    5pm today. Looking forward to it and even got the evening to play it as missus is out. So a result!

    User reviews seem to be overwhelmingly positive so far, which is great.

    I've bought Metal gear v and Ace combat 7 for my Steam deck  B)

    Might sign up to game pass and stream Starfield through it, cloud gaming works really well I find but you do need a good Internet connection

    Any opinions on Starfield yet, been seeing some really terrible reviews. Want to know if its worth downloading.

    It is literally Bethesda - This time it's in Space!

    If you like their games, you'll like it, but it is built on the same remit as their other games, go to a location, kill everyone inside, loot everything, become overloaded, give all your shit to your companion, fly back to a base to store it all in, sell some of it and head back out, go to another planet and start again.

    Occasionally you actually decide to do a mission and it's hey join our faction! But first, fly between 6 planets chasing clues on notes in random bases and caves until you find what you're looking for, then fly back to us. Now you've joined us, you're basically our courier, so take this to this guy and there won't be any issues! (Every place to go to is full of people trying to kill you) 

    I don't mind the gameplay and the visuals are pretty cool, but yeah it's not life changing, I'd give it a solid 7 or 8 out 10

    I love it. I love Fallout and Skyrim though. It's not for players that aren't willing to explore. 

    I took about an hour just building a ship. A side mission can take 3-4 hours. A main mission string can last 8 hours. 

    It's not as expansive as I thought. I do really, really enjoy it though. It's a great departure from Warzone which is pretty much all I have truly focused on the last 3 years.

    I think it's an alright game, but I am bitterly disappointed by the space travel. There's too many menus, especially coming from a game like No Man's Sky where you seamlessly land

    Yeah but No Mans Sky has taken years to get to where it is now. 

    A few updates, some mods here and there and the game will benefit hugely. 

    I found No Mans Sky a bit boring as there wasn't enough going on. I'd say for me, the balance is a bit better here. I am however really pissed off at the lack of main character voice acting.

    I agree, the space travel is just... loading screens. The space combat is quite fun especially the targetting etc to disable engines etc, but there's nothing like in no mans sky with seamlessly taking off and going into space and flying round the planet etc which you can't do in starfield. It feels very formulaic in it's gameplay like that. Also damn, need some city maps too.

    Basically, skyrim still remains bethesda's magnum opus.

    Damn Starfield is such a timesink, played it almost constant from 11-6 today (rare day off) and looking back in that time I only completed one main mission and fully scanned 2 moons of one planet

    Little tip. 

    You can land anywhere on a planet not just on the markers.

    Another tip, misc items are completely useless and you never get anywhere near the "value" price for them from vendors

    Yesterday, I got stuck on Akila, i only wanted to finish one side quest. I think game play would be greatly improved with city maps.

    Miscellaneous items... they're a mugs game.

    Regarding Starfield, I keep hearing "it gets really good after the first 30 hours", and Im thinking bloody hell, I could finish three or four other games in that amount of time.

    It's the size of the game that makes it better than many. Really recommend it.
