      @@buffoonustroglodytus4688 Yhorm was a gentle ruler over his people who appointed him. But the same people (funny enough) always doubted him and looked at him with disgust. Giants were overwhelmingly treated like shit being used as mere cannon fodder and subjected through torturous experiments. Even so, Yhorm always tried to prove himself to those that doubted him. He ultimately sacrificed himself in an attempt to save his kingdom but he failed. As he arose in the custscene, he looked around, saw that his sacrifice and torment was for nothing and let out a roar of anguish and sadness.

    I'm kind of sad that he didn't watch the Dark Souls 2 one. For all of the shit the game gets (and the flaws it does have), it has a really fucking cool opening cinematic (in terms of raw production and quality I think it's the best, but it doesn't do what the other cinematics do which is where it gets it's shit from) and in all reality is not a bad game.
    I do hope this means Asmon will play the games in the Souls series. They are some of the best games out there and are a lot of fun. Maybe someday he'll even play Bloodborne if he ever invested in a PS4.

      Hiraeth Dark Souls 2 isn’t bad but its just... different... I’m not sure how to describe it, but as a player of all three I can tell you moving from DS1 to DS2 just felt weirdly jarring. They where similar, but different enough to be really confusing. And I think thats what most of the DS/BB community thinks. Its not a bad game just.. different.

      ​@@michael6079 I do agree that it feels different. I actually started with DS2 (SotFS) a few years ago, and when I went back to play DS1 for the first time it just felt.. different and clunkier and took awhile to get used to. But. People DO call DS2 a bad game. And it's really not. It actually did a lot of things better than any other game in the series (though it's by no means perfect; I don't try to say that it is. Nor do I think it's the best game in the series). I can go on for loooong comments about this kind of thing, but I really don't think this is the place for it (though I do love discussions about the series as long as people aren't assholes :p).

      PVP in Darksouls 2 is unmatched. That shit was fun. The amount of builds you could do, that's just not possible in 1 or 3.
      It had a pretty good balance.
      Biggest gripe of 2 is that the level design doesn't make sense, and some areas seemed rushed. Mostly towards the end. Which I definitely agree with.
      But it's still really fun to play through, and didn't stop me from enjoying it.

      Dark Souls 1 is a genuine masterpiece and if you're patient and don't rage quit when you get to the Taurus Demon like 30-60 minutes in then it will consume you and become one of your favorite games for the rest of your life. It has plenty of flaws, but even the flaws become part of your love for the game. It's probably my favorite game, and it's one that I can always revisit and become immediately immersed in and terrified by the cold and hostile world, no matter how many times I play it.
      Dark Souls 3 is an incredible game, but not on the same level as Dark Souls 1.
      Dark Souls 2.....you might like it, but you might not. For some people its their favorite, some people don't even consider it a good game. For me I was super hyped for it, moreso than I was for Dark Souls 3 or Bloodbourne, it's the only game I've ever pre-ordered, and yet it's the only Souls game that I started playing and didn't no life it until I finished it, I still have never finished it, and I think that says a lot.

    Dark souls games are great. But for some people to call it a masterpiece is a bit of a stretch. But it's a damn good game, a masterpiece for me is doom 2016. That game is godlike.

      It is a masterpiece tho lol. There is a reason the term "the dark souls of ****" is popular. It set the bar for that type of gaming. Not to mention, the lore is literally multiple games deep. Some shit is still being discovered to this day lol as people gather items and make connections.

      I mean, just because it's a masterpiece doesn't mean it's literally perfect. Just means it's damn fking good.

    “This is actually really cool” yeah bro, there’s cooler things out there besides epic mounts, raid gear, and achievements. I feel bad for this dude. He won’t even allow himself to immerse into the world he’s so stuck on LOTR and WoW and other shit. Ooh it’s minas, is that golem? Dude just shut up and watch the Dark Souls trailer lol.

    Watching them back to back like this really drives home for me... how terrible the DS2 opening cinematic was by comparison.

    That trailer is so bad ._. Am I the only one who thinks like this?, it's like it goes in all directions. That tale makes no sense imo.

      Well the dark douls plot is certainly not for close minded people

      Nah. It tells you the basic lore (creation/genesis) without spoiling the current meta, kinda like the opening of The Lord of The Rings;
