So, I was wanting to get the 'premium' edition and get the game on the 31st. But wanting to wait for reviews first. Has there been a date for review embargos? As long as they are before the 30th that would give me time to buy and install. I know the codes are going out this week but curious about when the reviews drop.

 

[amigastar]

I want to know also, very curious about the reviews.

 

[Mephisto40]

I'm hoping they will have at least a video showing the performance on release day, so we can tell if it's actually worth paying the extra £30 to play it 5 days early on a series s if that's the xbox we own

I wouldnt expect reviews until at least a week after the early access date

 

[BouncyFrag]

Review thread will be going to the mattresses.

 

[Ammogeddon]

Some outlets are suggesting the embargo will lifted in line with the early access date 31/8 - 01/9

"Starfield: A Beautiful Disaster - 6/10"

"Starfield: Todd Fucking Did It! - 10/10"

 

[Chuck Berry]

"Starfield: A Beautiful Disaster - 6/10"

"Starfield: Todd Fucking Did It! - 10/10"

So in other words, like every other AAA review

 

[R6Rider]

You're willing to shell out an extra $30-40 to play a few days early, but also care about reviews that much?

If it reviews badly are you just going to get it on Sept. 6th or are you going to skip it altogether?

 

[Lokaum D+]

since is a Bethesda game, it ll review well even if the game is a broken mess, the game ll just bomb if it has Fallout 76 level of bugs and problems.

 

[Freeman76]

This is one game i dont need reviews for. Can already see from the deep dive this is a once a decade thing

 

[cireza]

Play the game and make your own opinion ?

 

[AJUMP23]

I hope you do a review after your play through OP.

 

[Agent_Nobody]

With Skyrim and Fallout 4 it was the day before release. So with Starfield it will probably be the day before early access starts.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Wooo! Shots fired!

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Dumb thread title

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Eh, if you're not sure if you're going to like it by now, save your money.

 

[Jibran#one]

if Ur willing to pay this much for a few day early access do reviews matter if Ur unsure just sub gp for a month or 14 day trial

Just so I'm understanding this correctly:

You know there is a review embargo
You're here, so you know how to google
Instead of googling "starfield review embargo" to get your answer, you made a misleading thread title to type more than your google search would have needed but with much less success

I hope no one gives you the answer as punishment for this stupidness. I've already googled it, but I'm not going to share my findings with you.

If it reviews well I'm actually going to fork out $99 outright to get the whole game and extras....and get on the 31st. If it reviews bad I may just pay for a month of Gamepass (don't currently have it) and try it out on the 6th. Then if I like, it I can buy it after the month.

Ok....begone with you then.

So in other words, like every other AAA review

But it translate to a s game that everyone plays, I despise this attitude, everyone play for a reason.

Like Fallout 76?

I’ve noticed that’s not too popular here. Odd.

Ultimate pettiness. Love it

"Starfield: A Beautiful Disaster - 6/10"

"Starfield: Todd Fucking Did It! - 10/10"

And guess which review will be focused on more.

 

[Freeman76]

Like Fallout 76?

Nice try

 

[Danjin44]

I would say there is enough footage and trailer to determine if you gonna enjoy this game or not. Also this Bethesda game, if you played their pervious game you what you are gettign yourself in to.

Dumb way to buy games.
You should at least have an idea whether it is considered good by the general community. Otherwise you'll be spending money on crap like Redfall.

 

[RPS37]

I’m willing to bet 30 it’s as dope as it looks.
I still would love some early Buyer’s Satisfaction

Best way to buy games as far as I am concerned. People have forgotten the experience of discovering a game without any prior knowledge about. I still remember the days I bought Landstalker, Shining Force and Phantasy Star solely based on their covers.

When I buy something, I don't care what others people think. I don't want reviews that spoil everything. I don't want to already know most of the content because I was spoiled. Go blind, take your time and make your own judgment. Or maybe that the idea of enjoying a game a majority of people did not is unbearable ?

 

[Ronin_7]

I've heard September 1st alongside the official release apparently.

 

[Gen.Grievous]

Eh, if you're not sure if you're going to like it by now, save your money.

I feel dirty saying it but you can trial gamepass for a buck instead of spending 70 bucks if you're on the fence.
