What has the fact that you didn't buy Dark Souls 1 got to do with what I said? My point was simply that nobody is forcing you to buy or pay any attention to the series. Personally, I'm sick of people not allowing others to have differing opinions. I also got DS1 free with Gold, probably when you did (without hearing any past info about it, so I had minimal bias), and it has ended up becoming one of my favourite games of the last generation. If you believe the Dark Souls series is crap, then go ahead and continue to do so, that's fine. But that's no reason to attempt to bring those who do enjoy it down.
