WTF?! The game is not even released on steam yet? Are they cracking the preloaded version?

[–] adaveinthelife@lemmy.ca 60 points 1 year ago (3 children)

AFAIK the digital deluxe edition allows you to start playing 5 days early.

There is no "play 5 days early". The game launched on 1st of September. But those who can't afford to shell out 100 Euros have to wait 5 more days. Microsoft did the same bullshit with Forza. I didn't like it back then, I won't like it now.

Why would you want to play a Bethesda game 5 days early? The best time is several months after release, when the community has had time to fix the bugs.

Can confirm. Started playing this morning.

What’s your opinion so far?

[–] wheresmypillow@lemmy.one 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Skyrim in space. Exactly what I was hoping it would be.

Except when I stole some dude's sandwich, instead of being arrested he just said "Hey that's my sandwich!" And then sighed, defeated

Definitely a better experience already than Skyrim

Are there any small pets or chickens for you to murder and get a massive bounty on your head?

I was playing it last night on steam. I needed a new GPU recently and it came with a code to download it. 🤷‍♂️

For me, I got a Framework 16 and the GPU module came with a code.

There was a 5 day early access, at least on gamepass.

[–] ScoobyDoo27@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have gamepass ultimate and it says I can’t play till the 6th

[–] HiT3k@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have to buy deluxe. Timed exclusive bullshit.

[–] TechnoBabble@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you keep the game if you get the "Deluxe Upgrade" on GamePass? Or do you have to keep paying the subscription if you want to play?

[–] HiT3k@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

No, not sure how they handle it. I think the upgrade applies to either a purchased version or Game Pass version, but if you don't buy or sub, you wasted $35
