This weekend is all about Starfield for a lot of. Properly, a minimum of for individuals who bought one of many particular editions. Other people will simply have to attend for the usual version to go stay on September 6.
And simply because one of many greatest video games of the yr is dropping doesn’t suggest everyone seems to be taking part in it or will likely be taking part in it. There are different nice video games on the market, and never everyone seems to be into sci-fi.
Some like courting sims, technique video games, shooters, orc-slaughters, and even pet-rearing or animal husbandry titles. That is the wonderful thing about video video games: there’s one thing for everybody on the market – after which some!
This weekend, the VG247 crew is kicking balls round, donning a detective hat, celebrating a birthday, looking for banana milk, and consuming a lot of meals all through the lengthy vacation weekend.
James Billcliffe, Guides Editor – FIFA 23
Between Baldur’s Gate 3 and Starfield, I have been taking part in means too many good video games.
I’ve had sufficient of intriguing characters, complicated quests, and interesting fight. I’ve had sufficient of full experiences, wealthy with story and thriller, which do not waddle over – cap in hand – and ask for extra money by way of an in-game retailer always.
This weekend, all I would like is the smooth-brained serotonin of late-stage FIFA 23. All the little males are quick. I’ve heard of the groups they play for, and it makes me blissful after they rating a aim. Bliss.

Jim talked about banana milk in work chat earlier this week, and it has been on my thoughts ever since. I went right down to the retailers to attempt to discover some banana milk already a couple of days in the past, and consider it or not, I had no luck. Why the hell does not wherever close to me have banana milk? It does not really feel proper. So, this weekend I will seek out banana milk by any means potential and satiate that craving. I would even take a few of that Nesquik powder or these straws that flip your milk banana-flavoured, at this level. Both means, please want me luck on this explicit aspect quest.
Banana milk rant apart, it is no shock as to what I will be taking part in this weekend, and that is Starfield. I am not the most important fan of house video games, however I am unable to deny that I am eager to place some hours in and see what Bethesda’s thought of house is all about. Thus far, it is positively a gorgeous recreation, however I nonetheless cannot fairly work out whether or not it is my kind of recreation or not. Solely time will inform.
In between bursts of exploring house, I’ve deliberate to look at The Matrix Trilogy and Blade this weekend, spend a while catching up on what everybody else has to say about Starfield, and possibly – woefully – play some League of Legends.

I am taking a protracted weekend to very belatedly rejoice my thirtieth birthday (the actual one was in 2020 so… you recognize…), and regardless of Todd Howard’s finest makes an attempt, it isn’t going to be a Starfield-themed social gathering! In reality, I will be spending a couple of days away from my heftier gaming machines as a result of belief me, it is simpler to take me to see my entire prolonged household than to deliver all of them to mine; so I am going again to my present on-the-go recreation which is Detective Pikachu.
Sure, the one on the Nintendo 3DS. This playthrough truly predates the latest announcement of a long-awaited sequel for launch this autumn, though that did make for a cheerful coincidence.
Naturally, a birthday additionally means a go to to my Animal Crossing: New Horizons island to get lavished with compliments by digital critters for some time. Different video games do stuff in your birthday too, however I do not know if I can face the mess that’s my Genshin Impression save after I’m meant to be taking a couple of days to loosen up; whereas Honkai: Star Rail has simply introduced you can choose up your birthday mail with out taking part in in your precise birthday, so yay for that!

It can most likely come as a shock to a lot of you who’ve listened to me ooh and aah over Bethesda titles for the final 14 years that I’ve no plans to play Starfield this weekend – or any weekend, for that matter.

I will not say by no means – as a result of I could really feel down the street. However for now, I’ve no plans to play it. I am going to take Elder Scrolls or Fallout over it on any given day. That stated, I hope it sells thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of copies as a result of, effectively, I like Besthesda. It is not that I do not like different recreation firms. I want sucess for all improvement studios as a result of every makes our pastime higher and extra various. I really feel the identical about console makers too, regardless of preferring Xbox.
So, what do I plan to play over the weekend as an alternative of Starfield? I’m not positive simply but. It is a lengthy weekend right here within the States, with Labor Day on Monday, so I’ve three days to determine it out. I’d fireplace up LOTRO, Skyrim, The Wandering Village, Banished, or perhaps even choose up the place I left off in Diablo 4 (you recognize, so I do not get it confused with Diablo Immortal like I did that point I learn a press launch mailer flawed lmfao).
No matter I find yourself taking part in, it is going to be in between bouts of consuming some pretty grilles steak fajitas I plan on throwing collectively and having some jericalla for dessert (I am on a Mexican meals kick), and washing all of it down with some Patron margaritas. Apart from meals and gaming, I will likely be catching up on some much-needed sleep.
