And I, personally, think they are different, seeing how the colored one is a lizardy dragon with scales and a physical tail, and the concept one is more.. ethereal I suppose. The tail ends with a flame, and the face is more pointy. They're similar, but far from the same. For each their own, I...

I do believe he meant that the first (colored) picture looks terrible and generic, while the black and white "concept" ones look very nice. To which I wholeheartedly agree.

But then how would others be able to hear you if you isolate your microphone?

You know, I actually enjoy the music in current games. Yeah it's not as memorable, but that's probably because we now have big budgets and the computing power to play quality music, and not old chip-tunes that ran for levels and drilled in to your head. Everyone can hum the theme of Mario mostly...

I mean the difficulty of getting through it. Also, before attacking my buttocks, I would kindly suggest reading my post above you. I explain just what kind of difficulty I am talking about here. P.S. Not the face!

I'm not saying it's the difficulty that makes Pathologic what it is. It is all about engagement, just as you said. But without the difficulty being what it is, it wouldn't be able to achieve that level of engagement. It is because of the difficulty that you have to make certain decisions that...

Hmm, it seems we reached somewhat of an agreement. I do agree that most games don't use difficulty or challenge to make a point. But, as you said, some games have difficulty in their core and people should be aware of that before buying. I guess people nowadays expect everything to be given to...

How do I know that the game doesn't take a shift? I honestly don't. What I find perplexing is that people seem to think that if you want to experience something to the fullest, you must see it to the fullest. Take the Trevi Fountain: should the water be removed because some people have really...

So if I don't collect all bajillion pokemon, I didn't experience it? If I don't complete all the side quests in Skyrim has the game failed? What's with the almost fetishistic approach to completing a game? I've played GTA IV, got to the last section of the game, but stopped playing. I've...

If you hate that word why do you use it? Just curious. Also, you don't need to be "hardcore" to experience it. I didn't complete it, nor do I have any hopes to do so. I still experienced it. And what I experienced was unique and interesting, in a way. The article states that the video game...

You're talking about difficulty like it's a main point of games - is it like that though? Yes, some people may not be able to play some games because of the difficulty. I actually never completed Pathologic, but I respect it's decision of difficulty, because it highlights the plot, atmosphere...

All this talk (I use the term loosely) about making Dark Souls easier, or at least more approachable reminded me of a very specific game: Pathologic, made by Ice-Pick Lodge. The game is about a town suddenly falling to a plague. At the start you get to choose from three characters. Your goal...

I was stupid enough to misread the title and thought that the squid was 2000 feet long :D I was severely disappointed just moments later. But still, it's quite small, show me one the size of a whale, then it's going to be at least somewhat exciting.

Dark Souls: Fix the damn lagstabs. I'm tired of invaders warping behind me when they were 10 meters in front of me and killing my squishy sorcerer ass. It wouldn't be hard either- there's a ring that increases backstab damage. Why not make one that reduces the damage? Or make that wearing a...
