Don't talk trash about DS1 fat boy. New gen player.
Ok

@@gussieawesome2763 Welp, you heard him. Your UA-cam days are over, buddy. Thanks for playing. /s /s
Average ds1 gatekeeper ☠️
Man this dude must be life of the party!
😂😂🎉
Taurus Demon is the REAL stray demon. Like, what is doing up there? Somebody call the pound to get him back.
He's the roronoa zoro of the demons
I mean both are stray demons BC there both from izalith and shouldn't be there
i love soulsborne ranking videos because people start it off with “i love this game/franchise” and occasionally some point about nostalgia for these masterpieces of games and then instantly jump to the worst parts about them and basically claim that those parts of it should not be accepted as one of the lord’s creations
People talk alot of shit about Blighttown, because they probably never played further until they've met The Catacombs
I felt that clip with the giants guards, the archer, and the cherry on top being invaded by child predator 😂
Truly some soon to be hollow reasons 😅
While I was wearing the mask of the child no less
@@gussieawesome2763 There are two bonfires in The Tomb Of The Giants.
@@GMitchell2012 I addressed that in the video
I'm all about using the sunlight maggot for tomb of the giants. Skull lantern a good shield does not make.
That’s what I usually do, sunlight maggot is definitely the best option for light but it doesn’t really redeem the area IMO
I just got that shortly after completing the area. I’ve been casting light over my head when in dark areas. I always prefer being able to do a little magic early on.
I don't use shields I just face tank hits except for keeping grassscrest on my back when I can so the skull lantern doesn't have any downsides for me
If i remember right, it's not just the transient curses that work, the curse from sewer toads allow you to touch ghosts
"The curse from the sewer toads allow you to touch ghosts."
There's an innuendo joke in there somewhere
This is absolutely phenomenal production quality given the size of your subscriber base. Keep up the great work!
Finally got the time to see this video! So much fun, and interesting as usual Gussie!^^
Great video, these games are a gift that keeps on giving.
I honestly really like how you included bosses into the determination of your rankings, since I always felt DS1 did a great job at making both its areas and respectful bosses feel connected. Fascinating discussion, keep up the great work!
Great video dude
Great video thanks man
5:08 the way you came in from the future and your monologue but your funny/vulgar dialect throughout the video made me wanna subscribe. Keep up the good work Brodie 👍🏽
Tomb of giants is relatively passable if you have a good level and weapon, which is 60-70 sl, +15 normal weapon, +5 special weapon and especially the sunlight maggot. The giant skeletons are quite weak and require 2-3 hits to be taken out. Also the bone dogs can be one-shotted by many weapons. What was real nightmare was earlier versions of Tomb of Giants. First, necromancers didn’t drop skull lanterns and second, giant skeletons had way more health (650ish compared to the actual 400ish) and normal weapons also had worse scaling so, it would often take 6-7 hits or more to take them out.
Anyway, new londo is bullshit cuz of the annoying ghosts.
Well, at least the earlier versions didn’t make the Final Cut
Also idk why but I never really had much trouble with the ghosts tbh
In a world where most people here talk fast, bombarding us with facts left and right, I greatly appreciate your calm, deliberate way of speech! It is very relaxing. I'm glad your video was recommended! Also, I find it refreshing that you did not know about the second bonfire in the Tomb of Giants. Just shows that though for many people this game's secrets have been revealed, there are still players who are experiencing certain aspects for the first time. Makes me wish I could forget all about the Souls games and play them again, especially this one! I look forward to watching the rest of the video.
Just finished, now I want to play this game again! Your review reminded me how it felt to play this game for the first time, and I can say, I still recall how frustrated Undead Burg made me, yet I kept coming back after cooling off, the game itself casting a spell on me. That was my introduction to Dark Souls. This game has opened my eyes in storytelling too - before I saw stories as good vs bad, and actually thought Gwyn and the lords in the intro were the "good" guys, and was surprised to learn they were bosses instead!
thats so true. i have thousands of hours collectively in fromsoft games and didnt even know ab that bonfire
i just go from the first to nito
im also starting to realize i think that i have never done the painted world correctly. i always skip the door cuz i thought that was how to do it normally
Good video, one thing though, I wouldn’t say that any of the run backs compare to the Four Kings run back as you have to go all the way from firelink
You can go through the darkroot basin bonfire also.
Good video
Just seen the great hollow for the first time on a yt video while Already at gwyn I NEVER KNEW ABT THIS
Btw there's a second bornfire in the tomb of giants and also you can use the light spell for this area as a light source.
well f*** i can't delete the message now since you talked about the 2nd bornfire
Ceaseless Discharge = Unyielding Amounts of Load
i still to this day dont know how i managed to get through tomb of the giants without a latern, i hate this area especially after getting all achievements
Some complaints can be avoided imo. For the poison everywhere in blighttown slowing you down, rusted ring. And for the skeleton wheels, when they jump to attack, swing and you won’t get hit and just kill them
The Faithful Black Knights should have played all throughout the Kiln of the First Flame. Its the theme that plays in the passage way and it fits everywhere in the Kiln. Thats literally my only complaint about the Kiln and its a nitpick only because I LOVE music
Yoooo someone else putting new londo at #1 im so happy
59:20 „Dark Spirit child predator has invaded“
I think what I love most about New Londo Ruins is that the ghosts have low enough health that you can still get all the way to Ingward very early on in the game. That's what I like about New Londo and the Catacombs. They are difficult but any player who doesn't fully get the message that they're supposed to go through undead burg first can still make decent progress in each level.
I will say that I do really like Tomb of the Giants. I didn't understand that the game had light sources like lanterns so I just went in fully blind and while it was frustrating and annoying, I still found it satisfying to complete. I guess I like levels like Tomb of the Giants and Blightown because I like it when the game makes me feel uneasy. The atmosphere for ToG is perfect in my opinion.
I think you were a little too unfair to the painted world of Ariamis and the Lower Undead Burg. I never had issues with the Capra demon and I liked how scary the enemies were. But I will admit that I never really thought about how good Oolacile township is. I definitely don't think it's at the level of Anor Londo or New Londo and I think the level design of Undead Parish/Burg is better but the unique enemies and atmosphere of Oolacile Township is really interesting to me and it's what justifies the existence of the DLC. Otherwise the DLC would've been cheap copy pasted areas designed only for annoyingly long boss rushes.
If Dark Souls every got a next-gen remake, I'd personally love to see what they'd be able to do with Lost Izalith as well as the Valley of the Drakes. I think both of those areas has the most potential but felt the most unfinished/dated. Also crystal caves. Those three areas would benefit the most from a remake. (and I guess blighttown if you count the low fps issues).
New Londo is an interesting placement; I don't feel one way or the other about it.
The Four Kings are fine in Cycle 1. It's after that where it gets dodgy (and without sorcery I wouldn't bother).
Tomb of the giants made me start a new character because the skeletons were literally 2 shotting me constantly
“Of all the boss enemies turned into normal enemies why pinwheel?”
Isn’t he the easiest boss in the game?
he literally says it’s an easy section about 10 seconds later in the video, he was only questioning why it got made
@@byte287 he was questioning why out of all the bosses turned into normal enemies why they had to choose specifically him, it doesn’t matter what he said after
I get why you hate tomb of giants. You forgot to say that you can find the lantern in the catacombs from the necromancers, they may drop It. I did actually like the challange the area provides but you cant deny Its just a mostly linear path to nito. I would rank It above lost izalith and demon ruins tho..
Just finished the game, tomb of the giants was not that bad if you did solairs quest to keep him alive. That sunlight maggot is op for the area! The enemies range of aggro is even less then your visibility so all you have to do is charge a heavy attack as soon as they get into range and all they can do is stand and watch as you kill them..😂
i dont understand why you excluded places such as firelink shrine. It's an area, it has enemies and it connects the whole world. It's always the "omg im back here??" and "oh thank god, im safe" area. It always feels great being there. Not to mention the music and aestetic, bird and whatnot. And most important of all, its an area. That alone i feel would qualify it for a rank of areas.
Great video is it ok if I ask you a question
Sure! Go ahead!
@@gussieawesome2763ok of you have to rank all the soulsborne games how would it go for me its bloodborne, sekiro ds3 elden ring ds and ds1 even and of course ds2
@@sueflewelling3657 if I’m being honest this is gonna be an incomplete list since I haven’t fully beaten Sekiro (definitely planning on it though) so please keep that in mind
Anyway, from the worst to best they are…
Demon’s Souls, Ds1, Ds2, Elden Ring, Ds3, and my #1 favorite is Bloodborne
@@gussieawesome2763great list my is from best to worst by the way ps what do you think of fromsoftware approach to storytelling
@@sueflewelling3657 I love fromsoftware’s approach to storytelling, it’s not super common for AAA games to go for that approach, I love the extra bits of atmosphere and intrigue it adds, and while I may love story focused games I also love gameplay focused ones
I wouldn't put undead burg and lower undead burg as the same area. The enemies are different, the time you go there is different. The difficulty is different. The only thing really connecting them is the name. They're 2 different areas in my eyes.
🎶Baa babababa baabaa bababa bababaa 🎶
I beat nito without knowing how to use any light sources other then pyromancy to check the places infront of you 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The ghosts are the most annoying enemies in the game when it comes to getting uncursed
Lost Iz is the area I liked the most
The area design in the second half of the game kinda blow chunks compared to the first, you can see the development stress.
They literally made Tomb of Giants dark so you can’t see the lack of depth
tomb of giants is awesome
Great hollow is the worst. Great concept, but it's so easy to die no matter how many times I've times done it and the branches are so Slippery with the added inaccurate gravity that taking risks for frankly mostly items that aren't worth it and the crystal lizards are waaay too responsive to your presence that they dissappear way too early
You have to keep in mind that the first few places that are god awful is because it was rushed just imagine if they had time finished these areas
To me I think new Londo and oolacile are far too linear. You just walk in a straight line between the interactions. The maze like layout of tomb of the giants is what makes me think it deserves higher
Tomb is also extremely linear, it just feels like a maze because of the darkness.
I think anyone defending tomb of the giants are people who like punching themselves in the balls and gaslight everyone else into thinking it’s fun too. Great video btw I agree with pretty much all of these ranks.
Awesome video, but the "burger king foot lettuce" speech cadence was super distracting 😂
I didn’t even notice I sounded like that meme lmfao, I can never unhear it 😭
Sorry bro but new londo's placement makes no sense. Any time i go through it, im left frustrated and annoyed by the ghost gank building, the chimney ladder that has surprise ghosts that you cant evade damage from, and the fact that beatrice's summon sign is hidden almost nonsensically
Sasha died
RIP to our favorite potato girl
The fact blight town isn't the lowest tier
Blighttown is far from the worst area in the game. The level design is great, the atmosphere is incredible, and the poison swamp at the bottom isn’t that bad compared to others.
those f*cking blowdart snipers can go to hell though
Bro speaks at 0.5 speed
he sounds normal at 1.25, no disrespect to guy tho
@@mellomoose_ it’s alright, I know I kinda talk a little slow when doing the voiceover
wait u kidding me?
I absolutely hate new londo lol
🥔
Hey man, the video was okay but could you please speed up your speaking in future? This isn't intended to be rude, just your voice is far too slow that it's distracting in a really negative way
Thanks! The slow speech is something that was honestly unintentional, I plan to keep it deliberate and slower paced than some other UA-camrs but I’ll definitely try to speed it up a little
Awesome man, I enjoyed the video as I enjoy a lot of these types of things, and sorry if that slight criticism was rude to you, I didn't intend it that way, just wanted to offer constructive feedback :) @@gussieawesome2763
@@ammanus356hey no worries it’s okay! I appreciate constructive criticism a lot. I’m currently working on my next video and my speech is a bit slow still but I’m still trying not to sound like the “Burger King foot lettuce” meme lol
Haha nice one man :) I'll definitely watch it when it goes live @@gussieawesome2763
@@ammanus356 Hi, it's me again, I'm really close to finishing the video. Unfortunately my talking speed is still mostly slow even though I've tried managing it, I'm really sorry if it ends up disappointing you but hopefully you'll still end up liking it. And also, seriously, thank you for giving genuine constructive criticism instead of being rude about it
I’m sorry but I hated blighttown. That place is so annoying to traverse around
First
You think New Londo Ruins is the best………………
why are u talkin like u have constipation (git gut btw)
So your video just auto played.
If i can turn the video to 2x speed and still understand you 100%, i think you really should speak a W H O L E lot faster.
I honestly thought i set the video to .5 speed.
i dont understand the point of making an opinion piece if your opinions are just going to be the same as everyone else. irrelevant and superfluous video.
Hmm… maybe I made the video just because I had fun doing so
