Starfield Hits Top PS5 Pre Order Charts Before Launch

Bunch of PS5 players about to get dissapointed.

Played it on my brother’s Xbox Series S for about 40 hours and damn,this game looks like a chore or a job.

Bruh if you’re reading this and on the fence about starfield don’t make the jump , it’s not a fun game and it has one interesting quest line , stop befofe it’s too late

Played it day one on Gamepass on my series X. Was fun for a few days, but got old fast. Since I moved, my xbox stayed at my parents house, and my PS5 came to my apartment, so I havent played it with any of the updates. Ive heard its gotten better, so will interested to check it out eventually.

I’m not going to bash it again here, I have issues with it, some can be fixed, some can’t.

*BUT* the new stuff does look good. I’m currently tempted to play it again on PC once I’m though with Crimson Desert and Death Stranding 2 (if Bond doesn’t get in the way). If I do, I’m going to play it the same way I do No Man Sky (pootle around looking cool and building outposts to gather resources).

I’ll take the downvotes.

Yes I’m excited for the game. I bought a PC just to play at launch in 2023 and quickly realized that collecting trophies and chatting with friends in a PlayStation party is what makes gaming fun for me. On top of that, I stopped playing before Shattered Space and other QOL improvements.

The game may not be on par with Skyrim but nobody makes games like Bethesda.

Chuds are the reason studios keep pumping out garbage…

We’re in for a lot of comments and posts crying about how disappointing this game is. As someone who sunk a lot of time into it on XB, go cancel your preorders and wait for a sale on this one.

I honestly have no clue how anyone is excited to play Starfield.

But why?!

I played it on series s and actually liked it but series s is not a great console. If it performs a lot better on ps5 I may actually pay for it.

Starfield is an inch deep and a mile wide. It’s totally empty calories.

I played like 80-90 hours immediately after launch. I took off a week of work to play it. And yeah during that time I was aware of the issues it had, but they didn’t matter to me. I made excuses to myself- it’s a Bethesda game damn it! I had to see it through, and so what if it is janky and the writing sucks and the POIs are all the same and there’s like four cities and none of them come close to the level of detail and density of things to do that I expect from a modern game. “Fuck the haters I said”

Well as soon as I finished the game it was like post-nut clarity. I had no desire to ever play it again. All the flaws I had hand-waved were extremely apparent. This was not the Bethesda game I wanted. I was never lost in the world. I didn’t want to go back. It was just a feeling of emptiness and unfulfillment.

It sounds dumb to put that much time in and only then come to that conclusion, but again I had taken the time off from well in advance and I crushed that out in like two weeks. And you get just enough of that Bethesda feeling intermittently that you keep going- maybe it’s gonna get better, maybe it’s already good enough and I’m being too harsh. Zero gravity combat sure is fun, and some of the quest design itself- not the writing- felt like the games I loved.

All that is to say, if you pre-ordered, then by now you’re surely aware of the issues people have with it. I think you can have fun with the game, but you may still draw the same conclusions everyone else has. It is hard to describe the feeling of what makes the game bad until you’ve spent enough time in it. It goes beyond being a loading screen simulator- I could deal with that if everything else worked properly. It’s just a failure all around, and it can’t be fixed.

Game is garbage
