>>717167601NTA, but I can kind of understand what he's talking about. 00s grimdark gave off the impression like it was a mix of hope and desperation, like the situation was at its worst but still salvageable. FromSoftware's Souls games give off a more extreme grimdark impression like everything is already over and hopeless, that nothing you do actually matters, similar to Warhammer 40k's grimdark in nature.
I also want something like the 00s grimdark back, right now we have games that are too much at the other ends of each extreme and it's tiring seeing the same tone and shit.
