That's not too high of a bar now is it.

Haaahahahahahahahahahahah. /crying; Good joke, now tell me another one.

"Matt, help us market the game, we need gamers to know they can trust us again after the Redfall disaster!"

"Say no more."

Fear.

I mean how would they know? Lol It's supposedly a hundred systems and a thousand planets. There's no way theyve really put it through the QA wringer yet.

Plus even with that gameplay deep dive I'm still not totally sure how travel works in space or atmosphere. We know the ground to space aspect is a loading screen but if I need to get from one planet to another is there a way to point and fly there like pulse in NMS or supercruise in E:D? Do we just have to select it on the map and gravity drive warps us in-system?

Do we just call in our ship whenever we want to leave the planet and it lands on the nearest available terrain? Do we have to walk all the way back to where we parked it? I feel like Bethesda is keeping those aspects under lock because they know their whole "go anywhere, do anything" mantra they've been spouting would look stupid as hell if you could only visit as far as you can walk or can't just cruise around the solar system. Only being able to pop into one instance or another through gravity drive. A bunch of local areas that they can claim is an open space sim.

Idk, I quit pre ordering and day 1 purchasing a decade ago, I'm just waiting to see what the results are once the game actually launches.

Say the same thing about the pasta salad you brought to the party and it doesn't go over very well

Riiiiiiight

So I'll be able to get all the way through chargen before the community patch comes out then? Nice! Still have to wait to actually play the game, but still!

Let's be fair. That is not a high bar to meet.

I remember so many game-breaking bugs in Arena that my gameplay looked something like this: get a piece of the staff ->> run into game breaking bug --> wait for the monthly PC mags with CD-rom with the next patch --> collect the next piece of the staff --> run into game breaking bug --> wait for PC mag with patch --> get new staff piece.... etc. You could say they inadvertently created the first game with episodic content.

Sure...

Yeah sure mr marketing manager, we definitely believe you. It's not like you've ever released extremely buggy games before.

I'll believe it when I see it lol

Does aren't bugs. It's a Bethesda's feature 😂

I really hope it’s true. But I won’t believe it until it’s released

This is just code for "it's going to be a buggy barely playable mess on release"

Starfield has "the fewest QA that any game from Bethesda has ever shipped with" is how I read it.
