Man, "15 hours in and not a single bug." I love Bethesda, but I feel like that's an incredibly bold claim to make and that his definition of bug is probably a bit loose. I wish they wouldn't make this big of a hubbub about it and just let the game speak for itself if it's really that solid.

That's such a low bar that it's clipped through the floor.

Least buggiest? Are we just giving up on English, "journalists?"

The author is basing this claim on feedback from FIVE people who have been playing the game. If Bethseda are only expecting a similar number to play it once it's released, then this is a useful metric. Otherwise it's meaningless.

"Redfall is looking awesome, it has Arkane's best gunplay yet."

"You won't find any bugs if you don't do any QA"

-Todd Howard probably

I have like zero hype for this game, and absolute bangers of games have dropped recently. I'm definitely going to put this on the "maybe" list and let other people test it out for me, I'm in no rush.

Your daily reminder to not preorder. Least buggiest is not a high bar, TBH.

That's a really low bar NGL

I'm going to wait for launch and reviews for sure

I'm a little disappointed I was looking forward to Skyrim bugs in Space

Pressing x

What a sales pitch!

IIRC didn't Microsoft hold the game back specifically to ensure it didn't launch in a horrific state? Bethesda games are known for being a nightmare at launch, and even with these assurances, I'm still expecting the first few weeks to be a mess. That being said, if any Bethesda game was going to launch well, it would be this one.

That title hurts my eyes!

Least buggy*

I don't believe you.

No fatal accidents in this workplace in over 30 days!

I'll believe it when I see it.

I mean even Skyrim ran pretty nice, till you started playing it long enough to start finding the bugs and jank. Of course, it helped that it had all the familiar jank from the previous games.

That's not much of a brag. Just because the monsters in this game won't mysteriously fly off into space only to reappear right behind you seconds later, doesn't mean we should celebrate.

Just love the pre-release reviews being all "this is shit" when the game hasn't even released yet.

I see the npcs still have the signature Bethesda empty stare… is that a stylistic choice or do they just suck at face mocap?

Least buggy?

Guess journalists are forgetting how to grammar.

Do the NPCs in this game give anyone else a sort of uncanny valley feel

This just in: the least-stinky shit you ever took still smelled like shit

For anyone who may have forgotten or may not know: the game is a day 1 launch on game pass. I already have it preloaded and I didn't preorder. You can easily see how buggy the game is for yourself next week.

I think we've all learned our collective lesson at this point (or at least, we should have) not to over-hype games, nor to pre-order them.

I'm going to have to temporarily move in with my dad in October potentially for a few months, should be some decent reviews in by then so I'm looking forward to killing time with this game!
