Notice how Ireland has very little in the way of forest cover ? We used to be predominantly covered by forest but that all went to helping aul Britannia rule the waves . They wanted what they had for growing luxury crops like tobacco and sugar <| sep |> Going Rawls deep with no protection <| sep |> You shouldn ' t lime anybody especially not in the coconut <| sep |> For anyone planning to watch these streams , some advice Just skip the first archived stream after Asylum Demon , honestly . The guy is entertaining and all but he simply does not pay attention and he makes almost no progress after 3 hours of play , repeating the exact same mistakes over and over , purposefully avoiding content , and not even making it to the Undead Parish bonfire . He even admits himself that he is playing like an asshole his words , not mine . He pays no attention to NPC dialogue , skips anything lore related , and derides the concept of lore in general at several points . So , he ' s the kind of player who not only is disinterested in that part of the game which is okay on its own , but who will criticize the idea of the lore without making any effort to learn about it , which is extremely annoying particularly for anyone who finds it interesting . He drinks on stream which wouldn ' t be a bad thing on its own but he becomes increasingly stubborn and oblivious to everything around him while he plays drunk . This is part of the reason why he couldn ' t get through Undead Parish in 3 hours . In a later stream he also drank and thus kept trying to run through Lower Undead Burg without killing any enemies , and thus was killed by the enemies over and over again . At the peak of his frustration he likes to shit on the game . He played DS 3 first so anything different from his DS 3 experience becomes a target for criticism . Around the time he repeatedly attempts to run through Lower Burg and fight Capra , he goes off on how the rolling feels off as he rollspams with a midroll , and how DS 3 is the better game with better level design , even though he ' s only one hour ' s worth of the way through DS 1 . At one point he got so belligerent that he started mocking the audience for critiquing his shitty play and antagonistic , presumptuous criticism of DS 1 . It ' s worse knowing that he ' s a games journalist and thus this impression may someday affect his future writing on the game , unfairly tainting the game for his readers who ' ve never played it . He doesn ' t value level design much at all . He never is interested in any of the shortcuts , doesn ' t remember level layouts , gets lost more often than he doesn ' t , doesn ' t explore , is bad at following directions from chat , and balks at the implication that he should have any idea where he should be going . He even gets lost in the Upper Undead Burg , i . e . one of the simplest , most linear areas in the whole game . The only place so far where he had any semblance of direction was in the Depths , ironically , and that ' s because he finally put his drink down and tried to pay attention . In the end , with liberal skipping of garbage sections of the stream where he is antagonistic , this was decently worthwhile . But it ' s definitely one of the more patiencewearing LPs I ' ve seen second only to Day ' s LP , and probably best for those who prefer to see people fail at Dark Souls . for several hours rather than those who prefer to see people succeed at it . When he ' s not drunk and he actually puts a modicum of effort in , he ' s a charming person and there have been several hilarious moments . It ' s always pleasant when his gf shows up as well because she seems like such a nice person and she ' s good at breaking the guy ' s tension . But of the almost 7 hours I watched , at least half of that was when he was drunk and wasting time repeating the same mistakes over and over again getting lost , trying to run past gauntlets and failing multiple times , etc . , which is only funny the first few times , not after the tenth time . I don ' t expect masterful play from streamers but this is such a mixed bag that I felt obliged to write this up for the sake of anyone who hates this style of stream and doesn ' t want to spend hours finding out whether this is worth their time . As for other LPs , I would recommend Kay Plays A player , extremely patient and observant , and has an appreciation for lore or Jeff Greene not a great player , but very entertaining and pleasant overall , at least after he starts liking the game above this LP , because despite their rookie play and sometimes hilarious ineptitude early on , they have a consistent appreciation for the game without nearly as much drinking and without the premature , grating criticism .
