That's very encouraging to hear! To be honest reviews above 7/10 was a bit of surprise as overhyped games have odds stacked against them. I recently got a 12 month game pass code from BT Broadband. I will activate once I have finished Hogwarts and it's properly autumn. Then I can immerse myself in Starfield and play it when the living room is a bit dimmer!
Once I find some time, I'l search via GamesPass.Get and play Persona 5 Royal. You'll thank me later.

Play a new franchise is a big time commitment. Some games genuinely take 4-12 hours to properly get into and then grind to completion at 60-150 hours.
The game is very stable, the year delay was well worth it.
I found the beginning of the game to be paced a little slow, but right after character creation it starts picking up. I'm really enjoying the experience.
I'm probably 20 hours in and have been exploring - not even onto the second main mission yet (The Old Neighbourhood). Though I should probably be getting to that pretty soon.You are patient. I love openworld games and can play a new game obsessively. However, that excitement eventually falls off a cliff. Therefore, I now try to focus on main quests and not do too many side quests.It's a slow starter, but so was Skyrim. I'm super impressed so far - it feels stable with no silly bugs that I've seen (yet). I can easily see this being 500 hours
Like Starfield, incredibly. When big name games come out I typically wait, but Starfield would have been day one for sure. Like GTA6, Spider-Man 2, some games it's worth taking a gamble on. Sometimes you get a CP2077 (which turned out to be fantastic, eventually) and sometimes you get a Gollum (I didn't play it but heard it was atrocious). RDR2 and Witcher 3 I played at least a year after release and avoided spoilers as much as I could, it takes patience but at least the bugs are reduced and the game is generally more balanced.
I Agrér. Som games Arne worth platina from day one - especially if you want to play competitively online or avoid spoilers on euro gamer, YouTube, tiktok etc. GT6 will likely be purchased digitally like FS as it a “core” game that I will likely play for 5-10 years.We have very different purchasing strategies. Not knocking yours - I'm glad it works for you. I am digital only so re-sale is not an option, but I also don't typically buy games at release either. I have the base PS+ tier and Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions which gives me plenty of content, some of which is good.
I have considered going back to physical media for the next iteration but then I don't know for how much longer they'll be producing it anyway.
Did you play Skyrim? I must have had 500+ hours into that. I can see Starfield turning out the same, based on first impressions. But then there seems to be better content overall these days. I played through Skyrim several times. There is more competition in the open world space so less incentive to play the same game for a second or third alternate play through. Tbat's a good problem to have though.
Tough call. Skyrim looks a little dated but has a huge amount of mods and the adventure element is fantastic - get the “Special Edition". Swords and magic over lasers and spaceships - play both, doesn't really matter which order.
They're not in the ship's inventory, not in my inventory , not in any of the crew's inventory. 
Same, though I landed at new atlantis, with the stated goal of selling the stuff I don't think I need. Excess weapons and most stuff in the misc category. I was in full fallout mode when I started this game and picked up everything, only to find out its not really needed.
In all honesty, if the game got weird, it probably wouldn't appeal to many players. I'm still early on in the game, I took a diversion to get a new ship, but once I'm done cleaning up my inventory, I'll be heading back to the sol system
