souls 2 is cool sadly retards are constandly attacking the ds2 servers and often shut them down
‘Oh, you went through Smelter Demon, interesting.’
Chris: 👁👄👁
32:41 *gets asked to dinner by a woman*
"No, I'm gaming." 🗿
Pro gamer moves
Elden Ring players when you fall from a few dozen feets and your ankles actually hurt like hell: Surprised Pika.
I love DS2 but the fall damage is like you are a arthritic great great grandfather, I could drop a baby off the same height you die and youd be fine
@@blakesimmons5130 Hey man all Im saying is I want whatever magical bunghole the dude in Elden has
It's strange seeing someone both have tons of game knowledge and the execution of a first playthrough. Still faster than me though.
From time to time everyone should replay ds2 to really appreciate the quality of life in their other games. I mean ds2 it's a good game but they really added some tedious and kinda unnecessary mechanics here and there.
@@romanbruh9727 I mean, DS2 itself adding a bunch of QoL over DS1, and even DS3 removed some of that QoL.
@@tomasstargamer6308There's only so much quality of life you can have before it becomes power creep.
@@romanbruh9727 ds2 has better quality of life than bloodborne. I don't think that's the thing you should be pointing out
@@bahencio i mean i had no major problems with bloodbornes mechanics compared to ds2,i could easily dodge atacks without getting hit mid animation cause ny adp was low and the combat had a really and i mean really good feel to it. Bloodbornes biggest issue were some runbacks that were basically entire areas to reach the boss door and a minor one was having bullets and healing as farmables even tho i personally never had issue with not having enough of them early game and late game you have so much echoes it isn't a big deal.
Seeing Chris simply destroy any ER run and then seeing Chris... trying his best in DS2 are two completely amazing experiences.
Thanks for this one man. Hope to see more content like this one.
Each Souls game has its own jank and DS2 may have some of the weirdest of it but I still love this game regardless, also powerstancing in this game is way cooler than ER's
Agreed
As a halberd user I more than disagree with your statement on powerstancing.
@Bill Clinton Enjoyer reality? Dark Souls 1 and 3 fanboys are just funny
Ds2 power stance is dog shit compared to elden ring lmao. Seems like someone’s mad elden ring makes ds2 look like shit
@awhellnah__ I'm not a big ds2 fan, I do like it tho, but saying that only ds2 has a lot of jank and isn't comparable is laughable and being purposefully obtuse.
Damn done in by the prowling magus. As someone who loves and plays Ds2 pretty often highly enjoyable watching this one and watching someone not too familiar with ds2's quirks.
The biggest problem with ds2 that i personally had wasn't the clunky movement or not knowing that you need adp but the absence of i-frames on boss gates. Not the first playthrough while exploring and killing most enemies but on repeat ones or on bosses which moves I'm still learning. Getting stunlocked by 3 normal enemies at some boss that i keep dying to is the most tilting thing in all fromsoft games for me.
It honestly helped me to know the fog gates worked like that in advance. Every boss run I did in the game would be methodical - actually routing a path where I could kill off the problem enemies and get to the fog gate easily.
@@DanielFerreira-ez8qd it makes you have a different approach but honestly if i die even 2 times to a boss idgaf about the area or enemies i just wanna get to him as soon as possible to learn his moves. That was my favorite thing about ER honestly, being able to retry a boss basically instantly made even the "hard" ones bearable and enjoyable in the end.
@Bill Clinton Enjoyer The "B team" memes are so stupid, there is no "B team", and even then, the geniuses of the "A team" gave us Izalith, both Demon Ruins, Tomb of the Giants, New Londo and Ariandel.
@Bill Clinton Enjoyer It's all From Software, any shortcomings are studio-wide faults.
@@tomasstargamer6308 well, literally speaking there is a "B team", but in general, yeah. Any ideas will get scuffed if you're under poor direction, which is what happened in Dark Souls 2. An easy mistake that a lot of developers do, and it still came out to critical and financial success.
Souls 2 (pre-SOTFS version) is unironically my favourite souls game. Had such a blast going through each of the DLCs blind as they launched.
I do like the new content added in Scholar, but they did screw up some of the enemy placements compared to vanilla imo.
@Bill Clinton Enjoyer I couldn't pick a best souls game if I tried lol. They all have their own unique gameplay twists and gimmicks, for better and for worse.
Seeing you not just totally own at the game is a new experience
I know that the rapier is the best weapon "technically", but most bosses are weak to strike damage and lightning damage, so a Lightning Mace can shred almost all the bosses.
Yeah I just know some speedruns use the rapier for most of the run, so I just went with that lol
Tbh i find the rapier pretty bad for a casual playthrough. It's great for killing bosses quickly but traversing the levels is usually more difficult than the bosses anyways in this game, so imo heavy weapons that stagger basic enemies are better
Ah yes Dark Souls 2 Scholar of the Giga Chad
Happy to see I'm not the only one struggling with hitting the Persuer with the ballista. He's so good at dodging OML!
For a run that seemed to have a pretty unrehearsed route, this was super close. I’m curious how different the strategies were.
I really enjoyed the older darksouls games its alot of fun watching you play them after a while
Ah, the joys of de-rusting. (And infinite hitstun, mid-swing tracking, ADP, soul memory, Monster Hunter hitboxes, fog gates sans i-frames, gank spawns, etc. etc. )
Fun to see an unoptimized race, hope you can dream up some more unconventional runs.
The run to the bosses is harder than the bosses themselves
Based take on Looking Glass Knight actually. Such a beautiful arena, and the fight is honestly pretty great (if a little easy).
yay best souls 2 content, honestly wish there were more videos on it since i enjoy playing/watching it a tonne, this video really scratched an itch and was super well made :)
6:13 I fought this dude so many times and have never seen that move before, wow.
12:05 nice save
Finally, a new video of my fav content creator. Luvv ya pal.
that title is going to cause a riot
Haters gonna hate
@@star0chris like if you don't quite hate yourself why even play fromsoft games?
They hate him because he tells the truth
@QuasarOne it's like master baiting with hands vs sandpaper.
@@123Yandanevery dark souls game hurts a bit.
A tip. Pursuer is a strafe right boss fight
It's very odd to watch a star0chris video that actually makes me feel good about my own gameplay, but then again I'm a weirdo whose most played Fromsoft game is DS2
12:05 yeah, yeah, the one with the... your face man after that is so funny, no words needed lol.
My boi got slapped into oblivion by the Semon of Dong
Great video as always, cheers
starochris try to kill pursuer with ballista challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
the way you do it is you bait the lunge attack, roll forward over that pile of boxes and then immediately run to the ballista and fire without thinking, dont even bother aiming
Less goo, always a great night when chris posts 😎
That gank squad at 1:40 is what made me quit the game for a couple months before coming back lol
Still playing through DS1 for the plat. Definitely so hyped to play this amazing ass game!
Good luck with that, it's so hard to get platinum in every ds game because 1-3 all have online covenant related stuff, and ds1 is pretty dead when it comes to that kinda stuff. I got plat ds3 and ds2 only because I found looking for group posts on Xbox that were willing to help. All 4 of them lol
@@genesisosuna haha nice, never platted DS1. Platted DS2, Bloodborne and Elden Ring tho :)
I would love to see a ds2 all boss run. Awesome video by the way❤️
People may say a lot of things a lot about ds2, but imo majula is the best hub out of all the games. The nexus being a close second, especially if you have patches to sell you infinite grass.
Best Souls 2 videos are always super enjoyable
DS2 Is truly a masterpiece. I Just miss more active multiplayer
Suffering AND Dark Souls 2?
Perfection
Everybody love Emerald Herald
6:06 I have never seen this attack in my entire life.
Damn. I love this game.
Did you know that the B Team WHO worked on this wanted you to Always drain the 15 respawns so your lvl is high enough and you have a Clean path to the Boss. That's why you have no i frames on the fog wall. I hated that🤣
The B Team who worked on DS2 also made Sekiro btw because the main team was into ER already
@@m.h.4907 untrue, the director of ds2 is also the executive producer of ER
@@Celatra director yes, the Devs clearly not. Fromsoftware stated that in an Interview that the DS2 team worked on Sekiro, because Elden Ring development started in the same time and they needed the bigger and better team for it
True Sigma move to deny dinner for the grind.
Van Halen says Jump!, Chris... 🤣
Did you by any chance ever finish Sekiro? I would have loved to see you play through the rest of the game.
Yeah links to the rest of the first playthrough are in the description of the first, I just had the videos as unlisted instead of public
i love DS2
“How ? I Dodged!” My man the dodge animation have 3 in a slow ass game with lingering hit box and input reading , good luck
(For reference ER have 13 on dodge) my advice for you is to level EDP .. i m-mean ADP
I was told ER had 26 s on dodge
@@broccolin hah? I didn’t know that !, I thought it’s the same as Ds3 , damn
It's the same, the 13 frames are with the 30fps logic, so 60fps is 26.
DS2 rolls can have more roll I frames than any other souls. It just starts low, like an RPG should.
@@christophercollins3632 yes, any normal RPG game should have that , not fromsoft games because they are not normal RPG
great video
This game is nothing but pain from start to finish and yet it's still my favorite.
Nice video, I’m a little confused on the rules though. At the beginning you said you had to get the 4 OLD souls, and showed them on screen, but getting the old versions of the souls requires you beat the great ones in NG+, or using a bonfire ascetic on the bonfire, so you would’ve fought them twice but that isn’t shown in the video
Yeah I just went off the speedrun category "old souls" which is what we did in the race, idk why they call it that lol
@@star0chris fair enough lmao
It really is the best souls game, common chris W. Also congrats on being the only youtuber/streamer I've ever seen die to Magus + Congregation!
Thank you, it's an honor o7
I don't wanna be that guy, but you didn't get the "old lord souls," you just got the normal lord souls. The old lord souls are granted on NG+ (or with a bonfire aesthetic, which is what I assumed was gonna happen) and are the lord souls you obtained in DS1
ah okay, well the speedrun category for it is "old souls" so I just went off of that lol
@@star0chris You're good, it was a really good and fun video! I was just confused when I noticed you weren't getting any of the old lord souls lol
You should race ymfah next. :)
33:14 cleric beast
Lol this was fun. I love ds2 but i also acknowledge that it has its fair share of issues
Mobs or "adds" ftw
Am I the only one who is screaming right now that you can get Old Lords souls only on ng+? I thought that you'd have to find 4 bonfire aesthetics and kill main bosses twice. Still fun run tho
Nah you're the third person to point it out lol
I was just going off of what the speedrun category is called (Old Souls), which is like the same route in terms of requirements
Best Souls 2 babyyyyyy
I realy enjoyed a non Elden ring video thanks man
Finally ds2 video🔥
Finally DS2
As a Level 838 in DS2 I enjoy seeing the pain of others *smurks*
Hot take, I like ds2 more than ds1, but just slightly, the DLC makes it for me for ds2
without ds2’s dlc would you like ds1 better?
@@BrilliantBouncingBall, thinking about it, I probably would still like ds2 better, but I do love how broken you can become in ds1
Dark Souls II Bingo Brawlers when?
DS2 is not the most fun souls to play, but surely the most fun to watch lol
Greeting from Deutschland/Germany
It's greetings
wait until you find out ds3 came out
I'm going to ask the question asked on every ds2 video
Is this Scholar or vanilla?
Aldia + enemy placements imply Scholar of the First Sin edition.
Scholar
Aldia is a DLC addition, and was in Vanilla.
Which one is the earthen peak lady?
The one that sells rocks.
I read "BEST dark souls game" but then I saw you were just playing DS2. That's gotta be some kind of false advertising!
POG NEW VIDEO POG POG POG
Chris I love you man but this was physically painful to watch XD
This has reminded me why I don't play Dark Souls 2
Ds2 lightmode
Do more videos from dark souls1/2/3
Cool Video tho
Dark souls 2
My humor is broken that just a guy with the albinoric profile and saying something without explaining or elaborate on anything, it make laugh
I love dark souls 2 and personally think other than adp that it is better than dark souls 3
i did not enjoy this more relaxed style of race (i havent even begun the video)
I was new to FromSoft when Sekiro released and I became obsessed with it. I got the 100% on that, then did the same for Elden Ring, then went to Bloodborne, then just finished up Dark Souls. I bought Dark Souls 2, played it for around 3 hours and put it back down, this game is awful. It makes the #1 sin a game can make to me, it just isn't fun at all. I had fun learning the other games in the trial by fire stuff, but this one just doesn't have it for me.
I know that isn't a new take, and I know there's people who like it which is awesome, but I personally think it's pretty bad and they enhanced all the bad parts of DS1 and took out most of the good stuff. I'll be skipping it and going straight onto DS3 instead.
See I straight up despise this game. I have like 40 hours in... I know I made it through iron keep... I know I made it to giant dragon in that godforsaken place... I know I made it to a snowy place and then said "yeah no seriously fuck this game." To this day, it's the only souls game I've not finished, and I never will. At least it makes for interesting content XD
Yeah not every game is for everyone, nothing wrong with disliking a game; can totally understand the flaws lol
Is that not the DLC area?
@@DanielFerreira-ez8qd yeah, which is why I can understand quitting the game there, especially from the horses that chase you down lol
Oh god i Beat that Shit Game too😅 ITS Not slow but rather restrictiv, Long potion, high Fall DMG, slow attacks and movement. IT IS clunky af😅 yeah i Had some fun with IT but is the worst from Software Game in my opinion😅
It is true that among all 3, gameplay mechanics wise, DS2 is the best. I do also prefer its map style but I know that is a very objective opinion in a world where DS1 exists. DS3 is trash through & through.
true+ i also like the map style because of the multiple ways of completing the game
God, I hate this game. Lmao.
I just reached drangleic castle in my first playthrough and I’ve hated almost every moment of this game. Yet I still play.
First
Sorry you were forced to play ds2
Don't be, I love this game :) although yeah it definitely does have its flaws lmao
