Can you really put a price on getting into a time machine and playing a video game early?
It's really tough to put a price on early jank hilarity.

It entirely depends on if you're into that sort of thing. I absolutely got my early money's worth playing the first few days of Cyberpunk 2077 with all the bugs. poo poo was hilarious, day one I fell through the ground into nothingness.

It's incredible, I can't believe I'm going to play it early. It's the most amazing thing!! We're all stunned, all us early access purchasers are just impressed and astonished

Only thing stopping me right now is that I, personally, need to be able to walk 41 minutes in one direction in order to reach "immersion". Since the horrific news broke that you can only mindlessly walk 40 minutes in one direction, I have preemptively smashed an xbox controller, quit my job and filed for a divorce.

Valve doesn't have the resources to make Steam client differentiate between an unreleased gama available for preload and a released one.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

It says you need to install the game to start playing! That's actually true! However, it doesn't say you can play now!

Oh I won't argue that... I argue comparing the two, though. Tears of the Kingdom was a good game, why not Starfield? Halo 3 was a good game, why not Starfield? Rez was a good game, why not Starfield?
UPDATE: This just in!

86GB download, +110GB on-disk - that's a pretty good compression ratio, especially for something that presumably includes a lot of textures.

For the PC players here, this reddit post has a leaker talking about PC performance and includes a screenshot of his settings.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/1644erd/pc_performance_leak/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Reddit posted:

Leaker reports they are running 3800x/2080ti @ 1440p on the above high settings.

He gets 45-60 fps most of the time, 60-70 fps in dungeons and space.

The post doesn't have story or other spoilers, but I haven't looked at the comments. It only mentions performance, personal opinion and score, and some more about how the tiles and boundaries work.

That wouldn’t hurt, but since that person was playing with a dynamic resolution, those drops are likely a CPU bottleneck

Ignore my doomerism, I don't think better things are possible
Considering my 3080 struggles in a lot of games on high (not ultra) settings at 3440x1440 with DLSS, those performance numbers are worrying.

Even though the game launches tomorrow night, I think I'll wait for Friday morning to dive in. I'll probably spend 3 hours on character creator and tweaking settings. Also, the GMG promotion is over now, but they had a 17% off promo on all games including Starfield, so I got the Digital Deluxe for 82.99.

I am going to wait for some reviews from reviews whose opinions generally align with mine before I buy the game. 2023 has been a good year in games and I can wait.

i can notice the difference between 30-60 fps but i guess it doesn't bother me terribly? here's hoping gsync will help there.

anyway this character creator has been a big help for me

https://nukesdragons.com/starfield/character

I've spent way more time in it than I usually do in builders, but I think I've finally settled on the first one. I've got ideas for others but I will wait on those until I have a first run through playing my usual style in BGS games.

Should be fine with my i7-12700k/3080 @ 1440p then. :cool:
Never expected 90fps, I'll be very happy with 60fps with almost everything on Very High.

Will be interesting trying to stream it to the tv through my Nvidia Shield. I guess I'll need a tv tray for keyboard and mouse...
