[SSFF] Past Mortem: The Rise of Dark Souls, FromSoftware, & Hidetaka Miyazaki

Here is the next episode of Past Mortem, and it's a topic I was really excited about, the Souls games! We had a lot of fun researching for this video and I think a lot of people will be interested in learning about this subject. We were actually kinda shocked there weren't more videos on this topic.
Enjoy it exclusively for a couple days, it goes public on YouTube Tuesday morning!
And for those keeping score, we still have the Resident Evil Re:Certified Classic and The Souls Series Retrospective videos on the back burner. We'll release a Punching Weight to tie into the Doom reboot coming out in May, but otherwise, the plan is to get the other two videos out too! Staying busy!!
As always thank you for your support. We've officially had this Patreon for one whole year! Woooo! That's crazy!! Anyway, see you all again real soon!

I'm very glad they're going to take a break from the Soulsborne games. Sure, they may sell well and they're great games, but I feel like if another game were to come out next year that could be the start of people becoming burned out on the series. I think they're hitting their peak right now, and a continuation would cause sales to start going down due to same old same old. We don't need another annual release series, especially for such well made games. It's best to go out on top. Give everyone a break, and come back to these games, or this style anyway, in four or five years. I can't wait to see what they bring to the table for their next IP.

2016-05-01 20:12:56 +0000 UTCI think doing the Souls games solo IS a point of pride. Most Souls fans will scoff at the idea cause it means we're not 'playing it right' but, I'm VERY proud that I got 82% of the Trophies Solo in DSII and III and Platinum'd Dark Souls and Bloodborne Solo. Demon's Souls I just got 52% of the trophies cause I didnt wanna grind a million differant kind of stones

2016-05-01 19:02:34 +0000 UTCthats the thing, tons of lore videos out there and so few documentaries! maybe no one's really that interested hahaha. i remember sitting down with demon's souls way after the fact, like in 2013, and it immediately clicking with me, "oh this is nintendo hard! i they figured out retro style difficulty in a modern game!" funny you mention the multiplayer, 5 games now and i've actually never invaded anyone before or ever summoned anyone for assistance! which is stupid but a point of pride for me i guess.

2016-05-01 17:18:23 +0000 UTCWell... that IS an interesting history. I actually hope that they decide to experiment a bit more.
