Xbox exec: “Every QA person in our… company [is] playing Starfield right now.”
Thats not really a high bar now is it?
The bar for this is so low, Derek Zoolander is asking if there are ants drinking at it.
The only bad bugs I’ve ever really noticed in Bethesda games are occasional crashes and those seem to get ironed out for me in post-release updates. It’s anecdotal, but I’ve never had a problem with bugs in Bethesda games like everyone else has apparently.
A lot of buggy releases often aren’t attributed to lack of number of QAs (which helps you find rarer bugs). The simple fact that crazy common bugs any QA probably immediately found and filed, yet was triaged and determined lower priority to other worse bugs the dev team was busy with. Then deemed not stop ship worthy to some exec trying to hit a date.
So only a game breaking bug every other quest then.
