Know stuff before you commentSaid by a guy who wrote a review and didn ' t understand the difference between Physical atk and Physical dmg . Nice try . <| sep |> If you haven ' t played Bastion , without spoiling anything , your first paragraph hits on a very important part of the game . I ' ve gone on long tirades about the end of Bastion , and the choices you ' re forced to make in the end make some of the most powerful moments I ' ve ever experienced in a video game . There ' s also a part in Cave Story where you ' re given the chance to flee , but it ' s ridiculous to think players would want to cheat themselves out of the best part of the game and take the easy way out . In both examples , the player ' s given the option to abandon something important to the story , in exchange for a gameplay advantage . And in both cases , everyone I ' ve spoken to chose to take the difficult route , at least on the first playthrough . Humans are quite happy taking on more difficulty for a more rewarding story .
