Dark Souls "fandom"
Dark Souls fandom before the Pc release was fucking great though.
After that the floodgate for all the journeys and newfags opened.
>[videogame you like] "fandom"
fanatics were a mistake
I WANT TO HAVE A SEXUAL FLING WITH TOPH AND HAVE HER DUMP ME AFTER A FEW WEEKS BECAUSE SHE GOT BORED OF ME!!!
>any fandom
Not really. It was mostly the memetic internet culture around this game and "le Dark Souls is hard" lie.
I unironically hate that there are HUNDREDS of youtubers dedicated solely to Soulslike games. Its annoying. And they are either lore autists or make meme videos with wacky builds with JoJo music in the background.
Is there any fanbase gayer than Souls/Sekiro?
>What? You beat the game using summons? THEN YOU DIDN'T REALLY BEAT THE GAME DID YOU
>What? You beat the game using a shield? THEN YOU DIDN'T REALLY BEAT THE GAME DID YOU
>What? You beat the game using a BK sword? THEN YOU DIDN'T REALLY BEAT THE GAME DID YOU
>What? You beat the game above SL1? THEN YOU DIDN'T REALLY BEAT THE GAME DID YOU
>What? You didn't beat NG+7? THEN YOU DIDN'T REALLY BEAT THE GAME DID YOU
>What? You didn't do a charmless run? THEN YOU DIDN'T REALLY BEAT THE GAME DID YOU
I can't think of another fanbase this gay.
>warhammer fandom
>soulsborne fandom
>elder scrolls fandom
What other fandom has a good amount of social retards who will barge in any conversation with a 30 minute slideshow about their epic lore?
Word "soulslike" makes me cringe
imagine ever giving a single shit about any fandom or fanbase at all, grow up.
Zig Forums
Pc version made the game easily accessible for the normalfag cancer though.
The oversaturation is also partially through the pc release and increased popularity. Lore and meme videos were fine in 2011, newfags picking it up and milking it for an entire decade is what's so cringe about it.
>Dark Souls fandom before the Pc release was fucking great though.
Wrong, it was the same since DeS.
Retard consoleonly faggot.
One playerbase I sometimes see as being labelled the genuine worst on Zig Forums is the L4D competitive crowd. What actually makes them that bad?
>PC version
>Normalfag cancer
You're fucking deluded. The PC audience is much smaller than the 360 audience was.
Just download the game and play a match with them. You will see why after 20 seconds.
This.
Look up some of the old DeS memes, they're literally plebbit rage comics.
The L4D community in general is pretty dogshit.
Normalfags on console got filtered hard or they manned up and pushed through.
Pcfags didn't go through the initial blind suffering console players did because of how things about the game became common knowledge.
Sorry, are we talking about normalfags or how people "didn't really beat the game" because you could look shit up on the internet?
Fuck you and your goalposts, faggot.
>JoJo autists
Thanks you reminded me of a worse fan base.
Pc newfags were the downfall of Souls "community" that's all there is to it.
lol
All fandoms turn to shit, all we can do is ignore retards and just like the thing we like by itself and on our own
The only thing PC did was enable easy access to video recording which is where you're getting the idea that it "opened the floodgates" or some shit. Because the videos you watched on YouTube are, of course, of people playing on PC because what loser is going to buy a capture card to record his shitty gameplay of dark souls on a 360? Now if you want to say dark souls content on YouTube opened the floodgates and ruined your game, go for it. I'm not watching shitty DS videos from 2011 to confirm or deny this theory.
I wanna fuck a Toph
maybe it's communities themselves that are cancerous
>all these consolefags thinking their fandom was any good before PC versions happened
Don't flatter yourself. It was always shit and there was always this whole "Dark Souls is so hard i died in the menu xDDDD" culture i absolutely fucking hate.
Mainly because these games aren't fucking hard, but a retarded dopamine starved zoomer autist will die a lot because it has plenty of traps that punish gameplay that modern AAA games make people used to.
Most of Dark Souls fans haven't even played the games. They literally just watch meme and lore videos on YouTube.
