Dark Souls II Seems Like The Kind of Game Werner Herzog Would Love

A video game where a brutal, indifferent cosmology smacks players around. A director obsessed with the darker parts of man's nature. A match made in purgatory! Now we don't have to imagine what the acclaimed filmmaker would think of Dark Souls II. We can hear that tremulous voice praise the sun right now.

This tongue-in-cheek Let's Play vid comes courtesy of Robert Florence. It's reminiscent of Grizzly Man, arguably Herzog's most famous movie, which chronicles the life of environmental activist Timothy Treadwell. If you're familiar with Herzog's work, you won't be able to stop laughing. "For surely, this is where we all will head. We will all become bones such as these." Indeed, Fake Herzog. Indeed.
