I’m 21 years old and have been playing dark souls since 2016 I have been playing Zelda since the Wii in 2008 when I was 6 and have played every Nintendo console since the Wii and have yet to hear the “Zelda and dark souls debate” they are two completely different games and both great.
@@RAIN_2001 or even 4chan, I recall Harman Smith saying he looked on there about these debates before or something in the past. But yeah Reddit or 4chan are my best guesses for this
@@RAIN_2001Lol, I'm on both the Dark souls and Elden Ring subreddits, and I can confidently say that no one on those subs is talking about Zelda in any competitive sense. The "Zelda vs Souls debate" is entirely in Harman's head.
I remember a Nintendo fanboy saying that dark souls & Skyrim copied Zelda because the devs TALKED about having an open world game like botw when they made twilight princess before Skyrim was made. I guess morrowind, Daggerfall, & arena just don’t matter. Every game with melee combat & exploration is “Zelda clones” now
"Nevermind that enemies (dark souls) look the same and move the same way" Bruh. I play zelda and my brother plays dark souls. He's 100% completely dissing zelda here; A game that has a fraction of the creatures you face in dark souls. While my brother fights 5 different creatures at once in a single area of DS i'm STILL fighting bokoblins
I only played Dark souls 2 the "complete edition" and as the "cheese-mage" and even that isn't easy. As Bosses are still bullet sponges, can insta-kill you in a corner. Being in a panic unfamiliar new room that could be tiny to having death pits. Or a Boss having 5-dozen minions. But still being oddly fun.
The funny thing about him bringing up Dark Souls 1 is he keeps on mentioning TOTK’s fusing. First off, TOTK came out 12 years after DS1, but ALSO: which Zelda game came out in 2011? That’s right. Skyward Sword! Everyone’s *favorite Zelda that nobody has any issues with whatsoever. Like when he brings up the whole “dark souls is better than zelda cus it’s harder with better combat!” Like bro I love SS, but yeah the handholding from Fi gets annoying the further you get into the game, and the combat is disappointing. Since every enemy has a directional weakness, you have to swing in a specific way, which kinda defeats the purpose of being able to swing your sword in any direction. Skyward Sword < DS1 btw and I love both of them haha
Skyward sword is better than post botw schlock. Botw formula is the most overrated formula of all time, its boring, unrewarding, and the durability mechanics are straight from sticker star.
I feel like this is an odd trend these days. It's becoming more common for people to bash a game in the process of praising another, even if there's no real reason to do so. Very odd.
He says dark souls is easy cause you can just shield. Then he says “dark souls is better cause it’s harder”…the logical consistency is astounding either way him
He is also a novelist and his writing is that of a 3rd grader with sentence fragments and grammatical errors. And his characters in Eye of The Dragon are called Lucille Langley and Jack Kiryu 💀💀💀💀💀
I love Zelda games but as I grew up I wanted more out of video games as a form of art. Dark souls 1-3 changed my perspective on gaming as a whole. The atmosphere alone is artistic brilliance. Idk maybe that’s just me.
Harman is such a mouth breather I am convinced he just sits there having arguments with himself all day until he gets mad enough to film one of these videos because I have never heard anyone else say any of the points he tries to make it has to just be his own inner monologue seeping through. If anything I'd bet most fans of souls likes started with and still have a lot of love for Zelda of old and new because normal adults are able to enjoy multiple things at the same time.
I got into soulsborne this year with Elden Ring it has quickly become my favourite series/genre (only one i havent played os is demon spuls ive started sekiro but need to go back and finish it).
Also please Harmon if you think you can just shield through bosses please try and do that Vs Gwyn Malenia Lady Maria Sister Friede Nameless King Soul Of Cinder Gehrman Ludwig The Accursed/Holy Blade
this dude is sub ambient temp IQ or trolling. He compare apples to oranges. Dark souls are action RPG that chose to not hold your hand. Zelda was originally a series of dungeons full of puzzles. Just because both games are third person with medieval weapons do not mean they are the same.
Is this guy the last Nintendo fan boy on earth or are all the rest of them pretty reasonable compared to him? i know that there is a zelda fan who was upset it lost game of the year but decided to play balders gate 3 to see why zelda lost, that is the proper way to react when your favorite game loses.
I have 200 hours in botw and 200 in Elden ring. Both are great in their own ways but he literally never brought up a good point towards Zelda, he says the combat is worse in Elden ring but he never mentioned the better npcs, the good puzzles, the quests, the shrines, the story etc. in zelda, He only mentioned things that Elden ring is better at lmao
I’m starting to really admire Harman. There’s a certain charm to his videos. The lack of an intro, the way he immediately gets to his rant, the way he immediately hits that pose, the raw, unedited, footage, the unscripted formula, it’s just chefs kiss.
talking about the amount of attacks bosses have, you don't even need Elden ring. Artorias, decent amount of moves, Ornstein and Smough. Pretty simple kit individually, but the bossfight isn't Ornstein or Smough, it's Ornstein and Smough, together, there's quite a few moves. So many others, but those ones were arguably the best bossfights in the game, so they get listed.
You know that he probably said this originally on some Reddit thread someone disagreed probably said Zelda was bad and this guy decided to make a video saying otherwise
People like this genuinely confuse me. Why can't you just like both? Or even do the bare minimum sane thing and just like what you like and let the others exist? I've played so many soulsborne games, and I also own a Switch and the two big Zelda titles. They are all fun. It's so weird to me to spend so much mental energy like this over a non issue.
Hey, the Tower of Spirits was cool, are you sure you aren't thinking about the Temple of Time from Phantom Hourglass? Now THAT was a garbage dungeon, those goddamn sound floors and dark levels, not to mention the hourglass mechanic
@@canadiangopnik7007 it’s hunt four terminals over and over again same as botw but this time without being able to move the dungeon. And there’s nothing of value to find in any of them. Temple of the ocean king had tons of the three gems to permanently upgrade abilities, best way to grind boat(including golden) ship parts, and you were rewarded with great loot for completing the temple with better times. Also, unlocking the ability to stun, then kill phantoms was awesome
@@firenze6478 I'm not talking about rewards, you NEED to do the ToT to progress the story, of course it has good rewards, I'm talking about the dungeons themselves
@@canadiangopnik7007 and how is the same mini dungeon 8 times in a row good? The only thing totk added was atmosphere and at the cost of making the dungeon even more generic.
I don't even see where the two are comparable. Zelda is an adventure/puzzle game, where dark souls is a challenge combat/boss kind of game, where you need to learn boss patterns and master the mechanics.
I don't even think that anyone's talking about Dark Souls being better than Zelda, at least not any more. When people *were* making that comparison, it's because Dark Souls was bringing genuine discovery to every aspect of its gameplay at a time when Zelda was touting discovery as part of its game, but absolutely *terrified* to let you discover anything on your own. Dark Souls lets you figure out what buttons you have to press to play the game, that this world has traps for you, that it has challenges you can come back to, that it has challenges with easier solutions than you expect, that it has entire WORLDS that you can miss unless you look for them. Skyward Sword needed a splash screen to tell you that you picked up an item, when you'd already picked that item up before. And I think that's the thing. I *don't* view Dark Souls as a combat/boss-focused game, at least not more than Zelda. I play it as an exploration-focused game. And the boss fights are just another element of exploration where it's up to ME to figure out what to do. Miyazaki has said Souls takes from Zelda. But it also takes from Ico and Vagrant Story and many others. And what it takes from those is a willingness to back off and let *you* figure it out. Nintendo kinda got on this train with BotW but even still they struggle not to wiggle back to their comfort zone. And some people prefer a more guiding hand, and that's fine, but people who like Souls games don't.
dark souls is closer to monster hunter not saying it is a rip off but i was able to take my skills from playing monster hunter and use it in dark souls
darksouls being boring that knew never felt bord playing it scare that a ennemy was going to jump out at me around a corner my first play through yes but not bored
I love both franchises dark souls and Zelda dark souls or souls games in general are challenging and I like that about them one series isn’t better than the other their both excellent in their own way you can tell this guy has never played a souls game or has no idea what he’s talking about cause of how he talks about it I mean any person that has played the souls series and I’m one of those people that has will tell you that there’s nothing even remotely similar between the two franchises not even a little bit
It’s painful how he’s talking about the things that literally every Zelda fan hates about the franchise I mean the armor that’s fun but that’s like every video game and two no one likes the durability on weapons take that away we don’t want that please help us 😰
Zelda and dark souls are a bit alike. Both take you on adventures and are greater than the sum of their parts. Dark Souls gave me what I felt was lost with botw which was that sense of adventure. A game giving you freedom and adventure are very different things with very different goals.
I hate the argument of ds1 bad because the bosses only have one or two attacks. Even just staying in ds1 I would say someone like atoreus is one of if not the best bosses in the three ds games
As someone who absolutely loves BoTW and ToTK, and Has enjoyed titles like elden ring, sekiro and lies of P, I just dont understand, They are obviously two very different types of games (souls-like and zelda games) I enjoy the nintendo ones because its low difficulty and enjoyable story experience, I enjoy souls titles because its challenging, you can become absolutely badass, The thing I loved about sekiro was how cool your character is after parrying everything and then clapping your enemies, But the difficulty is far more harder than anything a zelda game can offer. I enjoy a far range of games I mean one day Ill play elden ring, the next I might just wanna take a break and have a slow and relaxing experience and then hop on stardew valley, Now I havent fully watched the video, But dark souls is nothing like zelda, I guess its comparable to some extent, but calling it a zelda rip off is too much, I mean elden ring is the only souls like that is actually open world, the rest you follow a set path, so dark souls isnt even an open world game, even if they were all open world, so what? I think the message to take away is, Who actually cares what this couch potato slob thinks? just some twitter user irl redditor making up nonsense cause he sucks at the one that actually offers a challenge but is capable of doing the one that is meant for a relaxing story driven experience, Thats not to say that dark souls isnt story driven, but lets be honest, I had no fkn idea what elden ring story was even about until I watched a lore video.
I can't with this guy. Dark souls and zelda are not similar in any way to compare, and nobody claims DS is better. I mean dark souls and zelda are both my top games in the last century.
Harmon Smith is mad because he's a filthy casual.. stack Bloodborne up against ANY Zelda game and see how much better the combat is, and how much more SKILL based the SoulsBorneKiroRing games are..
I’m not a huge fan of dark souls games. Or any souls like tbh. But at least I can admit I don’t like them because I play games to have fun and relax and I’m criminally bad at souls games. So they just piss me off
This guy must be high because I have both Zelda and Dark Souls. Also Dark Souls is also on Switch. Not just that both Zelda and Dark Souls don't even play the same.
This dude is seriously projecting. He's the one who is fixated on a single platform. You can love a variety of games despite what platform they are based on.
For you riding reviewers out there: if you wanna talk shit about a game, MAKE SURE YOU ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME, like I hate Fortnite with every fiber of my being, and yet I have played the game when it was relevant. I have played Duke Nukem Forever and Rouge Warrior, so it’s fine if I criticize them. I’ve played Doom 3, but I really enjoy the game, despite the slower pace, it reminds me of Dead Space, and I love Dead Space.
By Harmon's own logic, if two games appeared on the same console but with slightly differnt gameplay and less mechanacs, the latter is a terrible game. So, he is saying Kirby and Mario are interior to Metroid.
I have a friend that will complain on a game because the game has a similar mechanics as one he like. Like he didn't play fallen order or survival. Because it has a bonfire like mechanic.😂😂😂 I was like bro I play because it's fun if you don't play a game because they took some mechanics that are popular then your going to miss out on some really good games. Then he started playing fallen order.😂😂
U know what is sad in this case, skyrim is on the switch and they made the decision to put it on there so if it was as bad as he said he must be angry they put it on the switch right.
I avoid nintendo games, and I avoid nintendo consoles, correct. But hey if Majora's mask gets a HD remaster that isn't on the 3DS, you know I'm buying a console for it.
I started playing dark soul 1 on the switch a year ago ive fallen in love with the game however when i played totk it was really bland compared to botw because it was just like botw. im not trashing on either im just saying they both have their flaws like totk story wasnt too good and like he said dark souls has lost izalith and bed of chaos.
First
I love the projection where he goes on a spiel about how people think “Nintendo is for babies” when nobody brought that up, really exposes his own insecurity.

Often it is caused by enlarged adenoids due to infection, allergies, or excess fat. If I had to guess, he isn't chronically ill.

Bro needs a screen for all this projection holy shit
Dude, like bro thinks that everyone who slightly thinks that dark souls is good thinks that every other game does not matter
Zelda and dark souls are a bit alike. Both take you on adventures and are greater than the sum of their parts. Dark Souls gave me what I felt was lost with botw which was that sense of adventure. A game giving you freedom and adventure are very different things with very different goals.
I hate the argument of ds1 bad because the bosses only have one or two attacks. Even just staying in ds1 I would say someone like atoreus is one of if not the best bosses in the three ds games
As someone who absolutely loves BoTW and ToTK, and Has enjoyed titles like elden ring, sekiro and lies of P, I just dont understand, They are obviously two very different types of games (souls-like and zelda games) I enjoy the nintendo ones because its low difficulty and enjoyable story experience, I enjoy souls titles because its challenging, you can become absolutely badass, The thing I loved about sekiro was how cool your character is after parrying everything and then clapping your enemies, But the difficulty is far more harder than anything a zelda game can offer.
I enjoy a far range of games I mean one day Ill play elden ring, the next I might just wanna take a break and have a slow and relaxing experience and then hop on stardew valley, Now I havent fully watched the video, But dark souls is nothing like zelda, I guess its comparable to some extent, but calling it a zelda rip off is too much, I mean elden ring is the only souls like that is actually open world, the rest you follow a set path, so dark souls isnt even an open world game, even if they were all open world, so what?
I think the message to take away is, Who actually cares what this couch potato slob thinks? just some twitter user irl redditor making up nonsense cause he sucks at the one that actually offers a challenge but is capable of doing the one that is meant for a relaxing story driven experience, Thats not to say that dark souls isnt story driven, but lets be honest, I had no fkn idea what elden ring story was even about until I watched a lore video.
I can't with this guy.
Dark souls and zelda are not similar in any way to compare, and nobody claims DS is better. I mean dark souls and zelda are both my top games in the last century.
Harmon Smith is mad because he's a filthy casual.. stack Bloodborne up against ANY Zelda game and see how much better the combat is, and how much more SKILL based the SoulsBorneKiroRing games are..
I’m not a huge fan of dark souls games. Or any souls like tbh. But at least I can admit I don’t like them because I play games to have fun and relax and I’m criminally bad at souls games. So they just piss me off
This guy must be high because I have both Zelda and Dark Souls.
Also Dark Souls is also on Switch.
Not just that both Zelda and Dark Souls don't even play the same.
I genuinely dont think Harman is a real person. It has to be a persona. No one could possibly be this delusional while talking into a camera
This dude is seriously projecting. He's the one who is fixated on a single platform. You can love a variety of games despite what platform they are based on.
For you riding reviewers out there: if you wanna talk shit about a game, MAKE SURE YOU ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME, like I hate Fortnite with every fiber of my being, and yet I have played the game when it was relevant. I have played Duke Nukem Forever and Rouge Warrior, so it’s fine if I criticize them. I’ve played Doom 3, but I really enjoy the game, despite the slower pace, it reminds me of Dead Space, and I love Dead Space.
I like how from soft got ideas from loz In regards to elden ring
By Harmon's own logic, if two games appeared on the same console but with slightly differnt gameplay and less mechanacs, the latter is a terrible game. So, he is saying Kirby and Mario are interior to Metroid.
I can't wait for him to make a video about how DMC 5 is bad because Bayonetta 3 is a Nintendo game thus it must be better.
He seems like he lives in an echo chamber 😅
I have a friend that will complain on a game because the game has a similar mechanics as one he like. Like he didn't play fallen order or survival. Because it has a bonfire like mechanic.😂😂😂 I was like bro I play because it's fun if you don't play a game because they took some mechanics that are popular then your going to miss out on some really good games. Then he started playing fallen order.😂😂
Anything that has Swords in it rips off Zelda. -Harman Smith probably
U know what is sad in this case, skyrim is on the switch and they made the decision to put it on there so if it was as bad as he said he must be angry they put it on the switch right.
As a huge ( traditional) zelda fan. I see nothing of zelda in souls.
Zelda is more like metroid prime or even gow.
Would love to be able to play Souls without dodge rolling xD lmao
I avoid nintendo games, and I avoid nintendo consoles, correct.
But hey if Majora's mask gets a HD remaster that isn't on the 3DS, you know I'm buying a console for it.
I started playing dark soul 1 on the switch a year ago ive fallen in love with the game however when i played totk it was really bland compared to botw because it was just like botw. im not trashing on either im just saying they both have their flaws like totk story wasnt too good and like he said dark souls has lost izalith and bed of chaos.
Why can’t these game just co-excise?
