429,00 BRL for the Premium here... Hilariously expensive.

I only got Premium because I'm a massive Todd Howard fangirl (despite being a rather towering dude )

I fought off and whined about GTA5. Not alone there. The whole reason I built my new rig is so I could get a start on RDR2 and then when I had free time read up and it make sense from a gameplay standpoint. Gonna do the same with this I think.

We might not all agree on hardware, but good games are good.

Windows 11 is fine, just use O&O ShutUp10+ and Winaero Tweaker to get it the way you want. Start11 is also a great pick, and worth the ~~fistful of~~ dollars.

How I picture people who say Windows 11 is fine.....

Lets try a little harder to keep it on topic folks

For those that got the game with AMD can now download it.

only 5hrs for me.

Space Lynx · Aug 31, 2023

Damm, only takes me like 12 minutes or something to download 100 gigs. Maybe 20, I don't remember. I got 1000 down

In any case, good reminder to fully update the PC before installing it tomo.

Also, you guys remembered to get the mandatory munchies? Some cans of Monster Ultra would work wonders

I will be on the road for work until the end of the year so I'm using the phone for internet.

Well I've lost all common sense. I pre-ordered the Premium Edition, and have pre-loaded the game.

I'm pretty sure I'm just going to buy a 7800XT, unless the 7800XT is a turd, of course, at which point I'll grab a 7900XT.

I don't need a new GPU but I do want Starfield so there's effectively a $70 discount on either a sidegrade or an upgrade which I can turn into profit or justification respectively.

Honestly I might just go for a 7900xtx if the 7800xt isn't interesting. If I'm spending that kind of money anyway, might as well splurge (without getting silly, like the cost of a 4080).

Welcome to the club. I bought a key, I had my friend activate it for me, I dont have any AMD products.

Easy Rhino · Aug 31, 2023

The only reason I am purchasing Deluxe is because this weekend in the USA is Labor Day weekend so I will actually have time to play the game! Kids don't have school and I will have an extra day off. Next week won't be the same with too many activities.

Looks like Premium Edition only, still waiting on my Standard Edition. Makes sense though for your early access

FoulOnWhite · Aug 31, 2023

Doesn't premium get to play 5 days before standard?

Just don't look in the thread. There'll be performance reviews.

You're just pre-ordering the DLC. Over here the standard + DLC costs the same as the premium. I've said it a hundred times before, DON'T PRE-ORDER, it's only encouraging publishers to pull more of this stupid pricing/segmentation bullshit that we all loathe.

I salute everyone who pre-orders. Thank You for Your Service! :clap:

Where would we be today without such brave young pioneers, lol.

Also watch out for invisible walls in the game. Apparently it's not open world and you can only explore "tiles" and move from tile to tile only with your starship.

Fans are frustrated after leaked gameplay footage reveals Starfield is harder to explore than Bethesda let on

A few people got their hands on advanced copies of Starfield and began leaking screenshots and footage alleging the game is not as open and explorable as...

Performance reviews are ok, but maybe not straight up storyline leaks.

Lew Zealand · Aug 31, 2023

Preloading now, this is by far the earliest I've been to a game so it'll be interesting. Got in at the ground floor with a $300 6700 XT and was oblivious to the free game until Amz send an email with the promo info. That was a nice surprise!

MrDweezil · Aug 31, 2023

I bought my 6800xt like a month before they announced the bundle, so :banghead:

Still have gamepass though.

oxrufiioxo · Aug 31, 2023

I know most of us are on PC but still interesting.

Easy Rhino · Aug 31, 2023

I just purchased Digital Premium Edition on Steam and am in the process of preloading. It says "coming September 6th." in my Steam library. Does that show for other people? I thought it would say something like "coming September 1" since I bought the Premium edition.
