The lack of actual continuous gameplay being shown is kinda alarming this close to release (self.starfield)

I mean, we never got more than half a minute of gameplay before they jumped to something totally different. Nothing to gauge what the actual gameplay loop is like and how all those systems feed into each other. The bigger previews are all kept under closed doors and hush-hush.

I am not saying it is end of the world, I will still buy the game Day 1 since it is Bethesda, but it is kind of unheard of to have no actual gameplay showcased so close to the release in modern gaming era. It definitely do not radiates confidence in the game from MS. It is supposed to be their big game, yet they just show bits here and there

I’ve not played any Bethesda games day one, but from all I’ve heard it will either be a shot show or the best game ever and no in between.

I’m just glad it’s on game pass.

Daddy Todd said that they were learning from other game releases (*cough* Cyberpunk2077 *cough*) and wanted to avoid making the same mistake.

On one hand thats good in terms of promises, but it really spells bad newa for the company if its still a shitshow after those statements.

There will be bugs. Lots of them. If there is no progress halting bug in the game someway halfway through the main quest, that will be miracle and I will question whether it is Bethesda game at all. All bethesda games are bugfests on release, but at least they give the community keys to the game and then we got unnoficial patches, that fix like thousands and thousands of bugs over time

Eh, if it disappoints at launch I’ll sink back into AC VI and get S rank on most levels. Hopefully by then they would’ve fixed starfield enough so it’s playable.
