Hi Soren r n r ... Hi Soren r n r nGood article. I think the content is more or less right you 're pointing out some pretty solid examples of games twisting around their stories in pretty dodgy ways, and ultimately, the question of how much choice a player really has the KotOR Malak conundrum ... |

You might have missed one ... You might have missed one of the best ahead of its time examples in film - Alien, which as well know now is all about getting a faceful of alien wing-wong. It 's that sort of thing that makes me wonder if there are two different directions to consider: r ... |

@ David - the negative ... @ David - the negative effect/positive effect. r n r nI 'm not totally sure, but I think there 's some kind of logical fallacy in presuming that a relationship has to have multiple facets - that if games have a positive effect, they must have a negative effect. To ... |

Hm. I think I see ... Hm. I think I see your point a bit more clearly, but ultimately, I don 't think it stands up to the degree of rigor which you clearly exercise elsewhere like in your critiques of its stale mechanics . I still think the best argument is, You have to call ... |

As a preamble: so true. ... As a preamble: so true. Harold, you 're right to point out that the DS series isn 't rogue-like, but it 's relevant to consider how mainstream it 's made the idea of failure or exceptional difficulty in games.
