"It's just a videogame" Dark Souls 3 Tribute

Dark Souls was a game that saved my high school final exams. I got some shitty topic about mansions in books, but I had only two. So the Professor wrote something on three pieces of paper, I choose one and gambled death in culture media. I was talking about Dark Souls. How real death in man life is not dying. But lack of purpose, abandonment of our goals and people we live for is a true death. When we are forgotten by others. They just sad there stunned by what I said, but said nothing. I won this gamble but I meet the sane profesor who gave me second chance on the same day. He asked me why I talked about a video game. I almost let tears drop when I remembered rage on this game. Impatience to deliver next strike. And quitting before huge challange before me. But in life you cannot just "quit". I had a shit and fucked up life in my early years. At the same time I remembered how Lorentius didn't wanted Chosen One to go hollow, Adre the same. How our Onion knight's were always happy to see us. I learned to value a few, true friends I have, to cherish a moment, to move forward no matter what and teach the same lesson to others that need help. World is a bad place but we don't have to go alone. We're together in this and from this moment. After the exams that I passed, I told myself I'll never go away. I'll never quit from what is my goal in life and never abandon my friends. I responded with just six words that left this man speechless: "It teached me how to live..." Thank you Dark Souls, thank you Miyazaki and Thank you Miyura. For giving this masterpiece. Sorry for this long story. Don't you dare go hollow all of you 🍻

“Goodbye, then. Be safe, friend. Don’t you dare go hollow!”

How did Overwatch win GOTY over this?

Dark Souls is a series that I think everyone (even those who hate games) should experience. It is a series that helped me escape depression in high school and is the series that made me choose a literature major. I recently did a research paper on Bloodborne (a huge gamble since it’s worth 80% of my class grade) and ended up getting a A+ on it. I think if a game can impress a literature professor then it shows it’s quality.

This game changed everyone's life who played it. Every FromSoftware game taught me to never give up and never stop trying. "Once more is the war cry that Dark Souls tries to teach you" and I will only say 1 thing to all my fellow Souls lovers, "Don't you dare go Hollow"

the "ashen one, hearest thou my voice, still?" absolutely killed me, keep up the beautiful work

DS3 was my first dark souls game. It changed my life.

I did it for the Knight of Catarina who fought bravely by my side, until the end may the sun shine on him wherever he may be…..

Praise the sun!

When you just hear ”it’s popular because it is hard” you don’t get it. There is something missing. Games that are hard need to stand out in some way. I played Dark Souls out of curiosity and felt the world to be so alive. It felt real but is also felt haunted. I played the game and understood some of it but I still didn’t get it. I played it three more times and then Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 3. Then it clicked. It’s not about the challenge. The challenge is only a part of the atmosphere and world building. This is one of the most thematically beautiful stories ever about going against all odds to find a purpose in a world that is dying. It is only at the end when the game let’s you make the decision on what you believe is right.

3:43 That awkward moment where you chased another titanite slab and found feelings instead.

You know, i could write a book on my dark souls experiences. My grandfather is an old Vietnam vet. He found demon souls on ps when it came out and kept pushing me to play it. I kept putting it off. Finally after ds3 came out i bought him the game as a present but played it myself. Together we've beat every game together over the last 3 years over and over. He summons me for help at times but he finds his way to cheese every boss. Watching him kill bosses that no guide on YT can teach you with a bow got me to say one day "grandpa you're a damn cheater.". His response will always lay with me "yea well this game fucking cheats" as he killed the nameless king 1st phase with just a damn bow. Me and him always hated prince lothric. I killed them 20+ times for him as it was the only boss he couldnt find his own way to cheese. To hear that dialogue on the opening of this video just captivates me. We all have stories of this game i suppose. But me n my grandfather share such a deep bond of this series its hard not to want to share it with others sometimes. To see people's faces when they hear my 70 year old grandfather knows the souls series in and out is hilarious. Thanks for the video my friend, for it let's me remember these great times. Fear not the dark my friend, and let the feast begin.

Omfg. You did ds3 such an honor. This could be a trailer for it. I fking cried. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much.

See, I firmly believe that video games are a medium of storytelling and art that is unmatched and the depth of emotion one can feel from such an interactive experience has not been achieved by any other medium of entertainment. This is precisely why everyone loved Dark Souls. Beyond the difficulty there is art. Shame that most games we get anymore are multiplayer and mosh pit stuff.

“For the videogame that changed my life”. Ty for this.

Dark souls taught me that no matter how many times you fall you must get up and fight for one day will reward you

Game helped me through severe suicidal depression, showed me no matter how hard, I am making progress, I am pushing on, marching on, fighting still, and in the end, 5 years later, here I am, stronger than ever

Best souls game and one of the best games ever made

Damn, this kinda made me sad, knowing that I’ll never be able to get that experience of playing Ds1 and Ds3 and get that first time experience! Such amazing games, great memories with a lot of random people

I'm not crying, you are.
