Starfield - Bethesda's new space IP: will probably be full of fun and easily trackable bugs

How do you think Starfield will turn out?

Calling Starfield this year's trainwreck is giving it too much credit honestly. We've seen the same shit with No Man's Sky, Cyberpunk and even one of Todd Howard's last games, Fallout 76. Starfield is just going be just as much of a failure as these, and then RKO outta nowhere like Randy Orton, the game will be fixed and then the consoomers will finally say "it's good again" as if they have amnesia and have never remembered anything that was terrible and buggy about the game in the first place. It's the same song and dance number we've seen before.
I see much less hype about starfield than for NMS or CP2077. most normalfags are also still stuck in gay bear sex simulator which is the current FOTM.

less hype = lower expectation, which also means a good chance it will simply be ignored by tards that get their news via official shill channels...

They didn't hype it up like Keanu with Cyberpunk, but I think they did make a point of Terence Stamp, Max Von Sydow and Christopher Plummer doing voices in Elder Scrolls before release. Also Liam Neeson in Fallout 3.
that's just "hey that celebrity you like is in the game", and for money reason they tend to have minor roles to begin with. CP2077 is written around keanu, and they basically put him in the game as is.
EDIT: thinking about it it's even less than that, ESO has kate beckinsale, bill nighy, peter stormare, alfred molina and john cleese just doing voices (plus lynda carter, michael gambon and malcom mcdowell)

to be fair, i did like his work on KOTOR 2. he hated the way the star wars universe was build and set out to tear it a new asshole.
And did so in the most reddit way possible with his 3deep5me self inser kreia. And just like with Ulysses, most of his arguments he presents through his self inserts are fucking retarded if you arent 14 years old.

A few people who got a review code copy have posted some of their first impressions. Apparently, even 15 hours in, they haven’t experienced any bugs.

They’ll probably find them later on, but that’s reassuring to hear.

I'm not believing it until I play the game with my own hands. Buuuuullshit that everything from Morrowind to Fallout 4 have the same exact fucking bugs, but their most ambitious game yet has nothing.
 
I'm genuinely the luckiest player ever, because the only bug I've ever experienced in a bethesda game was the infamous Blood On The Ice issue in Skyrim. Well that and the time I broke new vegas by somehow getting out of the fort after beating Lanius, but before the final dialog kicked in. Everytime I looked at the sky box it fuckin fractured into a kaleidoscope and the textures would stretch across the screen, and there's was always "an enemy nearby". But maybe the new vegas issue was a result of Obsidian biting off more than they could chew like usual.

My heart goes out to the rest of you who apparently experience bugs or crashes every 30 seconds. :story: I'm sure there will be a mod patch to take it from "literally unplayable" to "after 8k hours I can confidently say this is literally unplayable".
 
Fallout 76 never got redeemed in the public eye; I see the occasional player calling out, "it's better now" like a forlorn voice in the wilderness, but for the 99% it's a joke at this point. Cyberpunk wouldn't have recovered from its shitfest if not for that anime making normies decide they loved it; the game has had bugs fixed, but the overall mediocrity of its design is still in full force. Maybe the overhaul with the DLC will help that, guess we'll see. NMS did legit have a night and day series of updates to implement things like multiplayer that had been falsely promised at the start, but it's still a game about wandering around a bunch of sameish procedural planets. And Outer Worlds, it started off strong the first few weeks because the first world was pretty big with a lot of quest lines, the space station was also pretty decent... but then people got to the following planets and found how boring and empty they are, and noticed that every woman is basically a cloned short-haired lesbian so it went downhill fast to the current bad rep it's got today.
 
Take with a huge grain of salt, but one guy who received a review code was able to share a few thoughts having played the first few hours.

There's a rumor that the reason for the delay from '22 to '23 was Microsoft going "lol no you're going to take a year to playtest and polish this shit", so it reportedly not being a bugfest doesn't surprise me much. Plus, I don't remember having many problems with FO4 around launch, outside of some optimization issues.

I'd believe that if they weren't so coy about showing literally anything. It's all ten seconds of whatever before a cut. The only live demo was some behind closed doors bought-and-paid-for media only affair from which zero information has come out about besides vaguely positive platitudes.
 
Even if you fix all the technical issues with CP2077, it's still got a dull, shitty story, with low freedom and is a bad RPG since you just play as Keanu's fleshlight the entire time. It's unironically a bad game even without the technical problems. I'm hoping that Starfield might just be a mediocre game.
The bugs were the one thing distracting you from the fact you're just playing a Ubigame with somewhat better writing.
I'm less optimistic about Starfield since my early Skyrim/Fallout experience with bugs had more annoying shit like quests breaking than funny physics glitches.

Jesus Christ, reddit is so fucking gay. The amount of people I see getting upset because the big daddy government faction aren't the "good guys" is pathetic.

Of course, they also end up being the retards who thought Imperials and Brotherhood of Steel were the "good guy" factions in Skyrim and Fallout 4.
It will never stop amusing me that the BOS became the designated 'good guys' of Bethesdas fallout, since their MO in every other game is literally
1) Do they have technology? If yes proceed to 3, if no proceed to 2.
2) Ignore them, shoot them if they annoy you, proceed to 4.
3) Rob them, shoot them if they resist, if where they live is technologically advanced, evict them.
4) Find new people, if new people are found, proceed to 1.

Eh, there was some good boy stuff going on in one of the console games I think. Before that there was the Brotherhood of Steel basically being a militia protecting people between Fallout 1 and 2 to honor the vault dweller, unless I'm mistaken, but I forget what caused the war between them and the NCR. The NCR wanted more tech or something, I believe, but I can't swear by it. It's been so many years.
 
It just goes to show you how fucking retarded a lot of people are.

In Oblivion, the Empire were "good". In Fallout 3, the BoS are "good". So let's not put our critical thinking hats on and just blindly treat them as good guys in all future games.

It will never not amuse me to see someone say the Institute are evil because they have robot slaves, but the Brotherhood are Good for killing the institute as if the Brotherhoods whole reason for doing it isn't because they hate synths and want them all destroyed.

I could almost get it with the Railroad. I mean, they still forcibly rewrite synth minds and shit and seem to value the robots over humans (which you would think would be the big thing redditards would take to as an allegory to worshipping niggers and minorities) but the vast majority of people seem to just default to "BoS good guys"

But yeah, it seems that redditards are lost without a prior game establishing anyone as the "good guy" and their programming is starting to crash.
