i take it back, i can't stomach getting the badge either. i get into a fight on the first floor I can't beat, die and lose items that made said fight harder...?
On standard difficulty and finding the "recommend" item setting, it gets a point back. I shouldn't have started with survival. Still, I don't think I'll ever get anything past the medium badge here...
For the first time, I'm giving up on a challenge... let alone a badge, because I don't like the game to keep trying. It's kind of like Diablo minus everything that made Diablo good...
The reason they don't make them like this anymore is that they (the makers) suck. Suck hard. This game, especially its production values, represents a genre that I would love to come back into the forefront. Play Grim Fandango and The Longest Journey asap if you enjoyed this.
