This have looks fabulous to me, but there's no way I'm preordering. I don't have a lot of experience with Bethesda, but I thought the overall picture painted was a pretty gorgeous one. Hopefully they can deliver. That being said, I just started playing Fallout76 about two weeks ago, so I don't mind waiting until they work sone things out. Overall though, what they are promising looks incredible. Probably too good to be true :)

It really feels like people never learn with these pre-orders.

TFW you're broke and $70 is the norm for AAA games now. As much as I want to get this on Steam so I can have all the games in one account, it's looking like I have no choice but just play it on the XBOX game pass when it comes out. Living the PH, it's 3 USD a month here.

It's an extremely common take here that preordering a game is ridiculous! I agree. I wonder if that attitude can be correlated with whatever tendency it is to use tech like the fediverse.

No idea why you'd pre-order this. The sensible route is to get a trial of Game Pass (or a free month doing Microsoft Rewards) and try it out. If you like it, either buy it or continue with your Game Pass subscription.

$70, I guess this is the world we live in now. Can't wait for the next price hike!

I guess I'll become a PatientGamer™

The game looks promising, from what i have seen.

Few questions remain: Will it dethrone Jedi Survivor as worst performing game? Will it surpass Redfall in it's emptyness? Does it have a chance fighting LOTR Gollum in "Most 2023ish game of the year"? Or will it truly be a Masterpiece? (Hint: Masterpieces don't get released in 2023).

We will find out at release. Together with those that preorderd.

No way am I going to pre-order a game in this era of half baked releases and especially not a game from Bethesda which is as well known for their rampant bugs as their compelling gameplay

Oh come on people, can't even wait to the release date?

pre-ordering is bad mmmkay

Fellas! Why are games today so buggy! Why are they incomplete? I just don’t understand!!!!‽‽???

I don't know if they can reasonably judge the game within the 2 hours frame for refund. (Some game now do a very long shader compilation that can eat 30 minutes of your time.) The tutorial/beginning stage of the game are usually the most polished, but the latter part of the game could become very hollow.

They are going to get themselves cyberpunk'd.

When will you learn!? That your actions have consequences!

Well that's disappointing. As excited as I am, I actually recall the distant events of this year....no preordering.

It's gonna be on gamepass there is 0 reason to preorder. People be tripping

Why would anyone pre order a digital game?

the first rule of the Biscuit: do not Proeorder

I officially hate everyone who preorders digital games. There is absolutely no justification for it. If you preorder, youre the reason modern gaming sucks.

Freelancer is one of my all time favorites along with Privateer…

If only the guy who made both was doing something worthwhile.

I don't see any reason to pre-order a digital game with infinite supply, but at the same time you could always refund it if turns out terrible. Personally I'd wait awhile if not years before purchasing new games so I can get a feel for how they turned out. 2 hours is not really enough time to grasp a game like this. You would really only determine if it is incapable of running on your computer.

I found out payday 3 was announced from this post, so thanks I guess.

Preordering is bad. Preordering a Bethesda game is worse.

As hyped as I am - never preorder!

We're building a Starfield community over at !starfield@lemmy.zip if anyone wants to join.

I don't really care that people throw away their money like this. Because I am now always looking forward to the always very entertaining youtube clips of how much off a disaster the lastet AAA videogame release is.

This time it will have 64 times the details!
