Thank you for saving me the time of never picking this game up. Your kindness truly knows no bounds.

To unlock hidden walls in this game, you have to RUN at the wall and block the LAST SECOND to crash through the wall...

You've done some... dumb challenges but reading the title alone was enough for me to say "you poor bastard" thank you for your struggles

Me just chilling doing my thing watching this run all of a sudden your boy just casually drops some wisdom “ blood relations don’t have to mean anything it’s far more important that you find people around you that you love and who love you, you are under no obligation to have any relationship with anyone and I’d advise you against spending time with people who claim they are family find people who act like family “ Said so well!

While this game was flawed and unfinished due to studio time crunches, I genuinely think it was a hidden gem and I'm really happy you played it, I'm also quite excited for the remake coming out

I'm excited for the new one; for sure. its an obvious improvement over. . . well, everything present in the original. Never thought I'd see a challenge run of the OG though, and it went about how I expected lol

7:20 Thank you. This is actually incredibly relieving to hear. You're a good, kind soul; reminds me of my best friend.

Dude, the father figure thing is so true but always sad to hear. Hope you're doing ok.

So many games I need to play truly thank you

Great Video :)

Spuddy is back with a banger. Missed you love you

another banger of a video.

I love this game so much. I love how cinematic it is and how it puts effort into trying to tell a story. Is it the best? No, but it is cool. And I am excited for the next game.

I received this game for free and never played it as I have a friend who very, very thoroughly explained how awful it is to me. Basically the nail in the coffin of me not touching it despite thinking about it when he explained was "you know how in Souls games some bosses have incredible tracking on attacks that if you don't dodge at the perfect moment you get hit? That's every attack but glitchier." I will admit I enjoy the visual direction of the game. I'm a sucker for even the most generic dark fantasy visuals in a lot of cases, but that's about where my interest ends. I hope better for the sequel, as I hate to see developers do nothing but churn out crap all the time, but I do feel there will be a healthy bit of skepticism about whether or not I even look into the sequel currently. All that being said, I do respect the dedication to the challenge run. Challenge runs in general can be grueling to get through, especially for challenges that the game just hates, in this case magic. They get much worse when you play them on a very broken game. Congratulations on getting through this slog of a run. Hopefully your next challenge lies in a better, or at least more functional game.

I dont usually suffer from motion sickness...but when I do...this video genuinely gave me a light headache. Worth it though to be clear.

Would love to see you take on a Darksiders 2 magic only challenge (though I'm pretty sure you don't start off with offensive spells so that challenge might only truly start after a bit of grinding in the first world) since just like LotF it's a game where magic is clearly intended to be a support tool primarily rather than a viable main damage option, but I also seem to remember the Ghoul summon being able to dish out some mean damage. Not entirely sure how doable it really is, there's at least a number of gimmick fights where you are forced to use at least the pistol, but I would love to see someone with greater pain tolerance than me try it out.

Haha wow interesting idea man lets see!

Thank you for bringing smile to us, I hope you everything good upon you.

I don't think this game hates mage builds. It hates all builds equally.

Am so ready for the new lords of the fallen.

As someone who's had to cut myself off from my blood relations, your words on family really hit home. You're the most wholesome challenge runner on KZfaq, and while there's not a Lot of competition for that title, you certainly knock it out of the park on that skill, consistently. I wish you well, and thank you for your work.

Yo I had this game as free on my Xbox for years, I didn't knew it had graphics this good. Also, I'm saddened that the sequel got rid of the close camera and options when talking and rather went with the obtuse from formula.

It seems like a lot of games hate pure spellcasters, especially soul like games, as there's either an issue of painfully slow mana regeneration or none at all. Then depending on the game, the damage maybe ass compared to Melee and Archery and with Melee and Archery you usually easy no downsides damage increases then with magic you may get 100% more damage but at the cost of like 175% more mana cost. I truly don't understand the unspoken hate for spellcasters.

I think I was pretty lucky to barely understand english when I played that game as I just didn't know the story at all and just run from battle to battle for fun with ease. To me it was just the gameplay that even if it was simple and repetetive, I found it enjoyable and the full game isn't too long to overstay it's welcome. But yea, I do see now with my full comprehension of english that I'd be a pain to play just because I understand it.

Iirc in this game there are two types of checkpoint crystals and two ways to interact with them only one of which restores your healing, health, etc

To comment on your point about bosses at the end, Without Parrying, Gwyn is actually a pretty decent final boss. He's strong, has an obvious elemental bonus on his weapon that you can change armor to negate or just push through with your current armor, has a decent variety of attacks with tight but fair windows. He also reacts to you trying to chug an Estus without getting cover first and he is full tilt from the start, just like Dark Souls itself. But for Veterans or people who know the series well, he's underwhelming and pretty generally easy once you've got the mechanics down, just like the whole of DS1 imo, plus it pulls double duty. He's the only enemy of his calibur that you can parry, showing that despite all his ego and bluffing and running from the dark, he's still killable and still mortal just like everyone else. Same goes for Elden Ring, bullshit second phase, deals way too much damage, random overwhelming resistance to Holy for no god damn reason and somehow far too little and far too much HP. Probably wouldn't be so bad if you could use your horse in the final arena but hey, the horse combat also kinda sucks if you aren't using ranged weapons/spells.

Everytime i watch a video i get hit with a life lesson

Bro is just playing and then boom wisdom

This game is kinda fun at some points but it is also very clunky at most times. I had fun with the game when i played it but it certainly didnt come even close to the experience i got from Bloodborne or the dark souls trilogy.

i want to hear more lore about this Father of the Fallen

New Lords of the Fallen is a reboot if I understand correctly and it's made by a different dev. It also doesn't look like it's got any story/characters from the original LotF, so have no idea whey they even called it with the name of this mess

About the boss summoning minons complaint, whenever my friend streamed and encountered one we'd all say "Get a mechanic." It is the most basic and boring thing that is often used when the devs seemed to realize that a boss was actually too easy or boring.

In case of this title "Can you beat Lords of the FalleN" is a challenge on it's own :P

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I love and hate this clunky fucking game!

4:18 I mean, I'd still say you're the fool, but I'll give it to ya to make up for the pain of this run. No need for thanks 😂

I like RedBelly from TPS, but I can't remember even one other duo boss fight that'd be at least ok

I hope new lords of fallen be better

Are you planning on making a baldurs gate 3 challenge? Seems like a good game to try something absurd

More of these games need to let you pause

Don't let the devs see this

This game is so bad butt i loved

Fun Fact: Beast is where I gave up when I played this game a long time ago. Not because I couldn't beat it. No, it was just that shortly after Beast, I honestly couldn't force myself to keep playing this dumpster fire of a game. I was just plain bored.

You can pause soles games at bonfires or just die its not exactly like you loose anything

Cube dad lore?

I prefer this game to the remake. At least this game kinda did it's own thing, rather than just badly copy dark souls. Also, this game actually runs properly 😁

this game was one of the worst games i have ever played...i still dont understand why i beat it.

man your game is so much buggier than mine??? like the game is a total clunkfest, but at the very least my sprinting always worked.

Hated this game after first 4 hours as a warrior, but then something clicked and I finally understood the fight and even started to enjoy it. But it still extremely janky.

bit late but, would you ever do a Q&A or face reveal? I'd love to know more about spuddius cubicle specifically what's your sexuality / gender identity? (sorry if that's a strange question I'm a strange person)

I'm so glad Deck13 isn't working on the new Lords of the Fallen, those guys just make mediocre game after mediocre game.

im so sorry you had to play this

"fromsoft please im an adult, i have other things to do" Have you.... Idk.... Heard of save and quit?

To think I beat this game three times over -_-

how did this game manage to get a sequel?

SSSSPPPPUUUUUDDDDDDDDYYYYY!!!!!!!!! Hi 👋

This game....ew still gona watch and give you a like

+

I love you but why man

magic too op pls nerf

buddy play dmc3 it will be glories to see

try starfield, nearly all of your criticism applies to that too

You used movement too...

Wait, wait, wait... You've played this game before, know how... uhmm "not good" it is and still decided to play it again? 🙄 After that you have to make The Surge video. Same dev. Much better game!

Spuddy... It's ok to ask for mental help, you don't need to play Lords of The Fallen as some bid for attention mid mental crisis. Would you like to sit down and talk about what pushed you to this point?

The dumbest thing about this game, the thing that RUINED my interest in it, is the newgame+ is CAPPED at 2 runs. I LOVE newgame+ I demand it in my RPGs, and I bought this game knowing it had it, but then, after your third run, it's over. The game isn't great, but it would be FINE, if not for this idiotic design choice. I just can't imagine any reasoning or logic in something so stupid.

Played through 6 times fully on ps4 and never had any of these problems you had. Never had a problem holding a button to sprint. Might be user malfunction lol.

good video but it would be better on mute

had plenty of fun playing this game, actually. I seem to remember at least some of the issues pointed out in this video, but I don't recall them ruining the playthrough for me. you suffer from some kind of misplaced resentment, same as with the crowd of Dark Souls 2 haters.

Hmm, I think you might not like this game.

You get a like just for attempting to play this horrible mess they called a "game"

Why would you ever play this garbage 💀

I wanted to watch this but the unnecessary whining made me quit.

I actually like the game. Not sure why you pick the worst possible playstyle and then comprehensively declare that the game sucks. It's like someone playing Dark Souls for the first time only using their fists. Of course they are going to hate the game.

Says A-Demon is the best boss, shits on Gwyn, Calls a guy who isn’t sexist sexist, and uses pronouns for an in game demon/monster. I know all I need to know💀

can i get a pin papa Spuddy?
