Unironically what's the appeal of these games?

I feel like most of you homosexuals started playing them because of peer pressure and validation seeking, with all the ecelebs and redditors shilling the shit out of them as "must play" "classic" "masterpiece" you felt like you had to play them to feel like a real gaymer, to not be embarrassed in vidya discussion and to be a cool "souls vet"
As you played them for the first time, you realized it's fricking unfun garbage, you were very frustrated but you kept forcing yourself through out of pride, because shaming is common in this cult, you don't want to be told "filtered" "git gud" "skill issue".
These games are designed so that you get a "reward" in the form of a relief after beating a frustrating boss fight, just in time before it gets too frustrated and you quit the game. And then you get into a sunk cost fallacy and you keep playing it until the end. After finishing the game you finally get to be part of the fromsoftware brand cult, it was a fricking torture but you cope, you invent poetic attributes to the game and you disregard all the obvious flaws and lack of basic features.

    i tgought dark aouls 1 was fantastic. great setting that felt original, wonderful interconnected world, puniahing combat that didnt go over the top with every boss having infiniite hp bar and 5 different phases, slow movement that seemed ro resonate with the depressive setting, memorable music and so on.
    2, 3 and elden ring were passionless cashgrabs to me. bloodborne was different enoigh to be interesting, demons souls was cool but feels like a beta version of ds1 when you go back to it, sekiro is a completely different game.

    I think the appeal of these games is very simple.
    You die a lot. You lose souls when you die. You want to get back to those souls.
    This loss/recovery cycle forces you to start being very deliberate. You start making little plans about how you will move through the world.

    its this planning element that really is the charm of these games, in my opinion. many games dont have this, you just run to where you need to be.

    Exploration and secrets
    I have heard others say that they’re similar to Zelda in that regard which I haven’t played, but if you have then you probably get the idea.

      Zelda games are fun, incredibly detailed and polished, full of sandbox activities and features, they are a gem of technology and engineering
      Don't compare Zelda to soulshit

    exploring and finding new things(equipment, magic, environments, bosses) and using that equipment and magic to overcome those environments and bosses
    it's really not complicated.

    Atmosphere, bosses, enemy variety, gameplay, combat, story, characters, setting, pacing and art. All of them make the games more engaging (both in and outside of the game) and to me personally that's the most important thing a game should do.

      This is all true but one thing that I've grown to increasingly appreciate more with time is the fact that there's very little talking, cutscenes and such and you start playing/controlling your character almost the moment you start the game but the story telling isn't lacking. FromSoft has this way of succinctly telling a story that doesn't get into the way of gameplay but it makes the world you're in even richer than some games that expo dump on you dozens of texts and mindless npc chatters and cinematic cutscenes.

          That's why I said with time. There are still good games like that being made but they're mostly indie. I cannot stand most AAA games for that reason among others.
