Surprise!

First of all, no one told me this was jump scares galore, second of all, I am having a quick break from editing videos, so thought I would publish this now so you all have something new this weekend outside of Zelda :) Also I suck at the game :) I always get the feeling like I am not doing enough video wise haha, not sure where it comes from, but as soon as I publish a video the feeling returns like, right, got to do another one immediately now because I don't upload enough 😅 But I am having a little break after working late for Zelda and then back on the horse with revisiting Dredge, I love playing that, I also spotted another game I want to film called Later Alligator whose trailer made me laugh so going to try to squeeze that in when I am back. I reckon I will play Dark Souls pretty slowly, I am anticipating I will get stuck a lot, so don't get toooo excited for frequent souls uploads yet! That's all :) 

Surprise!

I'm so happy you are playing this! And I love the way you play it, taking in the surroundings and reading items, do not worry about being "slow", that's in my opinion the best way to enjoy From Software games :)

Ruben

Honestly, your method of playing Fromsoft games is such an absolute joy to watch. I hope you can avoid the awful comments that turned you off to it during Bloodborne. Also, one piece of unsolicited advice: you’re really good at these games. Skip the shield, and just use fire in one hand and a weapon in the other. You’ll have a better time. You already learned to dodge in Bloodborne. You’ve got this.

octopus for good

Ah I'm so glad you're playing this. Dark Souls is easily the best experience I have ever had with a video game. I won't say anything more specific, but I am especially looking forward to one jump scare in particular from one of the later areas (iykyk)

Jeffrey Samuelson

Oh nooo, I completely missed this 😮 Going to watch this asap 🤗

Huib Gelling

Can't believe I had forgotten that you hadn't played this yet. So excited. The world building really is top notch. Can't wait for you to explore, and discover all that this franchise has to offer. And most importantly, enjoy!

Errrik

Fantastic!!! It's finally here! Don't worry about sucking at Dark Souls, everyone does at first. I'm sure within a few episodes you'll be one shotting bosses just like you did in Bloodborne!

Nick Herrick

Amazing. So happy you're starting this game, I also really like the little edits you're adding on your latest videos

Arkytior

What a great surprise!! This was a really fun episode. Don't worry about feeling like you are going slow, that's totally the vibe these games are going for anyway :) And don't worry about feeling like you are bad at this! I died like 15 times before even making it to the first undead burg bonfire, so your gameplay in this video is extremely impressive. This game is also very much about dying in extremely funny ways. Thanks for this wonderful surprise!

ChronoKnot

What a fun start to your Dark Souls adventure. I thought you did rather well and don't be too unhappy with your deaths to falling. It is like a Rite of Passage everyone goes through. I did love the fact that you added some flames at one point to show how you were seething. Enjoy your break and as always I will look forward to more episodes of whatever you have coming.

Wow, i am still on the process of completing the 1st Zelda episode... I will watch this today though, huh. And yes, i'd like to see more of this.

Holy shit, I wake up on a Sunday morning and not only is there a new Amber video, but it's mother fucking DARK SOULS! I know you said you were going to play it, but in my head I thought we were going to be with Zelda for like a month before that, so yeah, I'm surprised! You've been absolutely killing it with the uploads, so don't you fret. 'Also I suck at this game'. Oh, shush. Everyone sucks at Dark Souls at the start, you are supposed to. I've not heard of Later Alligator before, had a Google, and it's looks adorable and kinda weird. Enjoy your Sunday, Amber, and thank you for the video.

Yeah you'd probably even find someone within the community who'd do it for very little incentive (or even free) just to help out/get practice tbh.

Andy

Thinking of the community first by dropping a video before taking a break. Those jump scares really got you, wow. And you are doing really good with your editing. Lots of extra effects in this one. I haven't played Dark Souls but from what I understand it really is about learning the move sets which you seem to be doing very well. And someone build a god damn railing around that place!!

Jeff Gaston

Why would we tell you about the jumpscares, that's content 😅. Also re: Editing, I share what ChilledGricken said. If you enjoy the process maybe hire an editor for a particular series and do it yourself for others. Alternatively, slow down so you don't stress yourself out! Also you did super well, I remember when I first played Dark Souls. I did not go the way you went and... it was definitely not the right way to go. Also something worth noting if someone hasn't told you before, most of the Dark Souls story is told through item descriptions, piecemeal. You seem to be reading everything you pick up anyway though!

Adam

Later Alligator is quite possibly the cutest game ever made, as could be expected from the Emmy award winning animation duo Smallbu. I'm excited to see your reactions to the wonderful residents of Alligator New York City. Shame about the hitman though.

Fungoid

Seriously, being nasty to Amber is like being angry at a room full of puppies.

Rogue Variable

I think your spoiling us :-)

Rogue Variable

Started the video and saw your worry about negative comments. Just wanted to mention, you are the sweetest positive person and there are some people out there who just like to be negative all the time. And they post those kinds of comments because they have the anonymity of the internet and would not dare say it to your face. Don't take it personally, this is not an attack on you, they just don't know how to be nice.

PassHerBy

Ok, as surprises go, that is a GREAT one! I am a very happy viewer rn 😀

Human#19138980

awesome! what a lovely surprise! i've been feeling quite spoiled content-wise recently, i think you've been doing great! i would definitely consider getting an editor tho if it's beginning to really stress you out as micheal said. it doesn't have to be for every video if you don't want, just maybe sometimes to relieve the stress of getting a new vid out?

ChilledGricken

What a surprise! You’re spoiling us. Thank you so much for all your hard work! Hope you’re still able to go on some long walks with Sir Walton 🙂

Matt Cheney

Awesome! Great surprise, but welcome to be sure! Have you ever thought of getting an editor for your videos? The amount of editing you do must make it much harder to put stuff out.
