I will say once more. Do not preorder video games. It could be shit, it could be buggy, but what it won't do is run out of copies. Wait until the reviews are out, or even a bit after it launches if you can. If you're anything like me you have hundreds of games you haven't played yet so what's an hour or a day in the grand scheme of things.
I was burned too bad with Cyberpunk 2077 that even though Starfield seems to be all right, I'm waiting until after reviews come out before I pick up a copy. That just means I wait a few more days to reduce the risk of more pain.
Man I wish I could even get a consistent impression out of anyone. I've been scrounging for pre-release footage but Beth is being weirdly tight lipped about this one.
100% a wait for the reviews situation, the less they show off the more I worry they're hiding something. Just a reminder to everyone, Fallout 76 was the last game they released...
