With Starfield in the hands of media and creators, there's been one question I've wanted answered for months - Is Starfield full of bugs?

Bethesda never disappoints!

Can’t tell if this is damning with faint praise, or just an incredible self own

If the best praise their PR people have to put forward is that it’s not quite as horrifically buggy as previous Bethesda games, that’s… not a great sign; Microsoft paid $7.5B for ZeniMax in large part so that this specific game would be an Xbox exclusive, if it’s not the level of masterpiece that gets people to buy Xboxes just to run it then it’ll be one of their biggest fails since Clippy.

Eh, I’d say that’s pretty good in context. Bethesda has, for the most part, put out very successful games. Bugs and Bethesda are pretty synonymous though, and that this is on the less buggy side is something to quell hot takes of “Bugfield” before people even touch it. And I think the embargo restricts deeper comments on the game, so these may he the only comments we get for a few more days.

I still couldn’t limbo under the bar that sets. The bugs in Bethesda games are usually not game-breaking (in my experience), but they are legion.

They are usually fund-inducing bugs which are the best kind of bugs.

Take the mask off, Todd, we know it’s you!

Careful the devil doesn’t trip over that bar.

You don’t want to play in a sandbox with threeish worlds of actual content and another 900+ of randomly generated garbage missions/barren worlds/mass effect 1 terrain ‘exploration’?

As long as they’re not game breaking, that’s the best we can hope for. Or at least that they are entertaining bugs. With Skyrim, I admit after the patches I missed seeing flying mammoths and cows.

I remember encountering those giants outside whiterun on launch and having one yet me practically to dawnstar. It was hilarious and I wasn’t mad at all.

One of my followers got giant hammered and sent to space. My only reaction was “My stuff”.

My precious eidar cheese wheels!

I want an ant to somehow launch a planet into my spaceship

It just works!

When sky’s the limit, that’s not really reassuring.

But does it have 16x the textures?

To be fair, Bethesda games are a fucking train wreck at launch so this is like an article saying this is the dryest water they’ve ever made.

Starfield tastes like shit the least amount of any other Bethesda game!

This almost reads like an Onion headline.

Let’s hope it’s as good as they’re hyping it up to be. Until next week!

Yeah I call bullshit. Plus the least buggy game release ever for Bethesda really isn’t setting the bar high.
