NasuLook, I like Dark Souls as much as the next guy but...
Been on a recent From Software binge playing through Bloodborne, DS3, Demon's Souls Remake etc. and I got a bone to pick with some of ya'll. Whatever hard game it is you're thinking about, no, it is not the "Dark Souls of-" anything. Hyped for Elden Ring tho
Also no, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is NOT a soulslike just cause the mf can DODGE ROLL.
And yes I know the Demon's Souls gameplay is from the PlayStation 5 remake, not the original. I don't have a ps3, let me live.

Twitter: twitter.com/nasuprime Twitch: twitch.tv/nasuprimeThe Absolute State of Anime Video GamesNasu2024-05-23 | Any anime fan has played at least one game based on an anime (probably an arena fighter). Be it Dragon Ball, Naruto, Bleach or One Piece. Anime and video games go hand in hand like... like uhh... uhh....
Twitter: twitter.com/nasuprime Twitch: twitch.tv/nasuprimeVideo Game Hand Holding and the Yellow Paint DiscourseNasu2024-03-02 | Yes, the allegations are true. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth does in fact feature yellow paint, and that's a problem... I think? It's more of what we saw last year when Resident Evil 4 Remake dropped, and history will certainly repeat itself the next time game developers dare to have anything yellow in their game. Truth is, everything from Pokémon to Dark Souls has yellow paint, but the yellowness of the paint varies heavily from game to game, y'know? You don't? Just watch the video bruh.
Twitter: twitter.com/nasuprime Twitch: twitch.tv/nasuprimeWhy I Dont Replay My Favorite GamesNasu2023-11-27 | Replay value is a bit silly innit. I never got the obsession with how many hours you can milk out of a video game. The more I like a game, the less likely I am to ever play it more than once. Even if I haven't platinumed it. And yes that does mean I despite every game I play replay often (Dark Souls included). Also play NieR: Automata, I ain't asking.
How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man??? Apparently about a dozen, cause that's how long it took Netflix to drop a halfway decent live action adaptation. They said it couldn't be done... it's me, I'm they. Live action will always be held back by the usual live action trappings, but Netflix's One Piece does a damn good job tap dancing around them.
Man who watches most of his anime subbed defends dubs. Saw the hate around the Oshi no Ko dub circulating not too long ago and got me wanting to discuss the age old dubbed vs subbed debate. "The English voices are cringe"? My brother in Haruhi you are watching ANIME. Cringe is a given.
Twitter: twitter.com/nasuprime Twitch: twitch.tv/nasuprimeSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is NOT an Incomplete FilmNasu2023-06-19 | Peak Marvel is back and it's got nothing to do with the MCU. Miles Morales swings back onto the big screen with the exaggerated swagger of a black teen and yes the movie is that good. It's also complete... y'know, lets talk about that.
Am I gonna force 18 more seconds into the video just to add mid roll ads? Nah... I'mma do my own thing.
Everyone loves to play their favorite video games... I mean they're "favorites" for a reason. But what if you could experience your favorites again.. remade. Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, Pokémon, Metal Gear, among other major titles. We've been seeing a LOT of remakes and remasters lately. Why is that. Is it all good? All bad? Let's talk about it. Spoiler alert, it's somewhere in the middle.
Game Freak make Pokemon game bad?? Well yes but actually no. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have come a long way from Pokémon Diamond Pearl and Platinum. A long way from Pokémon Ruby Sapphire and Emerald. One might even say a long way from Pokémon Red and Blue. Am I just trying to get as many keywords in as possible? Absolutely. Nintendo please don't strike my channel.

Aside from Spider-Man No Way Home, Black Panther 2 was my most anticipated film in Marvel Phase 4. It was a pretty good film, but instead of reviewing it, let's have a deeper discussion about race. Y'know, as one does with movies about comic book superheroes in clothes that are way too tight.
From Swiper the Fox, to Darth Vader, Thanos or even the guy from Fortnite. Everybody loves a good villain. And love them even more when they're spittin straight facts.
It’s about that time where I once again commit the cardinal sin of criticizing Hidetaka Miyazaki’s magnum opus. I know, I know. They said it couldn’t be done. This video is a lot more positive that the last because spoiler alert, I like the game half my videos have been about! Whereas the last vid focused on a particular weakness of the game, this one is more general and looks at the ups and down of all ER bosses, and the role that spirit ashes play.
Twitter: twitter.com/nasuprime Twitch: twitch.tv/nasuprimeWhy THAT She-Hulk Scene Was So ControversialNasu2022-09-05 | Late to the party but can you blame me. This wasn't really a show anyone was jumping out their seat to go watch. Marvel's Phase 4 gets more underwhelming with each new release, but I'll still give each show/movie a fair shake before passing judgement. This vid was made before episode 2 and 3 came out but not much has changed. Wanted to give my two cents that's hopefully a bit more nuanced than the "STOP WOKE, WOKE BAD" dialogue most people throw at everything MCU.
Twitter: twitter.com/nasuprime Twitch: twitch.tv/nasuprimeWhy Live Action Anime Will Never WorkNasu2022-08-08 | After Death Note and Cowboy Bebop (and Japanese releases like FMA, Bleach, and Mob Psycho) I don't know what possessed Netflix to think that a live action Yu Yu Hakusho adaptation would be a good idea but hey, here we are. While mildly optimistic, I think it's doomed to fail, here's why.
Twitter: twitter.com/nasuprime Twitch: twitch.tv/nasuprimeYou DONT Want Diversity | Ms Marvel and Miles MoralesNasu2022-07-25 | Like half the population, I've been following the Marvel Cinematic Universe for years now. Phase 4 has been pretty damn good at best (No Way Home) and unwatchable at worst (Eternals). I recently watched the newest MCU Disney+ series and uhhh have some thoughts. A video on the implications of media representation is actually an idea I've had since before starting my channel. Although it's a topic that relates to movies, shows, and video games alike, I didn't make the vid cause I didn't have a piece of media I wanted to talk about, but watching Ms. Marvel gave me some talking points and inspired me to act on the video idea. If you still reading, I got a new mic and am still kinda figuring it out but lmk how it sounds!
Twitter: twitter.com/nasuprime Twitch: twitch.tv/nasuprimeCan You Beat All Elden Ring Bosses in Alphabetical Order?Nasu2022-07-10 | A B C D E F G, I am losing my sanity. Oh boy, this took much longer than I expected it to. Editing this was truly the Dark Souls of video making. I don't intend to make challenge runs a regular thing, but maybe every once in a while if I have a unique idea. Video essays will remain the bread and butter, but I'll constantly be trying new things as well. More videos coming soon, hopefully new mic by then. Thank you for watching!
Also, for the two of you who read the description, I've made a twitter. Didn't bother mentioning it in the video cause I probably won't be active right now, but I plan to use it for updates as such in the near future and also YT has no means of direct contact: twitter.com/nasuprimeHow Elden Ring Ruined the Dark Souls Multi-Boss FightNasu2022-06-06 | After nonstop Miyazaki fellating its time I say some unironically negative things about Elden Ring. I know I know, I thought criticisms of this game were a myth too. If this video seems rushed that's because well... it was. It's been scripted for a month but life has been life-ing so little time to edit. Ran into some problems when recording footage, I apologize for the drop in video quality during the godskin duo section. Additional footage is from Shirrako and Boss Fight Database.Elden Ring | Become Vergil from Devil May CryNasu2022-04-17 | Vergil's portal opening days are in fact not over, and his latest portal takes everyone's favorite storm that is approaching to The Lands Between. From the moment I saw Glintblade Phalanx in the Elden Ring network test, I knew I was going for a full motivation build.
Back to our regularly scheduled video essays next week
That day, if our positions were switched... Would I have your motivation, and you mine? Did you know there's a Marvel vs Capcom 3 mod that gives Vergil his moveset from Devil May Cry 5? The best character in the game wasn't good enough. Not OP. "Lore accurate" if you will. Anyways, ya'll think Dante or Vergil used the player 1 controller when they were kids?Elden Ring Review But Im a Video Game JournalistNasu2022-04-10 | Coming out in 2022 after being announced in 1981 and scheduled for 2021, Elden Ring heavily rides on the coattails of its contemporaries such and The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. From Software tries to breathe new life into their tired Dark Souls formula by stealing from the ever popular format of open world, and fail horribly. Elder Bling is truly one of the games of all time.Elden Ring and Playing Souls Games the WRONG WayNasu2022-02-22 | ELDEN RING HYPE
Although Dark Souls Bloodborne and Sekiro are all undoubtedly built on the same foundation, they all bring their own unique qualities to the table. Which is something that I believe shouldn't be forgotten going into Elden Ring. 2 MORE DAYS.
