Dark Souls 1 will always hold a special place in my heart for many different reasons and I wanted to list a few of those reasons out in this video to share with all of you. Not only that, we talk about Demon's Souls development, how it led to Dark Souls, and how Hidetaka Miyazaki was able to perfect his vision on wanting to make the game he had always dreamt of. So take a seat, and let's talk about Dark Souls 1.

      As someone that who played Demon's Soul (Original PS3) as my last souls game, that's not the case. The combat isn't fluid. It's more like a rock trying to dance electronic music. The bosses, the levels and the game are less polished. Ds1 is an upgrade to everything Demons Souls does.

      @@nicolasmonteverdehorlent7712 I'm going to repeat myself. I have beaten all 3 of the Dark Souls games and then picked up the original DeS while nearing the end of DS1. It feels better than DS1. Light attacks chain together more nicely, the combat is faster, and medium rolling is actually viable. I never claimed the level design and bosses were better than DS1, by the way. All I did was make observations about the game's mechanics with direct and fresh experience with the game I was comparing it to. If I can realize that DeS's combat and movement is superior to Dark Souls 1 even on RPCS3, then you should be able to do the same given your experience with it is the experience that was intended by Sony and FromSoft.

Talking seriously, I don´t feel the same way, while still rough, the movement in DS1 felt way smoother than DeS. Also the attacks feel heavier, there´s more feedback regarding being hit or hitting something.

    Starfield is a shitty game, because it is a loading screen simulator and its quests are "Go from A to B and Back" I stopped playing the game,when I got a quest where I had to travel to some other planet through dozens of loadingscreens. Then i walked a mile to spak to some npc to get another quest somewhere else and he had NOTHING important to say or to do. I alt+4 the game and deinstalled it. I was super pissed and I won't install this piece of shit anymore. But Final Fantasy 15 was great, it just had some few downs here and there. But overall it was great. The online mode is also nice to play, but its loading times are super annoying.

    Unpolpular opinion here but i started playing games back in 1985 as a 9 year old on a ZX Spectrum 8 bit home computer and i think these games along with the 16 bit era (Amiga / Genesis/ SNES) have held up pretty well whereas the PS1 / PS2 era hasn't aged well and most games on those systems feel like unplayable garbage now (Bully aside). I think what we have now on PS4/5 and PC is pretty good overall and the ability to wishlist games and buy them at big discounts leaves us spoilt for choice. The main gripe i have with AAA titles is the huge file sizes which is why I'll probably give GTA6 a miss and content myself with a new save on Fallout 4.

    I don't really understand the issue with time and massive games. Yeah you're busy I understand, yeah if a game was big and made completing each part of it necessary(looking at you AC Valhalla) it does become a slog, if not fun. But I played Elden ring for 7-8 months. Playing an hour or two twice or thrice a week. I missed Godwyn and Mohg completely at my first playthrough. Hell even Radahn was optional.

  • @Eyedunno

    It's funny, I didn't know how to reliably backstab until I finished my first playthrough of DS1. I got a few by accident, but when I tried to do them I usually failed and a chalked it up to really specific positioning and/or me just being bad. I actually got semi-good at parrying before I learned to backstab, haha. Eventually a random reddit comment made me aware of what I was doing wrong: not only does your shield have to be down, but it has to be down for a significant fraction of a second before you go for the backstab. I had tried putting my shield down, but it wasn't down long enough lol. Edit: Oh, holy crap, I didn't even think of going to Darkroot Basin from Andre and from there going to Blighttown, even without the Master Key. That's still less annoying than going via the Depths lol (though I would still dip into the Depths at least for the Large Ember). Plus you can get the Key to New Londo almost immediately after entering Blighttown and from there dip back out and open the easier shortcut. Depraved class 💀I wish that really existed lol Strongly disagree about equip load. First of all most classes start with a medium roll even without a weapon, and not many people will think to intentionally make themselves uglier. Secondly, I've seen people start with the Knight class, which starts with a fat roll, and at least one of them went, "well, I guess the character I created can't roll well" despite having played Elden Ring, and it was quite a while before he figured out it was his armor's fault.

    As weird as it sounds Sony forcing the industry that was primarily dominated by Nintendo to have competition was the best thing for games as a whole. If Sony bent the knee once we would've never had the PS2 let alone games like Dark Souls. That's wild to think about. I know it's a sour statement after the Helldivers 2 controversy but it really shouldn't be overlooked how Sony throughout the years made the modern gaming industry the way it is down to the very games themselves. If you watched a video titled "Did Microsoft ever understand gaming?" You'll get a much better picture of what I mean. Xbox got exclusives it didn't deserve. People were just handing them games to be exclusive on their system in droves all because of how easy it was for them to do so at the time. Sony was forced to make their own exclusives primarily because of Microsoft getting all the current games directly pipe lined to them. So Sony had to not only make exclusive games but BETTER GAMES. We seriously wouldn't have had games like Kingdom Hearts, Devil May Cry, Demon Souls, and God of War without this competitive mindset to make a superior quality game. It's not a coincidence once some of these games went cross platform we started seeing more Anti-Fans for these kinds of games that were once the backbone of Sony's catalog (arguably still is). It's also not really a coincidence Sony is still making the best exclusives (though at a much rarer pace).

    When I first played it, I was expecting the ballbuster advertised by the media, but was pleasantly surprised by it only being very hard. Thing is, it was still Very Hard. It took me a few hours to get the combat to click, but when it did, BOY DID IT! Parrying in this game is INSTANT dopamine. It's great.
