As a Souls’ player since PS3 Demons Souls, this concept is so foreign to me and I love it. I have opened the crafting menu to craft a furnace pot once and instead beat my head against the game over and over until I “succeeded”.
Crafting used to be fairly useless (glowstones exempted) and now you’ve convinced me to do a “crafting only” run and make try make it ER a survival game. Not like I needed another 150 hours invested in this masterpiece.
Hundreds of years ago, society was so bored that we all gathered together to watch people kill each other in an arena. If we were lucky we would get to see bloodshed and the emperor will release the lions!
Humans have been playing games far longer than the digital age has been going on for. Why would anyone pay to watch people throw a ball around for hours? I guess it’s fun to watch?
