Why did Dark Souls become such a meme series?

>>376058541
marketing at the right time, when videogames were turning into a joke and everyone falling for "le gitgud xd" meme

The "difficulty" became a challenge that was very appealing to people who wanted to pretend they liked video games. From there it was picking it apart for the most youtube friendly memes to pull

The advert of twitch attention whoring faggots and also bunch of kids who watch piewdiefag fart on screen.

because people like talking about good games

PRAISE IT LOL! \[T]/

>>376058541
it's an easy game marketed to the wannabe "hardcore gamers" so everyone can pick it up and start acting as if they are expert "gamers" which is something people are proud to be these days

yeah but lots of good games dont become memes like this

Because it was ported to PC, which was when the cancer started.

the cancer is (you)

The memes were always there, it's just that they have begun to pile up

>>376058541
the game has a lot of good designs that are fun to talk about
