We're Playing Dark Souls Too! - Part 01

Why are you teasing my poor poor euro-soul with this content?

Looking forward to this on monday after a weekend with playing myself!

YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT GOD DAMN DOG!

@PurpleSpandex Considering this just came out and the history this site has with covering it it isn't exactly too much overkill. We have also still gotten Quick Looks, UPF, and other content in the last several weeks other than Dark Souls.

Are you fucking serious? More dark souls content? There is an entire world of video games out there, and you're going to use your office time doing a series of streams on a game that many are desperately trying to avoid spoilers on, and that you just did TWO LETS PLAYS on the earlier games in the series, consecutively? Is this a professional site or someones YouTube channel?

Jesus. Isn't there anyone in the office with the balls to veto this sort of bullshit?

I must choose not to watch this, i do wish it was vinny that was behind the wheel though

Yeah I think I'm going to have to wait till Friday at the earliest before I start watching any of this content. Damn European release date!!!!!

@towersixteen: Giant Bomb, doing whatever the fuck it pleases.

NOOO. I was hoping they'd do this except have Vinny play.

raaaawr they are probably super scared of you. I am :O

@ichthy: It didn't used to be this way, though. Do you remember Jeff "We are not in the business of spoiling Atlas games" Gerstmann? What happened to him?

Brad does 90-ish one-handed damage with the mace he gets. Vinny tells him to try two-handed because it increases your damage. Brad uses it two-handed and it does like 170 damage. Brad responds with, "Eh that's not much of a difference."

Good ol' brad.

Because it's fun.

Finally caved on my media blackout (outside from QL's), waiting till friday sucks....

Maybe he is in the business of a lot of site content that many people enjoy during a time when gaming is kind of sparse and transitioning.

Yeah, please more Vinny, less Brad. Watching vinny play Souls is just faster and more fun.

I spent 5 hours grinding through Heide's tower/Cathedral of Blue until all enemies were gone (no longer spawned) and I beat both bosses in the area AS A SORCERER. Then I discovered the 'easy' way to go: Forest of Fallen Giants, at level 40. Yep, already feeling the Souls' voodoo again this third time around.

ERMAHGERD.

Derk Sewls Tew.

This is the only Souls content for me, so I'm okay with it.

I wish you could rate bloodstains.

And BTW, don't worry about your souls running out due to no spawns. You can always white soapstone for thousands at a time, endlessly.

As much as I like Brad, I do wish you would let somebody else play some Souls.

i second that

Pseudo-endurance run? Can't wait until I finish the game myself so I can watch it!

Wait, you can't be implying that this thumbnail has spoilers, right? I went out of my way to find the most boring, dude standing in front of rocks, grey thumbnail I could find. Are there spoilers in it?

Also there's more coverage of spelunky / binding of Isaac on the site than all Souls series games combined. Go and bitch on those videos aswell.

Vinny Pls.

Nah, not at all, you nailed it Vinny. I was just worried it might happen in the future, but it seems like you clearly have it on mind already and we have nothing to worry about.

Can't wait to watch it after the pc version is out!!

Jeff isn't that into it, but it's one of the few games released recently. Really if you don't like it don't watch it. I'm not a huge fan of the game, but still like watching the staff play it.

I like the idea of this, even if I'm going to wait to see the follow-up episodes until after April. It's still refreshing to see how Giant Bomb came around on the Souls series.

They switch to Vindawg half way.

At this point you guys might as well call it Gaintsouls.com. I'm still playing the game so I won't be watching this until I've beaten it.

Vinny takes over halfway through.

Is it just me or doesn't the new player remember your last spot anymore?

VBOMB should exclusively play with the ladle.

I am so damn tired of seeing this series on giantbomb. This shit is annoying, find a new game to play.

Rorie shut the fuck up about the mace the club is way better than the mace fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck dawg, DO YOU EVEN SEE THEM STACKS

Edit: And Brad chose the mace. THOSE STACKS GOD DAMN IT

Edit 2: ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH WHY

I am going to go crazy watching brad play! its like watching my girlfriend, he might be even worse. god dammit BRAD!!!!!!!

More Dark Souls 2 content! Yay!

@wolfhazard: But maces are way cooler than clubs. Brad chose wisely.

Considering you don't have premium, this is the only Souls content you get. Why are you complaining?

"Okay, this guys easy...Look out!"

*dies*

So good.

@thebunnyhunter: he is, for the latter part.

@humblemediocrity: They are billing it as a "check-in" and not a "play through."

Ought to love all the complaining in these comments.

Still, I'm also gonna wait on watching this for a few more days at the least (at which point I'm hopefully further in the game than Brad is).

@humblemediocrity: why would they start over?

Oh wow, I kinda thought we weren't gonna get this feature. Not that I mind, but it's basically a LOLS of a brand new game.
