Cough...tune into Gamescom...cough

They can't announce a console two weeks before launch can they?

But damn, I hope they do and that I get one!

Do we have any gameplay videos besides those released by Bethesda? I searched YouTube and there was none.

What more do you need besides 1hr of gameplay

It's nothing compared to the Doom deck, unfortunately.

Most of them was just a little here, a little there gameplay released by Bethesda, why don't they release a 1 hour of continuous gameplay?

Why would they

If after the 45min direct you havent seen enough I dont know what to tell ya

So they can show their loyal fans how well the game runs the Xboxes and various pc configurations. You know people spend hundred of dollars and even buy new consoles for this game. All they did was showing half ass gameplays and developers in the background telling you "amazing things" you can do in the game.

so if they show you one hour gameplay, it automagically shows you how it runs on ‘various PC configurations’? You think they’ll run a test bench with 10 GPUs and CPUs?

People will be playing it early release. Anyone who is on the fence can wait for impressions from that before spending any money.

 

[draliko]

i bought a 7900xt for this game... now we wait... and hope for the best doesn't matter how it goes, we were here when it happened

Theres reviews for a reason little one.

Does the Steam version not have the early access if you buy the season pass?

After cyberpunk, we should learn that when a company behave this way, it won't be pretty for people who got in early. That's what I am saying.

The premium version does include early access.

lol.....it is always funny seeing folks on twitter getting triggered over the littlest things.

At this point I am scared to read comments on a Starfield Tweet

 

[RJMacready73]

Has there been any previews or actual hands on with this game? I haven't seen anything other than Bethesda B Rolls, for such a massively hyped game i would've expected to see a lot more demos

 

[splattered]

Which comments do you have a problem with? If it's about IGN conveniently leaving out "Xbox" from the headline then I don't necessarily disagree with them. It would be like if Spiderman 2 came out on PC same day and IGNorant stated "Some players can preload Spiderman w as early as tomorrow" ... Clickbaity garbage

 

[Ozriel]

“Behave this way” by not releasing 1 hour long gameplay videos 2 weeks to launch, or benchmarking their game across tens of PC combinations?

How many AAA games post Cyberpunk have done this?

Feel free to sit the launch out, if you want. If you plan to buy this game day one, you’ll have impressions from over a million people playing on early release.

It is somewhat clickbaity, I'll give you that, since they want you to click the link and find out who "some" is referring to. Fairly typical news outlet stuff. But most are not complaining about it being clickbait. They are complaining because of this notion that IGN won't say "Xbox". That's just paranoid twitter nonsense.

Twitter Xbox folks have long said IGN is biased against Xbox, that's nothing new. Hell wasn't there a recent IGN editor that posted an article trashing MS/Xbox over the Activision acquisition? I'm getting old maybe remembering wrong I dunno haha

I was afraid to venture into the comments afraid of potential major spoilers which I saw one (which I hope he just made up) watching a guy stream World of Tanks last night

Reviewers will soon or have the game already, so you'll have plenty to go on before launch. Let's be honest the game looks phenomenal and will almost certainly be in the discussion for GOTY, I prefer to go in knowing as little as possible.

Yeah, but if the basis of calling IGN "biased against Xbox" by these Twitter Xbox folks is stuff like a clickbait tweet then it obviously doesn't take much for them to call anything biased. This is the same IGN that employs Ryan McCaffrey and Destin Legarie who actively promote Xbox as much as any journalist promotes any platform. This is just twitter being twitter.

 

[knguyen]

I prefer to go in knowing as little as possible.

And that's what Bethesda want regarding people's knowledge into this games performance. Maximum the preorder number and the numbers of gamepass subs are all they care about ATM.

How is that different than any other game? We don't get performance analysis from anyone until after the game is released.

 

[Morrie’s wig shop]

Your gonna have to start naming the games that have done this before release.

It’d be nice if that was the case. It’s just not feasible to expect an analysis of 10 different configurations before the game releases.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Looks to be downloading now

In a world where they employ Ryan McCaffrey and Destin who get most of their (IGN) limelight and a pretty much an extension of MS PR on social media... what the fuck crack are they smoking?

 

[balls of snow]

I deleted all those gamepass games I wont play. Gimme that install Bethesda.

 

[Topher]

Still waiting on my Steam key from green man gaming....

 

[BobbyColtrane]

I've only bought a couple of games on Windows Store but am considering it because we also have a Series X.

Are games purchased through Windows able to be modded as easily as Steam versions? Thanks for any info you can provide.

No. Steam is the way to go since they will have mods that get into the .exe files that goes beyond nexus modding and the like.

Nope. I'm using xbox app for my main vanilla playthrough of the main game and dlcs. My steam copy will be saved for crazy mods.

 

[Xcell Miguel]

Yep, it's downloading (122 GB), the Artbook and Soundtrack too (15GB).

Look like it only downloads the local language files + English to make it smaller.
EDIT : no Nvidia DLLs
EDIT2 : Artbook and Soundtrack is a Unity app, it contains the Soundtrack in MP3 format, 753 MB for 79 files (titles are visible on file names). Nothing is readable yet of course.
EDIT3 : there may be some spoilery file names in the .bnk movies folder

 

[Hugare]

Playing a Bethesda game of this size for ~ $6 dollars (local currency) at launch is nuts

Thanks Phill

Will wait a little longer to download it. Will try to finish BG 3 so I can clear space.

 

[DarkMage619]

 

[Stafford]

 

[prinz_valium]

It's just a single player game. Do I take some days off or not?

 

[Represent.]

Bought my Series X 2 years ago and this will be the first time I turn it on since. I pray this game lives up to the hype. I fucking loved Skyrim. This needs to recapture that magic.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Can’t wait to see the reviews, hopefully there are some that aren’t half assed to meet an embargo date

 

[Xcell Miguel]

Preload is 106 GB on Series X (French, may vary for other languages).

 

[Stafford]

Wonder if between now and embargo we see some reports here and there telling how they are liking it, would surprise me if not a soul "leaks" anything in terms of impressions.

 

[Buggy Loop]

There’s physical copies right? Gonna leak all over when game stores receive them, like always..

I’m just crossing my fingers they don’t fuck up the PC port.

I’m not even finished with act 1 of BG3… and I have Armored Core 6 also preordered, I’m fucked

 

[SJRB]

O my god that tidal wave of tweets from "journalists" and other cunts posting that they're playing Starfield right now, what the hell.

"Hmmm ooops sorry can't say anything but I am playing Starfield right now, tee hee"

Fuck you.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Two weeks of playtime and a review embargo of 31st a week before official launch day....

Confidence!

This things gonna be bonkers!

Boooooom!

 

[MMaRsu]

After cyberpunk, we should learn that when a company behave this way, it won't be pretty for people who got in early. That's what I am saying.

How old are you? Just asking in case you dont remember how Fallout 4, and Skyrim were prerelease.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I have a feeling this won't be a Cyberpunk situation.

They delayed it a year to get to where we are now. This is going to be good !!

Bru stop trollin its getting obvious now and also pathetic.
