As soon as you said you weren't going to rank the four boss zones I immediately thought, "well then you should just rank them against each other real quick". And what did you do you glorious bastard? You ranked them against each other real quick. Thank you for delivering in a timely manner.

I have never rage quit against a souls boss ever. Not Malenia, not Manus, not Isshin or the Demon of Hatred. And yet I set down the controller and turned off the ps5 after getting 2shot by the bozos in 5-2 for the 10th time

It's not as bad as people make it out to be. It's not "great", but like... Lake of Rot & Farron Keep exist, so.

@garrett9233 Жыл бұрын

I actually fully agree with your ranking of 5-1! The enemies are solid and genuinely stressful in a fun way. The platforms and level design remind me a lot of Blighttown’s level design, which is another favorite of mine. The atmosphere is great and overall it’s not nearly as awful as everyone makes it out to be.

@@BillySYT I was never able to get through DS2 (dropped the game in the middle of Forest of Fallen Giants, then played DS1 and fell in love), but I _need_ storm swept Majula. Just imagine different music, a dark and stormy environ, and seeing lightning strikes out in that ocean. I adore when the end of a game really feels like the end, a feeling that the music swap in the nexus did, a feeling I got when Sekiro shifted to nighttime and had the war torn version of the first area, seeing the desolate but beautiful Kiln of the First Flame in Dark Souls, when Elden Ring blanketed the capital in ash, in Talos Principle's DLC when the hub gets engulfed in storm, and in God of War 2 as the home of the Sisters of Fate gets ever larger in your view and you hit the end of the world with only that location before you.

A complement for my least favourite level? Hmmmmm 5-2 Swamp of Sorrow: Setting/atmosphere is pretty cool, 100% agree about the sight of the settlement. These aren't complements but: - At least you can sneak past all of the Giant Depraved Ones (as much as I normally prefer to slay and collect everything). - At least the Sodden Ring exists in the remake, allowing you to move/roll as normal in the swamp. - At least it has a shortcut skipping the entire swamp in case your controller stops working while fighting Dirty Colossus.

one of the things i adore most about demons souls and dark souls 1 that i feel is lost a bit in newer souls games is the weird quirky sense of humor they had. following the fat official through the boletarian palace running into all of his looney toons traps, just for him to get absolutely decimated by penetrator is unrivaled. you’ve just made it through the prison of latria and you can see the sky again! nope, big ass arrow sarcophagus, go back inside. garl vinland just chillin in a pile of corpses like it’s a sofa. in ds1, the female undead merchant’s rant when you inevitably accidentally hit her is one of the funniest things i think i’ve ever seen in a game. it’s there in traces in the newer souls games, but nothing quite like demons souls. except patches. patches is eternal

@BillySYT Жыл бұрын

Right! Even back in King's Field, FromSoft had this sense of humour where they were totally okay with trolling the player, or just subverting expectations in a way that the current games don't have as much of. It's still there of course, but something about OG Demon's Souls & OG Dark Souls feels so vastly different from the rest of the series, and you've hit the nail on the head.

I'd be fine with swamp of sorrow with one single change. Round up the dry ground instead of rounding down. Too often you're just barely clipping the edge of the water and it already decides that's hindering so when you try to roll thinking you're on solid ground you get the huge stagger animation. If one foot is squarely on dry ground you should get to roll.

I just saw ur subscriber count and ur way less popular than I had thought. Honestly ur videos are such a a breath of fresh among these other soulsborne KZfaqrs who all have the same copypaste personalities and copypaste opinions regurgitated in ever video. It’s just refreshing seeing new perspectives in these kinds of videos. Like when you rated Darkroot Garden as #1 DS1 area in another video when I was fully expecting you to say Anor Londo like everyone else. Super enjoyable content I’m sure you’ll get real big in no time

To be honest, I didn't quite like 3-1 - the gimmick was enjoyable, but I went there first and these fricking cthulhu guards made me want to throw my controller out the window 👍 (and also Fool's Idol took me an embarassingly big amount of tries) My favourite level was actually 2-1 :> I didn't play the OG DeS so maybe if I did I would have a different ranking

@BillySYT Жыл бұрын

I think whether you enjoy 3-1 purely comes down to how you handle the guards. I've played enough souls games to where I don't find myself threatened by them from a gameplay perspective, so it allowed me to enjoy the ambience more. But dying in any area is enough to cause problems, it's the whole reason I think 4-2 is utter garbage.

Question what does pure white/black tendency mean ??

@BillySYT Жыл бұрын

I'll be covering the mechanic in next week's video, but the tldr is in Demon's Souls, there's a system called World Tendency. Depending on specific actions you can take in each world, you shift closer to white tendency or black tendency & the pure white/black tendency refers to the furthest you can go in each direction. It's basically a morality system. If you kill bosses, you move your world closer to white tendency, while if you die in body form, kill NPCs, etc, you move your world closer to black tendency, and special events can happen depending on which variation you're in.
