Dark Souls 3 ► 15 Hidden Gameplay Mechanics

So if you're starting Dark Souls 3, I really recommend you give this video a view. 

It contains fairly light spoilers, and some new subtle mechanics that can really change the way you play. Especially the first one.


Thank you for your support guys! I just noticed we're about to hit the next goal, which is incredible. I've been looking forward to that project for a good while.

Dark Souls 3 Lorethrough ► Tales of the Old Gods [#4]

Hey patrons!

This is episode #4, which I decided to call a "Lorethrough" instead of a playthrough. Still having a hard time deciding on what exactly this series is -.-


This episode focuses on all the references to the old deities referenced within the Road of Sacrifices / Crucifixion woods. Knowing the story of the area you fight through can make it so much more significant.


Hope you all enjoyed. I'm focusing 100% on making the best Dark Souls 3 stuff I can..especially ...

Dark Souls 3 ► Early-game Review

This review is based off my first 5 hours with the full build of Dark Souls 3. 

HEAVY SPOILER WARNING! I can't wait until we all have the game so I don't have to write this any more -.-

Patron-only Dark Souls 3 Q&A

Hey guys, if you were into the 45 minutes of  DkS3 gameplay I showed on the channel then ask me anything related to it!

So if you want to know how the game plays, boss info, weapons, item descriptions, mechanics, my favourite experience...anything. You guys make it possible for me to create time-consuming videos like those, and you deserve something in return, methinks.


I'll try to answer in the next 12 hours. Cheers!

Dark Souls 3 Playthrough ► Lord of Hollows [#3]

This is the third and final episode of our pre-release playthrough.

We actually had one of the smoothest runs through the game. Everything dropped for us, I found many character questlines, and didn't die too often.


I wish I could type more - but i'm literally about to pass out, and I hope the last three videos speak for themselves.

Dark Souls 3 Content - Embargo lifts March 1st

Hey all!

So as most of you know, I had the chance to play the first few areas of Dark Souls 3 last week, and i'm currently working hard to complete playthrough videos for March 1st (6AM PST, when the Embargo lifts)


Out of curiosity, how many of you will be watching?

Dark Souls 3 - Embargoed Content

Hey all, Just letting you guys in on the loop: I am one of a few content providers in the Souls community who will be playing Dark Souls 3 soon! We are also allowed to capture footage, for the first time. This content is embargoed for release on a later date, so i'll be working on it behind the scenes until it's time for release. When I do release this content, I hope it will make up for this quiet month on the channel. Thanks for your support, as always. So hype for Dark Souls 3 and I'm g...

Top-Down Souls ► Dark Maus

Hey guys :)

It's finally done! I had to play through the entire game for this video, which set me back a bit.


I hope you don't mind me working on a few Soulslike videos..i'm just craving to cover some new games on the channel, and this will be my last chance before we dive head-on into Dark Souls 3.


Love you guys <3

Update

Hey all, Just wanted to let you guys know that the next video (and perhaps a few subsequent videos) have been slightly delayed. I recently started a new, more demanding project (which you'll likely see the fruits of in March!), and just moved in to house/dog sit for a friend. I'm working hard to balance everything and get it all sorted out. Another Patreonthrough should drop tomorrow, then another Soulslike in the day to follow. Just have to go home and pick up some cables I've been missing...

Dark Souls 3 ► New Characters, Locations & Enemies

Heyo Patrons!

Last week a bunch of screenshots were released, and a few months before that we got a look at some new gameplay at PSX. This video covers both. 


We've learned a lot about how the game starts and where we're headed..but the middle remains a mystery,  and I sincerely hope they throw some curve balls our way. 


Beware though: heavy spoilers in this one.

Isometric Souls ► EITR Preview

I'm really excited to share this!

EITR is an Isometric real-time action RPG, and it shares so many elements with Souls. 


The devs were nice enough to give me a demo to share with the world, and I was really impressed by what I saw. Let me know what you guys think.

Bloodborne's Lore ► Translated!

Heyo patrons,

So this one is..probably as in-depth as they come. We discovered a few significant discrepancies between the japanese & english, and many insignificant ones! 


If nothing else - we can look at the descriptions in-game now and be confident in our interpretations now that this research has been done.

Bloodborne DLC ► 50 Interesting Insights

Hey all!

Finally - after a short christmas break, I finished this frenzy-inducing video. 


It is absolutely because of you guys that I could take the time to make one big video, rather than splitting this into small parts. 


It's also because of this group that I can afford to do this full time, so here are some more never-ending thanks for that. We also hit 500,000 subscribers recently! 499,300 of those subscribers are enjoying the videos I can make good (partl...

Bloodborne Guide ► The Five Bosses of The Old Hunters

So after dragging a couple of characters through NG+, I realised just how hard some of the bosses can be..and felt like this guide definitely had to exist. Because once you learn how to avoid their moves..it doesn't really matter how much damage they do!

I'm glad we got this out of the way. The next few weeks should have some pretty fun content!

Bloodborne DLC ► Wrath of Mother Kos [#3]

Hey all,

Finally, it's done. Man, this third episode took a while to edit. I rambled on about the lore for longer than I meant to.


I think i'll cover weapons & bosses next, followed by a big lore video & character lore videos for a while. Really excited to tell some good stories from The Old Hunters.


Cheers guys!

Here are my experiences from the first part of The Old Hunters DLC!

At the end, an NPC tells us that hunters are drawn to the nightmare because of their misdeeds. I think we're going to discover something pretty huge. Pretty excited to make some lore videos once I start critically analysing some of this stuff.

Dark Souls 3 Lore ► Beyond Light & Dark

Hey Guys!

This is a 17 minute video exploring some of the lore clues we've seen in Dark Souls 3 footage so far. I also explain the plots of DkS1 & 2 as succinctly as I can during the video, because..it's been a while! Really looking forward to diving into more Dark Souls lore..I actually enjoy it a little more than Bloodborne. I'm really curious to see where they take the story..there are so many questions we need answered.


Also, i'm going away to Hong Kong for a week with my...

Hello patreon friends! Video time!

So I sent this one to you 24 hours early, but here's the official post . Long story short is that the first episode got a great response, and that I had some "insights" left over for another.


Who here is hype for that DLC? 


Next video will be on Dark Souls 3's Lore. Bloodborne is well and good..but i'm so excited to cover a multiplatform game when DKS3 comes out..

Dark Souls 3 Gameplay ► Network Test Observations

Hey all!

Originally this started out as "15 Interesting Observations", but it ended up being pretty rambly so I changed the title. Really it was just an excuse to show off some of the PvE footage.. I really want to get as much out there as possible!


I also took this opportunity to mess around with some new render settings. The video should look a little sharper than my previous console-recorded footage (DkS3 & Bloodborne).


Thank you all for supporting me here. This ...
