The video focuses on how much more open, free, and fun these games are than I was led to believe based on everything I ever heard of &#8216;Git Gud&#8217;. Over the course of five hours, the video tries to figure out how the games support or detract from one another, the ways they&#8217;re connected, and how a clumsy fool like me can find not only victory but comfort in their strange, sad little worlds. <\/p>\n<p>This video made with production assistance from Nate Greene.<\/p>\n<p>___Table of Contents___<\/p>\n<p>Dark Souls 1 Remastered&#8211; 00:40<br \/>\nDark Souls 2 Scholar of the First Sin&#8211; 1:42:14<br \/>\nDS2 Sunken Crown DLC&#8211; 2:13:20<br \/>\nDS2 Iron Crown DLC&#8211; 2:33:15<br \/>\nDS2 Ivory Crown DLC&#8211; 2:45:42<br \/>\nDark Souls 3&#8211; 3:05:05<br \/>\nDS3 Ashes of Ariandel&#8211; 4:00:14<br \/>\nDS3 The Ringed City&#8211; 4:10:08<\/p>\n<p>========================================<br \/>\nIf you enjoyed this video and want to contribute to the production of others like it, please consider donating through the crowdfunding website Patreon:  https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/noahcaldwellgervais<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a full spoilers critique and exploration of my quest to make it through all three of Dark Souls action<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":292997,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[39832,212,7188,2825,9346,11833,2234,15,42226],"class_list":{"0":"post-292996","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rpg","8":"tag-critique","9":"tag-dark-souls","10":"tag-dark-souls-2","11":"tag-dark-souls-3","12":"tag-lore","13":"tag-retrospective","14":"tag-review","15":"tag-rpg","16":"tag-theory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292996","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=292996"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292996\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/292997"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=292996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=292996"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=292996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
