In theory, RPGs are games with sufficient quantity and variety of content that you need only experience that which is relevant to your particular characters and their story. In practice, they've become games with massive amounts of low-quality, samey content, in which the goal is to consume all of it as efficiently as possible. I haven't decided who to blame for this yet, but I'm turning a critical eye towards lazily underdesigned save systems, and the sort of degenerate behaviour they can encourage. |

Is enemy level autoscaling the worst design possible? by Entropy Stew 01/29/2014, 9:04am PST
It felt like a lazy design choice by people who should know better. For unknown by RetroRomper 01/29/2014, 10:06am PST

I'll never understand why developers insist on ruining perfectly good... by Jerry Whorebach 04/23/2014, 2:16pm PDT
I think this problem may speak to a perversion of the core concept. by Jerry Whorebach 04/23/2014, 6:38pm PDT
What's your ideal save system then? by Lurker 410942 05/28/2014, 5:31am PDT
