I’m writing another post about streaming becasue why not? In the last post, I allowed myself to be distracted by the new FromSoft trailer because how the hell could I not be?! Funnily, I’m stlil not going as hard into it as I did with the last trailer, albeit a month late.
I’m a weirdo in that I don’t like to read/watch other people’s lore that much because I prefer to come up with my own. At least not before going into the thing. Watching any FromSoft trailer ahead of time is so dangerous because tehy show everything–and I mean everything. For Dark Souls III, they had the last boss on the box art.
The thing is, though, that you won’t know what any of the trailer means before you actually play the game. Krupa said this to Rory and Gav before they started the game–he could tell them exactly what was going to happen, and it would mean nothing to them. He’s right. However, if you want to go in completely unspoiled, you will most certainly not want to watch any of the trailers. They show EVERYTHING, and I mean everything. This was another thing Krupa said to the other two about the story trailer for the base game–and it was why he refused to show it to them. I watched it after watching that exchange, and he was so right about how much it revealed. I don’t remember watching it at the time, and I probably didn’t because I wanted to be fresh. I did watch this one because…well, I just wanted to watch it. Probably because I was robbed of the full joy of the last trailer.
I haven’t gotten deep into the depths of this trailer beacuse I don’t want to make myself sick of it before the DLC even drops
Anyway. I was talking about how a small, but very vocal minority of the RKG community are gate-keeping as hard as they can, and how I feel the boys are absorbing some of it to a certain extent.
I want to make it clear that I love Retry. I have been a fan since their Prepare To Try days, and I aprreciate that they are fairly toxic-free. I know that sounds damning with faint praise, but it’s really hard to find on YouTube, especially in the FromSoft community. When I dip into other FromSoft content creator chats,I leave within a few seconds. They are just so gross af toxic, I feel as if I need a shower after dipping a toe in.
