(which, how does a game imply that it isn't buggy)

Oh, they didn't imply it, they had a whole PR thing going. This being their best-tested game ever and so on. My bare hour of non-cutscene gameplay, already managing to find several old favorite bugs... sort of doesn't add up with that.

I mean, it's perfectly fine to enjoy it. I just think a lot of perfectly legit criticism is met with excuses or weird hostility. JQ (again in a trademark over-the-top "character" that doesn't pull punches) is criticizing Starfield, not everyone's mother or something.

I wonder if some bugs are platform dependent. I've been on Series X, no issues that I can remember. There have been a few times looking for quest items, but I spammed them into inventory and didn't notice. I thought I had one with an invincible NPC, but he died in a low grav setting and just got stuck standing up.

What are you getting, just out of curiosity?

In my brief hour it's just been somersaulting corpses, "badly dubbed Chinese movie" vibes from facial animations being extremely out of sync, and possibly some dodgy collisions - or it might be my aim, or how the aim just seems weirder than in e.g. Fallout 4. The robot companion at the start also blocked me constantly in doorways and firefights at every turn, and that's literally been a meme since Skyrim. At this point I would consider those bugs.
