    I saw most of the DS2 stream and he doesn't really seem to have anything to say that you can't find in average Souls discussion. To me, he looks like every other streamer now, without paying attention to chat or anything either. And I did watch his DS3 LP back when it came out.

    I'm watching it now and he's already getting on my nerves bitching incessantly about DS2 being too slow and parries work differently and the graphics look bad yadda yadda. He even said the estus is so slow there's no point using it. I don't even. For a prestigious Souler he sounds like a console popamoler (he has probably turned into lately). I really hope he stops spouting retarded nonsense and start enjoying the game.

    This isn't actually true. I beat the Tower Knight the first try with magic, I actually complained because of how easy it was to snipe his head with early spells. I know you're trying to make a point here, but don't lie on me

    first time I agree with Urbanolo. DS3 has the best bosses in this series.

    Did you not watch the video where he explained why 'people' (or rather, he) hate Dark Souls 2? It was posted all the way before he begin posting the Dark Souls 2:SotFS LP videos. He explained all the reasons why he hates Dark Souls 2, or at the very least why he didn't like it as much as he likes Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1. Of course he's bound to start complaining and comparing to the predecessors in the beginning of the LPs, especially since it's been years since he last touched Dark Souls 2 at all.

    Having said that, all the complainings would actually turn into him just laughing it off and he does have fun in later videos. This LP is also where he first touched the DLCs ever, and he liked Raime fight so much he burnt ascetics just to fight him again and again.

    You're so full of shit you should be wiping your forehead instead of your ass, numbnuts. It's OK to fucking suck at games, but at least be honest about it.

    Ahah, now that I finished with prologue with undead peasants, killed soldiers in undead castle, went thru undead guys with witches in village, and finished knights in castle again, I killed the undead guys with wooden sticks, and smacked whole church of undead guys with flaming sticks, AND now as I killed those two fast artorias cosplayers, I enter
    finally,
    the catacombs full of undead
    ninjas
    doing backflips while throwing three shurikens while in the air
    (these are so japanese :shittydog: )



    well, at least Cathedral of Derp
    Templle of Yawn
    Church of Fuckitcheesewithbow
    had some of that DS connectivity

    How many pointy hat rapists can we put on a 10 m catwalk? let's just put ALL OF THEM! and and 2 halbediers and 3 knights and 2 asassins and 3 exploding monsters and 5 crossbowmen yaaaaay

    Really. Check the desigh on enemy placement on catwalks under main roof of the Cathedral. There are at least 3, maybe 4 HEAVILY ARMORED PALADIN KNIGHTS! what are they doing there? who put them there? what is their purpose? how did they get there?
    They are just there. They are there regardless of the fact that they are bad enemies to put there and lack pathfinding and abilities to fight there... which is why ALL OF THEM! all! every one! fell down and died as I kited them around! through little gaps or rather corners of the catwalks...
    the pointy hat rapists are reasonable mob to be there. But what did these guys were there for? undead polish knights fixing roof for cheap estus? :shittydog:

    There was also that lake, with corridors filled with same mobs as in swamp, just tunnels with tree roots and lava, where I felt like I was playing fan made diablo addon do Diablo 1.

    Okay what's next, gotta follow the plot since I broke my spacebar while trying to kill Boreal Dancer in her 2d form with a my magikk claymore
    Boreal Valley. I hope it's not more swamps, villages and temples full of undead.

    ENB wasn't bad or great. He's just an average streamer. That's all. If you like watching someone talk out of his ass to fill the commentary quota for a whole playthrough, so be it. He's not remarkable, though. Nobody has to tell you *WHY* you think DS2 is bad, not up to standards, shit, or whatever. You play it and you decide. Hell, he didn't even play through SOTFS meticulously reading and listening to the *lore* like he used to do the others. More reason to be an average streamer.

    Oh ho. There is later. You'll see.

    At the end there's Artorias 2.0. But there is a side area with the snake fucks from Sen's Fortress that has a boss that flies. Then you kill him, he gets a new health bar and it's Artorias 3.0. And there's a dragon in one of the DLCs.

    It seems you're mad at them. So the best explanation of their positioning is that they knew someone would come there, most likely seeking the passage to Rosaria's place. And they decided it'd be nice to fuck with those guys who'd be expecting just the wimpy pointy hat rapists, so as a kind of practical joke they decided they'd sit their heavy butts in hiding way up. You can barely hear them holding their laughter when you're walking on the flooded floor!

    But they are so full of themselves they keep forgetting to watch their steps ;)

    (More serious answer: they are guarding the first blessed gem the player can usually find.)

    And as for them getting up there, well, it's just us losers who have to use the ladders. They probably have a service elevator or, simply, instructed one of the giants to stand on the other giant and lift them up.

    Well Twitch is a terrible place for games like DS where paying careful attention to everything around you is crusial. Especially if you're going through something for the first time. The gaychat is such a distraction. Streaming is for games like Dota, CoD or Hearthstone, not for deep, atmospheric RPGs.

    Yeah. But then you can also focus in the gameplay itself or doing something interesting. Like LobosJR does with his. You can even learn new things from those. And to have the streamer be the point, he had his broher go in them blind as well. They are interesting and fun, I find. Not like I watch every single one, but some of the classics I've sure watched.

    Or, hey, THE MAIN THING about streams that can make a DS one interesting. Playing with the viewers, which is what people like Otzdarva do, even with some more than just invasion fests, like the Lothric Olympics streams lol.

    Ok, you said you're in the Boreal Valley? So, Pontiff I guess. Don't worry, what comes after him is actually original.

    Hey, I think it's an original thing too. It is definitively one of the best in the game and that helps.

    On that, which do y'all think is the "ideal" or even canon order for the LOC?

    For sure. If you have gone through the game and now you just want to fool around with viewers and shit it's fun. But again, not when you're going through the content for the first time.

    If I play a mage I usually go to the Shrine of Storms, grab the Crescent Falchion then do Latria or Valley of Defilement if I want to grab the Blueblood Sword and Wrong game, sorry. :oops:

    Only choice is between Yhorm and Aldrich and I suppose Yhorm goes first since you can get to him earlier without fighting any other bosses and Pontiff can be a bitch so you could use the extra levels. Neither of them are a though fight though.

    I wonder if the people who suck DS2's dick did so even before the DLCs came out.

    He participated in making the official guide to vanilla Dark Souls 2 guide, for fucking sake. He made that fucking video about why 'people' hate the game because he had enough of people bothering him about it. And the reason he doesn't play SOTFS like he did Dark Souls 1 is because, like he told you over and over again, is because he doesn't like it as much as Dark Souls 1. Is that too hard to understand? Besides, if you actually paid attention to how he actually play while streaming Twitch at the same time instead of just focusing on the fact he doesn't love the game as much as you do, you would have noticed he actually discussed the lore, the story, the NPCs, the environment and the everything else with the streamers, and he actually begin later videos with discussing Youtube comments on previous videos. It's not as good as his mix of LP-commentary like he did like with From the Dark LP, but good enough for a game he doesn't love as much.

    I know you're an edgy Dark Souls 2 fanboy, Arnust, but jeez not THIS edgy.

    There's nothing wrong with that


    I complained about a boss hitting me with shit hit detection and rng now means I suck?

    I said he spammed me because he kept slamming his stupid shield regardless of how far I was from him
