Dark Souls 3 After 1000 Hours Of Elden Ring... 

I HAVE A DISCORD SERVER NOW: discord.gg/jZ8GGTPQ

The moment I started up Elden Ring and hit the jump button for the first time, I knew I could never go back.

Before Elden RIng released I played DS3 a "last time" for myself I thought, because why would I ever play it again if i had Elden Ring. After finishin ER two times and some time of break I thought about playing it again, started a new game and after 5min shut it down because of the endless things and decisions I had to make to get the whole experience again. And so I decided to play DS3 again, just finished it yesterday and had so much fun and enjoyed the more liniar playstyle. Sure, ER is a great game and you dont have to do everything in every run, thats the point of the game. But for me as more of an completionist type of gamer, DS3 is still a great game! And in my humble opinion has much more interesting bosses all in all.

Name a more iconic duo than soulsborne RU-vidrs and trying to run past enemies and getting ganked.

See you in 6 years when y'all start replaying Elden Ring for nostalgia.

I remember when I had just barely started playing ds3 I spent 200 hours screaming at the tv and man was it good. Now I’ve spent 200 hours screaming at elden ring. Not to get sappy but it reminds me how time is truly just passing by.

What makes DS3 so good is that it's good from start to finish. There are no bad parts like the latter half of DS1, or the mid-game of DS2, or the random parts of Elden Ring that suck. It's just so tightly made, I love DS3

Bruh they literally copied elden ring smh

Can you do an Elden ring/Dark Souls nuzlock? Every time you die you lose all the equipment you are using (armor, weapons, catalysts) and you can only use one copy of each random enemy weapon/ armor drop.

It's so weird going back to Dark Souls 3 because I can speedrun Pontiff and parry him like a god, and get through Gael easily. But then I play Elden Ring and Morgott is impossible to parry, meanwhile Maliketh eats my ass for lunch and dinner.

Me trying to walk a step without jumping

Played it for the first time after 4 Elden Ring playthrough, not even comparable in difficulty, not a single base game boss took me more than 5 tries, bosses have way less bullshit in their kit

Finally went back to Dark Souls after elden ring, just reached Anor Londo and god its amazing, no shitty game balancing, gankers, repetitive bosses, good times

Idk y but ds3 content hits so hard, I remember playing this game like everyday for 3 hours until elden ring released, and then I broke my pc playing elden ring. It’s been like 2 months and life has not been good.

"Alright, let's try to kill this lizard. You think I can do it first try?" *Is immediately smashed into the earth, dying instantly* ......Yea, first try for sure. Never change Skum. For real though, nice to see you play DS. IMO, 3 is the best of the trilogy. My personal top 3 would be Elden Ring, DS3 and Bloodborne.

Ds3 still absolutely STOMPS elden ring in pvp and nobody can convince me otherwise.

Did he just seriously admit to never seeing Morbius?

omg I’ve been waiting for this, thank you skum daddy

I love the constant call backs to how he "beat this shit 10 million times" and with every death he looks embarrassed so you know he's not lying. playing ds series after Elden ring is mad funny because you can see a lot of elements and enemies ripped right from the game and refurbished 6:52 you cant tell me that's not a beastman from Farum Azula, and these shitty dogs we all hate 8:00

6:19 "try fingers, But Hole" that's what the message would say

Littlebill donating 1 bit at a time all through the vid was my favorite part lmao

Skumnut in elden ring: easily beats the game with the worst weapons Also Skumnut in Dark Souls III: rolls to his death several times

I love that you did an e-brake turn on your language because one child asked you not to cuss so he could keep watching

Went back to ds3 and i realized how much more tightly designed that game was. I mean ER is by far bigger but personally i prefer ds3 for all the bosses and shit. Plus the ds3 mods are hot af

Played bloodborne, ds1 and ds2 after my Elden Ring playthroughs over the course of a month or two (those are my 3 favorites) and I must say they just have something Elden RIng seems to... not have. Could be biased nostalgia who knows but I just felt quite rejuvenated.

For me ds3 combat feels a million times better than elden ring. Much faster and more smooth. Also for me i can feel the impact of both my characters and the enemys attacks way more in ds3. I do like some of the things elden ring does better like they gave r1s worse damage multiplier and nerfed ds3 rolls, but over all ds3 is winner for me when it comes to combat.

After beating elden ring I tried dark souls remastered right after I'm really liking it

The most memorable part of dark souls 3 was the nameless king to me. That fight was so epic... 😂

Everyone knows you're not a dark souls veteran if you two hand your broad sword.

After ER I finally beat base game ds3, the bosses are so good and the roll somehow feels better? Also the vibe is just superior in my opinion, gonna beat bloodborne after I finish the DLCs

Yeah the difference in how refined these games are is pretty clear

I went back and replayed DS3 and DSR, then decided to give ds2 another try. I honestly think elden ring made me appreciate the souls series more. As janky and messy as ds2 is, for whatever reason I enjoyed it way more after playing Elden.

Best souls gamer right here, first tries every boss

I almost died when u got the tree jump first try. I've done speed runs on the game and that jump still gives me problems. Much props

that godamn male death scream is so comical its art.

DS3 is my first soulsgame and the first love will always be something special.

This is honestly how i imagine every Souls player

I did a SL1 playthrough in Elden Ring a bit ago and it absolutely kicked my ass. Took about 60 hours of straight up practicing, build testing, and all other sorts of learning. I just beat DS3 SL1 in 10 hours with the broadsword, like the first weapon i found. I'm not saying DS3 is easy, but it's definitely FAIR. late game Elden Ring bosses are complete dogwater now that i have the context of both games. Malenia literally took me 2 weeks but Gael only took me 2 hours. Elden Ring is a fantastic game but they went so hard with undodgeable boss mechanics that you gotta BS them back just to win. I want it to be a gentlemans duel not a cheese carnival.

After 400 hours of Elden Ring i dont think i could go Back, No Jumping, No Guard Counter. No Ashes that i can change whenever i want. And i played through Dark Souls 3 for 10 Times.

I had played only bloodborne before Elden Ring, but I had always wanted to play dark souls. A month after I bought Elden Ring, the whole DS series and the dlc for the third one went on sale. I bought them all and started playing, currently I'm in Dark Souls 2 and I am still loving the games.

I had the opposite experience. Going back to ds3, I felt like… omg I just can’t. Elden ring kinda set me free. I can’t return the the shackles that bind me in ds3. I have ascended.

It's kinda sad to realize that a lot of fans from elden ring dont have a clue about its predecessor.

Meanwhile im stuck in 2 places.. I played Dark Souls 3 far too much and I cant even look at it because of how Linear it is. On the OTHER hand. Elden ring is so confusing and every build I do takes 150~ hours to finish that Im actually considering playing Sekiro again. Even though its not my favorite

Every single time I make a new character in DS3 I always keep making the character again and again, farming until I get the Symbol of avarice from the first mimic.

I felt the opposite. Going back to Dark Souls 3 was like finally getting out of bed after a long sickness. Finally, no .5 second delay on pressing dodge and actually dodging. There are many things I love about Elden Ring, but man the input delay is not one of those... Probably the longest in any souls game I've played besides DS2, but the entirity of DS2 was slower and you had plenty of time to readjust most cases.

I played dark souls 1 for the first time after beating Elden ring like 6 times it’s fun, the no jumping is annoying tho

“If you know you know” How could I forget?

elden ring was so fresh to me, I put thousands of hours into dark souls, and elden ring was kicking my ass from the start

Im surprised that the first thing you did wasn't trying to jump😂

Went straight to the Dancer and got humbled real quick 😂😭

As someone who only played Elden Ring it’s kind of mind blowing how many assets were just reused

I fought soul of cinder solo and died a few times on the first run...so seeing this makes me feel much better.

To me they feel like completely different games and that elden ring is way easier depending on the run your doing If your doing elden ring with the ancestral child head then every other dark souls game looks like a joke

I always ask myself: if Gael was in Elden Ring, and he was still "sane", will he become the elden lord ? I'm talking about his Boss version ofc.

It's so funny that literally every death in this video is the result of impatience and rushing too quickly

"if you never played this, you are not going to do this first try!"... This applies to mostly everything in this game 🤣

I like this better than elden ring, elden ring is just too big if I play it for more than a few hours my head actually hurts cuz theres just so much this is much more linear plus I think the bosses are better

After I beat elden ring 2 times, I went back to ds3 and beat it like 5 more times to get most of the achievements. Elden ring is an incredible game, but ds3 will always be my favorite

RU-vid recommended me this video, blessed be the Mighty Algorithm, and laughed out loud when you were dying to the soldiers by the dragon! :D Great vid!

I don't know why but when you said "You're hacking" to gundyr it made me happy

cool hitless run! very impressive!

I replayed DS3 after elden ring and the bosses felt so easy without all the insane tracking that the bosses in elden ring have.

Bro the minions song had me getting sturdy for 10 and a half hours, I couldn’t stop

13:25 There are times where silence speaks louder than words🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don't know man, I think ds3 is way better than Elden Ring, open world games just don't hold up very well. Even though it's a great open world game it could never compare with a well-designed, well thought out experience like ds3. Plus this game has far less stinky doo doo bosses.

Thought elden ring could over throw Dark Souls 2 as my favorite game of all time. Man am I happy to be wrong. replaying ds2 was one of the best experiences I had this year.

the tree skip is like one of the first things i did when i first played ds3 at the cathedral it took so many tries

i love how everything he says is exactly what i think every time i do a play through of this game

Every once in a while I start up dark souls 1 or 2 and play through it , it never gets old for me , there’s always a new weapon for me I never played the game with and dark souls 3 is no exception , nor bloodborne or sekiro , or elden ring , i know for a fact in 10-20 years im still going to be playing these games every once in a while xD

Beat a Ds3 boss and feel something real and fulfilling vs melting bosses in elden ring feeling empty and stupidly overpowered. Pvp is not even comparable. Wine vs lemonade.

i went back to dks 3 and did like 3 playthrus after elden ring. elden ring didnt ruin the previous titles for me, i still love them all in their own way

10:43 "Think that's gonna stop me ...I'm too good" proceeds to immediately die.

For any that has played and enjoyed Elden Ring, I highly suggest you go back and play DS1R and DS3. I honestly find them to be better than ER in a map design aspect. Absolute masterpieces!!!

after i played elden ring and went over to ds3, i swear it didnt look this bad when i first played it 💀

the minion song cameo- I cant- this is the greatest yt channel in existence

Simply the fact that his name is “Skumnut” got me hitting that subscribe button.

Imo sekiro,bb and ds3 are way better than elden ring. Way better balance, way better bosses and in terms of music bb and ds3 have way better music

i played DS3 for the first time after elden ring ... the first thing that confused me is lack of map ! but i got used to it

The fact that Skumnut dies to Vordt and Greatwood despite managing to become the Rickety Lord makes me confident that I'll be able to get through Godskin Duo first try solo whenever I get Elden Ring

hoesntly ive started playing ds3 recently and i was able to get used to not being able to jump alot quicker than i thought i would

Parrying is so easy, the enemies don't turn and line up with you mid light attack, they dont cheat and extend combos in ways you cant.... its easy mode. I played 1 and 3 all the way through in literally a few days. Its stupid how broken elden ring is and how much ive adapted.

No doubt that Elden Ring is incredible and one of the greatest games ever made. I think it’s fromsofts penultimate achievement up to this point. That being said I can 100% Dark souls 3 in 20 hours, that would take over 100 hrs in Elden Ring. The bosses are also the highest average quality, and the build variety is pretty high. For these reasons it’s my favorite game to replay.

you know your done when doctor Procter shows up

man played so much ER he summoned for SoC. No matter how popular ER becomes after finishing it 2 times I still went back and enjoyed DS3 for the 10th time. I prefer that aesthetic

Dark souls 3 the masterpiece 10/10 daddy of Elden Ring which is also a 10/10

I feel like I'm honestly the only one who actually enjoyed Dark Souls 3 more than Elden Ring. I've never been the best at the double boss fights in the Soulsborne games, but at least up until Elden Ring they seemed fair. It's like with Elden Ring they decided to throw fair out the fuckin' window. Two, sometimes even three bosses that are always on your ass all the time. At least in Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3, Demon's Souls and Bloodborne they were balanced around the fact that you most likely were going to be going in by yourself to that fight. In Dark Souls 1 Ornstein and Smough had the balance of one being fast and one being slow, so you could kite the slow one and deal with the fast one. Smough didn't have some insane airborne nearly 1-shottable gap closer. Sometimes he charged at you but even that was slow, and you had pillars you could use to your advantage. Dark Souls 2 the Twin Dragonriders, one of them stood up top and OCCASIONALLY fired an arrow at you until you killed the one on the ground, or just took too long. But even at that you could easily separate them and they didn't take much damage for being 99.999% armored knights. Dark Souls 3 with the Twin Princes, The guy on the ground didn't have legs and everything he did was telegraphed as all get out, and his brother just kinda hung out and teleported his brother behind you every so often. Then in the second phase the younger brother comes down from the top row to become the worlds biggest liability and give you a monster sized weak spot to start smacking. And it's basically the same for the Demon Twin Princes as well, except without one of them becoming a worthless backpack to the other. Hell they even trust fall onto the ground on occasion if you deal enough damage. Friede and the giant dude in the church is like Ornstein and Smough in that one is fast and one is slow and they give you plenty of space, until the big one decides to baby rage that he can't hit you for some reason and spews fire all over the place, which you can just slap Friede into and let the fire do some of the work for you. Demon's Souls the Dual Maneaters one just floats around in the air waiting for the first one to die. Occasionally they pull the WWE pro-wrestling tag-in maneuver but that's about it. Garl Vinland and Maiden Astraea is probably the easiest dual boss fight in the franchise since she just sits back and literally does nothing until you kill Garl Vinland, at which point she offs herself. And Garl is a joke too because that dumb ass thought bringing a giant 2 handed hammer into a narrow choke point was a good idea and you just laugh at him every time his swings plink off the wall next to him. Bloodborne had a triple boss fight, but one was slow with some range, one was fast but with no range, the other was ALL range and they give you a big ass rock in the battle arena to kite 2 of the 3 around. Yeah after killing one they start summoning a giant snake to pop up from the ground to eat you, but if you're at least moving towards one of the remaining bosses it'll never get you. The weird bobble-head alien bosses I don't even consider a multi-boss bossfight since after you smack the real one a couple of times it thinks that fusing into one much bigger, easier to hit version of it's already pathetic self was the best play, which it wasn't. For you it was, for them it wasn't. In Elden Ring though all of the double boss fights throw balance out of the fuckin' window and they both stick to your ass like it's the last chopper out of Vietnam. They really want you to play a very specific way, instead of designing fights that work around any build. And that's my other gripe. Armor is basically just cosmetic at this point. I liked how in Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1 armor actually mattered. It doesn't anymore, and it feel like a big "Fuck You!" by the developers to me and people like me. They just want people to either play a mage or parry all the things. No, I like the sword-and-board playstyle. Let me be a giant fuckin' battletank that can't dodge crap and has poor overall mobility and is always borderline over-encumbered.

Yeah the saddest thing is seeing the pontiff fight club being absolutely lifeless, I sat there for about 3 hours yesterday and could not get summoned once, I managed to invade and had 1 good fight but that was it.

Sekiro was my first fromsoft game and now i bought Ds3. Dont even know where i need to go but its still pretty fun

Only 3 (kinda 4) problems I see with Elden Ring. PvP should follow the ember system's rules because it was so goddamn good. It'd also make it so nearly every invasion isn't a gank. Balancing for the player, and the bosses. It's obvious that the game's balancing is pretty bad, but if they pour enough time into it all would be well. Finally the repeats. Why is there so goddamn many repeats. I myself don't mind it too much, but I can still recognize that that's just kinda lazy. I don't know if they'd ever make new dungeon and field bosses due to some problems, but it's basically the only solution.

It’s pretty hard going back to these older games after elden ring imo. I wanna do an interesting build but then I realize there’s only so much “interestingness” a game like dark souls 3 can offer. The build variety is not nearly as vast as elden ring. It’s still one of my all time favorite games nonetheless.

11:53 you come there to unlock a ladder that leads you to a titanite slab

My current post Elden ring playthrough I’ve noticed I’ve been using so much more jump attacks and charged attacks

To be fair DS3 is the only one I really just turn on and turn back off in about half an hr. DS1 I play for a while. DS2 I feel like a tourist going through those cool stages again. In a way the jump to ER feels like Castlevania's jump to exploration

My god imagine if we had the size and gameplay of Elden Ring, the level design of dark souls 1 and the environment and boss battles of Dark souls 3...

Fun drinking game, take a shot every time skum says "oh my god"

"I'm a pro at this game" dies 5 times to a tree falling on him. Great video man keep it up.

elden ring actually made me appreciate the older titles more, currently on my second playthrough of ds1 after playing through elden ring 3 times. and i can't tell you how great it is, to play through, get an idea for a build and not be completely lethargic at the thought of starting again. games like the souls series with so many different options really benefit from a short playthrough with lot's of options as to how to get through the game. with elden ring... you might have an idea for another build, but the thought of playing another 100 hours of the game to test it.. isn't great. don't get me wrong, it's a great game. it just doesn't really play to it's strengths. it has all the customization, but doesn't enable you to make use of it.

still like DS3 more than ER even though ER is great. DS3+DLC just has that lore and atmosphere that takes it to the next level. and of course the OST is just insane, leagues better than ER's (subjective of course)

Just went back to DSR after I beat ER and its just as good as it always was.

man i been thinking about playing some of the souls games because i never had just elden ring and when they said u couldnt jump in darksouls i think that sealed the deal for me
