This man basically makes western ARPGs, how they should be made. There's basically nothing Japanese about the DaS series.
Literally who?

That's why "critics" pretend to like it.

Yes. It's all pseudo European fantasy.

why would critics pretend to like it if being a cynical asshole would net far more traffic to their sites? the reviewer that gives it a 6 would get more attention from places like this cesspool and other sites that think cynicism= intellect. In a sea of 9s and 10s the 6 is what you fucks would love to plaster the threads with.

Nerd cred. That way when people call them casuals, they can prove they're hardcore. It could also be an attempt to show Japan how to "properly" make games for the western audience (e.g. no anime art-style).
There's always a chance they genuinely like it, but the past few years make me doubt that very much. At this point, I'm surprised your typical video game "journalist" can figure out how to put their pants on in the morning without a lengthy tutorial first.

If Souls was western rpg it'd all be open fields, it has Japanese action-adventure level design.

With katanas

That sounds like a fuckton of JRPGs.

>Overall game design
>Bosses design
>The boss centred gameplay itself (in most western games bosses are an afterthought)
>Japanese approach to difficulty
>Overall atmosphere and design is based on Berserk, a Japanese comic book
