"AAAAAHHHHHHH!, WHY IS THIS GAME SO HARD?!!?"
"Well, try a new game"
"No way, i love this game"
Facts that’s how I feel with this game
The graphic, Its so beautiful. i Cant leave dark souls 3 games just because Its hard 😭
Exactly what it's like playing From Software game
Ah yes, even though, sometimes, after dying to a tough enemy, i feel so frustrated that shura might visit me, i still end up having fun and feeling as if i lifted mount everest with one hand after defeating a challenging enemy. The visual style of this game and the sountrack are fantastic as well. So, when you finish the game, it'll feel as if you did the impossible, and that feeling is amazing. But untill then, the flames of hatred rage on sometimes.
Elden Ring came out: Oh shit ere we go again
If you’re struggling, people, just remember, that hesitation... is defeat.
:))
I think 3 days took me to defeat him :)) i finished the game in over 100h. But i defeated every boss and mini bosses. Now i got platinum and at 5th walkthrough i think i finished in less than 5h . For me, one of the best games ever, alongside Demon's souls!
Im starting to play dark souls 1, 3, sekiro, and perhaps bloodborne before the new Elder Ring comes out. So I'll keep that phrase in my head for as long as i can remember it. Now wish me patience please!
Just beat him yesterday. Took me 69 tries lol
@@isoCristian nice
Asking FromSoftware to put easy mode on their games is like asking italians to put pineapple on pizza.
Everyone secretly enjoys it?
TheCloudDeV I’d rather eat an actual pie chart showing you how many people hate “Hawaiian” pizza before I ever consume said abomination.
TheCloudDeV I’d rather eat my insides than eat pizza with pineapple.
@@theclouddev3473 I enjoy it. Mmmmmm... Pineapple on a pizza.
@@theclouddev3473 i would rather have an enema done on me with molten iron
I absolutely adore how Sekiro forces you to be agressive, it makes for such a fun experience.
Souls/elden ring feel more passive while bloodborne/sekiro feel a lot more aggressive in your gameplay, I like both styles but it is fun to get more aggressive rather than focus on dodging
@@ciaranpatrick6859my first game was sekiro and then when i started playing dark souls i just wanted to parry and was unable to dodge which made me miss sekiro so much
I think your boyfriend forgot the last line for that poem
"so git gud"
Last line should have been "what is death, when you can die twice"
Only reason I listened to that poem was to hear that line and it never came
@@Alex-qr7yh You win. You win the internet today.
@Mateus Mureb me too
@Weeblackie You need a better understanding of the rhyme scheme, and a dictionary/spell-checker.
“Who’s Robert?”
It’s... depressing.
Who is he tho?
@@crydunkey5982 A kid that got experimented on in senpou temple buy the monks, he dies and the armoured warrior wanted to use the rejuvenating waters to ressurrect him, someone csn correct me of I am wrong.
@@ezramalzbender7934 oh... that really is depressing.
Robert was very sick and his father heard of the rejuvenating waters so he brought robert to the senpou temple and the monks made a deal to the father to repel a thousand blades and we will heal your son but the son died because they experimented on him instead of healing, the father didn't know and still guarding untill you killed him by making him fall
Robert is the armored knights son
The poem he wrote is reminiscent of the death poem of a character in shogun the book she said he was obsessed with
“what are clouds
But an excuse for the sky?
What is life
But an escape from death?”
Since she said he was obsessed with that book, yeah pretty safe bet he was riffing on it. Great poem
Wow imagine having a girlfriend who was that supportive of you playing video games that she sits there and watches you play, cheering you on
I can’t imagine lol
My guy you lost me at "imagine having a girlfriend"
@@ciannugent5550 😂😂😂

I like the fact that you encourage or celebrate your boyfriend when he does something cool when playing. Pretty wholesome
Kinda cringey too ngl

@@PewPewShootEmUp Hell yeah I am
Wow, that poem was actually really good...
Steel Bear waka waka...
Translation git good noob
Was totally waiting it to end with some version of Git gud, might be a tad disappointed for not working that in.
some alan watts type stuff
agree
Girlfriend: “Oh wow this game looks cool!”
*Created by From Software*
Girlfriend: “No! No god please no! No! Noooooo!
"It wasn't the difficulty of a boss but the 2 minute tedium of running back"
This
This is the biggest problem with dark souls by a mile
I disagree. The only one that bugged me in DS1 is the bed of chaos an Nito, but even Nito was nice bc I learned the layout a lot better in the tomb of the giants. Demon souls also would suck if you could just restart bosses instantly bc of the same reasons, but also the boses are a lot easier, making the boss basically a test on whether or not you should make that area a bonfire
Agreed, I quit because of it, probably becausei played sekiro first
I rage quit dark souls 3 because of the scarcity of checkpoints. Slaying the same knights over and over again made the game feel like a never ending chore.
Say what you want about sekiro, but at least it respects the player's time and places Save points generously.
@@theamazingguy150 dark souls 3 has twice as many bonfires as DS1, and 4 times as many as demon souls (bc it doesn't REALLY have them). Dark souls 3 has them everywhere you just have to look
I do admit that having to run back to a boss can seem like it is just padding, but FromSoftware are usually geniuses at video game design. In Souls, that walk lets you cool off from your previous defeat. This is important because if you just run in full aggressive, then most of the Souls bosses will just kill you faster. Souls games reward patience and analysis. And most bosses share a similar rhythm to the area they are in, so it kinda gets you prepared.
Meanwhile, Sekiro bosses are nothing like the area you traverse to get to them. You can slowly stealth/fight through the area, but the bosses have a completely different rhythm. So it makes perfect sense that Sekiro checkpoints are very close to the bosses.
when you said "my boyfriend wrote a poem" for a moment I was specting a loud snippet of "GIT GUD"
gabriel saboya that would require gaming knowledge
Same
omg me too, just silence. then "git gud"
What is love; But an excise for
BABY DONT HURT ME
I was about to make this same comment
When I reached the second fight with the Headless Ape I expressed a healthy amount of contempt the moment the second ape appeared and wrecked me. My wife, who doesn’t play games and has no interest in them, offered to beat it for me (how droll). I told her if she beat it I’d quit playing video games forever. She leaped at the chance. I showed her the controls, and she proceeded to kick the absolute shit out of the Headless Ape by spamming Mortal Draw. She even attacked through its terror scream, and staggered it, something I didn’t know you could even do. I was spared when the second ape came down, and she got pinned against a wall, making the camera go screwy. I still think giving up games would have been worth seeing someone with zero experience beat that boss.
wait she actually beat the first phase? first try ? im impressed
Eni koxhaj I was momentarily dumbstruck when it happened.
@@gido9467 wait, staggering ? How ?
Alief Rezki From what I could tell she hit it with a Mortal Draw while it was just starting its Terror scream animation. It knocked the ape out of the animation. Edit: I haven’t had the balls to try and replicate it, so I am not sure if I was just imagining it, or if it’s a legit strategy.
is your wife single now
the fact that he made it to genichiro without regularly parrying is actually kind of impressive... I can't imagine beating lady butterfly with only dodges
She's actually easy if you spam dodge attack and shurikens
I fought her after Genichiro
honestly she’s so much easier just by dodging
@@wegMachMeister but parrying her is so satisfying, i got Isshin, Owl(Father) and Demon of Hatred still to go and i still havent had that much back and forth action that i had with lady Butterfly on another boss yet.
"Well placed checkpoints"
Looking at you
"Upper Tower - Ashina Dojo"
"Castle Tower Lookout"
and
"Upper Tower - Kuro's Room"
*gets dragonslayer armour flashbacks*
The loading time of dark souls 3 is also faster than sekiro. Even though I like sekiro much more.
I’m currently stuck on ashina dojo AHHHHH
I love that bonfire after you defeat True Monk.
@@Mr.Manson ah yes my favourite
3:38 "finally, the story isn't told by item descriptions and VaatiVidya" at this point, Vaati as a person is part of the SoulsBorne canon for me
And Zelda too xd
The Chronicler of Souls.
There should be a tribute to vaati in the next fromsoft game. I think he deserves it for what he did for the community.
His videos are fire
nah he completely missed most of the important part of ds2 lore.
That crying kid in the end totally killed me cause thats 100% what I felt xD Very good video
Where did they get that clip from?
I want to see the full video of the crying kid.
The clip was funny, and i want to see the whole clip.
@@sanhcman666 me too xD and is hard to find it :c
c sh the game is called Perfection, so maybe look up “Perfection meme” or “Perfection video - crying boy” haha it’s just a bunch of words combined in diff ways til you find it.
The "act tough and say hit me" got me in tears. I need to know where they got it from.
Got me so good I'm laughing AND crying right now.
It makes me incredibly happy when girlfriend starts cheering when boyfriend does something epic.
And yes Shogun is amazing.
New miniseries!
Insta-like for My Brother and Me reference.
Where is it? I watched it twice and couldn't find it lol
“The story isn’t told through item descriptions and VaatiVidya.” .... damn if there was never a truer statement made
If she had read the item descriptions she would have known who Robert is though.
@@chuckwood3426 lol yeah, its told through both, but there's a lot more details given in dialogue, which makes Sekiro a lot less convoluted as past From games.
Still told through Vaati if we’re honest with ourselves
When I read something in FromSoft games I hear Vaati’s voice reading it to me
1. Date someone with video-editing skills
2. Introduce them to your kickass hobby

Girlfriend Reviews I think both of you are doing a terrific job!!
@@GirlfriendReviews integral part of the equation still, I'm sure :)
@@GirlfriendReviews You're the speaker though and nothing can sell without a good speaker.
@@Acefirst Well said Ace.
Girlfriend, The 2 of you working together are what's making this channel a success so please don't look down upon your role. Without you he'd just be another drop in the ocean that is male gamers reviewing video games.
It's amazing that when I started this game, I felt completely out of my depth and struggled through my entire first playthrough and beat some bosses by cheesing. However, on my subsequent playthroughs I became an unstoppable force that stood toe to toe against every foe, able to deflect and cut with no need for prosthetics, skill upgrades or buffs. I didn't grind or exploit the game in any way and instead I truly got gud at the core mechanics. Can't wait to continue the story in the west.
"Hesitation is defeat. Git Gud"
Issin the sword Saint.
ur single handedly outranking these official "game" journalists. well done
Damning with faint praise there.
The editing here was quite good.
have u ever watched Dunkey's videos tho? this girl uses his "template" and put her own spices in her videos, thats all and yeah also she has this IGN lady voice lul
SliceOfPotato
Except Girlfriend reviews are actually funny and informative.
*double handedly
"I brought Sake."
*BBLRRRHGHGHGHGHGH*
That was masterful comedic timing :'D
You know content is quality when rewatching it is just as entertaining as the day it came out… also cannot wait for the gf review for elden ring
"Its not fun to watch, I mean has anyone ever been on the edge of their seat watching a number go from 17 to 18?"
I take it Im alone from the DND community woot
That Kanji symbol on "I'm Not Locked Here With You" scene... I'm dying of laughter. This video is pure gold.
Favorite part of the video :D
Should have step dodged...
You can't parry grab attacks though! I learned that the hard way...
"The plot isn't told through vatti vidya"
*chukle*
Nice one.
"My boyfriend would yell at the TV so much that the dogs thought they were in trouble." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh lord the "my new boyfriend" "ex boyfriend" scene had me crying 😂
6:19 that toddler's reaction is the whole game
Yeah
Evertime i move forward and delude myself into thinking "I've got this now" i am promptly crushed and laughed at by npc's in sweaty underwear as armor.
Hahaha the Vaati shout out made me tear up a bit. Just like the Dunkey one and the Leah collab. This channel is bringing all of my loves together.
yeah just like those fake likes lol
Did you notice how she carefully over-enunciated his name? I think that was commentary.
Bro you need to cherish this lass forever. You won the game of life with her
I am so in love with the montage of your video's. It's fast paced, to the point, quirky at all the right moments. You make it sound so relatable with in game notions combined with the general feeling people have playing this (and other) games. It's just... Frickin' love this channel. Kudos to you two!
I just discovered this channel and binged all of the videos in one sitting. The editing and the implementation of memes are just superb and the writing is so funny, I regularly laugh out loud. Really looking forward to what this could develop into. Okay, Bye!
Just did the exact same thing tonight
@@aplumpkoalainc186 DUde, Same.... Honestly, funniest channel thats ever been recommended.
Did the same thing and today and I have a big exam coming soon. No regrets though
You should also check out his actual boyfriend's channel. He is the expert of these kind of videos.
If you guys like review channels with meme-content check out Ranton. Won't regret it a bit I promise :D
5:35 - Robert is his sick son (they came to Japan to seek for the "Undying" to extend Robert's life). Firecrackers (used into the prosthetic) are his - "Robert's Firecrackers".
I feel a DLC coming on..."Robert's Revenge"
Roberto's Revengo
@@GirlfriendReviews Robert was killed by the temple monks in their experiments to gain immortality. The only child to survive is the divine child of rejuvenation (the girl who gives Wolf the mortal blade).
Maybe Robert just hasn't pressed "resurrect" yet.
@@GirlfriendReviews the only reason wolf can do that is because of the curse of the dragon's heritage. Robert isn't the only victim. There is a pile of children's corpses near the temple where the centipede dudes are.
“Our next review is yoshis crafted world”
This game must’ve really put a toll on them.
that Phoebe from Friends reference was Perfect.

Second "Oh no!", I was like "Okay, this is getting old really fast."
Third "Oh no!", I was like "Ihis is the BEST JOKE EVER!"

In case someone wants to read it:
What is dark but an excuse for light?
What is rot but an excuse for ripe?
Without darkness, would stars be admired?
Without burn, would man discover fire?
Without shadow, could you find a light source?
Without hunger, could you serve a main course?
What is dark, but an excuse for light?
What is death, but an excuse for life?
reminds me of Vampyr
Ima use this in poetry class if I ever took it but I ain’t a poet so I aint gonna take poetry
Is that a riddle? The answer's hole.
I'm working my way through your videos after discovering you a few days ago. It's your references that get me. You have something for every situation and it astonishes me every time in its perfection. Brilliant.
"I finally died... to a f***ing chicken" lmfao i unintentionally laughed so hard at this.
The humor on this channel is simply fantastic! “My boyfriend shouted so much at the screen that our dogs though they were in trouble”. Classic right there! Have a great Saturday!
Kotaku: "An easy mode has never ruined a game."

Riveting gameplay.
jadul.
Yeah that arguement is just garbage, as soon as a game has a 'difficult' tag you know that you shouldn't buy it if you can't deal with it
@@sqfzerzefsdf ive been playing and it's not even that hard, it just doesnt enable you to rambo your way to the end. it's like taking a test, lowering the average doesn't exactly build character.
@@sqfzerzefsdf "Yeah that arguement is just garbage, as soon as a game has a 'difficult' tag you know that you shouldn't buy it if you can't deal with it"
Your argument (if that can be called an argument) is what sounds as just garbage to me.
What is the ultimate purpose of a game?? Bring fun to the player. Since "fun" is a subjective concept, the best thing to do in terms of game development is to make the difficulty modular, so each player can adjust the difficulty to it's own preference, whether it's a hardcore or casual gamer.
at the end should've been "and what is death, when you can die twice" - Alex
nice one...
The poem:
What is dark,
But an excuse for life.
What is wrought,
But an excuse for ripe.
Without dark,
Would stars be admired?
Without a burn,
Would man discover fire?
Without shadow,
Could you find a light source?
Without hunger,
Could you serve a main course?
What is dark,
But an excuse for life.
What is death,
But an excuse for life.
I think I messed up a little but I tried.
I think it's "rot", not "wrought" and it's "But an excuse for light", not "life". But you did a nice job anyway!
thank you
10/10 for that poem. Literature awards worthy
“Through item descriptions and Vaati Vidya“ had me dying from laughter!! XD
That snake-eyes miniboss bit was so relatable. Just got past the foldable monkeys and no boss has been nearly as frustrating as Snake Eyes so far.
Why am I just discovering this channel? Literally one of the best reviews I’ve watched on UA-cam. Also, I had to listen to that poem at the end at least five cuz it was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Finally, I've gotten around to reading Shogun 'cos of you guys, and wow is that opening chapter a doozy. I absolutely love that Clavell uses the actual nautical terms and doesn't try and dumb it down
I just found out about this series. The clips you find are impressively fitting. Well done
4:00 I didn’t know Eminem was voicing in Sekiro.
It's Noshir Dalal. The same guy who voiced Charles in RDR2
James Cunningham r/wooosh
@@JustGamerRapBattles I don't know what that means.
@@jamesc2058 It means that the joke flew over your head. The commenter was comparing the voice actor to Eminem cause the boyfriend skipped the dialogue, i.e., the character was ,in a way, rapping.
James Cunningham is it really? Omg I love Charles he’s my favourite. But that character isn’t noshir dalal? Genichiros noshir dalal right?
Your editing is phenomenal.
That's a really enjoyable video edition for a review, really like it a lot. Thank you for doing such a good effort in your content!
4:49 I never realized how the stark difference between the dodge mechanic and the parry. How the previous games were made with dodging at their main mechanic but in this one they actually asked what would happened if not only you take that away but actually wanted the enemy to hit you. That's mind blowing. An "Obstacle is The Way" attitude.
And not only worked, the best mechanic so far was created and it's one of the most ingenious and viscerally beautiful things that i ever saw. It's my favorite gamestyle cause of how it forces you to be brave.
P.S. You were awesome for going after the answer for him and trying to help him out on your own.
So basically, if you beat this game; you become a poet?

And you get a Girlfriend. ( or Boyfriend)
Different strokes for diffrent folks.
