- For some video games, Death is an important mechanic in the gameplay, rather than a simple marker for failure. Let's explore the subgenre of games that focus on death and see how they make it interesting for players.

Dark Souls makes everyone philosophers
Also: Spoiler warning for Dark Souls
ur video seems like it would come from a 50k subs channel, you deserve more subs. Amazing work!
Wow, thank you! I'll keep working at it, glad you enjoyed the video
"Games that want you to die"
My brain: That's Project Zomboid
😂😅
Haven't played it actually! But I know someone that was really into it
I more often die to stuff like “Try jumping” messages because I end up like ight, bet
Lmao gotta try at least once!
I feel like people fail to represent the way dying and losing souls in dark souls games actually works. I thought, until I played the games, that when you die and fail to retrieve your souls, you lose all of LEVELS. This is not the case. You only lose souls that you have on you. The souls you've spent on leveling don't go away, just the stuff you're carrying. That can be brutal sometimes, but it's not nearly as bad as it might seem with the way people talk about it.
Great Video As Always
This makes me want to play this game even more haha
Thanks! And you definitely should, best place to start with the series.
@@realtayo42 Yes I will
dark souls is mild as hell, see dodonpachi "dying is good" for true masochism
Uh oh
Nice Review Video , and Dark Souls is a frustrating , yet a masterpiece game :)
Thank you! It is yeah, it's a real complicated feeling many of us have about the game

Dark Souls always gets me thinking
so happy annoying dark sousl vids like yours arent getting views
You seem to have viewed it
sounds about right lol
I see no reason to indulge in these games as is. The difficulty is just way overdone. I'll probably play this on PC with an easy mode mod.
It's absolutely a niche experience meant for a certain type of player. The difficulty is most of the journey, because everyone can share their experiences knowing they went through the same struggle. That said, everyone is free to play however they want.
Dark Souls is just "okay". I really don't understand why people praise these games so much. I've beaten Demon's Souls and Dark Souls and I didn't ever feel like playing New Game plus. I'm glad they exist and I believe they breathed new life into games, reassuring developers that it's okay to make hard games, but I definitely don't think these games are as good as people suck it off to be. Then again, I've always been the outsider. I've always had different opinions on what's popular...I guess I'm like 68% hipster.
I can only speak for me, but Dark Souls serving as an allegory for the struggles of depression is what really makes it resonate with me. Getting up and fighting over and over despite overwhelming odds against you can feel empowering once you finally overcome that challenge.
@@realtayo42 I agree that taking on challenges is important and feeling that low is what makes it possible to feel that high. I'm just not a fan of the jank myself. When I beat both of those games, I had a feeling of accomplishment definitely, especially when I was one of the people that beat it before it got popular, but after playing other games like Hollow Knight and Jump King, they didn't seem to have the same impact on me. I am VERY proud of my Jump King achievements, but looking back at my Dark Souls win now, I just shrug and say, "yea, I did something hard, and that pretty cool", but it's no feeling of self accomplishment, like that of beating Pantheon 5.
I guess Dark Souls wasn't the game that became the mirror for me, that had me understand that the one that keeps getting in my own way is was not usually the challenge, but myself. Dark Souls is hard yes, but I wouldn't say it's as hard as people make it out to be. It didn't make me experience any profound ideas or anything, that belongs to games like Everhood, Expand and Super Hexagon.
With all that said, if the game speaks to you, that's what's important. If you found some kind of truth or profound meaning within your experience, I wouldn't want to take that away, in fact I'd only to encourage it. Games are special. Games can touch you no book or movie can and that's because games are interactive.
If a game got you to contemplate something, I'd say it did a good job. In fact I'd go one step further and say that video games are the highest form of art (or at least they can be). Art of course, is subjective and so it speaks differently to different people. I believe it also has to do with where you are in your life and what your beliefs are with how art affects you. I suppose I'm not within that belief system nor that place in life where Dark Souls does anything for me, but I'm happy for all the people that it does impact. It's important to feel these things.
