About this poll
Souls fans say no. Accessibility advocates say yes. Gaming rankings sit at the intersection of nostalgia, mechanical appreciation, and pure fun. The game you spent a summer mastering will always punch above its weight on your tier list, and that's part of what makes these debates worth having. The matchup is Agree versus Disagree.
Why the question is worth voting on
Hot takes work because they force you to commit. The statement is designed to provoke a reaction — but the result, in aggregate, is the more interesting data. Sometimes the consensus on a "controversial" take turns out to be one-sided. Sometimes the population genuinely splits 50/50 on something a vocal minority pretended was settled. Both outcomes are useful.
How voting works
This is a hot take. The statement above is intentionally provocative. Vote agree if you genuinely buy the position, disagree if you don't. After voting you'll see how everyone else split — sometimes the consensus surprises.
Where the consensus stands
This poll is fresh — your vote is among the first. Be early. The first 100 voters disproportionately shape the consensus, because each new vote becomes a smaller fraction of the total. Lock in your tier list and check back later to see how the aggregate shifts as more people weigh in.
A note on methodology
Hot Ranking uses an anonymous browser fingerprint to ensure each browser votes once per poll. We don't store accounts or personal information; the aggregate you see is the unweighted result of every legitimate vote, with rate limiting in place to filter automated submissions. Results update in real time once you submit. You can read more about how voting works in our About page, and how we handle data in our Privacy Policy.
Share your result
After voting, you'll see how your tier list or pick compares to the consensus. The result page is shareable — most of our voters end up arguing with at least one friend after sharing theirs.
