Is this Bethesda's Bud Light moment?

The best comparisons I've seen for Starfield are to Cyberpunk 2077, and even that game looked better, but Cyberpunk has received numerous patches. A better comparison would be to compare Starfield's launch state to Cyberpunk 2077's launch state. And even then I think Cyberpunk 2077 beats Starfield. Comparing Starfield to Red Dead Redemption II is unfair. Red Dead Redemption and Starfield are not even in the same universe in terms of quality.

Bethesda really hit their stride with this game.

It's from Starfield. They added the Adoring Fan from Oblivion as an Easter egg, I guess.

Yeah, Bethesda actually made worse faces than BioWare did with Mass Effect Andromeda at launch.

I got six minutes into the video and everything he described is a typical Bethesda game, right down to ignoring the main quest. Edit: HAHAHAHAHAHA! NPCs floating away! I remember this happening to an NPC in Morrowind. She would randomly start floating and after a while she would disappear.

Starfield 'boundary reached' leak leaves some worried Bethesda's planets have more limits than anticipated | PC Gamer If Bethesda fanboys are surprised by this, there will be a lot of disappointed Starfield players after launch.

I'm getting Mass Effect Andromeda vibes from this game.

Okay, I have to play this game now.

I haven't played Oblivion in over four years and for some reason I got the urge to play the game and five minutes into my playthrough all I could think about was this:

I'll probably buy it a few weeks after release. I probably will not like it though... Uh oh... Former Starfield dev says there might be too much content for the game to ship on time | GamesRadar+ If this guy is telling the truth, it looks like players won't be able to explore the 1000 planets that Todd promised.

Hello Saria. What brings you to these parts?

I was wrong. A user uploaded a malicious file. I deleted it, banned the user, and asked Google to take another look at the site. It took a while for the idea to get through my thick skull to look at some of the recent uploads, but it did, and now that I'm a little wiser, I'm going to look at new user uploads, and if they contain exe files, it's an immediate ban.

Update: Google is complaining about a link to another site. They are not telling me where the link is, so I got to find a needle in a haystack. It might be a link on a downloads page so that will narrow down my search.

I wish I knew. It would be nice if there was an option to disable the screen for a specific site. I think users would know if a site has been hacked after multiple visits.

I posted about it here. I'm waiting for Google to check the website. It's taking them forever.

ExoClick is a legitimate ad network for adult websites, but Google may find some of their ads questionable, so I have disabled them. This article from ExoClick themselves is why I believe one of their ads was the culprit. ExoClick and Malware and Google ad compliance - ExoClick This is the end of Javascript ads here. I cannot trust these companies, even if it was just one ad with malware that slipped through the cracks, one is all it can take with Google. They are quick to label a site as potentially dangerous, but they are always slow to investigate. From now on, I'll either do simple animated banner ads or e-begging. (by me a coffee ) I'm no fan of Google, but there's nothing suspicious about what happened. Google found something they thought was a security issue and flagged the site, as they should. It can take a while for this to resolve itself. It may take several days or weeks to review the issue. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9044101#links_to_harmful_downloads&zippy=%2Clinks-to-harmful-downloads

If you saw the big red screen saying that the site is not secure (and visited it anyway), I assure you that we are not hacked. I have scanned the site and found no viruses or malware. The site is clean. I suspect that what caused Google to mark us as unsafe were the Exoclick ads I was running. I have disabled them and requested a review from Google. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.
