Nick smashed through DLC1 all while being hilarious and indignant. Someone oughtta make a mashup of all the times that bird fell on his head. I haven't laughed so hard in a dog's age. There were four times he got hit, as far as I remember, and once where he dodged it: 1. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/134579162?t=58m33s 2. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/134579162?t=01h00m41s 3. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/134579162?t=01h04m15s 4. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/134579162?t=01h06m09s (near miss!) 5. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/134579162?t=01h08m13s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thainatos Posted April 24, 2017 Thanks, Rubixs. The comedic timing is unbelievably good. Also, Problem, the ownage I was thinking of was the crack about "someone needs to lead the baby gamer through the world by his tiny baby hand" when Nick missed the pathway up the hill after the bonfire outside of the locked door. It wasn't overly harsh, it was just well timed and hilarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kyir Posted April 24, 2017 Classic Problem Machine, saying mean things about Nick. On a different note, did Nick end up getting the DS3 Calamity Ring when he was in Archdragon Peak? I wonder how many subscriptions it would take to get him to put that one on. If I recall correctly, he did it for only five or six in DS1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Problem Machine Posted April 25, 2017 Oh haha, I think I might have gotten a little actually salty there. Like, particularly because I think this DLC has a lot of level design problems, but that moment is absolutely not one of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kyir Posted May 15, 2017 I would like to point out that it's now been just over a year since Nick made the fateful claim that he had completely internalized Dark Souls 3, spawning one of the most beloved stream features in all of Twitch. Thanks, Nick! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
isopodshuffle Posted July 29, 2017 Did he give up on Bloodborne after part 6? If so, that's disappointing :/ These streams are what made the series finally "click" for me. I'd made a few half-hearted stabs at it before, but never got anywhere. Hell, IIRC one of my DS1 playthroughs ended on the character creation screen (couldn't figure out which class to pick, started googling and quickly got overwhelmed). I got my PS4 right around when BB launched, so I picked that up too on a whim. My friend had been hyping it up and I really liked the look of it, so I figured I'd give it another shot. Threw in the towel after maybe 30 minutes, wrote off the series as "probably really good games but just... not for me." A few weeks ago I somehow ended up watching the first couple parts of the DS3 stream, and it really helped me get past the wall I kept hitting with these games. Part of it was me saying "hell, if Nick can handle this while being absolutely shitfaced and hamstringing himself with a dumb gimmick build (and also often being comically bad), why can't I???" But the big thing that helped was actually getting to see how the map layout worked in practice. I was under the impression that you would have to basically do every section, up to and including the boss, in one perfect run. I'd heard that shortcuts opened up later, but for some reason I thought that meant like "alternate paths to new areas" or something. Didn't realize that each level kind of looped back on itself a few times, allowing for more incremental progress. So! That made me really tempted to pick up DS3, but I was worried it would be a waste of money, and I'd still end up bouncing off of it right away. Decided to reinstall BB and take another crack at it, and holy crap I'm loving it now. Beat Father Gascoigne on my first try and felt like a total badass. Last night I spent a couple hours on blood-starved beast, and finally took the bastard down. Up until now whenever I got frustrated or stuck, I'd take a break and watch Nick's stream up to where I was. It's been really useful in a few ways - I find myself learning from his mistakes (like, "oh hey, I just realized I tend to do that same thing there. I should watch out for that"), but also it helped a lot to see someone take a very different approach to a part I'm stuck on. For example, early on I spent an insane amount of time at the bonfire, carefully taking out the villagers one by one. I was trying to methodically lure stragglers off from the crowd with pebbles, but hadn't realized yet that you need to lock on, so it was... slow going. After a few hours I finally cleared them all, but immediately got pummelled by the troll. I was dreading the thought of going through all that again, but seeing Nick just cheatin' hitman his way through the crowd blew my mind like "whoa wtf, you... you can just... do that??"

sclpls Posted July 30, 2017 Bloodborne and Nick's playstyle didn't mesh. Also chat led him astray. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Smith Posted July 30, 2017 I guess if you became a patron and asked it as a ruination question he would be forced to answer, but I think part of it is he didn't like the streaming set-up via PS4. There seemed to be a lot of frustrations particularly with audio quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kyir Posted January 31, 2019 Nick is back to DS1 in true form! That is, the return of R1 to talk. (He did also do a bunch of parrying out of nowhere too.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
