Gameplay? When did they show gameplay?
The last video I remember seeing was the announce video.

Yeah. I'm betting Spiderman 2 will take a hit if it's too close to Starfield. Just a huge, huge game incoming. Hype will be massive the week of release.No way they were going to model 1000 planets by hand. They're AI generated though against certain guardrails, and then devs go over each one to ensure they're good and consistent.
Looks like the best solution for having tons of extra planets to explore.
Spiderman 2 isn't releasing on any platform where you can play Starfield. No idea how your logic goes...that Steam or Xbox players will put down Starfield because of a PS5 exclusive title?

You're wasting your time, then. When was the last time you beat a Bethesda game in a day?

No. I was away from gaming for nearly 1 year, it might have released during that period. But YT searches only show the announce video.

It's not to beat the game, but rather play it !. I'm in my mid 40's and all I want to do after a 12hr shift is have my food and go to bed. Not be doing that come 6/9/2023 my stardate is all set

Does Microsoft themselves release bug free games? No.

Hi Fi says Hi. Just off my head..
I’m not sure anybody releases bug free games, to be fair
Team Andromeda

Does any corp? I'll give credit to Nintendo they're the best and limiting the bugs in their games and they're the best in the business at it, but even their games have bugs.
Also, I can't think of any openworld game that didn't ship with bugs, can you?

A bit downgraded from the release trailer but that was expected. I hoped for more gameplay than in-rails running and throwing spears.
I wanted to see the combat to see how different (or evolved) it is from the first game.

No, I am just setting expectations - people thinking Microsoft will suddenly make Bethesda studios release bug-free games is misguided imo

That’s definitely not in the same ball park as a creation engine open world game tho - and didn’t it have several (admittedly minor) issues on release?

I don't, but I also don't expect an open world game to be bug free either

Show me where Starfield touched you."The Giant Hit" is still not able to get millions of views on the video, where they announce the most important thing - the release date

Yes so that’s fine. I’m talking to the people who are acting like if this game isn’t bug free it’s some sorta disaster when it most assuredly will have bugs and that’s to be expected

Most games launch with bugs,especially open world games like this.
People are just getting excuses in so they can lable the game bad or a flop. They know there will be bugs, thats why they are saying stuff like that. Its cringy but fanboys will be fanboys.

Nope. It doesn't mean that. They've got way more studios now, and need to sell more consoles, so they don't necessarily have to hold back software that's ready for release.
"The Giant Hit" is still not able to get millions of views on the video, where they announce the most important thing - the release date
And yet it's the top most wishlisted game on Steam.
You know, you could always save up the $249 and pick up a Series S so you don't have to make posts like this.
Xbox was the dominant launch week platform for Skyrim.
Steam is a much bigger platform these days, and Xbox consoles are significantly down over the Xbox 360 heydays, but I expect Starfield to sell very well on Xbox too...especially if the game lives up to expectations.

Yeah I’m not saying it’ll bomb, just that I doubt we’ll see Skyrim sales numbers, I think a multiplat release is needed for that to happen.
Player numbers should be high though going by past big releases. Found a website that said FH5 player count was 28mil (!)

Skyrim is 12 years old, has released on eevrything possible in those years, has had multiple different versions, and a couple of years ago hit around 40mil.
Of course Starfield isnt going to get those nuimbers. Its a new IP without a brand behind it, is only on 2 systems (3 if you could XSX and XSS as seperate), and is on Gamepass.
Like i said earlier in the thread, if 5 years from now Starfield has hit 20mil actual SALES (not player numbers)_, it will of done great.
Anyone saying otherwise is just talking bollocks for ulterior motives to be honest.

Yeah FH5 passed 28 million players some time ago, I think MS will be basing success on these sort of statistics rather than pure sales now Gamepass is over 25 million subs .
Obviously it will sell millions on Steam and they will if they have any sense release an upgrade option for Gamepass owners like they did for FH5 for early access and DLC. That did really well for FH5.

Very excited for this game. Gonna take two days off to power through it. Gonna be fun.

Yeah they’ll be on Twitter posting the player count no doubt. It’s good PR. And yeah they should have a Deluxe Ultra Special Edition released a week or so earlier. Hopefully not just for GP users, I’ll be on Steam.

I mean, at least we're not getting another Cyberpunk launch... Rather get a polished product.

I'm not saying this to port beg (I have a PC to play this if I want to), but I really do expect to see Starfield on Sony systems in the next five years. Hell maybe Nintendo too, depending on what their next console is like.
Now you will remember that Cyberpunk had multiple delays including some right up to release.

Then they are tossers and not gamers. No openworld game, ships without bugs and anyone who games, knows this to be true

You're insane to think Bethesda will release a polished product at launch lol
Roberts

They released a patch or two after the release, so I guess some people experienced tiny issues, but it is probably the most polished game I have played day1 in the recent years. Grounded 1.0 was also super polished.
How so? Something for the holidays?

Wrong forum buddy, Bryank75 is not here to protect you. Cope harder."The Giant Hit" is still not able to get millions of views on the video, where they announce the most important thing - the release date

That’s extremely unlikely to happy, not least for the fact that it sends a certain message ahead of ES6 release.
But we’ll see.
Weird seeing all the talk of Cyberpunk. Even launch Skyrim at its most buggy didn’t arrive as broken as that title.

There’s no way on earth they’ll canibalize their first party games that. Way. Forza is probably the only other game that will release this year if ABK closes. Because you’ll have forza cod and starfeild to close the year. Everything else will be pushed to next year which makes sense hold hb2 back for top of 2024.

Sure, if MS moves to make these games multiplatform, ES6 which is probably a 2029-2031 game at this point, will be part of that.
I don't think Starfield will be as buggy as Cyberpunk, I am just saying that a delay does not equal polish.

If this game releases in a buggy state, then I will question why Fallout 76 exists. Because I've always considered that game as a necessary sacrifice/learning lesson for them to improve their ways to navigate around that engine as much as possible.

No. Bug free games are rare:
