Naw, fuck that. I don't care how much you bitch over
>hurr durr people say souls is le hard but it's le easy
because once 3D became the norm, games were so fucking easy and hand-holdy. It was fair because with 3D the concept of exploration was possible in ways it wasn't in 2D, so focus on pure challenge wasn't required. But for the entirety of 5th and 6th gen, and most of 7th gen challenging games were incredibly rare. Compare something like Castlevania on the NES to Devil May Cry on PS2, or Mega Man to Metroid Prime. Games got easier. Way, WAY fucking easier. Everything was piss easy.

Like it or not, Souls brought the appeal of challenging games back into the spotlight.
