    So original, and clever... Yet people like you want to pretend like Microsoft don't own them now, and are going to allow them to push out buggy titles.
    I hope Microsoft is paying there q.a. (quality assurance) testers well...to make sure Starfield isn't buggy...
    I mean Starfield has to get at least over a 8.0 for all of the hype surrounding it to even make me consider getting it on my xbox....let alone delete any of my games...

    And why exactly are you replying to me with this? And am I supposed to care about what you do, or don't do? Relying on scores to determine whether, or not to get something sounds pretty simple minded though when you should be able to make up your own. Twenty years ago people experienced games for themselves without the need for someone else to do that for them.
    Scorez Matterz...It's not simple minded to rely on review scorez or user scorez...because those people actually played the game even tho...some userz and reviewerz input wants the game to fail. Like I said before Microsoft hyped Starfield and if the scorez is not over 8.0 then why should I delete some of my gamez which is over a 8.0 score(thatz I enjoy playing) and has lower space on my internal xbox hard drive and Starfield is 125gb(That's a lot of space). It doesn't make sense for you to say make up your own mind, and you're not supposed to care about what I do, or don't do? because my mind is already made up and you can't tell me otherwise. And I read your Xbox profilez biography...blahz at you...get microsoftz and bugthesdaz nutz outz of your mouth. Your one of the reasonz why xbox is in 3rd place and Nintendo and Playstation is in 1st and 2nd place.

    It is going to be buggy. BGS games are so vast that it is nigh on impossible to test absolutely everything in every situation imaginable. Some bugs may infrequently occur (but appear more frequently when millions of people are diving into the game at once). So, expect bugs. It is impossible to get an open-world game completely bug-free, especially one that is going to be played by so many people doing so many different things in the game. Combos of 'activities' in the game may cause bugs to appear that testers would not even have thought about.

    It will almost certainly be an 8+ game, though. It doesn't matter whether there are bugs or not. It will be 8+. Because, at the end of the day, even with bugs, BGS games are huge amounts of fun. Rarely are those bugs ever game breaking (unless on the PS3, which they were).
    Yeah I know it's nigh on impossible to get a open-world game bug and glitch free. I just hope Starfield doesn't launch like fallout 4 and 76 launched with bugs and glitches even tho...fallout 4 was a pretty fun game.

    An 8 is a straight-up good game, not perfect. But it usually has far less glaring issues than a 7 game. 8s are almost always a safe buy if the particular genre jives with you. 8 is literally above average, it probably has some great elements but could have a couple of things holding it back.
    Here's hoping that Starfield, it doesn't launch like bgs fallout 76 launched with a 52 metacritic score and a user score of 2.8. Even tho...bgs...patched fallout 76 out and it is at least playable now.

    I just can't get myself to care about this game. So many recent games have been real bummers.
    Perhaps gaming is starting to become less for you, or you're getting too excited for stuff to the point it could never live up to your expectations?

    Games are 'bummers' at the same rate they were decades ago. In fact, there are probably far fewer misses from the big companies than a couple of decades ago.
    So because I'm not excited for Starfield, gaming isn't for me?... lmao thanks for your input.
    Maybe don't try to assume so much about someone based solely on a one or two sentences.? lol
    Try reading again. That isn't what they said.

    Not worried about the HD space really. I can dump Forza Horizon. I'm not so sure about the whole pre-load concept though. I did that with that Atomic Heart (so?) game. Before I got to even play 1 minute of the game, it had already amassed over 250+ GB of updates. Never could play it until it went through 5 consecutive updates back to back. Soon as 1 would finish one, it was patched again.
    After the Cyberpunk fiasco along with Redfall, I don't trust these companies to put out good things compared to the hype. It could have been 250 GB install, but this "procedural generated" stuff, I hate. I hated the procedural of No Mans sky. It's just laziness to me. The PC only Star Citizen may give an idea of scope. A procedural generated map usually suffers from the same things game after game. Hard to explain, but there's a constant same ol' same ol' feeling with it. Most know what I mean. Lacks soul.
    EVERY Bethesda game has suffered from the same engine feel. You either love it or hate it. But it's certain to be a buggy mess, IMHO.
