Any of these give 20pts per day each and you can claim 2x per day. Some are insanely long but some are as short as 1m 30s so I just run them in the back till they pop

I thought you could only earn from each of these videos once? I went through the whole lot a while back and then haven't bothered since...

They're on a rotation so every 10 or so days they update and can be rewatched. There's just enough to stick to the 1-4 minute vids and them start to unlock again as you get to the end of them and are faced with the longer vids

If all of that is true then that is a huge boost for S3.

Naughty GOG?

I've read rumours that there is a tug or war going on at the moment between Microsoft at-large, who want to launch the game ASAP before their fiscal year-end (June 30th) to shore up losses from Azure, and Xbox/Bethesda, who want more time and want to launch in Q3/4.

This is all from a leaker on Resetera who correctly called info about HiFi Rush before it was announced/released. According to him both Starfield and Redfall are in a rough state (it's Bethesda, so that's more than plausible...), but Starfield much more so.

Take from all that what you will - but if true, no one knows the date right now, least of all GoG. And it would explain why the Starfield-focused 'Microsoft Direct' hasn't been announced yet. Probably all the cosy fireside chat stuff with Todd is in the can and ready to roll out, but the actual crucial info of the date still hasn't been locked.

With the scale of Starfield, i can imaging it not being an easy game to put to bed and no doubt they will go right down to the wire and beyond. If Micorsoft are pushing to get the game out before its ready then we are gonna have another No Mans Sky where their working on fixing it well after the public get their hands on it. Redfall on the other hand looked pretty far along in recent trailers with a lot of the mechanics and gameplay in place, it looks like its using the same engine as Deathloop so i'm not sure why it would be in a rough state unless its been under resourced.

I think you can safely say Starfield is probably in a real state still and no way near finished. If Bethesda aren’t willing to release it yet then it must be bad still.

Redfall looked pretty good in the vids though and quite far along?

Starfield will be absolutely broken at launch. Laughably so. Fallout 3, 4, new Vegas, 76 & skyrim are all still broken. And this still uses the same engine!!
I'm interested to know how MS will handle such a knackered launch of a first party title.

[hudson]

Doesn't Starfield use an updated engine? Creation Engine 2?

Same way they handled Halo, Crackdown, State of Decay 2, Sea of thieves Ect but now with less "Power of the cloud" .

[fishbowlhead]

Its now called the “create it yourself” engine on account of the public having to mod it themselves to make a playable game.

[Cassius_Smoke]

I already know that MS will get a free pass.
Cyberpunk2077 and Witcher3 update are examples of gamers either using their wallets or being very vocal about how broken they are. But I guarantee Starfield will be called brilliant and given the slide simply because its Bethesda.
'Oh well we knew it wouldn't be perfect'
No, stop that **** right now. It's a damn first party title now and that **** doesn't work any more. Broken 3rd party games get *Some* leeway, but not a first party title. I don't expect Aloy or Mario to fall through the ground or for their games to crash and throw you back to the UI. So if Starfield has even the hint of it on release it can **** off.


Rant over.
