Starfield Was Spoiled Before It Even Launched, You Just Didn't Realize It

If you’ve been looking to add some new Lego sets to your collection, Amazon will currently knock $10 off every $50 you spend on eligible sets. Some of the sets on offer include some of our personal favorites, like the Lego BD-1 for $87.30 (was $99.99), the Lego Star Wars Trench Run Diorama for $55.99 (was $69.99), and the Lego Creator Pirate Ship for $110.99 (was $119.99).

Just before Starfield came out, the game’s reviews were dropped, and a consistent theme was seen within them. Specifically, these game reviewers kept talking about the amount of hours they put into the game overall, not just with the main storyline but within the whole game. Some of the reviewers had put in dozens of hours, and a few had put in over a hundred to two hundred hours into Bethesda’s new title! What that showed was that no matter what kind of gamer you were, you would have quite the adventure ahead of you. As we know now, that was by design.

Run From Mummies is a top-down 2D action-adventure game about getting lost in ancient pyramids, snapping pics, and escaping scores of bandaged bad guys with a bee in their bonnet. Equipped with your trusty camera, you'll put your photography skills to the test while out-pacing each tomb's hostile natives who are, let's say, less than pleased by your presence.  

Starfield was «made to played for a long time».

Starfield director Todd Howard has said that Starfield was intentionally made to be played for a long time.

Bethesda Game Studio’s creative director, Todd Howard, wasn’t expecting our Starfield ships to be so damn cool.

Starfield director Todd Howard says that Bethesda's sci-fi RPG was «intentionally» designed to be played for a long time and that he expects to still be working to update the game for the next five years.

I’ve never been great at math, but Doom plus Indiana Jones seems like an equation for success. In the 30 years since Doom’s release, we’ve seen hundreds, perhaps thousands, of total conversion mods, from the excellent Brutal Doom to the cerebral and scary My House. Now, the defining PC FPS from id Software gets a dose of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, as an enormous Doom mod casts you in the role of a Stetson-wearing treasure hunter blasting his way through Mesopotamia and Egypt. If you’ve been waiting on a new Indiana Jones game, like for example the one from Bethesda, this will more than tide you over in the meantime.

We’ve seen some truly lengthy video game experiences over the years. For instance, Bethesda is a development studio known for creating some big RPG experiences. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a prime example of a game that continues to see big numbers over a decade after being released into the marketplace. Recently, Todd Howard, the game director behind Starfield, commented on long video games. Starfield is just the base right now, as we can see this game thrive for several years.

Bethesda boss Todd Howard says Starfield was designed and built for longevity, even more so than RPGs like Skyrim or any of the modern Fallouts, with the studio already considering how the game will evolve for years and years to come. 

If you are bummed that planet exploration in Starfield is not as challenging as expected, Bethesda originally planned to make the system much more punitive, according to the game's director.

Starfield's planets were originally supposed to be much more punishing for players, that is until Bethesda "nerfed the hell out of it," reveals Todd Howard.
