#Creepypasta dungeon crawl stone soup how to#

Take this one for instance: - OP is asking how to handle being banished to the abyss, and getting advice ranging from how to not get sent there, the best strategies to escape if you do manage to get sent there, even tips for managing mentality. That right there may generate bad publicity and hurt the game rather than help it.Īs a fairly prominent member of the Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup community, I can tell you from experience that the tone of a post completely determines the amount of help you'll get. It'll also reduce instances in the media where difficulty in games is being argued and shit. You want to defend your game? You want more people to play your game? You want to help the developers make more money? Then instead of being an obnoxious, elitist asshole to those who suck and are trash, maybe take them under your wing since you clearly believe you're better than them. Fighting games, shooters, rts's, roguelikes, you name it, they most likey have elitists in them that drive newcomers away. Literally any game that takes any bit of actual skill can generate elitists.

This is beyond Dark Souls or any From Software game (their games are breeding grounds for elitists).

This vocal minority gives the entire community and game a bad reputation, which leads to less newbies willing to experiment and try it out, which overall leads to lower player numbers. Part of what makes Dark Souls such a niche game are the elitists of the community who suck the fun out of the game for everyone. And direct them to existing ones aswell? I feel like actually helping the complainers instead of making fun of them would generate less toxicity on both sides, and also increase the playerbase too. In my humble opinion, instead of beating down on lesser skilled people with bullshit like 'git gud,' why don't we try to help these people instead? Give them pointers, tips, tricks, guides, etc. These elitists have been getting more attention lately, due to hard games like Cuphead and Sekiro breaking into the mainstream, and people of lesser skill levels complaining that these games are 'too hard.' These elitists always beat down and insult these lesser skilled players, and frankly I find that retarded.

People who think they're better and above everyone else because they play hard games like Dark Souls or Meat Boy. In gaming media, there has always been elistists in games.
