No game is bug free at launch or otherwise, there is always something to fix.

[@CaptainCollins]

true, but the amount and quality of them is the determining factor

[@evilsnowball]

I'm hoping Starfield is good when it launches, Bethesda kinda need a win.

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

Saying that a Bethesda is _"almost bug free"_ is like me saying that the Sunday football side I played for, some 20+ years ago, were going to win the Premier League. Using the same players. Who most would be in their 50's and upwards 8-))... *It just won't happen!*

[@CaptainCollins]

Look at the football team of "RB Leipzig" and you have exactly this story :P anomalies happen...

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

@@CaptainCollins If we were promoted every year, we'd take about 20 years to just get into the 3rd division in England. maybe longer 8-))...

[@CaptainCollins]

England is crazy :D

[@baneblackguard584]

if there is ever a Starfield 2 we already know it would be an absolute minimum of more than 10 years out. they've expressed a hope that Starfield remains active for the next 10 years like Skyrim did. I would expect instead for them to produce and endless stream of DLC, that's why they want it to remain active for so long.

[@CaptainCollins]

We'll see Starfield on at least 3 generations and various new consoles :D

[@MeerMusik]

According to different Online Sources, Bethesda already has updated the XBOX S / X Version with a Day 1 Patch (Version 1.7.23). 15 GB Update Size. As the Steam Preload is encrypted in 1 Gigabyte Chunks until September 1st 2AM CEST (Berlin), when it will be decrypted and unpacked: Personal guess is, the Steam Files already contain the updated Version 1.7.23 - unless there will be another Patch before the "Fake-Early-Access-Launch" of course. Be careful when looking for the Changelog, the Majority of Sites do not use a Spoiler Tag to hide Spoilers about the Mission Fixes etc.! #StaySafeStayHealthyEveryone :)

[@CaptainCollins]

Oh yeah, changelogs can tell you so much about the game, even about hidden stuff

[@Skedz33]

I'm just going to say, I'm looking forward to the bugs. I love buggy launches because its the ONLY time you can experience them. I would have loved to have played CP77 and had my guy T posing naked on a motorcycle. I trust Bethesda will fix the bugs eventually, but the early jank is a magical moment for any game.

[@CaptainCollins]

Yeah, we're (the stream) are already looking forward to those funny moments :D IF they happen...

[@ReinisIkass]

Looking forward to your Starfield videos!

[@CaptainCollins]

😍 thank you!

[@Tpachal]

I remember playing Skyrim on PS3 in all it's 30fps buggy glory and still having a ton of fun. I didn't experience any of the game breaking bugs luckily but there was some Janky-ness for sure. There are no other game studios out there that does what a Bethesda game does for me. Even Fallout 4, which is my least favorite single player Bethesda game, was still a lot of fun from start to finish. As long as Starfield is playable, I think I am going to enjoy it no matter what.

[@CaptainCollins]

That's the spirit! And the problem of the entire industry (that doesn't do it half as well...)

[@rrad3926]

Always down for more Star Trek mods!

[@CaptainCollins]

Yeah, right? :D

[@dotulord7775]

0:55 it's 10% of the planets that have some form of life in the form of plants and animals. Not even colonized. Only 4-6 planets are colonized throughout the game. Not counting the space ports.

[@CaptainCollins]

I knew the number was low. Hopefully you're not going to get constantly attacked at barren planets

[@dotulord7775]

@@CaptainCollins According to some of the leaks, which should always be taken with a grain of salt, random ships landing nearby to attack you is not a frequent occurrence, but is somewhat more common with a trait chosen at character creation that sees mercenaries hunting you down throughout your playthrough every so often. Honestly though I think the "tiles" thing about worlds is going to be a bigger issue, if it's really true.

[@steemlenn8797]

I will wait 2-3 years for the Ryzen 9000 s I can play modern stuff in 1080p on the APU. Current GPU are expensive because they are made for 4K which I don't use. Also Disk space lol. 200GB? And by then Starfield might be mostly bug free. At release? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@NepoznatYuspeedy]

It will just work. 😁

[@CaptainCollins]

yeah, we'll see :)

[@d3335]

Oehhhhhhhhhh 👀👀👀

[@CaptainCollins]

yep...

[@skriblar]

X4 ship mods. 😂

[@CaptainCollins]

you could do that!

[@gamingtonight1526]

People who get the game for free should NEVER be trusted 100%, with their comments!!

[@CaptainCollins]

I hope you refer to those other people, since I have to buy it myself :D

[@Paltse]

Bug free? Naah, they have only so many personnel at their disposal finding bugs, reporting bugs and fixing the bugs that when the general release comes the bugs that weren't noticed at first start to surface and then there are those bugs that are so hard for 9-5 personnel to fix that the modders have to fix them whilst the company takes select few and announces that "it is not a bug, it's a feature".

[@CaptainCollins]

Interesting... so you tell me when my spaceship yeets into the sky, it's actually a feature, called "fast deloyment" ? xD

[@Paltse]

@@CaptainCollins Eeexactly (terms and conditions may apply). You could also be a space prince who rescues space princess from a space castle guarded by a space dragon, but because of current language game rules you can even exchange the meanings of the space princess and the space dragon from one entity to other and thus rescue the space dragon from the space castle and the space princess who turns out to be fuming obnoxious fumes at you if you look at them slightly funny when they demand a third breakfast from you.

[@Paltse]

@@CaptainCollins It will be called the G.I. Ant effect. It has been known since 2011.

[@reggie368]

I just don't want to be disappointed by the game... Is it too much to ask ? So maybe I should keep my expectations low and keep myself away from all those too much enthusiastic videos about how cool the game is going to be.

[@CaptainCollins]

I am sceptical too and couldn't believe what I hear... we'll find out in a few hours :)

[@reggie368]

I think that a bug free @@CaptainCollins is more believable 😃 Cheers Captain ! 😄 YAY! 😆

[@zu_alt_fuer2272]

last time tod sayd it just works, he f...d us really hard... i'm sceptical... won't buy it soon

[@CaptainCollins]

This info is not coming from Todd, but from people playing the game already

[@BigAnthony954]

Todd has never let me down. I've enjoyed all Bethesda developed games

[@danrosenthal9231]

How about you actually play the game first before offering your "initial thoughts."

[@CaptainCollins]

Good point, changed the title accordingly. There's a "first impressions" video planned, so this shouldn't be confusing.

[@WolfeRavenwood]

If it ages bad, we have something in common at least. Aber irgendwas ist ja immer. Lets hope this will get good. (And yes, modability could carry this for years, if not decades.)

[@CaptainCollins]

haha, sehr gut! We'll see in a few hours how much weight those words have... I'm waiting for the moment: "told you!" :P
