Cohh made a video about this, because he got the very same advice that you just gave. it ruined his playthrough and after hearing his reasons, I know that it would have ruined mine as well. so I would be very careful about this, it definitely depends on how you personally like to play and enjoy RPGs.

it does, doesn’t it? I can’t check it right now but I’m certain I can rotate all directions (on Xbox with controller).

and as we all know, taste justifies every kind of cruelty. /s

the preload started yesterday and people have been datamining.

I don’t expect it to be as bugged as previous releases. they were often fighting against a set timeline. this time it sounds like Microsoft urged them to postpone the release to make sure that the game is more polished. and recent interviews also sounded like there are hundreds of people playtesting the game right now. so I expect it to have less bugs then usual… mainly because of Microsofts involvements.

I always wanted to play the first Red Dead Redemption. it was one of the first games I bought for the Series S. that was before there were rumors about an actual remake of the game for current generations.

this is from the AMD website, so it IS in fact an advert for AMD. I wouldn’t take it too seriously… they don’t even specify the fps target.

yeah… and I just checked Skyrim and FO4 on the Xbox store. both of them don’t have “Xbox play anywhere” and therefore no shared saves. so it’s likely the same for Starfield.

And I get the thing about the mods. I was still hoping for cross platform saves, because I haven’t really decided yet whether I want to play on Xbox or PC. and it would suck to start over again after having played for several hours on one platform.

tbf it only says that you can play on both platforms… that doesn’t necessarily mean that the progression is shared.

here, have my upvote. but please don’t tell anyone.

just a heads up: the new Series S with 1TB isn’t out yet. if you are looking to buy it, it will release in September. all the ones you are seeing right now are still the 500GB version. if you have the time, i would wait for it. i bought mine in February and the limited amount of space is my main criticism. i had to invest an additional 100 bucks to get a fast external SSD.
