I originally intended to make a somewhat shitpost with the "They Don't Stop Coming" remix song where it just loops that part of the song with these Dark Souls: Remastered Network Test clips. However, as I was working on my much more time consuming DS3 SL 802 video and wanting to take a break from that while still experimenting with a few effects I considered a somewhat more serious approach for this video. When I was making song considerations I had the song by Charbeats in my playlist and thought it was very fitting for a DS1 montage so I changed plans (hence the unintended delay).
My thoughts on the Remaster are very much in line with what I expected and as such not really worth $40 for me, especially considering that back in the day I spent $80 on the collector's edition and another ~$15-20 on the Artorias of the Abyss DLC (Dark Souls 1 has taken enough of my money already). Although I didn't really delve into Dark Souls PVP seriously until DS3 I don't think I am missing much by not visiting DS:R at launch. That being said I still am interested in playing the game in 4K resolution so if I find it later on at a highly discounted price I'll likely get it then.
In terms of PVP balance, I think the video speaks for itself but it is my opinion that backstabs are way too easy to get in the original Dark Souls. I didn't even use the parry cancel chaining tech that pretty much guarantees another backstab at wakeup either (although I did try to do so for a little while at some point). Each clip in this video is a unique backstab/parry/etc, there are over 100 full clips in the video, they all have backstabs in them, and are an invasion I won (I don't use clips of lost invasions unless I was impressed by the opponent or if itβs to display the loss for video tension/comedy/etc). In actually going through all the invasion clips I got, all gathered during a livestream on my Twitch channel, I found that I actually only had 10 clips where I didn't get a backstab. I am not the best at pivots either, those who are will certainly gank spank with tremendous ease.
And for anyone who might ask, this was on the PS4 version of the network test running on a PS4 Pro.
