Yea it's a big part of why I just play 10 year old video games and remasters.
Gamers killed gaming. Them telling me not to lecture people on how to spend their money everyrime I said wait until 48 hours after a game is released to see if it's actually what was advertised instead of pre-ordering everything with a marketing budget made me realize this ship wasn't correcting course 5 years ago and I've been vindicated every day since.
When i finally got around to playing Dark Souls i was so pissed that it has the toxicity around that it does. Sure it's challenging, but in way thats well designed so its actually fun. I think way more people would play and enjoy if it didn't have that bullshit around it. Like you should feel good for overcoming a challenge in a game, but its still not anything to brag about lol. It was designed for you to beat and feel good, anyone can do that
That's what pissed me off so much. Even the basic gameplay mechanics have a "try and try again until you learn and adapt and persevere" theme to them and I like that.
Exactly! And it's so well designed that it feels fun to try again and again. The early parts of the game are also designed to teach you how to play by doing - without tutorials - in a way thats intuitive and fun.
However go through this and instead of appreciating the quality design that taught them how to overcome the challeges theyre presented with think - I am become gud, true gamer of games

Yup anybody who treats playing a video game any differently than just watching a movie should get shoved in a locker.
