AI bros are 100% delusional. This looks like utter shit, bro. The only "okay" parts are straight up ripped from WoW. The best parts of your "game" are worse versions of WoW assets, let's that sink in. This is the sadest thing. It's not just that they can't create art, they lack the […]

If I don't keep my car roadworthy and crash into yours, it hasn't gone "rogue", it's my negligence and I'm responsible. If my dog attacks you, I am liable. There are no rogue AIs, just negligent AI companies. Prosecute them.

Also, how can a difficulty option that came out YEARS after the game release manage to hurt the game design? The game was already done :D

And it's considered one of the best Souls-like too so you're objectively wrong here."
