He predicted Rollslop

What I want back from demon souls is being able to climb 3 foot ledges again.

I love this line: "Games are more interesting when they're unshackled by expectations of a narrow-minded fan-base or the financial whims of a publisher."
I agree and I am especially exasperated with fan-bases. "Narrow-minded" hits it on the nose.

"doing it 20 times in one game is just excessive"
How about 40 times?

I kinda feel it's disappointing how Demon's, in a way, has retroactively been thought of as a Dark Souls Prototype.

"The most reasonable line of thought is that the arrow will have a certain amount of travel-time, so if you change direction after you hear the shot you'll be safe.  Wrong.  The arrow magically curves in mid-air because this is no longer a series where you outsmart your opponent; it's a series where you press the roll button at the right time."

A perfect thesis statement, reduced to three succinct sentences.

This mad lad bodied Elden Ring 4 years before it existed.

I watched this again after finishing my elden ring dlc. I got to say,  After all these years, this is still the best game critic video.

Here's a wonderful quote i found in regards to the DeS Remake and the overall modern view of videogame remakes:
"This kind of flippant treatment of original works as if they’re just inherently “not good enough” for contemporary tastes just lends credence to the idea that video games are not art. If they’re this disposal and easily replaceable, they’re nothing but toys."

"A game where you press dodge at the right time."

Perfect description.

There is one unforgiving thing from Demon's Souls: we can't wear the Penetrator armor

After beating Elden Ring maaaaaaan this video aged well.

Every time From puts out another Souls content, this video just ages better and better.

this video is 7 years old... insane how things were for dlc right now. dark souls movement and combat were being forced to fight a literal anime edge lord now.

Whatever tf Consort Rahdan is, is the end stage of this video made almost a decade ago.

I like how with each entry of these games this video keeps aging like fine wine to an even finer wine. We might even get the grand elixir. Who knows at this point.

It's weird how people mistake difficulty for depth in souls combat

My guy perfectly explained every problem i have with recent fromsoft and soulslikes games in 24 minutes. Bravo.

This aged like fine wine, It's crazy how much Elden Ring proved you were right about worrying.

"At their worst, they're camera eating monstrosities with infinite stamina that blatantly read your inputs, cancel their recovery animations and have nonsensical tracking"
Every boss in elden ring.
