Since the release of Starfield and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/with-spider-man-2-you-can-almost-save-the-ticket-to-new-york\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Spider-Man 2<\/a>, or even shortly before they hit the market, <strong>dozens of videos and images showcasing bugs from both games have gone viral on social media<\/strong>. These include issues with physics, graphic errors, and gameplay problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To shed some light on this situation, <strong>Paul Tassi<\/strong>, a writer for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/paultassi\/2023\/10\/22\/are-games-like-spider-man-2-and-starfield-as-buggy-as-players-posts-suggest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Forbes<\/a><\/strong> magazine, wanted to share his experience with both games and assess how much truth there is in the popular belief that both games have many bugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his article, Tassi claims that the belief that there are many bugs in both games is being &#8220;grossly exaggerated&#8221; for two main reasons: <strong>we are in the age of social media<\/strong>, which means that if something funny or curious happens, it will likely go viral and others will try to replicate it, and also because <strong>we are immersed in a console war<\/strong> created by the fans of the companies (some people have too much free time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Marvel&#039;s Spider Man 2 (PS5) - Bike Glitch + Train = Messed up animations (Naruto Parker Bug)\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CtQBSerasfU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In this way, between <strong>the humor that usually circulates on social media platforms like Twitter or TikTok<\/strong>, and the fact that many users share bugs as a way to say, &#8220;Hey, your console&#8217;s game is terrible, look at its flaws,&#8221; we have dozens of videos circulating on the Internet with various glitches\u2026 but <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/why-starfield-has-fewer-bugs-than-expected?ex=RAMP-1114.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">they are quite rare<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to what Paul Tassi mentioned, I also believe that, at least in the case of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/official-starfield-mods-support-wont-arrive-until-2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Starfield<\/a>, there is a context that can explain (not justify) the bad reputation of the bugs. Those of us who have played Bethesda games at their launches (and even years later) have encountered <strong>dozens, and even hundreds, of bugs<\/strong> because these are enormous games created with one of the most patched game engines in the history of video games.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"PlayStation App\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/00be5b32-9b62-11e6-869c-00163ed833e7\/1288856595\/playstation-app-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">PlayStation App<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/playstation-app.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/playstation-app.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything adds up in the end, but both Tassi and many other players attest that Starfield and Spider-Man 2 have been released with very few bugs, and <strong>both will be patched without problems in the coming months<\/strong>.
