This was very enjoyable seeing some play this game for the first time and realizing the interconnectedness of the world and the gameplay mechanics as they progress. Like a drug addict seeing someone shoot up for the first time.
Schwifty just not collecting his lost souls even when he runs over them and getting into a situation he knows will likely kill him is just so painful. And yet I am enjoying this immensely. Also, the fact that your idea of not swearing is to swear in German is just amazing hehe.
I love the lore. It's so convoluted and practically impossible to figure out if you just play it, you have to actively try to get nuggets of info. Makes new game+ really interesting too.
This is incredible, I can't wait to watch more of this! Watching you experience this game rekindled my love of Dark Souls. I hope you continue and play all the From Soft games. They are almost(DS2) all masterpieces.
Hey Mr Alt Shwift X, loved watching this and very much hope you do play through the souls series, maybe even bloodborne if you get the chance. Progress is slow at the start but you've been picking it up pretty quickly, once you beat dark souls, the others will be much easier, the first barrier to entry is the hardest. I'd also love if we could see soulsborne lore videos from you one day
Dark souls and ASOIAF are my two favourite things, and next january what is essentially a collaboration between those two things is being released. OoOoOoOoh elden ring !
There's this man named Mister Miazaki. And he created the world building in five games, so he took a break and made some guy named Martin do it for him in one. Lol Also hey man, great video. You should do ds3 or Bloodborne to see the modern From world building
Dark Souls, Berserk, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Lord of The Rings, and The Elder Scrolls are my favorite works of fantasy of all time. Berserk specifically is my all time favorite work of art period.
I could be wrong, but the way you say your name, and the baner on top of the stream, I think your also Alt Schwift X. If you are that means your also VaatiVidya and at 2:37 you say you don't care about lore like that Alt Shift X pleb, but how can you not, your VaatiVidya. This is too confusing for me, I think I've gone to far down into the iceberg.
Super loved the stream hope you continue. The best part of dark soul is literally when you don't know what the fuck is going on and you die all the time. Nothing like your first playthrough. Hope you read this: locking enemies is super usefull you should do it, running is a legitimate strategy, parrying is a pro gamer move but using the shield is effective and easy, also scout the location after killing the enemies a lot of hidden doors and objects.
Honestly, my first time playing DS I got so frustrated I didn't even get that far and needed a good month or so to recover enough to try again (and then also took like 6h probably), so I am very impressed with Schwifty.
I know a bunch of people already said it but if you liked this one you should check out the sequels. 2 gets a bad rap but it did a lot of things right. Either way 10/10 content a always shift man
It kinda hurts me how he never collects his souls and how he forgot he had fanta at the end when he tried getting past the dragon… but stillthis is pretty chill for a dark souls stream.
You might want to consider tailoring the RUclips vods a little for RUclips proper. Editing down this 2 hour video to 30-45m and keeping just the gold would probably help propigate this kind of content more
Naah I like the streaming. Though paying someone else to make some highlights would probably get some eyeballs and point people to the streams. Don’t know how worth it it would be.
I love how he is truly clueless about dark souls but his mindset and attitude are great for approaching the game.
Everyday we get closer to a vaaty and alt collaboration
Are they not the same person?
it would be like listening to someone have a conversation with themself
Don't give me hope
I love that Schwift canonically believes in WWII propaganda about carrots improving your eyesight
1:08:02 the pure comedy of Schwift gathering his thoughts on swearing just before he gets hit by a flaming barrel is not lost on me
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Man, whenever he discovers estus flasks, it's gonna be a game changer. Love you, Schwift.
Edit: Literally a minute later. Excellent.
I'm so glad that i'm finally at the bottom of the Alt Shift X ice berg now that i have found this page. I have become bald Arya.

Alright who’s the monster that told him to upgrade resistance
Bruh xD

honestly impressed for how quickly schwift picked up his first souls game all while providing entertaining commentary. hope we see more of this ✨
Dark souls and tangents!!! This is my favorite game
I wonder if that nerd alt shift x will make a lore video about dark souls
Schwifty please, I need more than just 1 dark souls stream. Atleast 1 more please, you are all I have.
Now THIS is what I've been waiting for. I'll watch it when I get off work latwr
Loving this, Mr. Schwift. Been watching that nerd Shift X’s GoT videos from way back, this is much better. Please continue the stream
"If you shaved hagrid" LMAO
yo the lore in DS is unironically some of the best in the world when it comes to any video game. don't @ me
Not really no.
@@Raidoton To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Dark Souls

Try reading Berserk
37:12 “so i understand there’s a lot of lore of this game”

Man I really enjoyed this
this is so fun pls continue !!:)
Altshwift has the best fucking jokes, unlike that Altshift dude
I mean, I guess you could say that Tywin probably isn’t super fond of crossbows.
Hagrid is pretty resilient tho tbh he shrugs off those aurors
Bloodborne will make you even more spookered schwift

Omg the orange tangent made me chuckle.

You should check out the opening Cinematic, it's pretty cool and lore-y
Dunno if you were kidding but the line about hating crossbows is from jaime when traveling with brienne
We can all tell how scared you are when you're doing your ocular patdown.
Super loved the stream hope you continue. The best part of dark soul is literally when you don't know what the fuck is going on and you die all the time. Nothing like your first playthrough.

Great work man, took me 6 hours to got as far as you did :P

I've watched it all now, I have like 400 things I want to say
Ahhhhh, my interests aline and the prophecy is fulfilled. Cheers 🍻
It kinda hurts me how he never collects his souls and how he forgot he had fanta at the end when he tried getting past the dragon… but stillthis is pretty chill for a dark souls stream.
When he said dark souls is ez...
Oh you see you see....
Do you read though, if he dived into the lore he would love it I think
Play all of em. ❤️❤️
This was a frikin YEAR AGO! What?!
YO WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE A REAL PERSON
1:07:11 fingers crossed for The breakdown video tho … 🤞🏻
ITS HAPPENING
Please play more

PART 2

This was a stream on RUclips not twitch
That's a lot of extra work. And this is just goofy fun stuff that he makes. Not worth the extra work.
Naah I like the streaming. Though paying someone else to make some highlights would probably get some eyeballs and point people to the streams. Don’t know how worth it it would be.
I beg to differ
