Thank you for putting it into words! Its "refreshing" (for lack of a possibly less weird term) after so many videos of what is essentially just dudes screaming into the mic lol
I think the hate surrounding Blighttown is more understandable when you think back to when the game came out. In 2011, quite alot of players first experienced Dark Souls on console and that place was not pleasant on consoles. I can't speak with too much authority on the 360 version, but on like PS3 for example, the game chugged like an outright bastard, making the place alot more unpleasant. This isn't a problem now of course, but for veterans, that can absolutely colour your perception. Other than that, I think it's just that it leaves a bad first impression that people just don't get over. When you know where you're going as you said, the level is quite short and simple, but you're not going to know that on your first time around and in that context, the place can be quite treacherous to explore with a pretty ever-present threat of instant death. The poison darters can also be really frustrating on the first time around, as they're pretty difficult to see coming unless you know they're there. To top it off, I imagine alot of players came down there without the rusted iron ring or a stockpile of moss clumps, both being plausably missable (the ring especially), forcing players to go back and forth to get better prepared. When you don't know it's coming, Blighttown can be quite frustrating and while it's only a problem once, never underestimate people's ability to hold onto first impressions.
same, it was always just the natural flow to me tho it probably doesn't help i always forgot where the non-shortcut entrance to lower undead burg is lol
@@jonathancastillo6433 the whip is good, though? I beat ornstein in six hits without buffs lol. With rtsr or sunlight blade I'm positive the damage would be crazy
This wasn't actually a stream, I did this unscripted because I didn't have time to script for this week since I was working a on a different video that should be coming out soon. I try to stream every wednesday at 3pm PST, but I didn't stream at all last month. They should start back up this wednesday, though!
You have a real mild voice. Like my Grandma

Yaaay thanks for the upload 😄
I used the whip so much in ds2, and it was fun to see it in action here
but what about the guardian tail, the boss weapon with up to 10 more damage & worse scaling?
AND POISON!
@@IkEisawesome7cant forget the poison
13:21 I actually find the Capra Demon about the same difficulty as the Gargoyles, so I sometimes fight Capra before Gargoyles.
I would have to agree with you that Blighttown is the best Dark Souls level. Super charming. Never bored when I go through it.
You should check out the whips in DS2! I actually think they're pretty fun there
Fun time spent PvPing with the spotted whip paired with the notched whip, proccing bleed and poison together
i told myself i was gonna watch like 10 min before i go to bed now im here 40 min in lol
I'm glad you find me entertaining enough to indulge me with that much of your time :3
13:45 Havel is finally freeeeeee!!! Or Havel's knight or whatever lol

The whip you get in the painting world is pretty good
It does lower damage than the normal whip, it does have bleed, but not enough enemies are weak enough to bleed to make it worth it, imo
13:26 I think I did go through the game like this on my first playthrough
same, it was always just the natural flow to me
tho it probably doesn't help i always forgot where the non-shortcut entrance to lower undead burg is lol
@@everyreverie3 cool, I'm glad my proposed route wasn't pure conjecture lol
I'm gonna try a whip as my offhand on a quality build, see how that does!
Pogchamp!
I did a cosplay with a sunlightblade whip and oh boy. The danger rope sucked even with the crazy damage buff
@@jonathancastillo6433 the whip is good, though? I beat ornstein in six hits without buffs lol. With rtsr or sunlight blade I'm positive the damage would be crazy
It might have to do with the amount of stats I used to strengthen sunlight blade not applying to the ar of the whip
Wish I could've caught the stream! Do you have a streaming schedule?
