I hate every souls game after dark souls. They just aren't even really the same games anymore. They transitioned from slow and clunky combat to ninja gaiden. I believe this was intentional because then they made games like sekiro. Sometimes games just genre shift to follow the market and become unrecognizable. That's how they shifted all the way to being and open world Ubisoft game with boring loot.

I just like being dropped in a game with almost no explanation and dying repeatedly until I find the exploits.

I attempted a Dark Souls 3 playthrough about a year and a half ago and was flabbergasted. It was as if the series became a parody of itself. I imagine the popular conception of Dark Souls being this impossibly difficult game got to the devs, and they just decided to follow through on that conception to absurdity with each new instalment.

The first two games were difficult, but they were fair. Anybody can reasonably complete both games if they took the time to learn. Dark Souls 3 was a game made for autistic superfans, the ones that play these games for thousands of hours and memorised every boss pattern down to the frame. The fact that it's gotten even worse is no surprise.

Yeah it seems that way. So they can become gods or something. I don't know. I feel absolutely duped by this company right now. Really strange and sudden shift to ******/degenerate **** with this DLC. Not sure if its because the slopes are feeling international heat right now by the LGBT apple fritter gang or what.

"Eternally boyish twink lusts after older brother" sounds like some kind of gay porn parody. Not an actual game someone made.

And of course in the usual fashion the plot that surrounds this insanity is indecipherable.

Yeah, but, it's hard to obfuscate "****** character puts the soul of a man in the body of xir brother and turns them into xir consort" using Fromsoft-tier "lore-writing"

Unless the Game of Thrones fatty wrote that part to "subvert heckin expectations about gender" or whatever. But that guy is old and shits his pants most likely, I doubt he even cares about stuff like this.

Honestly, the more I think about this the more ****** up it gets.

No.
Attributing everything wrong in the world to WW2 is an incredibly lame "both sides do it" issue. History did not begin in 1939.

By the logic that America(and the west) is pozzed because the "wrong side won", shouldn't Russia also be pozzed since they also won?

Well,

1) I think there is a good case to be made for Russia being pozzed, and
2) It was a joke

Russia is pretty pozzed. There's no based countries around these days, just varying degrees of degeneracy. Russia has an extremely high rate of divorce, alcohol abuse, and crime.
My argument would just be that European society lost as a whole after those two world wars. I guess only Israel won, even they have extreme degeneracy that I'm sure they don't want Jewish people to engage in. I know they push miscegenation, *****, and gay **** everywhere else but I know they don't want it for their people, even if they tolerate it for now.

How is that different from Russia historically? I guess there was less divorce?

i meant it less in a sense of 'they're so pozzed' and more that they've been culturally gutted as a result of losing the war

Germany is filled with furries and other degeneracy, and can't have an ounce of national pride lest they be labeled as Nazis

Japan made anime, and that speaks for itself.

Are you sure it was WW2 that caused them to be culturally gutted?
Because I'd attribute it to the Russian revolution & civil war, personally.

I disagree. They're presented as freaks and you kill them. This isn't at all the same as some random ubisoft game that gives you a wise-cracking, mystery meat female sidekick with the goal of normalizing the degeneracy. Here, the goal is to allow the player to gawk at and be repulsed by something that must be defeated and eliminated. Is hollywood following a white supremacist agenda by making all of the movie villains white males?

The antagonist literally hypnotized all of his "followers" and turned one of the most liked characters from the original game into a Rape Puppet. Nobody is playing this thinking "wow, I love **** now."

This is not true, people are thinking that RIGHT NOW. I would go as far as to say the developers were probably thinking that while they wrote the script for this DLC.
