    The things you hate seem to be the very things that made these games the huge success they are. 😂 cool vid.

    Dark Souls: I love the setting in all of its scenarios and I think there is a great variety and all of them are very successful, when the game wants to be beautiful it is and when it wants to be more mundane it also achieves it. I even think that some of its scenarios manage to be as or more oppressive than those of a horror game.
    Regarding the DLC, I love Artorias, it is one of my favorite bosses in the trilogy.
    I like the combat system but something I don't like about it is that the enemy AI is sometimes very clumsy to deal with certain strategies such as turning around them and going for an attack from behind.
    Dark Souls 2: I like Majula, Dragon Shrine and the DLC scenarios, specifically something I liked about the DLC scenarios is that they feel like they are better crafted with alternative paths and clever shortcuts. Another thing I liked was the fight against the Fume Knight, it is my favorite boss in this game.
    I don't like the combat in this game; Mobility feels weird, straight attack trajectory is unreliable even with lock-on, and several of the enemy attacks hit you even if the animation indicates otherwise. I also don't like the difficulty curve in this game, there are choices that make the beginning of the game the hardest part and most of the time the bosses are much easier than the level that precedes them.
    Dark Souls 3: I love the pace of this game and the bosses, several of my favorites are in this game like Champion Gundyr, Pontiff Sulyvahn, and Gael. While I liked even the gimmick bosses the one that disappointed me the most was Yhorm the Giant, at least getting his weapon is cool though.
    Elden Ring: Of the From games I've played this has my favorite combat, I also like the enemies and several of the bosses. One thing I find odd is that it has a lot of really strong tools that are extremely accessible, I think this is where I was constantly debating whether to have an easy time using them or ignore them to make things a little more fun for myself.
    It's a personal thing but this game made me realize that I don't like open world games; when I was in a dungeon or stuck with a boss I was having a good time but when I was exploring not so much since dodging enemies is very easy.

    Also um, unrelated comment, but have you considered doing audio books? Your voice is AMAZING

      Thank you for the compliment 😊, I think I need to take voice acting classes for that? 🤔

    For demons souls remake I actually love the combat, I like how it feels like it has weight and impact. That being said it couldn’t hurt to implement Elden ring style jumping and charge attacks. What I don’t like however is the way certain items are hidden in either pure white or black world tendency. I like the idea of the system but I still have not 100% the game because of item placements within tendencies.
    For dark souls 1 I love the lore and the npcs but it’s really starting to show it’s age now. The only complaint I have that isn’t due to graphical limitations or clunky combat is probably the fast travel like you said and also the way covenants work with you losing a rank if you switch to another.
    Dark souls 2 I dislike the soul memory system for multiplayer and for some reason the equipment durability feels a lot weaker compared to any other game. What I love about DS2 is the build variety and bonfire aesthetics.
    Dark souls 3 has the best bosses and soundtrack of the dark souls games but I really don’t like a lot of the level design. I also dislike the noticeable lack of poise in comparison the the first two games.
    I love the lore and soundtrack for bloodborne but after 100% it I despise the chalice dungeons and will probably never play them again, which is sad because queen Yharnam is a fun fight but I’m not grinding 10 hours of chalice dungeons just to face her again.
    As for Elden ring I love the sheer amount of options you have open to you at most times, the implementation of some of their best combat mechanics and the amount of things there are to do in a single playthrough. I don’t like however the reuse of the same bosses for multiple encounters as well as the catacomb dungeons in general. A way they could’ve spared the repetition of the bosses would be to reuse bosses from their older games, they could’ve brung bosses from bloodborne and DS3 in just to fill those dungeons, I get that they would’ve been called lazy but I still think it would’ve been better than fighting the ulcerated tree spirits for the 7th time

    Great video man! Bloodborne is my favorite souls game but I also love demons souls, sekiro, and Elden ring. Playing these games for the first time is an experience that very few game can mimic. I love fromsoft for making the games they made as it changed gaming forever!

    Actually dark souls 2 as well as the other souls games including Bloodborne is supposed to teach you that every death you go through is a lesson as well that's exactly why some of the soul series kill you at the beginning of the game as a lesson

      Lol, some of it is just to fuck with the player. What would a rolling ball that you can't anticipate possibly teach you? You don't play the game moving inch by inch up each staircase

      @jarlwhiterun7478 no but every challenge in the dark souls series is supposed to be like trying to smash your head for a brick wall eventually with enough force you will break through that brick wall and you will achieve something great

    The remade Demon souls I agree they should have removed more things and make more changes like a new and different IP with a new name.

      @@Christopher-ro1dl I personally think demon souls has a good lore and creative bosses I just wanted a more refined gameplay or mechanics, more similar to DS3, but also I am not a game dev so I don’t know the ins and outs of that :)

    Bloodborne is my favorite game in the series, and I agree Micolash sucks. It’s completely random with how long that chase is: sometimes he takes like 15 secs to go where he needs to go to fight, and sometimes it can be like 5 minutes of chasing him. Micolash sucks and I always do the poison knife cheese strat because that Call Beyond attack is so bullshit. Love the game tho
