I honestly can't believe it. First - let me introduce myself. I'm a real OG. Yeah. I played Dark Souls, so I know what I'm talking about. I can't believe Miyazaki let some board room push him and his vision around, but we as true From Soft Gamers ("Fromers") should know better. How could we betray our Creator so?
If you are using summons, you are NOT playing the way God and Miyazaki intended. SORRY - but summons are just another name for easy mode, and real Fromers DON'T play easy mode. Summons are just a way for weak non-GAMERS to get CARRIED.
If you are using spirit ashes, you are NOT playing the way God and Miyazaki intended. SORRY - but spirit ashes are what is called easy mode, and real Fromers DON'T play easy mode. They're a way for weak non-GAMERS to get carried without an internet connection.
If you are using sorceries or incantations, you are NOT playing the way God and Miyazaki intended. SORRY - but magic is just another name for easy mode, and real Fromers DON'T play easy mode. Magic is a way for weak non-GAMERS to avoid learning enemy attack patterns.
If you are using archery, you are NOT playing the way God and Miyazaki intended. SORRY - but archery is just another name for easy mode, and real Fromers DON'T play easy mode. Archery is a way for weak non-GAMERS to skip fights with cheese.
If you are using crafting, you are NOT playing the way God and Miyazaki intended. SORRY - but crafting is just another name for easy mode, and real Fromers DON'T play easy mode. Crafting is a way for weak non-GAMERS to get free items and that's fucking disgusting.
If you are using weapon leveling, you are NOT playing the way God and Miyazaki intended. SORRY - but smithing is just another name for easy mode, and real Fromers DON'T play easy mode. Smithing is a way for weak non-GAMERS to artificially raise their DPS, allowing them to circumvent the mastery required for a prolonged boss fight.
If you are using flask enhancers, you are NOT playing the way God and Miyazaki intended. SORRY - but buffed flasks are just another name for easy mode, and real Fromers DON'T play easy mode. Flask buffs are a way for weak non-GAMERS to get bonus health to let them skip learning from all their mistakes
If you are using armor, you are NOT playing the way God and Miyazaki intended. SORRY - but armor is just another name for easy mode, and real Fromers DON'T play easy mode. Armor is a way for weak non-GAMERS to tank extra hits, it's the same as flasks and even summons
If you want to play the way GOD and Miyazaki (have you ever seen these two in the same room???) intended, you need to strip yourself of all wordly possessions, barring the biggest Great Sword you have ever seen. Two hand that mother fucker and git ready to GIT. GUD. These games are meant to be HARD, so stop abusing all the mechanics that fix that.
I realize some people don't level up or use site of graces or even use weapons but we all know they're crazy. Why would Miyazaki put stuff like great swords in the game if we weren't supposed to use them???
