Reader Discussion: Do You Like Permadeath In Games?
You live. You die. You start all over again, with all your stuff lost (or maybe not). Permadeath continues to grow in popularity, but what makes it so attractive?
Do you like the risk of losing an XCOM soldier forever? Perhaps putting it all on the line with a Diablo III character changes the way you play. Maybe you risk your mortality in zombie games like DayZ or ZombiU.
Or maybe, you just don't appreciate that kind of mechanic at all. Let us know what you think about permadeath in the comments below.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
