- In today's episode, I'm ending my next Donator's Marathon with quite a doozy. It's Dark Souls. This game will kick your ass. Can't dance around that! But is it still a fun time? I sure hope so!

Ah yes the game that invented difficulty.
Sarcasm?
LOL nah
Huh......always thought that was Contra.
What, Battletoads and Ghosts N' Goblins don't exist?
The Red Guy I guess it created difficulty for the generation that never grew up with a PS2 or SNES
My favorite thing about the booby lady is that before I got to her I read a message someone had left on the floor that said something like "Epic Chest Ahead" and I got excited because I thought I was gonna get some good loot.
Not many first years can take on a fully grown Dark Souls Troll, and live to tell the tale.
Strain42 And damn, it was GOOOD LOOOOT
I remember reading it and laughing uncontrollably
You got the best treasure of all...
Fast travel.
Your comment made my day!!
You have unlocked a new title: Johnny: Guardian of Lost Kittens.
Better: Cole Phelps! Kitten defender!
23:40
Johnny: “Alright now give me a bro fist.”
Seline: “ᴹᵉʷ”
Johnny: “Okay you’ll do it later”
He knows Pewdiepie?
Wyatt Prinz I mean. Who doesn’t
@@Birdyboys you got a point
"I was given a shit load of souls"
"+2000"
Oh Johnny you sweet summer child
I mean at that point in the game it IS a lot...
My thoughts as well
@@KingCasual1986 not rlly, that’s 3 levels at that point
Then, in later new game plus cycles, it feels like you have to play through half the game just to get one stat up
@@kevinnigins94883 levels when you’re early level is a huge increase
That kitten is so adorable! Please continue to take care of it, Johnny! Now I feel like, I want one.
BlazetheCat130 kittens are adorable but I'm allergic I'll to cats so I'll take a puppy
New channel mascot? get a tiny little sonic hat and we're good!
The breed in particular johnny has appears to be that of a tuxedo. If it happens to be the case, I happen to own one as well, but a male.
Kitty. :3
I think I'd die of cuteness overload, and I've seen tiny kittens in small knitted hats before, so I know how that would feel.
23:37
most important part of the entire video
The little "mew" is so cuuuuutttteeeee
Kittyyyyyy
Squeaky Tux Baby
The best BRO FIST ever!!!!
The Dark Souls of cat videos.
Johnny: "Give me a brofist".
Selene: *World's tiniest meow*
Me: *Heart Melts*
I KNOW, RIGHT?
I died inside when I saw a point put into resistance
What's wrong about that?
Daniel Ayy Just to make sure, you’re joking right?
@@thejoke1092 no, I genuinely wonder what's so bad about increasing resistance.
Daniel Ayy it’s just kind of a meme in the community, same with vitality in dark souls 3. Resistance only provides an okay benefit in the early game but if you were to put the point in something else like strength or endurance by the time you get to the mid-late game you would have passively gained the same benefits from resistance by leveling other stats anyway. So it kind of makes the stat useless.
@@thejoke1092 I didn't know that, thank you for explaining!
"Gimme a bro fist!"
"Meow"
"OK, you'll do it later..."
BEST PART OF THE VIDEO! xD
Already giving him sass
Yep. If it isn't a highlight for someone to do as a funny moments, they're doing it wrong.
That tiny meow gets me every time.
PewDiePie he ain't.
Any video that ends with a kitten is a perfect video.
Dogs. Its Dogs.
KinglyPeasant don't you mean a purrfect video?
The moment the kitten came onscreen all I could do is say "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE IT'S SO CUTE!!!"
Antoine Morand yes
@@lilpshyco3400 I love both .
I now imagine fanart of Johnny fighting through the world of Dark Souls with his new kitten on his shoulder or something.
Someone needs to make cute kitty partner art for Dark Souls!
I can't say that I've EVER heard someone call the Bed of Chaos SATISFYING. You're a champ, Johnny.
Every time I see this video I wrack my brain at how he could say that. My only hypothesis is that he did it on his first try and didn't know his progress would save if he died.
@@Shaddytheguy I don't know I find killing the bed of chaos pretty satisfying. After all the crap that thing puts you through, finally getting to the stupid worm in the middle it's a nice feeling of, "die *****!"
@@Shaddytheguy Probably. Bed of Chaos awfulness didnt become really apparent to me until a few playthroughs. And that time it took like 25 minutes cause I kept getting swept into a pit.
"Dark Souls Cinematic Universe"
Already 45 seconds in and I'm already dying of laughter.
Douglas Stewart if only they made a dark souls movie.
The good ol' DSCU
The Dark Souls of VS. videos
I said it.
CarozQH dammit you beat me too it
Dang it I was beaten to it.
And here we have the Dark Souls of CZcams comments
Now it's offical.....EVERYONE DONATE DS2 AND 3 AS WELL AS BLOODBORNE. Let's make him more of a man
Just saw this and had to delete my comment saying the same exact thing.
You're quite fast lol
He played through fat rolling... what a legend.
Ah, DS1, the only Souls game where fat rolling is still viable. I miss poise.
Demon's Souls was and is very popular.
It's just Dark Souls eclipsed it in popularity so much. Helps Dark was multiplatform, I suppose.
But Johnny, why are you reviewing the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy again?
Bahdumts
it's the "crash must die mode" dlc
Lmao Dark Souls Cinematic Universe
U1GX Man, I can’t believe Oscar died in Dark Souls Infinity War.
Jorg the Mercenary Spearman ikr he was the one character I didn’t want to bite the dust
Player: I don't feel so good.
Technically Demons Souls and Bloodborne are technically in the DSCU
I don’t wanna go!!
I remember when Dark Souls was the Ninja Gaiden of Action RPGs.
How times change
NotAGoodUsername360 Now it IS ninja gaiden!
It's still the Ninja Gaiden of Action RPGs...unless you wanna count Sekiro :P
Nothing tops NG Black in terms of action.
@@ColdRoland Nioh exists now which is quite literally Dark Souls x Ninja Gaiden
I really appreciate that Johnny is so open-minded. When dying in the catacombs because it was a late-game area, he didn't throw down the controller snd quit. He said "that's how Dark Souls" works.
You do realise people will want you to cover the rest of the Souls games now, right? You've opened up the Pandora's Box...
... Okay, the kitten has convinced me to forget about that.
High Voltage the worst fandom in all of gaming.
Surprisingly, I'd say no. It's filled with salt and toxicity, sure, but it kinda never goes beyond that. Maybe it's because there's so much salt already that no one has the energy to go into full on extremist mode.
You know what I don't get. Everybody says every fanbase in the world Sucks. I heard people claim that they that don't like a certain game series or other series just because the fanbase sucks.
Tails the Oshawott I've only played a small percentage of DS1 and didn't care for it very much but I have watched full playthroughs of the entire series. I've never seen more "fans" complaining that you're playing the game wrong, don't understand the lore, or just have an overall elitist mentality. You can look at the comments here and see exactly what I'm talking about. I've seen it with other series but not like it is with DS. I find the games interesting but I could definitely see people avoiding it just because of other players.
(Laughs With Anxiety)
I... I.... I... I.. Never-r... Played.. Dark Souls
That George Carlin reference was absolutely beautiful
What part of the video was that at again?
I just like the idea of a "Conga line of Skeletons." XD
Really Johnny? While I’m at school?
Adam E luckily, I have a field trip.
Adam E I have to prepare for school right now
Currently at school as well.
screw school. This is important.
Free block for me
Is Selene the Dark Souls of Kittens?
Yes
Rest in peace kentaro miura and thank you for making berserk which inspired dark souls
I like how when he complains about invaders, he shows one real dude and like 3 NPC phantoms.
Dark Souls is my favourite Berserk game.
There's a starman waiting in the sky Truly makes you feel like Guts.
Are there any other good Berserk games?
it's my favourite crash bandicoot game.
Spragon If you like Dynasty Warriors games then Berserk and the Band of the Hawk (Berserk Warriors) is a really fun game
Berserk and The Band of The Hawk was alright, but Dark Souls is the closest we are going to get to a great Berserk game, if that makes any sense.
This is the Dark Souls of reviews
Dying in this game is fine. Dying before you can regain your souls is one of the most infuriating experiences in games ever
True but once u gain a couple methods of souls farming it's not too bad . As long as it's not alot and u know where your going. At first farm the bridge wyvern then the darkroot garden with the covenant npcs and anor londo silver knights & giants.
@@GramoChopin Until you hunt an enemy to extinction according to a friend of mine who's a Dark Souls veteran.
@@StarlightMagician ...Im not sure what he means..ill guess tho. Maybe that's in reference to DS2. I haven't gotten to DS2 yet. I downloaded all them tho. Im working on getting 100% in DS1 first. At 72% now. But in DS2 they set it up that enemies STOP respawning after 10 or so times. Thus u can't farm enemies infinitely . Which sucks...i also heard u lose health every time u die. And it seems there are way more enemies in DS2.
Dying: “Aw, dammit. Alright, that’s a bit of a pain”
Losing your souls: “FFFFFFUUU-“
Dark Souls 2 had me once lose a stack of 60K souls.
It hurt. It hurt bad.
The Cuphead of action RPGs
Is this the Crash Bandicoot of platformers?
Wait that doesn’t sound right...
Cybrid101 it's the cuphead of RPGs....wait
HIS SHIRT
Your kitten really made my day
That sudden cut off of the music during the gameplay in the intro sequence was absolutely perfect
I enjoyed your review of dark souls. I'm new to your channel but I've been binging your stuff. And because you saved that kitten's life, I think you're as great a person as you are a game reviewer.
Edit: George Carlin as Solaire is brilliant!
Cute kitten johnny I'm glad you were able to take care of her and I hope you two have a great relationship
I can't wait for phase 2 of the Dark Souls Cinematic Universe, with upcoming releases such as Megaman 11(The Dark Souls of Megaman games), The Last of us 2( The N-Sane Trillogy of the Cuphead Franchise) and the mysterious Untitled From Software Game (The Bloodborn of the Kingdom Heats series)
Dark Souls has a great story if you take the time and look into it.
By far one of the best stories I've ever experienced in a game. You just don't get it handed to you on a silver platter. You can talk to NPCs for more info, but the absolute *best* thing you can do is read item descriptions. You'd be surprised how much lore is stuffed into a pair of gauntlets or some coins.
I think it's perfect. Players who don't give a rat's ass about story aren't forced to watch unskippable cutscenes, and players who do care about it can read the beautifully written tidbits of lore.
Lore is story...that's its literal meaning. If you mean that you're not happy because you don't have a DIRECTIVE, you do- the game just gives you the freedom to do it in whatever order you want. From the beginning you're told to ring the Bells of Awakening, and you're told why you have to do it. After that, you're told what your purpose is by Kingseeker Frampt, and you're tasked with satiating the Lordvessel. I won't spoil the ending for those who haven't played it...but there's absolutely a story to it.
If you found the gameplay stupid and level design "uneven", though, this really is not the game for you. You'll get a lot more enjoyment out of something like Skyrim or The Witcher.
I'm sorry you feel that way. I completely disagree with all of your points, and have my ideas as to why you feel the way you do, but I'm not going to argue. Have a good day.
I've played the entire series, the first game I've beaten six times. There are minimal glitches, and next to no cheap deaths. While yes, it's a matter of opinion, I believe in this case the problem is that people expect Dark Souls to be just another RPG. It's fundamentally different and you cannot assume that your prior knowledge of RPGs is enough to carry you through without bothering to learn the basics of the game.
It's not that you're too stupid, it has nothing to do with intelligence. Again, Dark Souls just doesn't hand the story to you like other games do (not that there's anything wrong with an easy-to-understand story.)
Dark Souls' plot is just hidden, you have to look for it. If you'd like, I can give you a full summary right here in the comments, to prove it to you.
I disagree with your comments about broken hitboxes- now, Dark Souls II? Absolutely, the hitboxes are heavily flawed in that game, although it's still pretty solid IMO. But the original game has some of the best hitboxes. If you disagree though, that's alright. I really appreciate that you're at least clarifying that you bear no ill will towards fans of the series. I respect anyone who understands that opinions are a thing.
So while our tastes may differ, I'm still glad we had this conversation. Have a good day :)
The ending features the ultimate boss.... the one that can kill you in a single glance by melting your heart and forcing you to scream 'SQUEEEEEEEE' while causing your arms to convulse.
That kitten is the true final boss of Dark Souls
The cat is gonna be your new Co-host
I wonder how Nathan feels about that.
more like Muh Co-Cat Selene
Johnny: here's the beginning of a beautiful friendship Celine give me a bro fist
Kitten: *meow*
Me: 😍😍😍
"A Giant Wolf with a sword in its mouth..."
Johnny created a Legendary in the Galar Region...
I swear this man is such a sweetheart, that kitten is just precious
I'm a Dark Souls super fan, and one of my favorite parts of these games is watching and hearing the expierences of new players.
Glad you finally tried the games and seemed to have enjoyed it. Though there is very much a story to these games, however if it's good or well told is up for debate.
Praise the Sun, chosen undead. Also we need to get you to try Bloodborne.
The story is very well told, considering it is told mostly through cryptic item descriptions and environment cues. There is so much depth to the lore that any one person would have to replay the game multiple times to get the full story. I'm not surprised Johnny thought there wasn't much story to it at all. Unless you actively follow the community or play the game many times, then you will miss almost everything. It even looks like he missed a bunch of character quest lines. There is much more replay-ability in Dark Souls than just what you can do with character builds. I think he even managed to miss the DLC area here! The best area of the game!
+VejyMonsa "The story is very well told, considering it is told mostly through cryptic item descriptions and environment cues. " - We may have different definitions of "well told"; how can a game that primarily tells its story with "cryptic item descriptions" ever qualify for such a label?
Maki Nishikino Just out of curiousity, what is your favorite soulsborne game?
There is a difference between story and lore.
Dark Souls has an amazing lore.
But the story is, find the bells, kill the bosses get confused by the ending :D
KnightNight 010 My favorite’s Bloodborne. My view on the series is the same as this original comment.
Awesome to see you tackle Dark Souls Johnny. Glad you enjoyed it, it's become one of my favorite series.
Also adorable kitten is ADORABLE :D
Watching this in 2021, where Demon’s Souls is the premier launch title of the PS5...
KITTYYYYYYYYYY
Man, this video is the Dark Souls of SomecallmeJohnny reviews.
Fenrir/DarkAura64 Nah, that's still Sonic 06.
Brandon Roberts That's a pretty Dark Souls thing to say.
Man, this video is the SomecallmeJohnny review of Dark Souls
“Don’t expect to beat this in a weekend” Ive seen twitch streamers who beat this game every day, usually before some other segment
I've beaten this game in like 15 hours with the dlc and no glitches, it's astonishing how quickly you can get through this game when you know what you're doing.
I spent my winter break on Demon’s souls does that count?
Sometimes I come back to this video just to see the cute kitty.
Same.
I've never played Dark Souls, but playing that while taking care of an abandoned kitten at the same time? That sounds like a real challenge.
KITTY!
Selene is definately adorbs.
“There’s a giant wolf that-that has a sword in his mouth. I mean what the fuck is this?” I guess he didn’t know about its backstory to care.
God I forgot how much I love this channel. Johnny's videos are truly inviting and a joy to watch.
I was going ro rush into that burning orphanage and save those kids, but hey! New Johnny video!
23:01 - KITTY!
Also a Dark Souls review. Nice.
I lost it at 'Dark Souls Cinematic Universe'.
"Solaire, I don't feel so good." Lol!
Also, FOR FUCK'S SAKE, people, Crash Bandicoot is NOT hard. Annoying in places, yes, but not hard.
It's hard only if you want 100% completion, average if you don't give a shit
Cuphead isn't hard as well. It's just RNG bs
He's soft and furry.
Crash bandicoot hard
@@berbladotcom3425 How the fuck is Cuphead RNG?
Dark Souls and an adorable newborn kitten is the ultimate juxtaposition and I love it.
>didn't praise the sun
>Didn't lore
>Didn't invest into vitality and then complained about getting killed constantly
Oh look a kitten! All is forgiven.
InFamousStickFigure I feel like Vitality is a beginner's trap. If you put too many levels in that you won't be able to do more damage and use better weapons and you'll just have more than average health which usually ends up just being an extra 1 or 2 hits with most difficult enemies.
I didn't have that problem my first time through, worse problem I had was trying to do a faith build too quickly and didn't invest enough in anything else so I could take a hit and the damage output wasn't a good trade off. And I disagree again, having at least 20-30 vitality depending on your skill will make it so you can take more like 4-6 hits more. It's only not worth it when the health increments for when it increases begins to have a hard cap.
That kitten Celine is adorable!
HunterMishky 117
I always thought John would suit a pet, not so much a dog but other pets like a tortouise...called paul. Just a note I think you might have spelt Selene wrong.
JunkyPorpoise42 a tortoise named Paul huh also I think you may have spelt tortoise wrong there...
The lore of this game is amazing.
Elliot vs Bloodborne?
NoonMountain Start the Elliot Seriously compilation
NoonMountain r.i.p. Elliott
The kitten was the best part of the video tbh not saying that the video is bad or anything, cats just seem to top anything for me
Fuck cats
21:20 The Boobie Lady? Litchi is in this game?
Good to know I wasn't the only to have Litchi pop up in my mind when I heard that line.
Amazing cheat ahead
And funny enough,
Spoilers
She's just an illusion.
Team Dusk not THAT bewbie lady, plus. Child bearing hips Bullet, Nut machine Broke.
Team Dusk Does Johnny know Taokaka?
Johnny: there isn't that much story
Me a player who has read 90% of text items among other things: that's cute
fluff dafire nerd
Kevin Matta yes I am
To be fair, the story is "world is dying, kill bosses" it's the lore that's complicated
I've been waiting on this for quite some time....
So glad to see it finally happen!
Thanks John!
As a long time Souls Veteran I'm proud of you giving this series a chance. That said there actually is a story but you have to piece it together through item descriptions and the like. A few CZcams channels I recommend to get a better understanding of the Dark Souls and Bloodborne universe are: EpicNameBro, A German Spy, and VaatiVidya. These folks make amazing content.
Also that kitten is too damn adorable.
TheAdventGamer Dark Souls Directed by VaatiVydia, there was once a light then there was darkness
GET OUT OF MY COMMENT SECTION!
*Vaativydia futher committed senpuku forever telling his theorys he became a Lord of Tinder*
"What the scenery looks like" tells the story?
Yea not sure why I typed that myself. Also it's been a while since I've been in the Souls game, what did Vaati do to earn such animosity?
he doesn't credit sources, is what i've heard
Congratulations on the new kitty, Johnny. That's so great. She's looking healthy and wonderful :)
I’ve been so interested in this game because I’ve been hearing so much about it but was so confused on what it was about, this is video is very Informative and entertaining as always, well put together video, the editing is slick and smooth having a nice flow the voice over is spot on, it’s not too long or short it’s great! Always love the videos!!
"i don't plan on playing Demon's Souls anytime soon" Demon's Souls PS5 has entered Johnnys something or other
Totally worth sitting though this review to the very end just to see that little kitten.
23:05 You Died...
Of cuteness c:
I really liked your narration about your experience in dark souls. Good stuff!
By far my favorite video from the johnny vs series
Perfect way to end something as brutal as Dark Souls, kitten!! ^_^
A baby kitten.
Well, get ready for you subscriber count to double within months:3
For sure. Plus you know, with some youtubers you could be wondering "Did they get this kitten on purpose", but after watching this channel and his livestreams for years, I feel confident that Johnny didn't. It's just a happy coincidence, which makes the story all the more adorable.
John your videos get better and better each time. Keep them coming!

Is this the Dark Souls of video game reviews?
No, but it is a review of a game that has unfortunately become a Scapegoat for Bad Game Journalists
On a scale of 1 to Dark Souls, how Dark Souls is Dark Souls?
Brandon Stout Dark Souls.
this is america
It's the Dark Souls of Dark Souls.
Crash
Pyroctopus wow real fuckin original
this is a really good video! got a nice point-to-point flow to it, good job!
My favorite moment to look back on was during my original run. I had lost my internet so I was unaware of the early patches to the game.... namely the one that limited how much curses stack.... it was my first run and I went completely blind so I found myself at the bottom of Ash lake... with no purging stones.... no lordvessel.... and a max hp of one.
So it was either start a new game... or be stubborn as shit and make it up tout of the lake and through Blighttown without being able to take a single hit or stand in the poison water for more than a few seconds. It was the single most grueling experience I've ever had in a game and yet the overwhelming satisfaction of finally perfecting the run and being rewarded with the merchant and my health back has yet to be topped.
(In a way I almost feel bad as new players won't get to experience the same level of frustration and the euphoric satisfaction since the curses now cap at about a third of your total health.... but then I remember how playing without the cap made the game all but unplayable and it's defiantly for the best. There's difficulty... and then there is broken game design that was rightfully fixed.)
23:03 I also found a little kitten about the same age two years ago in my alleyway behind my house. She was very deprived of food you could see her ribcage so we took her in and got her fed and now she's a happy and healthy cat and I love her so much.
Sathredis That's pretty cool bro! 👍
Somecallmejohnny is the Dark Souls of CZcams video game reviewers.
Best part was the Carlin bit at the end... I never realized he was the OG sunbro. Good video!
Didn't think I could love this man any more than I already do, then he brings out the kitten
That ending was so hecking cute that I might just die!
And die again, and again...
The Dark Souls of cats
Oh my God! A kitty!
I'm so happy that you found Saleen (don't know if I'm spelling that right). You are so kindhearted and have a great personality, keep raising that kitten and she'll grow up to be just as great as you are (if not better).
Also absolutely looking forward to the livestream of this. THAT will be fun.

I was not expecting Dark Souls but I enjoy this video and your cute kitty Selen she's adorable we don't blame you for taking long she needed the love and health😊
such a cute little kitten good job john
"A giant wolf that has a sword in his mouth" Dark Souls predicted Pokemon sword lol
Holy shit , you're right

Looks like Johnny got a new mascot for the channel, and it's adorable.
