Youtubbers are fucking cringy, I can't even.
Whoa, is it 2009 again?
>>24602710
dark souls came out in 2011
I haven't seen the DaS one specifically, but that is a great channel if you want to cringe and hate teenagers.
>>24602758
lol no it didnt FUCKING NEWFAG gtfo my board normie bitch scum fuck BAKA BAKA BAKA FaM
is dark souls even good
i watched some youtube videos of it and it looks boring as fucking hell
>>24602710
It's been 2009 for 6 years now.
>>24602815
It's bittersweet. The fact that it's so difficult makes it so desirable to beat.
>>24602815
It's all subjective you literal sheep.
>>24602815
Yes it's a very good game especially if you enjoy challenge and atmosphere.
>>24602815
would recommend wholeheartedly. fanbase is cancerous though, full of 'enlightened teens' with superior gaming tastes.
>>24602702
Im Gen X and the entire concept of vlogging is lost on me.
I dont think ive made it through a single vid of someone talking to camera or playing a game.
Im like who is this idiot why would they think i want to watch them
>>24603354
>not watching our forefathers elliot, reviewbrah, eggman and kent.
what are you and how did you get here
>>24602815
Sure it is, the whole salling point is about how hard it is and how dying has consequences, which is all half true.
Like all modern games, you have infinite lives and there is no Game Over screen. The catch is that when you die you lose your "souls" which are both the in-game currency and your experience points for leveling up. You have once chance to get them back but if you die again while trying to retrieve them they are lost permanently.
There are no quicksaves at all, like with Fallout where you can just die and reload from when you entered a building or something and try again, the game rewrites autosaves and your physical progress in the game's map can only be saved at bonfire. So if you travel far away from your last bonfire and die (which is foten the case with boss fights), you have to travel all that again and fight all the enemies again.
Another feature is how tough even the enemies are, even rats and skeletons nevermind the bosses, and have as much of a chance to kill you than you can kill them. Once you learn to stay in enemies' asses and manage your stamina it's more about patience.
overall, I give it a fun/10
>>24603543
>salling point
>this whole post
>>24602815
it's a game where you go on a quest.
if you actually want to go on a quest in a kingdom then play the game it's atmospheric and fun.
>>24603354
I'm also gen X and totally agree.
It boggles my mind that there is a whole economy based on watching SOMEONE ELSE play videogames.
>>24603354
>I dont think ive made it through a single vid of someone talking to camera
Okay Grandpa, it's like a radio show but also with a television's moving pictures, on your computer screen.
>>24602815
SHUT THE FUCK UP CASUL
I HATE YOU
DON'T TOUCH MY DARK SOULS
>>24603857
So you never went to an arcade or like a Sear's department store or even a friend's house to watch other people play since you had no money or didn't have the video game yourself?
>>24603857
>>24603354
>Im Gen X
>there are 40-50 year olds on r9k
>>24602815
Great lore, great atmosphere and solid mechanics. Don't listen to the 'its soooo hard' meme. Its pretty easy once you learn the mechanics. It's one of my favorite games for sure
>>24602815
Absolute shit game for autist fedora tippers
Halo is better
>>24602815
>tfw playing DS right now
feels comfy mane
I watch Game grumps unironically
Its essentially part of my daily routine, and I'll rewatch game playthroughs
>>24603937
Point taken. I did go to arcades with limited funds and watched my cousin play pinball because he kicked ass.
It just seems more cold and distant when you're watching someone through a screen who isn't really your friend. But I guess as progress marches forward, more and more is experienced through a screen.
>>24602702
I hope Bose sues them for using there headphones
>>24603970
i may be fairly recently married but the fact im sitting here at 4am on /r9k/ shows i still identify as the game addicted robot i was in my 30s
>>24602702
Do normalfags really get tricked into watching a video just because of those stupid faces?
>>24603937
Yeh but im old and all these youtbers are fucking stupid little idiots who spout non stop crap and id rather gargle shit than listen to their immature nonsense.
so fucking glad no record of my life 14-25 exists online. millennials are all gonna be suiciding when at 40 they are going for midmanagement roles and their life is on youtube.
>>24604185
Same. I'm only(??) 30 and did/do both. We still had arcades when I was a kid and I rarely had enough money to play for more than like 15 minutes a week so I'd just spend the rest of my time watching the good/wealthy kids beating everyone else at Mortal Kombat.
My parents wouldn't buy me a Nintendo or Genesis or anything when I was a kid so I went to some other kid's house to mostly watch him play and wait my turn, and whenever my mom would take me shopping somewhere there was usually a Nintendo on display with like 5 other kids waiting in line to play for a bit.
I do watch some gaming youtubers, but it's really mostly just a way to find out about obscure games and see what the new & popular ones are like. Sometimes it's to see how better players have strategies which is the case with things like e-sports.
I've never sat through an entire 15-part 40-hour playthrough, because I've seen all there is to see after a couple of hours, but apparently millions of people are.
>>24604366
Haha to your second point.
I cringe hard when my dad takes out old VHS tapes from my childhood. Just imagine when those little shits are our age and wanting to suicide over stupid youtube videos they made when they were 15
>>24603883
Except it isn't like that at all. It's like having a very boring person give you their diary and asking you to read it.
>>24604584
>watching someone play a video game is like reading a book
I think there's a few loose ends and holes in that analogy.
>>24604482
>apparently millions of people are
I guess the internet is an arcade and the youtubers are the rich kids people crowd around.
>>24604507
holy fuck yeah imagine 80s kv me all over Google I would rather be dead

>>24604366
I sort of get what you're saying, social media and all, but most teens on youtube are really savvy & aren't putting anything "questionable" out there and are doing it to get a head start in the entertainment or even media industries. Some of them are self-made millionaires and bypassed the traditional Hollywood & TV cat & dog show.
They're not going to kill themselves because an employer looked at videos of them from 25 years ago which I don't even know would still be around anymore.
>>24604667
agree with your post but that picture is petty as fuck senpai
>>24604781
Reviewbrah doesn't put out any questionable content but goddamn it hiring managers my age are going to look at that and perceive that something is seriously wrong with him and that he gives out a creeper vibe and maybe he's the type to shoot up a workplace.
>>24604781
>but most teens on youtube are really savvy & aren't putting anything "questionable" out there and are doing it to get a head start in the entertainment or even media industries.
Twitter and instagram and facebook and snapchat and vine and omegle and every other social media app/site are a whole other thing though. People get especially stupid on those, but not so much youtube.

Reviewbrah is awesome, there is literally nothing wrong with enjoying fast food & junk food with a little bit of class.
Plus it's not like he puts that stuff out there under his real name.
>>24604964
get off of the internet old man
>>24602702
>I can't even.
Kys for saying that OP.
>>24605051
It's past your bedtime, son.
>>24605011
Eh, he kind of looks like a person that is going to snap at some point.
Anyway, you get the feel from his vids that you probably wouldn't want to work with him.
My philosophy is that companies can't dig up what you don't bury on the internet.
>>24604120
I quit my current playthrough when I lost like 200k souls and 9 humanity in the catacombs, I was at the jump to the great scythe but died falling to vamos
On my way back I fucked the jump
>>24605086

reeeeeeeetaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard

>immediately fall off the elevator/watermill thing
At least DS2 has like 5 different rings of no-death where you don't lose anything or even really technically except the ring breaks instead and you can just repair it for only 3000 souls.
or was there a ring like that in the first dark souls?
>>24605546
yeah ring of sacrifice and rare ring of sacrifice, but they were only usefull for the forced death on seath
otherwise people just used havels ring and FaP ring because you only had 2 slots (occasionally different rings for pvp)
People never used the rings because it's easy enough to get back to your souls in most spots, but stuff like blighttown and catacombs are just retarded occasionally
>>24605517
I hope we bomb your country.
>>24605654
>but stuff like blighttown and catacombs are just retarded occasionally
I think the most frustrating deaths were trying to make the jump to what's-his-face Aye Siwmae who sells boss armor and hung out under the bridge in the starting area.
Jumping on time was the hardest boss in that game.
>>24605732
If your weight was below 25% it wasn't too bad, I did die a lot mid-rolling because that jump is stupid
>>24604584
take your adderall gramps
I've beaten Dark Souls about 50 times, including a few Soul Level 1 runs. I have every achievement.
It's the only game I can play for more than a few minutes these days.
Lordran is like home, to me.
