It's interesting how both you and JK got the Dragon God glitch so shortly after each other given that I've never seen that happen before then. Makes me wonder if it's a bluepoint thing
I feel like the problem with the facial animation is that they are super highly animated and emotive, but the rest of the body is still completely unmoving. So as a result you get this weird uncanny valley effect since you have a head that's hyper expressive and bouncing around as it talks grafted on top of what might as well be a mannequin for how little the body moves or emotes.
Curiously, a read a review from a friend on Steam for Horizon: Zero Dawn just a couple of hours ago, exactly about uncanny valley. And I think both of you are right on the money: (...) Last but definitely not least... (actually, this is my biggest gripe with the game) Horizon Zero Dawn is the most acute case of "uncanny valley" I've ever personally witnessed. The game just looks...... wrong. The bit in the intro where we get to play as child-Aloy was particularly sickening to me. Her model just looks... unnatural. The characters are constantly twitching in ways humans just don't and the changes from animation to animation in conversation can be very abrupt. It's like they tried to add a ton of subtlety and variety to the movements but there is actually too much and they don't connect naturally? It made me super uncomfortable to the point where I started to actually avoid dialogue. Which is a bit of a shame because I've been told that the story in this game is actually pretty decent.
It's not exactly that but it pronounces it. The faces in a lot of games are a bit OVER Animated. If you keep a close atttention to faces of people when they talk, you notice movement but only in rare cases it is super its exaggerated. Faces move sutle and its the missing sutle movement that makes it stiff in older games ( where its only mouth movement) But here its too much and unnatural and therefore uncanny and wierd to watch.
I've been binge-listening to your runs a LOT recently while working on my school projects. Surprisingly they help me focus a lot, but I'm at a point where I'm re-listening to many of them lol. Funny enough I was about to continue working on another project so this is great timing. Thank you for suffering for our entertainment Lemon 🙏
I’ve been binge listening to him while driving to work. I set my phone down and don’t even watch, just hearing his friendly voice and goofy jokes helps pass the time SO well. God Bless Lemon.
You should watch his full stream vods of these runs for more footage. I put these on at night before I go to sleep and the full vods are magic. They're a couple hours long as well
Another glorious victory achieved by shooting ancient beings and eldrich horrors with toothpicks till they die. GG! And thank you for good fun! Happy holidays to everyone!
My favorite animal is a stingray so seeing you appreciate the Storm King made me really happy. Congratulations on defeating the Flamelurker....oh and the run, congrats on the run too.
Interesting enough, DS3 technically also cuts your HP if you're not human 'AKA embered', but instead of being a visible, set begin with, effect, it's hidden, and the health is 'given' when you kill the tutorial boss of that game. It's a interesting concept to keep a so-far staple mechanic, but trick players brains to view it as a reward rather then a standard formula of hardship... Honestly a unique little thing about our brains. Plus, I think seeing you challenge kings field and shadow tower, would be super cool actually.. a little YTber going by blinge did a magic only kings field (1-3) and a gun only shadow tower, truthfully hard and fun challenges, but Goodluck getting your hand on those games lol but you should be fine, hell you did potato only salt and sanctuary, I believe you can handle the pain of those two games.
DS3 is also balanced to have your non-Embered health be decently playable as well. Demon's Souls balances it around your full health and says "you get half now, fuck balancing"
@@dretadel Ye fair, DS2 is also balanced.. and well, ya get humanities real easily, not sure bout DS1 though.. But DS2 is my personal fav, great game all around for its time, and even now it holds up fine.
@@misterspoken2803 See, I felt like they were really stingy with Human effigies compared to how punishing hollowing gets. I still really like 2, but a game that feels good for challenge runs it is not for that reason
"Which is probably why so many people swear by Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring. They're definitely the most polished of the 5." *"5"* Bloodborne enjoyers would like a word with you Mr. Lemon.
Does anyone else want "Carl! Cut the Camera!" merch? entertaining run as always! Well Done. Glad no one has gotten around to a Demon Souls' Immolation mod yet. 😂😂
When I reached Storm King back in 2010 I felt the same as you with the remastered version. I hope I can get a PS5 soon too because I really want to play DS remastered. Great video, it's always great to watch your gameplays!
Hey Lemon, i just wanted to say that your challenge run videos is what inspired me to do my own challenge run videos and it has changed my life. I love your videos and thank you :)
You know, Lemon, it occurs to me that there are 2 games you probably haven't heard about that have the ability to deal fire damage/ use firebombs aplenty that would fit your patience idea greatly. Granted, those games are also CRPG's of 60+ hours each, so it would likely be longstanding projects, but still. The first is Pathfinder: Wrath of the righteous, there you can play as an infuser, a class that specializes in using specific types of energy damage (like fire) and one of the abilities that class unlocks is the ability to create a bomb of their chosen infusion element (fire) The 2nd game is Rogue Trader, there you can pick a Sanctioned Psyker to be able to use Pyrokinesis, your first unlocked ability is literally the ability to set your enemies on fire, with more fire abilities you can unlock later, including abilities that encourage you to set YOURSELF on fire. The game also has fire grenades and fire weaponry in the form of flamers (literal flamethrowers) and plasma guns because liquid fire is still fire.
Glad you've made use of the double rtsr setup, it's one of the things I really love in this game, as it can make pretty much any weapon hilariously overpowered
Another awesome run from Lemon? A great way to start to weekend! On a side note: is anyone else having trouble liking the video? I even reloaded after the first watch and it still says "this action is disabled." I know Lemon is a masochist, but I doubt sabotaging his own analytics is in his wheelhouse.
17:55 I don't know anything about demon's souls but I'd guess flamelurker has some flat damage resistances which work best against smaller hits. As an example let's say you do 100 base damage per hit and the enemy has 10 flat damage reduction so the final hit will deal 90 damage. If you add a 50% damage buff, your base damage goes to 150 damage but the damage reduction stays the same, so you deal 140 total damage. That means your 50% damage buff actually increases your damage by about 55% and even more if the flat damage reduction is higher.
hah, and you sealed the book for near the whole series with my fvorite weapon type. well done. Also, thank you. you and some other challenge runners got me into observing gimmick run ideas in my own games now.
I know you won't see this, but thanks for your vids backlogs, they've gotten me through some pretty tough times, and helped me make several new friends, seeing a new video of yours lights up my day, and your outro is always heartwarming, thanks for all the great vids, this was a great year! Hears to another Year of amazing videos and memories! *begins sniffling* wait, why are you seeing this? Carl cut the camera, Carl I said cut the came- P.S. I have a challenge run for you, beat siren head resurrection without ever using a ranged weapon (bear spray is considered melee) There is no way you do this challenge lol, let alone complete it. if you somehow manage to complete this on NG+, you've earned my membership for sure. I know it's outside of your usual wheelhouse, but I am in the discord for the game if you need help, as the litteral only speedrunner, I know the games glitches better then the dev himself. P.S.S wow, you saw this, you are amazing
Ah, just what I needed while I get ready to cook for the holiday madness ahead. Watching/listening to this on my nest hub max while I prep is quite nice. Thanks for doing these, Lemon. It's truly S-tier content, and I'm glad I found this channel. Happy holidays!
So the only scaling crossbow gets +40 damage, at 99 of a stat... not even usually used for archery? But MAGIC? Dang, that's sadistic. Somebody at From must have had themselves quite a giggle at that one.
It's only recently that I managed to finally find a physical copy of Demon's souls remake in my country after having the ps5 for year and a half, and yep, as someone that loves bloodborne and all things lovecraftian, I too fell in love with the storm king's soundtrack/sound effects, super simple boss fight, specially if you use the sword, but all the sound engineering made it epic as hell.
What I love about demon souls is the really out there ideas the team came up with for the bosses. The old hero and the stone king are boss concepts I’d love to see revisited in newer games cause in a better system they could be the most memorable moments of a game.
I knew that something was keeping me from gaming today... like something was just like "meh, not feeling it." Now I know. It was a new Backlogs video, calling softly from the comforting darkness... Keep up the great work Lemon! Happy Holidays!
For clever rat ring not doing 50% more damage maybe this is because of defence/res, maybe if you deal 100 damage and boss takes 50, when you deal 150 he takes 100, i dont know how that works in souls but different games treat defences differently, some have it as a % and some as static number, so that might be another explanation
That's right! It's why mixed damage usually needs to be look much higher to equal a single type; it's fighting through two resists. It's not exactly 1 armor = 1 damage reduced, but it is slanted such that armor stats are much better at blocking small hits than big ones. If you've gone through an early game area with lategame gear, you might've been surprised by everything bouncing off. My own experience of hyper mode multi is a level 1 character holding a morion blade and a lava bow (two weapons sl1 does not have the stats for) to kill a pure black NG7 Leechmonger. 1.5x1.3 is just under 2, but it feels like it does ten times the regular damage against a low resist.
Yes, the bonus is applied before resist, so it appears higher than 50%. It is the same in ds1, so I am surprised he didn't seem to know this. Strangely though, power within was applied after defenses because it's good to stay consistent lol
I wont lie, and to this day i cant lie, theres one boss in every souls game that gives me goose bumps, not because of story, not because of lore, and not because of the fight... But the audio, the music, and they feels... Demon Souls: Storm King, Dark Souls: Artorias, Dark Souls 2: Dark Lurker, Dark Souls 3: Soul Of Cinder/Gale, Bloodborne: Lady Maria/Kos, and Elden Ring: Maliketh Phase 2
I have a run idea. Lords of the fallen 2023 with firebombs only. They use ammunition pouches so you can actually stock up on a ton of them and never have to worry about inventory spaces. If there was a way to summon specific people, I'd be happy to grind out some ammunition pouches to help you along, or at the very least, drop you a firebomb so you can start at the beginning without glitches and avoid anyone who says "run invalid". The best part is some firebombs actually scale with stats, and there's a ring to increase damage of thrown items. It'll still be hard but manageable. There's also a farming spot that doesn't require you to do anything other than lead someone off a cliff so infinite vigor (souls) to purchase supplies.
This was my older brother's account I only found this because he gave me his laptop rip and damn bro I wish you had of looked towards someone who cared than asking the internet you dummy
I glad you continue the tradition of making your character as close to how you look as possible. This time you made him look exactly how I imagine you look like.
Ive been watching all your challenges from the beginning just recently, and i am trying salt and sanctuary for the first time. Feels very soulsy and im enjoying it. Thanks lemon
I don't agree with the directional decisions Bluepoint made in the remake, so I won't be purchasing it myself, but it's good to see you add another game to your toolbelt. It was a great run and a great video to boot. Great job, Lemon.
Oh man I’m sorry but could you do some challenge run of twilight princess, oblivion, or new Vegas? It would be awesome to see some O.G games like that in a challenge run. Anyways love you and your content easily one of my favorite channels now!! Keep it up and can’t wait to see what your future holds!! ❤❤
Patches is secretly the best in this game. He sells high level grass for relatively cheap. He carried me through this game. Secretly great. And since I used a bow as a sidearm, his arrow upgrades were great too. Chad patches.
The remake is still the most beautiful PS5 game made so far, I was mindblown when I first played this version, the graphics, the sound effects, so good.
For anyone curious, Lemon did the PS5 joke in the fist-only Dark Souls 1 video, almost 3 years ago. Still a great video, would watch again, 5/5
Can confirm I watched it
It's interesting how both you and JK got the Dragon God glitch so shortly after each other given that I've never seen that happen before then. Makes me wonder if it's a bluepoint thing
I've never had it happen in the original. You’re probably right on the money with that guess.
@@TheBacklogswhich version do you prefer?
After seeing the JK Leeds video, I tried to replicate the glitch in the original and couldn't. It's definitely a remake only glitch.
a youtuber called kaif got the bug as well
@@ikitclaw4298 did not expect anyone from Salt Raiders being mentioned here, but nice to see that the community is spread out.

One God
Jesus worshipped God
(FATHER?❌)
God never worshipped back
what I really enjoy about this remake are the small things like the disappearing rain if the stormking is directly above you and such
My favourite bit was when lemon said its crossbow time and crossbowed all over the place.
My favorite bit was when Lemon said "its firebomb time," and then he firebombed all over the bad guys
That's great too.
I liked when he said sticky white stuff
Bro it's been out for 2 hours how did you beat me to this joke
This meme format is always a blessing, guess we really do have to thank Morbius for that.
Crazy that a 3 year old release title is still one of the best looking games for the PS5. Bluepoint did a great job.
"Angry Waist Bend" is probably the most roundabout, indirect, nonsensical way to make a crossbow pun and I'm 100% here for it
Another glorious victory achieved by shooting ancient beings and eldrich horrors with toothpicks till they die.
GG! And thank you for good fun!
Happy holidays to everyone!

I wont lie, and to this day i cant lie, theres one boss in every souls game that gives me goose bumps, not because of story, not because of lore, and not because of the fight... But the audio, the music, and they feels... Demon Souls: Storm King, Dark Souls: Artorias, Dark Souls 2: Dark Lurker, Dark Souls 3: Soul Of Cinder/Gale, Bloodborne: Lady Maria/Kos, and Elden Ring: Maliketh Phase 2
I have a run idea. Lords of the fallen 2023 with firebombs only. They use ammunition pouches so you can actually stock up on a ton of them and never have to worry about inventory spaces. If there was a way to summon specific people, I'd be happy to grind out some ammunition pouches to help you along, or at the very least, drop you a firebomb so you can start at the beginning without glitches and avoid anyone who says "run invalid".
The best part is some firebombs actually scale with stats, and there's a ring to increase damage of thrown items. It'll still be hard but manageable. There's also a farming spot that doesn't require you to do anything other than lead someone off a cliff so infinite vigor (souls) to purchase supplies.

Oh man I’m sorry but could you do some challenge run of twilight princess, oblivion, or new Vegas? It would be awesome to see some O.G games like that in a challenge run. Anyways love you and your content easily one of my favorite channels now!! Keep it up and can’t wait to see what your future holds!! ❤❤
Imagine Bluepoint Games do a remake of Dark Souls. One day...
Thanks for being my favourite comfort youtuber lemon. You're awsome
Keep this up and crossbows might become part of your brand
Gotta say, I love how you insert The Girl From Ipanema in places here and there, like the elevator ride here!
Merry Christmas lemon
The first time I watch a backlogs with headphones, I have risen
Christmas came early this year! Lemon dropped a video! Hopefully we don’t have to wait til next Christmas for the One Shot Challenge vid 😢
This run really crossed my bow
Exactly what I needed today, bless up
I usually watch all of your videos but since I haven't yet played this game I'll have to wait. I'm deeply sorry Lemon
Very underrated game imo!!! , love your content & keep the challenges coming.
Patches is secretly the best in this game. He sells high level grass for relatively cheap. He carried me through this game. Secretly great. And since I used a bow as a sidearm, his arrow upgrades were great too. Chad patches.
The remake is still the most beautiful PS5 game made so far, I was mindblown when I first played this version, the graphics, the sound effects, so good.
Merry Christmas Lemon hope you and your family are having a good time.
oh boy backlogs uploaded, the holidays have officially began
congratzz on the 400k Subs! we love your videos!
I’ve seen the same video 1,000 times and it never gets old.
Your videos are truly a joy to watch.
