Thanks. That's because it's the objective truth.

There's nothing objective about how you feel when making or playing a game, so that's kind of a weird way to phrase your argument. 

I didn't say the feature shouldn't be in the game, just that the Souls games are a terrible example in the OP provided. 

I'm open to other examples, I just threw in the first few I could think of that stuck in my memory; NSMB first of all cos back when that was announced, bloody hell, you'd have thought they'd announced the Super Guide was compulsory the way people flipped out. "New Mario game plays itself" was a headline on just about every big game site.
