Dark Souls Saved My Life.

Today, I wanted to talk about how Dark Souls and Elden Ring changed my life. The souls series along with Bloodborne and Sekiro really gave me the confidence and ability to think about my life differently and avoid fear of failure. Dark Souls truly changed my life and taught me to embrace challenges, and I can't thank Fromsoftware enough for their incredible works of art.

this is the motivation speech every souls-fan that feels a bit lost in life needs to hear.

Dark Souls taught us a very important lesson: Never give up regardless how difficult the situation is.

I remember being invaded in Dark Souls 3 the very first time I got to the Ringed City. I was very bad at PvP, so I just sat down, hoping that the invader would leave. Instead they waved at me and showed me the safe path through the ghost archer guys, all the way to the next bonfire. The most wholesome moment I've ever experienced in online gaming.

Dark Souls isn't just a game, its a whole ass mentality about not fearing your biggest seemingly insurmountable challenges but instead looking forward to them as they will test your limits and create immense satisfaction upon completion. Amazing video man! Your story definitely connects with me on a deep level and I'm glad that you shared this.

No matter what you're going through, get out of that bonfire and run to the boss, just like you should in the real World

RESPECT, MOTIVATION, AND JEALOUSY. My feelings watching this

[Paratyde]

It makes me so happy knowing that I can relate to someone on how these games have affected my life. Going from a lazy kid sleeping all day to now owning a house and working a full time job. I will forever be indebted to this series as it has taught me so much and it helped me grow into the person I am today.

I'll come back here again once I finish my journey and reach my goal.
Tbh I DID NOT expect to see such a deep video. I'm currently quite lost in life, but I feel like I needed to hear this.
Thanks fellow souls brother.

The moral of the DemonSoulsBorneRing series is to not give up. Giving up complete means going hollow. But also;
- You shouldn't be afraid of failing.
- Taking a breather or putting something aside and taking a breather is not the same as giving up.
- Mindlessly throwing yourself at a problem again and again is akin to insanity and means you're not thinking clearly.
- And most notably, learning to focus on and keeping a steady breath through intense situations is key to a successful outcome. Keeping a level head and accepting humility will net your rewards

It's wholesome to see that a video game opened your mind to understand that practice is everything. I'm playing these games as an adult (turning 31 soon) and it's so rewarding once you understand this is a game of patience, planning, analysis. Elden Ring got me hooked hard.

Just my story (long rant): grew up being told i'm talented at drawing and, as such, i drew a lot because i liked being praised. But didn't actively put much effort into it. And then met other people who drew better than me just because they practiced more. And then met people who initially were told they're lacking talent but got there anyways with practice and love for it. This is when i learnt there is no "talent", just what YOU like doing and the amount of time spent on it. If you like something enough, you will get good at it, but having patience with yourself is the hardest thing.

I grew up poor and a girl, so I played video games at my friends' place only or just watched them play. I sucked at most games, but always did research and practiced when i could, hoping to beat or at least be a challenge for my friends.

Skipping 15 years ahead, i encouraged my partner (gamer since an early age) to buy DS3, seen videos of it and we knew it was hard, but gorgeous. He died 15 times to Jundex Gundyr and gave up on it, his ego too hurt to learn the buttons and attack pattern. Seeing him fail so badly scared me and we didn't touch the game for 3 years. January this year, i quit my job and in that darkness and stress, i promised him i will help with DS3 to be his guide. I wanted something to do. He beat the entire game and all the bosses within 2 weeks, Jundex Gundyr within 5 tries and Vordt on first try. I was watching playthroughs, memorizing the path and enemy spawns as well as invisible walls and tricks and essentially back-sitting him where to go as his sense of direction is much worse than mine.

Elden Ring came out, i got a job and bought him a copy with the promise to do the same thing. Which we did for a month straight. He finished it 4 times and then bought me a copy as well, so we can play together. Thankfully, i remembered how much he struggled in DS3 and dying to Soldier of Godrick was just a bit hurtful (as i chugged all my estus by accident before, trying to roll). My partner always let me face the boss on my own and, if i die early, he wouldn't finish it off, but have me face it again until i properly dodged attacks. Needless to say that we both platinum-ed Elden Ring and it brought us so much closer to one another, letting ego aside and accepting feedback from one another. We'll look to play all of their games together, as soon as they're on sale.

Long story short, i love this community and what FromSoftware created. It feels like these games are for mature audiences.

This is exactly how I felt after reading Berserk (well DS and many Souls-like games are deeply influenced by Berserk) Im gonna play DS too, just to see how much Berserk has thought me. For me Berserk guided me through my darkest days of depression and anxiety, gave me a reason to live. Thank you and RIP Kentaro Miura for his endless inspiration and contribution to Souls-like Games. And Thank you fellow Struggler Ember.

This is the cheesiest compliment but this video truly deserves the title of being *inspirational* and *motivational* ; your story is relatable, down-to-earth, and really universal.

Also congrats on becoming a great content creator, keep up the great work and the amazing *outstanding* outros.

Dark Souls 3 was the game I fell in love with and have come to realize how much of a security blanket it was at the time. I could say the exact same thing for Elden Ring earlier this year when a tragedy happened that affected me emotionally negatively. I appreciate you making this video.

[nativegamer]

the community is amazing today i was playing through ds1 for my first time and i got invaded and i panicked when the invader came out of nowhere, he then stopped and waved and dropped souls humanties and other items. and then dipped

[childbeatergunr.]

when i am playing games i still dont feel that anythink changed in my life, just playing games thats all.

[vellikaari]

Honestly, I'm just glad you didn't let the community gate-keep you. As a kid when Dark Souls first dropped, it taught me very early on that challenges are not something to shy away from. I practically spent half of my childhood on this series, and Elden Ring feels like an idealized version of Dark Souls, combined with their knowledge gained from Demon's Souls, Bloodborne and Sekiro, and I felt that gratification that the Souls formula had reached its peak. Watching this series grow with me has been a great experience.

This game helped me through my depression as well, in fact I didn’t even know I was depressed until I got hooked on souls games 2 years ago, they changed my entire perspective on my abilities and the power I actually have to overcome incredibly difficult obstacles, and sticking through it.

[neverman]

Most of the modern souls fans started with ds3(me, you, so many more included(. They were somewhat depressed and bored at that point in their life and just said, meh why not? And it changed their life, our life, forever. Thank you dark souls

[bladeseed]

lowkey got me in tears tbh my entire life literally just flashed to me i really needed to not only listen to your story but reflect it on my own

[bencerubanyi]

Those people who didnt recognised the music in the 7th minute didt understand what you are talking about, however who did respect bro thats how you do it
