  • I love how easy it is to tell who the person who wrote the guide is. It's clearly a young kid or teen who cares a lot about being a hardcore gamer but isn't old enough to be great at Demon's Souls, so they used the fact that they have nearly endless free time to come up with the cheesiest, safest strategies possible and then felt ultra proud of themselves for beating this infamously hard game. It's weirdly endearing.

  • Wow, I have to comment about Loot Crate. I subbed to them for a couple months a really long time ago, like right around when they first got started. After about 3-4 months I noticed they were mostly packing their crates with stuff I had no interest having around, whatsoever. I'm not into pop-culture, mainstream "nerdom", or Marvel especially. It just wasn't for me. Well, they kept coming. And coming. I made sure to check with my bank multiple times. Loot Crate wasn't charging my card ever, for any of these boxes. Sometimes a few months would go by, and I wouldn't get any, and I'd think I was finally done getting these annoying boxes. Then out of nowhere, I'd get 2-3 at once, and then again every month thereafter. This went on for years. It became a massive joke amongst my family. We'd open them, but most of the time no one wanted anything, it was just all goofy, useless shit. This is where it gets really weird. I sold my house and left the country, but made sure to keep my mailing/home address for legal reasons at my dad's address, where I grew up. Eventually, my fuckin dad started getting Loot Crates on his front step every month. Then the joke became a bit of a concern. Remember, I had cancelled my sub like two years prior to this. How did they get that address? Why were they still sending them? Why didn't they care that they weren't getting ANY money for them?! Were they charging him now somehow? Nope. Still not me, either. Strange. Now here's the main reason I even thought to write this in the first place. Now, watching this video, I learn they filed for bankruptcy in 2019. Yet... My dad is STILL getting fucking Loot Crates. Update: I did not anticipate all the responses I'd generate from this little anecdote. I'll get in touch with my dad soon, and find out what's going on with the Loot Crates. Sometime in the middle of 22 I stopped getting regular messages about it. Both of us stopped caring and he just stacked em somewhere. When I was last in the US which was early '21, I saw a wall of them stacked in my old bedroom and a few random piles of them scattered around. Many were opened and being used as storage for my father's items; many were still sealed.

  • The great thing about these walkthroughs were that they were usually a lot of work done by one person. People put in a lot of effort for random reasons just because they wanted to, like that ASCII map in this guide. I remember reading these as a kid and just enjoying the random rating systems or jokes or graphics that people put in simply because they wanted to. It was a wholesome and user-driven time. Compare that to these days where if you look up a game you get 8000 results from ad-infested garbage sites with the same "Top Ten Dark Souls Tips" taken from Reddit. Gamefaqs had soul, man.

Was actually super useful for a lot of challenge runs I'd end up doing on the game down the line. It included a lot of really good gambit cheese set ups and boss strats that actually worked too. Including the 2 infinite farming spots. GameFAQ's could really nail it sometimes. I still use them to this day sometimes for certain games.

I've only done something twice in my life for pure spite, and somehow they both worked out. I love most of From Soft's work and if it wasn't for that one douche, I would've never tried the game. (No joke, when I was younger we didn't have a whole lot of spare cash, having an Xbox was two years of saving extra cash back on my parents part for us kids. I remember saving up money to try Dark Souls with no other information then "your not good enough". My mom thought KZhead was a virus and my internet access was school computers that blocked KZhead. So imagine my face when I play it and me and my brother initially both wanted to beat it to prove a point. He heard the story and was pissed to. If you read all this and wonder why I did any of this, why I shared it, etc. Honestly dunno. It'd an honest story and I'm sure I've left out other details due to vague memories. I don't know why I never punched him either. ) Anyway tldr, Spite inspired me to play and love the game because it was "too hard". It's not that bad either.

  • "Dumb name if you ask me" I don't know very much about Demon Souls builds, so this was the first time I seriously disagreed with our 2009 expert. How can you possibly think Phalanx is a dumb name? It has all the coolest sounds you can put in a word, the meaning is cool, it's historical and interesting and Greek, and it perfectly describes the boss. But he made up for his misstep with the gamer graduation titles. A++ Gamefaqs guide right there.

  • My addiction into the fromsoft versus games started in a game informer when they mentioned it in a tiny little off article that barely had a paragraph and a half mentioning an upcoming Japanese game called demon souls Idk why but the one screenshot it had piqued my interest, when I went to the store to buy it they warned me "this game is really hard so you should really get the used version so you can return it when it kicks your ass" I took offense to that and bought a new version out of spite and how much I love a collector's game case, now I've played almost every single fromsoft game from kings field to dark souls 3

    • He's really not wrong. I got curious about the guide and wanted to read it because I also found it hilarious. But the "funny" parts seem to have been edited into the guide after by someone to make it more fun for the video. Not even the "you graduated from x to y" partes are real. It's basically all made up. lmao The original guide has some mannerisms you'd expect from someone writing for gamefaq 13 years ago, but the guy who wrote the guide even had it edited and published OFFICIALLY as the deluxe guide by Atlus on the NA publication of the game. It's not some random kid.

      @gianni.sacciloto@gianni.sacciloto Жыл бұрын
    • @@gianni.sacciloto Probably an edit by someone who incorporated their own aspects and re-published it as their own then? I'm guessing you're talking about Volume's guide which can be found as a recommended 2009 guide on Gamefaqs that does do the tearstone bow build and does mention the death cloud cheese for King Allant (specifically death cloud, not the spell Lenny used). However, that guide does not have the ascii map for Tower of Latria 1. Because of the effort the guide still have in places that isn't found in the official one I seriously doubt it was an intentional rewrite for the video. The only way I could see it be the case is if the guide was suggested / sourced by someone else for Lenny to use, don't know if he finds them himself or if other people find a funny guide for him and he picks which one to use. If so that someone may have chosen to summarize the guide and took too many liberties in the process. There isn't really something like a "fake guide" though. It still accomplishes to comprehensively guide people through the game so for all intent and purpose it is a legitimate guide, only its age is questionable and the writing doesn't make it apparent that the personality of the writer was acted out. Think it is just a kid / young teen that plagiarized the real guide and made it their own at some point. Doesn't really matter any ways, videos are still funny and only Lenny himself knows the answer.

  • Tbf hyper mode bow cheese really breaks this game. It also helps that a lot of the bosses can even be confortably killed with this strat. Thief ring is a blessing. Allant can actually be killed from all across the room via hyper mode bow and he never aggroes. Just be sure not to use fire arrows, since those eventually will push him back too much and make you have to get closer, finally triggering him.
