    I didn’t mind Dark Souls 2. It’s not a Miyazaki-directed title, but still a challenging yet rewarding game. Excited to watch your play through!

    For people who are confuised why he's not sprinting at the dragon fight. So the way stamina works in this is that if you use whole stamina bar down to 0 (zero), it will not only take longer to replenish it but also you can't sprint untill stamina bar is full again (100%). So the way you're supposed to manage stamina is use it almost fully, then wait till it restores, because if you use it whole it'll take way longer before you can recover fully.

      Classic dark souls 2, can't believe i liked this game on my first playthrough with all the anti-player mechanics and design choices at every corner, especially in SOTFS and DLC, devs heard that players liked it tough and cranked everything to 11 and then some. Actually maybe i liked the game because it wasn't SOTFS but the og ds2, it still sucked ass in hindsight, just not as much as SOTFS. They really ought to remake ds 1 and ds 2. Or at the very least make a proper remaster, not the dogshit they pulled twice with ds 1 and SOTFS but THE remaster, the one that improves and fixes things.

    Also the sprint doesn't work because you're completely draining your stamina. If you run your stamina bar the whole way down, you have to wait until it fills again to sprint. Adds more depth to the combat imo as opposed to DS3 and Elden Ring the roll spam simulators where stamina management is completely obsolete and you can just roll spam/run out of every bad situation.

    You have played all the souls games :D and you still get surprised when you get your stamina to 0 and you can't sprint before it hit around 70% or 80% again, a youtuber being a youtuber ;)
    awesome run tho.
    I am one of those that would 100% watch a video where we see your reaction to ng+ here in ds2, and no more then lets say 1 stream worth would be enough content for you to see differences and for us to get the reaction.
    DS2 is fucking awesome :) Only haters will hate, real players will see the beauty and awesomeness that is in ds2. Only flaw is that it tried to be elden ring before the world was ready for it ;)

    Loved every upload on this channel up till this video, the editing is to much. Every 3 seconds a meme is shoved in my face, or a sound que is randomly inserted. Sorry but it doesn't add to the video, I would prefer to watch the gameplay and listen to what Spicy has to say rather than see the editors reaction to any situation that happens on screen. Having two or three of these moments in the video is fine and can spice up the content nicely, but they have to atleast be somewhat relevant to the situation. Otherwise, thanks for uploading more videos as I'm not a big vod watcher, but you are my becoming my favorite souls-tuber :)

      @@menderbug1 the combat is the worst of the series it's so slow and clunky, despite that I enjoy the slow combat it makes it feel even more weighty than the other games. Almost every encounter with enemies is a trap and now you are fighting 10+ dudes. There are enemies that don't make sense for how slow the game is the flame sorcereress for example their combustion like melee attack comes out faster than most attacks you can make and can easily one hit you with the added counter DMG.
      The game is full of bosses that aren't really bosses like the congregation and the skeleton princes. Lifegems are a crutch and completely get rid of the "I'm almost out of estus is it worth trying to find the next bonfire or do I head back".
