I probably played DS1 more than any other game I've ever played but for the life of me I just could not get into DS2 the same way. I can't even put my finger on why but it never grabbed me. That being said I will watch your LP and enjoy it!

Night10194 posted:Can we not get into DS1 vs. DS2? Jesus christ yes, my post in this thread wasn't even about one being "better" but Geno decided to creep up in my post history for something I'd completely forgotten. I only mentioned it to frame how excited I am for a quality LP of Dark Souls 2. e: i am so sorry everyone

Kloro posted:Great video, but I have to disagree with you on the gargoyles. I utterly loved that fight my first time through, as it came as such a surprise - especially when the third gargoyle joined the battle. I was literally yelling in delight, and managing to beat it the first time through just added to my enjoyment.  Same here; the initial reaction of "oh this again" was just the perfect setup for the gargolye-gangbang of a punchline (beat them first time as well  ) Incredibly tense and enjoyable fight.

^ best helm. That was a ridiculously close finish on the Lost Sinner.As far as the Sinner's Rise bonfire bullshit goes, I always thought it was meant to teach you that enemies eventually despawn if you kill them enough, in case you hadn't been reading guides and/or had rushed through areas prior. Like you said it's the one area in the Souls games that does that.

Kloro posted:There is an alternate method to kill the Chariot, by the way - hang out in an alcove and blast him with spells as he goes past. The fights ends...a bit differently. Won't spoil it in case you're going to show it off. I never even thought to try this, I'd like to see what happens.

Dazzling Addar you are updating this LP faster than I played through this game. That is not meant as a complaint in any way, I'm just kind of in awe of your work ethic.

omeg posted:You haven't said something more stupid in a while. Removing the poison is probably the single most obtuse and illogical thing you do in this game. Yeah it took many tries beating my head against that boss before I found a phantom who led me there with their own torch. I don't think I'd have ever figured it out on my own.

I stopped playing DS2 before any of the DLC came out, I'm excited to see Hal go wreck poo poo in new zones.

One thing I've never understood is how individual Humans become Undead. It's always sort of skirted around, like maybe everybody is going to eventually become undead because it's innate to our race, or maybe it's a disease that gets spread, or something in between? Many NPCs make mention of "becoming Undead." It seems like a crucial point but after playing all three Souls games I still don't feel like it's ever been addressed.

^e: fuuuuuuck me I guess if we assume the inevitable progression is human > undead > hollow for everyone, then it makes sense that areas become uninhabitable over time. From the "first times" when Humanity was strongest, the Undead Curse will slowly expand as people die and become undead - basically becoming the player character, seeking to restore their humanity at any cost. The weakest are killed over and over while all those afflicted are walled away, in the Asylum or the Bastille, but every living Human who dies strengthens the forces of Dark. They ran out of space to put the 'trash'. All the same, I don't think of the Dark as evil, which is a point I feel the games try to make. It's just the antithesis of Light, which has been shown to be life-giving, but also genocidal (Gwyn) and ultimately empty (Vendrick). It's Newton's first and third laws: the Ancient was disrupted by Fire, leading to Light and Dark in endless (and equal) opposition. Chard fucked around with this message at 05:34 on Mar 27, 2015 |

Killing someone to death is a perfectly cromulent phrasing.

IGgy IGsen posted:I never had any trouble with breaking weapons during the Sinh fight myself. I never had much trouble with Sinh period honestly. It's one of the better fights and I'm so glad it's not Yet Another Big Dude with a Big Weapon (tm). For me it was purely down to over-reliance on the (useless) NPC summons, thus turning Sinh into a flying ball of corrosive hit points. Once I sucked it up and went at him solo I won first try and didn't break a weapon

Yapping Eevee posted:You absolutely have to Bellbro to get Hidden Weapon, though you can always just farm the Mad Warrior for an easier time of it. You also have to be a Sunbro for a while to get their miracle, because Sunlight Spear can't be bought from Chancellor Wellager. But fortunately, there are also some enemies that drop Sunlight Medals. Bleh. Fortunately I have a different character all sunbro-ed up already so I can get the miracle achievement with them. Guess I know what I'll be doing for the next week while I watch stuff on Netflix.

KieranWalker posted:I never did actually defeat Sir Alonne. Fought him ...three times, I think, and I got sick of the timed runback, so I just gave up on it. Same here. The DLC gauntlets are all trash, but at least this one has a nifty boss at the end of it.
