I feel like BG3 had more bugs for me than Starfield, but BG3 is the better game by far even considering that.

Larian and owlcat for me. I have enjoyed pathfinder WoR and Divinity original sin 2/Baldurs gate 3 far far more than fallout 4 and Starfield.

In two years they can get the award for “best ongoing game” then, just like Cyberpunk :D

Thank corporate morons forcing devs to the door to meet ridiculous timelines, they don’t give a fuck if it’s ready or not.

I’m a SWE and my manager would tell me shit like “even Apple pushed out the iPhone with some bugs”, “at some point you have to wrap it and ship it”, etc. Mgmt uses this bullshit to feel better about their (or their bosses) poorly balanced priorities and decisions.

It’s all about announce early, bag as much interest and money as possible and then ship it regardless if it’s reached the definition of done or not (you better believe mgmt will throw those goalposts around as they see fit)

Pre-ordering morons hold some blame here as well as they play right into the bullshit I’m talking about

why the surprise? as long as people keep buying they will try to squize more money for less effort.

I'm gonna wait for the Ultra Game of the Year Turbo Deluxe edition Complete

i didnt play new vegas until the ultimate edition was 5 bucks at wal mart. thankfully avoiding the horrid bugs it had on launch

Putting your faith in a fable game to live up to expectations is a terrible move.

Insane that wasnt in the list of "must ship" features

If you too have an unhealthy relationship with absurdly long video essays, I'd point you in the direction of PatricianTV's Starfield analysis.

I think people would hate it again, seeing how they hated Starfield that is also procedural.

Last months patch did a lot for optimization, especially on the cpu and non amd gpu builds, seeing double digit gains.

Honestly I let my Gamepass lapse and was considering re-upping it to play Starfield. And now I am for sure not going to re-up it for Starfield. Maybe I’ll visit it in a few years, but it sounds like not a great time from Nakey Jakey’s review on it.

Friiiiick I miss freelancer so much. Best space sim to date.

Reminder that Todd wanted to release this last year, imagine the state it was in lol

Part of the reason why Bethesda games visually looks bad is because their tied to the hip with creation engine for modders to use. Part of the reason why bethesda games have soo many mods is because of how much of the games engine is open to modders to modify.
