I don't think ANY game has been made better by an investment system. Not a single one. They are perhaps the biggest blunder of modern game design in the last few years.


I mean, this is where you go off the rails these are all games that rely heavily on player progression for their core design. They are also some of the most beautiful and important games in years.

EVE
Diablo
Dark Souls/Demon Souls
World Of Warcraft

Please read the words I write. I say exactly what I mean.

No game has been made better by investment systems. Does this mean there are no good games that have them? No. These games would be better if designed in such a way that there were no investment systems.

PS. WoW and Diablo are not good games.
