I don't know if I will preorder but I will buy Game Pass for a month to try it out. And I'm interested enough to try it out first day.
Nah gamepass is totally fine. It's the thought of pre ordering that makes my brain hirt.
I'm with you on pre-ordering but GTA and Elder Scrolls games are my two exceptions. Not sure how I feel about Starfield, should be similar to an Elder Scrolls game since there is no online stuff to go wrong.
My whole hearted advice is to wait for reviews before ever buying a game. Therenis really absolutely zero reason to ever pre order. The pre order bonus skins or whatever are playing on your emotions. People need to resist!
It's gonna be on gamepass at launch??
Haven't preordered a game in at least 15 years. I preordered this one. I want that juicy September 1st playtime. Haven't been this excited for a game since I don't know when.
I hope I can finish BG3 before Starfield's release.
