I wish we would stop with these ‘premium editions and collectors editions’
Like yeah maybe have an edition with a cool collectors item for those who want it. But I (and I’m gonna sound ancient here) I remember when you bought a game, that was it. The complete package, no DLC’s, fairly bug-free and felt like complete experiences.
I cannot see a way how this collector’s edition would be worth it. Even if they throw in all future DLC and physical goodies like your very own collection of multiple starship models, it’d be a tough sell to me.
Physical goodies of Fallout 4 quality? No thanks. I’ll wait for sales of the basic edition.
Even better if it’s physical goodies of Fallout 76 quality.
I’ll try this on gamepass when it launches, don’t have any hype for it really.

While I don’t have a lot of faith in how this game will turn out, I’m excited to try it anyway. We need new IPs, and hopefully the game will age well like other Bethesda games
Cries in poor…
And that’s a lot of money for what we all know is gonna be a broken game, Todd.
Consider tears of the kingdom. No freakin comparison
“See a planet? You can actually go to that planet and walk on it.”
I mean, Mario galaxy already had that part figured out… :P
And no mans sky
And elite dangerous
But hey whose counting
$70 USD to play an open world Bethesda game on launch day is a joke. There’s no other way to describe it. It’s laughable that Microsoft and Bethesda think anyone should be paying that much money to beta test the buggy, unstable, maybe even unfinished version of Starfield we’re likely getting in September. You’ll be paying the most money for the worst version of the game, period. And this is coming from someone who bought Skyrim on launch day in 2011.
Even if Starfield is better than expected, and surprisingly playable on launch day, I have no doubt in my mind that it will be an even better game by late 2024 thanks to the modding community, and you’ll probably be able to get it on sale by then. Especially if you plan to buy it on Steam, where big sales events seem to happen every week. But I doubt Starfield is going to be finished in September, because Bethesda has been given a mandate to hit a product launch target determined by Microsoft board room executives. We’ve all seen enough games this year, especially on PC, that were practically broken on day one, and especially after Redfall, I have a feeling that Starfield won’t be any better.
Isn’t $70 industry standard now?
They’re trying hard to push it as the new standard, but not every publisher is doing it yet. It’s been tried before, and fizzled out because consumers stopped buying as much but unfortunately, it might stick this time.
With game pass, I don’t really mind this
Is it gonna be on gamepass?
Xbox exclusives are day 1 gamepass always
That’s what I heard
I’ll never understand people who break down the gates to buy single player games on launch day.
I will be playing it day 1 on game pass and after mods start releasing and im ready to mod the game, I plan on buying it on sale. It seems like a pretty good plan to me.
Good plan. I should have been clear I meant people throwing $60-70 at a single player game on launch day.
off topic but I just realized that lemmy updates live, I always wished this was a thing with reddit lol
I wasn’t going to buy it anyway, but at this price I’m extra special not going to buy it.
I kinda love when AAA games get a stupidly expensive collectors edition that like ten people will buy. Just like seeing what insane shit they throw in them.
Is anyone going to buy these other versions? I feel like most people are just going to play on gamepass.
I don’t need any of the editions but the controller that leaked for this game was heat. Can’t find the Pic atm but I might grab that
Looking forward to this - games are just too expensive these days.
