MODERATORS
Don't bring arcade games into this. You're playing a dangerous game and you're not guaranteed to win if you besmirch the elegance of the arcade.
That said, it fucking sucks as people saw the elegant design of Demon's Souls and Dark Souls with the cool ways they tied the in-game story and the game mechanics together, the extremely good world design and level design, the open-ended 'solve the problem however you can' RPG design, the innovative way to incorporate and rejuvenate once-boring multiplayer and story-telling techniques, and instead of being inspired to do anything cool with those or being inspired to change their thoughts on games they just went "I fucking love i-frame dodge rolls and big bosses and +12% stagger damage amulet equips".
