@tallythwack Got mine by doing the Freestar Collective mission chain, you come across them in the story and can join them, once you finish all the missions for them you get rewarded the Star Eagle a very good ship.

Some advice for new players look into getting a new ship early on because the starter one is really bad. Also turn off film grain, depth of field and motion blur as they really hinder the visuals.

@Dsswoosh 🙄 Provide hard evidence to support these claims.

This site is an independent site like PQ and NL as far as know, if MS had any hand in the site we would have starfield review by now on here 🙄

@BrilliantBill The $30 is paying for the expansion and a skin pack, the early access is just a nice bonus.

@Dsswoosh Or they have different opinions. This idea of reviews being paid off is so stupid and there's never any credible evidence of it happening, its just fanboys who need to touch grass getting upset their favourite new game isn't getting pointless scores out of 10.

@Darylb88 Yeah the 30fps in this and Forza 5 are pretty fantastic so good in fact i barely notice it.

Yeah even on Series S it looks pretty fantastic. I was worried SS versions would see big cutbacks but other then gore seeing a big downgrade (going by comments i've read) the SS version has only really seen minor downgrades. Can't wait to play this on the Series X though when i get one hopefully very soon.

Everspace 2 and Texas Chainsaw for me.

I don't think its a bad game but its not a very good one either. They could add a flawless 60fps with RT included and remove every single bug but the core design issues are still there, FO76 got "good" because they leaned more into making it like FO3/NV with the updates but Redfall can't be transformed like that.

@Cashews I'm talking about the proper mods that are on Xbox versions not the creation club stuff. Skyrim and Fallout 4 have full mod support on Xbox and limited mod support on PS4/PS5 (thanks to Sony's restrictions).

Really loving it though its very early on still, just done a big side mission chain on Mars what was great. Have issues though like the terrible UI, awkward space combat and too much loading. I can't see this beating TotK as my GOTY but i can see it easily making my top 5.

@Cashews Sounds like what they offered for Fallout 4 and Skyrim what was pretty great.

@Jey887 Yeah its a slow start with not much freedom but once it opens up after around 2-3 hours it turns into the game we all wanted it to be. Do i have some minor issues though like a terrible UI (clearly made for PC) but yeah over all i'm enjoying it, currently exploring the Earth's Moon right now.

Put around 3 hours in and other some dips in the city area its been pretty much flawless.

@lacerz Looks like you're just cherry picking the more negatives stances. At least balance it out with quotes from Forbes and Destructoid or something who loved it.

@Wingman709 I mean reviews are opinions not facts, IGN is IGN as usual but its their opinion just like its Destructoid's opinion its a 10.

@Kaloudz Just watched Digital Foundry's video and yeah its pretty stable and bug free. MS was clearly the best thing to happen for the game.

@Snake_V5 Most PS exclusives are not 95%+.

@Snake_V5 Yeah a 87% average on MC so far is mediocre 🙄

Never change IGN haha. Sounds fantastic and the next 6 hours or so will be long 😅

Shame as i would have liked to have seen your review prior to tonight's launch.

I plan on staying awake for the 1am launch, play for 3-4 hours, get some sleep and then play all day tomorrow and the weekend.

The open world parts of Gear 5 were my least favourite parts so no not really.

@Moonglow I mean Sea of Thieves is a live service game designed to be played for the long run while the other games you listed are one and done, also there's a good chance many played them on PS meaning they never bothered to play them on Steam. I'm willing to bet though Sea of Thieves doesn't come anywhere close to Spider-Man's sales.

As for day 1 games well here's the thing many people myself included like owning games and its why i paid £100 for Starfield despite being a GP member. Of course PS fanboys downplay the day 1 releases but i'm sure many just don't have interest in "renting" games.

@ApostateMage To be fair you're also getting the upcoming expansion as part of that as well.

@Sol4ris The game has been out for years and already made its money, this is just so the Xbox has the same version as PS5 finally.

@Dusk_Actual PQ are obsessed with 7's at the moment.

My first AC game and i've been loving it. The scale of the missions can be insane and the bosses are easily up there with From's best.

Pretty scummy move to be honest.

@Moonglow Well the maps in Starfields are most likely not big enough to warrant vehicles, a reason Fallout lacked any sort of vehicle or mount was due to how small the maps actually were. NMS has them because you explore the entire planet something you can't do in Starfield.

I expect there's a lot of contracts already in place and deals made causing this. That said i expect Diablo 4 and a premium version of OW2 will be on it within a year.

MS lucked out by having Starfield next month because it would have been a huge blow losing Baldur's Gate 3. I shell be getting it on PS5 but i hope Xbox gets it sooner rather then later and the issues are resolved.

With games like Starfield, BG3, Avatar and Spider-Man 2 it also feels like we really starting to leave last gen behind as well.

Can't wait to try it later.

@JaffeGaffe 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Really hate when other Devs attack and put dowm other Devs, its rude, not really helpful and not being supportive. As Pete says this style has been the style in all their games from Oblivion to Fallout 3 to Skyrim and even Fallout 76.

PS5 for me and i'm very excited as its my first AC game.

@Fenbops Its damn if you do damn if you don't with GTA 6 although GTA 6 will be the best selling game ever so does it even matter for R* if they cause another uproar.

@darkswabber I forget that even exists haha

Red Dead 2 is R*'s best game but i prefer GTA overall.

@BAMozzy I criticise Phil talking bull as usual. It was only weeks ago he proudly said MS believes in preservation yet again. Maybe if he kept his mouth shut and stopped with the PR bull he always does i wouldn't be so harsh. As i said i'm pretty sure he made a dig at Sony doing this exact thing a couple of years back.

@Cashews No Sony planned on doing what MS are doing, you can still download past purchases and get patches you just can't buy stuff.

@BAMozzy I agree its not up to MS but then why has Phil been going on about it for years then? Didn't Phil make a dig on Twitter when Sony were planning on shutting the PS3 store? Wanna know what really annoyed me the other night? I really fancied playing the 360 game Fuel as lately i've been playing a lot of The Crew 2 and Forza 5 and i fancied playing an old fav of mine that's kinda like that, went to buy it on the store and found that while it can be played on Series consoles its delisted on the store and well i own a SS. Doing some digging and its amazing how many Xbox/360 games are delisted and are going to be dislisted, BC on a SS one day for a brand new owner will be something they can barely use because only a handful of games will be on the store to buy. MS need to start actually doing what they say, i get licencing gets in the way but that doesn't why a couple month backs a bunch of Splinter Cell games were removed (thankfully i bought every entry early this year when they were on sale) or The Orange Box. I refuse to believe MS can't find a way to keep at least some of these games from being removed forever.

I guess MS doesn't believe in video game preservation after all 😕

@Markatron84 I would rather go against MW3 then the combined might of Spidey, Mario and Assassin's Creed.

@NEStalgia Can buy FF13 and its two sequels on Series consoles as i recently bought them on my SS.

Should delay until November as Spider-Man, Mario and Assassin's Creed are going to greatly overshadow it

Got it downloading right now. Moving my X1 and 360 games to a External HDD earlier this month was a wise move.

@Fiendish-Beaver I mean BG3 just released and Starfield has yet to come out, hard to talk about something when nearly everything about it has yet to be seen and played.

@AlwaysPlaying Redfall was no where near as bad as Cyberpunk's launch and Gollum is at best a AA game no one was hyped for and everyone knew would suck from the off and especially leading up to it.
