i remember watching this video on youtube that was recommended to me titled "How Souls Games Saves You", and it posed an interesting situation. before this video popped up, i saw some of my favorite youtubers and completely random internet strangers talk about how dark souls specifically saved them from ending their lives. apparently the triumph over the bosses even after you die countless times had had a profound effect on their mindset. apparently it gave them a new sense of hope and confidence, and how it pulled them out of the darkest pit of their lives.
i admit, i started demon's souls a week ago on my PS3 and the time i've played it while dying multiple times and looking up strategies, it did take my mind off of whatever and i did genuinely feel amazing after beating the first boss and going through the second level. theoretically, it did save me. but a game cannot change the reality of the situation of why i want to die in the first place. yes, for people whose only problem in life are insecurities and issues with loving themselves (no shame if you're one of them, but just remember that people love you and there's always other options), triumphing dark souls might indeed save them.
what do you guys think? wanna hear your opinions.
