16 times the crunch

It’s already delayed to 2023. Why crunch during the holidays for a may release instead of a July release?

Let them enjoy the holidays and come back refreshed. As long as the game ships in a polished state, the delays would’ve been worth it. Let’s face it, we are all playing this game Day one no matter how buggy it is, I’d rather have a decent first experience on day one than wait two months for them to patch it.

 

[Jennings]

I'm hoping Starfield releases in late 2024 so I have time to play all the 2023 games coming soon.

 

[Chukhopops]

Doomsday prophecies will happen anyway and they’re unbearable already so why rush?

You know the game will be called broken at launch if a plate wobbles on a table more than once in 200 hours.

 

[amigastar]

I'm sure Starfield will come out 2023

if the games not an 11/10, its gonna get unbearable on the internet anyway. As this will all be directed at Xbox....even tho they didn't make it. And its a game that was like 85% done when they bought it

Who is that stuttering Korean next to Todd Howard?

But if its a roaring success microsoft will get 100% of the credit for it

 

[Skifi28]

It's OK, if everything gets delayed you still have Zoidberg.

 

[ThatGamingDude]

Every game should get delayed to 2030
All new games would be getting an early release with tons of polish

 

[Banjo64]

You shouldn’t be worried about ‘crackpot doomsday prophecies’ if both of these games are pushed back again, but the fact that Xbox Studios would be in utter shambles.

 

[TheGodfather07]

Just make sure the game is in good shape. That's more important than everything else. Imagine if it's super buggy and unpolished? It will look bad on both Bethesda and Microsoft. It'll be easy ammo for trolls.

 

[Fredrik]

They’ve already missed the release date they wanted, there is no point rushing now, just make it great.

Could’ve released it (US) 2-3-23 (EU) 23-2-3 but that won’t happen.

 

[DEAD ORIGINAL]

Imagine if StarFields bad?

 

[Filben]

But how do we get 16 times more details if they're not gonna delay?

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Let’s face it, we are all playing this game Day one no matter how buggy it is

This is Bethesda. There's NO WAY IN HELL, this game ships in polished state

 

[GymWolf]

Absolute gold coming from his mouth.

It's not a quote from him, isn't?!

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Good games often cause short term memory. Don’t crunch , take your time Godd Howard.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Excited to visit copy-pasted dungeons and interiors on every planet, garbage side-quests like every Bethesda game, and a shit main quest. It'll prolly run like shit as well. Hopefully gameplay/atmosphere will carry most of the game.

 

[DEAD ORIGINAL]

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion what a great game this was the game that made u need to have an Xbox 360 what a great year 2006 was Oblivion, Dead Rising, Gears of War, Rainbow six Vegas, Test Drive Unlimited unbelievable good.

 

[KuraiShidosha]

Bullshit. Everyone knows it's a Bethesda game. If it's a success, it'll be their success and no one else's. But if it's a flop then people will laugh at Microsoft for buying them and getting dud releases. You know this is true.

 

[mansoor1980]

OP.....................

 

[Pasta la Vista]

I just hope it's better than Fallout 4 and 76. I personally would be fine with a delay to 2024.

[Little Mac]

Just delay it ffs and stop announcing release dates.

 

[3liteDragon]

The game doesn’t have a solid date other than 2023, no need to crunch for the holidays. Just come out with a well-polished game in the end & I’ll be satisfied.

 

[Drizzlehell]

It's gonna be the best video game in human history.

Unless it's gonna be the worst game in human history. Anything's possible.

 

[RickSanchez]

i must be living under a rock, but, what "xbox doomsday prophecies" is OP talking about ?

 

[winjer]

But, but......it just works.....

 

[Umbasaborne]

Or, they could stop commiting to unrealistic time frames and release it when its ready. Announcing those games for 2022, then the first half of 2023 was silly, now its going to look extra bad when starfield is delayed again

 

[kapshin]

Huge fan of Bethesda games but Todd lives in his own Starfield.

 

[Guilty_AI]

They'll crunch, the game will be delayed, they'll crunch even more, and it'll come out unfinished anyway.

Starfield WE NEED YOU

 

[Dick Jones]

I was worried that this was going to be a reworded version of The Specials "A Message to You, Rudy"


Somehow it's worse. Congrats OP... I guess

 

[lughnasadh123]

Delaying the game longer to polish it up disappoints fans and sets up even higher expectations for what the game will deliver.
Rushing the game out earlier than what it needs risks tanking sales and squanders good will towards any next game.

Both results in tears from gamer babies but at least the first one ends with a better game on release.

The OP is one of the guys who complains about cheesy Sony GIFs and then posts this?

Y'all have nothing to worry about...

Majority of Xbox owned/published games in the last couple of years have gotten 10/10 from IGN (and the rest 9/10), so it's pretty much certain that Starfield will be awarded a 10/10 by IGN (regardless of the game's state).

This alone shall be enough to counter any criticism on these forums.

 

[Hoppa]

They can delay it a decade and it will still release a buggy mess. I have incredibly low expectations of this game but I like a good surprise

 

[bentanchorbolt]

You see, a bunch of dorks that spend more time talking about games than playing them, who also pledge an unhealthy allegiance to billion dollar corporations, like to dunk on the box they don’t own in order to make themselves feel better.
