Tywele ( @Tywele@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English10•10 months agoWhy is everyone so negative in this thread? I didn’t take time off for the release but I bought the Premium version to get the early access so that I can play on the weekend.
As for bugs in Bethesda games: I’ve played every BGS game since Morrowind (except Fallout 76) and since Skyrim I also played them on release day and I never experienced any game breaking bugs. Most bugs I encountered were more funny than annoying and a minor inconvenience at most. And that’s applicable for almost all bugs in BGS games, yes they have bugs but most of them can be easily ignored because they don’t affect enjoyment of the game.
Echo Dot ( @echodot@feddit.uk ) English1•10 months agoHang on you can’t say “I’ve never experienced any bugs that are game breaking” and then go “oh but I also haven’t played 76”.
That whole game is one giant bug.
Isn’t there a way to glitch through the map into a dev zone, and then get every gun in the game?
bermuda ( @bermuda@beehaw.org ) English1•10 months agoYou’re using present tense for bugs that happened 5 years ago.
I played the game about a year ago and it was good. Very few bugs and a friendly community. Only downside from my perspective was poor optimization and a gigantic file size but I suppose thats to be expected from a multiplayer rpg.
Vlyn ( @Vlyn@lemmy.zip ) English7•10 months agoIt’s a Bethesda game, you’re lucky to make it out of the tutorial without running into a bug :)
So no rush at all to play it, I’m waiting for reviews (and the first ten patches).
Blapoo ( @Blapoo@lemmy.ml ) English7•10 months agoHow, in the year of our lord, 2023, do people still buy Bethesda games on launch!?
HOW MANY LEOPARDS MUST EAT YOUR FACE!?
emptyother ( @emptyother@programming.dev ) English5•10 months agoI should just have booked a 3 months vacation, with all the games coming out aug-oct.

muelltonne ( @muelltonne@feddit.de ) English3•10 months agoIt is a Bethesda game and we know how buggy they are on launch. I’m waiting a while until the worst bugs are resolved and maybe for the first sale hopefully around christmas time
BigBananaDealer ( @BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee ) English3•10 months agoi took work off a week after its real release but i cant wait to play it all weekend . doubt ill see any bugs as i didnt for fo4. this isnt like its an obsidian game we’re talking about😂
dan1101 ( @dan1101@lemm.ee ) English2•10 months agoI took a day off to play Distant Worlds 2 all day, no regrets at all it was a lot of fun.
misterfrumble ( @misterfrumble@programming.dev ) English2•10 months agoYou betcha! Need a break from work and a long weekend to play Starfield (at least while the kids are at school/asleep/otherwise occupied) comes at a great time.
Came here for the positivity. I’ll pretend all the negative nancies who will complain about ANYTHING Bethesda does no matter what are just shouting into the void.
Simonoid ( @simonoid@aus.social ) 2•10 months ago@Demigodrick I started a new job and don’t have enough banked 😭
I’ll spend many an evening playing ❤️💕 joesupportsukraine ( @joe90@mastodon.ie ) 2•10 months ago Oth ( @Oth@lemmy.zip ) English2•10 months agoI took some time off because I needed a break, not specifically for Starfield, but it definitely works in my favor and it’ll probably what I’m going to be spending a large chunk of time on.
Echo Dot ( @echodot@feddit.uk ) English2•10 months agoHopefully it’s good. But it’s a Bethesda game, so you’ll be lucky if walking into rocks doesn’t kill you.
I’d leave it at least a week if I were you. There is a 100% chance they’ll be a game-breaking bug on day one. And there is a 50% chance that they actually fix it on day one.
