I will say once more. Do not preorder video games. It could be shit, it could be buggy, but what it won't do is run out of copies. Wait until the reviews are out, or even a bit after it launches if you can. If you're anything like me you have hundreds of games you haven't played yet so what's an hour or a day in the grand scheme of things.
It’s a Bethesda game. It wouldn’t feel right if it were bug-free.
A news article was released today that said starfield is the least buggy Bethesda game to date. Fluff but man that sure puts some expectations out there to live up too.
I hope I will be pleasantly surprised then!
Honestly, with how long it's been in development, I can totally believe it. And sure hope so. I mean, it's been so long and I've also been constantly thinking about how long it's been since Skyrim came out (since it's been publicly stated that TES6 was blocked behind Starfield). All that time has gotta mean something. And it's not like Bethesda doesn't have great talent. I've always got the impression it was all a matter of lack of time for the size of the game.
