DARK SOULS (Zero Punctuation) 

you cae back just to say this right?

I want to know what your reaction was when you met this for the first time: 38.media.tumblr.com/d93878e7a28174a833b73ef45a34efbf/tumblr_msovc8eHvG1rp1soxo1_400.gif You know, the friendliest enemy in the game. He even wants to cuddle you!

Arexion5293 It was "Take that, Museum of Natural History exhibiHOLYCRAPYOUGUYSRECOVERFAST!"

jayRiott Mine was more of: "... NOPE! It was a bad idea to get here this early in the game! Maybe I can run past them.. wait, I can't enter further due to this golden fog. Are you telling me that I'm not supposed to be here yet?! Ohgawd, I need to head back from all the way back here.." Seriously, I went up to that golden fog wall in the Tomb of the Giants before going through Blight Town on my first playthrough. Man did I regret it. xD

the worst part is... one would think your comment is sarcarsm, but its so true.

Wolf Pytlak I one time ran all the way through the catacombs and tomb of the giants at sl 14-15 or so to kill lerroy to get his gear just for him not to spawn

+Asher Flanagan I wonder if that's an off the cuff joke he made or if he found the second ending and figured that was the message they were trying to put across

And then you bite your tounge and then it is suddenly 101% ;D

Beretta249 Well the alternatives would've been 150% and 110%, so we'll call it the lesser of three evils.

Ah, how naïve we were!

Having lived through 2020, I can report that you are almost certainly underestimating the upper limit of how fucked things can get.

On my tenth or so viewing and it always gutpunches me. Comic gold.

“It’s right out in the open, in a chest in a basement in a different post code behind two secret walls and a fire”

Maybe because current events are leading us to another one?

God level Comedy

Yeah, my group didn't get a standing ovation🙃 😆 Apparently Jewish joke's didn't fly well with the crowd. Tried to woe them over with some French and British joke's but it all fell flat 🤭

Which only can be obtain if you know that you should spare the boss and then purchase the item from the said boss.

Which item????

@@brettbewley5798 I’m assuming he’s talking about Margit’s Shackle

@@r31ya You can kill him and then buy it from the twins using his bell.

Jerry Peet that wouldnt be hardcore enough

exactly

One lobster only has so much energy and desire to snip your balls.

But with two you can have each lobster with one claw on the balls and the other on your willy.

Lily Peet You sound like my kind of woman.

And the reason why you're a human in a land of giants is because it's a third person game and no one likes it when the camera hits walls constantly.

Yeah, the gods were about 11 to 20 feet tall most of the time.

Akilroth234 Why is it that Gwyn is smaller than his daughter? Things like that puzzled me.

Jonathan Ashton Where is that somewhere else?

timaeusTestified The gods in dark came from the "underground" as well, or the Dark, as the intro to the game called it. "And from the Dark they came, and found the souls of Lords within the Flame." Also, the gods left because the Flames were fading, not due to the curse, though I'm sure that was a partial contributor. P.S. And no offense was intended, by the way. I was just correcting what I KNEW was wrong, not because I think "yer stewpid 'er nothin'"

I laughed so hard when I saw what you were talking about.

'Which you must have found because its right there, in the open, on a chest, in a basement, in a different post code, behind two walls and a fire."

Patrick Bever-Chritton well in dark souls it seems that size = power in one form or another. So yeah, there's that too.

Not necessarily true. Gwen is pretty damn powerful and he's roughly the same size as you. Not to mention your character who kills numerous gods and is just normal human size.

Heath Dan you don't know shit

Late as fuck but Gwyn has been burning in the first flame for who knows how long. He's basically a hollow when we fight him, so who knows how large (and powerful) he was in his prime.

His honorary coffin in Anor Londo is fucking enormous, suggesting he was much larger when he first linked the flame.

And incredibly boring for me. The depth of the combat system in the Souls games is just soo damn good! Every different weapon you use can make for a completely different experience in a new playthrough! Shame hardly any other games are worth replaying as often as I've replayed the Souls games. :c

assassins creed is still hard though

Father Karras of course lol assassins creed is the easiest game that has swords in it

Not me. A lot of "sword" games are hard simply because the controls are horrible compared to something like dark souls and/or your character power is incredibly dependant on character progression (In Dark Soul, you can do insane damages at lvl 1, hence the lvl 1 run all the way to NG+7)

Ever played Chivalry?

casual

+GameSpoon I'm going to assume it's implied that, in addition to the first try, one should also be able to kill it while naked and unarmed?

Shadow Scryer duh, you should also do it without holding the controller in your hands. Do it with your feet, of course. While upside down. Only THEN are you truly skilled.

+Hazel Capfuls Nah. You're truly skilled when you kill Manus that way. While blindfolded and having what's onscreen described to you by someone with a severe speech impediment.

Shadow Scryer manus was a bitch i killed him with a shield

I would not be at all surprised if that was a deliberate reference. This guy practically speaks Douglas Adams.

By the way, what's the name of the song Afro used there?

Agreed. I never understood the "ooh, I can't tell you why it's good, blergle blergle" sharade. It's not like you need to spoil anything in the experience in saying "this game has a steep learning curve, but it has great storytelling, an oppressive atmosphere of hopelessness in a bleak world filled with awe inspiring places in ruins and absolutely insane levels of customisation, when it comes to character building and choosing your own play style".

+Zack Reid That's what reviewers are for right?

+Zack Reid I hope you didn't play Dark souls 2 -.-

***** Dark souls 2 wasn't a BAD game, it just wasn't as good as ds1

Nickolas Marchuk​​ it was a money grab cut and paste. And after I played Dark Souls after II recently it was like omg where did this game go? Everything besides the frame rate handled so great

DEMON'S SOULS (Zero Punctuation)

Escapist well, that rounds up the search

Escapist ...um, now bring me a pizza?

I played Dark Souls first, then I gave Demon's Souls a try because many people would claim that it is better than Dark Souls. Those people can eat shit and die.

+djlapio93litlebro hurr durr, demon souls is so good because it came out first hurr durr

Too bad it can't be in the top 5 because it came out 4 years ago.

***** Anyone that doesn't take Yahtzee's opinion with a massive sized grain of salt is a complete moron. Anyone as cynical as he comes off in these videos would be completely unlikeable in real life and would have most likely killed themselves from loneliness long ago.

ITT: People missing the joke of ZP.

disturbedrocks1996 Wow. You sound way more depressing to be around than Yahtzee.

@@disturbedrocks1996 Yeah, agreed with the guy above. I'd probably have killed myself if I had to spend more than an hour in your company, sheesh. If you want to see unlikeable, look in the mirror. EDIT: Just noticed it's been 7 years, but I doubt you've changed, so my point stands.

Hey, that rhymed.

I love this comment, I come back to it every once in a while to laugh at yahtzee.

That was the best part of Dark Souls for me, the hilarious post-its just scattered about Lordran. I seen one that had said "Amazing Chest Ahead" right infront of the Blacksmith Andre of Astora, and I just broke down laughing.

Zael Z there actually is a chest behind astora.

Really? :o I've never seen it! What does it contain?

Zael Z I think it's a ring, though I am not 100 percent sure anymore. Hawk ring iirc.

Hawk Ring was in the corner of the Giant Blacksmith.

Alex lol it's a pretty bad one, but fixed easily enough. All hail Durante.

Have a great time :D

lol yeah darksouls is endlessly fantastic, i just started a new game after almost a year of not playing and was like "why the hell did i stop playing this?!?! its fucking epic!!!!" -commits dark souls genocide and kills every invader" huzzah for the best PVP system ever, the one where you dont get a damn choice XD I LOVE IT!!!!!

I heard that the pc version is very bad is it good or not

R.J. Howell It has two major issues. First: The keyboard controls are fucked beyond belief to the point of unplayable. If you have a controller, this doesn't matter. I also heard that it is extremely poorly optimized if you don't have a good PC. I don't have any issues, personally, but I know people that get really bad FPS lag.

R.J. Howell Just Google for DSFix and DSMFix. Those 2 mods completely fix the game on PC. As a matter of fact, I finished the game many many times with keyboard+mouse and, quite frankly, I can't imagine playing this game with a controller now.

yep you got my thoughts right haha

Yes I was looking too

Same

Was always wondering what ZP episode it was from, now I found it lol. Been thinking about it since that video came out.

Leeroy would kick your ass

Not even in his wettest dream.

Raptor the hell are you talking about? the guy is famous for fucking up and making everybody die! and you think he can take on TARKUUUUUUUUUS the mother fucking badass who took out a Dark souls boss single handedly!.... lol its like bieber fighting chuck noris

And gravity flips you.

gabo Gravity OP plz nerf

Except the story of the game is mainly told via item descriptions (3:21), and just a little trough the environment.

ThatFeelBr0 Except item descriptions are not telling the game's story but history of the Dark Souls world. Game tells the story of an undead who is trying to find his way. That's all. Rest are just side stories.

i dont get why people dismiss dark souls great storytelling cause its "lore" not story. let me give you un example: you find this huge ass demon that does nothing, you walk around and find a corpse with a kick ass equipment.. you take it and run away and the demon jumps and suicides off a drop just to get to you...you laugh cause he is a shitty easy boss... you do it again again and again in NG+++.. and then you get in the lore and realize that the demon was a transformed/mutated brother looking after her dead sisters grave that you just freaking pillaged.... and that gets to me, i feel like a fucking douche.. not many games can do that. now compare that to Alduin fucking dying 10 seconds after all the build up and after that no one in the fucking world gives a shit about you saving it.

BloodyDIMISIS55 Totally. It's the fact that it's not all read to you by NPCs like a book that makes it good. You get into it because it's all there. People overlook it because they're used to fantasy games using the setting as an excuse. "Why are there demons? Because fantasy and magic!". In Dark Souls when you see something strange or out of place, there's a reason for it, and it's not just because "magic and shit, what're you gonna do?".

ThatFeelBr0 The descriptions and items tell very little of the story, What the items and characters say is the lore, not the story. The only story that the game makes for you is that you are the Chosen Undead. The true story is your experience from beginning to end.

Yahtzee usually hates hand holding in games and the recent 'dumbing down' games has gotten over the years, he says it all the time. A game that is just plain difficult, sounds like his cup of tea to me...

Not just an early Eclipse my good sir, but one with a blue moon occurring on Friday the 13th with all the planets aligned!

A4DM The Deadman He usually hates what he calls uninspired games.

Alvious I

calvin mcclory This description was perfect, surprised it didn't get more comments^_^ The word I would probably use for dark souls is probably ambitious, but i really like how it makes you feel how small you are, yet how powerful you are. At first, you look at it and think wow, I'm so small and theres no way I'm doing this, but you come back and think wow I've conquered this vast landscape, maybe my guy is the chosen undead. I dunno, I just really like the feel of the game^_^ hahhaa its also very mysterious

calvin mcclory yeah the areas until the bells are rung are so perfectly designed with there always being 2 ways to get somewhere (havel being a great example)

+calvin mcclory Realistic is actually a good word to describe it. Not realistic in the sense of video game vs real world but in the sense that the areas are relative to each other and the world feels wholesome. Opposite example is in ds2, going from being at sea level then going down 2 stories and being at sea level again. Or earthen peak/ iron keep. Not realistic.

+thevisi0nary I would use the word "authentic". As you say, it's not exactly realistic is the real-world sense, but it feels internally consistent and logically laid out.

InDIGnation The definition of realistic is - sensible and practical.

+Oniix Windrunner Had to rewind and see/hear that again, shit was definitely funny.

+Oniix Windrunner - The sombrero-ed octopus was a nice touch.

+Oniix Windrunner It made things even more funnier... because the joke reflects reality. :p

It's the definition of a shit eating grin.

not going to lie, I used to be that guy

is ER easier? maybe i need to explore more areas first

@@DuckReconMajor I think ER has a much more shallow difficulty curve, with a lot of options in the opening areas so that you aren't necessarily funneled into challenge checks. It's much easier to be over leveled and overpowered, especially once you know what you're doing.

This was a bad thing for hardcore veterns of the series. I was used to grinding for levels to stay competative. I did what I did in other DS games when I found my first good spot for grinding early in the game, and balanced out my skills for the character and upgraded weapons. I was absurdly overpowered for a decent while, and that was totally unintentionally. Although to be fair, despite its gameplay similarities, it isn't a dark souls game in reality, and that needs to be thought about too I guess. @@RamadaArtist

@@DuckReconMajorfar from it. It is NOT super easy by any stretch of the imagination. In my experience, Elden has tested my patience & won. I hear people saying it’s easy, when in reality, even Demon’s Souls is easier than Elden.

@@AlastorAltruistGaming I think ER is one of the hardest From games but it also gives you the most tools to get OP if you want. I hope you stick with it. Also while Demon's Souls has a rough start, if you've played the other games most Demon's Souls bosses fall over pretty easily.

And so begins the spiral, where you wake up from your coma and realize you've been watching every video of Zero Punctuation on repeat for months and your family has already given up on you for dead

***** The Flag? Scotland

His world war 2 game reviews are bad. He just talks about how much he hates Germans. So yes, avoid his WW2 game reviews.

Actually...the reason why most Dark Souls fans, including me, are so defensive about it is because most people a.k.a. casuals and general newcomers tend to think Dark Souls is impossibly difficult or that its story is incomprehensible. I do get defensive when people say it's too hard or that they can't figure out what's going on but I wouldn't really go out of my way to say that the only reason they hate it is because they "apparently suck at it". But then again, if you compare Dark Souls' community to that of Heroes of Newerth or DoTA2, we just may appear a bit less bitchy :P

supereldinho so far the hardest thing game for me is the key bindings on pc and my empty wallet (hence the lack of xbox/ps3 controller). Also, the League of Legends community, just saying, is probably the worst ones ever.

Uneasier Mars Well I myself am a PC gamer, yet I do play Dark Souls with a controller since it truly cannot be played any other way. The key bindings really are pure crap. As for League of Legends...well...let's just say that the atmosphere on Mars is more hospitable than those wretched people.

supereldinho get DSMfix mouse fix....i actually feel OP cause i literally run circles around my enemies making the lock on pointless for me hahaha XDD... and oh yah single button parry is faster then using triggers for parry

use a controller, don't use OP dsmfix thats retarded

Retro reviews is his things once in a while. Because why the fuck not?

Now do Xenoblade

MrSailing101 it's a jrpg and he don't like it there

mywlan2 Not just a JRPG, Xenoblade is a Nintendo exclusive JRPG staring an animesque protagonist with spikey hair, a giant sword, and anger issues, and Critics everywhere love it, Meaning it's the pinnacle of things that we know Yahtzee will bash. Asking Yahtzee to review Xenoblade is like throwing your firstborn son to a pack of wolves , and I plan to bring popcorn. I'll have some popcorn for the review as well of course. (Also of note is that it came out in Australia before Americans ever got it, which is unheard of for most games)

MrSailing101 same thing did happen to mario and luigi dream team bros

Best line in this video.

I agree

Did he ever finish that game?

Personally, I love his Demon's Souls review. Somehow, it captured my initial experience with Dark Souls perfectly. I'm not sure how accurate it was since I haven't played Demon's Souls, but nevertheless, it was hilarious.

Claudiu Ciocian Doesn't answer my question but good to share your thoughts. And unlike a lot of his reviews he did it in a more experienced feel type of way and that first time playing Demon's Souls is the hardest time but so invigorating at the same time.

Sorry if i'm disagreeing with some people's views, but I didn't like demon's souls nearly as much as Dark Souls. It felt more like a standard RPG that was too difficult. Wherein Dark Souls was cruel yet fair, Demon's Souls was irritating and trial and error.

Press select in the stat menu and it tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about the stats, including the fact that intelligence does not improve pyromancies (during loadingscreens you can sometimes see the pyromancy flame and it tells you that you can upgrade it for more pyromancy damage). And it's not the glove (armor) you upgrade for extra pyromancy damage, but the flame (weapon). Not reading what stats do before you invest in them makes you a filthy casual.

Yes that part wasn't well explained, but if you looked at the stats of the pyromancy flame you will notice it does not scale with any stat, indicated by the -/-/-/- where each scaling for str, dex, int, and faith. I agree it was a surprise to me but that's all changed in DS2 atleast.

Blaze Dude, it says "Hit BACK/Select for an explanation" in the menu screen.

I hope they do better with that in Dark Souls II, a lot of things needed to be explained better but I guess you could say that's part of the experience. :/

JustLetMeComment80 The explanation doesn't indicate what it scales with, the MagAdjust is the only thing that slightly indicates pyromancy is separate from sorcery but with the way faith and int scales with their respective spells your first thought would be that pyromancy works in a similar way which I only found out through online when I started playing.

+Jack Madaj I'd call it more zelda than metroidvania

+Krebons1200 Structurally it's Metroidvania. But it's straight up 3D Zelda Swordplay.

More vania than Metroid though I'd say

+farjacko I think the similarities lie mostly in metroidvanias to largely be the first action open world games so anything following it would bear resemblance. That and the fact that they both have a dark setting.

thevisi0nary The typical Metroid stucture is getting new gameplay ablitities to reach new areas, that's not in Dark Souls.

Geahk Burchill Right, right... yeah

***** Well, I personally don't think Yahtzee considers ANYONE his friend, and just sees them as amusing distractions from his misery and stunning good looks.

darkfur3 Don't forget Psychonauts. He loves that game, and for good reason.

BloodyDIMISIS55 I get the feeling that darkfur3 was trying to invoke Yahtzee-esque talky talk.

BloodyDIMISIS55 Those were in yahtzee's own words buttmunch. Welcome to the community. He literally compares him loving certain games as oral sex if you fucking pay attention.

darkfur3 wel...ok then sorry haha

​@@nikolozgilles ah come on squidward

The Souls series is amazing, and as far as I have seen Dark Souls 2 is shaping up to be a really good game. "Once you get used to it" - hehe :D

NTeKLullaby It seems like they're making Dark Souls 2 a lot easier to understand and teaching the basic mechanics better. A lot of people are pissed at that but honestly accessibility is important. I think everyone should play a Souls game all the way through.

HardModeGaming I've heard that the first part has been made very easy, I've heard from people who have fought the Mirror Knight that it is very hard.

HardModeGaming You are correct. The game itself has, by all accounts retained its difficulty (some say it's harder), as well as having in-game mechanics to increase the difficulty ontop of the usual (a Covenant that makes the game harder, for example). But, the game is more accessible. The lore is told in the same manner as the first, which is excellent, but the basic story and the background are explained properly. The tutorial is easy and doesn't feature a boss, but it's also completely optional (lots of fans dislike this, I think it will make new builds less repetitive)

Yeah but the late game is way harder, no invincibility whilst in an animation, permanent chance of being invaded, better enemy AI as well as groups of enemies attacking you more often, more traps and the like, a more varied skill system adds to the depth of the game. It really is looking like it will be a great experience with an even higher skill ceiling. :D

Same thing with Adventure time

Ragnarok9x Oh no... that was my first thought but I didn't wanna touch this one.... which now I have ...damn

I don't get the appeal of the show, no matter how good the characters or story might be, the fanbase vertainly doesn't help it.

Urhg I really wanted to stay out of this, I really did... but guys this isn't a seemingly witty, kinda well thought out cartoon with colorful characters and a sensible tongue and cheek plot. This is Dark Souls, its the exact opposite. Where you can spend maybe an hour and get into MLP most people have put Dark Souls down never to return to it in that same time span. The world is bleak, characters kinda sad or creepy, little direction of what to do, little actual story (other then undead and trying to collect souls, it's more lore than story) What I'm saying is the elements that draw people into that cartoon is not the same elements that draw people into the Souls games. For MLP if you just stick around and watch that's pretty much all it may take for you to get into it. In Dark Soul its takes a lot more then just playing... ineptitude of skill, strategy, experimentation, learning... This is what you have to overcome in Dark Souls. If thats not enough and you still think that these to media are similar in that they require you to endure it to like it. MLP is a television show, it requires no input on your part in order to be interested in it, in Dark Soul... hell In Games in general are all input based. Games are an experience that you have a direct influence on. Hell even the opening prologue of Dark Soul barely makes sense until you are familiar with some of the games concepts... I want nothing to do with MLP, I wont watch it, wont touch it. I get where you're coming from but the requirement level of engagement needed to get into Dark Souls stems far beyond what is needed for MLP. That being said: git gud brony scrubs... git gud

@Gideon Winters ...I’m not deep in the Dark Souls fan base, despite playing the FromSoftware games, but I assume that “git gud” is intended as a compliment. Am I correct?

I honestly wasn't expecting him to ever do this one. He did the Demon's Souls game, and he hated that one. Well, perhaps now he can go back to Demon's Souls and actually enjoy it and appreciate it this time around.

***** both games have a lot of problems that people tout as strong points, but Demons Souls is just chock full of inane design decisions that were ironed out with Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2 later. The biggest problem was how the hub and levels were designed, and half health penalty for staying in soul form is a close second.

What's so special about PS3? It sucked ass on 360 as well.

The fps was worse generally on PS3 whereas xbax had more res issues

Jack Spruce 360 had plenty of frame issues in blight town

I guess it's just my personal experience

***** both had some pretty damn terrible frame issues but the ps3 would get damn near unplayable at times while the xbox just fucked you rougly up the bum

You really shouldn't let that stop you from experiencing an amazing and lovingly crafted game series

@@JackBz nah they arent missing anything by skipping this lame, clunky series

To be honest when you talk to Dark Souls fans you get either one of two people; insufferable maidenless chuds who think they're the lord of cinder's gift to mankind because they figured out how to parry, or brothers in sun who understand the true way for everyone to thrive is through jolly cooperation and there is no in between. Either homies who will carry you through three playthroughs not once tiring of the experience or massive assholes who would rename themselves patches and stand in front of a large hole if their intent wasn't illegal.

⁠I have ran into so many in the maidenless chud category, unfortunately. I feel that, since Elden Ring’s release, FromSoft’s fanboys & their oh-so-fragile egos have gotten even worse as time passed. And it’s like they want you crucified, killed & denied your morning pudding when you do something as simple as point out a flaw in the game’s design that FromSoft SHOULD HAVE fixed long ago. It’s the fact that they dodge legitimate criticisms & point out how YOU are terrible that it makes the fans come off as gaslighters with the complex of a certain French emperor (there’s a complex named after him, just by the by). It’s the fans & their garbage-tier insults, their pretentious “git gud” & “skill issue” mentality, and the fact that they gotta have a response for EVERYTHING, that these idiots vastly outweigh the actual GOOD people in the community. Those in the community who want to spit the same “git gud” argument will show themselves to act like children. @@mdstevens0612

except after beating dark souls once it becomes a cake walk and can be completed kill all optional bosses plus the dlc in 4 hours

And? That's usually what happened with the old games as well. Look at NCS's 1 heart Contra run. "How do you do that? By playing the fucking game." To quote an oh-so wondrous fellow.

Which just further proves my point by this guy with no real formal training doing a 1 heart run of the game.

@@Bourikii2992 I can't. And I have played through all of them.

Umbassa!

Ninurtah RS I don't think he ever actually said that phrase in Dark Souls. It's just one of the pre-made messages you can leave with the orange soapstone.

Review requests go unheard on this channel. Go to the escapist forums. Also he has a schedule there are no requests.

I'm suffering from this too. Whenever I try to play an action game I start saying things like "What is this? A game for idiots?", "This game's difficulty is so artificial, cheap, and unfair I'm gonna die.", "Damn you weak atmosphere and stupid story!", "So, mashing one button is all I need to do to win?". All games have bigger faults in my eyes now.

Welcome to my life of the past 12 years. I've been lucky to enjoy 2 AAA titles a year for the last 5 years at least.

He's talking about difficulty not depth nor complexity .

josan14basket He also says how easy it was at the end. So, no.

....im actually impressed that Yahtzee thinks that the end part is easy... cause its not

He called the first Portal game "The earthly manifestation of Christ." He likes Portal, Saints Row 2 and possibly 4, Half-Life, Dark Souls, and he's accepting of Portal 2, Saints Row. I likely don't have the Saints game spelled right. Might be Saint's or Saints'.

he also enjoyed resistance 3. and he loved the shit out of Shadow of the Colossus

He also likes Psychonauts, Spec Ops the Line, and Fantasy World Dizzy.

Also in this very review he said he loved Symphony of the Night. Pay attention, people!

Jack Young You can't forget his love for Silent Hill 2 as well. He seems to be very picky about a lot of things (it's his job to do so), but appreciates games that strive to do something and do it right, even if there are flaws in other ways, they can be overlooked with great gameplay and/or effective atmosphere/story.

And I know which one he means.

OtakuUnitedStudio is he talking about the ring the allows you to find gwyndolyn or the rusted iron ring? or is he talking about some other obscure ring hidden as far away from the place it’s used for that I don’t know about?

I thought he was talking about the ring in the great hollow

+Ryan Monaco For me it scratches the same itch as achievement hunting for really hard achievements

+Ryan Monaco Yeah, I'm playing Diablo 3 for the first time right now and it's depressing how easy the game is. Playing on hardcore is like playing on softcore of previous games.

Love the games so much, but now I'm gonna have the same problem as at the end of the video, everything else is just.....weak in comparison. Time to buy all the soul games, from Demon to Souls to Bloodbourne (similar setup, I don't care if story isn't linked/ related) and anything resembling it until this obsession ends.

Daniel H. I'll keep it in mind, but at the rate I'm going I'll have passed a birthday or two before I get to that point.

It's called dopamine addiction and its curable

Eventually...

And there are so many ways to engage in pvp too! My personal favorite method is just sitting in the forest and waiting for others to invade.

You remember that Yahtzee HATES multiplayer?

Yup.

He actually sort of didn't. He turned around and started letting PVP happen and enjoyed it too. It only took place after this review though.

Sorry to disappoint, but I can't. I've tried, but I'm too damn amazing to die.

kody Smith Amazing? You're a fucking disgrace kid. I can only hope and pray that you never find a girl who is willing to accept your seed. We don't need anymore losers like you running around.

***** A girl like me you mean? Seriously though, all the problems in the world and you're worried about us geeks having kids?

I wouldn't suggest arguing with this guy. He is too concerned with protecting his masculinity to see things any other way. He was probably raised by singleminded parents. Not to insult them, but that is usually what happens. Btw, I just wanted to let you know that it sounded like you were willing to "accept my seed". I'm not going anywhere with this, just thought it was funny. lol

You'd be surprised my good sir. Women are very accepting when your open about it. Some even find it impressive.

Taurus wasn't on a roof, he was on a bridge.

He was on a wall actually :P

I'd be thinking gargoyles, but they're easy as shit. Maybe yahtzee.. Maybe yahtzee is casul

MagicalWafflesOfLove If you don't know about the second gargoyle and have bad damage they can be really hard. Multiple enemy bosses always have high difficulty if you are going in blind and the fact gargoyles both ambush you halfway and change their moveset up make them annoying to get past blind.

The game doesn't become non-linear until after the gargoyles either, so it's clearly them. Also he said as much in an article.

Given it's a long game in bargain bins it's not worth renting at all; you can buy it at nearly rental price.

You bought Bravely Default expecting Dark Souls type experience? I'd say your expectations are way out of order.

TIL: JRPGs and WRPGs should be expected to be the same thing. Okay...

TheSilentAmp Dark Souls is a JRPG.

TheMurderCircus I honestly do NOT see how, and that is incredibly unbelievable.

Yeah, because now he knows what exactly they were talking about.

yet he keeps comparing everything to it when demons souls is the actual first game. Its kind of annoying.

Praise the Sun!

Gooble Gobble!
