10 Secret Exploits That Ruined Your Favourite Video Games

8. Souls Farming (Dark Souls)

Dark Souls necessitates a massive amount of patience, rewarding persistence and determination and punishing inattentiveness and over-eagerness. That said, there’s an exploit which completely ruins the experience, permitting players to accumulate massive amounts of souls immediately with minimal investment.

The exploit itself – which involves farming souls – is easily performed, and involves cancelling a move and consuming a soul simultaneously, granting players the experience without consuming the soul in question, defeating the entire point of the game in the process.

After all, farming souls is counterproductive, rendering Dark Souls easy – which is the gameplay equivalent of making chocolate tasteless. It’s downright criminal, ruining a classic game in the most redundant way imaginable.
