I sincerely don't mind their balance between bugs and ambition, but all this shit has me terrified.

Oh no, what'd they break this time?

It's hilariously sad when you require a headline like that because of your previous games.

I feel bad for the teams that had to go into "double crunch" mode after BG3 came out. Just so they can get the game into not embarrassing shape for launch.

Based on their other games, that's the bare minimum we should expect

(x) doubt

In the case they are actually being honest, they could just be speaking relatively - which still doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in me that Starfield is going to be seamless and smooth at launch, or even a few months past launch.

In the case that they are just clearly lying, it's an intentional strategy: they're counting on the fact that they will gain more money from this than they will lose from people discovering it was a lie after the game launches.

Todd Howard should spend more time debugging and less paying for positive articles.

Yeah, because when you've used the same engine for the past 15 years, I'd expect you to iron out most of the issues by now.

I kid because I love. I'll play the fuck out of it regardless, but I'll almost be disappointed if this game isn't a glorious mess at launch.
