    I’m looking forward to Starfield, but there’s no way in hell I’m playing it on day one. I got burned back when Skyrim came out and I lost eight hours of progress due to a bug.

        Somehow I ended up with a pre-order by buying a laptop. It feels like they’ve been practically giving them out, at least with their AMD partnership, and assuming you’re already in the market looking at hardware. I wasn’t even planning to buy the game originally, maybe I’ll play it.

        Even a banger like BG3, if you aren’t dying to play it, benefits from waiting for Patch 1, so it’s generally decent advice/practice to let a game get over the first couple hurdles.

      Straight up, I’m planning to wait for reviews and some patches to roll out.

      I’ve been playing Bethesda games for awhile and every single 3D game made by them has had some serious issues on launch.

        As I usually say, playing day one is playing to the WORST version of the game 😅. I will still play it day one if I can complete my current games, but we have to keep this in mind when playing day one.
