Quick Look: Dark Souls

game is crazy!

Yay!

edit: ugh. that's the closest I've been.

sweet

ah
 
EDIT: AHHHHHHHHHH!!!

No D:

I've avoided anything about this game including the latest trailers, live streams and pre-reviews but this I just have to see, because it has Vinny after all.
 
I play a Knight without clothes, same as Vinny, but I use the increased stamina regen to block instead of roll.
 
Edit: Wow, amazing Quick Look, one of the best of Giant Bomb so far no thanks to incredibly disinterested Brad, but Vinny and Rorie were great.

Yay. I love this game, and I hope you do too!

Sweet been looking forward to this.

been looking forward to a quick look of this game!

1h 24min? fuck yes

Roarie: std bomb hahaha

Vinny: My wife got a...uuh

All was quiet

Best way to start off what is sure to be a stressful work day. So much hype!

Good shit.

Hour 24? Thank you so much Giantbomb. Also SUPER interested in hearing Rorie's thoughts on the game.

YES I was waiting all day for this!

Maaan, I don't want to watch this, I don't want to watch this, I don't want to watch this.  
 
...I know I'm going to watch this.

I am sooo not hipster enough to play this.

An hour and a half? Awesome. I never played Demon's Souls, and to be honest it doesn't really look like a game that's for me, but I'm at the very least interested to see it played.

1 1/2 hour?

Beer is cold and my body is ready!

I really don't want to watch this, but I will.

Rorie! My wish has come true!

I REALLY REALLY hope the xbox 360 port is comparable to the PS3 version, because I've always wanted to play Demon's Souls so bad but no PS3

Time to start counting deaths!

Hope you guys enjoy. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

1.5 hour quick look, woo!

Aww yiss, Dark Souls.

I feel the same...

You want to not watch, but there was never really a choice..

Looking forward to this video this evening!

Looks a lot like Demon's Souls. I could not happier about that.

"One of those tips out there was to-" *Monster leaps up to club Rorie to death* "FUUUCK ME."

I made an account just to say how excited I am to watch this and on the 4th pick up my collectors edition.

I am excited to watch this and on the 4th pick up my collectors edition.

this will totally decide whether or not i decide to buy it. Quick Look Go!!!!!!

Silly Rorie, using edged weapons on skeletons? Have you learned nothing from Demon's Souls?

Use a club, hammer or mace, and they will vanish like snow before the sun.

Can't wait to get my ass kicked by this series all over again. Dark Souls is like Kings Field, Zelda and Silent Hill all rolled into one. Such an amazing experience.

OH GOD YES!

Vinny @ 18:25 is Hilarious!

Rorie and Dark Souls? 
 
I'm in a dream, aren't I? NO COMBO COULD EVER BE AS GOOD AS THIS

This video is larger than Baldur's Gate*

*In HD, in terms of gigabytes and the little number in front of it denoting how many.

This video has changed my life and I haven't even watched it yet!

Rorie dies a handful of times and the comments will still say how incomprehensibly fucked up this game obviously is.
 
While the usual death count for a Quick Look is way higher. The comments on those videos will say how it's really hard to talk while playing.  
 
Makes complete sense guys.

I actually didn't have any of those here. I did try a mace, but it did less damage than the spear did so I stopped using it.

Demon's souls had my favorite character creation... EVER. It was so dumb. Good to see it back.

Glad to see some love for this game. It may be a while before I pick it up. Also I like how Rorie is kind of leading this quicklook. I was surprised to hear he liked Demon's Souls. Pretty cool.

Not sure if I'll buy this game but I can't wait to watch this!

I hope the 360 version is up to snuff, nice to hear Rorie in quick looks.

Don't know if i want to watch because i want this game to be as fresh as possible when i play it.

Not sure if this is true, but I heard that being hollowed gives a random unknown penalty to your stats.

what GIF are they talking about?

@Rorie: My bad, I always used blunt weapons on the skeletons in Demon's Souls, as is was super effective.

Wonder why they try to be polite in this video, no swearing and all that. I like it when they swear!

Is it just me or is the audio mixed at much lower volume than normal?
