I find the topic of this thread to be an enormous overreaction. "L argely added due to the differences in gaming between East and West "? What, you think that eastern culture is more sadistic or something?

There is no BS mechanics added in this game. True, some of the game is buggy or is not designed the way we would want it. I may hate the Soul Memory system as far as Co-op is concerned, but you don't seem me creating a thread accusing eastern gaming of being facist. Every element of this game has a mechanic that can be learned and adapted to. The only real threat players face are temporary lapses in short-term memory and overconfidence. The game brutally punishes you when you screw up. So forgetting that most enemies can still easily kill you regardless of that Havel's Armor you're wearing, or charging head first into a group of Archdrake Knights just because you recently leveled up enough strength to dual wield Greatswords, will still get you killed.

The tagline of Dark Souls was "Prepare to Die". If dying continously is why you are so mad at this game, then you should probably stop playing because this game was not made for you.
