Paul Tassi: “I have seen bugs in games like Starfield and Spider-Man 2 weaponized as so-called evidence that Microsoft or Sony, Bethesda or Insomniac, has released an unfinished, technically poor game.”
Starfield's recent player spike is a good sign, but Bethesda desperately need to line up their Cyberpunk 2077 moment.
I feel like the second big update that releases late this year will do just that. Part of the story expansion is also new means of transportation on planets.
What player spike?
I checked steamcharts through the link in the article and it went from 8,000 to 11.500, so yea 20% but when the game peaked at 330,000 It's safe to say that the actual effect of this update was negligible.
Doubt it'll ever get redemption. As many developers have said in various interviews it's beyond saving.
Just release the mod tools and expansion and move on.
Cyberpunk 2077 had some strong bones i disliked it on launch because I could see the potential I could see the strengths of what they wanted to achieve but it wasn't done yet
Starfield fans are asking Bethesda to introduce mech piloting to the game after it teaser "major features" on the horizon.
They didn't get the memo the game is dead and the Bethesdabots only want magic and fantasy.
The YouTuber DeityVengy has transformed Starfield into an open-world Star Wars RPG, or The Mandalorian, with over a hundred mods.
nope, its been straight up pathetic console fanboys purposely trying to break both games and then going seeee, look how buggy it is!!
Having played both, the only bug i can think of running into on starfield was floating doors in 50+ hrs lol spider man 2 crashed once on me in 13 hrs and thats literally it it for either of them.
so basically both games came out really good quality wise, but you know xbots and ponys gotta protect there box by dragging the other down.
forza is the one with the most egregious bug iv seen so far where after tuning your car from winning a race it then locks up so you have to close the game and then redo the race you already completed again, was happening to much so ive actually stopped playing it due that bug so until its patched im done and yet that gamw has gotten away scot free in terms of bug critisism, you know why, in the console war its not as big as saying starfield or spider man is broken of which neither is.
either way its been kinda pathetic to see the discourse around both games rather than providing genuine praise and critisism
Some of the Spiderman ones are literally people trying to break the game, going out of their way to find them.
I don’t know about Starfield, but I’ve seen videos of people using the bike on train tracks get hit by a train fly off and the character becomes stuck in a weird pose still trying to ride a non existent bike. But as I said they took the bike to a place it didn’t belong, outside it’s specified mission.
Another vid I saw was people using photo mode to rotate the characters into NPCs so that they merge into one and then taking photos posting them online and calling them glitches.

Never ever compare the 2, NXT
I was pretty excited to play Spider-Man and didn't install the day one patch the first session I played (since it was 40gb). Without the day one patch the game was very buggy and looked rough in performance mode.
Not to knock the game for this, post patch it's a night and day difference and I haven't seen any bugs since, though this might explain a lot of the bugs people are seeing, and this opens the door to some disingenuous narrative about the state of the game.
Now Rift Apart on the other hand I played a year later and that was buggy lmao
