  • Some people just like complicated rule sets that allow for complex character builds.

    Plus the atmosphere design is top notch. Video game writing is usually shit, so instead of that the souls games just go with an immersive vibe instead of getting bogged down into specifics.

    Think of it as a video game version of a tabletop campaign. Youre given a weird fantasy world, a bunch of rules to experiment and make a character to with, and some really good monsters to use your build against.

    Idk it’s just fun to me and nothing really scratches that itch except ARPGs, but those are usually more RNG focused with randomized loot while souls game let’s you hyperfocus on an exact build.

    Also lol. Same bullshit people say about TTRPG fans. “Oh you failed at real life so you need escapism.” What a chuddy thing to say.

    The world’s a fuck. Let me get immersed in something instead of thinking about plague and Nazis constantly.
