My first ever FromSoft game was DS3 and that took me around 70 hours to complete. Now I can play through the whole game on NG in well under 10 hours, depending on how long I decide to farm the Anor Londo knights. DS1 still takes me longer, even after 3 playthroughs on NG and one NG+, partly because I have not put as much time into it as DS3, and because of the level design. Also I just finished my first playthrough of DS2 and that took me about 55 hours.

Dark Souls is one of the only games series I know that actually makes giving up on the game actually canon lol the whole time you're playing, you're portraying your undead character trying to push forward and trying to stay determined to complete your goal for once you lose your purpose, you go hollow. So if you as the player give up in the game, that's your character giving up on their will to go on and they "go hollow", never to be able to complete their goal.

Really depends on your viewpoint/opinion. I tend to play as a paladin/warrior with cleric or lightning spells. I've played others but it's my fav trend. But within the context of the choice in and of itself and less of the outside sources, I look at linking the fire is giving those people you passed along the way and chance to keep living and possibly find some form of happiness and enjoyment in their life. I sacrifice myself to give them a chance to continue on and hopefully find value in their lives. Darkness destroys everything, or at least how I've viewed it. It's possible that's not accurate, and likely isn't, but those people and beings I've met along the way that helped me, that died for me, that hallowed, don't deserve to just be wiped out. Their memory deserves to keep going, that's why I almost never snuff the fire out. That is of course just my view point/opinion. Game is a game.

Jirard definitely had some major character development with this series.

People need to stop calling the "dark ending" the bad one. Gwyn litterally ruined the world by extending the age of fire, the world in ds3 is litterally burned to ashes as a result of what he did. Also the age of dark is the age of humans, the dark soul is the human soul and Gwyn tries oppressing humans so much that his age of fire shenanigans cursed (some of) them to become undead, hell after a certain part in ds3 the world itself gets branded with the darksign with the black sun. Light does not always mean good and vice versa.

The only time I died to a boss was during the Ornstein and Smough fight which itself took around an hour of that time (they have a shit ton of health and do so much damage on ng+). It feels great because it just shows me how much I've improved. Honestly, it's weird to think I'm gonna finish NG+ soon, because I still wanna play more.

Hell no, they ruined Demon's charm. Maybe have them remake the engine and combat/gameplay mechanics but someone else to remake assets like models, textures, soundtrack, etc

You know I like the video I like hearing others perspective on the series but I wish you would’ve delved a little more into the completionist aspects of this game but I love your videos and now you’ve done an episode on all the souls games!

My goodness, just earlier today i watched a caddicarus video on dark souls remastered And that video was 3 years old

The soulsborne series has helped me through some dark times, their atmosphere and philosophy manifests beyond the barriers of a "game"

One of these days I’ll play dark souls, and watch my ass get kicked like 100 times

It’s honestly not that bad, people overate it’s difficulty. There’s a few tough spikes but overall doable

I guess it just depends on the player themselves

How far are we in to this series?

Once I heard the Frogs Theme go off, I knew this was gonna be great!

Mans just called age of dark the bad ending smh my head

The online interactions are what keep me coming back to these games. When the PvE becomes trivial because of player knowledge, the online is where the game can still offer the thrill of a real fight. Another player is much harder to predict because they learn your patterns during the fight, and vice versa. I understand that people do not like online interactions when they are new to these games, but it is what keeps people coming back even after the n'th playthrough.

I only played Dark Souls for the first time in 2019. The world, characters, lore and story seeped deeply into my heart, and I admit that I cried when the credits were rolling. I absolutely love Dark Souls and everything it taught me. After watching your video, I feel like returning & finally getting my last needed trophy for my Platinum - the dreaded Knight's Honour trophy, sigh lol XD

Thats music was epic as hell

What was the souls like game shown at the beginning at the 3:03 timestamp??

really crazy! I just started playing my Japanese copy of Dark Souls Remastered on Switch, really awesome to see we're on the same jam at the moment!

I'm in the mood to play through dark souls 3 again. Always great content fella. 👍👍

great vid and all jirard but... no giant dad reference?
