I think the article title deserves a correction: we should be able to criticize Dark Souls series. The same goes for copycat sub genre it spawned for sure. But it was always artificial difficulty at it's very roots and the people that told you to git gud were lying.

There's a million situations where you'd wanna be locked on and still actually roll good at the same time. Or sprint which you cant do in ds1 either.
>Good, some of the worst runbacks in DS2 in particular are because of the AI chasing you to the ends of the earth upon aggro
>"it's your fault for locking on and stepping off the slippery ledge..b-but it's ds2's fault i decided to run past the enemies and they do exactly what enemies are supposed to do!
You cant make this up

>member the "git gud" meme? You guys know why that meme took off on /v/ back then, right?
But Dark Souls difficulty is artificial difficulty so you were just being retards

And yet there's not one webm of this game ever looking "good"
