Is Dark Souls worth starting? I realised I have Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition in my steam library (probably from my brother). Is this game worth starting or is it just a meme?

I heard one of the games was garbage but I don't know which one.
>>
It's the best one in the series and a genuinely great experience if you get into it properly and enjoy it.
>>
>>335894191
Alright man thanks. Any tips before I dive into it?
>>
>>335896261
Fuck off. Why are you asking this stupid question you baby? This question makes me so mad, why is everyone trying to spoil shit for them right off the bat?

>a-any tips guys, I didn't even s-start the game yet b-but give me tips

You utter disguting cum gurgling faggot, KILL YOURSELF BITCH.
>>
>>335896261
Get DSfix and unlock the FPS to 60 in the INI file.

Other than that you're set.

I didn't ask for any spoilers you fucking autist. I asked for tips on these type of games, I've never properly played a souls game.

Nice bait 2/10 - made me reply.
>>
>>335896261
The most important tip is don't rush or get cocky, if you're careful and methodical you won't die too much
>>
>>335896261
Depends on how much you know already. If you make it back where you previously died you can get your collected souls back, I'm not sure if this is even explained in the game since it's something I've always known about.

Pick any class, the only difference between characters is their starting stats. You can start with a mage and dual-wield claymores if you want or you can pick a knight and focus on miracles. Just go where your heart takes you.

At the start of the game as you leave Firelink Shrine if you find skeletons in a graveyard you're going the wrong way, turn the fuck around or you'll get roasted.

It's balls to the wall hard until you really know what you're doing and you learn how to make the most out of your attacks, learn how enemies behave etc. but it's rewarding as hell if you decide to stick with it, good luck Anon.

If it's a meme why did you buy it you double decker retard
>>
>>335896261
don't spoil any story or gameplay elements online. Do waht >>335896594 said and play the game. It's a genuinely great game and will make you appreciate all of the other games to come after it
>>
>>335896594
Doesn't this cause glitches to appear?
>>
>>335896594
Doesn't this fuck up weapon durability or something?
>>
>>335896867
That's 2.
>>
>>335896662
Oh did Edgar Allan poe tell you to post that after you sucked his Victorian esque cock?
>>
>>335896662
Bloodborne sucks
>>
>>335896594
Thanks I'll look into this.

>>335896809
Will do, definitely won't I've heard these games aren't easy.

>>335896814
Thanks, I'm usually shit with choosing classes in games, but this gives some relief. I'll probs pick something that hits hard I guess.
>>
>>335896809

And always watch out around corners!

>>335896830
Op stated it's his brother, learn to read before you post autist

>(probably from my brother)

nice reading skills faggot.

>>335896860
Yup, I'll avoid spoilers.
>>
>>335894130

We get the same thread every day. There should be a sticky that just says "yea homie give it a try"

Anyways, DS worth playing. Don't force yourself to like it. If you're 3 hours in and not having fun, drop that shit. Good luck yo

It makes sliding down ladders appear wonky (model isn't perfectly aligned), you can get killed by the drake in Undead Burg (when he first appears) and the hollow that kicks down the flaming barrel has a chance of killing himself

that's it

Pick knight, he has the coolest armor.
>>
>>335896923
actually, when that anon said unlock fps to 60, change the 60 in the ini file to 30, 60 fps gets pretty wonky at some areas but keeping it to 30 will keep it steady. also make sure that when you unhollow by bonfire, wait a few seconds before doing so or else you'll get glitch and sit at the bonfire forever.

>>335894130
>I'm too fucking retarded to form an opinion of my own
Try the game and see for yourself? It's playing videogames we're talking about, not like you're gonna waste your time any less
>>
>>335896261
Have fun
Use whatever weapon you like the most
Don't become a Metafag
Don't fall for the Difficulty meme
Don't use the wiki in your first playthrough
Fuck MinMaxing, just choose whatever you feel is good and roll with it

Congratulations, you have a true Dark Souls experience

Don't play it like any other RPG you've played before, playing it balls to the wall like Skyrim or something will wreck you; take your time and learn your enemies' movesets. DaS actually makes you work to git gud.

Also don't expect any spoonfeeding story-wise, you are on your own to figure that shit out, or at least play through the game once and THEN read lore threads.

Godspeed anon

>>335894130
it's good, though the 2nd and 3rd are bad.
Demon Souls is also great and Bloodborne is the best
