I finally played my very first Dark Souls game! It was hard. But not for the reasons I expected...

"Go give this potion to Nepheli"
"Ok, where is she?"
"Shut the **** up"
Fromsoft sidequests in a nutshell

That “I can’t recall the touch of grass” LOTR deep cut was too perfect. I wonder how long they wanted to use the quote

[ValorantCurios]

Alright Shelby, it's time to have you run it back with the entire series. I need a "Should Your Girlfriend Play Blood Borne" video pls

[DoctorDex]

That "Are you sure you want to revive your horse?" prompt is pure evil.. It doesn't even default to yes... CURSE YOU MIYAZAKI!

[thiagobnla]

has anyone, ever, tried to summon Torrent and choose "no" because it would have to use a flask to revive it, EVER? I seriously doubt it

[davidcleary]

Miyazaki has said in an interview that as a kid he liked reading big confusing books he couldn't understand as he liked using his imagination to understand them. That's why the story in his games are so hard to understand

[jankdotTV]

Tracking quests was so impossible i started writing down my own quest log and honestly it made the experience way more rewarding, felt like I was piecing together the puzzle as I went.

In a sea of overly cynical and boisterous game reviewers, Girlfriend Reviews makes everything fun and funnier again. Never miss a video with these two :)

GET GUD XD

“Even the cut scenes were hard […] the conversations were hard” resonated with me far too deeply.

[Harlinger]

As a new player, I agree with the complaints about the controls completely. Please stop targeting that weird fly instead of the deadly dragon's head/leg.

[soapymargherita]

You guys genuinely do some of the best written, performed, and edited stuff on youtube, and they just keep getting better.

[Broadmoore]

Love the Hades music! And everything else about this video. As a hardcore souls fan- this video is just absolutely perfect

[strawberrik]

I had the opposite happen to me. When I told my husband I wanted Elden Ring he immediately told me I would not like it. He felt bad for saying that, got me the game, and now I'm hooked! Not just that. We started playing together (taking turns like back in the 90's). LOL! 🤣🙏

[GigglebunsUV]

I love how you brought up the strange locking on to random enemies, the fact that it's been so consistent since literally Zelda Ocarina of Time is really funny

[zacharron]

Gotta say, that monkey-antler-porcupine monster looks pretty terrifying.

[MrELN]

I don’t know if anyone here has ever played the amazing game Outer Wilds (not Outer Worlds) but the way they handle quest tracking I believe would work in Souls games. It doesn’t hold your hand by any means but it does keep track of enough information to at least give you an idea of what you’ve been doing and potentially where you might go next. You still have that strong sense of mystery and figuring it out for yourself but you don’t feel totally lost.

[AWanderingSwordsman]

This does not excuse from's camera vs large enemies, but fighting large enemies is totally functional without lock on and in fact that makes it way easier. You can briefly lock on when they fly up just to keep track of em if you really want but most of the time unlocked is the way to go.

[KhreamedKhorne]

Pro tip: If an enemy is large enough that it has multiple lock-on points, don't lock-on unless you're using spells or ranged weapons. It's also helpful to not lock on while fighting groups

[markm]

Love that this game is bringing more people in. I love the obscure story and quest stuff but do agree the controls can be a bit much. The lock on and camera are your biggest enemies at times.
