I couldn't have said it better myself. I have always thought this about the Souls fanbase. Granted, just like any other fanbase, there are awesome fans and there are the bad ones. The bad ones in the Souls fanbase are just as you have described. They think their standards of games are objective and absolute. I usually get the worst of when I say that I didn't enjoy Demons Souls, but I loved Dark Souls 1 and 2. I say Demons Souls was too clunky and unrefined, and their response is usually "You're too casual" or "Was it just too hard for you?". The other sour batch is usually when I say that I loved Dark Souls 2 and didn't have any problems with it. They're usually the ones to quickly shit on DS2, like you so described. As a normal video-gaming human, I also enjoy...you know, OTHER GAMES. When I talk about other RPGs I love like Dragon's Dogma, The Witcher, Dragon Age, the elitist Souls fans are often the most dismissive of any other game.
