Man, all the comments shitting on Starfield (justified as it may turn out to be) make me kind of sad, as I'll be getting it bundled with the computer I'm building, so will actually be playing it very near release. Don't kill my hype, guys! Especially since I've only been hyped for a week or two, since my current computer can't even play it, so I gave Starfield no thought over the years.
I don't know, I think it will have some definite issues on launch, but as long as it's not Fallout 76 I think it will be fine. A lot of the Bugthesda talk is just memes...which is not to say there aren't bugs, just that it gets blown out of proportion, and the majority of people aren't running into gamebreaking bugs. Now, should those bugs be there on a release for anyone to hit? No, that's pretty lame. My point is, for most people, Bethesda games aren't broken like the memes would have you believe.
I don't think Starfield will be perfect, and I'm not a fanboy, but I do think I'll have quite a bit of fun with it. Heck, I'll be excited to play any modern game, but Starfield does look like fun in a vacuum (hehehe, space joke!) also.
I hope you have fun with it! Tons and tons of supposed broken unplayable games have been fine for me. Hell, I played Cyberpunk the first week on an Xbox. Pretty bad? Yeah it wasn't great. But as a normal person playing a few hours in the first week it was really performance issues that were the biggest thing I can point to. You can probably gloss over those on a new PC.
Any lack of interest on my part is lack of interest in the game itself, I'm sure I could make it run on my PC at settings good enough for me. If you're excited for the game then well you don't share my lack of interest in the game itself so you're good there.

Yeah, and Cyberpunk console launch was apparently really bad. So if even that was doable, it shows how things get hyped up. Should they be releasing games in that state? Nope. But it still often gets exaggerated.
I think the only game I remember having severe issues with on launch was actually Deus Ex: Human Revolution, but I think that was mostly my computer anyway. Also, I generally don't play games on launch anyway, so it's a pretty small sample size.
If you think about media especially places like Youtube, what gets clicks "OMG LOOK AT TEH BUGS CYBERPUNK BAD" or "This game is ok"? So if you're wanting attention, go around look for messed up textures or glitchy stuff and make a video trashing the game.
Not necessarily excusing it, it was not great and honestly probably shouldn't have been on last-gen consoles. Driving around is still easily sub-30fps in most cases on my Xbox One X with an SSD in it. Just expectations can be ridiculous the demand at the end of a console life for 60fps? I mean why would that change now this thing has been doing 30fps games for years.
Yeah, the clickbaiting pisses me off. If you search "Starfield" on YT, it's mostly a bunch of different people all going over the same bits of recent news...but the "Shorts" that make it to the top are all people saying how terrible Starfield - you know, the game that isn't even out yet - is. How they know this? Unclear. But "Starfield is shit" apparently gets a bunch of clicks; most are hate clicks, but I guess they think it's worth it.
