Are Gamers cringe wannabe Progamers?

[Drimon]

Back in the Day of Demon Souls/DS1 the Games wer praised for the difficulty and that its Not Casual.
The small but fast growing Fanbase was Happy.

With every new SoulsLike from FromSoftware there wer more and more Fans and some of them get Kind of stupid/cringe.
Calling a From Game to easy, or Debate about stuff Nobody Cares about.
They want to be ProGamer Snowflakes... this is stupid, Lonely and sad.

Why does so many People have the need to be seen as "ProGamers" from People they dont even know?
I mean Nobody Cares if a hard Game is to easy for you?
Or that this and this Game (Nioh) is Harder?
This is Not a Challenge for the Studios to make a even Harder Game.
Gamedesign is important and Not just how hard it is.

So Nobody Cares abour your wannabe Skill lvl.

Touch Gras and dont be a sad Person who seems to only have Games to flex in your life.

Elden Ring is the only defining characteristic of my personality, and I refuse to undergo ego death just to agree with you.

Dark Souls games could've been my most loved games, if the annoying fanbase didn't just love to kick everyone in the teeth for the sake of doing it.

Maybe your teeth should git gud and stop falling out so easy.

Yes, how dare they base their entire personality on an absolutely wholesome guy who loves to help people and the sun. Shame on them!

As if wouldn't be totally cringeworthy to base your own personality off a fictional character, which is also your duty to save his sorry ass from becoming mad and infested with brain-eating maggots, once he discovers he was being a poor delusional fool since the day it woke.

Is this your (read: everybody) IRL idol?

They really don't. And even if they did, you can still love the games despite said fanbase as you simply don't have to interact with them, even though you go out of your way to do the opposite for whatever reason.

No one can simply play From's games and not get exposure to the community lunatic ramblings. These games, for good or ill, conditioned pretty much everything, and there are still heated discussions here and there everyday, regarding From's games.

And to this very today, the majority of Fromsoftware communities are still perceived by normies as "mixed bag; kind of unwelcoming/toxic", no matter how you all try to say otherwise.

"Are Gamers cringe"

Yep, not limited to but most definitely including yours for example.

They conditioned everything? Even the conditioner I use? That's why my hair tells me to git gut.

Maybe by you and some guys you surround yourself with. I have yet to meet a more wholesome bunch who are this fun to hang out with.
Also, the memes, videos and so on created by this community are in contrast as goofy as Dark Souls is depressing. Calling them unwelcoming or toxic is not only wrong but you referring to a bunch of guys who can be found within every single community. They are just there to troll and you are letting them live in your head my man.

As much as your posts indicate a disdain for the community, you are as much a part of this as all the others. What exactly makes you keep coming back if the community is this terrible?
And honestly man, I sometimes wonder if you are just a guy larping as Kalameet, the dragon who hates everything and I am falling victim to an elaborate troll over and over again lmao

The title reads like bad clickbait.

[Edgy]

This game is so easy people literally beat it with dancing mat

[Gr4vityFalls]

These games are artificially made harder by the souls player base, just get the correct level and weapons/spells and melt everything you face, literally.

[Senki]

i mean I agree people that try to brag about it are annoying but if someone is simply talking about the game's balance normally and calling it too easy then it's a fair thing to say. I think these games can be abused a bit too easily as well, especially ER.

Elitism in gaming did not start with Demon's Souls, but sooner. Already a thing when i was playing with a NES. So no surprise on this.

[楊玄。杨玄。LangrisserWWE]

It is a brand. Souls like = challenging. People enjoy this will buy it.
This of course only happens in wonderland(or lala land) because many people do buy a game expecting something the game is not meant to be.

Then they scream and whine for the developers to make it easier...

And so we read this type of topic many times.

Imagine buying my little pony wonderland and screamed to developers that there are ponies... or buying coke and screaming at the shop keeper because it doesn't taste like mountain dew.

Nothing to do with showing off how skillful we are. We know what we bought, others probably don't, but proceed to pull a KAREN on the game forum. Then we have thread like this...

Yep.

I Love all From Games since Demon Souls so i dont cry or Care about how easy or hard the Game is.

My Problem is that there are so many sad People who wants to be Elite ProGamers and brag about stupid stuff Like "this Game IS easy af... Try Nioh ITS so much better because so much Harder"
But the Problem is that Nobody cares and its so stupid to say.

That people call this Games to hard is stupid but this is Not what this Thread is about

Genuine question now - why do you care so much about someone's boasting, to the point of calling it a problem? Wouldn't it be better to just laugh it off instead of writing this here rant?
