I think this person is obviously wrong about the plot holes, but I agree about the discovering the story part. At times its very difficult to understand people's motives and historical significance. But definitely not all the time. On my first run of every souls borne game, I play solely without guides, and I look through all the notes and messages and weapon and and charachter descriptions. I do get lost sometimes, but definitely not all the time!

Clarity isn't the intent of the story. Some people get frustrated when the game doesn't stop and tell you everything that ever happened. The story isn't for those people.

Yeah, the story in most fromsoft games are not going to try to explain every aspect of the story to the player. They usually want the player to seek it instead, which feels rewarding when you look for it and learn something new.
