(which, how does a game imply that it isn't buggy)
Oh, they didn't imply it, they had a whole PR thing going. This being their best-tested game ever and so on. My bare hour of non-cutscene gameplay, already managing to find several old favorite bugs... sort of doesn't add up with that.
I mean, it's perfectly fine to enjoy it. I just think a lot of perfectly legit criticism is met with excuses or weird hostility. JQ (again in a trademark over-the-top "character" that doesn't pull punches) is criticizing Starfield, not everyone's mother or something.
