Reloading for items works in all the games, but I think Dark 2 was the first time it didn't, for me.
Exactly, that and the fanbase of Dark Sous can so pretentious.
Most of that comes from the people who play the games having to figure out a lot about the game on their own, so you get a sense of pride from discovering the game yourself.
People, however, are dicks. They love to shove their knowledge of the games in people's faces. Correcting LP groups childishly when they get something wrong is very commonplace, and games like Souls are some of the worst of that due to the nature of the game.
I can dismiss most of them as 12 year olds and move on.
