See, the thing I like about Gundyr is that if you know the game, he’s not hard at all. If you don’t know the game though, he’ll force you to learn it in order to beat him. He’s a really good test of the basic fundamentals and requires that you be at least moderately prepared for the rest of the game.

In Dark Souls 3 I have felt that. The Ithryl knights (probably spelt wrong), the ones that are across that big bridge with the force field, were really tough. I really thought I hit the wall.

I'm sure birthing a child, making your family proud or becoming a successful business owner gives an enormous sense of satisfaction. I would argue overcoming those knight gave an equal or higher level of satisfaction. The Dancer of Boreal (again probably spelt wrong) however felt like she let me win. That boss can be passive and just allow you to get lots of hits in or will be aggressive AF and attack with immensely long combos one after the other and never let you catch a break.

Then the player breaks down, "Please no..more..invasions","Fine, I'll just play the game as a dead person". Also entering a pvp area like belltower or cathedral. "Oh, so this is the fabled fighting area...!" Proceeds to be invaded nonstop and unable to enter the next zone due to the fog wall.

Inb4 "oh, another player! Hello, friend, lets coopera-- **murdered**"
Because it's time to jolly invasion!
Hope to see a skit.
Invaded by thier first red player and killed. Then invaded again and sees a blue player and assuming he's evil, tries to kill him. Then gets frustrated that he can't. Proceeds to try to communicate with said blue player. Blue player points and the player says "The real enemy is right behind me isn't he?" And gets backstabbed.
Then add in purple. Then an NPC. Then the player breaks down, "Please no..more..invasions","Fine, I'll just play the game as a dead person".
Also entering a pvp area like belltower or cathedral. "Oh, so this is the fabled fighting area...!" Proceeds to be invaded nonstop and unable to enter the next zone due to the fog wall.
I am really looking forward to seeing more episodes of this series!
1:29 Parry
*Sekiro PTSD Intensifies*
"B is roll"
"Yeah I know that"
Do you though? Didn't see you test it out :p
I just really wanna see a video of Ben rolling around like real Dark Souls.
parry and roll, the only way to survive DS 🤣
@@gecko2.617 I beat dark souls 2 and 3 multiple times before learning how to parry reliably lol
@@karbon6770 Yeah you kind of have to go out of your way to learn it since not every weapon/shield can, it's high risk, and you only really need it for pvp and 2 bosses in ds3.
@@karbon6770 yeah in DS3 I never used parry too 😆
@@dieguy3080 in pvp (in DS3) parry works only against noobs AND (not OR) with good connection. Otherwise it is too high risk.
*Gets backstabbed*
“Welcome to Dark Souls!”
Lol I swear I heard that somewhere before! Hehe, nice to see some toon’s never change :)
Lol that was my favorite part I was dead laughing 🤣
I believe it's an achievement message upon dying for the first time in Dark Souls II
I really needed this, my grandma passed away today and I was scrolling youtube after getting her affairs in order and couldn't find anything. Then I saw this on my subscribed part, thanks. I really love your content, my favorite episodes are when Ben comes into Playtec and you all do a script.
I'm so sorry for your loss :( I hope you can find more videos like this to help you get through it :)
The sound it makes when he parries makes this even better
This is almost exactly the same experience like mine when I first played Dark Souls! :D
Somewhere far away, Seath the scaleless is rubbing his hands together manically...
*sees Dark Souls player gets stabbed in the back*
"Oh that takes me back..."
Took his back too. BA DUM TSHH
My* back
@@kevinlopezobrien5366 looks like we had the same joke with different executions
I laughed, and died a little inside, when he said "that's frustrating"
"MORNIN'! NICE DAY FOR DYING AIN'T IT? HUHAAAAARGHHH!"
Baeling The fisherman it's a outcast with 99 on all attributes.
I wanted to see his reaction to the Demon at he beginning, but that endig, was great.
Ben really is doing an amazing job with this one. I love it and can't wait for more!
Is that Ben he doesn’t look like Ben the real Ben is shorter has glasses and a mustache
'Why am I so tired? '
Me asf 24/7 not even playing the game
"Is this.. TOO EASY for you?"
.........you know I actually think the game seems pretty challenging! ....................... _>

@@Fostersauce okay i have no clue, so players can leave stuff written everywhere for others to see?
This is unbelievably perfect.. As a kid it took me resetting the first "Souls" game 6 times before I made it out of the tutorial...

@@lonewolf501st9 "I've played every soulsborne game and have never died ONCE. The series is too ez4me idk why people says its hard, they just suck"
@Ankit Chandola I remember being stuck on bed of chaos in DS1 that I quit for almost a month. Picked it back up and got it after a few more tries. I always die at least 6 times to that boss in a playthrough no matter what lol
I got bloodborne for Christmas last year, tried it twice and never got to the first boss, so I ignored it until June of this year.
Beat the game three times using the fun glitches and having fun being overpowered early game.
I beat it legit the first time, though.
I started playing this game for the first time yesterday and thanks to this video, I was decent debut! More of this series please!
Total number of times Ben, the Dark Souls' player, has died in the game: 3
Dude keep count through out all the episodes that would be cool
