At this point it is basically an annual tradition to watch through the different dark souls playthroughs. Just finished watching ds2 for like the 5th time, and now it´s back to the OG for like 6-7th time :).
Been with the boys since the beginning. Sometimes it's nice to come back to where it all started and ride the nostalgia wave while also knowing how far they've come❤
Happy birthday from a primordial slug! Always thankful that this series grew far beyond the one-off that it might have been, giving us a fantastic set of series, and a vibrant and friendly community. We're all so thankful for the good times and great moments you've given us. To the fools!
I love this so much, he's like a hyper little kid discovering everything at 100mph while his parents give slow monotone advice in the background. Definitely watching the rest. no jimmy, right, right, you're other right jimmy, no jimmy, oh you got it anyways.
"So Rory, idk if you know this about Dark Souls... When you rest at a bonfire all the enemies come back to life" From my personal experience I would like to add, your fire bombs are also gone forever once you use them
Thank goodness Elden Ring allows you to make bombs as long as you have the materials for it. Got 6 Cracked Pots? Cool, you can make 6 bombs of any kind as long as you have the additional material, even after you used them up!
Rewatching this in 2021 and I just realized that the overthrow of the dragons feels very similar to Norse mythology, where Odin and the other gods overthrew the giants and created the world as they wanted.
I love watching blind runs of my favorite game. Such a masterpiece. The deep themes and the symbolism of hope, despair, the question of what is the afterlife, purgatory, darkness. It's beautiful.
"How do you like playing games?" "Run and gun..." Oh boy are you in for a treat!! Have fun trying to rush through this game and getting your playstyle PUNISHED.
+Sunwakka after you learned what each enemy does, and whats the leash ranged of mobs, and where to run. Which every new player knows because they played, read the wiki before >.>
So strange coming back and watching this. They look so young. Hearing Rory learn these rules that are now so embedded in him is kind off amazing. Strange to think this harmless IGN feature ended up changing their lives.
I wanted to get into dark souls a little before dark souls 3 came out, but didn’t want to blow 60 bucks on a game I wouldn’t finish. I then bought dark souls one and this came out right after I started. It helped me get through, and now I’ve beaten those games 10+ times and I loved it. Thanks
I feel SO old rewatching this. It's been 7 years?!
PTT and RKG - Best freakin content on YT
I come back while I waiting for next Elden ring
At this point it is basically an annual tradition to watch through the different dark souls playthroughs. Just finished watching ds2 for like the 5th time, and now it´s back to the OG for like 6-7th time :).
Same fellow slug
Same
Same Michael
Same
Same lol
Dude said "that's rewarding.. that felt great" -pretty much sums up the souls series.
RKG humble beginnings. So glad the boys stuck with this.
It is crazy that this became a whole nother company and idea. Brilliant
Wait what?
@@Eshtian youtube RKG
@@jimandtomic Thanks! I had no idea this was a thing until today.
@@SunlightGwyn Got a lot to watch!!
15:19 Krupa's face "He might be pretty decent, this might not be so bad!"
Little did he know...

What is this? A good IGN video? Madness
Madness?!
illuminate confirmed
They stole the premise off of VideoGamerTV. Though that was bloodborne.
Adding dark souls makes anything good 😉
praise the lord
Rory: I guess security is pretty lax
Asylum Demon: U wot, mate?
My favorite part of these early episodes is that Krupa hasn't anticipated how much patience he is going to need to get though it
The boys were just getting to know each other back then. They've come so far
Just watch Retry: Sekiro Ep.21. Feels like commenting here.
I've done an entire binge watch of Dark Souls 2 over the holiday while getting decorations out.......
Now Im here, where it all began
Giving this a rewatch in 2022, cant wait for more from RKG
4:29 in and Gav is already talking about Wales
I was a boy until orenstein and smough made me a man
+King “XxDeadDrakexX” Drake right on son
+King “XxDeadDrakexX” Drake then tsmough beat you to good into tender steak then orenstein skewered you into bbq
I mean, you're not wrong.
+Jason Andrews it just sounds wrong
Playing as a thief, chooses the Master Key as a starting gift despite it saying the thief naturally has one.
Hasn't even started playing the actually game and he failed 😂😂😂
Hasn't even started playing the actually game and he failed 😂😂😂
Hasn't read the description, he's won't get far.
You're really wrong buddy,look at where he is now. :)
Red Baron bruh he picked the same starting item twice like an idiot.
Going back and watching this even with the new series! So good!
Same haha. This series is better than a lot of TV shows.
+sgtchestshot Such wonderful chemistry between the hosts.
yeah, although I could play it again, watching these guys play it is like experiencing the best parts of dark souls again
+sgtchestshot hey bro I'm back for a third round lol.
I'll maybe have to wait a while for my third haha
Going back to this one feels like re-watching an old favourite movie. So enjoyable!
gonna binge watch this whole series again.
+CurlyTail XXL same .this is one of the best series of videos i have ever seen . the three of them are awesome .#PraiseTheSun . #PowersCanParry.
So begins the saga of three idiot friends; slowly. losing. their. minds.
Anybody else back after finishing the Demon’s Souls play through?
Here 😄
I can't stop revisiting the whole series once a year. This was such an amazing journey!
8 years ago i found this by chance and im so glad i became a fan
Watching noobs play Dark Souls satisfies me..
We shall engage in jolly cooperation!
Praise the Sun!
+Moss praise dat incadecent sun praise it gud
+Moss I have never used the door at the beginning Ever.
sentient_potato do u even sun bro?
Daniel Dhol wat
Moss i sunbro like hell bruh
7 years and still a banger
So nostalgic
just finished rewatching this! great stuff.
Welp, time for the annual RKG Souls rewatch
Season 2 just ended. Time to watch through the whole thing from beginning to end again and wait for the third one.
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing the next few days. Man, I hope they play DS2 and Bloodborn as well... otherwise I'm sad.
Don't forget Demon's Souls!
Happy birthday from a primordial slug! Always thankful that this series grew far beyond the one-off that it might have been, giving us a fantastic set of series, and a vibrant and friendly community. We're all so thankful for the good times and great moments you've given us.

*And So a Legendary Series is Born*
"Can I throw pots?"
I'm dead.
I love this so much, he's like a hyper little kid discovering everything at 100mph while his parents give slow monotone advice in the background. Definitely watching the rest. no jimmy, right, right, you're other right jimmy, no jimmy, oh you got it anyways.
Cannot believe this was 5 years ago, crazy to see how far the lads have come
August 2023 and this still the best series ever 👌👌👌
"So Rory, idk if you know this about Dark Souls... When you rest at a bonfire all the enemies come back to life"
From my personal experience I would like to add, your fire bombs are also gone forever once you use them

Just watched the chalice dungeon playthrough. Good to see where it all began. How far we've come!
Rooting for you, Rory. 👍
+erinwomack thanks, Erin! He appreciates it.
+erinwomack x
Where it all started... I'm truly glad to have been a part of this when it first came out, and I'm thankful to have been here when it ended.
They are playing DS2 on their new channel RKG!
th-cam.com/channels/jH3Z_FeDE_hHM-OuSdevag.html
"ended" lol
Anyone else here after season 2 finale?
TheSgtkite I an
Iam that was meant to say
Same. This will be my second time rewatching the whole Prepare to Try series. it's THAT GOOD!.
#givethemboysjobs
KingHenryXIII Seen it three times for me
Lol, gotta top that!
Rewatching this in 2021 and I just realized that the overthrow of the dragons feels very similar to Norse mythology, where Odin and the other gods overthrew the giants and created the world as they wanted.
coming back to watch this after like a year, and this is honestly one of the best lets plays ive ever seen.
Coming back to where it all started
I love watching blind runs of my favorite game. Such a masterpiece. The deep themes and the symbolism of hope, despair, the question of what is the afterlife, purgatory, darkness. It's beautiful.
2020 time to re-watch the series
RKG Squad 💪🏻💪🏻
Watching this in 2021, well rewatching tbh
Still love
"Lack of security"
*next room has a huge Demon bouncer*
All most 3 years now and I still love this and all the slugs! Can’t wait for them in 2019!
Missed this series... and Rory... starting it again :)
On a nostalgia trip and watching through the first one again. I hope you boys are well and that the success continues.
The start of so many good memories...
"How do you like playing games?"
"Run and gun..."
Oh boy are you in for a treat!! Have fun trying to rush through this game and getting your playstyle PUNISHED.
+DaRealN8Doogie Dual crossbow master race.
Lol you can run past literally everything other than the bosses in this game
lol,tried it at Sen's fortress on my first playthrough... Didnt go too fucking well👌
+Sunwakka after you learned what each enemy does, and whats the leash ranged of mobs, and where to run. Which every new player knows because they played, read the wiki before >.>
+Sunwakka Yea, if you know your way around, but not blind.
Ah the memories :') Coming back to this after all this time to see PTTs humble beginnings once again!
Cant believe this is four years ago already. And so Im back for yet another run. The nostalgia is REAL.
Watching this series a second time because its the best/funniest lets play series on youtube
"He looks like he drank from the wrong cup in Indiana Jones!" That's gold!!
2:05 - Gav: Remember this moment Rory...
One of the best games of all time right here
"Be careful!"
"I'm _never_ careful."
"Ooy.."
So much fun going back to where it all started!
Thief+Master Key makes me want to cry
Watching the series all over again to see how far the banter bus has come. We slugs must keep the flame kindled!
Going back to where it all started while I wait for Elden Ring
8 years lads...
Can't believe it's been 8 years
>Chooses thief
>Chooses master key
>Meme arrows
>Mfw
Had to come back and watch the birth place of Finchy and the banter bus all over again, been loving the bloodborne series btw!
6 years ago today, a legacy was born
Rewatching this and seeing powers growth up to today makes me happy.
Watching again for the hundredth time. Rory looks 12.
Who would have thought that this was the beginning to something much bigger!
Read the item descriptions for lore. It's an awesome story.
It's 2024. There's a thunderstorm outside. As Gav laid down the intro thunder rolled in ominously. Good job, boys.
I always come back to these videos when i need cheering up.
Same! These series and IGN's BotW Linked Together series are my go-tos for when I feel depressed or sick.
STAMINA MANAGEMENT!
Ahhh the only good thing to come out of IGN. Finchyyyyy
I love all your subtle quotes from the office etc.
Not so subtle after a while.
Watching this again after their Bloodborne finale. Such a great series.
With the weekly wait for new Elden Ring episodes I think it's time to go back to where it all began.
going in for re-watch number 3
The 3 souls, above and beyond IGN.
_Gav - Dan - Rory_
Mar 14, 2016 - Dec 22, 2018
Wish i could forget Dank$ouls so i could experience it like the first time...
+PandaMofo Same ;_;
+PandaMofo you're saying that now...
I wish I could experience my 3th attempt again. I needed to bounce off a couple of times and watch some beginner help, before I got into it right.
Original episode 21 minutes, definitely a Gav edit.
Much love from a primordial slug.
15:26 "Hopefully that's gonna be the first parry of many"...
Just watched the last episode. This comment made me laugh quite a bit...
I remember my first playthrough spent like 2 hours trying to fight that tutorial boss with the broken sword.
Now that the boys have left IGN and Prepare to try is over, its time to a rewatch.
Anyone else coming back to see where it all started? 'It' being RKG ya slugs!
So strange coming back and watching this. They look so young. Hearing Rory learn these rules that are now so embedded in him is kind off amazing. Strange to think this harmless IGN feature ended up changing their lives.
Back on a nostalgia trip after the announcement that they are leaving. Finchy will live once more, as I revisit where it all began...❤👌
Krupa: This is going to take twice as long as I expected.
lol yeah you can say that
This is where it all started. Can't believe this was two years ago
And so the legend begins. Discovered the DS2 playthrough, I had heard about Prepere to try, but never knew it was Finchy.
Love seeing how far the lads have come from day one! #RKG
I wanted to get into dark souls a little before dark souls 3 came out, but didn’t want to blow 60 bucks on a game I wouldn’t finish. I then bought dark souls one and this came out right after I started. It helped me get through, and now I’ve beaten those games 10+ times and I loved it. Thanks
Anyone here in 2021?
Here in 2024, baby!
this is one of the best ign vids I've seen In a long time
Back again for the 3rd time. Ahh the origins of Finchy, and a couple beers with the boys. Doesn't get better.
does anyone know if they always had captions available?
I can't remember the last time I sat through an IGN video.
I usually click away in the first 10 seconds.
“What do you say? Want to go around again?” Don’t mind if I do
is it just me or is there a lot of tension in that room? haha
+Brice Heffinczk he probably won't come out of this series alive. So, yes.
+IGN thats a little pathetic. i mean, the game is actually pretty easy if you use your head and strategize
+ThatRougeTho Hey look! a liar!
he's a little unassertive kid. is obvious
+IGN U guys rush him way too much give him a break
"That's not realistic. My energy never runs out." Made my day
"Hopefully this will be the first parry of many..." - Oh, little did they know xD
But never the less: This series is great!
These are one of these rare gems from IGN that makes me feel like keeping my sub.
watching allll over again...thanks again guys
Thank you!
