11->''You see, the difficulty of VideoGame/DarkSouls is the single biggest narrative device the game has. You don't need to be told that you're a weak piece of trash. [[NintendoHard The game will let you know that]]. You don't need to be told that you're in a dying world: you're experiencing it. You don't need to be told that this boss is a badass and you should fear them, you'll be feeling it as battery acid pump through your veins while you helplessly flail about trying to avoid their attacks while also doing damage when they're near death, but so are you. You don't need to be told that this is a world with a cycle of pain and suffering and death with brief relief in success because that will be your life.''

17-> ''If there is a moral to the'' Dark Souls ''games, it's this: if you love something, don't hold onto it. Let it burn; let it fade. The finite rarity of life is what gives it meaning. When we passionately cling to things too tightly, we smother their flame. Death and oblivion are part of the cycle of all things, and rather than being afraid, we should understand that nothing good lasts forever.''
