Long time fromsoft player and the git gud bullshit annoys the hell out of me.

It's just elitist, gatekeeping garbage. And this is coming from someone who puts my summon sign down regularly to help people.

For games built with and to some degree around cooperative gameplay, people aren't very good at being helpful to each other in discussions about the games.

That's why I don't participate in any of the online communities and just play with no headset. I'll help people defeat bosses because I have a great time doing it. Outside of that I find the community kinda off putting.

Edited to add - not all folks in the fromsoft communities are elitist, some are actually very kind, but there's just enough weird elitism that I find it to be unpleasant.
