It is nice to be a patient gamer. I recently bought Cyberpunk and I'm enjoying it. I will get Dragon Dogma's 2 when it comes out of beta.
That's what I'm doing for starfield, and even a game like BG3. Wait until it's been a year of patches, etc.
I'm not saying don't try it, because some people do like it, but I don't think Starfield will ever be worth the time it takes to play, let alone having to pay for it too. It absolutely does not respect the player's time, and there's no content in it that I saw that's worth playing. I didn't see anything when I played, but I think I've seen just about everything after watching a stupid number of videos discussing the game. None of it is particularly interesting (in fact, I think most of it is fundamentally uninteresting because they weren't willing to ask how their universe could be different from our own).
BG3 though is absolutely worth playing whenever you decide to play it. I don't think it's getting a DLC because Larian said they're working on something new and unrelated now, but it'll probably still see some patches and the price will come down, as well as more mods being available.
I liked it for one playthrough. After the end game I couldn't bring myself to start again.
There were some great levels.
The abandoned ice prison was great.
And uhhhh.... well no other ones are currently in my memory. That can't be a bad sign, can it?
Man that zero-g casino could have been so cool. But it was just... nothing-y.
I recently bought the OG Dragon's Dogma for $6. There are a ton of QoL and fun mods that improve gameplay, no DRM crap, and the game performs really well overall. Zero reasons IMO to buy DD2 right now and put up with an inferior experience and Denuvo.
