  Merry Christmas one and all. <br><br>What better way to celebrate the festive season than with a massive video about a game where everything is trying to kill you? As discussed - please let me know all your Demons Souls theories and lorecrafting as there are so many cool things that slipped through the cracks of this video. I especially want to hear from people that played it back in 2009 and initially bounced of it like I did!<br><br>As for the Patreon - if you use code DEMON - you get 50% off for December. It is the life blood of the channel so if you do decide to join - thank you from the bottom of my heart! <a href="https://patreon.com/IFinishedAVideoGame">https://patreon.com/IFinishedAVideoGame</a>

  Souls fans would tell miyazaki he didn’t push his car up that snowy mountain because he got help from others

  Miyazaki being 29 when he started working in the games industry is actually inspiring to hear as someone working in the entertainment industry who turns 29 next year. The future really only stops being out of reach when you&apos;re dead, incapacitated beyond all reasonable recovery or give up. Bit corny? Perhaps, but it&apos;s true.

  Props to reviewers at the time, esp Gamespot and Eurogamer, who recognized what Demon&apos;s Souls vision actually was.<br>Which made people look into it.

  Demons Souls. The game that cemented the mentality in my mind that I&apos;m only really a failure if I fail to keep going until I succeed. I think that thats the lesson that the Souls series, and beyond, are truly there for. That you can fail. You can rest. But that you always have the choice to get back up on your feet and keep moving. And that its up to you to do so.

  Thank you for so concisely explaining what the problem with world tendancy is. Either you don&apos;t understand it, in which case &nbsp;you can accidentally doom yourself by sending a world into pure black, or you do understand it, in which case you realize that the risk-reward is massively titled in favor of never going outside the nexus in human form.

  I remember my older brother raging at this game, I couldn&apos;t beat it either. Dark souls is where my obsession began
