Your Bloodborne playthrough was my introduction to your channel, I've been waiting for this ever since! This was my first FromSoft game and I'll never forget it as a gaming experience.
Ah that's awesome! I think I feel the same way about Bloodborne!
yeah i enjoyed her BBorne playthrough also
True 👍 ☺️
Same
@@SymbaLily Bloodborne is soooo good. You inspired me to actually play it and see it through to the end.
Unsurprisingly Amber feels like she's doing so bad at the game but is actually killing it in the first playthrough. So excited to watch this series
I think she did a practice run beforehand or read up on stuff. There is a slight tic that gives this away. If not, great! But I still can’t fathom why this “content” is popular today.
@@skiphoffenflaven8004I agree. Drips with not a real first run vibe.
@@skiphoffenflaven8004 she is a game developer, she understands and can read the clues that the game gives us better that most people, its not that she knows things before hand its her being able to see the desing behind it. Add her experience with other games (especially BB and Zelda) and there you go.
@@OiMitchlike when she saw the demon at the start and guessed she will have to sneak past him, it was fishy (even though technically it was wrong), but then "I'm gonna get the heater shield idk why" was straight up obvious..
Hm
YES, YOU were rewarded with an awesome view of the original Firelink Shrine. You are doing very well, do not concern yourself with the time you take. You learned Bloodborne very quickly and you are already noticing MANY different aspects of the environment that MOST don't. Your amazing sense of awareness and detail really ensures a GREAT playthrough! No Worries!
She noticed not only the bird but its nest on her first visit to firelink. I don't think I ever noticed the nest until I was walking up to it, and was like, "oh, there's a nest here."
SPOILER BELOW
And she even correctly assumed what the nest does. If I didn't know she was a professional game dev, I'd have thought she was cheating. lol
@@ytmndan True, true. Amber is very bright. She chose a great career path. Very entertaining to watch.
She even remembered the furtive pygmy, so easily forgotten.
That first black knight below the stair is such a great piece of level design.
It's just a strong enemy in an unremarkable spot off the path, but encountering it the first time is extremely memorable for every player.
Especially if you are first like "nope" and then you get knocked off by the flaming barrel only to find yourself on that ledge where the only way out is to jump the gap that takes you bottom of the stairs behind the black knight. 😄
That is, in my opinion, incredible level design. On hindsight the Undead Burg is such a masterpiece.
It's funny cause he chases you off the edge after death and you can just get a broken as hell weapon straight away. Made my first playthrough a joke lol...
@vaenii5056 it's facing the other way though 😅 you can just ignore him and come back later, or leave him to guard his tearstone ring 😅
Played this game in 2012 and after a few frustrating losses to this absolute chad, I stopped there.
Started playing again over the weekend... encountered him on Friday evening... played the whole of Saturday, the first time in zonks- just mainly that area between the bonfire and the knight.. in-between a few gear-runs and soul-runs via the Catacombs/Valley of Drakes, rushing the knight armor in front of the Hydra, etc.
Got my a**se handed to me all day long. The d*mn knight armor(Cleric/Knight build) and it's lazy rolls had me going crazy all day long until I learned to parry properly. (Blocking is just so cheap and "easy")
I must've lost closeto a 100 or more times to him during the day... and then I unceremoniously beat him quickly & easily- just like that, once I had parry/reposte and backstab down to a tee. I was training this the whole day. Only then - Sunday morning in the wee hours, could I "rest" .. and finally move onto, and beat the Taurus daemon, on first encounter.
Now? The game is much more enjoyable and "easier", cause he is like your very own Mr. Miyagi.
The most memorable and haunting encounter for me in a game since the late 90's. I'm an old-ish fart (45), so I'm not as good a gamer these days since I basically stopped playing regulalry a decade ago, so Amber's deffo miles better than me as a beginner.
Man... it was the most satisfying thing in a loong time! Felt like a Monday-morning meeting and you're kicking a**... including the boss' a**! 😀
The best thing about watching you play Bloodborne was seeing you grow and enjoy the experience at your own pace! Don't put any pressure on yourself, just roll with your flow, gurl 💅
A small tip, since this wasn't a thing in Bloodborne but very much is a thing in Souls games:
The weight you carry (armor, weapons, shields etc) matters. Like really matters. It directly influences how fast you can roll (when you're heavy, you will start to "fat roll" as they call it). Currently (at 1:17:00 at least) you're mid-rolling as it's called, meaning you're not overencumbered but you're also not really light. When you started with this character, fighting the Asylum Demon, you were fast rolling
Fast rolling is generally considered the best, tho you can also make due with mid-rolling. You'd never want to be fat rolling though.
There's a percentage these come into effect. At >25%, you will start to mid roll (before that, it's obviously fast roll) and at 70% you will start to fat roll. There's no direct percentage in your stats to show this unfortunately, they'd add that in Dark Souls II, however, you can see it from your Equip Load. Basically you do a standard percentage calculation with the first number divided by the second number and then multiply it by 100 (tho since you're a gamedev, I'm sure you knew that already ^^)
By "carry" I believe this fine person means "is equipped". You can have whatever in your inventory and just strip off if you like.
@@Lucifers-Stepdad yes, sorry. Equipped indeed
Fat roll kicks in at 50% in DS1. Fkin sux.
"You want me to go ring a bell?"
I mean, you actually got more from that than most people do their first time so good job.
pretty sure everyone who has played this game wishes they could go back and play for the first time again, watching you try to work things out is awesome. have so much fun!
I appreciate that you actually try to pay attention to the level design, environmental storytelling, and outright story telling. You read item descriptions... without necessarily KNOWING that that's how fromsoft communicates 90% of the lore. And, above all, I love that you smacked Asylum's booty and won then said outright "that was fun!" It's nice to see someone... just. saying they had fun with a fight! Because you're playing a game! You're playing! You're the ideal audience for fromsoft games and I hope you play all of them
This is the dark souls experience I wish I could have again. As a veteran of the series, the thing I miss the most is my first playthrough, being delighted and terrified by every new thing as I explore a world full of mystery
Hope you have a better experience with this series Amber, I'm so excited!
Thank youuuu😊
She is so joyful and excited! 😅😂🙌🏻 Fromsoft is the best of the best !
@@SymbaLily How stupid that they did such an endless chase in the remaster: in the original, each enemy had a small zone around his respawn, after going beyond which - he lost interest in the player and returned to respawn.
I'm sure many pointed this out already, but the backstab only works when your shield is down, so release "L" before pressing "R" when you are behind an enemy. The actual area that counts as "behind" is sometimes more generous than you think and just needs some getting used to.
Also, you can hold "A" to slide down ladders.
Just press
No you gotta double tap sprint in DS1 to slide down ladders, just don't do that in other souls games or you'll jump to your death.
That was so entertaining from start to finish I can't remember the last time I laughed so much! Not gonna lie a lot of the laughs were at you not with you haha! Your panicked commentary when fighting enemies is so funny seriously. I like the use of the jump attack, very nice, and good job with the Taurus demon. Overall very chaotic, frenetic and so so much fun, really want to see more!
Hahaha brilliant, thank you so much for watching
The downsides of being hollow is being unable to kindle bonfires until you reverse hollowing, and being unable to summon player or npc helpers for certain boss fights. The downside of human form is that you can sometimes be invaded by hostile npc’s or other players
Honestly the whole souls series frightens and fascinates me. I watched several friends play it and every second they seem like angry and miserable. However, when asked they always talk about how much they love it. The disconnect smacks of black magic.
One thing I like about this playthrough is the speed at which you start discovering things in the environment. DS1 especially really rewards exploration, and it's great watching you put your game design instincts to work so quickly and so readily. Looking forward to more of this series!
Oh my goodness 14:52 absolutely wrecked me! 🤣🤣 Knowing full well what was going to happen, and how you just boldly charged in completely unassuming! Had to re-watch this multiple times and it just gets funnier each time! I love your content, Amber!
You are doing VERY well for a blind DS playthrough. You're intuition to explore will help immensely, and your cool head under pressure and great gaming reflexes are wonderful assets. Can't wait to see more from this series. One tiny piece of advice is don't hoard resources like the homeward bones, most things you can always get more of, except really high lvl upgrade materials, but that is far in the future.
Suspiciously well 🤔
@@0saintclark0 She's already played Bloodborne, and your second souls game is always easier then your first
@@TetchyEquation have you ever played Bloodborne and then immediately played dark souls 1? It feels like you're controlling an oil tanker.
@@0saintclark0I'm starting this game fresh off Elden Ring and def feel like I'm controlling an ice cream truck lol
@@NeoConker626 😂 horrible ain't it.
I LITERALLY just got back into Dark Souls. And now I get to watch this! Thank you so much Symbalily!
I somewhat recently completed my own very first playthrough of Dark Souls and it was without a shadow of a doubt, the most fun I have ever had in a videogame. I jumped in completely blind, avoided all guides and spoilers and just learned the game myself. 100% an experience all gamers should have.
I hope you enjoy this game as much as I did!
If you were online then you didnt play it blind. The messages that other players leave are spoilers.
@@Onthebrink5 nah I played the first one offline all the way through. Second I played online because there are no real realistic options to make it offline without disconnecting my xbox from the wifi constantly, which would be annoying in the long run, but I still haven't been spoiled. Kinda hard to spoil when 99.9% of the player messages are goofy messages like "woman ahead, try tongue but hole"
@@vildiac You are a liar. Anyone that claims that 99% of player messages are BS are lying their asses off. People that write original comments on youtube for attention and validation are not the most trustworthy of people as you have shown. "99.9% of messages are goofy." We all know that that is not true.
@@Onthebrink5 That was supposed to be a joke but okay. I know it's not actually 99%, not that I have to answer to you in the first place.
@@vildiac No it was not. "Just a joke" does not work anymore.
So happy you are playing this classic! There are two important “rules” you should follow to get the most out of your playthrough: 1. Explore EVERYTHING. The devs are notorious for hiding important things in obscure places. 2. Read item descriptions. if you want story, Dark Souls doesn’t just give it to you-much of the story is told through item descriptions. Pretend you are an archeologist: every new item you find is a piece to the puzzle of this fascinating world. Enjoy!
After hundrets of hours in DS1 and a long abstinence you rekindled my interest in playing it again. Don't rush it! Take your time and have some fun! If something feels to hard, farm up some souls and upgrade yourself! Things will get better. Love your Souls-Playthroughs!
Tipp for shields: Every Element has an absorbtion rating(e.g. 100 Physical, 70 Fire,...), just read the extended info in the shops before buying one, it will help ;) Your first shield didn't have 100% physical resistance, so you did lose health every hit.
rekindled, you say?
Nope. Rush it. Go for a record. Not much else to do...
Gotta say, unintentional as it was, getting the Heater shield was a really good choice. Has really solid stability for a shield its size and weight, really good fire defence and 100% physical. Love when people accidentally make really good decisions, so satisfying to watch
Absolutely enjoyed watching you play this! Can't wait to see more!
Thank you!!!
Yay!!! Always fun to see someone get into Dark Souls as a new player! There’s always something new with every play through and you’re doing it so well!
Hey Amber, as someone who found this channel through Bloodborne and Hollow Knight (Thanks TH-cam Algorithm) and started with the Soul series like 10 years ago, it is a joy to see you go to were the hype started.
Just compared to me back then, you are doing so good (again btw, I was so impressed in Bloodborne), showing real skills vs the Taurus Demon!
Some general tips for your first Dark Souls from me:
1. You can see what amount of each damage type is blocked by a shield if you go to the second stats screen (pressing Y).
2. Every spell has a limited amount of uses until you rest at a bonfire. This was changed back to FP in the following games (Ds2, Ds3, Eldenring)
3. You can only see summon signs of NPCs (like Sun-Bro Solaire you just met) when you are in your human form. This is never explained explicitly in the game if I remeber correctly.
4. Check your equipment load in the stats screen. As soon as you pass 50 % of it you will become slow and start "fat rolling". This might happen if you get heavy armor or a big weapon.
5. In the level up menu you can press the minus button to get a little explanation about every stat on the screen.
Hope you enjoy the game and feel the magic of this beatiful journey! 🤗 Praise the Sun \[T]/
all really good advice! 👆
just to add a little, the detailed stat view of equipment also tells you what build compliments a weapon. you can see how well any weapon scales with certain attributes (strength, dexterity, etc) so if you find a weapon you really like, you know what to level up to use it better!
Hey, a few tips about game mechanics that are not explained in the game (no spoilers):
1) For the "backstab" to work, you have to lower your shield! And stand behind them of course.
2) Your weapons and armor have weight and they encumber you. Only stuff you have actually equipped counts towards your encumbrance. There are 3 different dodge roll speeds up to 25%, 50% and 100% encumbrance. You can see your encumbrance level in the inventory. Light roll (up to 25%) is the fastest and has the most invincibility frames. This makes a noticeable difference in how easy it is to dodge, so consider wearing lighter armor or un-equipping secondary weapons if you have trouble dodging things! Maybe you noticed that your roll changed when you equipped that crossbow. Leveling up endurance increases the amount you can carry.
3) Using your weapon with both hands can be very useful. It increases your strength by 50% and generally makes your attacks more damaging and far more effective in staggering enemies or breaking through their shields.
we need to get you on top^o^
I really liked your methodical combing through the area. That is such a big part of the experience, keep in on, even now there were more places you could have visited. Just by doing that you get a much better learning curve on this game, what will be eventually your biggest asset. Though the extra items obtained and unlocked shortcuts will eventually stack up too.
I do this, and someone I co-op with kept asking if I was lost lol
1:12:39 I can't believe you made it all the way to 1.5 hours before I had to laugh and say "welcome to dark souls" XD. I'm SO SO glad you're doing this game now, you're gonna love it!
Enjoy! I was put onto these games April 2022 and I've loved every second of it. Take your time, explore, learn and overcome. Looking forward to the series :)
Really excited about this! Dark Souls is probably my favorite game of all time.
That said god damn, I heard the switch version had some audio problems, but I didn't realize it was this bad, apparently they compressed the sound files for some reason. It sounds so incredibly muddy I thought there might have been something wrong with my headset for a bit. Hope it's not too big of a bother for you and you can enjoy the game just fine!
This episode was amazing from A to Z
I know. She went so long having only died once, and I was like, "oh man is this going to be like Hollow Knight where she never dies?"
Then gravity kicked in.
So it was AmaZ?
Eh to Zed
Important tip:
For shields ignore the number you saw at 1:01:32 that is for attack damage. For shields open the details and check the column to the right that one will tell you how much of the damage it will absorb (80%, 100%). It shows many kinds of damage physical, magical, electric, etc.
If you read this i hope it helps.
I think as a game developer you'll really enjoy the level design and the many ways the world is connected. can't wait to see the rest of the plaaythorugh!!!
Yes this game has probably the best level design ever. And I know this sounds like an overstatement but there is a reason this is so often considered one of the best games of all time. Cant wait to see someone who has seen the other side of those designs experience this :)
Wait, she’s a game developer? 😮
"What about the pygmy? What did he do?"
Ahhh, the furtive pygmy. So easily forgotten.....
I loved your Bloodborne and Hollow Knight playthrough, very excited to see your journey through Dark Souls!
I’m so glad you’re playing another souls game. Bloodborne is one of my favorite games and I watched all your vids. Don’t sweat the gameplay, watching blind playthroughs is the best!
Praise the sun! So glad you are finally playing this game. Hope you enjoy it!
I don't know, if anyone else has already told this, but reversing hollowing will enable multiplayer and the ability to summon NPCs to aid you against bosses in addition to allowing you to kindle bonfires. I have not seen any messages from other players or ghosts of other players though, which you should see even without reversing hollowing, so you are probably playing offline. that's fine, since otherwise you run the risk of getting invaded by hostile players, when you have reversed hollowing.
anyway it's still good to know that you can summon NPCs to help you against some of the bosses, if they start to feel exceedingly frustrating. the summoning signs are usually located near the entrance to a boss, but you will only see them, if you have reversed your hollowing.
those NPCs are in the game for a reason, but there is no requirement to summon them to beat the game. they just give the experience of jolly co-operation for those, who can't summon other players to help them, while at the same time being nowhere near as useful as actual players.
I only played this game for the first time last year, yet there's still something weirdly nostalgic about watching this video. Seeing you methodically make your way through Undead Burg definitely taps into that rare magical allure that Dark Souls has for so many people. Looking forward to seeing your reactions to the other areas of the game!
It's great to witness someone taking her time to appreciate the world and the surroundings - instead of the usual way, i.e. trying to skip through the Asylum at maximum pace and getting frustrated because one doesn't understand sh*t.
Oh my GOD, I've been dying, DYYYING! to see you play this. Can't overstate how excited I am for this playthrough! 😃😃😃
EDIT: After watching this first vid, I just wanted to add that you are playing at the absolute perfect pace. Taking your time, noticing and enjoying your environment, reading item descriptions, and defeating bosses with relative ease (despite your hilarious panicked state)--even your deaths are welcome because it's satisfying to see you learn from your mistakes so quickly. Please keep on just being you and playing as you always do. It may not seem like it to you, but it is IMMENSELY satisfying to watch you play. This is as close to playing this wonderful game for the first time again as we can get. ♥♥♥
Wow! Beating the Asylum demon first try and Taurus on the second is a pretty promising start! It's clear you haven't forgotten _everything_ you learned playing Bloodbourne! ☺ Good job on spotting the very useful run-up-the-ladder-and-drop approach to the Taurus demon so quickly! Took me a while to figure that one out!
Bloodborne is a much harder game than Darksouls 1 other than the Artorius dlc fight. so beating Bloodborne makes DS 1 a breeze
@@zeromagnum2811 Yes so sad would be more fun if she was totaly new there is no fun to watch good players
Good luck Amber!! Love this game, it’s still such an enigma. Also, BE NICE EVERYONE.
Cheers and big hugs!
i love this game's intro, it's like "here's the story but we won't actually explain anything, good luck :)" and still awesome as hell
Seeing someone play darksouls for the first time ever is such a heart warming experience. Finding the open door when the boss comes after you *chef kiss* such fun level design.
Oooooh YESSSS!!! Your Bloodborne playthrough introduced me to your channel, I am super excited for this! I hope you play the rest of Fromsoftware’s games!
Absolute joy watching someone experience Dark Souls for the first time! Thank you for the video!
Also when you asked why Nintendo switched A and B it’s actually Nintendo who have had that orientation since the SNES the PlayStation also has this orientation (O the symbol similar to a tick in Japan, X being cancel) but western developers thought the X was intended for selection leading to all the confusion with controllers now.
Oh maaann, to experience these games for the first time. Takes me back. I finished Demon's Souls and checked for a sequel and read Dark Souls was gonna come out in a week, and it was amazing. I was so happy. :')
Yes! I've been waiting for you to play this for so long. Hope you enjoy it 🤞😊
I'm only a 3rd through but I can already tell, you won't do badly at this game at all, don't worry. You picked up everything far quicker than any of my friends when they started. I'm so looking forward to see you experience this one!
I'm stupidly happy to see you are finally playing this 😊
I love that you cared about the Pygmy… the character that everyone forgets
i love how attentive youre playing! its extremely entertaining to watch, hope you'll have a great time with the game 😊
I recently started playing Dark Souls again. I platinumed the original, and plan doing the same with the remaster. I consider myself a decent player, but your first playthrough definitely puts mine to shame! You seem to have good instincts so keep doing what you're doing. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this series. Watching new players brings back a lot of good memories.
Finding this channel with your Hollow Knight playthrough last year has been so great, really made my working from home less lonely :D. I'm a massive souls fan so i'm excited to follow this playthrough! Hopefully Silksong will be this year...
"Why are the flames fading?"
You ask a lot of good questions from the into!
Essentially, the answer is that nothing is eternal. It isn't known what created the fire that brought disparity, but without it, the Age of Dragons would have been eternal.
A theme of the series is that everything, eventually, has and end. And that ends only begin something else.
love this game. i find it weirdly relaxing. probably due to how slow and methodical gameplay is combined with the atmosphere. and the calmer you are the easier it is too, as panicking leads to bad decisions lol
I've seen dozens of blind playthroughs of this game and this is one of the best! I'm genuinely impressed by how easily you picked this game up. Keep it up!
The most deadly enemy in the souls series remains gravity
Never seen your channel before but gotta say I had so much fun watching you play and discover the world that is dark souls. Will be binge atching the rest.
Praise the sun, Dark Souls! You love to see it! That was a great time the whole way through. Great to see the DS jump scares holding up too. Your panicked commentary was a delight and I'd love to see more.
Love the way you approach the game with cautious curiosity. Thats the perfect way to engage with dark souls!
An impressive first time to be honest, you are doing incredible well, your fight vs Taurus Demon is a 10/10 and a perfect example to show someone who never played a "souls" game how to understand and analize fights using the elements around you, it's the second time i watch your content (first one was Hollow Knight) and i'm enjoying your content a lot, i speak spanish but i love other lenguages hahah so sorry if my writting have some mistakes
I've discovered you when you played Bloodborne.
So hyped to see your discovery of Dark Souls!
As an avid souls player I got my wife to start playing Skyrim on the switch! Slowly breaking her to start playing Dark Souls of Elden Ring!! Yaay! Happy for your first play through!
I hope she continues to read messages through the game, some of them are going to be good
Without any doubt, this game has the coolest lore. That intro always gets me emotional. It's just so freaking cool!
1:12:38 There’s nothing like the first time you lose all your souls in a new FromSoft game 😂
So hyped for this play-through!
@@feddy1103 as in game game new to the player, not game that is just launched, lol
Bloodborne was my first Fromsoft game and first time I watched your channel. This game was my second Fromsoft game. Then I played Dark Souls 3, sekiro, dark souls 2, Demons souls, elden ring. They are all so much fun and their own charm to them. This ones charm is the world design and inner-connectivity of it.
I'm not a souls player (tend to prefer strategy rpg's) but this was highly entertaining and i look forward to the rest of the playthrough. Your playthroughs are always a joyful experience to watch and don't worry about going to slow.
I really love your videos; you make it a truly lovely experience to share my favourite games with you. Thank you. Definitely looking forward to this, but no pressure; just enjoy it however you do, it's what we love best about you. We watch you for you, after all
wow that was an incredible first run of undeadburg, I cannot wait to see what you make of the rest of the game
You're doing well. That whole time you barely died. The game is designed to make thing seem impossible, but its not at all. You'll get through it. The best advice I can give you, that probably no one else will give, is to be confident in your actions, but not overconfident. Both panic and cockiness will get you killed. You want to stay calmly in the middle. Praise the sun.
not sure if you have a pc or other console but i'd definitely recommend playing on anything but a switch, just for the highest fidelity visuals and quality of experience. will still watch and support regardless though good luck!
i like how all gamers now appreciates the old masterpieces, if you have the game on PC it really makes a difference regarding the Graphics and the Fps because i have i on both switch and PC and it's so much better on PC, good luck on this real fun journey
Amber: I cant believe how big that tree is.
Elden Ring: Hold my beer
Having first arrived when you were making the BB videos and loved them, I'm really excited to see your take on one of the original Souls games. Hope the playthrough goes well, and be nice, fellow commenters - it was a first time for all of us, once!
This is already shaping up to be a great playthrough 😄
Why not is a better question, its all up to personal preference.
@@NintendoMania because the switch is always a worse version of the mobile version.
@@tobitroyer9429 in your opinion
@@tobitroyer9429 you’re the only person in the entire comment section who cares about this lmfao
@@abenthur7306 Or… hear me out… people don’t always play things in the order the videos release, and sometimes things take longer to edit and sequence than others.
This is absolutely the BEST 1st playthrough ever! Thank you for letting me relive my first time with Dark Souls.
She's a real gamer.
Dark Souls 123 music is majestic...If you play years later it'll give you the most fulfilling, nostalgic feeling. Might have to play them all over again after I finish Nioh 2.
Beautiful game. Enjoy it. 😊
I was invested as it's a blind play-through of Dark Souls, but then you mentioned Gurney Halleck... SUBSCRIBED
Well well well looks like I found my next favorite TH-cam series.
You continue to impress me with how observant you are. FROM, as you know, are masters of 'telling you without telling you' and you pick up on it so quickly and easily. Glad to see you back on a FROM game. This was great, I'm excited for the rest of your playthrough of this!
This girl has a focus of a seasoned veteran gamer , that jumb to the bridge for the ring of sacrifice, I had no idea it existed
I have intentionally not been watching these to avoid spoiling it for myself, but now i’ve finally bought the game. This is my third fromsoft game, but my first dark souls game so i am very excited to play it!
I love watching people play dark souls for the first time, it is so hilarious. And I'm no professional, it just brings me back to my first time ...
You're the first youtuber I see moving the camera when there's something on screen. That looks a lot of work. Appreciate it!
Ive been waiting ever since i found you through bloodborne! Thank you!!
First time watching this TH-camr. Honestly, besides a couple really bad decisions, the attention span and carefulness she shows is awesome. She's doing A LOT better than most gamer's first playthrough I know.
It is always a pleasure to see people play Darksoul for the firstime. It always rackup views. I think it is a human nature to see other get destroyed.
TH-cam playthroughs are so much better than Twitch. Thank you. Makes watching them much better!
Yay! I just played bloodborne for the first time and it was my first from software game. And loved it so much I've gotten into watching first plays to relive the magic. Yours has been the best!
Now i think I'd prefer to watch you play souls games instead of doing more myself!
I just click on every video of someone's first DS1 playthrough. I adore this game and love seeing people's first reactions to this masterpiece.
Amazing. Can't wait to see more of soulsborne on your channel 🎉
DS1 was my first souls game, it’s so nostalgic watching someone play it for the first time. You’re so lucky enjoy it !
My introduction to your channel being this video, I love watching people play these games and seeing their reactions, I wish I could forget my memories of them and play them blind again😊
You said early in the video that you were going very slow, but I enjoy the pace. I think it's really cool that you take in the scenery and such. I'm 44 min in, and you have already noticed a lot of details I didn't the first time around and even one I just never thought about before. :D
EDIT: I also appreciate you talking to NPCs to get the whole experience. :D
A few non-spoilery tips:
- If an guarding enemy staggers back after a hit, that means you broke their guard, and can generally get a hit or two in before they recover.
- It's generally best as a beginner to fight every enemy on the way to a boss rather than sprinting past, at least in my opinion. Less stressful, and it means some time to think about the boss's moves between encounters
- If you're not hollow, you can sometimes find white signs on the ground to let you summon an NPC (or, if online, a helpful player) to help you clear an area and kill the boss. I don't know if the online multiplayer is still working but a number of the toughest bosses have NPC summons possible as well.
- if an enemy hits your shield with a weak attack, they'll stagger back and be vulnerable. Use the chance to hit them back before they recover. Especially useful against light enemies with a shield, since it opens their guard too.
- Don't get discouraged. You're doing better than I was when I first started Dark Souls.
