Dark Souls: Remastered Nintendo Switch Review - Is It Worth It? 

I’ve hit so many npc’s following this rule

So everything

and if you think it wont kill you , think again 😂

Also please look up before playing any title who not to kill and just know what they look like so you don't accidentally hit them and then get in an endless loop of spawn deaths making you have to restart

You seem to know stuff, as someone who has never played a dark souls game, and someone who plans on getting this one, what class and stuff should I pick?

For new people Warrior or Cleric are the best classes. They are both versatile with decent shields. Warrior has more armor and a better shield but Cleric starts with a healing miracle that can help a lot too. Don't listen to people recommending Knight as first class for newcomers, Knight has way too much armor to the point of making you so slow to make it a problem (for a person who doesn't know how to play yet at least) and a meh weapon with less reach. Don't pick the master key as a starting gift. It let's you open shortcuts to areas you shouldn't be able to go, making it easier to fuck up and go to a place you are yet too weak to go to, and through the other end of the area even.

Devastator 4403 Pick any class you like. You get a “starting gift”, choose the master key (unless u start as a thief, he already has it). The key allows you access to many areas, so u don’t get bored. Take off as much armor, until u notice you can roll quickly. Practice rolling (or evasion), until you get good at it. Don’t worry about parrying, that will come with time. As soon as you get to the central hub go to the left and fight the armored hollows. They lead UP to a sewer & then dragon. Keep going (past the armored hog/pig area) and eventually to the chapel. From there find the elevators that go back down to central hub. Ride these & look around. You’ll find that on one side you can walk off the elevators. Take this walk off area & go toward the right. It’s tricky, but at the final edge you can roll off the ledge & onto part of the temple/central hub. Go up and you will see a corpse on top of the building housing the cleric. Get this item/key. You’ll fall to do this. Go back up & off the elevator. You can reach the crow. Enter it’s best & squat down. You’ll be taken back to the start of game. Explore the area & you will find the “iron key.” This will equip you to explore all of the game.

Master key is a must have and by far the best start item

@@thefebo8987 sure, but the Thief already has it without the gift!

Let me worry about blank.

Play naked or not at all lol

Cheers.

@@nintendolife Anytime.

Like everyone else starting this game. What else is new

@@rayminishi689 what's absurd is that they are people out there that think you can only play dark souls if you have been genetically modified to never make a single mistake at a video game where dying doesn't matter as much as dying in anyother game. (Buy he cazul, he ruin game for uz ultra hardcore nerdz who have never died at ull, he need to sell the game to reel gamerrz who are gud - Lifeless losers that make a religious connection about a video game) Also a sense of accomplishment is in every single game that is slightly difficult, unless most people who go on about it are social conservatives who complain that no one pulls themselves by ther bootstraps in blind patriotic fervor.

The commenters below are bad at life so don’t feel so terrible if you’re not good at DS...

That's how the game works on every other system, bottom face button is the interact button.

You can change it

@@mathewsoltan8487 Ive been playing Souls since Demon Souls. But every other switch game has literal opposite confirmation controls. You get accustomed to pressing A and not X when holding your switch after a while. It cannot be changed. If i play any game on switch they all use the right face button to confirm. It's a huge inconsistency especially for one of the most demanding games on the console.

@@chemax79 You cannot change the confirm and cancel buttons.

Yeah but you can change them for not menus

i cry when i saw that

OMG I read "X bone"😂

Lazy port. Love it or hate it, they at least tried to change some things.

I like this port but i really hate the compressed audio,it is horrible. It's like Fallout 4 on ps4 but even worse. It needs a patch immediatly.

Actually....no they didn't, the remaster actually looks better than the ps3 version, it's not only brighter, but sharper aswell.

Die_Salat_Gurke that’s what it says

ty you just made me get it

@@typical8903 it's an awesome game. If u put it down bc u get stuck look up a guide. If u can't beat a boss just keep leveling up ur character. Grinding the same area over and over and over. This goes for elden ring too.

@@tabernaclejones6115 i’ve beaten dark souls one blind, no way in hell am i quitting! I also prefer guideless so im mad at my self for watching the bosses

@@typical8903 damn me too, but I feel like I miss out on so much if I don't look up a guide. Bc there's so many doors and stuff that u have to enter at the right time. And in sekiro you have branching paths and are suppose to go down a certain path at a certain time in the game or u might miss cutscenes/quest opportunities. But ya I agree,going in blind to these games is the best way. The atmosphere is impeccable. Really the only good AAA games that are still coming out lol I'm so jaded by gaming now though.

As a streamer this is good to know thank you. I reluctant to even stream Minecraft because when you go into the mines it’s a dark video

Same here.

Same here!

It will be take some time then XD

@@CISMarinho are you sure

TheMrAardbei facts

I think they wanted to make it uniform with the PS4 and Xbox version

cant you just swap the buttons in system settings?

After everything I've seen, personally it's a big thing for me and I'm not going to buy the game until it's fixed.

C4 Professional I wonder if headphones will help with the sound situation

Ikr I couldn't see shit

No

No unfortunately not :( really hoping for some sort of patch or something..

I just got it a few days ago....no clue what you mean? It looks and sounds great.

stapuft try and compare it to the other versions, unless they patched it

@@edward7048 I can only compare it to thw ps3 original and not any remastered edition as I only own the original and the switch remaster. And it actually looks better and sounds the same, possibly better in the audio area aswell.

NoOneCares your, dark, soul? I’m sorry that was bad.

@@LonumStraws "Let these souls, withdrawn from their vessels, manifestations of disparity, elucidated by fire, burrow deep within me. Retreating to a darkness beyond the reach of flame, let them assume a new master, inhabiting ash. Casting themselves upon new forms."

@@noonecares3627 This gave me DS3 nostalgia something terrible.

If you struggle with something like this, this game might not be for you to begin with.

@@Weeegeee212 i was told recently that it was not one of those games, so i should be fine

Yes

Apparently he said here the game doesnt explain much. He probably didn't know. He also said he's bad at the game.

This is what I want to know

There is no online chat function in the souls games, you can only leave messages on the ground that can either be used to help or trick other people.

Captain Titforce even when summoned? It doesn’t work for the app?

@@Christofly nope, there are some basic items that you can use to interact with other players but even those are obtainable towards the end game dlc. There is no actual voice chat function in the game.

Gestures ;) Dont forget to bow

the moment you will start getting better will be 100% the best feeling

I feel like the Souls-Borne games difficulty gets a bit inflated. Does it have it's tough spots? Sure. But it's mostly just very punishing of mistakes rather than being outright ball bustingly hard. You just need to take it slow, pay attention to the environment and enemies, and have a good understanding of your weapons and items. Also, you can boost your character and weapon stats, get health back from messages you leave, get tips and warnings from messages, and have coop friends help you through some of the trickier sections of the game.

@@agt_pendergast8899 for most people looking into the game, sure, but that's because you already have enough practice with controls, timings, rythms, and puzzles from other games. You have to have a certain flow of mind to play this game right.

You'll love it. Have fun!

I love that you can display your characters name in Multiplayer, now I can make a maneater Mildred cosplay character for summons

How does it play handheld?

@@sirbak3d316 great !

Wow thats a lot of hours!!!

how is itt so faaar

1st step. Get friends

@@FROSTB4NE graphics looked fine on the network test, wasn't that dark though!

Almost lol

Tom Snooze you can adjust brightness

@@benk4000 I own Skyrim on switch, and love it, but the lighting still sucks with full brightness. In a dungeon, or some places at night, you can't see bat shit unless you avoid natural light. Quite annoying, they could have at least added an ingame gamma option.

Yeah same here mate, really annoyed don't think I am arsed to pick it up now, hoping a patch might happen

I think they intended that to somehow throw the player's off a little bit. I think the accept and back buttons are also reversed in the ps4 versions of DS(X=O and O=X)

@@Haseo251 On playstation the O and X buttons are not reversed.

If you have power a pro controller you can remap buttons but obviously that's not ideal for portable but still good for tabletop mode and docked.

@@satansibles8765 Good point, I was thinking about that, but I'm not really willing to buy another controller, particularly one that takes AA batteries. It so happens that my copy of DS got lost in the post, so I've got to chase that up first before I can worry about the controls.

Yes.

That makes literally no sense

Until you get joycon drift.

Mr. K gamexplain did a blight town video and it runs pretty good better than other versions.

@@satansibles8765 I bought it like 20 minutes after I posted that went straight to blight town and it was like MAJOR lag spikes, like it would straight up freeze for a second and skip around on me. A few times its crashed my switch. Not sure if it's my switch or just the game. My consoles about 2 years old now

Mr. K damn wtf yeah I dunno I was just going off gamexplains video it didn't look too bad when they showed it are you playing docked or hand held?

@@satansibles8765 handheld, I'm not gonna bother doing any testing in docked I have 6 copys of ds1 so yeah...

Mr. K yeah fair enough trade it in. I just watched a review from ign but I don't really trust ign but gamexplain are credible somewhat they also say blight town runs fine compared too the originals. Was gonna be buying this next payday but now you got me concerned 😨

This looks like a copy and paste comment from the IGN review

@@Oceanandskylinevidss That's because I posted the same comment on several videos to inform as many people as I can about this.

It's a bit more Metroid-ey where the game is fairly straighforward at first, but then opens up more and more as you find shortcuts that connect different parts of the world.

This is an action rpg, comparing it to open world games isn’t accurate. The world is interconnected, every area connects and intertwines with others and the world can be explored almost fully at the beginning of the game assuming you pick the master key as your starting gift. Do not pick the master key if this is your first play-through, you will probably accidentally miss a lot of content if you do and do accidental sequence breaks that only veterans should attempt, it’s the starting gift for veterans, go pendent for first playthrough

I know right! I wanted a review not a synopsis of the first 10 minutes lol

A bit late, but: dont worry, after the first playthrough ur still gonna be almost clueless about the story and lore

So how is your experience?

@@MOULAYRECHIDREDOUAN you mean how WAS her experience

Personally, I wish every game had custom control options. Not really sure why all games don't have it. You can't really complain about the control layout if you can just change it to whatever you want.

I think it’s more about how it makes the menus really hard to use because you’re expecting to use the Nintendo layout (A to accept B to return) and it’s the PS / XBOX layout.

So did your spelling

This is truly the Elden Ring of youtube comments
