Gamesradar explains why it placed Dark Souls at the very top of its top 100 games of all time list.

"Hey everyone! Look at the troll! Amazing, isn't he? Witness his ham-fisted hostility! Observe his pointless comment! Consider his jumping-off-the-screen levels of anger and frustration, for no one to care about. In fact, I'm probably foolish in "taking the bait" by actually replying to his comment, but it's not him I'm talking to right now, but rather all those on this thread that have been discussing the subject in a mannered, civilized way. But not this guy! "Jimbo-gee" seems to think that calling all fans of Dark Souls "boring cunts" (within an article celebrating the game's awesomeness, no less) is worth ANY of our time or attention, when in fact it just makes it abundantly clear that: a) this fellow is clearly a troll of the highest order b) this fellow was raised to be an ignorant pimple on the skin of the world c) this fellow has difficultly stringing words together in a clear and organized manner d) this fellow probably has fewer social graces in real life compared to his online persona e) this fellow is probably refreshing his page constantly, just waiting for someone like me to take the bait, which simply reinforces his "troll of the highest order" status. Well, jimbo-gee, I'll bite. After all, as a fan of Dark Souls, you basically just called ME a boring cunt. And you know what? I REALLY don't appreciate that. So let's take a look at your comment, line by line, shall we? "Are you serious?" Right off the bat, amusing. What do you think, smart guy? The man just wrote a very passionate article about his love for the game and (something yours lacks completely) a compelling reason why. But you still had to burn keystrokes asking? Really? "This game is a pile of poop and the people who play it are boring cunts". Aside from being personally insulted, I do enjoy how you'll effortless drop "cunt" but steer clear of using the big boy version of "poop". Are you as imbalanced in real life as you are on this thread? I'm guessing probably. No one with an sense of clarity or dignity would stoop to such a level. You do realize that everyone who read that now sees you as something worse than what you accuse us of being, right? Just to be clear: YOU HAVE IMPRESSED NO ONE. "Greatest game of all time fuck off!." Lack of punctuation aside, eh, no. We are not going to simply "fuck off" because you said so. Now, if you had a compelling reason as to WHY Dark Souls is not the greatest game of all time, we are all ears. So...your point (sort of a requirement among such posts) is...what, exactly? Oh. You didn't like Dark Souls. Fine. Do you really think we needed to hear that? Better still, did you think being a huge douche about it would make your (non-existent) point any stronger? If so, you have UTTERLY FAILED. "Even if playsation gave this to me for free I wouldn't play it". Misspelling aside, if you are a PS+ member, they did give away Demon's Souls, which is pretty damn close, so one could argue they sort of did. But, of course, it is entirely your right to not play any game you don't want to play. That is called making a decision, which you've made. We all make decisions, many every single day. But just because you made a decision does not mean you need to alert the world of it. I can name hundreds of games I wouldn't play, even if given to me for free, because I consider my time to be fairly valuable. I will not list them, though, because NOBODY WOULD CARE (especially if there is no point to go along with it). Further, this implies that you haven't ever played Dark Souls, which renders your already pointless comment that much more pointless. In fact, your comment has officially stumbled into "staggering waste of time" territory for all parties involved, your loss being the worst since you had to spend the time typing it and posting it. I'll assume you didn't waste any time thinking about it, though. That much seems obvious. ""Oh PC's the master race" A master race of fucking idiots who come up with shit like this." First off, I'm not even going to question your completely-out-of-nowhere "PC master race" remark. Couldn't even guess where that is coming from. But it is kind of amusing in a "wow, this comment has gone completely off the rails" kind of way. More so, are you referring to Dark Souls when you say "shit like this"? Because Dark Soul's roots are in consoles, not PC. So a major swing and miss there, buddy. "Fallout, Baldurs Gate, Oblivion, Duke Nukem, miles better than that pile of garbage." Now you seem to be defending the PC by citing some of its strongest titles, in complete contrast to your previous line. So you either are completely failing to make whatever point you wanted to make (because, believe me, I see none) or you cannot make up your own mind, driven by some uncontrollable urge to share for all to see. But either way, in any case, you are still just a stinking troll, worthless of point or cause."
