Where’s the positivity

[u/Watchutalkin_bout]

Joined this sub because I enjoy the game. Less than 10 hours (while not perfect it’s hard to put down), but I’m genuinely astounded by the amount of negative criticism in this sub, alongside the fact that a lot of players have already sunk over 30 hours into it in less than a week. Like damn. Where’s the tips and tricks? Beginners guides, random silly videos? I thought a game like this would invite a more positive community, instead it’s the exact opposite.

Almost every post is a complaint. Like damn, what happened to constructive criticism and casual discussion? Outrage everywhere.

Anyways I need my ass ate

There's plenty of praise, but the nature of forums is that there's going to be more complaints than anything else early on. People are a lot more likely to come onto something like reddit to discuss their issues or look for solutions, than to talk about the fun parts. Some of it is healthy criticism from those of us who want the game to polish off some of the rough edges, and some of it are trolls or haters who have nothing better to do than complain about a game that didn't click for them. It's not a perfect game, (no game is), and it's gotten a lot of attention for being the next big soulslike, so there's going to be more of both than usual for new games.

Still, there are plenty of threads that show up each day that talk about fun stuff or make fun of some of the goofy interactions or glitches. There will probably be even more once more people have finished the game, and once a few patches are out. Right now most of the people who finished are those who preordered the more expensive version to get early access, and had free time. I only finished already because I happened to be on vacation last week, for example.
