not sure bout "any". Batman Arkham series allways had good camera. And its not really camera problem, but outdated targeting system of souls games. Its really bad. It should be nontarget long ago. The game would be 100 easier if I could choose a direction for my sword swings with a mouse and not use that lame ass target lock...but you know...cosoles and their retarded gamepads...

Camera is not just the worst boss in ER. He's unstoppable in Souls games since Demon's Souls, along side Gravity. Actually, Gravity is somewhat of an optional boss in Sekiro, but Camera is still unbeatable in that game.

[@SolaScientia]

Not having fall damage unless it's above a certain height is amazing; even falling off cliffs is more difficult in that game.

[@SnapImaX]

Considering the Zip category of speedruns where all you do is load the area of the final boss, then glitch so far away the floor unloads and it falls to its death to roll credits, yeah, Gravity and Camera are still the most powerful things in any FROMsoft game.

They're the kind who will ruin that table you just cleaned (or destroyed and left trash behind) or that bathroom stall you just sanitized. You know? The stuff that makes you wanna strangle those people but you know you can't cuz you'll get fired and get a criminal record if you did.

Im starting to think that we have a dedicated camera guy who just follows us from game to game, chronicling all of our failures.

[@l33fox]

The bit where’s he’s waving the cameraman out the way why he’s running in Peril, nearly dropped my phone watching this in hysterics 😂

[@Shushukabo]

I think that he wasn't waving him to get out of the way, but to turn around so the player could see where he's going. There are a bunch of older games which suddenly locked the camera in front of you in a chase scene to make it look cinematic, but it was always death guarantee since you couldn't see chasms and obstacles in front of you. Nice view of the boulder/towering boss/lava/swarm of flesh eating bugs rolling behind you though. Perfect clip.

[@kronoscatawana1740]

This is an opportunity to expand on. Bloopers and gag reels, the camera crew tripping up the bosses or mobs or each other.

The “Camera guy” has a definite spot for our Tarnished to die and do we die a lot!! Lol he views every angle, every stance, poise as we attempt to take down that boss, but wait he is in on it. There is a plot to take us out… so now I know we are not just fighting a boss but a duo-camera man as well. I need that boom mic guy on my team lol I’m hollering this is so funny 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Youkakun]

This was so accurate! Nothing kills you more often than an annoying camera angle.

[@AzraelSoulHunter]

There is very little to comment on here besides one thing... Camera SUCKS in From games. It gets especially bad on some bigger enemies and bosses (godspeed to any Tarnished that went to that closed area in that first dungeon you wake up in... I spend on that Tree Crocodile 6 FUCKING HOURS!!!). 0:06 Also this is a Basilisk. An iconic now enemy in the Fromsoft games. Shows up ever since Dark Souls 1 and never fails at giving you cancer... literally. It curses you and the Death Curse in the lore of this game I will explore later once we "hopefully" get to the certain boss tied to it far more. All you need to know is that staying in their clouds too long is a bad idea. 0:20 And yeah... The Death Curse effect is really metal.

[@stonebeard2194]

I love that the boom mic guy is eating lmfao… nobody who cares about sound would eat a gummy while recording. Hahaha… 10 out of 10

[@Color-Painter-Blue]

Those Screams are really funny to hear while he get crushed so many times. I imagined now how this looks like in the recording phase; A sound studio with perfect equipment,.. the Voice-Actor comes in, opens the Scripts and turning it to the correct page,.. then clears his throat, like someone who starts to have an important speech,... and then... starts Screaming!

[@JVeritas]

This has got to be the most relatable video of any Souls game. Oh, my gosh. So good. You rolled at the right time? Well, the camera says you rolled into it after the enemy jumped even though you were trying to roll backwards. I cannot tell you how many times I have ended up rolling the opposite way I had just rolled after an initial roll because the enemy moved an inch in one direction leading the camera to jump three feet in the other.

the camera is a nightmare in this game. Especially on keyboard and mouse.
