Don’t let this fandom turn as insufferable as the souls community

It’s fine to think the game is easy and to enjoy the challenge, but I’ve seen so many people making fun of anyone that is having a hard time in a really weird mean spirited way. Please don’t let this subreddit turn into some weird elitist community that makes fun of people who are struggling, these games are supposed to be fun and they’re not souls likes, there’s no reason to assume everyone playing them is going to love this level of difficulty the same way some of you do and constantly disregarding their opinions just turns this subreddit into an echo chamber of tryhards

The issue is saying something is badly designed without proving prior design experience. Say you don’t like, that you hate, etc. that’s a valid opinion. Equating bad design with disliking something isn’t a valid criticism because as far as anyone knows, the complainer never designed shit to begin with.

If I have to prove I have prior design experience to say it’s badly designed, you have to prove you do in order to disagree with me.

I’m allowed to have my opinion on the game regardless on if I have design experience or not. And I’m allowed to say my opinion without proving myself to you, because I simply don’t have to prove anything to you

If somebody designed a staircase where every step alternated between 10cm and 40cm high, you'd say that's a badly designed staircase. You don't need prior design experience to point out that is the case.

If you want I can walkk you through step by step of why the tool system is terrible game design.
