I don't think the general denouncement of Dark Souls II is direct evidence of elitism myself. Although I agree that some people are a little hyperbolic about how bad DS2 is (IIt's disappointing for me in most ways, though I would definitely not call it bad), but I'd argue there are more people that will love/like anything Souls-related be it good or not (fanboys). I do think there is a huge amount of elitism in this community though and part of it is because the Souls series so far has been a very high-quality line of games, which attracts a more peticular crowd, but also sets a very high set of standards for itself. I think Bloodborne looks fnatastic though and I'm so sad I'll probably not bother getting a PS4 to play it. when it comes out.
