Pre-ordered it a month ago. Waiting for the release, but not really hyped. Hoping it's going to be as good as it's been indicated.

I just hope it wont crash as often as FO4 on launch, I too preordered the most expensive trim.

I was excited for Fallout 76 and "revolutionary graphics" and we got... shit graphics.  And other players are "NPCs".
 
We'll see.

Not so much. I'm all on board to relive the experience of 1st time playing Skyrim but I'm not in rush. I don't really care if I play it few months or years later.

Yep, very excited. The elder scrolls have been some of my favorite games ever. I think the Fallouts are great too (never played 76 though). 
 
I never preorder anything, and I have gamepass, although this time I did order the premium edition upgrade (assuming/hoping it mixes with my gamepass standard edition fine), just so I could get the early access on the 1st. 
 
The upgrade was a little pricey, but the main selling point to me was that it says it's coming with some sort of story/side quest addon (I don't care about gear/cosmetics), and it moves the release to a Friday specifically. 
 
The Friday is what cinched it for me, more than just being earlier lol.
 
Edit: And if it's even just as good as previous Bethesda titles, I'll be happy, and if the modding isn't on point with the Windows gamepass version, I'm sure I'll buy the steam version eventually. (I never mod on first play through anyways).

Very excited, but Baldur's Gate 3 has comply sidetracked me so my hype for StarField is on hiatus for now. 
The big question however is, how long it will take for modders to add Skyrim dragons and a copy of The lusty argonian maid to the game. 

It's on Xbox PC Game pass 2023-9-5 so I might check it out if I can make 3000 more MS reward points by then and get Game pass free. I don't think I want to put $90 more into steam right now as I already have like 175 games I haven't even tried out yet. The Min specs call for a GTX 1070ti so I want to try it for free and make sure it runs before I dope that cash.

Maybe? I'm not pre-ordering, but I will watch the launch day reviews with interest. This feels like the best year for game releases for over a decade, so I'm not gasping for a new game. Probably give them 6 months to get the biggest patches out of the way, Bethesda has a reputation...

It's a Bethesda game. I'll wait for a few months until modders fix all the bugs then I'll jump in.

Bethesda is still in my good graces despite the dumpster fire that was Fallout 76 (even though it got a lot better and definitely had its high points, launch and many other things were still inexcusable), but Starfield looks incredible. Everything they showed in their showcase a few months ago blew me away, so as long as it isn't absolutely broken on launch I have high hopes. They're one of my last few trusted western devs personally, so by God I need this lol. If it doesn't pan out at least I've got Armored Core to fall back on, so we'll see (fingers crossed)

I'm fairly excited, but wont pre-order. I will be paying attention to the release reviews to see if I should jump in right away, or give it a few months.

I don't pre-purchase anything anymore unless I specifically want a limited run collectors edition or something, but i'm moderately excited yes.
Though I'll likely play this on XB instead of PC, as my wife like to backseat game big story driven titles.

Based.
 
 
This is basically how I and most people I know feel about the release of Starfield. Not sure if it's just all of the overhyped messes that have came out or just Todd Howard saying "It just works" but I would rather wait and see rather then Pre-ordering and regretting my choices later. Honestly, once it comes out I may just do gamepass for a month to try it out.

Bethesda's quality has been slipping for a long time and F76 was a disaster so I see no reason to get hype for a game made by devs that still need to prove they can dig themselves out of a hole instead of further into it.

I love space games, but I am just not hyped for this one until reviews come out. The chances that it releases buggy, unfinished, and unoptimised is very high considering recent AAA releases

Far from hyped. But my cousin pre-ordered it and I admit, I will check it out. 

No, I categorically ignore any Bethesda games not made by any of their subsidiaries. Bethesda have a habit of releasing vanilla products that are so bad that they only become even remotely bearable when the players end up fixing shit the developers can't be bothered to. Dated graphics technology, bland art direction, horrendously shitty gameplay and time wasting copy-pasted quests and environments that add nothing to the experience beyond endless tedium. Also notice the frequency of praise Bethesda games get in the narrative department, or the notable absence thereof. Their games offer huge worlds that are about as deep as a kiddie pool and I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would get excited about any of it.

I'm excited to try it but not buy it.  Luckily it is available day 1 on gamepass.

Not really, first I need to see the actual game released.

I haven't played a game in a long time. I'm very much looking forward to Starfield as I am a big Fallout fan and the new IP sounds exciting. I'm hoping it's good as I'd love to find a game that sucks me in for a while again. 

Very excited but also very cautious...

I have been disappointed by modern games a lot, BF was for me the biggest disappointing, I paid a lot for that game and since then I watch gameplay before buying after release because the videos from the devs themselves are not really a good representation of how I will experience a game.

And since there is so much hype around it, I feel like waiting till most reviews are in and then making the decision to buy 🙂

I really miss a Fallout/MassEffect kind of RPG singleplayer game, and I think this checks most boxes, but ill wait...

who all has pre purchased starfield and is planning on playing it sept 1? or is planning on playing it at release on sept 5th/6th? 🙂 
And how excited are you to play it?
 
i personally cannot wait to play another true bethesda rpg as its been years since falllout 4 released the last mainline bethesda title. and of course before that skyrim. Sadly not many games have given me this bethesda open world vibe that their games give me. The only game that came close to that in the past years was a game like elden ring funnily enough and i personally am dying to play another big rpg. so i personally bought the premium edition as i was planning on getting the dlc anyway so the earlier access is a nice bonus, (even convinced my partner who also games to get it as well) 🙂 

Linus says, and I quote - £700 billet block is an egregious waste of money"
 
 
So why did you not try and talk him out of spending that much on a PC, that was, hilariously, an egregious waste of money.
 
Further more, how much did the TV stand you bought recently and then boasted about cost? wasn't it $15k or something like that?
 
Dude you so out of touch you've already reached Mars. Tell Elon he lost.
