Gaming Couch

Author: Smartboy

This is Gaming Couch, a time to talk about gaming. Video games, card games, board games, table top war games, you name it. Focusing mostly on games of old and up to the indie market of today I like to think about what makes a game a game and how it holds up to others of its kind. Rule #1: Never fix it in post. Rule #2: There are no rules. Comments, questions, episode ideas? Send an email to gamingcouchpodcast@gmail.com. Give a Tweet! @G_C_Podcast

Episode 73 of Gaming Couch! And just in time for the holidays! Balancing a game is very difficult. There are so many variables to consider to ensure that all 'builds' are viable and will be enjoyable to play. With that, there are times that one play style will be better than another. I feel that Dark Souls isn't too bad if you just dump things into Health and Strength, allowing you to mow down enemies and bosses with ease. There is no real answer to 'How do you balance a game?' Which can be annoying, since many games suffer from some bad balancing even in a small area. With the holidays around the corner I hope you enjoy them with whatever it is you do. So take care and a merry or happy whatever it is you celebrate! Smartboy
