For those who have pre-ordered it is already here, the rest have to wait a little longer. Starfield is finally here! Have you bought it, why or why not? If you've already played it, what do you think of it? We are very curious!

Discuss all things Starfield below!

As someone who found NMS boring very fast, will I like this game? I just want a game I can sink a ton of time in with moderately fun combat and progression.

They're completely different games. If you like other BGS games (Elder Scrolls, Fallout 3/4) you'll probably like this. If you didn't, you absolutely won't like this.

I really liked Skyrim. I want another experience like that. I don't care about flying around space

I also want to be a stealth archer... In space

If you like the sci-fi setting and don't mind some flying around space (it does have it, just not seamless travel) you'll probably like it.

I still have to play Starfield, but the most boring aspect for me of NMS was the writing. I've found it incredibly bad, so i guess starfield is better in that regard

The lack of real stories was a disappointment but I like the whole empty world find your own fun kinda thing in NMS, we started playing after MP was fixed and within 10 mins I had a carrier 😂
