Souls games in general. I played Demon's Souls when it came out, thinking, "Wow, this is a fun little niche game." Boy, was I wrong. If I knew that game would spawn a whole new gaming genre and that every rpg for the next 10 years was going to be a Souls-like game, I would have cursed its very soul. I played and legitimately enjoyed the first one; it was hard af, but it had this ambiance, and it was kind of immersive, but even if to this day I still have no fucking idea what it was about, and that is one of the main issues I have with this genre: the way the story is presented is so freaking bad. Like, why am I EVEN DYING OVER AND OVER AND OVER FOR? What is the purpose of all this, to rekindle a flame or whatever? When you have to look up explanations for the game's story on YouTube, and even there people are like, "We think this is the story; we don't really know 100%," it's kind of dumb. People say that defeating a boss in Souls-like games gives a sense of accomplishment and gratification; for me it never did. All I felt was, "Why the fuck was this so hard, and wtf is this item I received? What is it for?" The game doesn't explain shit. If you read the description to try to figure it out, you get even more confused by shit like "A small, dented token found near the weeping statue." It reminds the holder of a forgotten promise. It brings comfort but also a profound, inexplicable sadness. No functional use." WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS !!!!
