Well there’s two types of gamers going on there — one type is certainly feeling special because others can’t do it, which sucks, but the other type is feeling special because it’s just plain hard. Both are based in the reality that fewer people complete a FromSoftware game vs a more typical game due to difficulty in general, but I think it’s an important distinction. Personally when I’m playing through one, I’m not thinking of the players who gave up, and that I’m better than them or something. I’m enjoying the fact that I stuck with something difficult and died many times but ultimately saw it through, as a personal gratification
