Understanding things is not a requirement to write about them on Kotaku.

I don’t disagree with the criticism that DS2 mostly has lackluster bossfights, but I wonder how much that perception might have shifted if Darklurker wasn’t a hidden end-game boss fight. If Darklurker was a required boss that showed up around the halfway point of the game I feel like that opinion would be at least a…

I admire your bravery in putting Dark Souls 2 up there. Its a game that deserves so much love than it gets. Its undeniably a mess but you can really get lost in that mess in a way you can’t really with DS3.

I never even thought about it in terms of quarantine, but now that I think about it I’ve platinum’d the last 5 or 6 games I’ve played haha.
