OH AND BTW! This video doesn't include anything about Demon Souls, mostly because I still haven't been able to get a PS5 and I'm assuming I have to perform a dark ritual to even play one, so it didn't feel right talking about it. I'm sure the new Demon Souls fits my feelings towards the entire genre, but I figured I'd explain why I never mentioned it. MAN DO I WANNA PLAY DEMON SOULS THO :'(

“Dark Souls doesn’t have difficulty settings. It’s perpetually stuck on Fuck You.”
I’ve never heard a better sentence to describe dark souls in its entirety.
DS2 is like Fuck You x2. Half stamina, double the dodge cost, double damage taken, double the time it takes to drink estus, double the enemies. Then they throw you a bone with Jabba the Hut
@@amisfitpuivk Ikr, ds2 was my first souls game and still have ptsd of pursuer and ruin sentinel beating the shit out of me
@@alemsinatrya7991 god i remember when 2 came out, ruin sentinels were the dopest first boss ever but god fucking damn where they fucking annoying along with the chariot. Then i figured out sorcery pretty much obliterated everything and pyromancy could just super cheese the chariot
I actually haven't really felt this. Dark souls is tough but it feels super fair. And while it doesnt "hold your hand", the consistency in outcome and readable attacks do "teach" you how to play. Compare that to most NES games. Fricken battle toad. That game is hard. Dark souls is an education.
So fucking true

It happens time to time
Its just him mocking the boss
I drink all my estus right off the rip so I'm not tempted to use it during gameplay
That happened to me once when I was fighting Midir. I was on like my 50th attempt and that mother fucker was two hits from death and I rolled and dodged one of his attacks and I thought that this was it and that I finally beat him.
AND OF COURSE I SELL THE FUCKING BAG AND ACCIDENTELY USE AN ESTUS AND I PANIC AND DODGE TO EARLY AND DIE BRUH.

omg the experience I had with dark souls remastered today is incredible. I wanna try a fist weapon only run, so I went with it. I got invaded on the Hellkite bridge, and the invader just dropped me some humanities and left.
When I entered the Depth, I got invaded again. This time the invader saw that I only had two caestus, he also took off the weapon and used caestus! and then we began a pure fist fight and it was awesome!
When I got to the bonfire in the Depth, I summoned a sunbro, who immediately dropped me 5 goddess blessings, mask of the father, a +5 giant's gloves, and the soul of Gwen???! Also on the way back from killing the caster I fell into the basilisk pit (casul, I know), but somehow made it back and reunited with the sunbro, and killed kirk when he invaded.
I'm still having a hard time believing all this happened just this morning. This game and its community is incredible.
Just got Dark Souls and am playing it for the first time. I'm loving every second of it. Every moment is hell on earth and it's amazing. I've watched people play it for years, never once attempting it myself, and it really is something you have to experience to understand. I understand the hype

@@heshohesho1860 It's just another rickroll.
@@Dyfinite but who tf asked?
i originally avoided the souls games cause the difficulty of them felt really intimidating to me at the time. didn't want to throw money away on something where i can't get past the first boss. but when i tried bloodborne, i was hooked. beating that first boss even if it was just the cleric beast, just felt so good, i just felled a soulsborne boss. with each slain boss i got more confident not in the mindset of this is easy, but moreso, i CAN do this. beating the game i wanted to experience more of the games. demons souls, then dark souls 1. beating ornstein and smough, was such a rush, i wanted to keep going, i wanted to see the next boss, the next area. i would come close to breaking down wanting to raise the white flag, but that fire inside refused to go out, it was always, just one more try. each try i do better than the last, getting farther and farther till i finally punch through. areas that were kicking my butt at the start, become a lot easier after surviving the trial it puts you through. its always pushing you to be better, till you finally beat it and get to see the credits roll. in the end i always feel pumped up and ready for another souls game or a new game plus run after completing a souls game, really wanting to see just how far i can go.
playing other games i just can't help but notice how the difficulty just feels wrong. either the health bars are just too ridiculously huge or they just have way too much defense and i am just basically tickling the boss with a feather duster no matter how strong my equipment is. i dunno going back to some other games its just more noticeable. its not that they aren't fun anymore, its just hard to ignore.
i do agree though, you have to play these games to really understand its appeal and how it handles its difficulty.
Another amazing thing about these games is how each one has its own personality and style of combat. Yet some skills from one game compliment skills in another.
I struggled for 6 months with sekiro after ds1 ds2 ds3 bb. Hardest learning curve I have ever surmounted in my life. Then it just clicked, and it became my most favorite.
Now I go back to bb and it's gun parry for days. I even use gun like shuriken in sekiro for disrupting attack for opening.
Just amazing how there's even higher levels of enlightenment.
And somehow, farming a certain area you have completely mastered feels like the most peaceful and relaxing gaming experience imaginable. Almost like you're playing an instrument.
I know that feeling, Dark Souls has somehow become the most invigorating game I’ve played and the most relaxing.
Agreed. It is so satisfying to see yourself zoom through the area with almost no mistakes where you previously died many times
It's like the old masters attire descriptions. It's a dance.

I wish I could experience ds3 for the first time again, I played it when I was in a really depressing stage of my life that made it really hard for me to feel genuine joy and euphoria from anything but it really helped me get through that because that's what I felt when i finally beat a boss, now I have a ton of amazing memories playing it with my friends and getting through the game for the first time and now it's my favorite game of all time to the point I have beaten it 4 times already

Why I play it. Felt so rewarding when I finally beat tough bosses
Excellently done, I like that you touched on the fact that it literally does change how you look at other games. I still remember playing Bloodborne, Demon/Dark Souls 1-3, all back to back and then playing Assassins’ Creed Syndicate and just feeling so differently about the Assassins’ Creed games which I had previously loved
That's what I really love about these games. These games really do feel like the embodiment of David and Goliath or those stories where the knight fells a fathomless beast of a colossal scale. The adrenaline, the focus, and the ever lumming presence of failure, all wrapped up in a gorgeous looking game with fantastical designs for both people and monsters alike. And finally after countless attempts, after literal days of fighting the same boss over and over again, the feeling you get after defeating them is hands down the single greatest feeling you can get from a game like these.

Great summery of your experience!! 👏 I've learned while playing the Dark Souls series, that the game play can only be really appreciated through experience and actual effort rather than walkthroughs... and, yes, it make you put more of an expectation on other games as well, unfortunately lol
"Whoa, this Dark Souls game is like the Dark Souls of Dark Souls!"
What, you mean Bloodborne?

@@Sinestra666 Well you know what I mean.
I thought by running past all these enemies I’ve encountered I’d be able to get to the boss without wasting time and health on them. Imagine my surprise when all 15 of them show up because they don’t stop following you.
You know there's a shortcut right before the bosses right
Usually there is a bonfire or a shortcut next to a boss, and i dont remember the enemies following you into the boss room, literally everyone i know just run to the boss when they finish exploring the map
@@XXXKaruXXX DS1 they can hit and/or backstab you while you’re trying to make it through the fog wall. DS3 gives you frame 1 invulnerability so it’s a bit more forgiving in that regard.
@@Rexis102 though if you make it to the fog gate your fine, unless its dark souls 2, fuckers can hit you and stop the animation from walking in. Tho thats how it should be.
@@ashenone3883 Not quite. In DS1, certain humanoid enemies can backstab you while you’re halfway through the fog wall, which pulls you out of it. DS2, like you said, could be interrupted by almost any attack
Ninja Gaiden (on the original Xbox) was Dark Souls style difficulty before Demon's/Dark Souls. I never got into it at the time, but would like to try it again now that I love the Souls series.
Xbox Gaiden difficulty never felt cheap or unfair, you legit knew it was hard because you weren’t any good at it. Once you got good and moved through levels like some meth’d out demon wind it was so rewarding.
2:47
This is the best way to explain dark souls to someone who’s never played dark souls
After you play dark souls and looked back at a different game you played:
Bro... when did this game get that easy...
Me after killing the boss that killed me 20 times: know your place trash
I hated friede so I switched to bloodborne and beat everything but kos and the last boss, and then came back to friede. it was so easy
For me The Witcher 3 and Dark souls make other games look stale in comparison
I always paly new games on hard then I realize they are unfair Nad annoying on hard and turn to normal
@@rango962 i usually play on normal as i assume it is the intended experience/design from the creators.
If there's one thing Dark Souls has taught me, it's that you only lose if you give up.
Or if you're facing the Capra Demon.
No, you lose if you cant git gud
@@renatoramos8834 when i first time even found out about caprademon i had aready kilked 3 lords and killed them as a common enemy 100 times
Actually, that's part of the lore. All of those corpses and hollowed enemies you find throughout your journey in Dark Souls are the bodies of the ones who gave up before you. Even if you died 1,000 times, as the player, by not giving up, you're literally saving the life of the character by not becoming another hollowed.

The best way I've heard Dark Souls described is that it's not "difficult" it's "punishing." Dark Souls is very clear about what its rules are. If you don't follow them, well, you died. Dark Souls can be mastered while "hard mode" in other games just feels like taking a walk in Demon's Souls' Valley of Defilement.

After dark souls 3 I played 1 and when I met them there and died I thought "ok it's not that bad, I can easily return to my souls" just to realize my HEALTH WAS HALVED. I may or may not have stopped playing dark souls 1 until a year later. and I've never died of basilisks since
@@cheese5595 yeah the first time you die to a basilisk in one is awful. Especially because the Depths are awful, the souls you lose are near the Basilisk that killed you, and it costs a lot of souls to get your curse cured if you haven't been to the New Londo Ruins
The thing about Dark Souls was I was both curious and apprehensive about them. I was at a point in my life where RPGs felt so mundane and similar that I couldn't even enjoy the ones I had been for a long time. Then I started looking into Dark Souls...
Of course, the first thing I heard about was its difficulty and that kept me at bay from playing it for a few more years but as time went on my curiosity overwhelmed my apprehension. Buying Dark Souls 2 at a local game store, I started playing it that day and something clicked. The feeling I was missing for so long came back and I realized "Oh wait... RPGs are meant to be fun!". Since then I've played most of the Soulsborne library but something else happened: my love for RPGs came back. If it hadn't been for Dark Souls, I would've never played Witcher 3 or Outer Worlds or any other RPG I had a blast with these past few years. Dark Souls just has that feeling that's ready to awaken or reawaken something in the player. I get everyone's still put off by the difficulty but I still want people to at least try these games. They could find something that was missing, too.
Great video man! Incredibly relatable lol
I love Dark Souls, it’s not unfair, you understand why you got beaten and use it to your advantage. It’s fine to lose (even if you did it 20 times) because you get why it happened.
Ohhhh..........

Usually happens cause the boss has too much health. I prefer code vein.

Man, what a great video. Good job, sir.
So I recently got Elden Ring. Now keep in mind this is my first souls game (and I'm so addicted). Every time I beat a boss I jump up and curse out the tv in victory.
“You want Skyrims?” I got 20!
Yup... and that’s only how many times the original game had been ported
Dark Souls fact: If you wait for 15 minutes in your cell in the Undead Asylum, Pagan Min comes back and helps you lay your mother to rest.
