Man, “15 hours in and not a single bug.” I love Bethesda, but I feel like that’s an incredibly bold claim to make and that his definition of bug is probably a bit loose. I wish they wouldn’t make this big of a hubbub about it and just let the game speak for itself if it’s really that solid.
I wanna hear how bug free the game is from those 2,000 hours in one save file weirdos.
Yeah the games solid til about hour…269? Then everyone T-poses and then falls into geometry.
Yeah, maybe the 2,062 cheese wheels I have stored in my house could be bugging things out but I doubt it.
👎 Not recommended
6,940 hours playtime
Bugthesda strikes again!
Think the game is stable? Try teleporting nothing but cheese wheels for three straight days.
Yeah true. Why do the talking when you can do the walking.
This actually gives me more concerns than before, which is probably not what they intended.
Exactly. By pointing a big red arrow at the problem they’ve historically had to the point of memory it just serves to make the skeptics more skeptical and create concern in everybody else since it’s just a big “source: trust me, bro”.
We’ll just have to see.
That’s such a low bar that it’s clipped through the floor.
Least buggiest? Are we just giving up on English, “journalists?”
I seems in general journalism has gotten worse and worse with their grammar. I honestly wonder if their editors even look at even the title before things are posted online.
When I used to do copywriting for junk SEO, I began to suspect that my editor didn’t actually read anything I wrote and just passed it through a content uniquness filter, so I started putting in random references to HP Lovecraft stories in the articles I got assigned.
They all got published, no questions asked. For a while if you searched “Homeopathy and the Esoteric Cult of Dagon” my content was the only result
Alas, I just tried searching that and a few close variants, and find nothing but this Memmy post.
I mean, an automated grammar checker should get this. Shouldn’t even require a human editor.
Plugging it in there catches it and suggests “least buggy”.
I think the title is a joke about how Bethesda games are notoriously always full of bugs. Like, to the point that it’s just expected for any new Bethesda game to be a bug-riddled mess at launch.
Hell, there are still bugs in Skyrim that never got patched, even after they re-released it onto modern platforms. Not even obscure bugs, but things normal players will encounter in their playthroughs.
He’s saying the “Least buggiest” is not proper phrasing. It should be something along the lines of “the least buggy/bugged” and it’s a pretty bad title for someone claiming to be a “journalist”.
It’s crazy that they haven’t used things like the unofficial patch to fix their own damn game. Like they could pretty much just copy paste that shit and be fine. But no. More than a decade later and that shit is still around and even propagated to things like FO4 and FO76.
Someone distributing it for free doesn’t mean they can legally just put it in their code and sell it.
If it is licensed in a way they can use it, they’d still have to do a bunch of testing and validation to actually do it.
The author is basing this claim on feedback from FIVE people who have been playing the game. If Bethseda are only expecting a similar number to play it once it’s released, then this is a useful metric. Otherwise it’s meaningless.
The author also used the phrase “least buggiest” in the headline, I think we can guarantee there isn’t any actual journalism in the article
“Redfall is looking awesome, it has Arkane’s best gunplay yet.”
