How to be a souls veteran: Just skip some of these things. You are still a badass if you couldn't beat Demon of Hatred. Here's your pacifier. Now let me tuck you into bed.
Nah he valid, I played it too and it sucked for a souls game, I feel I would have enjoyed it if it wasn’t a dark souls title, there’s a reason it’s so disliked by the souls community, it feels like a fan made game by a completely different developer
@@Hatorzo nah it was dog water brother, wish it wasn’t it’s actually the reason I got into dark souls, got dark souls 1 because I saw radbrad playing ds2 on TH-cam before it came out, my disappointment was immeasurable when I got ds2.
Bwahahaha DS2 is the masterpiece that made DS into absolute legend. Just as a reminder, just remind me how is the scaling of lightning weapons in DS1, just for fun
Bro fucking same I always thought dark souls was a fucking rpg game for some reason when I was younger I always saw the game everywhere and I never thought of buying it cause I hate rpg games
@@breadisyummy_Bloodborne is undeniably the best souls game not even lying, I used to hate it for some weird notion I had that it was just a weird knockoff of dark souls made from the same people but now it’s undeniably my favorite one, the only one that comes close(but gameplay honestly didn’t age too well) is the first Dark Souls, def hop on bloodborne, everything about it is top tier.
Same, my first was elden ring cause there was so much hype around it then I fell in love with it and started playing sekiro and am playing Bloodborne now
I love dark souls 2, sir alonne is my tied favourite boss with lady Maria in the series but it’s no where near a masterpiece, the game has many many flaws but it’s still enjoyable just like the rest of soulsborne
I did demon's souls, Dark souls 1, Dark souls 2, Dark souls 2 scholar of the first sin, Bloodborne, Dark souls 3, Sekiro, and then Elden Ring, in that order. Fun games.
God damn i hate to be that guy so im really sorry for what im about to say. But fume knight to me is really fun and a nice balanced fight, hes not tooooooo hard like that stats say, but hes also not super easy. Just have like 15-25 adp and you can roll through all his attacks. He is also fairly slow and open to attacls following several of his ultra greatsword attack. Just learn your patterns and your set.
Conditions to be a souls veteran(in my opinion and how I did it): -Beat all games and kill all bosses in all games from DeS to ER(plat is optional but if obtained even better) -have at least 1 sl1 or a bl4 completed Feel free to validate or invalidate my title
With all souls games, you can't be a souls veteran if you only played one game even if you spend a thousand hours in it and become the best in that game, cuz anyone can beat your ass in any other souls game. That's why this dude is a bumbaclot for skipping ds2 and demon souls
I classify myself as a souls vet, but I haven’t played Sekiro, or finished bloodborne yet, however my mastery of completing every thinkable challenge run for dark souls 1 and 2 makes up for it I believe.
DS2 was a technical masterclass and the level design was top notch, but it is an unpleasant experience if the “brokenness” of these games isn’t appealing
I've played the fromsoft games for almost a year and i'm still addicted to them i beat ds1 (all endings + sl1), ds3 (all endings), sekiro (all endings), and elden ring (only base ending but 3 times on the same account and beat malenia everytime with no cheese), i'm still saving up for ds2, bloodborne, and demon's souls.
@@joshuakulkarni7437 most of the DS community pretty much agrees that it’s the weakest DS game. I disagree with that notion though, it was my first one and I loved it so damn much
But the unfair part aren't the bosses just the stupid run backs or how they place like 10 enemies in front of a boss room after you sprinted there for 10mim xD Best was when I killed the boss and instantly those 10 enemies would rush in the boss room and Finnish me off when I was out of healing man this made me wonder if they ever playtested the game
Good on you bro. Theres only 1 I havent 100% and it's Elden Ring. I finished using every build type, collecting every item I mean every item across the souls games. It's a feeling of accomplishment and you end up starting over again lol
How to tell you are not a souls veteran without telling you are not a souls veteran: Skip ds2 and doesn't even mention demon's souls, like this strange fetus that we are listening.
Souls veteran is Get every achievement for every souls game. I’ve done all apart from bloodborne and demons soul’s because I do not own a $400 magic box sold by Sony
I’ve beaten DeS, DS1/2/3, Elden Ring, Bloodborne, and most recently Sekiro (DoH included) and if you give Souls games an honest to God shot, good on you. It’s a tough genre to get into but the dopamine pay off for beating a game is extreme
Just play all of them as you enjoy them. If you start with dark souls 1 and you hate it, move on to 3 or bloodborne, then come back to 1. And don’t skip 2, just experience it how it is and not how you want it to be.
I've played demon souls, DS1, DS2, DS3, bloodborne, Sekrio, and Elden ring all of them to completion with DLC and dlc to come In the span of 2 years. What I’m trying to say is We are not the same.
I'd play ds1, ds2, and demon souls before ds3. It has so many homages to the other two games and has storm ruler from Demon souls. Those homages have so much more impact when you play the papers first
@@darklord9419 Sekiro is great and shouldn't be slept on. The combat system is fantastic, but nothing like the other Fromsoft titles. If you play the other games and then Sekiro it will be very challenging to get into the aggressive playstyle needed for Sekiro
@evansabir1175 The only reason i don't play to be honest is that my wallet is always empty. But before I played any fromsoft games, I played a lot of games with bosses that gave you about a millisecond to react, so I didn't really struggle with the dark souls games, but bloodborne kicked my ass and my only problem with elden ring was finding the first boss
Damn so I've played PS5 Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1, 2, and 3, and Elden Ring totaling to about 3000 hours over 5 years, but I've only got like an hour in BB so I guess I'm not a vet😔
I've played all the soulsborne games, and I gotta say the only real problem I had with Bloodborne is that the game feels like it would be qtleaset 10x better with 60 fps. The timing of things in the game felt off. To me, it felt like they weren't originally meant to be played on capped 30 fps.
I played Demons souls when it came out. Wasn't for me, but I played it. I am no vet for DS, but i played Elden Ring a lot, and loved it. Only spent 40 hours in it.

Honestly DoH is one of the easier bosses once you understand his moveset. Headless Ape duo fight was always a bit spicy tho.
