You cheated not only the game, but yourself. You didn't grow. You didn't improve...

It’s easier than most people say
>climb down a few ladders, aggro the big guys while you’re a high platform so they try and chase you and fall off ledge
>bait enemies one at a time
>jump across ramparts to get katana
>walk to bonfire
>bait fire dogs
>drop down into tunnel entrance
>1v1 fatty and then kill tunnel worm from safe spot
>drop down into swamp
>head right until bonfire
Easy run

Still got the achievements on my account anyway fuccboi

if u leveled up u didnt really beaten the game...

But not in your heart.

it was never hard by itself
the real issue was that the original console and PC releases had AWFUL lag spikes in Blighttown

git gud noob

Response.

Nearly did a spit take of soda all over my monitor. Fuck you, OP for posting this and almost making me laugh.

Yeah, I probably only died there 2-3 times because of my own stupidity on my way to the bottom bonfire.

Everyone knows the actual hardest area is The Great Hollow.

The swamp in Demon's Souls was way worse, Blight town was a cakewalk in comparison

I have to admit, I like this new meme a lot.

Fighting BP Selen is actually unfair.

>this is what soulsfags actually beliieve

Good one david

It's hard only because of the bad framerate. Anything else is retards being bad

Damn, this really made me think. I'm sure in 30 years I'll suddenly feel tremendous guilt that I didn't beat blighttown or whatever legit.

I guess so Mr. Defensive

Should've made your OP pic the master key item description instead of that blurry ass pic of the back door to Blighttown.

It's easy. It's just very laggy, ugly, and unfun so people will naturally hate it. It has the best boss in the game though.

blighttown is just annoying because of the terrible camera angles when locking on with enemies
nothing really difficult, it's just annoying as hell when you can't see anything because the camera is stuck in the stick platform above

>Should have used this thing that doesn't fit at all instead of the thing that does.
?

What exactly is OP saying that I cheated at?

Not my fault they allowed me to have the key from the start in order to skip the objectively worst area in the entirety of the souls series

In the video game Dark Souls released by From Software in 2010, there is an infamous area known as Blighttown. You can skip most of it by going through the back entrance.

>Am I the only one
Stop attention seeking faggot.
You're not special, you are never the only one.

But I didn't do that. Who the fuck actually skips content.

Are you on the autism spectrum?

I'm not trying to be mean, I'm genuinely curious.

Obviously you own the game. It would have taken you 5 minutes at most to load up DaS and take a screenshot of the area.

Do you care so little about the aesthetics of your post?

>Start game
>Leave bonfire
>Pick up zweihander
>Credits roll.

If it's shit content, then it deserves skipping.

Casual

I hay the fact that when I was a teenager I always cheesed dark souls instead of playing the game properly

git gud zoomer

>If you don't find my inferior version of the same joke funny then you have autism
Yea Forums messes with your brain.

nobody does this, all i ever hear is tryhards bitching about other people playing the game they want despite making 0 difference on their experience

Could you seriously imagine even considering getting mad at how someone else plays a
single player game?

Yeah.

Gaming skills are not transferrable to real life. If you're actually working hard to get better at a game, instead of just having fun, you are a huge idiot.

This is the same person who would cry if I made a thread praising a AAA game.

I don't get this meme, is he wrong because people keep repeating it?

Being unimpressed isn't the same thing as anger cuck.

There was literally an article written by a journalist bragging about how he cheated to beat a game.

You can cheat in single player games but don't brag about it like you're somehow better than people who di- oh wait.

Stand in front of a mirror and say it aloud to yourself if you're having trouble seeing it I suppose.

I felt that way after beating Demon's Souls (my first Souls game) abusing magic. Over the years I've gone back and beaten it at least 7 or 8 times with a variety of builds.

>i'm not angry i'm just unimpressed... YOU KEK

you sound very level headed

You sound very desperate for (you) s

I've played through DS1, 2, 3 and Bloodborne 7+ times each and Sekiro once, and I've still never done Blight Town the standard way.

Same here, except with Nito's Cave.
That jump skip is the best thing since sliced bread.

>Gaming skills are not transferrable to real life
training your brain and hand eye coordination is beneficial every time

you sound like you got proven wrong and have nothing left to say

Maybe it's a little cringey but he's not wrong, people are making it seem like he cares too much but they cared so much that they felt the need to cheat to beat the game

You can't prove an opinion wrong faggot.

Go do it. Going to The Depths, fighting the Gaping Dragon, and then entering Blighttown via The Depths all while being weak in the beginning of a playthrough is a really unique experience.

lmfao at all the Yea Forums autists who think beating a game dark souls or sekiro or whatever makes them a better person. you're not, and nobody outside of Yea Forums and even most of Yea Forums doesn't give a shit about your mediocre "accomplishment"

if you want self-improvement go finish a book you absolute bottom of the barrel dipshit

Defensive.

>Waah, you altered a game you own and paid for and played it the way you wanted to play it, because it's your property to do with as you so choose
Fuck people that feel the need to make articles about it, and fuck people that think they've legitimately beaten the game.

but the Master Key doesn't let you skip the entirety of Dark Souls 2

bitch, not only have i beat every fromsoft game, i've beat games with waaaaay lower completion rates. games where you can't just bash your head against the same encounter infinity times until you finally get through.

your mediocrity doesn't threaten me, its just disgusting how much you guys care about such meaningless accomplishments, even within the already meaningless sphere of vidya

So defensive, so angry.

k, say hi to your mom for me

whats wrong champ too hard? git gud

def

>lol video games are meaningless I don't care! just to prove how little I care I cheated because I couldn't beat it normally!
whatever you say fren

>cheated
i don't work for kotaku. are you illiterate or just projecting?

If you haven't played through all of the Souls games, I really don't think you're a real gamer. I find it hard to believe that somebody could not like them, but still claim to like playing video games. Souls games have something for everybody. Even if you aren't the most serious person around, I can imagine even dweebs and girls liking Souls because you can create a character, roleplay, and co-op.

You obviously know nothing about girls.

be honest, you're on the spectrum aren't you

>a hollow victory
Surely he knew what he was saying? He couldn't have accidentally made a hollow reference in a tweet about another Fromsoft game, could he? He seems super oblivious tho.

How come this UI looks way better than Sekiros

seething

hmmmm, what's the matter, haven't beaten Dark Souls yet? :>

I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed

You're making it sound like people are making fun of that journo because beating Sekiro legit would've been some kind of huge accomplishment and improved him IRL or some shit. You're allowed to cheat past legit challenges all you want like a little pussy ass faggot but don't write an article and tweet about it and expect to not get called a bitch, bitch.

Attached: 1554460264666.jpg (1024x578, 47K)

I giggled, thanks user

I don’t think beating Sekiro makes me a better person. But I think people who refuse to challenge themselves and take the easy way out only do themselves a disservice.

You seem to care a loooot more than anyone else my friend

cuz sekiro is trash

You can put ketchup on a $100 steak if you want. But if you brag about it I’m gonna call you a retard for ruining a good steak

I missed the bonfire at the bottom and had a very tense 5 minutes before getting shitfucked

PC release never had bad FPS in Blighttown. It played like a charm.

This, but unironically.

t. didn't play dark souls 1 at launch on regulation 1.2

I agree I just started playing Bloodborne and I felt disappointed how easy it was to beat Amelia with Henriett on the first try, I'll do her legit next time

I'm more surprised no one bitched about tomb of the giants, that whole place can go fuck itself

youtube.com/watch?v=_BBuGdBJThg

Completed it in two separate runs until I found about the shortcut.
Still don't use it cause there's a bit of gear I like to pick up there.
You're still an obnoxious elitist though.

if the devs let you skip it they know it sucks dick
:dab:

That same journalist then wrote a guide for the game he cheated on.

The only fucked part about blight town is the fucking blow dart dildos. Everything else is standard darksouls.

Reminder that these threads are spam.
Do your duty to help eliminate them from the board.

This. A Smash thread died for this...

Unironically based. No one gives two fucking shits. I'd use a fucking trainer if I wanted to. Not a single Yea Forumsermin can stop me.

Nah, I do SL1 runs every boss NG and beyond all the time.

if no one gives two fucking shits, then why was the original Sekiro article author so fucking proud of beating the game with a trainer?
if nobody gives a fuck about people who do it right, that goes fucking double for people who use cheats to do it.

gets it

I have literally not fought the Gaping Dragon in YEARS. I never go through the Sewers and haven't since fucking 2011.

Its almost been a decade move on user.
