Kay Plays |OT|

Well.. she trampled that stage.

Sort of a shame she went all the way through worlds 2 and 4 before even walking into 5.
It'd be nice if the other stages automatically went into a darker tendency by doing stuff like that.

3-1 and 3-2 have some awful bosses... the levels pay off though.
 
Okay, I have to say, is Kay 70+ years old? I don't think I've heard 'gives me the willies' since 1940's TV reruns. What next, 'Gee willikers'? Am I in an episode of Scooby Doo? ha, I'm only poking fun, tis funny to hear :P

"The willies" is a rather specific feeling, though - I'm not sure there's a modern replacement. Jitters?
 
Just watched the new episode.

Glad to see 5-2's still got it!... It's still got it baby, yeah!


But sad there may not be another episode for a couple of days. Bah.
 
That's clever observation from her. I thought the Golem was just some random boss, but Garl Vinland? holy shit that kinda makes sense I guess.
 
The two bosses in this area do seem a bit random, other than being relevant to the environment. Dirty Colossus has never been a boss I enjoy facing because it's pretty boring and I doubt I've ever died to it - it's too easy to run away and heal if you get hit.

Glad she found the MGS, I don't think she did in DS1 and it's more relevant here since it scales with faith in DeS.
 
She was really excited about that shortcut, she didn't even loot the treasure right next to it until after opening up the way!

I honestly don't believe Dirty Colossus is a boring fight. It is more tedious and had good execution, the only thing that took away the whole fear faction was how easy it is to get behind him and avoid most of his attacks. He's essentially an Alpha Build of the Rotten if we want to get into present design. But he had the bugs which consumed life and halved healing items. You're supposed to run into the fires to get rid of the bugs. So that was really cool, knowing you didn't HAVE to have those things munching on you.
 
Never was a big fan of Dirty Colossus. The design is probably my least favorite Demon's Boss.

It's sort of a hodge podge of things.. and maybe that's the point, but it doesn't make a lot of sense, nor does it look particularly interesting or intimidating.

I'm a fan of the Valley of Defilement, but those first two bosses are just so so.


edit:

I wonder why Garl and Astraea didn't exhaust their dialogue when Kay fought them.. Hm.

Because she wasn't in Human form. They don't talk to you in Soul form... which is a huge shame, because that dialog just tears at your heart strings.
 
I think 3-1 kind of sucks, but 3-2, even with the nastiest of all the game's bosses, is still my favourite level.

The wait for Bloodborne is really unbearable.
 
I was hoping to post Maneater by Hall and Oats, but it'll have to wait.

Maneater gave me more shit than any Souls boss personally.

Wow. Black Phantom Scirvir is a beast!

Say.. Why did Kay only have 3 Stones of Ephemeral Eyes?? She must have picked up about a dozen and she never used any if I recall.

Did she suicide on all those areas to get them pure black, then act like she didn't know what was going on?


Either way, she certainly had a crap ton more Stones of Ephemeral Eyes than that, yeah?

Alimnassor, she may as well run through all those levels in black tendency. She certainly did a lot of editing so you wouldn't have to deal with the retread.
 
Maybe she put the other stones of ephemeral eyes in the Nexus storage.

I don't know why the tendency went pure dark so suddenly, tho.

Either way, black tendency is best tendency.
 
Don't tell me she plans to go through every level on every world once again?

poor baby! :) ...

ever consider she might want to just enjoy herself while playing these games? & we're all kinda fortunate that she's also chosen to share her experience with us?...

seriously, if she's to choose between doing what she wants to do, & whatever she thinks might play better in peoria, i'm hoping she'll always go with the former. i enjoy watching kay because she's having a good time, & i don't really care what she gets up to while doing so...

&, yeah, as's been mentioned: she edits these videos pretty effectively...
 
That fight you had with the merchant gone mad in 2-1 was pretty epic.

I loved the way he "tricked" you into thinking he was about to fall down, and then nonchalantly burned you to a crisp when you rushed him. :p

Weird how some of these Black Tendency NPCs are even tougher than bosses.
 
Nope!

Yup!

Seriously, though, I'm not out to hoodwink anyone. :)

Not sure if you noticed this yet, but equip that Ring of Sincere Prayer you got from Astraea and cast any miracle. You'll be in for a treat since you've played the other two Souls games.

Also await Kay reaction at the death scream of
Old King Doran
 
Nope!

Enjoy the game, Kay, I tend to skip bits and pieces of the retreads but that shouldn't stop you from playing the game however you please. As others have said, have you seen the latest bloodborne trailer? No shields(hopefully) so it should be a different experience for you. I would actually love it if you played the dark souls 2 dlc without a shield. 2 hand that shiz!
 
I don't think kay has seen anything of Bloodborne. I wonder if she'll go back and play the Dark Souls 2 DLC.

Oh, and kay don't you realize by now someone is killing your allies? It's a good olec ase of whodunit.
 
Someone forgot the golden rule...

She's a week ahead anyway, so she probably can't be get spoiled by it, it's also basically done again in DS1, and she's played it.

EDIT: Oh, she notices in today's episode anyway.
 
Who does Yurt kill first of the real NPCs?

I've a feeling it's going to take at least one death for Kay to do what should've been done at the cages in 3-2. I always push the SOB off the edge! Also interested to see if she meets Mephistopheles, hope so!
