Dark Souls and its brood are poo poo games. And no, it's not because of the difficulty, it's because of the Souls/Blood Echoes retrieval mechanic.

Please elaborate.

Any game that holds your XP hostage via repetition of an entire sequence, most likely itself repeated several additional times, is poo poo.

He doesn't like losing his souls when he dies two times in a row without making his way back to where he was. Some people don't like consequences.

They are bad at Dark Souls therefore game is bad.

Git Gud is a perfectly acceptable response to someone's failings in a FROM game.

This, also, is why the games are poo poo. Any series that cultivates a culture of prideful exclusion because not everyone has the patience for rote memorization is not something I want any part of. I played the first Dark Souls to completion, waiting for that Moment everyone kept telling me I would have, and all I got was a resounding Thud of an ending.
