Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences!

  Being a patient gamer isn’t strictly about money. It’s about not getting caught up in hype and making more calculated decisions. Even so, wanting to pay what you think something is worth is just good practice.

    I'm not going to wait two years -- though I'm opposed to preordering -- but there are other benefits too. Two years down the line:

    • A bunch of bugs are patched. Even if Starfield is relatively free of bugs, there will be some.

    • The wikis for the game have been written up. Someone obsessive person will have sat down and figured out the quirks of game mechanics and documented them. Understanding stuff like the relative merits of armor-piercing, bleeding, and so forth in Fallout 4 was complicated.

    • Starfield's expansion packs will be out.

    • Mods will be out, and there will probably be some pretty "must have" ones.

  What if I told you it’s possible to have money and not want to waste it on dumb shit?

    Maybe that’s one of the reasons you have said money?

  Lmao I only buy games when they’re discounted too and suddenly I have 186 games in my steam library, most of them are still unplayed . I’m not in a hurry to buy more games with such a long backlog.
