- Hello everyone! Thank you all for checking out this video. This is my first ever scripted video, so again, sorry for it being barebones. Plus, this video might have editing errors, so if it does, I am very sorry it does. Anyways, this video is just a big ol retrospective to Dark Souls, and I really hope you all enjoy it! Anyways, here are the links to other footage/artwork/research material/etc. that I used to help make this video, go support these creators. There is also a playlist with all the tracks I used for this video. Anyways, enjoy!

is ds1 your favorite souls game?
@@micklucas1451 no. its my 4th
@@Krimsin01 what are the top 3 best souls games then?
@@micklucas1451 well that would spoil my next souls video im releasing next year
Babe wake up, new dark souls retrospective dropped
👑
Honestly tho@@exposingpowerfullieslivest5082
I'm not a huge fan of DS1 (started with later ones Fromsoft games so I'm more partial to them) but every couple of months I look up a new Dark Souls critique cause you can bet there will be a new one, and it'll be long, and it WILL hit different.
People talking about their love of DS1 gotta be my favorite genre.
Shout out to dark souls retrospectives , gotta be my favorite gender
wow u did it u said the thing ha ha ha 2 crazy
Will I watch every ds1 retrospective video made? Yes, yes I will
Only 19 subs? You have to be kidding me, UA-cam. I listened to this video from start to finish, and enjoyed it all. Make that 20
tysm! ❤️
Make it 30!
119 now. Its happening@@yurinoworry
It's now 100 more since you made your comment!
It’s now 100 more since YOU made YOUR comment
So this is what it’s like to be here before a video blows up
honestly i barely expected it
Goddamn maybe we should all do DS1 retrospectives cause we all addicted to them haha
A 3 hour DS1 videos from someone with a relaxing voice and some great humor. Yes please. Deffinitly earned a sub
@@ChristopherJasonHerrOmegaXi never thought my voice was ever, “relaxing”, but thank you ❤️
Fantastic video! I fell in love with Dark Souls in 2018 and haven't looked back since. The game is a masterpiece. However, because of its rushed development, I sometimes jokingly refer to it as a happy accident.
Another multiple hour retrospective on Dark Souls? NOM!
For real though, I love seeing people’s insights and thoughts on Dark Souls, especially if they’re playing it for the first time recently. Elden Ring brought a lot of people into the series and was likely a lot of people’s first game.
Here before 100k bruh, this is wild
No
@@_CrimsonBlade yes
I actually killed Capra Demon on my first try. It was by accident though. I panicked and ran up the stairs, and (somehow) managed to kill the dogs there. Then I fell off the stairs, but pressed attack (again, out of panic), and managed to do a plunging attack on the demon. Then it was just a continuous series of lucky dodges, blocks, and swings. It's the only boss (across DS 1, 2, 3, or Bloodborne) that I ever killed my first time. EDIT: Except Moonlight Butterfly
Great video man, super excited to see where your channel goes
tysm! ❤
Hopefully it’s not just kissing fromsoft ass cause there are millions of channels that do that already
I’m always down for a ds1 video, my personal favorite game
I will always watch a 2+ hour dark souls retrospective.
this is crazy quality i can guarantee you're gonna blow up
i never expected this to blow up
I am fuckin DIGGING UA-cam's algorithm lately. A 3+ hour Dark Souls retrospective is totally my vibe, got yerself a new sub buster.
Out of all the Souls-Bourne games DS1 is by far my favorite, and the one that I come back to the most. Over 2000+ hours in it and I still come back every once in a while to sprint through the game bønking shit with the Great Club. It's just got that "je ne sais quoi" to it 🤌🤣
og resident evil 4 and dark souls are the 2 greatest games ever made
Dark Souls is truly the game of all time.
For people's who's first souls-like/fromsoft game is Elden Ring, videos like this are very useful and informative to them. Personal thank you from me as someone like this and to future people who watch this.
yw!
You deserve more subs, keep up the high quality content and you'll grow bro
Dark souls is good
Might be a controversial opinion but I kinda agree. It's cool
the fair lady and the gael storyline always make me tear up man
Ah yes, another quick vid of dark souls before bed
Love these long dark souls videos, the more the merrier. Lets go! 🔥🔥🔥
I've been trying my hand at editing one myself the last few weeks, but so far its so terrible and cringe🤣🤣🤣 It has really given me a new appreciation for how much effort, work, and time it takes to make a good one of these! So hats off for doing it, man! Watching now!
the more you do it the better you get. i feel i have greatly improved over the past 8 months of editing
Great video m8, the music, the editing, the everything was on point
You earned yourself a new sub :3
This was a great watch, good video!
I listened to this whole thing at work, great video man, I loved it and it killed a lot of hours!
I know you don’t have a lot of following but you do a great job at what your doing keep following what you enjoy 👍🏼
might be because im watching this on my phone but the voice audio is mixed to just the left 😭
knowing me, its an editing mistake. or maybe it is your headphones, idk both are equally likely
edit: it was an editing mistake. whoops
I always love when new dark souls retrospectives come out also 280 subs is criminal u just got another one from me look forward to seein more content💯💯
I've beaten all Souls Bourne games and many Souls likes. I find it interesting how new you are. Seeing everything with fresh eyes. I will say I truly hope you learn the lock on feature; cause that would have saved you many deaths in the beginning. Subbed and liked.
Dude only a 156 subs??? Your channel is something special man, and I’m actually glad to have came across your channel, bless the UA-cam algorithm 🙏
SCREW THE UA-cam ALGORITHM!!! >:3
Very good quality and explanations ty subbed
I see dark souls retrospective over three hours. i click dark souls retrospective over three hours.
Solid quality man. You’re gonna blow up fast making long form content like this.
tysm! ❤
Bare bones is not how I would describe this monster of a video, well done boyo.
@@cheezburgrproduction dont call me a boyo, i will get shy and nervous… X3
Nice video! I’ve been thinking about doing my own video in this format but haven’t cause it seems very overwhelming, so I congratulate you for putting in the effort!
tsym! it is overwhelming if its your first time doing it, but every time after it wont be so bad. thats just what im thinking lol
Only A tiers for Sif !? It a good boy he deserve S tier ! Anyway realy great video !
@@thelastdragonborn8739 he was gonna be a B Tier, but he is such a good boyo that he deserves A Tier
Im sub no. 207, with vids as good as this ul hit the big numbers in no time
Great video! Hope you do more like this on other games/other souls games. Really enjoyed this.
there is 100% one that i will do next year. but after that i think i will wait
Hell yeah dude
KH1 hollow bastion theme love it
How many dark souls video essays will I watch in one lifetime?
I need to make me one of these. Good shit dude.
tysm! ❤️
for me one of the best games ive played.
Absolutely outstanding video with the mightiest of interlectual and intellegent editing, my friend!
@@WOOKMEISTA 5/10 editing, could be better
@@Krimsin01 So you've done ER, BB and DS1. What's next?
Also nice going on first time defeats on most of the bosses.
@@WOOKMEISTA i have not made vids on elden ring or bloodborne. one of those i will make a vid on next year tho
@@WOOKMEISTA thx. i beat the game around 5 times tho, so i know most of them well
Enjoyed this very much, please do more.
Ay, this video is some gourmet top quality stuff, keep it up!
Appreciate it!
What the heck. 191 subs? No fucking way, man. I hope your channel keep growing so you can produce more of these.
only 28 subs is crazy this slaps
i was at half that 2 days ago
Mad that dark souls is still getting deep dove videos posted about it. I feel like I've watched more content about it than I've played, and I've played it through various times and worked through many ng cycles like +5 on one character lol
I love to see FromSoft remake DS1 and redo Isalith and the Bed of Chaos
Desperately need a DS1 remake like Demon's Souls so I can finally convince my graphics-oriented brother to play it
Another retrospective? Got me sold and a sub
Good video, i can see you are also a fan of act man
how so?
IM SHAKING I DONT KNOW IN WHICH ASPECT THAT COULD SHOW
Millionth video like this but I'll watch
Wth you deserve more subs! Sign me up 😎
Im proud to be your 66th subscriber
this just made me realize i got 50 subscribers in 2 days
awesome video ^^ keep it up
tysm! ❤️
It's been 6 days, am I late or still early? Looking forward to this watch :)
@@airhead3409 idk
Another 3 hour Dark Souls retrospective video essay...ah shit here we go again
I identify as a masterpiece
I see dark souls. I like.
Persona 5 music over a dark souls retrospective is something I never thought I’d see
@@ChosenUndead7 is this a complaint or an observation?
@@Krimsin01 I mean I love both games so it’s a big W
hella good potential as a youtuber
tysm! ❤️
For a first video this is pretty good, however i would reccomend that you focus on more of the "good" as you made more points about some places or bosses being bad compared to saying "Oh this boss is great because of" but i hope you continue to improve and make great video essays.
@@zenodagraph i do plan on being a lot nicer in my next vid given the next game i plan to cover is one of my favorite games ever, and i have next to no complaints with it
Cool video dawg I’ll sub for sure
Great video dude
I'm doing a fresh DS1 run thanks to this video. Fuck the Capra Demon, I didn't die a single time up until then and I'm not even gonna tell you how many times I've died on him just now. Six
@@philiproach2537 fuck the bed of chaos more
not sure if you noticed but your mic audio is only on the left channel D:
@@clarkcant4818 genuine editing mistake i plan to fix in the next vid. my headphone settings on my pc are mono audio, so thats why i didnt notice
@@Krimsin01 no worries man still a fantastic vid, could see myself doing the same lol
havent watched it yet but i bet this will be good
@@_pseud9284 its ok
I love the game
"Sorry if it seems a little bare-bones"
video is literally 3 hours long
Really fun video, but would suggest some noise normalization when editing
i never realized it until it was too late. i will try finding a way to fix it. i do think i know what the issue is though
After playing elden ring and coming back that gameplay isn't feeling that timeless at all. DS1 would be hugely improved by a remake that fixes the 2nd part of the game and makes it's gameplay faster like ds3 and elden ring.
@@bardockshiny i do kinda agree. it is slow, clunky, and a bit dated (i even say so myself), but i still have fun playing it, so it doesnt matter to me all too much
@@Krimsin01 very much outdated a would say but still a fromsoft masterpice, you can return to any of these games... everyone have its favorite.
I love the original gameplay personally. I can see why one would feel this way and I get it, respect your opinion. I Just personally disagree. However I would love for From Soft to go back and flesh out the second half, more DS1 would be awesome. However DS1 is my personal comfort game, it is the game I always go back to once every few months. I think it's perfect in its imperfections. I know a lot of people hype it up so much, but for me it really is that good.
I wish it got the Demon Souls Remake treatment🙏
@@Vengeance_I_m nope, that would mean ds1 would get the same unfinished 2nd part. It needs a rework
So God of Storm really is the drake in the Nameless King phase one!
yes
I kept thinking it was but never got straight answers from friends and aquintances @@Krimsin01
14:53 holy shit .... I've never noticed the demon there 🤦
Maybe mic a bit too low compared to the game sounds, but not to the voices of characters
"Sorry if it seems barebones"
Bro its three hours long
i didnt expect it to be 3 hours long
1000th like nice
Nah I don't trust anyone who chooses pyromancer
Pyromancy is goated 🗿
Subbed but, all that work andyou didnt listen to it with headphones. Bro, so many times you come out of 1 headphone. Also lord cut the npc dialogue. Other than that amazing af video. Plz reupload
i will explain the headphone one. so, i didnt know what i was really doing, and i couldnt tell because my pc’s settings have it so audio is balanced on both sides of my headphones, so i can hear what happens on both sides. it will be fixed in my next vid. promise
also, it took a long time to upload, like 3 days of even being able to try to upload, so i prob wont unfortunately. trust me, if it didnt take so long, i would
Personally I like him keeping the full dialogue in. This is an exhausting video, not a quick one. The voice acting in DS is GREAT in general and really sets the atmosphere. I think it's perfectly fine to implement it into the video in the pace the devs intended for the voice acting to be heard :)
Maybe I was spoiled with elden ring gameplay but I didn't find most of the bosses enjoyable and some areas were ass to explore but do respect this game for where it stands
Masterpiece in title - 2nd half of the game exists.
Come on man
Not to be that guy but the darksign itself isn't Gwyn's sin or purposeful doing. Gwyn's sin is linking the fire; not allowing the world to proceed in it's natural progression, but to throw a wrench into the physics of the world. That was what caused the darksign to appear in humanity in an attempt to right itself. Aldia spells this out in Scholar of the First Sin. There is no escaping the fate of the world, and we see that in Dark Souls 3 with the convergence of time and space in the DLC. We also see how, no matter how many iterations there are, nothing new is being created. The same wheels are rolling, with different skins and different names, however, the motives and ability remain. And every time they are lesser than they were before. Even more of a reflection; more of a shadow of their former selves.
@@ABurntMuffin i only played dark souls 2 once, so its very possible that i did forget about that lol
@@Krimsin01 I highly suggest you do a deep dive playthough of that game. It is by far the most lore filled and answer friendly of the trio. Easily my favorite souls game, and while I know that's a hot take, I've got good (imo) arguments to be made for some of the specific game systems involved and how they make for an extremely oppressive (and therefore difficult) experience. In addition to being a lore hunters dream, of course.
@@ABurntMuffin i would, but i only plan on covering a few souls games for now. i have another one planned for next year, and i might cover elden ring another time
@@Krimsin01 you don't have to cover it, there's definitely more work in editing than just clip collecting / playing for your own enjoyment. But since you've played it already I suggest you look up a quest guide and try to do a story run for yourself. There's so much good stuff in that game.
UA-camrs calling literally everything a masterpiece challenge, fucking impossible.
@@brya9681 hello neighbor, the day before, chibi robo ziplash, redfall, overwatch 2, cod: vanguard, fallout 76, hello neighbor 2, hello neighbor hide and seek, metal gear survive, mario tennis ultra smash, yandere simulator, aliens colonial marines, ride to hell retribution, sonic 06, the lord of the rings gollum, garten of banban, battlefield 2042, cod: warzone, watch dogs legion, mass effect andromeda, star wars battlefront ii, destiny, dead space 3, cod: ghosts, devil may cry 2, dragon age 2, duke nukem forever, and the og street fighter are all garbage games. i dont believe everything IS a masterpiece, but i do believe that there are a ton of very good videogames out there.
Izalith with the randomly copy pasted enemies and bed of chaos feeling like something that's just been thrown in there like fuck it, the game loses some points for that.
Shiva of the East? more like Shiva of the Deceased.

3 Hours🥰
Occasionally you are trying way too hard to be funny, which makes the video kinda dorky. But all in all i really enjoyed it. Great video man, especially for your channel size
is dorky a good thing or a bad thing?
@Krimsin01 it's a thing imo
Do you watch the act man?
@@PBandJ21 every once in a while? whys that?
Idk why but at one point in the video, dont remember where, you said something that reminded me of what the act man said in his ds1 video. I dont remember what it was rn
based
Love the video, love the style, I'm amazed at how few subs you have with the clear passion put into this project.
My one criticism is that it feels like you'd stutter over your words sometimes and leave those takes in the video, instead of just trying again. 2:05:30 really stood out to me. But keep it up, dude, this is solid, and the pacing is great!
i actually did do several takes of many lines throughout the video. sometimes im not the most comfortable while recording, so it is a bit apparent, but i tried to at least be as fluid as i could
edit: HOLY SHIT HOW TF DID I OVERLOOK THAT!?
@@Krimsin01 Haha it happens, mate, just trying to help, and I hope to see more great work from you. Subscribed and excited to see your improvement!
dw, next vid will be better. promise. cuz its gonna be shorter and i have less to overthink
Yes it is, aight goodbye 👋
1:00:19 🤣
god i wish i could have put solaires helmet on there
How is this a masterpiece with the Bed of Chaos in it? I love this game but the whole lost izalith and bed of chaos boss is ssooooo bad that because of this 2 thing this game will never be a masterpiece for me.
@@zsolthorvath1468 thats why i didnt say it was flawless. games can still be masterpieces and have flaws
"timeless" it is very timed.
Lost izalith fucking sucks
I can't like the video. In respect of the 666. I'll return when someone breaks it.
Original DS is barely working old junk. Aside with all other games with pathetic 60 FPS lock on PC. Wake up it’s not 2013 it was 10 years ago!
@@heavy_hate5346 idgaf about frame rates or optimization as long as the game runs smooth enough for me/i encounter no bugs (which i didnt because i was played the remaster)
Just do NOT play the DS remake
@@staunchsquire7437 demons souls remake? i prob will since a ps5 is more attainable than a ps3 now lol
