    OH AND BTW! This video doesn't include anything about Demon Souls, mostly because I still haven't been able to get a PS5 and I'm assuming I have to perform a dark ritual to even play one, so it didn't feel right talking about it. I'm sure the new Demon Souls fits my feelings towards the entire genre, but I figured I'd explain why I never mentioned it. MAN DO I WANNA PLAY DEMON SOULS THO :'(

      I actually haven't really felt this. Dark souls is tough but it feels super fair. And while it doesnt "hold your hand", the consistency in outcome and readable attacks do "teach" you how to play. Compare that to most NES games. Fricken battle toad. That game is hard. Dark souls is an education.

    omg the experience I had with dark souls remastered today is incredible. I wanna try a fist weapon only run, so I went with it. I got invaded on the Hellkite bridge, and the invader just dropped me some humanities and left.
    When I entered the Depth, I got invaded again. This time the invader saw that I only had two caestus, he also took off the weapon and used caestus! and then we began a pure fist fight and it was awesome!
    When I got to the bonfire in the Depth, I summoned a sunbro, who immediately dropped me 5 goddess blessings, mask of the father, a +5 giant's gloves, and the soul of Gwen???! Also on the way back from killing the caster I fell into the basilisk pit (casul, I know), but somehow made it back and reunited with the sunbro, and killed kirk when he invaded.
    I'm still having a hard time believing all this happened just this morning. This game and its community is incredible.

    i originally avoided the souls games cause the difficulty of them felt really intimidating to me at the time. didn't want to throw money away on something where i can't get past the first boss. but when i tried bloodborne, i was hooked. beating that first boss even if it was just the cleric beast, just felt so good, i just felled a soulsborne boss. with each slain boss i got more confident not in the mindset of this is easy, but moreso, i CAN do this. beating the game i wanted to experience more of the games. demons souls, then dark souls 1. beating ornstein and smough, was such a rush, i wanted to keep going, i wanted to see the next boss, the next area. i would come close to breaking down wanting to raise the white flag, but that fire inside refused to go out, it was always, just one more try. each try i do better than the last, getting farther and farther till i finally punch through. areas that were kicking my butt at the start, become a lot easier after surviving the trial it puts you through. its always pushing you to be better, till you finally beat it and get to see the credits roll. in the end i always feel pumped up and ready for another souls game or a new game plus run after completing a souls game, really wanting to see just how far i can go.
    playing other games i just can't help but notice how the difficulty just feels wrong. either the health bars are just too ridiculously huge or they just have way too much defense and i am just basically tickling the boss with a feather duster no matter how strong my equipment is. i dunno going back to some other games its just more noticeable. its not that they aren't fun anymore, its just hard to ignore.
    i do agree though, you have to play these games to really understand its appeal and how it handles its difficulty.

      I Beat the game on Ultra Nightmare and let me tell you.
      Doom eternal is the exact opposite of dark souls.
      On your own You are the most Powerful being on the game even if i throw in the most Threatening enemies in the game (imo Mancubus and Whiplash are a bit threatening) You'll still kill them easily While in dark souls There's no way You'll Beat a gwyn With a Broken straight sword unless you mastered the art of parrying.
      Doom eternal works Because The demons Work together to fight you. with some demons Specifically designed for support while others focused on Pressure
      the Carcass on his own Is pathetically weak even on nightmare he doesnt deal much damage.
      keep in mind the weaker enemies only need very few hits to put you in low health
      The Prowler While he is universally Hated he plays a Huge role sense on his own he does jack shit He Becomes an actual threat when you are running away. And Looking for chainsaw food
      Cacodemons Are Scammers. when you know they exist They are easily killed but if they sneak into you. its Game Over.
      Archviles Are Instantly Killed And for a Good reason But they Leave you vulnerable to The weaker enemies. (Gargoyle melee attacks is something to be taken seriously though.)

      It also has something called a "token" system, where enemies can only attack you a certain number of times within a period, each attack represented by a token. Also only a certain number of enemies can attack you at the same time. On higher difficulties, the number of tokens the enemies have increase, making them more aggressive

Just defeated Godwrick and Margit who both wrecked my shit haha (probably because I'm too stubborn to use ashes summons during main storyline boss fights). At first I thought Margit was a little bullshit as he barely has any openings you can attack but it was my mistake to treat the bosses here like those of dark souls and bloodborne since they feel more like Sekiro bosses. The bosses here mostly act depending on how you deal with them instead of randomly selecting an attack from their moveset most of the time, and several openings only reveal themselves if you handle their attacks in a specific way.

The adrenaline, the focus, and the ever lumming presence of failure, all wrapped up in a gorgeous looking game with fantastical designs for both people and monsters alike.

      After dark souls 3 I played 1 and when I met them there and died I thought "ok it's not that bad, I can easily return to my souls" just to realize my HEALTH WAS HALVED. I may or may not have stopped playing dark souls 1 until a year later. and I've never died of basilisks since

    The best way I've heard Dark Souls described is that it's not "difficult" it's "punishing." Dark Souls is very clear about what its rules are. If you don't follow them, well, you died. Dark Souls can be mastered while "hard mode" in other games just feels like taking a walk in Demon's Souls' Valley of Defilement.
