Ive beaten this game a dozen times... watched several hundred Souls vids... this is my first time hearing "poopwalk" in this context. I love this game.
"Ladders work by counting how many steps you climb" WHAT I swear, even working in the QA (albeit not for a long time), the amount of sheer jank in video games never ceases to amaze me
That's like the opposite of jank. It's a rather elegant solution. It's counting animation cycles. If it didn't the only other real option would be to have a dedicated climbing animation for each ladder. Instead you just define per-ladder how many times the animation is supposed to play.
@@TheKrangled you could also use a trigger box at the top and bottom of the ladder that queues the get off animation, which is probably the normal way to do it. What you're talking about is probably how it works in games where ladder climbing is a single uncontrollable action. Using trigger boxes allows the map designers to just pop down a box without having to assign ladder length parameters to every single ladder in the game while also preventing issues that arise when animations don't play properly. This is all my opinion btw, I'm not a professional dev.
A wrinkled man, slowly waddling towards you, poop nearly in his pants, wounds mystically appear on you once he reaches you as he astrally projects his sword through will alone.
This is the only extensive gameplay footage of dark souls I have ever seen. As far as I know this is basically the normal experience but with slower movement.
I've been poopwalking my whole life. Only moving half the distance despite taking just as much time. Falling off all the ladders that everyone else can climb. And I've never stopped looking hilarious and moronic. On the bright side, I'm very regular.
How dedicated of him, truly the chosen one, shat his pants in the cell but chose to continue his quest without changing a single time, every time he rested at a bonfire he further smeared his problem only to still get up and continue once more, what a hero. 🤣🤣🤣
I love how all the animations look exactly like someone with unintentionally filled pants trying to beat Dark Souls except for the chugging estus animation. It looks like how a chill dude would smoothly gesture at you with a drink in hand, like casually greeting a friend who showed up at the party
I feel like you fully enjoyed saying "poop-walk" throughout this and I fully enjoy hearing it every time. I loved watching him skidoodling. The player character looks so cute like this.
I almost cannot watch this video i promise im more mature than this but this god slaying character walking around like hes carrying a log in his trousers has me creasing
When i finished the video i could not beleive that it was 47min long ! That was really good, Thank you for answering a question nobody has ever really thought about
Incredible economy of movement, there. The reflexes of a grand master. Constipato knows you don't need flashy animations and over-the-top maneuvers. A flick of the wrist earns a parry, and up comes the sword. At long last, he has defeated Gwyn and ... oh, oh dear, he's really letting loose in the Kiln, oh no.
An immortal snail is chasing after you. If it touches you at any point, you will instantly die. However, this snail moves at half the speed of a normal snail, and is moving at a straight line towards you unimpeded by walls, traps, or barriers.
I know a lot of skill and planning went into this run but I can't hear any of that over my horrible cackling watching "poopwalk" I had no clue this glitch existed and it is hands down the funniest thing I've seen in a souls game.
Finally, his journey had come to an end. The Chosen Undead could finally relax his cheeks, and take a dookie so pure, so soul cleansing, the gods wept in the face of such joy.
Ah, so this is the legendary figure DS2 Falconers learned their choreography from. Laugh all you want, but shitting your pants is evidently peak performance in Dark Souls world!
Nearly 13 years of playing this game, and I've only ever heard of this glitch and the name today. I actually had something similar happen to me in my very first playthrough, where an enemy landed on my shield, and it glitched my movement, but I never looked up whether the glitch had a name or was well known lol. I love that its called poop walking.
Never knew what this was, and so glad i discovered it. The way your character attacks looks like hes got a turtlehead coming out and he's clenching for his life lmfao
Oh. My. God. Poopwalk bug animations is so hilarious is should be illegal. Like i laughed once at the beginning about how silly it looks, then listen to explanations (made with the pretty serious voice too!) what's going on, then focus on the animations to burst laughing back again, whole video. What a amaiznig run, you totally made my day (if not the whole week). Thank you.
