Dark Souls 2 is actually easy, guys.

In an attempt to mend broken promises from long ago, I manage to put together another journey through the valley of nostalgia.
After so many hours of thinking of ways to make a good sequel, I realized there is no way to top my first dark souls video. Combine that with the fact that my life is a roller coaster right now, and the fact that I've been working on this video since late october, I'm just glad the video is finished. I hope at the very least any soul to witness this will enjoy it.
Music from this video in order:
- Dark Souls 2 - Skeleton Lord
- Waltz of the Flowers (by Tchaikovsky) - Tchaikovsky
- Dark Souls 2 - Majula
- Sonic Unleashed - Arid Sands (Night)

One year at a time, guys.

[@Apathetion]

you’ve been sleeping for too long

[@valentinalvarezmurua5849]

You do you my friend I've laughed really hard watching your vids so I'll watch whatever you upload when you upload

[@MPeckification]

I think what we, as fans, like about you so much is that your posts actually have a lot of effort behind them. It's not a reliable schedule, and it's certainly not the most important thing going on in your life. But when I saw the thumbnail "posted 8 hours ago" I thought "omg they're still doing this?! For us?!" Best parasocial Christmas present ever. Thank you, JSM.

Absolutely

[@RadXader]

Thats the only good part of ds2

[@carcosa_swamp]

For all the issues DS2 has I believe Majula is the best hub in the series by far. Love the music and slowly populating it with people you find throughout the game

[@songdaniels9960]

[@ShadeTavish]

It's so beautiful that first shot you get of it too

[@windflier1684]

DS1: I was goin' down for the last count. And I knew it. But I still have my soul. It's still mine. ALL mine. The folks up there, at Shady Rest, they have theirs' too. And they're gonna keep em. Ever' single one. 7/10 DS2: When I was hollow, I once met this beautiful girl by the lake. 9/10 DS3: Dank ass tomb, no clever quotes. 1/10

[@rohitchaoji]

@@mistercrowley5173 Hey at least we got Andre in that one. That makes it a minimum 5/10.

Majula is the essence of nostalgia in the souls series imo

I had the cheekiest grin the whole time while watching this video, thank you so much for making it! I love Dark Souls 2’s clunkiness and goofiness so much, the audio quality on the explosions always cracks me up LMAO! Hilarious editing as always 😊💕

[@fbmb1337]

The only bad thing about this video is its making me wanna give DS2 another go. Glad to see stuff from you despite everything else.

Go for it !

[@Masterofhammers]

Honestly the longer videos take the better they get in my opinion. Take your time and don't rush everything. We will laugh nonetheless

[@ramrodbldm9876]

Make sense next time you talk. Edit: Also,speak for yourself, "we will laugh nonetheless", you don't know a dayum person on his subscriber list, not one "besides maybe your bf", so don't speak for anyone but your 🤡 self. Understand 🌽🏀? Now 😺sy like I said speak for yourself

[@martinyepez9323]

Miss really this kind of your videos 😂, they are awesome, keep going lad 🙌🏼

[@rds204]

I love the editing, great work!

[@MintyCow101]

i actually like dark souls 2 more than 3, i think its because of the story. What it truly means to be hollow, trying to rediscover who you are and why your even on this quest, not giving up when it seems impossible to go on. Plus the music and omg the first time i saw the Milfinito 😢 their singing brought me so much peace.

[@TheConspiratorist]

The diverse biomes across the game were also extremely welcome. The approach to Drangleic Castle was just *chef's kiss*. Don't get me started on the Dragon Aerie. Archdragon Peak was just a hollow imitation.

[@ThePseudologist]

Dark Souls 2 has a better story than 3, aside from maybe the last DLC. 3 in general felt smoother and more fun to play though

[@quelquundebien.9283]

These tf2 voicelines in the middle of your editing always give me thrills Keep up the good work man you're awesome

[@alexraiford8103]

Bro between the music, the editing, and the very obviously natural play through shinanigans, I laughed way harder at this than I should have. I was practically in tears every time aldia popped up as the cherry on top of your shitstorm that’s always happening. That being said ds2 has a special place in my heart and I will never forgive you for being disappointed in it ;).

[@slinkyslink5161]

None of the souls games are "that good" imo. I've played all of them multiple times each, and I've come to belive that they aren't really worth all the praise and acclaim. They aren't bad, but there are plenty of other action rpgs that do stuff better. The main thing that pulled everyone's eyes to souls was the supposed "difficulty" and people's desire to prove themselves on it.

[@zamany7596]

@@slinkyslink5161 eh tbh no boss in the ds trilogy is hard but I like the character customisation and I havent seen any game replicate it

[@slinkyslink5161]

@@zamany7596 still, the games have a reputation of being difficult wether its true or not. That got people's attention, therefore exposing it to mainstream, therefore getting played by people who only play mainstream games and who don't really play rpgs. It's like how everyone was praising skyrim even though it wasn't really anything special as an rpg. It's just that it was the first mainstream elderscrolls, so it was revolutionary to all those people who only play CoD and Madden.
