      Already subscribed, thanks for creating such an amazing compilation of quotes and videos about Dark Souls, it's very interesting.
      I'm surprised Miyazaki doesn't mention Firelink Shrine being the only location in DS with calm music. Complete silence in the rest of the world makes you feel alone, vulnerable. It's amazing how something so simple has such an impact on how you feel when playing (even subconsciously).

      ​​​@@therealnecromancer1231 I know that opinions exist and all of that boring talk, but you really can't compare Dark Souls to Minecraft because it is inheretly an invalid comparison since both games are very different from eachother, one game is like a meal cooked by a mother with love, care, and competency (Dark Souls) while the other one is like you are given an entire kichen filled with all ingredients, spices, ovens ect, and you are given total freedom on what meals to make and how to make them while still provided with recipe/cooking books if you want to use them for help (Minecraft). Your poorly thoughout comparison makes me think that you never grew out of the "Hating on Minecraft for no good reason because it makes me look cool" phase or that you think Minecraft is bad because you had a previous bad interaction with its community (althought in truth, the MC community is less toxic than the Souls community in general). I just love both games because of the unique experiences they give.

    Miyazaki is such a brilliant communicator. He needs only a small handful of words to make you not only understand but expand the question. This is also apparent in his games. The man builds fucking fantasy masterpieces out of nothing but item descriptions and a few lines of dialogue. Lordran became an iconic and beloved character in and of itself through these means alone.
    What species of god is this man?

    True Masterpiece, even with all its shortcomings, and the most influential game of the last decade. Before 2011, when somebody mentioned the term Action - RPG the very first thing that came into your mind was "Diablo Clone". Post 2011 it has changed to "Souls Like". And even though its successors, and even some its imitators did improve and polish and the gameplay, the level design, the ambience, the variety in feel and colour palette and eventually THE ATMOSPHERE and IMMERSION (wich is the ultimate goal of a video game), is still unmatched.
    Great Video. Keep up the good work.

    I remember watching that Golden Joystick Award event and I couldn't be more happier that two of my favorite games of all time, Doom and Dark Souls, took the top spot for Games of all Time. I mentioned this in your previous video but Doom and Dark Souls are practically the same when it comes to influence. Back in 93, Doom popularize the FPS genre and every FPS games after that were called as Doom-clones since the term 'FPS Game' was not yet "invented". Same with Dark Souls. Every game that takes heavy inspiration from DS are called as Souls-likes, which is something that haven't change which tbf, Souls-like is more of a sub-genre to ARPGs whereas FPS is a whole genre. Another parallel I noticed is that Demon's Souls is basically how Wolfenstein is to Doom. Demon's Souls is the early iteration of 'Souls-likes', much like how Wolfenstein is to FPS games. In which after that, their successor/spiritual successor (Demon's to DS and Wolfenstein to Doom) polishes their predecessor's formula.

But, you can kinda say the same thing with DS. Either way, I'm just happy that Doom and DS is considered as Games of All Time.

    These are amazing videos man. I’ve been watching since you started and I love that you always get to the point and give us pure info. I do have a question however.
    Where is all of the info from? I’m assuming you’re compiling interviews and such and translating them/putting them in a timeline. I ask because I’ve never heard this much in depth info before.

      I research everything I can find about the Souls game, including Japanese sources (which can't be found in Wikipedia) or just plain hard to find. Then I have to organize it and make a flow that is interesting for a Superfan. (Watch my video in my other channel in the mindset I'm using...)

    Never knew this game won this award…got hooked on souls games since bloodborne…I started playin in 2019 and I’ve been hooked ever since…hearing Miyazaki story of overcoming his “failure of a game” in demon souls is truly a reflection of the design of his oppressing games…the games will beat u down until you feel defeated and if you stick it out and push through…you get a rewarding feeling after defeating a tough boss…he used this game as a message to himself and to players to never give up no matter how tough your goals may seem to be reached…if you continue to grind you will eventually reap the rewards! He’s a true Legend!

    I LOVE this game, and while I can think of more polished and consistent games out there, there’s something about Dark Souls that 100% makes it deserve Best Game of All Time. Maybe this rawness is part of its brilliance. It feels dangerous, uncaring, sometimes broken… but it all adds to the sense of adventure it instills upon players. We will definitely continue looking back and studying this game for decades to come.

    I love Dark Souls, it holds a very special place in my heart ❤
    Even though I'd tried the DS2 & DS3 & given up, Dark Souls was the first one I finished, sobbing like a baby at the end.
    That was in 2019, & since then I've played the Dark Souls trilogy and Bloodborne multiple times each. Elden Ring may have the best combat mechanics, but nothing will top the inherent warmth and comfort that Dark Souls wraps around you.
    Miyazaki-San is a genius.

    FromSoft are the only game developers that I genuinely care about and constantly look forward to their next project. They are so consistent with their ability to innovate and try new things with their already refined action/RPG formula, and it always feels like you are immersing yourself in a genuine piece of art rather than simply a video game.

    • @dondonrv
