Are you buying, GP "renting" or skipping Starfield?

Certainly GP and if I like it I’ll buy it. Seems like the type of game that would be cheaper to buy than pay for gp during the months it would take to play.

Buy it once modders fix it.

Gamepass

How is it broken?🤔

Bought

That's what i was thinking. Especially on pc, knowing that some mods will take a while to come out, and if you want to try them, its just better to buy the game.

I’m currently a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber and don’t seeing that changing anytime soon with all these great games hitting the service so that is where I’ll be playing Starfield when it launches.

Buying, not much faith on mods with xbox app version

Game Pass initially, though if I like it, I'll buy it on Steam or GoG at some point when it's <$30.

Game Pass is fine as far as vanilla games and trying out stuff I'm curious about, but if Starfield is anything remotely like Skyrim or Oblivion or Fallout NV/4, I'm going to want to modify it and that means having it on Steam.

Yeah, Game Pass has been amazing.

Biggest problem is I don't have time to play it all haha.

@mrbojangles25: Yeah, the age old problem of too many games and too little time. 😅

definitely GP. this game will move some subs for MS on there I imagine

@Pedro: All of Todd's games release with a litany of bugs and stability issues that never get addressed with patches. So I'll wait for bug and stability mods as per usual with his games. Shouldn't take long, Bethesda RPG's have the most robust modding community.

Buy yes, but not directly from Microsoft on PC.

Since I'm primarily a PC gamer I'll try it on Game Pass when it comes out. But, when it comes to buying it, I'll get it from Steam. Even though the GP version will probably have a discount.

The reason is simple, the GP version will likely be the same as most of all the other GP games on PC. Meaning it will be encrypted and locked in the XboxGames folder. You can forget backing it up for easier installation later or running mods from Nexus on the GP version or even the purchased version available on the Xbox App.

The Xbox App is pretty terrible for stuff like that. Unless that changes in the future, forget it. Steam only.

Skip for now. Busy with Zelda, and after that I was thinking of playing System Shock and some multiplayer games. Still don't think Starfield looks very good, but I might try it at some point.

renting.

the other world. i started playing it a while ago. fun game. but when it was drop onto gp i hit a game breaken bug that took 2 years to patch... i am finale playing it again. so those type of issue with a game. get a instant gp usage. compare to buying it.

GP renting.

I realized a long, long time ago that Bethesda games just aren't for me.

I bought Morrowind, Oblivion, New Vegas new. Played none of them more than 6 hours. Their style and gameplay experience just doesn't work for me at all.

I'll definitely try it because sci-fi / space themes. I love Elite: Dangerous and was a Kickstarter backer for Star Citizen. It's my favorite type of game (where dystopian futures or mideval pasts are not). So maybe Starfield will get traction with me where their past projects could not.

Shit my poll needed a 4th option for Ghost, and you know what option that is🤡

Game Pass..

If I play it, it will be bought.

I'm buying it on Steam even though I have GP because I want to play with more than the "approved" mods.

Game Pass games have terrible community mod support.

Which is why I'm also buying it on Steam and I really don't use Game Pass like that anyway as I personally still like to buy my games on PC.

Are you sure about that?

Is Starfield an always online game?

Where is the I'm a cow,I'll be watching it on YouTube option?

No, it's single player. It's not a Fallout 76.

Ghost won't be happy about this revelation.

Well, it'll be broken for a while, so I'll wait. When it's fixed, I'll buy it.

Who in the hell rents a game like this.

Buying on PC and Game Pass for Xbox version.

30fps is GARBAGE
Bethesda Games Studio is a GARBAGE developer

Buy. Will likely be cheaper in the long run for me personally.

Buying but not on launch day. I'll give it some time to get patched and such like. I may make a start into CP2077 in the meantime.

Looks good though.

Buying. Just not at launch; will wait for a few patches and some mods before jumping in.

It's a BGS game. Birds fly, sun rises, and BGS games launch with a bazillion bugs.

Phil did say it's the most polished Bethesda game ever.

GP if it ends up being great, buy it on a sale down the road.

If that's the case, then the X is incredibly underpowered. Fake 12tflops.

Game Pass for me.

@hardwenzen: You must have mixed the part where Todd said they had it running at 60fps on the X but decided to keep lock 30fps to have the best quality.

That makes 0 sense, just have a performance and quality mode and let people choose how they want to play. Sounds like Todd is lying again.

@fedor: Todd dont want you to choose gimmicks. He wants you to enjoy his vision, not some basement dwelling 400 pound PC gamer who paid 7k to get a few extra fps. Todd said them clowns need to go play Diablo and cry more.

It's definitely a buy for me.

Nintendo would cease to exist without 400 pound basement dwellers, you should show some respect.

Mods are a good incentive for buying.

I also wonder if certain mods will be possible on UWP. Like the script extenders, which are pretty essential.

I'll be playing it through Gamepass. Depending how good it is I might buy it later.

I will be renting it on Gamepass. After the showcase I lost interest for the game, down the road i will play it

Buying the GOTY edition in a couple of years time with all DLC included and no doubt at a reduced price.

I don't know. I'd play it safe and buy it on Steam if possible.

Buy it on PC because mods

Ill be skipping on xbox because 30fps and no mods is a 100 percent no go for me. PC ill probably buy for mods
