[QUOTE="Thomas Shey, post: 9761301, member: 7026617"] Well, obvious I can't make claims with certainty about every one of them; I can only go by the couple I saw in play and the ones I read in any detail, and even the latter has to be taken with a grain of salt by its nature. Actually, sometimes I think you very much shouldn't. If you're trying for a particular play style, [I]try for it[/I]. Not every tool is, or should be a Swiss Army Knife, and not every RPG needs to be aimed at serving all purposes. This goes in both directions; some games aim at maximum speed and minimum handling time; they probably shouldn't be trying to catch my attention because it'd just compromise their primary purpose. Again, I really don't think so. Some are simply [I]not intended for casual players.[/I] There's no reason that should be less true than with any other kind of game, just because its a cooperative game. That's not gatekeeping; its just having a design intent and sticking to it. [/QUOTE]
