Life is hard. It's only a little bit harder than Demon's Souls, praise for which forms the spine of my latest Kotaku feature. If you want to make me feel better you can a. pray and b. read the article. It includes a really fun anecdote from the game's producer about how getting stranded in the snow with a lot of other drivers inspired the idea for the game's multiplayer.
So read it, and send me healing thoughts! I'm totally a Black Phantom over here and I need to be resurrected!
Hopefully when I'm well I can explain a little better why I'm so interested in meaningful challenges in games right now. Or maybe you can discuss in the comments and arrive at a definition of "meaningful challenge" on your own.
