Man, "15 hours in and not a single bug." I love Bethesda, but I feel like that's an incredibly bold claim to make and that his definition of bug is probably a bit loose. I wish they wouldn't make this big of a hubbub about it and just let the game speak for itself if it's really that solid.

That's such a low bar that it's clipped through the floor.

Least buggiest? Are we just giving up on English, "journalists?"

The author is basing this claim on feedback from FIVE people who have been playing the game. If Bethseda are only expecting a similar number to play it once it's released, then this is a useful metric. Otherwise it's meaningless.

"Redfall is looking awesome, it has Arkane's best gunplay yet."

"You won't find any bugs if you don't do any QA"

-Todd Howard probably

I see the npcs still have the signature Bethesda empty stare… is that a stylistic choice or do they just suck at face mocap?

That's a really low bar NGL

I'm going to wait for launch and reviews for sure

Your daily reminder to not preorder. Least buggiest is not a high bar, TBH.

I'm a little disappointed I was looking forward to Skyrim bugs in Space

That title hurts my eyes!

Least buggy*

I don't believe you.

IIRC didn't Microsoft hold the game back specifically to ensure it didn't launch in a horrific state? Bethesda games are known for being a nightmare at launch, and even with these assurances, I'm still expecting the first few weeks to be a mess. That being said, if any Bethesda game was going to launch well, it would be this one.

No fatal accidents in this workplace in over 30 days!

That's not much of a brag. Just because the monsters in this game won't mysteriously fly off into space only to reappear right behind you seconds later, doesn't mean we should celebrate.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I mean even Skyrim ran pretty nice, till you started playing it long enough to start finding the bugs and jank. Of course, it helped that it had all the familiar jank from the previous games.

Just love the pre-release reviews being all "this is shit" when the game hasn't even released yet.

This just in: the least-stinky shit you ever took still smelled like shit

Least buggy?

Guess journalists are forgetting how to grammar.

Do the NPCs in this game give anyone else a sort of uncanny valley feel

It's hilariously sad when you require a headline like that because of your previous games.

For anyone who may have forgotten or may not know: the game is a day 1 launch on game pass. I already have it preloaded and I didn't preorder. You can easily see how buggy the game is for yourself next week.

(x) doubt

In the case they are actually being honest, they could just be speaking relatively - which still doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in me that Starfield is going to be seamless and smooth at launch, or even a few months past launch.

In the case that they are just clearly lying, it's an intentional strategy: they're counting on the fact that they will gain more money from this than they will lose from people discovering it was a lie after the game launches.

Oh no, what'd they break this time?
