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.

[@ghostly5.096]

Absolutely

[@XDrotkon]

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

[@ID-nocturne]

ds2 vanilla was better.

[@ShadeTavish]

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

[@windflier1684]

it's the most comfy one, you got house cat, goofy characters, npc that doesn't die after you finish their questline, and a wife.

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

16 minutes of your editing? I am overjoyed. Thanks for putting this out into the world in between everything you've got going on. Wishing you the best.

[@ramrodbldm9876]

You sound like a true beta that likes to please. Particularly men

Majula still is the most peaceful and magnificent Area of all Soulsbourne Games.

[@jaydee0087]

I love how you balance memes and gameplay, it makes it definitely more fun to watch then some of those other sh*t post rampages. Keep up the cool work!

[@hashtags_YT]

I mean I'd classify DS2 as a shitpost rampage at times

[@pacnat_9069]

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 😊💕

What a nicely put together video, congrats! I thoroughly enjoyed this, much love

[@hinachan70]

I appreciate any video you put out man. It'll always be worth the wait instead of rushing out content.

[@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

[@bongonwheels]

That crossbow moment at 3:40 is epic

[@vangoghsseveredear]

Dark Souls 2 is jank and feels weird if you're playing the games back to back, BUT its a good game and people join the hate wagon for no good reason. The lore is great, build variety is huge. Good game

[@KoZMiK-]

The added reverb on the sfx you put in is hysterical lmfao the editing alone was enough for me to sub within watching one video lol

This is the best video I have ever seen of DS2 ever. Love it. The classical music is a majestic touch . Perfection is reached

[@callumthetaken6708]

People can say the worst about DS2 even tho its the best Dark souls. But that calming feeling when Entering Majula...... second to none

[@orunsir8394]

Damn, your timing is so insane. I've had DS2 sitting in my steam library for literally years and I only started playing it 2 days ago, which is when you uploaded this video. It's a Christmas miracle, I guess xd

[@bobtuba1048]

9:18 the music gets louder and faster as you desperately try to finish the animation 13:55 a sax lick plays as you read "it's locked" in despair Funniest parts of the video by far

What the hell was that at 12:48??😆!!! Great work, man!!

[@capybearuh]

Just finished my first semester of uni, I understand the struggle. This video wasn't recommended but I still searched up your channel cause I know you come around every few months. Thanks for the content!

[@Nimbliebimblie]

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 ;).

[@elitereptilian200]

the music on the second part is just a beautiful chef's kiss on this damn masterpiece!!

[@mauricioavendano6007]

[@Churahm]

LMFAO the rise in the music at 4:36 with the barrel exploding

[@MjgGyd]

I'm thinking about playing difficult games with classic calming music like this one. I've never felt so relaxed while looking at DS2.

[@spyboy1261]

Oh im definitely rewatching this, i didn't feel the time, thank you so much for giving me the best video to watch while im eating (you don't know my struggles of finding a good vid) anyways, tysm

[@youtubewatcher6719]

I swear I hear the "COUNTER" sound effect from Guilty Gear: Strive when the giant steps on him at 3:21, I can't tell if my brain is making that up because of Strive brainrot (might just be the character's pain sound) or if he subtly edited it in, please I need answers

[@desmondmilesful]

I just want you to know out of all the channels on youtube. your videos give me so much laughs and happiness. regardless if it takes another two years please let this not be the last. Ted would be disappointed. you know if Ted could talk.

[@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.

[@VexJinks]

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

[@garganzollo3365]

I like your style. Very soft memage, very relaxing and refreshing)

[@rraveboy9431]

i’m not a dark souls enjoyer but the way certain enemies just instantly lay flat when you bring your club down on them like at 6:13 and 6:33 made me choke

[@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.
