Dark Souls 2 Reviews: Worth Worrying About?
Added 2014-03-05 18:39:20 +0000 UTCThis ended up being slightly more of a ramble than I initially planned it to be, but hopefully you'll find it interesting! It's a lengthy chat about the realities of the review process, and how valuable most early reviews of Dark Souls 2 are likely to be.

Yes that is sort of the issue with Cult Classic games. They're certainly not for everybody, but when you're into them, you are REALLY into them. I love Harvest Moon games for example, and I know on a purely intellectual level and to most people I am sure, they suck. But I love them. I don't know if it's the relaxing atmosphere or the juvenile approach to romance, but I love it and spend an embarrassing chunk of my life on it lol. So when I do go to look up a review (so as to see how this one stacks up to others I love) I don't go to a newcomer to the series, but a veteran like me who will know specifically how it stacks up to the others. That and it has the bonus benefit of being out of the public eye, so no pressure from that end either, since I think you hit the nail on the head with that one as well.
