Endure 30 Minutes Of A Japanese Girl Playing Dark Souls
If you're as excited as I am for Dark Souls, From Software's upcoming spiritual successor to Demon's Souls, then I've got a weekend treat for you.
These three 10-minute videos that apparently originated from Japanese video site Nico Nico show off a Japanese girl playing through an early section of Dark Souls while her two companions and a legion of Internet viewers cheer her on. The videos include some stiff sword combat (she apparently hasn't mastered the art of dodging yet), a look at one of the game's first bosses, and, naturally, plenty of deaths.
The YouTube comments are of course full of people calling out the girl with the controller for sucking, but I'll stand up for her: In a game like Dark Souls, you're expected to die plenty. In a game like Dark Souls, we all suck a little. Also let's wait and see how many times Reiner dies when I force him to play this for a Reiner and Phil video.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
