Dark Souls 1 Changed My Life

[@burn1none]

That line “don’t you dare go hollow” carry’s a ton of implications and conveys a huge amount of world building for 5 words. Dark Souls 1 is simply a masterpiece

[@skelebonezone]

the connections this game can make you feel with such simple sentences is astounding

[@Nero_PR]

A line with the same weight for me is the one in Demon's Souls uttered by Stockpile Thomas, saying: "You have a heart of gold don't let them take it from you". He was truly grateful to us for finding the hairpin which belonged to his daughter. In a fucked up, where doom almost certain to all, it is good to see that a little gesture of kindness can still make a world of difference in someone else's life. The Nexus still is one of my favorite hub worlds in the whole Soulsborne genre.

[@labakrapscalio451]

Dark souls helped me overcome opiate addiction. I was going through withdrawal while playing through it. The theme of perseverance in the face of hopelessness and suffering mirrored my actual real life situation. It was a great focus for me and it felt as though all the hurdles and tribulations I was overcoming in the game were a metaphor for my actual struggle. It will always be the game that helped me regain control of my life and helped me through the darkest part of me life. I'll be forever grateful to dark souls. 5 years clean, thank you dark souls

The souls series is one of those types of games that feel like once you play them enough, they’re no longer too crazy difficult so you can somewhat enjoy your time playing when you go back to it. It truly can be a comfort game if you’re passionate enough. P.S. congrats on the growth. Been here since 6k. Hopefully I’ll be in the same position as you 1-3 years from now.

[@mitochondriaman4798]

Y'know, this game helped me too, in a bit different way. I was suicidal, even attempted once. But I bought DS3, and it basically taught to me to not give up. I felt some kind of security, idk how to express it. "Praise the Sun" makes me think that even in the darkest times, a light will be found somewhere. Idk... I might sound paranoid to some cause basically a videogame made me reconsider my entire life. It made me want to try harder and harder, until I achieve my goals.

Not just like some random cute cat video that gives me a boost for two minutes, I mean like a full reset.

They never quite captured the atmosphere of Dark Souls 1 again - not even Elden Ring. It was very creepy and unsettling at times. Great game.

[@JMoore-vo7ii]

It's so odd. This game has probably influenced my life more than any other art or media. I look back on it with a special kind of nostalgia. The kind that is necessary for growth, change, and an appreciation for things in spite of the circumstances. It was beautiful. And yet, in spite of all of this, I still can't put into words what exactly makes this game so good. It just IS good, idk. Anyway, easy sub. Your channel is going crazy bro

[@flamingmanure]

"I still can't put into words what exactly makes this game so good. It just IS good, idk." probably cuz it was your first. your comment applies to pretty much all the souls games.

[@markopusic8258]

@@flamingmanure I would argue that DS1 did it best though, and that comes as someone who started with DS3 back in 2016 and didn't play the other games until 2020 (the souls games anyway, I did play Sekiro and complete one single run of Bloodborne somewhere in 2019). DS1 is by no means perfect, hell, the latter half of the game is honestly pretty shit in places and the remaster didn't even try to address the issues. But, DS1 is also the game that tried the hardest to create its own unique identity, through its level design, its lore, its NPCs, its take on a proper challenge... DS2 certainly had atmosphere, and Majula is easily the best hub in the Souls trilogy, but overall the game lost itself in production hell, leading to a lack of understanding of what made DS1 great especially regarding the difficulty aspect of the game. DS3 was the most polished of the 3, with the best bossfights by a long shot, but the game leaned heavily on reference to DS1 and thus lacked identity through most of its life, I'd say the game really became its own only with The Ringed City DLC. What I'm trying to say is, despite the fact that I think DS3 is the best of the 3, DS1 is the special one that couldn't be replicated. With all its merits and its flaws, it's THE Dark Souls experience in its purest form,.

I only just played DS1 last month and it was absolutely game changing. At first it was a nice game that reminded me of old school monster hunter, but it slowly immersed me in a way no other game ever has. Every portion of the corrupt and falling world is beautiful, and the world design, lore and music is amazing. Every bonfire felt like a huge victory, in a way that most video game milestones just don't. I have since played DS2, 3, BB, and am now doing the DS3 DLC, but nothing compares to that experience that DS1 provided. I have never watched a video of your's until today, but it seems from the comments that you have suddenly exploded in popularity. You seem to have stayed humble, and I hope you continue to do so.

Almost 75k sub soon my guy. You're the best and you deserve the world my dude. God bless.

[@JuliusCaesar103]

Don't think I've witnessed a channel grow so fast

[@ladyfox6705]

So your video just popped up in my recommendations (sometimes YT gets things right, haha) & seeing Dark Souls = me watching! Firstly, congratulations on your 70k subs! I subbed too 🙂 Yes, Dark Souls is a very special experience...I didn't get into video games (as a book-lover) until my child had flown the coop, & by the time I was introduced to FromSoft games, I was in my mid-40's. My first was Bloodborne, which hooked me in completely and I adore this masterpiece, & I've played them all except Demon's Souls as never had the opportunity (yet.) However, it was when I played Dark Souls Remastered in 2018 that I felt a HUGE connection to this gorgeous game world, the story, the characters and that inherent 'warmth' of the game deeply resonated with me & when I beat Gwyn and linked the Flame (as most do on their first playthrough) I sobbed like a baby, completely overwhelmed by ALL those deep emotions & felt ALL the feels 😢 I played Dark Souls blind, offline, & I fully immersed myself into the world, pondering all the tidbits of Lore I read through item-descriptions, NPC dialogue, environmental storytelling. I discovered the Great Hollow and Ash Lake by myself, as I could hear the sound of the echo-y huge space behind the illusory walls. I managed to complete most of the NPC questlines, & spent weeks just exploring every inch of the world & taking it all in. I didn't want Dark Souls to end & it truly did absorb itself into my soul, as silly as that sounds. For me, Dark Souls is like a warm hug from an old friend. The game is so comforting, & gives us hope. I love Dark Souls & it helped me through some very difficult times, so now, on my 6th playthrough, I'm attempting my first SL1 run!!! It's daunting to me, I never expected to make it very far, but here I am, sitting at the Bonfire with my dear sweetie, Solaire, and about to face O&S...eeeeekkkkk! - wish me luck XD As for other recommendations, I love Max Derrat's channel, where he talks in depth about Alchemy, ancient religions, philosophy etc in FromSoft games, Zullie for secrets and technical stuffs, & TheTarnishedArchaeologist for Elden Ring Lore from an Archaeologist's perspective, which is really really interesting! PS - I'm also currently reading Berserk for the first time because of the influence this incredible manga had on Miyazaki-San & FromSoft.

[@user-md7tc5nr3b]

I remember this video coming out and not watching it because I had been meaning to play this game for a while, waited for it to go on sale on steam (it took so long), came back to this video now after just beating the game, and damn so goddamn true bestie

[@labakrapscalio451]

[@Donkey_D_Kong]

Another goated video love this channel dont understand how it hasnt blown up yet

[@MrTooti1234]

never played it but keep engaging us in this way man. u rock

[@Klowborne]

As I'm writing this I'm also playing Dark Souls and reading Berserk, even playing the game on the switch too. Similarly it's come at a time in my life that I don't really know what I want to do. The past several years have been hard and before I played the first game I played the others and the world was often a comfort setting to learn about lore and play ocassionally since I tended to be pretty bad at it. One also gives me that odd feeling of comfort sitting at bonfires and relaxing, it's funny how a game meant to be frustrating and hard has provided comfort for so many people and like Berserk as of recently has inspired me to do better.

[@jakikok3769]

This particular video appeared on my recommendations today, naturally I clicked on it as a big fan of souls games and yeah, well said. I was kinda moved, I mean I always am when I hear all these people from far across the world going through dark souls, feeling how I felt, struggling like I struggled and coming out of it...changed, more appreciative of things. It never ceases to amaze me, thank you for your work on this video, you have earned a sub
