Dark Souls III First Playthrough (Pt. 1)

Find me at: linktr.ee/lobosjr It's finally here! A blind playthrough through Dark Souls 3. -- Watch live at / lobosjr

[@vejolta]

ok. Time to take a break from dark souls 3 after playing for 10 hours straight by watching a video about dark souls 3.

[@TheMike0088]

+vejolta same here my man

[@MrTelboy]

+vejolta I recently finished the game myself, now to binge watch all DS3 content.

[@sadmire]

+MrTelboy exactly what I'm doing too lmao

[@TheMike0088]

***** imo the best boss fights in dark souls 3 (note, I'm still missing the archdragon peak boss and the soul of cinder boss) are abyss watchers, the pontiff, the lothric brothers and, to a lesser extent, aldrich. the worst however are definately tree, crystal sage and the deacons. however, the deacons are bad in a fun way as you can do all kinds of shenanigans with them in NG+ (firestorm them, WoG them, pillar of light them, mow them down with gundyrs halberds' charge attack,...)

[@TheMike0088]

***** yeah, but you see how that can be fun too, right? also, now that I finished the game: holy shit nameless king is amazing. for me personally the best boss we ever had in any soulsborne game.

[@onirider914]

Lobos: Just dark souls 3 Narrator: Yes, indeed.

[@ApoteosisGuitar]

+onirider I wanted to make a second character yesterday: -"Do I have to sit through the whole freakin cinematic??" -"Yes, indeed" But it's skippable haha

[@TheMrMinish]

Also it is called Lothric (reply late af)

[@trevorsiple8433]

Doesn’t he usually make a “normal” character when he plays something for the first time and also I know I’m late by like two years but still

Glory to Lobos the Legend ! I have waited for this for a long time....your playthroughs are amazing...your skill...legendary... And now, I get to enjoy your glory once again. Rejoice my brethren, for the Great Wolf is unleashed again !

[@McTavish_221]

3rd time watching this. Lobos first playthrough runs are the best

[@ayeyobossman6151]

Dude I just started this game. Actually really encouraging to see that even somebody who is considered very good at souls games misses parries and dies a few times

[@lsfaraone]

Granted, they really messed with parry timing in 3 to the point where it takes a lot more practice. A lot of things they changed a bit too much in terms of what makes Dark Souls, y'know, Dark Souls. If you play it like it feels, like the game this one shares the same engine with, Bloodborne, it's not very difficult, which is kind of sad, tbh. Just wear minimal armour, equip a giant sword, and just roll through everything. For whatever reason they deigned it so to mess with all the things that made the prior games more interesting to me, y'know? Blocking is a lot less effective, especially against bosses. They kept the weight load change from 2, which is kind of nice, but they really messed up the effectiveness of armour, even in the several patches they did with the DLCs. And fat roll is nigh-guaranteed to get you killed in most boss fights, which wasn't nearly as much of an issue in the prior titles. Still a good game, but just feels wrong to me. I think the big issue is he was playing this like how it should have been played, but the devs played around too much with the wrong things to make things a bit TOO fast-paced, imo, so he ended up getting smacked around for it.

[@DearOctave]

@@lsfaraone regarding parry, I think the medium shield's timing is slower in here. but when using Caestus, I feel like it's the same as using medium shield in DS1 to parry, the timing that is.

[@countdread6467]

@@lsfaraone Started my first playthrough today. I agree parrying is a little different. Relearning it all over lol. 👊

[@brushogun2051]

@@lsfaraone all they did to the parry timing was make it more realistic. The lighter the tool the faster the parry window activates and vice versa. I personally love the changes they made to ds3. The influences from bloodborne are clear but i do agree i miss the ds1 qualities that feel so homey

[@amintron]

dont worry ds3 parry sucks

[@Sewo739]

"Oooooh...?! I need more dex? Gross! ...." This made me laugh harder than it should have.

[@alexchitwood477]

Thanks for all the great content Lobos! I'm looking forward to your dlc2 playthrough. Hope to catch it live!

[@zombieslaya1029]

JESUS CHRSIT the music in this game is sooooooo good, as soon as the soundtrack comes out seperate from the collectors edition i will be buying it most definitely....that is if that ever happens LOL

[@Zanbatoss]

My standard pre order comes with the soundtrack

[@Lunk42]

[@rickyhorror]

Damn, that was fast. I didn't expect you to upload this so fast. I'm glad you did!

[@cucubits]

I like that you actually stop from time to time and look at the surroundings. This is much better than others who just fumble around from one bonfire to another, completely missing the point (ex. Northernlion or Shinyrarquaza) Good job!

You know what'd I love to see from a fromsoft game? An npc, where if you skip their dialogue, their prices just go up by 5% every time. Just to fuck with the players :P (And to mess with speed runners)

Lol cool concept and it what I'd love to see

[@Sepilein1]

i want a npc or even better a skippable cutscene where as soon as you hit skip the npc say´s "you cannot skip me my dear" it would fit so good for the old firekeeper womans. For the film scene you just see the 3 firekeepers on her table in dark souls 2, starting too look at you and laughing

[@QuestionableObject]

How about no. Rather not listen to the same dialogue 1000 times

[@danymcginnis2864]

I played the game for several hours for the first time and then I watched your playthrough to compare how we both did. I did very poorly apparently hahaha. But then again, I'm just a filthy casual. Thank you for showing me all I need to know for this first part of the game. Entertaining to watch AND super freaking useful. You're the man Lobos.

[@plinkage]

ive watched enough of lobosjr's playthroughs now (surge, varous ds/ds3 challenge runs, visage, hzd etc) that i think i should dedicate some time to watch him play my fave ds game. time for a journey.

"Tis a strong foe Arisen" Why Lobos. y u do dis to me

I absolutely love this game, this series, the lore, the respect they require from their fans and supporters. While I think Dark Souls 3 has a bit too much fan service towards the older entries in the series i love what they delivered.
