[@combatbenyamin]

+Adam J He's probably referring to the framerate. I really wish people used the proper terms for these things...

[@LucyPero]

***** This comment I found on the Steam forums sums this up perfectly: "Lag is a common word meaning to fail to keep up or to fall behind. Lag is also often used in reference to video games to describe the delay (or latency) between an action by a player and the reaction of the game. so by the definition alone.....anything that slows the game whether it be internet or not....is LAG" " "Lag" is perfectly applicable to frame rate, as in, the rendered frames are lagging behind the actions performed." So, using "laggy" in this context is definitely a "proper term for these things". If you know a word that describes low framerate in a more "proper" manner, then please let me know ;)

I actually really respect their use of real locations. It explains why some zones do feel so human, but grand at the same time. Rather than making something so outlandish you feel taken aback they give you something real that is so grand it fits right into the rest of their world.

[@pinktrash2720]

Their use of real locations is the first thing they would do. In design, it's called 'reference'. They'll take a lot of pictures, put it together and create a moodboard for a specific area they like to design. It would be really hard and would take a long time if you'll try to make something that's not real or inspired from reality. I work in concept design, and one of the things we would take into consideration are things that are familiar and something what we can easily identify ourselves in.

Maybe I'm just weird.

Eric Stilthool - Easy to say until you spend a very long time making something incredibly easy by these standards. Many people still look at certain ancient structures today and believe there was no humanly possible way to have built them without some grossly misunderstood method at the time. That is how hard they were. Complex enough that we still haven't discovered how they did it.

[@OttoGrainer27]

Eric Stilthool Yeah right, revolutionary... You know what Hertz said when asked about the ramifications of discovering radiowaves? "Nothing, I guess. [...] It's of no use whatsoever." Shows what he knew. Up until the 19th century, scientists still thought electricity and magnetism were completely separate things. Newton's gravitational theory had flaws. Einstein's alternative has flaws. Gravity doesn’t fit in with the universe’s other three fundamental forces: the electromagnetic, the weak, and the strong. To date, gravitons are still undetectable. More to the point, what the fuck has this got to do with ancient buildings? We saw the effects of waves, it adds evidence to theories. This means nothing. You don't need to quote a guardian article that has been _"corrected"_ to argue a point. I have no idea what you are trying to say, did first nation people have telekinesis? We know very little about how they cut rock so cleanly, we know even less about gravity.

The last place is Craco Vecchia (Italy, Basilicata). It is a small village initially abandoned around the 60s and finally in 1980 after an earthquake that caused parts of the city to collapse. Today it is called "ghost town". When I first visited it a few weeks ago, as I approached I thought "Wow I'm in Dark Souls". The video does not do justice to what you find when you arrive: crows flying over abandoned and destroyed buildings, the disturbing silence of a place where other people used to live and where now everything is motionless and still in time and finally a small cemetery near the city, with its lighted candles.

Ive been through that area about 6 times and have not died once to them. Just get a big shield (like eagle shield shield) remove armour to run faster, run with raised shield all the way to the ledge theyre on, then run up to archer on right with shield raised, stay as close as possible to ledge and then he should fall off, if he doesnt just kick him off

Your channel's great. I love how you mainly mock the game industry but still appreciate these cool parts of it. Also good music choice :)

I love it when video games base their locations on real places. It's one of the very few things in games that hasn't changed since the very beginning, and that makes me very happy.

I really love how well the Souls/Borne games integrate art history to inform and reinforce the lore, worldbuilding, and sometimes storytelling. If there's anything I gained from my art education, it's a deeper appreciation for the art direction choices of these games lol
