It wouldn't necessarily. But it's so grating that I wanted nothing to do with whatever people were losing their fucking minds over. It didn't help that if you didn't like it or found it too difficult, people would shit all over you for having a dissenting opinion. The way people acted about it, especially the sort of superiority around it, was really gross and not something I wanted to be a part of.
As for the every game should be like Dark Souls cult? There's a thread on the front page here of that exact thing. It's excessive.

It's natural to associate products with their fanbases. And Dark Souls has a sizable amount of fans who are incredibly annoying in their constant proselytizing and inability to talk about anything else. I've been a DaS fan since Day 1, and even I notice how ridiculous it gets at times. It won't effect you once you begin playing, but it definitely can be a deterrent to anyone that browses forums to see the ad-nauseum "Dark Souls GOTYAY EVERY GAME SHOULD BE DARK SOULS" type of posts.
I understand your position, it just doesn't make any sense. You don't need to be best friends with everyone else that likes a game. Every beloved franchise has parts of the fanbase that take things way to far. It's such a bizarre reason to not play a game that you might otherwise be interested in.

I think the player progression in dark souls is a failure of sorts. I've put 70 hours or so into that game and nothing was as exciting as the first 1/3rd or whatever. I too am guilty of evangelizing dark souls, but it's a deeply flawed experience. I am very curious about the sequel.
I was watching an old TNT and seeing Patrick without the beard/goatee was a big shock, I barely recognized him, so weird....

Oh jesus that LOLS. Dark Vinny is back.
Someone needs to photoshop a "heeeeeere's Vinny!" gif.

He looked 12 in the one I was watching from 2011. Cute little bugger.
Patrick said FF8 not FF7.
9 is worse than both unless you're a big fan of main characters with tails.

You guys need to lure Jared in with another wrestling stream, and then lock him in the quick look room or something until Twitch fixes this shit.
Have you been able to speak with those guys at all? Get any insight into why exactly they'd can a feature they know full well people like you were relying on?

Two Brothers Quick Look coming tomorrow!
Odds on a "Long awaited sequel to one of the top 10 games of 2013" or similar gag coming in the first few minute?

Made an edit to the OP to reflect Patrick's recent comments.
Except that FFVIII is shit. Rankings, whatever. Eight was straight trash.
The edits!

Can't help but wonder what difficulty he had the AI set to. I have it at unbeatable now, with most of my playtime being on the one before that and the AI is brilliant and very rarely acts in the way he describes. It's the first racing game I've played that actually presents a challenge with the AI and it feels really rewarding to beat them. They actively defend their position and handle corners smartly for the most part.
Not to mention Forza has always had really aggressive AI. If GT has old gentlemen driving leisurely the racing line then Forza 3/4 had their grandchildren taking joyrides.

Watch the quick look and I think its on the xbox launch day stream as well. You can see the drivers acting like he describes, they do it in my game too
Dont forget that future Jeff timetraveled back to our era, married a woman named Ultima and became an attorney

I have, which is why I ask what drivatar difficulty he has it set to. The behavior changes dramatically as you crank it up, and why wouldn't you?
And as mentioned Forza has always had ram happy AI so the vast majority of the AI improvements more than make up for any issues on even the lower difficulties.

People are confusing cheesing (Curu's wall notch trick) with crutches (Drake Sword), they are COMPLETE opposites.
If you're unsure the target, why the conviction that I was? If you're unsure of the message, how do you know to defend yourself?

Add Luigi to Jeff's list of enemies while you're at it.
Yup
Good posts.
He's not just putting on heavy armor, he's putting on the heaviest armor and using a spell that makes you like a billion more durable.
it's not invalid, but it is totally cheesing.
What sets Dark Souls apart from most other games is that you generally don't just hold up and keep tapping the attack button. It's weird to go out of your way specifically to do that with the game. Sure, it's possible and they purposely made it possible but theres a reason you don't hear most people recommending it. It goes against the nature of the game.

Maybe if you are a driving veteran but having to crank the difficulty all the way up to see decent AI is hardly practical for the vast majority. Not going to see that realistic driving if you are sat in last place all the time.

You don't have to crank it up all the way, even at the half-way mark it's a noticeable difference. Don't get why you would race at the easier settings, it's just really boring. Game even includes multiple assists that are completely separate and a rewind function. One won't learn how to race properly otherwise. Not to mention difficulty doesn't magically give the AI nitro.
Starbound is kinda terrible at telling you what to do and how it works. Like for example that alien meat is only dropped when killed by a bow (fixed in today's patch, now a small chance to drop if killed by not-a-bow). You can make a pickaxe that digs in a 3x3 area and is much faster than the Matter Manipulator, but Jeff didn't make it. The game doesn't even hint at how to get plant fibres, Jeff was lucky with that one. The bars along the bottom that pop up aren't really that clear, like that time Jeff died of hypothermia (fixed in today's patch, the bar now looks like a thermometer which should get the idea across). The game also doesn't tell you how to farm, which while not complicated can lead to people just breaking their crops ala Minecraft and saying "Why I no get food?" (you have to press "E" on the crop to break it correctly).
Lol! I saw a commercial for this yesterday and wondered if it had been mentioned here.Not sure if this has been posted, but apparently Jeff's long lost brother (son?) is starring in Kirstie Alley's new show:
