>breaks the bridge in the Catacombs
>doesn't use it as a ladder
>instead he jumps down
I didn't even realize it doubled as a ladder.
He's done much dumber things than that in this blind playthrough.
hes a fucking retard and annoying as fuck
>sees ds1 reference
>starts talking about the same shit hes been talking about in his old lore videos for like 10 minutes
SHUT THE FUCK UP ENB
>>336125370
True, but today's video just pissed me off in a different kind of way.
He didn't even try to rush to cut off the bridge before the horde of skeletons came across it.
>>336125375
>complaining that a lorefag behaves like a lorefag
>>336125441
I'm more annoyed at how he's now probably gonna spend 4-5 videos backtracking and doing smouldering lake.
>>336125204
Thanks for the spoiler, asshole. I'm like 3 or 4 videos behind.
>>336125442
Not that guy, but he tends to really overthink things.
>What are you trying to tell me, titanite shard?
>Why did they put you here?
>>336125204
>it's an "ENB complains about the Souls community, intentionally incites hostility, then complains that they're mean" episode
>>336125608
According to his Twitter he missed 2 optional areas that he gets in NG+.
I assume he missed Izalith and Dark Firelink.
to be fair, the game fucks you over and doesn't give you the option to climb down for a good 5 seconds after you cut the bridge down.
>>336125942
>it's a "comments are disabled for this video" episode
Why?
He already said he wasn't reading the comments himself, that someone else was filtering through them for non-spoiler stuff.
So why remove it altogether?
>>336126195
>according to his Twitter
Was that in response to someone?
>>336126364
Did it? It gave me one as soon as it settled down from moving/collapsing.
>>336126898
>Was that in response to someone?
Someone asked him where he was in the game and he said NG+, then they asked if he got all the optional areas and he said that he had missed a couple.
Maybe he misses them in NG+ also, but it seems like he is aware of them now though.
>>336127197
So if he's done with the game, why is he releasing only one video per day?
>>336128172
Views.
>>336128172
Shitty Internet.
He can only get out 1 video a day, sometimes 2.
the button prompt didn't appear to use the ladder so he assumed that it didn't work, he did actually try to check if it was a ladder but he did it too quickly for the fucking rom hack of a game to keep up and display the prompt
>>336125441
Why are people getting mad at him for what he does in a BLIND playthrough? Do you all really expect him to know how everything works before he even played the game?
>>336125942
How does he "intentionally incite hostility"? From what I've seen on Twitter, he's just giving people shit who have already given him nonstop shit for playing the game in a less-than-optimal fashion on his first playthrough of the game.
>>336125204
>beat deacons of the deep
>didn't see their robes drop
CMON ENB IT WAS ON THE SCREEN 3 TIMES. CMON MAN.
>>336128664
What?
At that point he already knew he could cut the bridge from the boss-fight side and he saw them rushing towards him and just stood there.
>>336128664
This.
If you want to get mad at a playthrough, get mad at fucking Pat and Woolie playing DS3.
That shit is so fucking bad that it makes their Bloodborne playthrough look like Deadly Premonition.
Listening to his podcast right now and he's complaining about the community.He's right.
>>336128483
Pretty much this
Still today's episode was pretty trash
>I wanna press forward but instead I'll backtrack through the entirety of one of the dullest areas in the game
Nigger just wait for NG+ to redo whatever you fuck up.
>>336128842
Its amazing hearing all of them go "IT MUST BE THIS"
and it never ever is. Pat still has no fucking idea about how to level but at least hes doing it offline. Spy is throwing a shit-fit because he has to put a single point into Dex in order to equip a weapon. The autistic min-maxing fuck.
>>336128850
Yup. The Souls community started going to shit around the time Dark Souls came out on PC, but DS2 really is where it became fucking terrible. Idiots took the "git gud" thing seriously and now there's such a level of elitism that literally every single thread about ANY Souls game turns into vile shitslinging and a complete lack of any real discourse.
Back in the Demon's Souls days talking about the game was fantastic. Threads were full of people trying to help each other out and discussions about the game's lore and world building. Advice was freely shared and people weren't shamed for asking questions. It's so sad what happened to the community.
>>336129257
To be fair, great swords and ultra great swords having such high dex requirements is kind of crazy. It's just weird that you basically HAVE to make your GS or UGS Heavy in order to do a pure strength build.
>>336129257
>You wouldn't know this because you never played Dark Souls but...
And then proceeds to be completely wrong.
The DS3 LP is turning into their Walking Dead Season 2 LP with how much unneeded hate Pat is throwing at DS2, even though he is completely wrong.
The area it leads to is pointless anyways.
>>336125204
I jumped down, but i survived.
Still at least he noticed that one are he kept running past and he has the idea of using spook. So maybe there is hope yet.
It'll be funny when he finally stumbles unto Patches.
>>336126195
Hm, i'd wager he misses Archdragon Peak and Dark Firelink instead.
>getting mad at another person's video
>a LETS PLAY of all things
I cringed so hard I had a stroke. kill yourselves
>>336129293
He was bang on about the wiki thing, its a really strange comparison but something similar happened to WoW. All of the add-ons and WoWHead took any degree of conversation and exploration out of the game and then people complained it was boring and too easy with their class specific UI add-ons and golden trail.
Familiarity left From two ways to go make another game in the same style and hope fans actually see it as a send off to the series OR make it as hard as they possibly could. I'm pretty glad they choose the former, I might have had little problem with the game but thats just because I've played the previous 4 fucking games.
>>336129293
>The Souls community started going to shit around the time Dark Souls came out on PC
Oh look, another person blaming the PC community for turning the Souls community to shit.
Protip: it turned shit the moment it was on more than one platform, i.e. 360's crowd addition.
So don't go all bullshitting about PC ruining shit.
I've been playing From games before Souls even began and while DeS had a niche, relatively peaceful community, DaS, specifically the multiplat console release, signaled the start of shitting all over each other. And I'm not saying the 360 owners started shitting alone. The PS3 guys did too. Because holy fuck if there's one thing that console owners enjoy doing, it's shitflinging at each other. If they can't boast how they have some exclusive to hold over the head of the other console corporation brand, then they start shitting up the mutual space they share. In this case, it was Dark Souls.
>>336129293
We still have some DeS threads and Bloodborne ones are nice if you ignore the occasional shitposter who hasnt played it yet or is too much in love with DaS.
>>336129517
>It'll be funny when he finally stumbles unto Patches.
How would he even do that?
It requires him going up the elevator in the tower behind Firelink, doesn't it?
>>336129919
I'm not blaming the PC community, I was simply pointing out that it was around that time that the community basically started dying. It's not because of the PC community specifically, it's more a matter of the game being more widely available and thus a wider range of people having access to it. There is a degree of blame to be placed on the PC community since PC gamers tend to have the elitist attitude towards others so that just carried over into Dark Souls, but it is by no means entirely because of the PC release that the community became terrible.
>>336128850
>he's complaining about the community.
He wasn't complaining about the community, he just thinks things are different and don't have the same mystery as when the series was new.
>>336130029
The occasional Soulsborne fanart thread can also be pretty comfy.
>>336130123
The event already triggered, he just didn't notice the sound of the gate closing and chose leave by dropping down, missing the gate being closed.
i fell with the bridge and ended up on the other side of the stalactite wall, i was able to run down the wall all the way to horace
it was fun
>>336130189
>It's not because of the PC community specifically, it's more a matter of the game being more widely available and thus a wider range of people having access to it.
Ah, my bad, I misunderstood you then.
Yeah, I agree with that assessment.
Ultimately, wider audience tends to mean more shit getting brought into the community too, and there has to be more quality to outweigh it, but more often than not, shitters tend to be way more vocal.
As for elitist attitude, I don't know. Some have it, no question. I played on PC for as long as I remember, but during the years and decades, I expanded my boundaries and became basically an idort. Had the money for it so I saw no reason to restrict myself to just one platform.
Still like PC best, but yeah, there's so many fucking kids nowadays with access to PCs and no idea what they're doing, it's just a disaster.
>>336129919
Bro, why are you so defensive? You know, maybe the reason so many people point to the PC release of Dark Souls as the moment the community died is because it's true. All you "PC master race" faggots who take yourselves so god damn seriously did the same thing with Dark Souls that you do with everything: Shit on anyone who is worse than you or has any kind of questions to ask. Not to mention the easy piratability of the game opened the community up to the toxic piratefags who never have anything worthwhile to contribute to any conversation since seemingly the only thing they can talk about his how stupid people are for buying games.
>>336125939
That's the best thing about him tho.
>>336130189
Agreed. It was popularity and the memes that turn one of the best communities of vidya I've ever known into a poison that contantly I try to avoid.
>>336125939
Well in dark souls everything was placed in a way that gave it a back story, whereas dark souls 3 doesn't have a lot of that.
Also, how come Andre isn't from Astora anymore even though Astora apparently still exists?
>>336130441
I'm not. At all. I just hate it when one community is solely blamed for everything bad that happens to something. I'd be defending the 360 crowd if someone was blaming solely them or the PS3 if someone was blaming them. Because it's never the fault of just one person.
>All you "PC master race" faggots who take yourselves so god damn seriously did the same thing with Dark Souls that you do with everything
And here we go! Don't you just love generalization?
>Shit on anyone who is worse than you or has any kind of questions to ask
Oh fuck off. Every, and I mean literally every, community has its shitters.
I have no idea how or when or why that elitism started, but it's there. You could have ignored the cunts, given them no attention whatsoever, but you did, you feed the fucking trolls, regardless where they originate from, and then you wonder why they're still there.
>Not to mention the easy piratability of the game opened the community up to the toxic piratefags who never have anything worthwhile to contribute to any conversation since seemingly the only thing they can talk about his how stupid people are for buying games.
Yeah, that's bullshit.
You could pirate it for the 360 and PS3 as well.
I know, because the first time I played it, it was on a friend's 360 and it was a pirated copy.
His blind play through has been rough in a few areas, still the fact that tried his best to go in blind as a bat to the game is something i can respect.
>>336130441
Come on now, I own a PS4, and that comment is just as toxic the PC fags in your theory. Just chill out people and enjoy the fucking games instead of shitting in this entry of the series or the platform of choice.
>>336130697
>Oh fuck off. Every, and I mean literally every, community has its shitters.
This is true, but not to the extent that Dark Souls has them.
>>336130837
Blame that on popularity.
Blame it on the internet, if you like.
People who got consoles also use the internet.
Or do you think people who post on the internet solely use PCs and nothing else?
>>336130697
>You could pirate it for the 360 and PS3 as well.
Not nearly as easily as you could on PC. 360 required physical modding to play pirated games, and the PS3 CFW, while much simpler, did require a degree of familiarity with soft modding things in order to do it. On PC it was just a matter of downloading the game and installing it.
>>336130808
>Just chill out people and enjoy the fucking games
But you don't understand, people are playing the game differently than me and that's WRONG. I MUST call them out on it at any and all opportunity!
>>336130441
>toxic
Also the once who were spewing the git gud meme were all console players that finished the game and were assblasted their shitty console lost another exclusive. When pc guys started getting rekt by taurus and kapra at first and tried talking about it, all they got was git gud.
All of the games of which I enjoyed the communities are dead (Castlevania, Silent Hill, Metroid). Still soulsfag keep trashing to the ground a great series with their fucking arrogance and memes.
>>336131198
Yeah, and that was 3 games ago. The community could have moved on from that and banded together, but no, that would require some level of maturity and desire to help one another, and we just can't have that now, can we?
Souls games becoming popular was the worst thing that could have happened to the series, which really sucks because without the level of popularity it has the series would have been dead at Dark Souls 1.
>>336129919
Mate you can fuck right off, it was PC entirely that did it.
Sure, Dark being on 360 meant it wasn't quite as magical as Demons (NOTHING was, total unique circumstance) but PC getting hands on it fucked the community entirely.
It wasn't all bad additions but for the most part all the current bullshit you see Souls related is because of that. Anyone who doesn't realise this is an idiot or in denial. I play on all platforms and am glad the games are on PC, but don't kid yourself.
>>336129919
Its so fucking strange to meet other people that really liked From's output before the coming of the Souls. Its just weird thinking that current From would never ever produce anything like what they used to. So many people are going to be all over whatever they choose to make next, and so much of it is going to be pre-emptively negative and "From was never good" shitposting.
>>336125204
It's a BLIND playthrough friend. If he was pretending he was some authority on the game and knew what was going on, I might see the complaint. But this is literally his first time.
I understand blind not being your thing though, wait a month or two and he'll have a much more informed playthrough going.
>>336129919
The PC community ruined the game. In a matter of days it became impossible to play the game online properly thanks to the number of hackers who were just out to ruin everyone's fun. That has not changed since Dark Souls 1, and in fact now it's at the point where assholes are attacking people with weapons modified to get their victim soft-banned from the game. Do you realize how shitty a thing that is to do? What kind of person decides "I'm going to go into other people's games and make it so they can't play online anymore, and that's ok"?
There's no way to have a good community when you have people like that as a part of it.
>>336131436
Where'd this meme start?
>>336131598
Hyep.
It's funny to me how so many people get upset "Oh God, From is reusing something from a previous Souls/Bloodborne game!" when that's what they've been doing the whole time.
I don't think a lot of them even know that Patches isn't native to Souls games at all.
Oh and I love the guys who go "but what if Souls had guns?" crowd. I really wish they would play Shadow Tower Abyss.
>>336131436
someone post the google analytics
>>336130675
>Astora still exist
In the item description says Astora is destroyed or some shit
>>336131843
It's a console wars thing, sonyggers are mad that PCucks "stole" their exclusive series (even though Dark Souls wasn't exclusive, but Xbox really is irrelevant in /v/ discussions). The exact opposite would be happening if it was a PC exclusive ported to Playstation, it's all a matter of increase in popularity.
>>336131427
As more and more people joined for DS2, the ones who played before wanted to feel better about themselves and tell newbies to git gud like they were once told before. Couple that with the retarded pro mlg pvp videos and the rise of fighting club faggots and you get a community that gets shittier and shittier. There was no real feel of figuring stuff out because DS2 had shitty lore and everything was available in a guide anyway.
It got even worse when DS3 hit because faggot streamers got it weeks before everyone else and discovered everything with their thousands of backseat players on stream. When most people got the game there was 0 incentive to try hard to find new stuff because it was probably something that was already discovered and nobody would care about.
>>336131843
What meme? PC being full of shitters? Well, what was the first game to be played widely online? It probably started somewhere around there.
>>336131843
Once the PC got the game + DLC before the consoles got the DLC
>>336132008
And to add, Anri only took the "of Astora" part, because it sounded cool to her, essentially.
>>336131947
>"but what if Souls had guns?"
Isn't that just Bloodborne?
>>336125204
All these salty faggots.
If you dont like the guy just dont watch him play.
Why neo /v/ is soo retarded.
>>336131751
>What kind of person decides "I'm going to go into other people's games and make it so they can't play online anymore, and that's ok"?
A cunt.
If he could do it on a console, you think he wouldn't? Of course he would. This particular cunt just happens to have a PC and you can do that on a PC since it's not a restricted platform as consoles tend to be. That's all. Opportunity.
Also, people keep calling him a hacker, but Malcolm Reynolds is nothing more than a script kiddie who stole someone else's work and is just using that and acting up like he's done it on his own or like he's trying to "fix" anything about the game by forcing From to recognize the flaws in the game's coding.
He's just an asshole. That's all.
He'd be an asshole on console if could, but he can't, so he isn't.
>>336132112
>And to add, Anri only took the "of Astora" part, because it sounded cool to her, essentially.
What a dork
>>336131751
Cry more. Hackers aren't even remotely the reason why it went to shit.
>>336132054
This is true, but that's no excuse for people who either played the game during that period or watched someone play the game shitting on everyone who is playing it for the first time now and thus don't know where everything is or how everything works. It's like these people completely lack the ability to understand that just because they know everything about the game it doesn't mean that everyone else also does.
>>336132238
Be nice, she is just a girl in hopes that she'll find her husbando someday in this cinder blasted world.
Why this sudden hostility against ENB? Did something happen I missed?
>>336132238
Hey screw you buddyI love Anri ;_;
>>336132392
Essentially, people are mad at him for not knowing everything about the game on his first go through.
>>336132605
His viewers begged him to do a Blind playthrough and now realise that was a fucking retarded request and need to lash out against him for their own stupidity.
>>336132605
>>336132701
Man, what happened. All this vitriol for essentially nothing. I mean I understand that it can be painful to watsch someone miss something as someone who has played games for his whole life.. but seriously somewhere in your brain you must realize, that this is partially irrational anger. ENB no less, which is obviously a very good player for the most part. Fucking community.
>>336125375
Then why do you watch him?
>>336132392
People is just weird, they already finish the game multiple times but they get mad that ENB miss stuff or get killed in a boss while he watch his attacks in a offline-first walktrought
>>336132378
>>336132453
Calm down there Horace, didn't even know you could talk.
Did Sully fuck Dancer?
>>336132372
This is correct.
I think half of them are just retards who think their complains are ironic and funny somehow because they've been conditioned to feel superiority for beating this "ultra hard game".
The other half is just so used to cruising through enb's other videos where he knows what he's doing that it really upsets him when he misses stuff.
>>336132392
ENB is making stupid mistakes, much like a lot of us do when we start a game blind. However, because guides are everywhere, and he has a large enough following, people are getting pissy he isn't playing so perfect as he had in other games
And this is why people who demand blind LPs should be shot, as it's almost always the worst kind of commentary if there is no prior knowledge or anything. No way to digest information due to reactions and thoughts being more in the present.
>>336125441
Oh yeah, you're just supposed to KNOW you can cut that bridge down and use it as a ladder even though you could never do that in previous Souls games...
>>336132453
Here's a webm of me slowly penetrating Anri
>>336132392
He's doing a blind playthrough of DS3 and for some reason it seems to offend people when he does something differently than they did.
>>336132924
Whoa there, Sirris, don't take everything so seriously.
>>336132834
Community isn't the same anymore man. It's not about the discovery, or chearing each other on for their accomplishments. It's about pretending you're better than everyone else.
>>336132701
I thought it was more that he personally wanted to do it blind, due to having worked on the guides for BB and DaSII.
>>336132983
Anon, watch the video.
The horde of skeletons I was referring to came after he already knew the bridge could be cut down from the side of the boss-fight.
>>336133009
BLUE BOARD!
>>336133009
You.

>doubles back to Catacombs and makes no progress
FUCK GOD DAMNIT
YOU'RE SO FUCKING CLOSE
>>336125204
I did the same my first time.
It is cool to play with a guide?
or dont tell me, you play online following the messages for all the secrets.
>>336133235
Bandai's marketing for any of the games hasn't helped at all. They push the elitism angle hard.
>>336133086
I think he gave commentators the choice of waiting a month or so for him to play and get to the level of his usual output or do it blind right when he first got the game. Guess what they went for.
>>336132951
Theres one way to make blind playthroughs work and its having two co-commentators who have played the game beforehand guiding the blind player. Oh hey Geop is playing Dark Souls 2.
>>336132951
>people are getting pissy he isn't playing so perfect as he had in other games
Do these people think those other playthroughs he did were also blind or something?
wait it turns into a ladder? i just stood in the middle and it deposited me at the bottom with a little bit of missing hp
there's not even a single way to know it turns into a ladder, fucking hackazaki and his shit design
>>336133319
>I think he gave commentators the choice of waiting a month or so for him to play and get to the level of his usual output or do it blind right when he first got the game. Guess what they went for.
Yeah this was something he talked about quite a while ago.
>>336132951
This.
Also people think that if they've watched some streamers discover stuff live or read a message in game that somehow means they were the ones who figured stuff out. They take the messages for granted so much, I don't think they've ever stopped to think how much shit they'd miss without them.
I do admit some of his mistakes are because he didn't pay enough attention but that really happens to anyone and it's much easier to notice when watching someone else play.
>>336125375
>sees ds2 reference
>either doesn't recognize it at all because he never played the Crowns
>or just mumbles "from dark souls 2..." and moves on
>>336133363

Besides looking at it?
I just want him to finish a DeS playthrough, is that too much to ask?
>>336133424
Nah man I played with one hand with my eyes gouged out in Japanese with no prior knowledge of the entire series while doing backflips in space.
Git gud hurr.
>>336133424
Yea and I even see it in myself. Like there was this not that strongly hidden secret I missed myself and saw in another video. Then the second ENB missed it my brain was going into negative mode and I immediately hat to tell maself I'm an idiot for expecting him not to miss something. I get the frustration if someone misses something you yourself know about, but people ahve to realize they are completely irrational about it. ENB does a great job for a first timer even.
>>336129919
>PKEK thinks his shitty community wasn't responsible for the death of the series.

>>336133319
>two co-commentators who have played the game beforehand guiding the blind player
Sounds like the worst idea ever. Imagine if you were playing the game while some faggot was sitting next to you and constantly bitching that you went the wrong way and don't play the same way he does.
It's also not a blind playthrough.
>>336133424
>I do admit some of his mistakes are because he didn't pay enough attention but that really happens to anyone and it's much easier to notice when watching someone else play.
Also doing commentary while playing will inevitably take some of your attention away from the game. It's hard to play a game and talk at the same time, even with a relatively slower paced game like Dark Souls.
>>336133547
OH FUCK I NEVER LOOKED AT IT
That's right, I forgot literally everybody in the universe climbs down broken bridges all the fucking time, it should have made sense the moment I saw it
>>336133323
I didn't imply that, only that because this is a blind playthrough, he will miss things, he will over analyze, and he will make mistakes. A lot of shit he is guilty a lot of people would be guilty of as well if they went in blind.
But lets be real, a lot of people are going in semi-blind or not at all. And when a huge portion of ENB's videos have been ones in which he has prior knowledge of, and probably has beaten the game a few times already, people are taking his blind LP with the bias that he'll be just as great as he was in his earlier souls/BB videos
>>336133550
One day anon.
One day.
>>336125204
Well he stood there for a few moments and the popup didn't appear to climb down. it takes a while. Kinda like A German Spy and his fogwall in Firelink. No patience.
>Get DaS3 on launch
>Two other buddies get it, too
>We have fun exploring shit
>One of them is a cheatengine loving wikifag
>Ends up spoiling shit for us because he CAN'T NOT look it up
Also literally the only reason I knew the bridge was a ladder was because I fell off as a Phantom because I was a second too slow, and had to climb my ass back up.
>>336133720
Not that guy, but a prompt pops up like it does for any ladder.
>>336125204
The first time I play DS3 I did a 100% run. Did all the endings at the same time and one shoot everysingle boss.
Why this faggot can do the same, I should be the one making videos and working on guides.
>>336133659
That would be fair enough if the two co-hosts were utter cunts instead of friends who are trying to get the player killed in the most amusing of fashions.
>>336133720
You can see the path at the bottom, and then there's a developer message saying the bridge can break. They couldn't have made it much more obvious.
>>336134005
Fucking develop some empathy. You might be right, but you yourself missed obvious shit in your life. Giving someone shit over something so trivial helps noone.
>watching ENB aka normofag
>not watching based MAN, who has literally beat his own addiction
You guys disgust me.
>>336133815
To be fair the animation has to play out completely for it to appear and it kinda takes a long time.
Like in the last episode enb had they idea that you could climb down but the promt just took to long to appear so he missed it.
>>336130953
I'd blame it on the (very successful) marketing of the game. "You will die, again and again and again!", "Prepare to die!" and all that stuff together with the community's own stuff like "git gud" painted the games in a way that made people think they are the uber-gosus of video gaming for beating it. When in reality.. Souls really isn't thaaat hard as it's often made out to be.
It attracted the scum of the gaming world, the elitists.
>>336134193
man is trash
>>336126898
Apparently his friend can't take it, so he stopped for the time being.
And he obviously won't moderate the comments himself since spoilers are abundant.
>tfw your favourite ecelebs are Funhaus and Sleepycabin, but the former has no drama, and the latter doesnt do shit now, so you can't discuss it on /v!
>>336134313
>Apparently his friend can't take it, so he stopped for the time being.
>can't take it
There so much shit to be found in the comments section? I never really had a proper look.
>>336134386
Reading youtube comments is about as fun as deepthroating a 12 gauge.
>>336134178
Another anon here but the prompt does take a second to appear so it's easier to miss than the other is giving credit for. I almost did but passed by it again shortly after and saw the prompt.
>thought the bridge looked like a trap
>avoided it
>fought off the skeletons with my claymore r2's in the narrow path leading to anri
>did thia for all 3 attempts at wolnir
>didnt realize the bridge was safe or a ladder down until i was summoned and host led me down.
>>336134386
>reading youtube comments
Not even if you paid me.
>>336128770
to be fair he did check the bit where they drop first
it's retarded how the robes don't drop but appear after reloading the area
>>336134463
Every single video on the internet has a top comment with cropped furry porn. Every. Single. Video.
>>336134717
Not music videos.. they are even worse.
You want to know what actually irritated me about this episode more than anything gameplay related?
Him saying Anri in an awful French accent like a cunt and then saying if could see the Japanese version because he knows From it would totally be Le Anri. Get to fuck with that shit, You do not change the pronunciation of a characters name just because you think they did it wrong, I very much doubt the excellent voice actors that work in the Souls series would not ask what version of Anri they wanted.
Its nearly as bad as Gaswang.
>>336134845
How can anyone get mad at something like this.. like why the efffort? please explain.
I'm not trying to mock you I am generally curious.
>>336134970
He's being a pretentious moron. What sort of faggot thinks he knows how a name is pronounced better than the fucking owner of the name? Anri says ANN REEE. That's how it's pronounced in this context.
>>336134845
To be fair japs mispronounce shit all the time
Ever seen any anime where they try to speak German, French, or hell, English?
>>336134970
No one is actually MAD, or really angry, it puts noses out of joint to hear people willing get things wrong and then explaining themselves in the most arrogant fashion.
Add that to internet comment hyperbole.
>>336132112
>because it sounded cool to her
Seriously? Where is this revealed?
DeS faggots need to realise that as the foundation of this community they're directly responsible for how it turns out in the end. You're community wasn't ruined, it evolved naturally from the attitudes and values you lot espoused.
I feel like a big part of the appeal of this series was that it gave the appearance of being esoteric and inaccessible, and I think a lot of the backlash has less to do with how the new community behaves and more to do with the ego damage that's been done to the original fans. They prided themselves on having in depth knowledge of this really difficult, obscure game but when the series took off normal people adapted to it instantly. It's not just that it's not obscure anymore, it's that the illusion that you can appreciate it on a superior level is gone.
>>336135107
>>336135191
Alright, if it's the arrogance I can kinda understand. To be fair I didn't see the video so I can't judge but I can see your point. It still seems somehow not worth the effort to get angry about it..
Then again, I also get angry over the smallest, stupidest shit so I can't really preach.
>Wants to do a completely blind playthrough
>Doesn't accept the early copy even though he know that he'd get more views
>Doesn't accept the early copy even though that'd mean he'd have less exposure to spoilers
>Doesn't accept the early copy to do literally what he's doing right now, but for a bigger profit, safety net.
This is bugging me way more than it should.
>>336135137
Oh of course but we have a series of games using the same talent pool Voice acting studio in the UK. I do not think its all that much of a push to realise that they would more than likely check a hell of a lot of shit when the script comes through.
How do you want us to pronounce this?
>>336135107
Are you OK dude. You sound really upset.
you should sit or take something.
>peoples excuse to watching cancer e-celebs are usually "its fun watching them play"
>people are raging that some e-celeb sucks, not having fun
what are you losers doing with yourselves?
I guess I can use this thread.
So, what is this about. Dlc?
>>336135647
What is what about? It's just a wall
>>336134518
I thought the message was more about if you got a ton of people on it at once, it breaks. It apparently worked when I first tried this, as I lead most of the skeletons on the bridge thinking that'd work. It appeared to work, but then realized when my second attempt failed that I have to attack the bridge and make a run for it. It turned out that in my first go, a skeleton hit the bridge. whoops
>>336135406
The only reason I can think of to do any of that was to play the game at the sametime as a greater audience and discover stuff together like when Demon's and Dark first came out. I don't think he realised it was going to be quite as bad as it turned out to be. Quite as much of a terrible fuck up.
You had so many people playing the JP version just to blast through to the end, having no understand of Japanese they just wanted the game, they could play the game to the end on stream and face no negative consequences, then Peeve did the Xbox One stream for like 14 hours of the full English version and the Wiki got filled out and webms and etc etc everyone is now an expert.
The only problem I have is that the videos are just too short!
>>336135406
If he had you'd be bothered by the fact that he "sold out".
He said in the last podcast he did in knowing he'd make about a quarter of the sum he would make had he taken an early copy.
>>336135234
The Elite Armor Set
>"Armor said to have been given to elite knights of fallen Astora.
The mere mention of Astora invoked wistful pangs, and perhaps it was such a dream that drew Anri to this faraway home known only by name."
>>336132983
M8. M8.
The game, at very key points, leaves messages to you. These messages appear whether online or offline. They are marked with a Crown-like symbol.
There is a message that clearly says "the bridge wears thin" or something like that.
As you cross the bridge, a horde of skeletons comes after you. Like,a ridiculous amount. Anyone with half a working brain can put two and two together.
The only tricky area to get to is Archdragon since it is not immediately obvious how and where to activate the right gesture. That being said, it's sensible enough to figure out. There's a strangely out of place Dragon in the dungeon, the only point in the whole game where it happens. You later get a gesture from a drakeblood doing the same position. You could at least try.
Even then, all of that is easy to discover simoly because people leave messages. It's that easy.
>>336135762
Leave it to namco and their shitty advertising to ruin it.
Giving away the game early is one of the worst things they could have done and only streamers and youtube shitters benefited from it.
I mean how many people watched the streams and decided not to buy it after they saw everything already.
I just don't understand why they would do that.
remember how hard this fag tried to get his own shield design in ds2?
Seriously, fuck all Dark souls e-celebs. All of them.
"noooooo, ________ is a cool streamer"
Fuck you. The only guys I would consider watching are the super best friends because I have met them. And even then Patt is terrible.
Oh fun fact, they CONSTANTLY smoke weed while they are playing, Just letting you guys know if you are retarded and can't hear the audio ques.
>>336133009
Nice keyblade, asshole.
>>336136317
>remember how hard this fag tried to get his own shield design in ds2?
He did and big fucking deal? Why is this even something to get angry at?
>>336135647
Do you have some sort of issue with completely normal looking walls?
>>336136185
Dude it works, is their best and fast selling game so far.
I bet we are going to see more of this tacticts in a near future.
>>336136478
because /v/ has autism
But how can you make a game that captures that sneaky, secretive and mysterious feeling from these games without it being diluted over time by the community?
>>336136317
Uhh, that was another guy that did an ENB shield.
And it was plagiarized and traced.
>>336136317
>he
>implying it wasn't some obsessed viewers forcing it
>>336136185
never EVER work in marketing
>>336136671
endless DLC
>>336136623
>>336136723
The game didn't sell well BECAUSE of the marketing, retard.
It sold well because of the fucking name.
So when are someone gonna set up a support group for LPers gong through these games blind? Because it sounds like each and every one of them doing it are having a fucking nervous breakdown from all the comments they're getting. It's ridiculous. ENB is shutting down comments and moving to a subreddit for comments, and the zaibatsu are most likely gonna dedicate a good chunk of the next dozen podcasts to crying about mean comments on their DS3 playthrough.
>>336136317
>remember how hard this fag tried to get his own shield design in ds2?
Except he didn't? It was some "tribute" and he didn't really appreciate it.
>>336136801
You have no idea how marketing work.
>>336136478
Literally a shill, trying to use his E-celeb influence to rig a developer contest. Thank god he failed or we would have another onlyafro. A Jackass who can just point back to is previous "content" and pretend he's a big dick ass-hole in the souls "community"
>>336136623
It would've been the same anyway minus ruining it for a lot of people. By the point the game was out for everyone there was no point to try and discover anything yourself. No sharing and discussions were needed because you could just watch some video instead or read the wiki.
People were literally robbed of the experience because of some shitheads with a stream.
>>336136974
Except, again, this isn't true.
>>336136819
The TBF should have learned a long ass time ago that blind LPs suck, so they deserve it.
This is ENB's first blind LP being recorded, and probably did it more for his fans than anything, even though. Still, blind LPs almost always are terrible ideas
>>336136832
He didnt like it at all.
>>336136819
https://youtu.be/1vA8hnFbLn4
You'll fucking love this then.
>>336137056
except it is.
Try taking his dick out of your mouth and look at the situation objectively.
whats up with his "Souls is Dead" video, is it just bla bla good old times" ?
>>336137196
He didn't push for the shield nigger. Someone else made it and got his fans to vote for it. He's not connected to the Porcine Shield being in the game. You don't know what you're talking about.
>>336137126
Spy can suck a dick after he chokes down the bukake from the TBF
>>336137196
Okay. I want you to give me objective facts that prove he pushed for the shield to be in the game. Show me how he did it.
>>336136962
I know how fucking marketing works, retard.
Nobody bought this game because it was given to Twitch streamers for free. People bought it because "muh dark souls PREPARE TO DIE XDD so hard" because nobody shuts the fuck up about it.
They got more NEGATIVE press over their stupid shit than positive.
>But there's no such thing as negative press.
Yes there is, retard.
You're a fucking retard.
Don't work in marketing you stupid Spaniard piece of trash.
All you'd do is burn money and think you contributed to sales, when it would've sold well without your meddling.
Fucking KILL yourself.
>>336137280
Its a podcast and its pretty well thought out and explained. Its not boo hoo at all.
>>336137280
Sort of, he doesn't like that there isn't too much mystery left in the game because of all the community being spoiled on it by wikis and promotional videos
>>336137049
Or you just dont watch the videos or wiki.
I didnt and play offline my first time and feel the same than other guys 3 weeks before me.
The marketing was really good since people was crazy for the game 2 weeks before was released.
>>336137126
Holy fuck I hate AGS and the stupid fucking way that he talks.
You're making a videogame commentary video for the internet, not making a statement before the supreme court or something.
Having him drop in on the 2BFP DeS stream to hear his stupid laughter and watch Pat suck his cock nonstop ruined it for me, despite his helpful advice.
>>336137308
>>336137418
Dick in mouth disease.
"garble garble this dick in my mouth tastes so good"
You fags rushing to defend your eceleb god is proof enough..
>>336137554
>The marketing was really good
Literally everyone did nothing but bitch for three weeks. The advertisement videos they made had people bitching because "This isn't Souls, this like fucking CoD mountain dew shit."
>>336137631
aaaaand you've gone off the deep end.
Nice talking to you retard :)
>>336137457
jeah just watched it, i think a a big part of why viewers mostly "behave" in the comment secion is because he just seems like a nice dude and he tries to think before he speaks, in the podcast he just seems like a bid fan of the series trying to explain why he is not going nuts over everything in the game,
-No bullying fo bad english, i tried my best
>>336137631
I only started watching very recently ENB for his blind playthrough, cock lord. It was common fucking knowledge back when DaS2 had this stupid shield contest that it wasn't him. You're just wrong dude.
>>336137427
You don't hate use CAPS to make your POINTS, you DUMB retard.
>>336137604
he's a fedora lord what did you expect?
>>336137554
Of course I don't but that's not what I mean.
Say you found out something cool like a hidden area or something by accident. You can't even go out and share it because it was already discovered a week ago.
You don't have to experiment with anything because at that point it would just be a waste of time.
>>336137631
The guy who made the shield did it without ENB's consent. The guy did it because the winner got a free copy of the game.
He did it to try and fish for FREE VOTES because "Haha, muh ENB shield I'll vote for that :^)" and the guy literally fucking traced it off a google image.
>>336137604
I can kinda see where you are coming from, but I don't have that much hate for AGS.
He just kinda tries to hard. I think he wants to replicate ENBs style of commentary. However ENB has some inborn charisma, which makes you want to listen to him talk about some shit. AGS way to talk feels to forced and natural to feel appealing to me. Seems like an alright guy though.
>>336137784
And plague called him out for owning multiple katanas
>>336137427
What negative press did early streamers create?
The rest of the world isn't /v/ that can watch someone else play a videogame for 10 minutes and declare it shit. The VAST majority of people watching the streams are getting hype for it while doing so, or watching it so that they can play their own game and already know everything about it and feel like a cool guy and get sick gamer cred for beating the super hard game
Most people don't watch that shit and say "Welp, that's that. I have experienced everything this interactive media has to offer me."
>>336136557
Look at the wall again, the weird texture on the wall resembles that of a door.
>>336137752
Stop replying m8. He's either so deranged that he still actually thinks he's right or he's bating you at this point.
>>336133319
I'm still astounded how something SA figured out nearly 9 years ago still alludes these retards: if you're going to play blind, have people there to make fun of the person going in blind. Geop barely made any progress in 48 minutes, but it didn't matter because people were there to guide him, talk Souls, and try to bullshit him into dying. Whereas ENB is just a slog watching someone flail about.
>>336137853
It's a strange day when the furry porn artist is practically the best thing related to SBF
>>336137853
based as always
>>336137812
The two of them did collaborate a bit during the early days of the souls games, but something seemed to have happened and the two never seem to be in contact anymore. Guess Marcus went off to do his own thing, and AGS went off to suck off the TBF
>>336137853
Most of the time in anything he turns up in Spy gets ripped to shreds by Nick from Bitter Bits and Plague. Its wonderful.
>>336137770
CLEARLY I fucking DO, you mouth breathing AUTISTIC fuck.
>>336137859
The negative press of "Hey, this game is already out. Why can't I buy it? Why does this guy get it for free? And why does he get it three weeks before I do?"
The negative press of "Hey, Namco, why are you advertising this shit with fucking KEEP CALM AND DIE-tier shit? This isn't Souls lol."
Even fucking Normalfags got mad about that, retard.
Please, PLEASE fucking kill yourself right now.
>>336137961
Situations change m8. They worked together on the team making at least one of the guides.
>magic requires heavy stat investment to be good, meaning you have to miss out on vigor
>basically all your ring slots are used for magic boosting rings, one of them even making your defense complete shit
>as a result you die in 2 hits and enemies are aggressive as fuck too making slow spells (aka the only good spells) risky
On the plus side this makes spellcasters way more fun than ever since it's not as braindead as in the previous games, but just going pure melee is way more beneficial. And don't even think about bringing magic into pvp.
>>336138185
>meaning you have to miss out on vigor
Vigor softcaps at 27, there's no reason to not get there or close to there, even if you're aiming for just SL80.
>>336137946
>it's a "Pat continues to use a katana in plate mail with a shield and my autism goes into overdrive" episode
>>336137812
Yeah that's pretty spot on. He just sounds like a little kid trying way to hard to sound like a really eloquent and formal adult. I'm sure he's a nice guy with lots of helpful advice to give, I am just personally turned off watching anything with him in it because he's so obnoxious. Same with Vaati. I like some of the content he puts out but it's PAINFUL to watch through because it's so fucking pretentious.
I think part of ENB's charm and the reason for his popularity is that he keeps it real. He comes of as humble and talks like a normal person instead of a self proclaimed "scholar of the Souls community" who thinks that they're presenting a fucking PhD thesis or something.
>>336138084
They both did portions of the guide for Dark Souls 2 and Bloodborne.
Plus at least none of them are Vaati, no matter what or how bad these playthroughs get they still are not Vaati.
>>336137696
Yes but that is what they want. The game is super popular now. Remenber back then when nobody knows what Demon or the first Dark Soul was?
Now everybody can enjoy the game and that is good.
>>336138304
>"So Woolie how does it feel playing a REAL Souls game?"
>"What do you mean? Nothing is really different from the others"
>"...T-There's more..."
>>336138018
>Why does this guy get it for free?
What the fuck are you even talking about? Why would anybody give a shit about that? Nobody cares that reviewers get free review copies of games. People like streamers. People want their favorite streamers to stream this game they want.
cite one single example of riotous uproar over something that nobody cares about
>>336138289
At the end of the game sure, but early to mid game you feel inclined to focus on attunement and intelligence to maximize your potential
>>336138358
>Remenber back then when nobody knows what Demon or the first Dark Soul was?
You mean because it just came out and nobody knew about it because it was made by From "the guys that did the robot game" Software?
It's almost as if people need to actually buy a game and talk about it before people know it exists.
Don't think Bamco's DS3 marketing did anything to help, at all, flat out.
>>336137427
If you can see why you are wrong then is sad.
Im done with you. Talk to the hand.
>>336138425
Woolie acting as though he didn't sound pathetic when his only frame of reference was DS2 and he desperately tried to make comparisons to it whenever Souls was brought up.
>>336138425
>Pat suddenly pretends not to like Bloodborne as soon as DaS3 comes out
What is with this? It's getting on my nerves.
>>336138593
It's gonna be great when they get to the final boss and Pat is super excited about his second phase while the other two are confused.
>>336133815
You have to practically be falling off the ledge to see the prompt.
>>336138586
Go to fucking work, Bamco Marketing Dept.
>>336138494
>Nobody cares.
Clearly people do. Bamco even referenced themselves getting flak and heat on their fucking Twitter.
>>336138694
Are they playing it like in Bloodborne (switch off between 1 character)?
>>336138310
This sounds stupid but Spy is an actual real life fedora, he owns a fedora and has complained that he feels bad when he wears it now.
He has multiple katana's, he has full Japanese tea sets and spends episodes discussing which tea is being drunk and where it comes from and how it was prepared. More than anyone else I have ever come across he is the personification of "enlightened by my own intelligence".
You just selotape that onto the clipped German accent and you have a recipe for disaster. Like theres a video where I think Soulbrandt got invited to America to play DS3 together and Spy took them all to a restaurant expecting a civilized meal and they all ordered shit that they like instead of listening to him.
>>336138793
Pat is glued to the controller. You really think Matt is gonna put himself on the controls in a Dark Souls video? Or Woolie when he's still salty over snailborne?
>>336138643
Hes been hanging out with three people that hate Bloodborne and can pretty well explain why. Hes just copied them basically.
>>336138586
>>Talk to the hand.
fuck off gramps
>>336138798
I do like his tea talk, as it pulls away from him going too fedora tipping
>>336138694
Why do they stand for this?
Why are they letting people who haven't even played DaS sit in for a DaS3 playthrough? I don't even dislike Woolie but it seems absurd not to make him go through at least that much.
>>336138940
I stopped following them after Ride to Hell when I realized I just didn't enjoy them anymore
>>336139046
Woolie is 'saving his playthrough' implying videos. Why Woolie is here for 3 is a mystery to me as well.
>>336139046
They have to hold onto it in case they need views. Who cares if it's mandatory to fully understand and appreciate DS3? Not like they'll figure anything out anyways.
>>336139134
I only have watched them for their Souls game videos since Liam came on because the backlash is always really fucking funny.
Did Woolie really never go back and play DaS 1? All Pat did during the DaS 2 playthrough was talk about how 1 did everything 2 does but better.
>>336138798
Tell me that video exists on youtube.
>>336139275
>Now Woolie, you wouldn't know this because you didn't play Dark Souls but...
It's the motto for the LP.
>>336134193
Gb2 PCMUSTARDFAG on le leddut, nigger
>>336139032
The fucking one episode of Tea Talk where you can see hes wearing a fucking dressing gown.
Too good.
>>336139467
I think there are better catchphrases that came up during that playthrough, you know what I mean?
>>336138798
Man this sounds so sad. It really makes me embarassed for him and I hate that fucking feeling. I am just way to sensitive about this shit. Everytime someone cracks a horrible joke I kinda always wanna save them from their horrible situation and it feels like fucking work everytime.
>>336139654
Oh boy!
>>336139654
>Pat randomly saying drop your shield silently at the end of a sentence
>"I am the shadow, ones true self. You know what I mean?"

That shit was too good

Why nobody talks about Lobos Jr.
He is really cool.

Look at that cast iron tea pot. I love introducing people to Spy and getting reactions like this:

>>336140158
I'm sorry/not sorry, you can imagine how his Persona 4 LP is.
>>336140467

I can't.
I don't want to.
I won't let my mind wander that deep down the 'tism rabbit hole.

I watched ENB for years now and his other playthroughs besides souls too, I'm not really watching him because of the actual games anymore, it's more like a podcast

It's called lazyness. There're tons and tons of litreally untextured polygons in the enviroments

You can erase either German Spy's or Vaati's channel, who do you choose?
>>336141171
Vaati, because I still like some of AGS's old vids
>>336141171
Spy.
Vaati doesn't spam as much as Spy.
>>336141171
Vaati, Spy is a constant source of entertainment for me.
>>336141171
Vaati.
Always Vaati. I'd remove Vaati over PewDiePie. I'd remove Vaati over fucking DSP.

Vaatis no question. It's not even that I don't like vaatis videos. I just can't make fun of them Like Spys shit. So Vaati would have to go.
>>336136150
>There is a message that clearly says "the bridge wears thin" or something like that.
>As you cross the bridge, a horde of skeletons comes after you. Like,a ridiculous amount.
Yeah, I saw the message
To me it's just saying that the bridge is a trap.
The first time I actually tried doing what you say, just for fun. I took the bridge, but it broke and I fell to my death.
Then I realized there was a path that took me right on the other side of the bridge. I assumed the bridge was just a trap and moved on.
Are you telling me you can actually cross that bridge, and that I fell down because the skeletons cut the rope trying to hit me?
>>336141171
Spy, I've never seen what was particular vile about Vaati. The worst things people have lobbied over him is that he sounds pretentious, which is pretty much restricted to the Prepare to Cry videos, and that he steals lore, which pretty much everybody who is a lorefag does. Go into a lore thread here and it's going to be a bunch of people reiterating shit they've read from other people, it's how the community tries to eventually piece the puzzle together.
>>336141171
Vaati, I hate his pseudo-ASMR vioce.
Also he is a sellout fuck.
>>336141171
Vaati. Some of his old playthroughs are actually quite good unless you just hate him as a person. His DS3 run is weird though, he doesn't really seem to enjoy it and mostly hates on every reference, pretty much the opposite of ENBs run
>>336141171
Vaati, his fairy tales are being taken as actual, factual lore of the games, when all he does is tell fancy stories. Which isn't even much of a problem and he has a soothing voice, but his influence on the community is actually toxic.
>>336141171
Spy is untalented, unfunny and unskilled. But at least his channel isn't based on stealing other people's shit and shilling.
>>336141047
Half the point of cast iron pots is that the insides soak up the flavor of what you put in it. If you put vanilla tea in it on a regular basis everything you drink out of there will taste like vanilla after a while. This gets really bad if you put in all different kinds of flavors it will become a big mish mash of conflicting flavors. Ideally you only use the same style of tea, and preferably pure, for that particular pot. It's just wrong unless that is a dedicated vanilla black tea pot.
>>336141550
That picture sums up Vaati perfectly.
>>336141636
Alright. Thanks man.
>>336141474
Gotta say I am with you on this one. I never got the Hate on Vaati. I mean his videos are obviously clickbait money makers. But I just can't fault him for that. If I was in his position I would ride the Souls Train for my income just as hard. Otherwise I don't even really think that he sounds pretentious. Atleast not aggressively.
>>336141453
Hit the rope as you're about to reach the other side and get off, it takes a few seconds for it to fall.
>>336140889
Same, I like the sound of his voice. those videos where he was doing challenge runs of Bloodborne and just talking about his life were really cozy to listen to.
Noone should've expected a perfect playthrough anyway. Wait for his second or third LP after he played it for 500 hours, if he even wants to play it any more, maybe he won't like it too much inthe end, but all the references and DS1 dicksucking seems to work
>>336141940
There's is a noticeable difference between a "perfect playthrough," which no-one expected, and a half competent playthrough where he doesn't miss a ton of shit and takes 5 episodes or so just to find a dead body, which anyone with standards should expect.
>>336141171
Vaati. Fuck that monotone, credit stealing manlet.
>>336142136
Vaati is attractive so to me he can do whatever he wants.
>>336140081
He's kinda odd at times, at least hes not a drooling idiot even when playing blind.
>>336142129
He's too focused on puzzling together the throwbacks to DS1 and talking at the same time probably doesn't help either. Can't wait until he he sees the Stormruler, he will probably love it and Spy will hate it
>>336142367
I haven't watched AGS for his DS3 playthrough, but if it was anything like his Dark1 replaythrough and BB, it'll be nothing but trashing Dark 3 with a follow-up with "at least it's not dark souls 2"
Is this correct?
>>336142810
Not entiirely, he says those throwbacks are okay as long as they're not blind fanservice but instead explained in the story.
But every third sentence seems to contain "really irritates me".
>>336142810
Right now hes sperging like fuck about having to put a single point of Dex into his build when he wanted to go pure Str and nothing else. The min/maxing little shit.
>>336142810
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVsyf1GZ7BI
Just watch this episode. pretty much sums up the LP up until now
>>336143187
46 minutes of AGS. Thoughst be kidding?
>>336142987
Spy sounds so annoyed all the time. Like he's in a bad mood constantly and nothing impresses him. Then again I've only quickly checked through a few episodes where he dicks around in the high wall of Lothric. But it really sounds like he's not having a good time.
>>336143184
That's pretty much the worst thing about his playthrough, like fuck. It's one or two points, the points he'd waist into STR to weild a worse STR weapon, he could easily put into DEX. Why does he even care so much it's his first playthrough, not a challenge run
>>336143184
I especially liked how he went over the weapons and complained over the ones needing Dex but completely ignoring the ones that don't, like the Mace. Big surprise, little man, swords require some finesse on the user. Want to go pure "me no think me stupid Hulk smash!", you use a hammer or an axe, not a sword.
>>336143280
Ok, then skip to the point after the bossfight and watch from there and add I DON'T WANT TO LEVEL UP DEX
>>336142810
He's still in the High Wall, which he's seen already.
>>336143345
>>336143347
The way it was explained by the guy from Bitter Bits is that Spy plays at the lowest level he possibly can and only levels up when he is forced to do so more or less. So he chooses his class based around what he was going to do in the game, which was two hand pure Str weapons.
Having to waste a single point of his precious level ups is putting him on tilt, and hes not even considering any of the actual Str weapons because really all he wants in the FUGS or even just the Great Sword.
It legit took me a minute to figure out what you faggots where talking about until I realized youa re talking about a fucking Let's Player
>>336143615
Then he should've picked deprived
>>336143634
Best Souls thread that's up right now
>>336143704
Deprived is terribly for specialized builds, you'll end up with at least one stat that's more than you want it to be. A straight up barbarian warrior doesn't need 10 INT, for example.
>>336143615
I think Spy is too hung up on level 1 runs in Demons and Dark1
>>336143280
>think this means 46 minutes of astora greatsword

>>336144401
Why?
>>336144459
I respect opinions, I don't respect baseless claims.
>>336144459
probably because he's a pc fag and never actually knew the fanbase before das pc and doesnt want to feel like he's cancer
>Not watching the better DS3 Blind Playthrough
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDIomdvOhD8
>>336144560
It definitely changed around that time time, it wasn't perfect before that and it's BECAUSE of the PC release, it's just happened around that time. Dark Souls became popular as fuck and the community became worse and worse
>>336133058
The problem is not him doing it blind. The problem is that he is a very experienced gamer, in particular when it comes to Souls games and he acts like a total fucking idiot.
I've only played DS1 and 3 and I haven't had half the trouble he does.
>>336144560
Anyone that has been here since the demon's souls thread knows it's true.
>That playthrough of DaS 1 he did last year or the one before where he pretended he was going through it blind.

>>336145359
kek
>>336144235
I like to parry...
>>336140467
He is wearing a bathrobe mate, not a gown.
>>336145997
Do you exclusively parry even when there's a better, more efficient solution available to you against an enemy that's going to take three hits to kill?
>>336146047
what's the difference?
>>336145402
I'm listening anon
>What's up y'all, it's Marcus...
>>336146128
Because it's much more fun to parry than dodge R1, R1, R1 for almost every enemy.
>>336146291
Glad there are good listeners around.
>>336146128
You will never actually work out parry timings doing anything other than trying to actually parry shit. So you do it constantly in order to get better at it.
>>336145402
I actually have alot of problems but this is not the point of this thread. The point is some dude acting like a complete idiot all of a sudden, in a field where he should know better.
It's as if he has hit his head on a wall or something and turned into a different person.
>>336133547
>>sees ds2 reference
>>either doesn't recognize it at all because he never played the Crowns
>>or just mumbles "from dark souls 2..." and moves on
this is how it should be
>>336125204
Give that guy a break. He assumed you could break the bridge. He just missed the button prompt.
Which kinda makes me wonder. He was indeed in the spot needed for the prompt to appear but prompt appeared
I personally never got the appeal of doing a completely blind play-through for a souls game. I want to be able to appreciate all that the game has to offer from both a lore and gameplay perspective, and I can't do that if I miss shit. I also like going in prepared so I don't fuck up my stats or waste resources on a weapon that seems cool but is actually trash (like ENB almost did for Wolnir's sword). I suppose you could argue that's what multiple play-throughs are for, but sadly I don't have as much time to devote to video games as I used to.
The only thing you're actually missing out on is a first time reaction while playing the game, but it's not like it diminished the impact of a reveal once I got to it in-game just because I spoiled myself earlier. If you wanna do a blind run because "that's how you're supposed to play a souls game", then more power to ya. Just don't be surprised if you end up lost, confused, under-powered, of have a bunch of kids yelling at you in the comments section of your YouTube videos.
>>336147128
The "fans" always want blind playthroughs for some reason and then criticize it if it's not how they imagined it. Happens with a lot of other LPs too.
Don't know why the LPers actually do it though
>>336146959
It looked like the prompt was pretty delayed, so I don't want to give him too much flack, other than to tell him to revisit the bridge and be a little more slow and patient about it.
He was probably about a second off before the prompt would appear.
His new podcast is too true. Those games are nothing without a good community and everything past the original DS release just got worse and worse
>>336147845
Yeah, just like with AGS and the Firelink fog gate. They just need some patience.
>>336147128
>I want to be able to appreciate all that the game has to offer from both a lore and gameplay perspective
And you can't do that by following a guide, you're cheapening the experience that way. The game is meant to surprise and confound at times and give you a challenge you're not expecting. Going to Archdragon Peak and fighting the Nameless King is fun, but it's /finding/ Archdragon Peak and the Nameless King that's really special
Oh boy, Spy's new video is up.
>>336147128
>I want to be able to appreciate all that the game has to offer from both a lore and gameplay perspective
That's what repeated playthroughs are for. Only the first and maybe the second are usually kept "pure."
>I don't fuck up my stats or waste resources on a weapon that seems cool but is actually trash
Pretty much none of the weapons are bad enough to prevent you from beating the game and it takes a seriously fucking retarded person to fuck up the stats. You're just a casual who wants the best of the best, along with some handholding.
>it's not like it diminished the impact of a reveal
Good for you. Other people don't like getting spoilt. And I can imagine that holds true especially for the people who are huge fans and are heavily invested in the lore.
>>336148769
And didn't take him two minutes to complain about swords requiring Dex again!
>>336137126
>I want to go pure strength build
>I'm a min/maxer
>I don't want to put the MINIMUM points required into dex to use this QUALITY BUILD weapon
>all greatswords must be pure strength with no dex requirements
>I should never EVER have to increase my dex from its base of 9 if I don't WANT to for my build
he's going to be so fucking butthurt when he has to put the 1 point into dex to use the fume greatsword isn't he
>>336148769
>oh interesting
>oh that's a pain
>oh that's irritating
>oh come on fromsoft
>oh come on is that [insert reference]?!
>oh of course it requires dex
>>336148824
>Other people don't like getting spoilt
Man, I don't think meetingGwyndolinlike that would've been as powerful as it was, if I had known it was coming. That's why my first playthrough is blind and then on the second, I look stuff up to do things I missed or things you can't figure out without guides, like the terrible NPC interactions this time around.
>>336148769
Why do people watch this salty motherfucker?
>>336149145
I agree with this, but on the other hand I looked up what was meant to happen with the Anri playthrough once they got to the chapel.
Apparently theres a statue thats really an enemy that you are meant to know is in there, and its timed from when Anri first appears. If you don't catch them, thats it your fucked get out.
Without looking that shit up how would you ever even begin to work that out? How did the people that put it on the wiki or whatever figure that shit out?
>>336125204
Why a pig?
>>336149552
Yeah and if you didn't do the stuff with Yeol the pilgrim isn't even there but Anri still ends up inDarkmoon Tomb. The NPCs are pretty terrible, sadly.
>>336149552
I didn't even do yoels quest and that corner was flooded with messages about a spy or assassin
>>336150328
>playing online, aka 'easy', mode.
>>336149552
>How did the people that put it on the wiki or whatever figure that shit out?
There's an official guide.
>The NPCs are pretty terrible, sadly.
Basically the same as DS1. Maybe slightly better. Completing Siegmeyer's or Solaire's quests the first time around was really improbable.
I ended up finishing Yoel/Yuria/Anri and Siegward quests on my first run in this game. Missed Sirris unfortunately.
>hurr go back to this area where you fought a boss 15 hours ago and you will find her there
Yeah, fuck off.
>>336150505
I play online, but on my first playthrough i never summon nor read messages, how about that?
Is that good enough to be part of the elite?
>>336138759
If he can spend more than 15 minutes just wandering around Firelink, he can spend 10 more seconds on examining the fucking bridge.
>>336149036
And he will also be super salty he'll be required to level up to get enough strength to even use the Fume Greatsword. Also, wait for his inevitable assblast when he sees Not!Tarkus use the Fume Greatsword.
>>336150640
Theres still going to be masses of clusters of messages around Invis walls, and revealing secrets. So you don't need to read them in order to get completely spoiled.
>>336150557
For all of the shit people give Dark 2, I will say they did handle NPCs (generally) better than the other games. Only part that I didn't like was the requirement to summon Lucatile and Benhart to complete their quests, but at least their progression was a LOT more logical and bearable due to appearing relatively the same path you also go, instead of this backtrack nonsense.
>>336150557
>hurr go back to this area where you fought a boss 15 hours ago and you will find her there
She actually leaves an item with the Shrine Handmaiden that tells you where she is going. It's a budding green blossom for 10 souls I think, really sticks out.
>>336151529
>they did handle NPC better than the other games
Triggered. Even Bloodborne had better NPC interactions.
>>336131843
It started when Pcuck cunts like OnlyAfro started doing le EPIKK XDDD DUBSTEP GIT GUD DAD XDDD videos that spilled in and poisoned the community.
>>336150557
Fuck SIRRIS FUCK HER AND FUCK HER
I'm only going to get the all of the gestures in NG+3 because of this stupid cunt.
>>336151397
Sorry, i'll play it the right way next time
>>336151529
Most NPCs in DS2 were either
>random summon that never shows up again
or
>NPC you save and now sits in Majula forever and never has anything new to say
>>336151842
Was limiting it to only Dark Souls, but yeah, BB did NPC interactions much better as well
>>336148769
Man does he really play every new souls game like that ?
Cheese every normal enemy and stay as far away from them as possible
>>336152312
Pretty much.
>>336152143
>Save blacksmith's daughter
>He says like one sentence on it how she's forgotten how he looks
>That's it
>Nothing else happens
Still mad
>>336125204
Said Manus was hardest boss in dlc. Literally is easier than the chimera, which wrecked me
Said great sight was best weapon in game, with highest DPS. Great scythe was slower than lifehunt scyth and had less dps.
This guy is an absolute dumbfuck.
All is advice is retarded.
Why is he a dark souls "expert"?
>>336152881
Difficulty is subjective silly anon.
He never had difficulty with Chimera as far as I remember, and desu once you've seen his pattern he's piss easy.
>>336152448
You didn't even really save her, you just found her wandering around and told her it is probably best to go to Majula.
The smith is just happy his daughter is back within eye distance, while his daughter thinks he's some creeper. Especially funny, since Chloanne isn't hollowed, but is losing her memories, while the smith is clearly hollowed but maintains his mind in a sound fashion.
>>336152881
Then i guess you're the expert
>>336151529
I kind of disagree. I liked Lucatiel but all of the others were either just really bland and uninteresting or borderline nonexistent.
Nothing really came of Vengarl even though that had the potential to be good.
That talking scorpion was very short and very basic as well.
Creighton got fucked by Pate and now he wants to kill him. Okay I guess. Super interesting.
None of the Majula NPCs offer anything of worth.
That guy who was just Mestiphopheles and wanted you to murder Majula merchants was nowhere near as awesome as it was in Demon's Souls.
Not the story, not the personalities and not the way you complete these was interesting to me in any way.
>>336152881
He was the hardest boss for him, but every person has other bosses that they have problems with.
If you don't like him and already know everything why are you even watching his videos?
>>336151257
what, is he doing a fucking no level up run for his first fucking run through the game? Why is he bitching about needing to put stats into weapon requirements then?
>>336128664
>implying its blind
the man wrote the dark souls 2 strategy guide, it's not blind, he already knows everything about the entire game and is faking the blind playthrough
>>336153313
You're retarded
>>336153294
Spy has a huge thing of being as low level as possible for reasons. It's one thing to be within pvp range or something like that, but he'd perma stick himself at level 10, at most, if he could with every souls game
>>336153313
What am I reading
>>336153057
Still how can you call Manus the hardest when there is Kalameet?
>>336153452
then why complain weapons have stat requirements if it's a moot point either way? what a fucking autist
>>336153313
???
>>336153291
I'm not. I watched 2 of his videos for advice, till I realized the guy knew less than me as a new player.
>>336153181
Navlaan was kinda interesting though. He wasn't just Mephistopheles, because unlike Mephisto you could figure out an item to buy from the NPCs that allows you to complete his quests without killing them.
>>336153602
I didn't, it just so happens Kalameet is the one I find hardest too. Again, difficulty is subjective, one of my friends fucking destroyed him first time, I was pretty pissed.
>>336153313
What the fuck are you doing?
>>336152143
>NPC you save and now sits in Majula forever and never has anything new to say
What about DaS 3 then?
If you don't give the Fire Keeper the First FK's soul or the eyes from the Untended Graves area, you barely get any new dialogue, unless it's related to the ending.
Greirat only has new dialogue when you send him to pillage.
Even then, after that's done he revers to "You can keep the ring."
I have a theory that poise can be turned on through some combination of stats.
I'm going to try maxing vitality and luck
>>336153810
I dont mean you you, I mean how EPNB called Manus the hardest boss in the game (stating it like a fact) when there's Kalameet. I don't think he even fough kalameet at that point or was awae of his existence. Yet all his videos did pretend like he was a "expert" player.
>>336154064
the entry in the code is literally set to 0 when it should be set to 1. No amount of stats will give you poise.
>>336154064
Good luck!
>>336150640
Just pulling your leg, Anon.It was a joke
>>336154021
I never said DS3 is any better, but you said other games.
DeS and DS1 had pretty good NPC quests though they come and go and show up when you least expect it
>>336153643
This is a german weeb, who may as well just be an USA east coast austist, that works as one of the lowest levels in the german intelligence with no aspirations to do climb the ladder or better himself in any meaningful way.

>>336151257
I wonder if he'll be platinum mad when he realizes that he needs Int to bring that sorcery guy back to Firelink or miss out on his conversations.
>>336154218
I don't know what to take serious anymore on this board
>>336154120

>>336154369
>mfw this will happen
>>336154158
Yeah but that doesn't mean there isn't some condition that won't cause it to change to a 1. The people who discovered that won't release any code because they don't want to get From on their asses.
>>336154264
Whoops, sorry, I should have clarified when I quoted you, but I'm not the fellow with whom you've been arguing and I said no such thing.
>>336154198
I know it's probably a retarded idea, but I wanted to do a luck build with poison/bleed weapons.
>>336154120
>Kalameet is hardest boss
Fucking coward i bet you never foughtKalameet's tail.
>>336154531
I don't want to shit on DS2 either, but the NPC quest just were not that great.
Same with DS3 to an extend. The whole Yuria and Anri quest was really good, but way too easy to miss. And the Siegward quest seems way too random
>>336154492
Wtf none of that makes any sense?
Are you one of his retarded subscribers defending him cause you relate so well with him intellectually?
>>336154326
EXPLAIN!
>>336154021
As far as the "home" area is concerned
In 1 you have Logan, Laurentius, Patches, Petrus, Anastacia and Lautrec
In 3 you have Greirat, Patches, Hawkwood, Sirris, Yoel and Yuria
with some form of quest or interesting status change that you can affect with your choices.
In 2 you have... yeah.
Not every NPC needs some elaborate questline. In DS2 nobody in Majula had anything interesting to offer though.
>>336138185
>And don't even think about bringing magic into pvp.
Unless you have backup, or are invading a clueless fucker. You can take off over 60% health with most spells, up to 110% with others. The rolling game will fuck up anybody, so going straight up 1v1 with spells is usually pants on head retarded.
>>336154120
But Kalameet really isn't hard. Just run at him.
>>336155171
Yeah relatively speaking he's still the hardest or second hardest boss, depending on whether you think OS is harder
>>336144838
I never had a PS3 and bought dark souls based entirely on the quality of the Demon's Souls threads. I'm so bummed I missed the train
>>336154786
I don't think DaS 3 will top Aldia though.
Nothing could.
>>336154961
The point is that difficulty is subjective. I do not think Kalameet is harder than Manus. I lost to Artorias more than that dragon as well. Both of those other bosses have long string moves and would get me, I found Kalameet much easier to read.

>>336155336
I admit Aldia was great, too bad he was only added that late into the games life cycle and people just blindly hate everything about DS2 so he'll never show up in DS3
>>336155320
I'm a bit sad for you. But be thankfull, DS still had a decent community and some mystery to it.
>>336155336
Aldia is shit. Besides just blatantly spelling out the plot for you in info dumps, it all led to one of the worst boss fights in the series.
>>336155441
>Fucked up Patches, Siegward, Greirat, Anri and Sirris' questlines
These quest lines are obscure as shit. I do not know how you can be upset at someone for missing this cryptic shit.
>Summoned for Abyss Watchers
This is a tough one because for all he knows it could be like 2 and you need to summon the NPC for certain fights to get to the end of their quest.
Sure on all of the other stuff.
>>336155336
I played DS2 but I don't remember shit about him/her. Maybe he was Vendrick's relative? The keep is where you fight Aslatiel and there's experiments and a dragon cult or something. That's about all I have. What's so good?

Magic pvp is basically using the obscuring ring + soul stream. Otherwise, most spells are super easy to dodge and take a long time to cast, even with the Sage Ring. Even a good portion of bosses work similarly.
Only way to be very successful as a mage is to have someone else be a distraction. Dropped magic, went quality, and I'm enjoying it so much more (not the dark sword)
>>336155441
>>Fucked up Patches, Siegward, Greirat, Anri and Sirris' questlines
They are literally impossible to do when you don't play with a guide open. How the fuck are you supposed to know to go back out the Cleansing Chapel andtalk to the wellto continue Siegward's line? And then how are you supposed to figure out to go into the tower in Firelink again for Patches to show up so you can buy the armor?
Like.. why would anyone go back in these areas after having cleared them?

>>336155354
in b4 "lmao baited" "trolled" etc. ENB worked with FROMsoft to release the official dark souls 2 strategy guide before the game released. this is easily googlable. Ergo, it stands to reason that he did the same thing with the dark souls 3 guide, and already knew the entire game in and out before it released.
>>336155931
>cryptic shit
When you go into the tower, you hear the door closing. You can turn around and see Patches. But even if you don't it's just a matter of actually exploring Firelink a little bit and seeing him around.
>>336155336
>le Aldia is great meme
Fuck off, I'm tired of people claiming that he's the pinnacle of Souls characters when he's a plot dump added in the game's DLC version.
>>336156172
ENB did not work on the guide and refused an early copy for Dark3, unless you have evidence to back up he did those things.
>>336156172
He stated multiple times that he didn't work on DS3 guide and went on fucking media blackout once the early copies were distributed.
>>336156172
What's also "easily googleable" is that he's stated time and time again he has no input on the DS3 guide, and in fact kept himself from looking at anything related to the game so that he could go into it blind when it was released in the West.
>>336156172
You're not even the guy that wrote that retardation.
>>336156172
The differences being that he made the guide for II and didn't play blindly, while he didn't make the guide for III and is playing blind.
>>336156172
Well, i take his word that he didn't. And the guide isn't even by future press this time and Spy didn't work on it either. And it seems lke the guide is all kinds of fucked up
ENB didn't even play the network test
>>336155340
>MUH everything is relative. MUH.
No but there is general consensus. And most people agree Kalameet is the hardest boss in DLC.
>>336156538
>kalameet
>hard
lmao, maybe if you are too stupid to have gough shoot him down for you and you try to shoot arrows or magic at him as he flies overhead burning your ass
>>336156538
No they don't. Show me where a consensus was met, nobody cares about your anecdotal evidence of "I promise guys, this is what people think".
>>336156136
I got it on my first blind run. I checked the well for hidden items and it started talking. Then Patches triggered the trap while wearing his armor. I already killed the giant by that time so I just had to go back up top to confront him and I could buy it. I didn't have to go back to Firelink at all. He stayed in the Cathedral near Rosaria's room.
>>336156198
He only shows up when you hit the cathedral of the deep. If you went up to the tower and explored it all already, there is no reason to go explore it all over again. They messed this shit up, he should have shown up the first time you go there. Hell if he even left some random note near the bonfire that said come to the tower it would have been even more amazing. However, you just have to randomly decide to go back to a place where you hardly got anything from the first time you went.
>>336155945
Yeah, he wasn't in the game from the start. He was only ever added in the final patch/SotFS edition. There's a shitton of dialogue with him.
Look it up on Youtube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHV6yuZLMR4
>>336156538
No one cares what most people think. It has nothing to do with what is actually hard for you faggot.
>>336133735
It was not time, but his angle was wrong.
Wondered why the prompt didn't appear and when he fell I noticed that he was slightly on the side and had approached the edge on an angle.
>>336156650
Nigga if you gonna call him easy, then there are no hard bosses in the game. On a ranking he's still 1 or 2.
>gitgurorgetrekt, I'm so good, DS is easiest game ever, got 500+ hours in all games. When will I get a girlfriend ? :(
>>336156769
The key being an ass-ton of souls for the early game isn't enough indication that you're probably expected to go there later on?
>>336156774
>He was only ever added in the final patch/SotFS edition
Oh so that's why. I didn't touch any of the DLC or the re-release and he seemed like a relatively minor lore tidbit in the original so I was confused about the praise.
>>336155441
>What is a blind playthrough?
And regarding the summoning you can blame DS2 quest progression for that one.
You're right about the elevator though, makes even less sense since he keep backtracking for thumbnails and such.
>>336156708
I guess I jinxed that part by having gotten to that part via the rafters, breaking the interaction line.
>>336152448
It was painful to go there after hearing the blacksmith's comments. To be so close to your daughter but never further away.
>>336156995
>What is a blind playthrough
I didn't realize a requisite of playing the game blind was missing everything. I guess I was playing the game wrong by actually combing the environment and finding shit.
>>336156696
Google some top 10 shit. Talk to other people who played the game. Just cause you have no friend and don't know how to interact with humans doesn't mean they didn't form a general opinion you drooling lifeless idiot.
Next you're gonna say there's no consensus Hitler was bad, because its all subjective opinion.
>>336156879
>No one cares what most people think.
I also wouldn't care about the opinions of other people if most people didn't like me
>>336140081
because he has no drama at all. his playthrough was objectively the best so far though.
>>336156979
>When will I get a girlfriend ? :(
do you think anyone on 4chan outside of /r9k/ and /soc/ cares about having a girlfriend?i'm 31 and have been a wizard for a while now. Life is great, I can play vidya all day every day.
>>336156981
No, please tell me why that would be something you would expect?
>>336157490
It's actually sad most guys nowadays think like that. What has become of our species?
>>336156981
>It cost a lot so I should go back once I hit a certain point
>>336156981
How is 20k a lot?
That's like 2-3 bosses excluding all the souls you get from the mobs along the way.
>>336157628
Because the game isn't tuned around you having 20000 souls to spare at the very beginning of the game when bosses are giving you like 3000, unless you just make a beeline for the key like ENB did.
>>336157673
personally, i don't want a relationship because i can just jack off to fulfill that need, and i like the freedom of being able to do what i want, when i want, without someone constantly nagging me expecting me to do things with them, while they ignore the fact that sometimes i want my alone time.yes, even women my age do that, they still act like high school girls.
>>336158016
I had the key long before patches was triggered. There was no reason not to have him show up on the first time you enter the area. Its not like he actually sells anything that matters. The quest is obscure to fuck you
Why are you guys watching Dark Souls 3 let's plays?
You do realize it's only going to make you mad, right? Do you guys live for this sort of thing, or what?
>>336128842
>Pat thinks it's Siegmeyer even AFTER Siegward tells him his fucking name
The level souls scaling is kinda fucked up. After lv 80 you get like only 2 levels from bosses that give 80k souls. level 120 would take hours of grinding
I've just found the playthrough funny. Dying to Crystal Sages, summoning for Abyss Watchers, dying to the Deacons, the bridge nonsense - it's all been pretty hilarious though a little embarrassing, as a blind playthrough tends to be.
>>336158567
I am a masochistic little shit and my bf doesn't hit me anymore, so Spy's playthrough is a nice substitute. And I watch ENB because he's chill.
>>336158591
They talk so much I doubt they even heard his name. Also, he has not played DS is probably 3 years, who would even remember the small difference between Siegmeyer and Siegward. Shit off the top of my head right now I don't remember which is in DS3 and I only played it 2 weeks ago.
>>336158591
It's almost like Pat never played Dark Souls, but just watched a LP of it
>>336158591
Pat literally never pays attention. He reads every fucking item description like he's the next Vaati just to forget about it as soon as he finished reading it and lalways tries to act excited.
I can already tell you when the playthrough has cought up with the new ENB podcast and Spys videos he'll suddenly be a lot harsher to DS3
>>336158591
I already beat the game 6 times. I do not feel like playing it myself anymore.
>>336158872
You have the memory of a goldfish then, sorry to tell you.
>>336157141
>le hitler meme

>>336159231
Or DS3 is bland
>>336159543
>ds3 is bland
>>336159543
It isn't a matter of whether it's bland or not. Even a retard could remember two character names and be able to differentiate them from one another.
>>336159660
It could definitely be a lot more original, it tried way too hard to throw in as many DS1 references or DeS throwbacks as possible and sometimes relied too hard on that
>>336159845
Not really, it was the same guy. Also, I am not a retarded lore fag so I move on as soon as some character tells me his or her name.
>>336157673
>What has become of our species?
We gave women rights and now they think they're our equals.
inb4 /r9k/I'm married and have kids.
>>336160182
i can agree with that, but i dont think that makes it "bland" just poorly inspired i guess? though i dont mind any of the references i have seen so far, just got to the boreal valley.the fair lady's corpse in smouldering lake which is basically demon ruins + lost izalith was pretty sweet, also the dead giants behind the ballista. then who was ballista?
>>336160879
I didn't really mind them either, i just expected a little more from, what may be, the last souls game
>>336161005
The 5s have intensified to the point where we may not be able to contain them.
>>336132605
pretty much this.
>>336133319
>Geop
I legitimately can't stand him or his tranny entourage and their unfunny jokes.
It's a shame because /v/'s Demon's Souls threads were amazing back in the day. I didn't even start playing the series until the first of the Dark Souls 2 DLC's got released, but i'd always lurked the threads because they were just so entertaining. Those MSpaint comics and screenshot comics were hilarious and there wasn't any kind of elitism or shitposting. Just fun times and friendliness.
I personally didn't notice a huge change even when PC users got Prepare to Die Edition. The announcement and triple thread stickies for Dark Souls 2 were legendary. Nothing really turned sour until the Downgrade happened and everyone got insanely butthurt at DS2 and turned against it.
>>336161615
I can feel them exploding out of me
>>336138759
>tfw you actually fall off the edge waiting for the prompt, because it should have shown up by now, what the fuck
That was an annoying death.
>>336137936
It's like there is like different ways of doing things with different pros and cons and different people with different preferences.
I did like Geop's DS 1 run and I'll check the DS 2 one out too, but having backseat drivers is hugely different from a truly blind play-through.
>>336132983
To be honest, i'm 7 playthroughs deep and never once realized you could use it as a ladder. The prompt never came up for me. I still found Smouldering Lake on my first time because I found out you could ride the cut bridge like a surfboard from just past the halfway point and it'll get you on the ledge safely.
>>336135647
>he didn't use the stone of pharros to open it
>>336125441
First time I played through the game, I figured that the bridge was just a death trap and never touched it. I didn't know about Smouldering Lake until I looked it up. Give him a break.
>Kay still hasn't played Bloodborne and isn't playing DaS3
>Even though she has the absolute fucking best Blind playthroughs of DeS, DaS and DaS2.
DAMMIT WOMAN
>>336163378
Literally who?
People give ENB shit for being so blind, but I'm pretty sure that he figured out that Irithyll is Anor Londo just from the first vista.
Something that some people who go in fucking lore threads to talk about the fucking lore don't get.
>>336128779
You're a fucking idiot.
At what point in the previous video did he say "Oh I guess I can cut the bridge down"? Oh, he didn't? You're just fucking retarded?
>>336163917
>At what point in the previous video did he say "Oh I guess I can cut the bridge down"?
I am talking about the video from today, you stupid fucking cunt.
I even mention it in the OP.
>>336125204
I did that, I assumed you couldn't use it as a ladder because you need to wait like two seconds after it visibly stops moving before the prompt appears.
>>336141829
>obviously clickbait money makers
>ride the Souls Train for my income just as hard
Now, I'm not saying anything about you, but this is repugnant to a lot of people. Possibly because they think hating it will make them seem morally superior, or because they would never do it themselves, or for some other reason at that.
But those things you said are reason enough for many, many people to discount someone. I'll watch one or two of his videos on occasion, but I would never Subscribe to him.
>>336163804
I guarantee you that he's thinking Irithyll might be Yharnam. Hence why he seemed so pensive about it when talking about it.
Afro is the only Souls celeb that still makes entertaining videosAlthough now that the Dumb Shits guide is back, that's becoming essential viewing again.
>>336164665
But that would be retarded.
>>336129919
Bandi Namco fucking killed the souls community, fuck what anyone else says. Prepare to Die was a fucking mistake.
>>336164754
People were thinking it when the game first came out (and retards are still trying to make the connection). And ENB has posited some stupid shit in the playthrough so far.
>>336164665
He was eyeing the buttress' in particular though.
>>336164665
Nah, he mentioned Gwyndolin and I'd hope that he first looks for Dark Soulses for connections.
He hopefully will be more vocal about his thoughts of the place after he gets there. Which might take a while if he goes running around demon fun town.
