I’m gonna simp for Miyazaki here for a second but just hear me out: Miyazaki created the games with the idea that this is your journey. The reason the coop works the way it does is because of something called “Silent Comradery.” Where people simply come to help you with a specific part of the game and then move on with their own journeys. The Soulsborne games were developed with single player in mind and Summons function less like actual companions and more like Fire Grease, where they simply help make a fight a little easier.
"You see etchings on the ground, appearing before you, they stand just within sight of a long-forgotten watchtower." -"What do they say?!" "A ghostly visage of a humanoid clad in armor appears, it points up towards the watchtower. The message reads: "Wish I had giant, but hole."
I could imagine the fight against a certain optional boss. DM: She leaps into the air, pausing for a moment, as if to ready herself. Player: I start blocking with my shield!

I want to play it but I get motion sickness from the way things move with the graphics. I've tried in other games to change a bunch of settings but none helped. I looked it up and quite a decent chunk of people have similar issues. I never had issues with games like ff14 or divinity or something, but these newer game effects always make me nauseous.
@@h.s.6269 Try to slowly get used to it. Try not locking on and instead of hyper focusing look at it without.. staring? I guess. Basically, if you focus to hard on any game it can hurt your eyes and cause motion sickness. I get it when I focus on one thing while moving over 10 mph (like basic speeds) the blurring around and trying to keep my sights on one central object cause my head to spin and the motion sickness comes after. I'd suggest playing ds1 or demon souls (remake or otherwise.. if you can get a ps5.... ) because its the equivalent of dipping your toes in before jumping head long into ice water.

Margit comments that you are all of passable skill. “Great, so does that mean he backs off? He acknowledges our potential?” What? No. He pulls out a hammer and lunges at you. Roll for reflex.
I remember our DM homebrewed the Pursuer into our game. We encountered him at lvl 2, he has 3 legendary actions and a reaction. And we roll a d20 at nightfall if we're outside a town. Of we roll below 15 we encounter him.

@@JuMiKu yeah but surprisingly the problem player is a pretty decent DM. I mean sure the previous campaign did have a evil jester DMPC, but he seem to have too much fun playing as the character to really show how evil he was.

And randomly during your session some random stranger barges in with a min-maxed PC, kills your entire party, leaves, and refuses to elaborate further.
I had this one player who was a DS fan. I swear, his EVERY single character is a copy of some Dark Souls boss or character, and he described every single time when attack missed him as a dodge. He just couldn't comprehend hit points as it is, he thought that every hit of damage is a wound and at the end of the battle he's standing there beaten and bleeding. Did I mentioned that he was powergamer? long story short, he was edgy af and always was sure that my world is revolving around his character, and he wasn't going to change, so we had to just kick him out
" can we stealth?" " I forgot we could do that" Me at level 48 with still 10 vigor: I didn't. " If I get hit I'm dead" Yep, that's me against every boss and a couple enemies too. I might not have magic next run but I'll have HP
@@Spamsgood you can respec after you defeat a boss that offers rebirth (return to the site you killed her) but you need an item called Lav Tear or something likr that. You can obtain that from killing the grafted scion in the stormveil castle near the rampant tower grace. I dont remember which boss but I think its Renala the Full Moon Queen
Playing Souls game as D&D: "You turn the corner... you get hit by an enemy you couldnt see, you take 200 damage, you die!" "No save, no nothing?" "Oh you must tell me if you want to make a save before something happens!" "But how do I know when?" "Dont worry, you revive on you last checkpoint, now you know hes there!" "WIll this happen alot? That I have to make saves against things I dont know are coming until its too late?" "Yes, I am hard but fair!"
This is truthfully one of the funniest sketches, a really good mix of hilarious timing, editing, and just generally good jokes. And talk about acting lol
Dude I've watched and enjoyed so many of your videos - this one hands down is the best single/multi-actor mix. you really pull off distinct individual characters and the audio overlays are great
I really love the creativity you put into your videos, you’re a boss Jacob! I wasn’t expecting to see an elden ring (my current obsession) video from you… but man you freaking NAILED IT xD good stuff!
"Aaaand you die pathetically to the first enemy. Man, your character really kinda sucks, you should get stronger by getting currency from killing things and spend it to level up." _"Wow, Elden Ring is just like first edition!"_
I totally want to do a Souls-like campaign. EXP is used as currency as well as level ups. But you lose them when you die. Resurection magic can restore lost EXP similar to the Rings of Sacrifice.
They don't know that patches sells an item that makes the margit fight much easier and that spirits make every fight much easier. The jellyfish is super tanky and can poison and the wolves can stunlock and are good at dodging.
The first thing I thought of was Zelda Breath of the Wild as D&D: DM: you see a dog sitting happy outside of the Stable tent. Player: I walk up to the dog DM: the dog gets up and yips a happy bark and chases his tail! Player: aww!! I pet the dog. DM: you can't. Player: can I at least try? DM: no Player: ... DM: ... Player: but... DM: the blood moon rises again.
y'know this is one of the first times I've noticed just how good at editing yourself together you are - it's to the point where I barely even register that this is one dude being 3-4 people. top notch stuff
Ya know, you joke, but I love the idea of a d&d game where people die bit come back at a small cost. Could make for some fun puzzle solving and whatnot
Actually quick story on this topic. I was playing an online game with a group I had never played with. The DM said that it would be an extremely difficult campaign so I was excited as I thought he meant difficulty by design puzzleds etc. Instead he essentially completely copied Elden from cover to back. His enemies were all just hit sponges and heavy damage dealers. I finished with this after a session but it was funny to see his frustration as we would be repetitively crippled until we got randomly great rng by every enemy we fought. 😂
I grew up playing dragon quest/warrior's and final fantasy so when I heard about dnd i instantly fell in love with it and when i see your chanel i just subscribe you have good skit and good dnd content creator in general keep up the good work.
(then suddenly some crazy dude crashes through the window) _"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU???"_ "oh, hi. i'm a hacker." *(beats the snot out of everyone in the room)* *(forces them to take gifts)* *(refuses to elaborate)* *(leaves)* (the jacobs end up on the 10 'o clock news and also in prison for possession of contraband)
The fact that you can't die honestly makes this nowhere near as hard as it seems. Even if you get shitty rolls every time, you can head somewhere else, get some levels and gear, and then face the boss again. I wonder if there's real tabletop RPGs with auto-res mechanics. If you guys know of any, please let me know.
Off the top of my head, I know jenna moran's games pretty much work like that on the principle that you should never be able to be forced to stop playing your character until the story ends.
@@timogul Good, the bosses might actually stand a chance if they had a 5% chance of critting you 😄 I jest, of course, but man can you melt some bosses if you know what you're doing.

He just couldn't comprehend hit points as it is, he thought that every hit of damage is a wound and at the end of the battle he's standing there beaten and bleeding. Did I mentioned that he was powergamer? long story short, he was edgy af and always was sure that my world is revolving around his character, and he wasn't going to change, so we had to just kick him out
If D&D was like Dragon's Dogma: "Do you want to restart in Hard Mode?" "Yeah, I feel like farming gold."
All I knew was that this game was hard. Now I know it’s also unreasonable lol
" can we stealth?"
" I forgot we could do that"
Me at level 48 with still 10 vigor: I didn't.
" If I get hit I'm dead"
Yep, that's me against every boss and a couple enemies too.
I might not have magic next run but I'll have HP
This series is slowly devolving into the Council of Jacobs ranting about whatever video game, and I'm all here for it.
No maidens?
*condescending glance*
That one shot. With 2 Jacobs at the table looking for the other 2 Jacobs. This is the pinnacle of content. I was shook.
WHY IS EVERYONE BACKSTABBING ME!
"Cuz it's easy...and it does a lot of damage."
Imagine DnD where you can respec your stats after killing the 3rd boss.
wait I can respec?? im running around I the castle still
@@Spamsgood you can respec after you defeat a boss that offers rebirth (return to the site you killed her) but you need an item called Lav Tear or something likr that. You can obtain that from killing the grafted scion in the stormveil castle near the rampant tower grace. I dont remember which boss but I think its Renala the Full Moon Queen
Respeccing should not be a thing in souls games tbh
Playing Souls game as D&D:
"You turn the corner... you get hit by an enemy you couldnt see, you take 200 damage, you die!"
"No save, no nothing?"
"Oh you must tell me if you want to make a save before something happens!"
"But how do I know when?"
"Dont worry, you revive on you last checkpoint, now you know hes there!"
"WIll this happen alot? That I have to make saves against things I dont know are coming until its too late?"
"Yes, I am hard but fair!"
I mean there are usually warnings on the floor when that happens. Not that i did not die like this but often i was aware due to the warnings.
Love the fact that it took them 3 hours to get the cash for just one level. Swear they didn't pay attention to the money enemies drop sometimes
Honestly a system built around a souls like genre would be...super fun.
This is truthfully one of the funniest sketches, a really good mix of hilarious timing, editing, and just generally good jokes. And talk about acting lol
I knew it was going to be "try finger but hole", even so, when Jacob held up the paper I couldn't stop laughing.
"He teaches you how to do this" [gesture]
Got me laughing out loud in the floor
Dude I've watched and enjoyed so many of your videos - this one hands down is the best single/multi-actor mix. you really pull off distinct individual characters and the audio overlays are great
great work. Well acted and shot. editing was stellar here. You made it feel like a room full of different people.
I really love the creativity you put into your videos, you’re a boss Jacob! I wasn’t expecting to see an elden ring (my current obsession) video from you… but man you freaking NAILED IT xD good stuff!
The “nope there’s mist” got me dying
"Aaaand you die pathetically to the first enemy. Man, your character really kinda sucks, you should get stronger by getting currency from killing things and spend it to level up."
_"Wow, Elden Ring is just like first edition!"_
That's a new level of editing. Great Job!
"Tarnished"
"Oh shit"
So true. Too relatable. For both games
Right... If this is what they feel with Margit imagine what their reaction will be once MORGOT arrives!
I like that I'm learning elden ring solely from people making references to it
''Try Fingers. But hole'' that's so funny, Jacob should do another Elden Ring Sketch
I totally want to do a Souls-like campaign. EXP is used as currency as well as level ups. But you lose them when you die.
Resurection magic can restore lost EXP similar to the Rings of Sacrifice.
They don't know that patches sells an item that makes the margit fight much easier and that spirits make every fight much easier. The jellyfish is super tanky and can poison and the wolves can stunlock and are good at dodging.
The first thing I thought of was Zelda Breath of the Wild as D&D:
DM: you see a dog sitting happy outside of the Stable tent.
Player: I walk up to the dog
DM: the dog gets up and yips a happy bark and chases his tail!
Player: aww!! I pet the dog.
DM: you can't.
Player: can I at least try?
DM: no
Player: ...
DM: ...
Player: but...
DM: the blood moon rises again.
y'know this is one of the first times I've noticed just how good at editing yourself together you are - it's to the point where I barely even register that this is one dude being 3-4 people. top notch stuff
This was absolutely brilliant! Love your content, mate!
This is how intense D&D is supposed to feel😃
Ya know, you joke, but I love the idea of a d&d game where people die bit come back at a small cost. Could make for some fun puzzle solving and whatnot
This could also, potentially, lead to chronic horse stacking.
crazy production in this video, those were some awesome shots
"Tarnished!"
"oh shit"
Absolutely hilarious
I love your videos
Have a lovely weekend, everyone!!!
3:24 I'm not going to lie, I am a bit disappointed that that sign did not say "dog".
This is easily one of your highest quality solo vids hahahah I loved the use of the split screen. My high ass is in tears 😂😂😂😂
But you can't be invaded without cooperaters in elden ring.
Under normal circumstances... Yes.
But... There's this item... ... ...
Actually quick story on this topic. I was playing an online game with a group I had never played with. The DM said that it would be an extremely difficult campaign so I was excited as I thought he meant difficulty by design puzzleds etc. Instead he essentially completely copied Elden from cover to back. His enemies were all just hit sponges and heavy damage dealers. I finished with this after a session but it was funny to see his frustration as we would be repetitively crippled until we got randomly great rng by every enemy we fought. 😂
This is the best of your videos. Do more Elden!
I grew up playing dragon quest/warrior's and final fantasy so when I heard about dnd i instantly fell in love with it and when i see your chanel i just subscribe you have good skit and good dnd content creator in general keep up the good work.
I wish one level up was enough for Margit 🤣
Hmm, Jacob's dad beard is coming in. Wonder why...
(then suddenly some crazy dude crashes through the window)
_"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU???"_
"oh, hi. i'm a hacker."
*(beats the snot out of everyone in the room)*
*(forces them to take gifts)*
*(refuses to elaborate)*
*(leaves)*
(the jacobs end up on the 10 'o clock news and also in prison for possession of contraband)
That was really well done, haha! There are some really interesting mechanics with this..
2:24 no maidens?
Wow I was just thinking when will XP to level 3 do a Elden Ring/D&D video lol.....
This was so well done dont know how i missed this video
Damn dude you really killed it with this one.
This was freaking hilarious 🤣 … I watched it after a 7.5 hour campaign session and having taken sleeping meds but, regardless, hilarious
The fact that you can't die honestly makes this nowhere near as hard as it seems.
Even if you get shitty rolls every time, you can head somewhere else, get some levels and gear, and then face the boss again.
I wonder if there's real tabletop RPGs with auto-res mechanics.
If you guys know of any, please let me know.
Elden Ring lacks Nat 20s though.
Yep it's replaced by nat one untill you "git gud"
Off the top of my head, I know jenna moran's games pretty much work like that on the principle that you should never be able to be forced to stop playing your character until the story ends.
@@timogul Good, the bosses might actually stand a chance if they had a 5% chance of critting you 😄
I jest, of course, but man can you melt some bosses if you know what you're doing.
@@Msoulwing boss mobs shouldn't be able to crit. In general I dislike common crit systems. I should be for pivotal moments or at great personal risk.
All the screaming at the same time, at the end, was really good. Thank you Lol
"Hello fellow friend!"
"Tarnished!"
"Oh shit"
XD
