Dark Souls 2

You already can save the game anywhere.  You press start, select quit game, and then quit.  Your game is saved.

Somehow I'm afraid that he means, like, save files and loading them manually. Kind of seems completely out of touch with and ignorant of what the game actually is in the first place, to to a bit blunt. I sure have no idea what in the world he's on about, at least.

That image was pretty great, by the way :)

It's like the difficulty arguments, in a normal single player focused game it's great to have those options, but in something with live multiplayer and no weird asynchronous stuff like Dragon's Dogma things have to stay equal, so that means those who want an easy mode will just have to suck it up (or in the case of NG+ runs just restart with a new character.)

Dark Souls is not hard, at worse it can be annoying or obtuse in the way it handles its mechanics and secrets (at least in my experience).
