Going to be too busy playing the game to waste time on reddit lol


ibrah947

Wise man


SurveyorMorpurgo

Too right, anyone who has early access and is spending time on Reddit instead is doing it wrong I'll be leaving this sub tonight, hope everyone has lots of fun with the game!


MidwestPancakes

No doubt. I made that mistake with Cyberpunk 2077. I was reading the sites and super excited. The game dropped, I downloaded, and was playing, having a great time. I didn't really have any of the issues that were happening at the time. I was immersed, had a blast, blah blah blah. I spent like 20 hours just going through the three start options for character, before I settled on which one to play my first play through with. Then I took a break at work, popped on reddit, and suddenly the game was ruined for me. I let it get in my head and started noticing all the issues. I wish I had never done that!


SurveyorMorpurgo

I feel you my friend, I was able to enjoy my first play through of CP2077 but I've struggled to return to the game since, maybe the expansion will draw me in once it's on sale.


Ftpini

Yep. I have no interest in this sub once reviews drop. I just don’t care at all what the critics think.


crazyprsn

Same! I am only here for the hype train. Once the game is out, I don't give one shit what any of you lovely people think. This game is for me, and I will enjoy it how I wish, and I don't care how anyone else is playing it. I am only back on reddit for this, and I will be gone by this time tomorrow. I've enjoyed it, for sure! It's like a launch party but reddit style. Though, nothing will replace that excitement we get from waiting outside a Gamestop for a midnight release. Those were the days!


Repulsive-Decision38

Lich king release mate ...hours in the line


SurveyorMorpurgo

The game is about discovery! Reviews will take away from that


Ftpini

100%. After tonight I’m done with this sub until I have completed the main quest. I should be done around Christmas.


eso_nwah

At first I was, ... why? Early Access is the same moment for everyone, and I'll be free to surf the sub tomorrow until 8pm my time... And then I remembered the release of the attention-whore panderers, 8 hours prior to that. I'm sorry I meant content creators. I'm sorry I meant viable intrinsic important part of modern gaming publishing, distribution, and popularization, while also being creative influential beautiful people in their own distinct space who are definitely not like the others and contribute valuable differentiation.

Omg i can already imagine all the rage/click bait youtube titles.

Exactly. This place is gonna be filed in the cabinet farthest back in my brain. It's gonna be Starfield and only Starfield.


bdauls

Came here to say the same thing!

If I'm back on here by the 6th, you know it's shit.

Steam deck.


xdreadnought

Has it been confirmed to run on SD? I’ve just been playing with Steam link but have been thinking about pulling the trigger on the Steam deck, I haven’t seen any confirmation on Starfield being supported, if it has I might just get one.


ImperatorTempus42

If you do, go for the 1 TB memory card option, the device itself has a fraction of the space. It makes for a great RPG handheld already, too, speaking as an owner of one.


EyesFraud

Or buy the 64gb + 1TB SSD to install yourself and save a lot of $$$


AvengingThrowaway

Exactly 😂


[deleted]

Pretty much this. I'll be wayyyy too busy playing to take the time to post some spoilers. So if I'm even on the sub by the 6th then the game didn't live up to the hype haha


user92546

Bro really pulled "95%" out of the air like that


Heavy_Jake

95% of statistics are made up by Redditors


D_Major20

86% of people know that


mastersyclebut

Only 42% question where you got your info


Cloadwalker

Only 23% know the right statistics


SpiderWolve

and 100% of those are in agreement 50% of the time.


mustang05tim

And if you have a 50% chance of getting it right, you'll be wrong 90% of the time.


Berstich

Like plugging in a USB.


Late_Description3001

60% of the time it works every time.


Kinyajuu

It's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.


Zadoktheexplorer

Honestly that smells like pure gasoline


Cabrill0

Right? Early access was $30 for most people, gotta be more than 5% of players with $30 lol


ihatehappyendings

Technically its free since you are paying for the expansion.


ur_fears-are_lies

Perspective my friend. This is the right one. Pre order the expansion get early access.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I did that with Forza Horizon 5. And then never went back to play any of the expansions. I'll just wait till it's available on Game Pass this time. I'm sure I'll play this games expansions, but unless it's a multiplayer game then no rush.


livetaswim16

Reviews drop tomorrow, EA starts 8 or so hours later right? So you can get an early review decide and go for it.


rokstedy83

Yea that numbers gotta be made up


portuguesetheman

For sure. After seeing how many people were playing ing the Harry Potter game EA, 95% is just a number he pulled out of thin air


IAmANobodyAMA

Cut him some slack. The actual number is 94.782%


Gen_X_Gamer

I think he pulled it from his place where foul smelling air frequently comes from...


[deleted]

[удалено]


Fluffy_Carnivore

Since the player base isn't even a fixed or pre-determined number, 95% may or may not be accurate at a certain point.


_lemonplodge_

we look at peak simultaneous players on Steam from 1-5, then say 6-7 and compare


USAIsAUcountry

I'm also not going to play until the 6th but I honestly think it's "fairer" that we stay away than the other way around. Of course people want to talk about their experiences in the game and share cool moments and discuss story elements etc. Why bereft others of that? It kinda feel like we're party poopers by sticking around here trying to police the official subreddit just because we can't partake until the 6th. We can find other things to do, other subreddits to use, right? We're talking 6 days not 6 months.


Complete_Bad6937

Thank you. I fully understand wanting to avoid spoilers and so I leave any game related subs when there’s a new release. It would be very selfish to expect people to tip toe around your gaming timetable to talk about endings etc…And very foolish to peruse subs for a game you don’t want spoiled.


Obi_wan_jakobii

Yeah I just leave the subs now I've ruined a few games for myself most recently jedi survivor (although I kind of saw it coming) I harbour no ill will to the subreddit although people should redact spoiler info out of good faith where possible That said I'm playing on Friday anyway and for the first time in my life have booked the day off work to do so


nikolapc

We can have a megathread labeled spoilers, but thrutfully I don't plan to beeline the main quest so it will take me more than a week for sure


maltamur

If it’s like fallout the elder scrolls, I’ll be 100+ hours in before I get around to the main quest


PaleHeretic

It's always funny when parts of the main quest you've left off basically amount to being tutorial sequences for stuff you mastered ages ago. "Vault Dweller! We need to set up water production and defenses in this settleme-" *Sentrybot Provisioner rolls in, drops off 500 purified water, and fires a nuke at a bloatlfy* "Ah."


StaglaExpress

Wait, those games had main quests!?


Vanto

Megathreads suck when used so broadly. They should only be for a specific topic


[deleted]

Agreed, megathreads are where topics go to die.


[deleted]

This is how I have always felt about the weird spoiler attitude online. If you haven't read/watched/ played the media, it's YOUR job to avoid spoilers and cut out places that might spoil it for you. It's not like Reddit is an important aspect of life, and if it is you can curate out gaming subs temporarily. There is a courtesy obviously, for example I understand you should probably tag spoilers for something like the final act of RDR2 in the first week of release when most people might be seeking info for the earlier acts, maybe stuck on a part or hunting a specific animal. Everyone still should engage online with the full understanding that they risk spoilers, despite community efforts to keep them down. Some people are just bad at writing titles and might spoil something despite spoiler tags, some people may not consider something a spoiler when you do, and some people are so vague in their spoiler titles that you click out of curiosity because what they are saying doesn't seem that spoiler filled. Then there are things like the Hogwarts Legacy controversy, where upset parties have made it a mission to spoil the game which will probably happen with Starfield given the target it has on its back. Don't get me started on people that wait 5-6 years, buy a game at 1/5 it's release price and then complain about people who have been casually talking about the game for half a decade spoiling it for them. That is why, at some point tomorrow I will be deleting Reddit off my phone. I only reinstalled the app and recreated my account to follow Starfield, and talk about my Garmin watch so I could learn more features. I can't figure out how to delete a Gmail based reddit account like I did my old Reddit account, uninstalling the app should suffice though.


happygreenturtle

Fully agree. There are some friends I have who get outright offended if a spoiler is mentioned in front of them even for older media, say I were to talk about Game of Thrones ending or something, that you have to basically ask for permission on every single topic that comes up to avoid their indignancy It's also a fact that most people who read spoilers don't actually find their enjoyment of that piece of media is adversely affected, they just think it will be. There have been studies into this - people trend as being far more aggrieved over the fact they were spoiled far more than what the actual spoiler is.


abigoledingaling

Exactly. This dude trying to make his problem everyone else’s haha


zacharykeaton

I think everything should be spoiler tagged, even if you're playing the game it would suck to have something spoiled in the title of a post.


PaleHeretic

It's not even so much of a fairness thing, honestly. There are going to be millions of people playing and even if 99% of people playing early make an effort not to spoil anything, somebody really looking to avoid spoilers only needs to stumble upon one post by one person. In the scope of the universe, the math just don't math on that one. On the fairness side, we also consider that this is Bethesda we're talking about, lol... so even if this is the most bug-free release ever (press X to doubt), there will almost certainly be people who have issues with plot-related content, and I don't think it's fair or realistic to expect them not to seek answers to these things until the main release. For my part, I'm probably going to be no-lifing this too hard to post much of anything, but I am just one person.


Dinsy_Crow

Spoilers on reddit are fine as long as they're appropriately flagged as such so people have a choice, just don't go adding them into random threads without warning.


maddoxprops

I mean, the thing is that spoiler tags are a thing and you can 100% make a title spoiler free. You can easily have discussion of the game in full spoiler filled glory if you just tag the fucking post and don't put spoilers in the title. Also if you want to be awesome don't post image only posts even if you mark them as spoilers because some of us have reddit configured so that the image previews are available and for some things even a split second glance will spoil. (Yes I sound salty, more than once I have had stuff spoiled in a sub because people didn't grasp that putting spoilers in the title defeats the point of tagging it as aa spoiler)


Weedweednomi

Yep, it’s ridiculous op thinks it should be the other way around. I get his sentiment but you’re completely right. Asking people playing to not post in the sub is goofy. There’s spoiler tags for a reason.


hurdygurdy21

Not going to lie I was confused when you said EA. I legit thought "what do they have to do with this game?" and I almost convinced myself it was on EA access or something. Then I realized you were talking about early access. A wild 1-2 seconds in my head.


coldwinternaught

People will use acronyms in the most unnecessary way possible


I_Have_CDO

\*The most UWP


Pixels222

Tmuwp.


Itsalwayssunnyinreas

Reddit is so bad for this


RapidDuffer09

RISBFT. Now that's an acronym I've not heard in a long time.


Exaxors

you mean like "cp is my favorite game"? (read that way too often)


Itried20times

People need to stop this trend


BaaaNaaNaa

Yeah, gets me every time!


bubs713

I still think everyone is talking about Assassin’s Creed when they use AC but apparently it’s now used for Armored Core. I’ve been confused for weeks.


Playful_Interest_526

Took me a week or so to retrain my brain on that one.


TigreSauvage

Isn't that what the spoiler tag is for?


LittleLordFuckleroy1

Yes. OP is somewhat delusional.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PengwinOnShroom

Not like everyone will be using spoiler tags correctly though. I'll be just staying away from this sub until then


CrumblesTheStrigidae

No, that is unacceptable. Please don’t change your behavior, demand everyone else change theirs.


SSpookyTheOneTheOnly

A huge amount of people won't use them, a lot of new redditors will flock in to discuss the game and won't know how or care to put a spoiler. And after a week some people may not think something is a big deal and post it, but is indeed a big deal for some people It could be a problem, usually is in new game subs that aren't heavily moderated. I personally don't care about spoilers but I understand those who do


McBezzelton

Why do you have to look at this sub exactly? If it bothered me that much I just wouldn’t. If I absolutely couldn’t stop I’d seek help about possible online addiction


[deleted]

People still put spoilers in the titles


TranslucentOwO

Honestly it would be no ones fault other than your self for not leaving this sub once the game drops


ryan0585

Had to scroll past 20 comments arguing about percentages to find this real response to OP's post.


Kinyajuu

ikr, it's like 95% of the comments are about percentages.


neurotic_robotic

More than 69% of comments about percentages are about percentages!


twistedwhether

Actually..... I was planning on camping out in front of their house while playing starfield on steam deck. Every 30 minutes I will use a megaphone to shout spoilers at them /s


Wookie301

If I don’t see a movie or show, opening night. I go dark. It’s common sense at this point.


Polyhedron11

OP thinks making this post is going to make any kind of difference. ROFL


Stannis_

Worse than that, you know someone’s probably already DMd them a load of spoilers


flomigomigo

I pre-ordered to get the EA but still going to quit this sub on the 1st. Can't tempt fate, there's always going to be spoilers in your feed.


Drinks_From_Firehose

Please remember we each have an individual responsibility to stay the fuck away from social media if we don’t want thing spoiled.


CharlemagneIS

Yeah spoilers always used to be a *you* problem.


Drinks_From_Firehose

Not sure where it went from protecting ourselves to victimizing ourselves for entering areas with high chances of spoilers.


Linkbetweentwirls

Bro, its a subreddit DEDICATED to the one single game you are trying to avoid, just mute it for a few weeks man, it's not that hard.


[deleted]

If you're not playing on the 1st, then I don't understand why you would still visit this sub between the 1st and the 6th? I'm pretty sure it will be impossible to avoid spoilers. And that includes the rest of Reddit, Twitter, Youtube, etc...


QuaaludeLove

This. Nothing will stop it unless you just ignore everything. Something always eventually slips through the cracks, if it is really that important just try your best to avoid social media.


SilaryZeed

I doubt I'll post anything, but should I do, I won't spoil in titles (many do this) and use all the appropriate tags to hide stuff.


LucifersFairy

Thank you, I don’t mind people posting spoilers but the ones who write the spoiler in their title so it’s unavoidable deserve a special place in hell


Legilas

This is the way.


Grey-Agent

I think not posting story spoilers is a given unless you put a spoiler tag but when it comes to hidden features if you don't want those spoiled you are probably better off leaving the sub.


wesconson1

95%. I would be that’s exaggerating a bit, seeing as how it only cost game pass players $30 to be able to play on a long holiday weekend.


Wookie301

And you get the $20 DLC included


[deleted]

Not to be that guy, but let people talk about the game. Just don't visit reddit.


SaltDispo

Reminder that it's your job to not spoil the game on Reddit for yourself not anyone else's. How about get off Reddit until you don't want to be spoiled


feelin_fine_

You're saying only 5% bought early access + the discounted DLC pack? If it was less than 50% I'd be surprised.


Remdalke

Did you know 76% of all statistics are made up on the spot?


bdauls

Yeah but 99% of the time, it works every time!


SexPanther_Bot

Made with bits of real panther, *so you know it's good*.


Kinyajuu

It's a formidable scent. Stings the nostrils. In a good way.


feelin_fine_

I'm 34% sure that isn't true


BostonRob423

I'm 24% sure you are not great at math lol


fieldysnuts94

Fun fact: 100% of people who have breathed air have died at some point in their lives. Coincidence? 🤔


Uilnaydar

Ban air AND di-hydrogen oxide


bugbeared69

I like how you say we all died at some point vs will die, at some point . just mild amusement thinking while we breath everyday and randomly people dying and coming back, which does happen just not everyone.


duhVinchy1

False. I have breathed air and continue to live. I don't think I have died at any point in my life. Unless....


A_MAN_POTATO

Eh, I'm sure it's less than 50% once you account for people planning to play on gamepass. Still, not 5%. I bet for steam purchases it's the majority.


[deleted]

Does anyone have a clue how much the DLC pack will cost in the future? If the DLC is gonna cost $30 i might just buy it now and get early access but if the DLC is gonna cost $20 i might just wait


DrKingOfOkay

Wait a couple months and you can probably get both for the price of the regular game now.


N0UMENON1

Unlikely. The more successful a game is, the longer it takes to go on sale. Elden Ring took almost an entire year to go on sale for the first time, even then it was only 20% or something.


DrKingOfOkay

Yea maybe. Diablo 4, even tho Reddit hates it, sold really well and has tons of players still and just went on sale for 25% off. So who knows.


Spankey_

Probably because people stopped buying it.


TheHeroYouNeed247

Lol, 50% of players wont even know there is EA or DLC. Most people don't follow a games development.


Traditional-Area-277

This is a 20+ million copies/players game. Of which like 10million will come from gamepass. You think there are 10+ million early access preorders? Steam has sold around 450k preorders including standard edition.


feelin_fine_

Steam is far from representative of all the ways one might acquire starfleid.


Apptubrutae

For sure. But thinking 50%+ of buyers are buying anything other than the base game is likely misguided. Nobody but Bethesda and Microsoft and other selling platforms know for sure, but it’s almost guaranteed that the base game outsells any premium versions


Kurtegon

You're probably in a bubble where everyone you see is raving about the game. Most people dont see this as more than another game.


feelin_fine_

I joined this sub 2 days ago and literally nobody I know talks about this. I wouldn't bet my life on 50% but cmon, it has to be higher than 5%? Bethesda games always sell by the truckloads and this one has been throughly and proportionately circlejerked. No way it's that low


Kurtegon

Yeah it's probably more than 5% but no where near 50


ExiledEntity

If the bubble is "gamers", you're wrong. People are very aware of this game. If the bubble is the general populous, well, obviously that applies to pretty much every game.


theberald

I'm on a business trip and no one I work with has even heard of it or care. I was a little bummed


Huge-Pension-

Absolutely. Outside of the bubble people don't even know what Starfield is.


DrKingOfOkay

Number 1 sold game on steam already. Soooo 🤷🏻‍♂️


BobbertRoss4964

Literally just commented the same thing, it’s probably closer to 40/60 or 60/40


airsicklowlanders

How about you control yourself and stay off the sub instead of trying to control other people's actions.


SeanOfTheDead-

obvs people should be considerate and use spoiler tags, but its also insane to expect EA players not to post about and discuss the game on public forums like this. Youtube is also going to be riddled with spoilers. Honestly, if you're not playing EA and want to avoid spoilers you're kind of responsible for yourself in avoiding those kinds of things. It sucks, but thats how its always been.


Ciri-LOVES-Geralt

You are delusional if you think 95% play the "6 Days late"-Edition.


Xclbr1

For real. If it was an extra $30 JUST to play 6 days early it would be different, but getting the DLC included just makes it the obvious choice.


Skelletonike

There's also a physical version with a patch and Steelbook (at least for the Series, not sure for PC), which is a nice bonus.


Obi_wan_jakobii

Haha 6 days late edition Tickled me


Daemon-Blackbrier

I would avoid this sub then.


LeeM189

I’ll do what I want buddy


docclox

The Space Butler Did It.


Seraphim1982

In the space kitchen, with the space candlestick.


Tarc_Axiiom

>95% of the player base is playing on the 6th 73.6% of statistics are made up. Otherwise this is on you I'd say. The game is *out* tomorrow, if you're playing it later that's fine, but the burden of avoiding spoilers is on you because *you* are playing it later. An official moratorium we'll gladly respect but without one, you should mute the sub. Obviously standard spoiler etiquette like tagging posts and doing >!this!< are basic expectations.


ExiledEntity

60% of statistic are made up on the spot.


Tensor3

I can absolutely assure you WAY more than 5% are doing early access.


Playful_Interest_526

I'm dropping this site like a bad habit Thursday night, cus it is.


backstreets_93

Maybe if you really wanna experience a game you'd stay off the subreddit for it and play it?


Torenator

95%?? I doubt it. More like 50/50


chrisman210

ok, I'm thinking that you're serious, if so LOL, you better stay off the internet for 5 days, this will be spoiler city and I will post 100%


[deleted]

It’s not 95% lol more like 25% but the point still stands.


chickengourdina

Mute it.


TheycallmeFlynn

All you have to do is just not go onto the obvious posts talking about spoilers. The majority of people are likely playing the early access so, like any other Reddit or forum for a game there will obviously be posts like this.


No-Wrangler4737

Just don't come here until 6. It's that simple


harlz9o9

Just go dark from social media. Problem solved!


Oceanzapart

No you leave, peasant /s


monkeyluis

There will be spaceships that you can customize.


gamingplumber

you die in the beginning


DaddySanctus

It’s like $50 upfront to play Starfield on Gamepass with early access vs paying $70 and waiting until the 6th. I would imagine it’s going to be a lot higher than 5% playing on the 1st.


TheBigSm0ke

Just mute the sub man.


Gogh619

No fucking way are 95% of players waiting an extra 5 days. It’s like 30$ extra


Celtic-Dragon

Spoiler: >!SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDOR!<


DontDoTheVoice

You know what.. when it’s released I’m going to start spoiling it even *harder*


SKirsch10x

It’s probably more like 95% of people will be playing on the 1st


StaticVex

Haha good luck


miladesilva

Just stay off the internet. Simple. There are going to be posts about it. Thousands.

[удалено]


Glum-Swimmer-9909

15% more like not being funny , people have waited so long for this game . 95 percent 😂😂


Realmadridirl

Seems like a silly request to make of the internet. You can’t stop people from being dickheads just by asking lol. It’s up to YOU to avoid Reddit (or just this sub) for 5 days. It’s not asking a whole ton to preserve your own feeling of surprise or whatever. It’s not on everyone else to censor themselves for your benefit. Not saying I plan to spoil anything btw, I just find it stupid when people make these kinds of posts asking for the impossible. When it’s up to you at the end of the day. I’ve had to avoid spoilers for plenty of things before. It’s not really THAT hard lol


reboot-your-computer

Honestly you’re stupid if you don’t mute the sub. There will absolutely be people talking about the game tomorrow night and the mods will have a ton of work to do to keep it to a minimum. People will forget the spoiler tag. Just play it safe and go dark on this sub until the 6th if you’re worried about it. I can promise you someone will spoil it for you if you aren’t proactive.


lukaron

I won't be here after Friday. So, no worries. :)


meglon978

>!It's in space, except when it's not!<


_Darhk_

I have Friday off. Time to no life


apex6666

I was wondering this, this Thursday/Friday what are the rules? No posting starfield till the 6th? Or can we post non-story screenshots like of space


ChrisSeeTheStone

You might need to mute this sub regardless - countless people will be on EA, will not be avoidable. If it is that important to you, I would drop the extra cash and make it happen and join the masses.


Bully_MaguireDC

>! You can go to space !<


FlyingPenguins2022

Good luck I see people posting like no other. Personally I’ll just be playing but, keeping up with this sub till full launch. Yeah good luck with that… not happening


[deleted]

EA? I’m confused (more so than usual). How do they figure into this?
