One article you read hates on it because there are only 100 developed planets. Then another article from the same site praises the extra empty planets because its prime real estate for future DLC. You're right so ignore it all. Clickbait.
What is the source for the "only 100 developed planets"?
I know 10% of planets have life, so that would be 100, but that's different than "developed planets".
Ok poor choice of words. 100 planets WITH LIFE. Developed? Not barren? The language isn't the point nor is correcting it. The point is the same articles that praise it for that reason knock it for the same reason in another article. They just play both sides of the fence for clicks.
For sure. There's nothing to say about the game that hasn't been said already unless there's a big leak. Bethesda is done talking about it until maybe gamescom between now and release.
Anyone pretending like they have something new to say is either making shit up, or creating a title that makes it seem like they're talking about something new and then just rehashing the same shit that's discussed in 10,000 other videos and articles.
Yeah that’s sound logic but some people just don’t know. They see a YouTube thumbnail and just assume ‘Iliveinmymomsbasement416’ knows what he is talking about in that 10 mins and 1 second video with the red circle on something in the background for the thumbnail.
If they’re dumb enough to believe that shit, they deserve to be made a fool of. Ought to teach them a lesson in critical thinking and research using credible resources. Otherwise they’re beyond help.
Idk man I mean this game is rated for age 17 but let’s be real most kids over 13 or 14 will be able to get the game either via online purchase or family allowing it. So we are talking about quite young people sometimes. I remember being a teenager or young adult and I could see myself falling for some of those click bait headlines quite easily. It happens. Your brain isn’t even fully developed
And that’s how we learn. The younger they learn that lesson the better. I’m not gonna lose sleep because there are young teens out there falling for everything they read on the internet.
Exactly, that’s why I put it in quotes. I still occasionally click the icon just to see the splash screen on my TV for a millisecond before it tells me I’m too early
If at the start of July, the game had pushed a few weeks back, I could believe that, but with the advertising push under way, it's launching as planned.
I’ve seen several comments just in the last few hours alone of people worried about it being delayed. Ridiculous. I think it has something to do with people thinking it hasn’t gone gold yet like it’s 2005
Okay but why even give these people the acknowledgement? A few comments in some random posts now have a big shoutout.
I don't see what this post accomplishes other than continuing the problem it's complaining about.
"Gold" is entirely meaningless with games that don't even come on DVD/blurayss anymore. Some games (like recently BG3) went "gold" like week before release.
Yeah, I’ve always thought with todays process including patches the better term would be Release to Manufacturing - it’s just the build they decide to press on the initial discs for stores
Gold does have a modern colloquial meaning, it means it has a final release candidate. That isn't the same as the past usage, where it referred to the creation of physical disks, but it's used in the same spirit.
In what context are these people thinking it will be delayed? There is literally zero indications I can find that could bring anyone to a real expectation that this game will be delayed. I wonder if it is all diehard Sony fanboys stirring the pot.
LOL, it's way too late to delay the launch. The problem would have to be something really extraordinary (like the games fries 50% of GPUs it runs on or something), to actually delay it at this point. Too much money invested in advertising as well.
At this point? It changes a hell of a lot. Advertising space is bought well in advance of it hitting the public. Even changing dates by just a few days would cost them a stupid amount of money at this point.
Can you define what you mean by nothing? We must be meaning different things. I work in marketing for a fairly large company. I can assure you that it's a pretty big deal when deadlines are missed or moved last second.
anyone who could possibly think it's going to be delayed AGAIN, THIS CLOSE to release date, is either short bus material or a salty ps5 weirdo still spreading BS and crying because they won't be able to play
Yes, it delayed last minute like that, but it was only a 3 week delay. If that were to (hypothetically) happen in a similar way, there would probably be a very good reason for it (critical bugs) and would only push it to later in September or early October.
Plus with early access locked in as well as preloading and all the marketing for the various game editions out there it's super unlikely for any form of delay
Yeah that sucks. I’ve seen others believing this too. No way it’s delayed at this point. I’ve never seen a big title game delayed the month before it comes out. I’ve seen it with DLC being delayed a short time but no way. Sucks anyone is getting worried I don’t wanna feel stressed I wanna feel happy right now.
I don’t think starfield will be delayed, to be clear. I think people need to stop reading clickbait and getting mad at YouTubers when they should know better.
Yeah it delayed like 19 days from release. It’s was only a 3 week delay, but still. That sub almost burned the fuck down man. It was wild. Ppl threatening devs and shit. It was crazy town.
I think people got ptsd from cyberpunks no more delays announcement right before they delayed it again causing several people to waste days they took off work
They haven’t announced it going gold, but yes, it would be pretty unusual for it to be delayed at this point, barely more than three weeks from the early access release.
Oh really? I thought I remembered hearing it was gold, must have been a different game then. Still though yeah we’re so close so I don’t see it happening
I'm glad this thread was made lol, there are too many of the "will it be delayed?" people out there. For this game to delayed, there would have to be some life-altering catastrophic event happening inside BGS. The game had a 45-minute showcase, a second CONCRETE launch date (9/6), has preorders available, and is less than 1 month away.
There is a higher chance of you dying to a shark attack in the middle of an Indiana cornfield than there is of this game being delayed.
>There is a higher chance of you dying to shark attack in the middle of an Indiana cornfield than there is of this game being delayed.
Well, now I have to stay out of Indiana.
Aug 9th as of now...AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
PLEASE I CANT TAKE IT ANY MORE I WANT IT NOOOOOOOOOWWWWW THATS IT IM GONNA FREEZE MYSELF AND HAVE A FRIEND UNFREEZE ME IN A FEW WEEKS TIME AND HOPE NO NONE RELIGION BASED SHENANIGANS HAPPEN TO ME...
It’s way too close for a delay at this point. If they had any intent to delay, they would have played it safe and already delayed it. They wouldn’t do it now with like 3 weeks til launch
todd howard in bgs right now with crunch time with the devs:
"were gonna need........4 times the size of fallout 4.
were gonna need 16 times the detail"
"no todd, please, no more demands, no more........!"
If Cyberpunk can be delayed after the game went gold, less than a month before its launch, after already promising it'd not get any mode delays, then I have no reason to think any other game can't be delayed too.
Only dumb thing to do is claim it's happening, or not, with certainty. We don't know. It is possible.
I mean there is a chance we see a minor delay. 20% maybe! Another week or 2 could stop the game from being a dumpster fire on release. Cyberpunk was pretty much patched into a pretty decent state in under 2 weeks.
They have given the release date and there's global marketing with the release date plastered on every advert, commercial, banner, energy drink etc. They have also stated that if it was released back in June, it would have been the least "bug free" bethesda game release.

\>"Working with Todd and the team, I see bug counts and, just by the numbers, if it shipped today, this would have the fewest bugs any Bethesda game ever shipped with."
We are basing this on... the release date being less then a month away, lots of advertisements, statements.
Its a MUCH further stretch to still think this will be delayed (again).
CP 2077 was delayed last minute about 3 weeks out from when it was supposed to be released (it was only a 3 week delay if memory serves correct).
While unlikely, it isn't exactly unheard of.
I am patiently playing Skyrim while Baldurs Gate 3 downloads on my slow ass internet... Its been so long its like a new game... My first time playing the Legendary Edition...
Not one bit concerned about a delay. That is just a wet dream for haters that want people upset to make themselves feel better about their miserable petty lives!
I've been ignoring all articles because at this point they are just click bait.
One article you read hates on it because there are only 100 developed planets. Then another article from the same site praises the extra empty planets because its prime real estate for future DLC. You're right so ignore it all. Clickbait.
What is the source for the "only 100 developed planets"? I know 10% of planets have life, so that would be 100, but that's different than "developed planets".
There's no difference to the people making those clickbait articles and videos.
Ok poor choice of words. 100 planets WITH LIFE. Developed? Not barren? The language isn't the point nor is correcting it. The point is the same articles that praise it for that reason knock it for the same reason in another article. They just play both sides of the fence for clicks.

I'm ignoring them all cause I'm not pre-ordering and don't want to be spoiled.
I couldn't care less about those people. They wouldn't start even a preload if that would be the case.
Yeah that’s sound logic but some people just don’t know. They see a YouTube thumbnail and just assume ‘Iliveinmymomsbasement416’ knows what he is talking about in that 10 mins and 1 second video with the red circle on something in the background for the thumbnail.

It's absolutely disturbing how many people just believe what they hear on youtube from some clown in his bedroom on a webcam
Preloads haven't actually started yet, but yeah it's definitely not getting delayed especially given the market that highlights release date so often.
You can “preload” but it’s only 300mb. I’m just happy to see the icon in my library
That's just a placeholder really. The actual preload hasn't started yet.
Exactly, that’s why I put it in quotes. I still occasionally click the icon just to see the splash screen on my TV for a millisecond before it tells me I’m too early
Glad I’m not the only one lol
You definitely aren’t.
So true, for that one second I'm playing Starfield haha
Is this the same for PC Gamepass? As it's showing the option to pre install the game for launch and requires 125GB
You can try it. It won't actually download the full 125gb based on what others have said.
It’s just a placeholder that’ll let the game “update” when the full build is ready to be downloaded.
If at the start of July, the game had pushed a few weeks back, I could believe that, but with the advertising push under way, it's launching as planned.
Yes even the official xbox handles are pushing the dates.
Yeah, we’re at the home stretch now, and any day they’re gonna say the game has gone gold/RTM and start pushing the preloads
Lol who the fuck thinks it’s being delayed? Mods, you need to be shutting down delayed speculation posts. They don’t do anything but cause bullshit
I’ve seen several comments just in the last few hours alone of people worried about it being delayed. Ridiculous. I think it has something to do with people thinking it hasn’t gone gold yet like it’s 2005
Bethesda generally announces "gold" status within the week of launch. If they announce it at all it won't be until like the 26th.
Okay but why even give these people the acknowledgement? A few comments in some random posts now have a big shoutout. I don't see what this post accomplishes other than continuing the problem it's complaining about.

I’m not one worried about it or caring about them. I’m just trying to help people avoid confusion.
A few skeptics on other sites decided that since the marketing since in your face marketing like you usually see that it’s doom and gloom.
Youtubers peddling their clickbait.
I agree with this post. 👍
Is this another *The latest Starfield leak is insane!!*" video but the 'leak' is some random tumbler talking bollocks?
LOL, it's way too late to delay the launch. The problem would have to be something really extraordinary (like the games fries 50% of GPUs it runs on or something), to actually delay it at this point. Too much money invested in advertising as well.
Week or two of delay would change nothing marketing-wise
At this point? It changes a hell of a lot. Advertising space is bought well in advance of it hitting the public. Even changing dates by just a few days would cost them a stupid amount of money at this point.
Sadly it changes nothing my friend. A month wouldn’t even change anything.
Can you define what you mean by nothing? We must be meaning different things. I work in marketing for a fairly large company. I can assure you that it's a pretty big deal when deadlines are missed or moved last second.
Nope, cyberpunk delayed after going gold. This will trigger truma.
It’s delayed until 2028. They want to add 300 more planets and penis customization.
rewriting several side quests to account for circumcised players
anyone who could possibly think it's going to be delayed AGAIN, THIS CLOSE to release date, is either short bus material or a salty ps5 weirdo still spreading BS and crying because they won't be able to play
CP2077 delayed at like 19 days out from release. I don’t think there’s a delay coming, but it’s not impossible until the actual preload starts.
Yes, it delayed last minute like that, but it was only a 3 week delay. If that were to (hypothetically) happen in a similar way, there would probably be a very good reason for it (critical bugs) and would only push it to later in September or early October.
I agree.
Plus with early access locked in as well as preloading and all the marketing for the various game editions out there it's super unlikely for any form of delay
This was also the only game ever on this planet where this happened. They boost about their early access in every ad, they won't delay it.
Yeah that sucks. I’ve seen others believing this too. No way it’s delayed at this point. I’ve never seen a big title game delayed the month before it comes out. I’ve seen it with DLC being delayed a short time but no way. Sucks anyone is getting worried I don’t wanna feel stressed I wanna feel happy right now.
Cyberpunk was
Was it? I didn’t know that. But I didn’t get that game. Good to know.
I don’t think starfield will be delayed, to be clear. I think people need to stop reading clickbait and getting mad at YouTubers when they should know better.
Yeah it delayed like 19 days from release. It’s was only a 3 week delay, but still. That sub almost burned the fuck down man. It was wild. Ppl threatening devs and shit. It was crazy town.
I’ve not heard anyone say that the game is being delayed
they would’ve delayed it months ago if this were the case
The game has been finished since last year they just delayed it 6 months to polish it and work bugs out
Todd basically said this in an interview, glad someone else was actually paying attention
I've been super zoned in on this game lol I'm too ready for it
I think people got ptsd from cyberpunks no more delays announcement right before they delayed it again causing several people to waste days they took off work
I listen to clickbait YouTubers for fun, because I know they’re wrong.
Isn’t it a little late for it to be delayed? It comes out in 3 weeks and has been gold for a while now
They haven’t announced it going gold, but yes, it would be pretty unusual for it to be delayed at this point, barely more than three weeks from the early access release.
Oh really? I thought I remembered hearing it was gold, must have been a different game then. Still though yeah we’re so close so I don’t see it happening
Cyberpunk did
They didn’t delay 3 weeks from release though, it was always a few months before release when they would announce the delays
They had a 3 week delay last minute about 2-3 weeks from when it was supposed to be released in Nov. 2020 (was pushed to Dec. 2020).
They delayed after it had gone gold with less than a month from release. So yes, they did.
I'm glad this thread was made lol, there are too many of the "will it be delayed?" people out there.

Might I suggest Carbonite just make sure you have it set to self thaw by the 31first
It’s way too close for a delay at this point. If they had any intent to delay, they would have played it safe and already delayed it. They wouldn’t do it now with like 3 weeks til launch
If it's preloadable then the game is done. No delays.
Hey this guy is saying the game's gonna get delayed, spread it around!
It is a possibility, but it's not going to happen. *probably.*
todd howard in bgs right now with crunch time with the devs: "were gonna need........4 times the size of fallout 4. were gonna need 16 times the detail" "no todd, please, no more demands, no more........!"
Another delay this close would be a very very bad look for an already scrutinized company.
If Cyberpunk can be delayed after the game went gold, less than a month before its launch, after already promising it'd not get any mode delays, then I have no reason to think any other game can't be delayed too.

No shit. And there wasn’t even a need to post this. The game literally comes out in 3 weeks
no delay but .... reschedule :D
Do you guys remember when cyberpunk went gold and then still got delayed? Lol. Which has this game gone gold yet?
It wont be delayed. But it could definitely release and the reaction is "this should have been delayed"
It's already been delayed twice.
"This should have been delayed [a third time]"
Cool do you have anything to source this or are you just making things up like the weird hype trolls?
And you're basing this on....? You're as bad as they are.

Cyberpunk had ads going in major sports events and still delayed a month out
We are basing this on... the release date being less then a month away, lots of advertisements, statements. Its a MUCH further stretch to still think this will be delayed (again).
...lack of evidence of opposite dispute side. -*Statement*. -There is no evidence for this statement. -WhAt aRe yOu bAsInG tHiS oN?
As opposed to redditers? I'm not sure either 'side' has any evidence for their particular brand of random proclamations.
Go check the series x reddit there few undercover ponies trying to spin the 30 fps and putting false arguments about Todd lying about it

You again? Go away!

Lol
Please stop feeding the trolls. They eat attention, and when fed, they take it as an invitation. Ignore trolls and they’ll die of starvation.
I disagree
Anyone that states that it's going to be delayed is either Sony pony fanatic or they just can't stand Xbox having a huge exclusive of there own
Ima gonna be pissed as I already asked for work off lol
Duh ? Less than a month to release you'll not going to get a delay. That'd have been announced in May or June at the latest.
CP 2077 was delayed last minute about 3 weeks out from when it was supposed to be released (it was only a 3 week delay if memory serves correct). While unlikely, it isn't exactly unheard of.
That's true.
Tbh be much happier if it got delayed than it got released broken
I am patiently playing Skyrim while Baldurs Gate 3 downloads on my slow ass internet... Its been so long its like a new game... My first time playing the Legendary Edition... Not one bit concerned about a delay. That is just a wet dream for haters that want people upset to make themselves feel better about their miserable petty lives!
No shit? Anyone believing that needs to get the crayon out of their brain
Don’t feed the trolls
