In 2008, Jonathan Blow gave a talk on the main conflicts of modern game design, and these include Ludonarrative Dissonance, the difficulty with difficulty, and the problem of player interactivity. In this video, I analyze that very talk by Blow, and examine how far we have come as a medium in the last ten years in addressing these issues.
