This weekend is all about Starfield for a lot of. Nicely, no less than for many who bought one of many particular editions. Other people will simply have to attend for the usual version to go dwell on September 6.
And simply because one of many largest video games of the 12 months is dropping doesn’t suggest everyone seems to be enjoying it or might be enjoying 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 plenty of meals all through the lengthy vacation weekend.

Between Baldur’s Gate 3 and Starfield, I have been enjoying manner too many good video games.
I’ve had sufficient of intriguing characters, advanced 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 through an in-game retailer always.
This weekend, all I need is the smooth-brained serotonin of late-stage FIFA 23. The entire little males are quick. I’ve heard of the groups they play for, and it makes me pleased after they rating a purpose. Bliss.

Jim talked about banana milk in work chat earlier this week, and it has been on my thoughts ever since. I went all the way down to the outlets to attempt to discover some banana milk already a couple of days in the past, and imagine it or not, I had no luck. Why the hell would not wherever close to me have banana milk? It would not really feel proper. So, this weekend I’ll seek out banana milk by any means attainable and satiate that craving. I might even take a few of that Nesquik powder or these straws that flip your milk banana-flavoured, at this level. Both manner, please want me luck on this explicit aspect quest.
Banana milk rant apart, it is no shock as to what I will be enjoying this weekend, and that is Starfield. I am not the largest fan of house video games, however I can not deny that I am eager to place some hours in and see what Bethesda’s concept of house is all about. Thus far, it is positively a wonderful 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 observe 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 true one was in 2020 so… you realize…), and regardless of Todd Howard’s finest makes an attempt, it is not going to be a Starfield-themed social gathering! The truth is, 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 convey 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 contented 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 Affect save after I’m meant to be taking a couple of days to loosen up; whereas Honkai: Star Rail has simply introduced that you would be able to decide up your birthday mail with out enjoying in your precise birthday, so yay for that!

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 will take Elder Scrolls or Fallout over it on any given day. That stated, I hope it sells hundreds of thousands and hundreds of 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 passion higher and extra diversified. I really feel the identical about console makers too, regardless of preferring Xbox.
So, what do I plan to play over the weekend as a substitute 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 would hearth up LOTRO, Skyrim, The Wandering Village, Banished, or perhaps even decide up the place I left off in Diablo 4 (you realize, so I do not get it confused with Diablo Immortal like I did that point I learn a press launch mailer improper lmfao).
No matter I find yourself enjoying, it is going to be in between bouts of consuming some beautiful 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. Aside from meals and gaming, I might be catching up on some much-needed sleep.
