>>713550254 (OP)The two most retarded parts of this take are
1. Dark Souls (And other games in the series) do have a story, they just dont spoon feed it to you and its entirely up to you whether you seek it out or wander around bonking skeletons. So if someone claims it doesnt have a story, they're just admitting they cant understand anything unless its spoon fed to them.
2, Minimalised story telling that isnt shoved in your face, and instead dripped to you in hints and environmental story telling and the like, is a really good way to not let games become MGS4 and turn into hours upon hours of cutscenes.
