Same. It's especially frustrating when people get hyper specific about genres. Specifically, claiming that black myth wukong is not a souls like because reasons, so I bought it and suffered through the first two chapters before giving it up. I don't care what monkey minutia makes it not a souls like, it has punishing bosses and no difficulty settings.

    I always found funny when the soulslike tryharders get pissy about difficulty settings and hyper specific about bullshit. To me, those people seem like they are trying so hard to gatekeep in order to keep the genre a niche that only them can enjoy. As if they were afraid that the genre became too "casual". It's kinda pathethic when a community (be it soulslike or any other one full of tryharders) wants to keep something in a certain way so nobody else can enjoy it. As if they were afraid that "impure" people could rob them their fun or something.

    I don't play souls likes that have no difficulty settings. I'm nearing 50 and my reaction times are not what they used to be. Sometimes I just need to tone it down to be able to enjoy a game.
