Oh you're right, FightinCowboy went pyro for his Let's Play! It must have been ENB then (though I can't check, since he deleted almost everything from his Youtube channel).
Also, apologies for the quote three pages after the fact, but I'd like to touch on something:
This series peaked unironically with Demon’s Souls and it never got any better.
I would be sincerely curious to hear others' opinions about this: I don't know if it's because I've overplayed these games during the last decade and some, but for a while I've held the notion that, looking at Demon's Souls, the three Dark Souls, and now Elden Ring, as well as Bloodborne and Sekiro (though these two in lesser degrees), there is not merely a commonality of ideas that tie it all neatly together, but rather, I'd argue, a weird, definite-yet-vaguely-unquantifiable air of creative bankruptcy about these games.
- For example, in Demon's Souls we have Garl Vinland; then in DS2 we have Velstadt who, shield aside, looks exactly like Vinland
- Eygon of Carim in DS3 is basically Vinland from Demon's Souls
- DS3's Eygon of Carim wears the Morne set; Morne becomes the name of a fort in Elden Ring
- Gael, name of an NPC/boss in DS3, but also the name of a fort in Elden Ring (naming boogaloo, part two)
- Irina of Carim, blind woman in DS3; Irina, most likely blind in Elden Ring (naming boogaloo, for the third time we do)
- The Bloodhound Knights of Elden Ring look like big brothers to the Nimble Shadows of DS2
- Elden Ring's Envoy Crown is basically Dark Souls' Xanthous Crown.
- Gowry's equipment in Elden Ring: is it Ingward's in DS1, or the Graveguard in Bloodborne?
- The Twinned armor in Elden Ring is DS1's Armor Of Favor with a couple of details changed
- The Imps in Elden Ring are reskinned Thralls from DS3 (their moveset is absolutely identical)
- The Tree Avatars in Elden Ring are reskinned Asylum Demons from Dark Souls, who themselves are reskinned version of Vanguard from Demon's Souls
- Kindred of rot in Elden Ring are so similar to the Sewer Centipedes in DS3
- Phalanx in Demon's Souls; Phalanx in Dark Souls; Silver Tear in Elden Ring
- Blacksmith Ed in Demon's Souls; Blacksmith Hewg in Elden Ring
- Logan's hat in DS1; Preceptor's hat in Elden Ring
- Frampt and Kaathe in DS1; Two Fingers and Three Fingers in Elden Ring
- Whirligig Saw in Bloodborne; Ghiza's Wheel in Elden Ring
- Siegward in DS3 is shamelessly DS1's Siegmeyer who himself is almost shamelessly Demon's Souls' Biorr
- Yuria in Demon's Souls; Karla in DS3
- Capra Demon in DS1; Omenkiller in Elden Ring
- Giant Serpent-Man in DS3; Lesser Wormface in Elden Ring
- The fight against Rennala in Elden Ring, when compared to Rom in Bloodborne
- Mindflayers in Demon's Souls; Brainsuckers in Bloodborne
- Giant Blacksmith in DS1; Iji in Elden Ring
- Imperfects in DS2; Monstrous Dogs in Elden Ring
- Prisoner Horde in Demon's Souls; School of Graven Mages in Elden Ring
- Storm King in Demon's Souls; Yhorm in DS3; Rykard in Elden Ring
- Corrupted Monk and True Corrupted Monk in Sekiro; Loretta in Elden Ring, exact same concept of first fighting the projection, then the real one later on
- Giant with holes in them in DS2; giant with holes in them in Elden Ring
- Man Serpent in DS1; Man Serpent in Elden Ring
- Lycanthropes in DS3; Chained Ogre in Sekiro
- Taro Troops in Sekiro; Pumpkinheads in Elden Ring
- Miners highly resistant to physical damage but weak to magic in Demon's Souls; miners highly resistant to physical damage but weak to magic in Elden Ring
- Yurt in Demon's Souls; Lautrec in DS1
- Manus in DS1; Cleric Beast in Bloodborne; Demon of Hatred in Sekiro
- Executioner Miralda in Demon's Souls; Maneater Mildred in DS1; Melinda the Butcher in DS2; Madwoman in DS3; Anastasia, Tarnished-Eater in Elden Ring
- Basilisks and dogs and rotten flesh
And of course many, many, many others.
I mean, going from Demon's Souls to DS1, I understood; they didn't have the permission to make Demon's Souls 2, so they made Demon's Souls 2 in all but name, and a lot of ideas and concepts were re-used. But man, beyond that, the EldenSekisoulsBorne series might be the most green, eco-friendly games in existence, what with all the recycling it does.
