This man unironically saved gaming. You might complain about "soulslop" now but Dark and Demon's Souls dropped at a time of peak casualization and linear movie games, now even casual gamers are open to concepts like actually having to learn a bossfight or lack of quest markers and difficulty options, he bridged the gap between classic hardcore gaming and modern audience

>>730887476He didn't save shit, every other genre kept going down the same path and Soulslikes just became a genre for tired dads who work 10 jobs and have 5 femtoseconds of free time per year to point you towards if you ask for any level of challenge in a video game
>>730887476>"saves" gaming>every action game is just a different flavor of his mediocrity
>>730887476for the sake of discussion, im going to associate a certain design philosophy fromsoft has with an imaginary person working at fromsoftware called "gary".gary is responsible for each fromsoftware game feeling more diluted than the last, from the worlds they present to the mechanics. gary wants to modernize fromsoftware games, he wants to mold them exactly to the impression general audiences that never played demon's souls have of souls games, probably to make them more palateable and sell more copies. gary thinks stakes of marika and unrestricted fast travel are good ideas. gary is why elden ring feels like an official parody and flanderization of fromsoftware.
>>730888881Better than a different flavor of DMC mediocrity
No, that was Monster Hunter. Monster Hunter led the revolution against casualization and remains more hardcore than Souls ever was. All Miyashitty did was>Let's rip off Monster Hunter but make the precise and detailed combat rollslop>Perfect
>>730887476You're right but everyone is going to say you're wrong because they are fucking casuals.
>>730887476More like gave terminal cancer to most gaming communities because the literal fucking masochists he raised shit up every community about how playing like a retard to make everything as slow and tedious as possible with massive losses of progress is the only correct way to play while being the most dogshit players at every game, because skillful and smart play is "easymode". They literally just pretend that their self torture and wasting of time is "skillful" and "challenging"....He literally just normalized masochism.
>>730887476>he bridged the gap between classic hardcore gaming(...)Son, did you even play Ecco the Dolphin (genesis) ? 13 year old kids beat that - just because they had nothing else. Thinking souls is 'hard' or 'hardcore gaming'. I laugh and jest and point. "Ha" I say. Ha!
>>730888816Gamer dads hate souls and complain about them not respecting your time all the time. They love shit like RDR2 or Dad of War instead.
>>730891789>monster hunter
>>730892502The hardest games in those days were the cryptic ones, because you didn't have any guides.
>>730892853Did you post all of these, shiteater?
>saves 3rd person hns genre from press to awesome ohk everything on sight godmode>kills it with 4000 moves 1 trillion hp boss get hit and lose 99% hp memory games where your only defense is rollslopa little step back would be nice
