It would normally. However miazki has made some statements about his love for poision swamps and giant women with out shoes. The vibes are informed by a specific kidna of masochism that lots of other games are not.
This got me thinking: Masochism isn't really the opposite of sadism, right? Even if it was, putting the player in a masochistic position doesn't make the game or the devs sadistic. Much to think about.
I would call it the complement. Not the opposite but the same with an opposed chirality.
Welp, that explains Dark souls 3
Yeah, everything makes more and more sense when considered in totality unfortunately
The games suck because the designer likes bad parts of games and has a fetish which means the games are good!
The games are good because a third bar makes all the regular gaming stuff more intresting. The game is artistic because it is about two nonbodies fighting over nothing in the middle of nowhere.
