For all the complaints about Starfield, being Bethesda-buggy wasn't really one of them. It was possibly their most polished release.

Are you not from the same reality as me?

Not saying there weren't bugs, but the consensus seemed to be that it was the most polished, bug-free title they've ever launched.

Edit: ...which is a pretty low bar, I know. But it seemed more inline with the bugs that most "AAA" games tend to have at launch.

Did you even play it, or are you just jumping on the hate bandwagon? It's hardly perfect, but I literally didn't find any significant bugs in over 20 hours of playtime. The game has plenty of fundamental issues certainly, but the bugs are more of a meme than anything.

I did play it, thank you, and it did have multiple bugs I've experienced in previous games.

Literally the first time I played it, the very first planet told me I wasn't supposed to be seeing it.

And I waited a year to buy it.

Did that have any effect on your game? Minor UI issues are pretty common in plenty of games, I personally can't see that as much of an issue. Certainly not the game-breaking bugs of launch Oblivion and Skyrim

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes. It affected my enjoyment of the game.

On my first playthrough, once I got the quest to find the first space temple it bugged, with the quest marker pointing to a specific place in a planet, but no temple spawning there. I had to start a new game as I didn't have any saves from before starting that quest. Not fun.
