He names Darksouls specifically as handholdy and low-tech, when the big video games in the west had been 90% grey and black/cover shooters for 5 years, and was just getting into everything needs to be an open world with repetitive content.

i hate to um actually ☝ 🤓 but A: it wasn't phil fish making that particular comment and B: they were using dark souls as an example of something that wasn't handholdy
tbf the intended new-player answer to that encounter is to fucking run and come back with a real weapon. DS1 is more about mind games and intimidation than actual difficult (though kalameet is kind of fucked)

Activision had to tell FROM specifically to put tutorials in Sekiro because they hadn’t done it in their games up to that point.
