Ok, that wasn't what I expected. He makes good points.

FWIW, Dark Souls 1 was absolutely worth the pain. I consider that 1st playthrough one of the best gaming experiences of my life. It also ruined Skyrim for me because the combat in Skyrim is so unsatisfying after the Dark Souls experience.

Trying to think of a game where my experience matches the video though. If I play a great game and then find it boring after X hours, I just stop playing. My past is littered with unfinished games.
