I think it's probably going to be fine, even if it does have some bugs.
But I'm not buying it on release week or probably even month anyway so it won't burn me if it isn't.

You could just try it on gamepass (10€ for a month ).
If it sucks, you still have a huge choice of other great games to play
This sounds about right.
It's a Bethesda game. I fully expect it to be buggy as heck and be kind of janky. It'll probably still be fun though. Personally, I'm gonna wait for a remaster release on whatever Xbox system comes next. It'll probably be really good by then. I have a PS5 and not an Xbox series x, so I can wait. I'm not gonna buy a system for a game that likely won't play well for a while. There are plenty of other great games out there to play while I wait.
I think one thing to remember is that it's going to be on the XBox Game Pass when it releases. So if you are subscribed to that, you can download it for free and play it before you decide whether to get it or not.
Though, given it's supposed to be 125 GB, I'm seriously wondering if I want to dedicate that much storage space on my XBox Series S to it...
Im super hyped about the game. preordered the deluxe edition to get the predatory 5 days early access that lands over a 3 day weekend...
It's going to be janky. The preorder bonus skins will be garbage. It's going to be a bad PC port that has issues with FPS and performance... They probably broke the cardinal rule and linked the physics to the frame rate and it's going to fuck everything up... Youre probably going to have load screens when you enter/leave your ship or any building just like every TES/Fallout game...
Still excited for it!
fully agree but only because this is just how games are now. people keep buying them so there is no push to make a decent product. they'll release it and maybe after a decade it'll be okay. just like Skyrim and Cyberpunk and everything else.
The scope of the game is too big for Bugthesda to deliver. It's litteraly 2 games in one, Fallout + No Man's Sky, how can anyone believe it's not gonna be the biggest bugfest of all time?
Let's say that somehow, Bethesda finally release a game which doesn't need modders to fix it, we all know they overpromessed and overhyped it. Planets are gonna be tiny instances, not fully open, otherwise they would have shown vehicles to travel on them.
I would love Starfield to be everything they promess but considering the history of Bethesda, you can't trust Todd lies again.
It might end up as a cyberpunk 2077 kind of launch but, who are we kidding it's Bethesda. It won't be perfect day 1 but, soon after it'll be good.
Every game that Bethesda releases is buggy as hell and worth waiting to buy. This will be no different.
Considering the bugs they didn't hide in showcases and footage, I've gotta agree.
There's footage of the player character's head clipping through their spaceship when they exit it. The planetoid they showed for the lighting had the lighting at the incorrect angle for the arch. On the storepage is a character's hand clipping through their gun. No doubt their entire team of workers spotted these flaws, but still waved it through.
This is either two things; This is the most jank, broken game ever... It's actually really well-made, and they're incredibly confident with the gameplay that such minor errors are minuscule compared to the fun factor.
