Shouldn’t that be “least buggy” rather than “least buggiest”? Apparently this AI author skipped English class.

Bad ai ! Bad!

[-] leftzero@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Nah, it's like "least worst"; it'll still be more bugs than game, but (allegedly) slightly less than previous Bethesda releases.

[-] Exusia@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

"Least buggy" lmao. So it's still riddled with bugs then?

I'm glad to know that in 2023 you can have Elden Ring and Starfield cost the same budget, and will ask the same store shelf price. One of these is hailed as the "Least buggy" game the studio has ever managed to squirt out after selling the same fucking game 9 times in TWELVE YEARS. Its competition is celebrated for being a market leader for "you die in 3 hits lol". (And also lore in their games but that's beside the point)

I dont want starfield to fail, I want Bethesda to un-assfuck itself now that they're not run by Howard and make a great game worth the money. Zenimax has no reason to turn this game into Skyrim in Space unless Microsoft says to.

Would Spacerim be so bad, though?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Not at all! Would love to be able to spend a bunch of time space rimming! Might present a bigger challenge than sky rimming though, oxygen-wise 🤔

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Just hold your breath, you big complainer

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Not complaining, just preparing 🤷

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Isn't Bethesda still very much run by Howard though? He just has some MS oversight now.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

"Least buggiest Bethesda game" is sorta like "bestest Nickelback song" though..

[-] Chickenstalker@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Nothing wrong with Nickleback. I rather have Nickleback than mublecore.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Personally I dislike both, but went with Nickelback since they're a more well-known example and also because some of the people (not saying all or you specifically) railing against "mumble rap" do so with racist and/or "kids these days" boomer undertones that I didn't want to risk be a distraction from the joke 🤷

Oh would ya look at that “most smartest”

They originally planned to release it last year. But then Microsoft was like... How about not?

I'm hoping it's a full year of polish.

needed more microtransactions

[-] reddig33@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Those googly eyes in the screenshot tell a different story.

[-] Virkkunen@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

The author of the article bragged on twitter that he photoshopped the picture to make it seem like a bug. The unedited picture is also a screenshot from the old build of the game.

It's 100% misleading, the author just wants to rage-bait.

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No way that's a real screenshot, someone exaggerated the eyes quite a bit. NPCs in Starfield do look worse than other comparable games, but not that much worse.

EDIT: Yep, here's the unaltered screenshot.

[-] Afghaniscran@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

Least buggiest not least bug eyes

[-] Jyrdano@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, what’s with that NPCs eyes? Is this how they all are going to look? If so, yikes.

[-] vegskret@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

That's such a low bar someone should probably give James Cameron a call

[-] supercriticalcheese@feddit.it 7 points 1 year ago

Okay sources, that doesn't mean much let's wait until it's out though
