I always find something like this a strange tactic. Exactly what percentage of people buying this game have both consoles? It is not exactly a system seller either so if Sony fronted the cash for skins, why? This isn't COD, or NBA/FIFA where folks by brands to play with friends I'm going to just play it on whatever system DF says it runs best on, which can be a weird disparity at times
@NEStalgia I actually think it's great for those patient enough not to preorder. The game is in regular hands, you get a better idea of the games playable state. I'll be getting this regular day one as long as those testing it are not upset with it.
I don't know why, it just feels and looks like an afterthought for Obsidian. I just can't shake the feeling this was either rushed, or not high on their list of priorities
I am really really bummed out with the Avowed reveal, I loved Outerworlds, so much so I was stupid enough to buy the "upgrade". This looks like a reskinned version of that, even the melee looks like it was slammed into the engine, it doesn't look good. The use of " companions" sounds again exactly like Outerworlds despite their "importance".
I think they said a lot of similar things regarding "depth vs scope"about Outerworlds too, ya........
@Dan1283 I don't visit as much as I do Nintendo Life and Pushsquare, so I wasn't aware he was a diehard. I thought it was an okay showing, better than PS for sure, but still disappointed a bit.
@Zoidpilot4 Weirdos? I bought a series X to play Microsoft big hitters, same reason I have a PS5 a switch and a steam deck, to enjoy those systems for what THEY deliver. . Being let down by Halo, Redfall and waiting and waiting and waiting for MS to deliver is beyond frustrating. Seeing vague no dates, and almost no gameplay was frustrating. Don't get me wrong, the trailers worked as I'm stoked, but also ticked off. Starfield looks glorious, and Avowed looked cookie cutter bland.
2024, 2024, 2024, no date no date...... that was discouraging Starfield looks like every bit the reason big reason I bought my X. Fable could be great, still have no idea.
My biggest letdown was Avowed, it didn't look all that great, the visuals, the animations just looked cheap and shallow
@Zoidpilot4 "guess it's good it did because I got my PS5 and I love it, but Xbox is my main console, but it is feeling a bit....like a lie, if that make sense."
It does, that's actually a wonderful way to describe it. I'm a playstation guy 1st, but I was over the moon when I snagged a Series X. I couldn't wait to play Halo Infinite.... it wasn't bad, but hugely underwhelming. No biggie, because there are some great games coming.... okay well eventually.....Redfall( I'm a FarCry junkie) sounds like a blast and........ I figured at least 3rd party will run better, beefier system right? Wait what the heck?
I actually unplugged it after the Redfall mess, I'm extremely bummed out
One has to wonder that because so many are looking at Starfield as THE singular title to reestablish Microsofts brand /if it even stands a chance of fair and even reviews.
I'm not remotely a team green die hard, but it felt like a lot of Redfall reviews were impacted by the idea of it being that bridge to Starfield, and so it wasn't just a broken game " it was a horribly broken game"
I would love to have this, but the steam deck is already a great piece of kit and I love the thing- except trying to run nexus mods/Pripyat mods, is hilariously beyond me- There is also the whole you can only play one system at a time problem. I really love my Series X, PS5 too. Still debating "borrowing" the kids switch for Tears of the Kingdom
Holy WOW, we have never had it so good as gamers.
If Starfield knocks it out of the park, I may just not leave the house for a year
I really hope this turns out decent, well at least once they patch in 60 anyways.
I was crazy excited as a gamer once I snagged an X and a PS5 during the first year of release, but as time goes on, with largely just okay stuff from Microsoft I'm becoming a tad disenfranchised with my X.
If this turns out to be not all that good, and Starfield disappoints( I'm actually a tad worried about it) I might simply just box it up.

Ghost was an amazing game, until I unlocked the 2nd map and just felt it was too much and stopped
One day maybe

I think I clicked replay 5 times, couldn't figure out what I was missing...... .
Ah.... some squiggly lines
Taking a lot of will power not to order the controller though, really good looking
