As long as they had fun kicking his butt, that's all that matters.

I can understand not wanting to break a game’s difficulty curve by allowing skilled players to acquire really powerful gear early by taking risks, but…still a bit of a let-down when it’s artificially gated like that. At least it’s not like a certain MMO I’ve played that holds story quests hostage behind an arbitrary number (they call it “Battle Power”) meant to represent your overall gear and skill progression, but ends up being insanely unnecessary and even outright inaccurate at times.

…Man, video make me weirdly thinky for something that’s just meant to be a fun distraction.
