Real talk I've never liked anything soulslike specifically because of the kinds of difficulty-fetishists it attracts. After the first time it became clear the only thing soulsbros know how to say is "git gud", I wrote them off the same way I write off MOBA addicts and Riot fanboys.
I mentioned something similar in another thread here but the "git gud" fans are probably the worst consequence of fromsoft's games gaining popularity. Basing a large part of their personality on "I can beat this (perceived) difficult game and anyone who can't is trash" is just so pathetic. My 12-year-old nephew can beat these games so bragging that you can do something a pre-teen can is so weird. It's to the point that I actively avoid any kind of souls game community because interacting with them is so off-putting.
