I agree with the person you were replying to, and I am glad that the Souls formula isn't the norm (I've played all of them, and haven't finished a one)...

But the Soulses get a pass from me personally, because their whole thing is about being present in the moment and overcoming what appear to be unbeatable odds. It's the closest thing in modern gaming that gave me the feeling of being crushed by, and overcoming, the first Airship level in Mario 3.

That said, I'm not against accessibility option in a Souls game, so long as they're optional.

Yup. Sometimes I like the Souls experience, and sometimes I just want a decent story and fun gameplay (e.g. Yakuza games). Give me all the options and I'll decide based on the game.

Oh hey sugar_in_your_tea - I'm starting to recognize you from a couple of other comment threads in this community :)

I hope that's a good thing :)

Haha yeah, I remember we disagreed on something, but now I can't remember what. Can't have been too fundamental, anyway -- see you around!
