Are people finally waking up to the idea that Souls games aren't fun and are a blight on the gaming community because they prop up the beliefs of a select few faggots that to showcase how "good" at video games and how "hardcore" they are by promoting the idea that all games need horrendously designed boss fights where every attack is a one-shot or chains into repeat staggers leading to death and you have to endure 2 minute of nonstop attacks just to get one swipe in before rinsing and repeating the whole process til the boss dies?
That the very franchise/genre that spawned memes like "You didn't beat the game" is dragging down gaming discourse for something as trivial as validation is a genuine cancer for the hobby?
Hell, who am I kidding?

>be me, mid-90s kid who grew up playing stuff SC1 and BW
>entire life post-school everyday was logging onto BNet and joining custom UMS games like Cat N' Mouse, Impossible Scenarios, Protect the President, etc.
>would spends hours at a time for years scouring the early '00s internet for tidbits of StarCraft-related stuff because any sort of auxiliary media like art and lore was sparse outside of what was in the games
>go batshit insane with glee when SC2 was announced unaware of the direction the series would take
This was truly some Monkey's Paw shit- though, things were still fine for awhile. WoL did a good job of emulating that SC1 atmosphere and the game felt like it was BW but updated to modern technological sensibilities. HOTS, on the other hand, was truly the end of what we came to know and love as StarCraft.

will you mashmak plebs stop filling your inventory with low value garbage when I'm trying to fucking rob you?
