What actual Souls game should I get? Bloodborne is great
>>344129131
no matter what anyone says, don't get 2
Don't get any, they're all trash
>>344129131
I'd recommend either starting with either DeS or DaS1 and then going through them in order, maybe skipping 2 depending on whether you enjoy the first few hours or not.
However DaS3 has a lot of similarities in gameplay and aesthetic to Bloodborne so you might want to go straight to that.
>>344129131
Dark Souls 2 has the best variety of builds and weapons in the souls series + vessels that allow you to relocate your stats so if you like to build characters this is the game for you.
>>344129131
Skip II.
It's too good for you, you wouldn't understand it and would just join the shitposting horde.
>>344129131
All of them should be feasible to buy. If you want something more free flowing like BB, get DaS3 next. The older the game, the clunkier it will feel.
I'd try out Dark Souls 1 on whatever system you have. I wouldn't say it's the easiest, but I think it's the easiest to get into. The DLC is pretty good too. If you don't want to do the whole series, you should at least try out Demon's Souls as well.
Dark souls 2 is great and in some ways the best game in the series
>>344131621
Any particular reason? I'm not disagreeing, I'm just curious why you think that.
>>344129131
Buy SotFS first. Then you can play the others.
>>344129131
DeS > DaS > DaS2 > DaS3
If you start with DaS2 or DaS3, DeS/DaS may be "too slow" for you to enjoy.
>>344131621
Agreed, which is why he should save it towards the end so he can appreciate it for what it is.
>>344131621
Played BB, DaS3, then DaS2 SotFS. 2 just felt like everything was too weak and easy, and none of the bosses ended up feeling that memorable to me. It felt like the game consisted of a shit ton of mid bosses more than actual bosses.
Don't get me wrong though, I've loved all 3 games so far, and I will get to DaS soon. Hopefully DaS is harder than DaS2. Slow movement with hard fights is the reason I liked MH3U on the Wii U, and part of many reasons I hated MH4U on the 3DS.
>>344133305
Should have played on the Covenant of the Champions, senpai.
>>344133817
Patterns are more important than making things into HP sponges. If their pattern is easy, increasing their HP is meaningless.
Get Salt & Sanctuary it is everything that is good about series combined with faster combat and more options for exploring.
>>344134385
Heard too many drawbacks, so I'm waiting till it is at least 50% off.
>>344134360
It increases your damage taken as well. Though I agree a lot of the bosses were easy even on Covenant.
Some of them gave me a good run though, IE Fume and Charred Ivory King.
>>344129131
If you like good design and level aesthetics and can't stand constant artificial difficulty and boring, slow-paced boss fights, skip 2.
If you, like build variety, balanced PVP, character customization, reallocating stats, and basically a lot to like from an MMORPG, then get 2.
As someone who played the series in order starting from Demon's Souls back in the summer of 2010, I personally did not like 2, but there is a reason many on /v/ will either say 2 is the best game in the series or the worst game. It's up to to weigh the odds here.
>>344133305
>2 just felt like everything was too weak and easy,
That's funny coming from someone who finished DaS3 beforehand.
>>344129131
if you love BB and never played another souls game start with 3
it's BB with DS1 slapped on top.
If you want to play a good souls game, play DS1.
And if you hate yourself and everything you ever loved about the franchise, play DS2
>>344135326
>DeS not even worth any mention
Nigger
>>344129131
>>344131621
I played Dark Souls 2 last. DeS>>DaS>>BB>>DaS3>>Da2
While Dark Souls 2 has many more boss fights than the others, I feel like that game has the least interesting fights overall. For me it's all about the bosses. A ton of the bosses feel like mini-bosses and until I played the DLC, I never got a real satisfying fight. All the good fights were in the DLC and even then there were only about 3, that left me breath-taken. Many of the swordsman fights feel slow and with these weird delays. I felt like I lost fights more due to just getting impatient and bored which made me make a mistake. I got so used to faster rolls, the slightly slower ones feel so awkward now.
>>344129325
Well yeah.
If he liked BB then DaS2 isn't really going to have anything he wants regardless of its' quality.
The game is slower and stiffer than any game in the series I think.
The level design is more linear outside of the DLCs and maybe one or two levels.
The PvP is good aside from the matchmaking and the build variety is significantly better. That's about it.
>>344135093
>artificial difficulty
>>344129131
Everything, the references to earlier games from later games are great
Get Dark Souls 1, 2 is Optional, and 3.
I don't have BB or DeS, but go for them if you want.
BB>DS2>DS3>DaS>DeS
That's how it is, and anyone else is either a conformist or a pleb
*I didn't read that you had BB
I'm not autistic I swear
>>344134385
>2D
>More options
I played just 1 and having started DaS2 I hate it.
Perhaps it gets better later
>>344136148
Throne Watcher and Defender was kind of artificial difficulty, from my perspective. So were mob-type bosses. By artificial, I mean they encouraged me to play in avery conservative, defensive style which I hate, so I just tired of playing that way and would wail on the bosses making me die. So yeah, to me that's artificial. I could beat them if I played the game the way they wanted me to, but I hate slow, defensive play.
>>344137737
>my opinion is a fact! If you dont agree, your retarded
I can tell your trying to get (You)s
Play das2 if you like pvp, das1 if you hate it.
>>344137978
It's not really artificial difficulty if you get impatient, it just means the game is overly restrictive by putting you against multiple paired enemies with similiar attack timings, forcing you to wait for synced openings.
I can only really think of throne watcher and defender being a case where this couldn't be avoided in some way though.
Even for gank squad the arena let you seperate them even if they were complete ass to fight.
>>344137879
It never got better for me, not even in the DLC
>>344129325
Dark Souls 2 is THAT bad, it's a decent 6 out of 10.
Has the best fashion too.
All of them, but DS2 has the lowest priority by far.
When it comes to "essentialness", I'd say DeS>BB=DaS>power gap>DS3>DS2
I fucking hate this new horde of morons fans of souls.
DS2 is the best cuz it has the larger number of builds in the franchise!!!! And it has the better PVP too!!!!
Come on fucking cunts, that's not what this games are about, if you analize a souls only by the number of "builds" and the shitty pvp then you are retarded, get out of the souls community.
Dark Souls 2 is mediocre as souls and and mediocre as game.
>>344129131
Play DaSIII first, it's by far the easiest of the series.
>>344129131
Demon's is best. Dark Souls 2 is rubbish.
DaS2 > DaS > BB > DaS3 > DeS
Each one has their merits.
DaS2 has consistent late-game matchmaking.
DaS has the best first half of series.
BB combat plays completely differently than the others.
DaS3 implemented covenants the best.
DeS was the first.
all 3 games are good.
ds 1 had great lore and memorable bosses and awesome level design
ds 2 had the best pvp
ds 3 wraps everything up nicely except pvp
BB > DaS > DeS = DaSIII > DaSII
>>344129131
Bloodborne isn't a souls game.

Play Dark Souls 1&3, can't Dieu on Demon Souls. Only play 2 when you haven't played a Souls style game for a very long time.

demons 1 and 2. Not sure about 3 wait for the dlc.
>>344139631
>ds 2 had the best pvp
And the best item/build variety and probably the best sound design.The ambient sounds in some areas a simply superb.
>>344143036
He is right. Bloodborn is not a souls game. There is no dark,there is no chaos,it is completely removed from the souls mythos.
>>344144525
nah best sound design goes to bloodborne. but if you want to stick with souls only than my vote goes for dark souls 1
>>344145541
You have shit taste and probably mistake soundtrack for sound design.
To be expected from a console player really.
>>344144182
>Not sure about 3 wait for the dlc.
I agree. DaS 3 right now is a meh game.
>>344129131
Simple tip, avoid numbered sequels, at best they are competent but lack that spark and unknown quality that makes exploring these games enjoyable.
>>344129131
Just play all of them in release order. They're all great at different degrees.
Dark Souls 2 is definitely the weakest but still worth playing it even if it's just to see how and why it was disappointing. The DLC is excellent though.

>More builds=Replay value.
Lol no, when a game is really good, you will replay it even if it has 1 fucking build. Games are about the experience, if the experience is good, you will want to replay it, that's it.
Will you replay a shit game only because it has replay value based on builds? That's simply retarded.
More builds=Worst game experience=Worst game. Devs can't make a game like this balanced for tons of different character gameplays. At the end what you got is a unbalanced broken mess with poor game desing.

>>344147167
I know it's bait, but just to be informative to other people that is interested in the franchise, Dark Souls 2, despite still being a pretty good game, has a really lazy and mediocre boss, enemy and level design throughout the entire original game (excluding the DLCs, which is very good).
The game is great at build variety that specially shines at PvP, but the replayability is seriously hurt because of how bland the PvE is in repeated playthroughs. Still worth playing though.
>>344145746
I've completed the game like 15 times and I never saw that hidden area.

DaS 3 feels clunky too.I don't know why.There is something off with it.
>>344148047
Probably because you think DaS 2 is smooth and totally not clunky at all
How come the music in BB sounds so much better than the other titles? I don't mean like "BB has the best tracks in all the games", more like "Why does BB tracks sound so much more crisp?". Don't get me wrong, I actually like DS3 the most out of the series.

>>344147538
Hardest main game is contentious, really depends on the order you played them and your playstyle.
But Bloodborne is without a doubt the most difficult if you intend to fight every boss, let alone farm for endgame gems. Nothing in any of the other games compares to a Depth 5 FRC Chalice Dungeon. It's about the equivilent of NG+5/6 in terms of health/damage scaling on enemies, but with additional modifiers and buffs as well as permenent half health.
>>344149529
>2015+1
>still can't handle hexes
>>344149543
My problem is that it actually feels like a tutorial, not like the beginning of your adventure, in DaS you are escaping a prison, while simultaneously learning the controls and basics of play, is DaS 3 you're awakening from death and starting your journey, while simultaneously learning the controls and basics of gameplay, In DaS 2 there's no boss, it feels like a disconnected area, separate from the rest of the game, in a bad way at least that's my opinion
>>344149724

> Bloodborne has a mechanic to partially regenerate the health you lost from your most recent hit by quickly attacking. If miss-timed it can go horribly wrong and you'll get obliterated by 1.88 multiplier on damage taken because you got hit whilst in the middle of an attack.

Hmm, I wonder which is more casual?you're an idiot because harder does not mean better, BB has the hardest content in the series and it's near universally hated. Regain is a good mechanic that works well and encourages more risk/reward play. The same way Dark Souls rewards patience and carefully planning each hit. Both are good and work well for their respective game.
Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne are all essential.
Dark Souls 2 is boring rushed garbage and Dark Souls 3 is just a rehash with 1 but with the difficulty insultingly toned down and the world feeling FF13 tier linear.
>>344151028

the outcome yes might be worse depending on taste but it had its values

>>344159804
>They tried to destroy twinking in DaS2 by adding soul memory and the fanbase threw a fit
You can still twink.In vanilla you could twink for a limited time on the same spot bu now with the agape ring you can twink forever.
>>344160241
>twink forever
Shit breaks when you least expect it, son, specially on PC. Some dickface may use a modded weapon to break all of your armor/rings. Also, if you use some sort of consumable or ammunition, you'll need to buy more, so eventually you'll advance SM brackets
Only DaS1 and 3 really allow you to twink forever, hard and pointless as it is in 3

So far I only encountered one in the BoB arena. Had the timing down perfectly in the mastodon halberd, so I guess the guy got fucking angry, switched over to a morningstar, hit me through iframes and killed me in that single hit, all of my armor and rings broken
They're not part of the game, but it can happen to you. Repairs cost souls, and that will get you over the SM edge. Even if you don't find hackers, people can use corrosive urns, environment and acidic clouds against you
>>344160401
Shut the fuck up trash
>>344146989
Nah. It's a great game, so is DS3. Bloodborne is still not a souls game, though.
>>344161532
I didn't mean the agape ring itself breaking, but everything else, and the souls you have to spend repairing it
>>344161548
see this
>>344161532
500 durability will take a ton of corrosive urns and you can farm repair powder beforehand if you don't want to spend souls.
Or did you forget that you can farm repair powder with the Champions Covenant?

As long as the Agape ring is fine you can farm repair powder while in the champions covenant with some random weapon you have if you didn't have a backup weapon.
I have over 500 hours in Dark Souls 2 so lets assume that i know what i am talking about.

And what fucking good is repair powder if it won't work on already broken equipment? You don't exactly get all of the time in the world during a fight to use it
>>344137737
this pretty much, atleast until DS3 gets its dlcs

Are you telling me that you can't pop a repair powder by the time someone throws 6 or more corrosive urns on you(depending on your equipment)?
Just stop.Dark Souls 2 is probably the most mechanically sound souls game right now.

What's a greatsword guy throwing you into an acid pit in tomb of saints?
What's being trapped in a similar way inside an acid cloud?
What's cheatengined weapons?
I'm not saying the way to twink or fix your character in a SM bracket right now is all that bad. I'm saying it doesn't last forever when shit lines up against you
play demons souls first, you might not like it or enjoy it as much if you play dark souls first then go back to that
dark souls is my favorite souls game though
>>344158214
Firelink should be connected to bell 2, you can kill quelaag before gargoyles
>>344163031
So you simply go and twink on a higher SM level.The amount of random that has to happen at the same time for you to get bumped up the SM ladder is astronomical.
I've been twinking for some time now and i might even move up the SM ladder by myself since there are a lot less people with low SM nowerdays.
Anyone dislike BB and DaS3? BB has an awesome setting but I prefer the slower pace of DaS 1+2.
>>344163658
Feels pretty comfy on the 3M-5M range. Plenty of activity in most areas that aren't a rush-through at least, and seems like it's the last range before the havelflipping hexer katana users

I am at 128k right now since i messed up my twinking build a little. Could've been lower but i decided to change my main weapon so i am a few thousand souls above my perfect build.
I need to git good again since farming in the red arena is a pain especially with all those people millions of souls above me.
>>344164148
>>if you like bloodborne the best you simply must be a console warring child
Thats exactly what it means.
Get 3 now because the co-operative and pvp elements are great parts of the game and 3 has the most currently. One is the best tho
>>344129131
All of them, duh.
>>344163940
BB would be so much better if they took out the superfluous mechanics like stamina and durability and instead made a full blown action game.
Demon's Souls had the perfect pacing imo.
BB is the only good Souls game

Are DaS 1 servers still down?
>>344165805
not even him, all he did was post ordered lists and you instantly go "waah muh sonyggers everything is childish pretend battles on the internet" despite the fact that he also put DeS last. You don't need to be such a salty faggot that you think anyone who likes Bloodborne has some epic hidden agenda
Don't get das 1, it aged like shit
>>344166605
>game from fucking 2011

>>344129131
DaS was genuinely fun, decent lore and mystery Co-op was pretty nice because of how you had to heal meaning it didn't cheese as effectively, PvP was just a circling backstab awkward shitfest but was still fun. If you want to play with your freinds you need 2 mods, if you want 60FPS and decent anti jaggies you need another. Bosses are challenging and NG+ was a good increase on difficulty, parries are a mix of reactive and instinctive and the covenants are pretty alright. Years later it's still enjoyable to play.
DaS2 is slow. Really fucking slow. Parries are more instinctive, you move slower, enemies move slower, attacks are at the speed of snail + it's weeb as shit. PvP was better but there were so many troll builds, and those periods where you could heal in arena were uh.. interesting. Also Hexes needed the nerfs. There is a lot of love put into this game from From, from the invisible hollows to the boars by the "hub" area. Lots of secrets and just fun things.
DaS3 is the best in my opinion for PvE content, it flows extremely well playing with your friends is a dream. NG+ is a little disappointing and the game is mostly fair. Now there are some bullshit areas with enemies being able to do 360s with perfect tracking meaning you need to learn to dodge a bit later but you'll be fine. PvP is broken. Not that it's unbalanced but good luck invading a world that isn't a constant 3v1, with each phantom having the same healing potential as you + host healing and no penalty to summoning as soon as you kill one, meaning if the host can sprint away and summon you will have to deal with the summon as well. There is a reason most people invade with hornet/leo rings so they can one shot phantoms with the easy parries. But my biggest complaint about DaS3 is how easy the bosses are, you will probably die to mobs four times as often as bosses. Also broken covenants.
Also stay away from Reddit, they think every tech and every weapon in the game is OP and broken.

> "waah muh sonyggers everything is childish pretend battles on the internet"
All I said was "Toxic fanbase", but nice strawman though. It shows how much ass hurt you are and how much of a toxic fanbase you are.
>>344129131
Get Das1, then play das3.
DAS3 is the most fun mostly because of bloodborne mechanics and nostalgia/references to Das1
>>344166942
you said that simply because he said Bloodborne was his favorite, and then clarified that I was right in assuming what you meant here >>344165006
you are a faggot, plain and simple
>>344134385
>le 2D retro graphics souls game xD
Loving every laugh @ you
>>344134385
plus it has a disgusting artstyle, shit combat, shit bosses, shit armor design and not a single thing about it is original
>>344129131
It's almost always good to start a series in chronological order, so I'd suggest Demon's followed by DaS 1, 2, and 3. The controls aren't that bad at all, I went back and replayed DaS1 during the global reset and didn't find them too slow or clunky coming straight from 3, so you'll be fine.
Whatever you do, play all of the DLC. It's the best part of the souls series with some memorable areas and challenging bosses.
>>344129131
DeS is nearly identical to BB, so I'd start with that and work your way up
>>344139217
>Oceiros not a 3

>>344167932

what?

old demon king didnt even hit me, he just stood there and died like a bitch.
>>344168139
Blood vials are more similar to grass than to estus flasks
Both games have you spawn into the worlds via stones, and in both BB and DeS the central hub can only be accessed via warping in, unlike in dark souls
Both games have an NPC that kills NPCs in your hub if you rescue him

Here fixed it for you.
DaS3 has the potential to become best once the DLCs are out.
BB base game really suffered from the lack of variety a lot, the DLC almost entirely fixed this.
>>344129131
They are all good games, but Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne are the best, followed by Demon's, followed by Dark Souls 3, followed by Dark Souls 2. Dark Souls 2 is still worth playing, and play Dark Souls 1 through 3 in order because otherwise you'll be missing out on a fuckton of easter eggs and throwbacks and you won't appreciate the games as much.
>>344169116

i agree with everything else but this. ds1's dlcs had meh level design and good bosses, thats it. at least ds2's had both good levels and bosses.

This honestly has to be some of the pettiest-sounding, childish, deluded, cringe drivel I've ever seen on this board.
Whoever wrote this shit is so embarrassingly feisty about anyone who criticises DS2/plays games on a console that I'm now going to assume all DS2 players are undisciplined 14 year olds.Sorry to anyone who isn't an asshole
You will be disappointed by all of them after playing Bloodborne.

>>344168808
eh, BB is a DaS style world with DaS style warping just with a hub, and the NPC kills people in the chapel, not the hub. DaS does have an NPC killer in the closest thing it has to a hub.
Blood Vials are more like grass, but there is a limit to how much you get like estus.
>>344169447
Well it's labeled WITH DLC.
If we would rate the DLC only then you are right.
Oolacile is one of the best areas though.
And Sunken Crown was shit besides Sinh, the other 2 DLCs were great. Especially Iron Crown. Might be one of my favorite areas in the series.
When I think about it I probably would rate DaS2 higher than DeS only because of this area.
>>344169447
DaS2 had good DLC, but that doesn't change the fact that everything else the game had to offer was trash tier compared to DaS1.
>>344169484
that's because they are, dark souls 2 fans are generally children who aren't very good at critical thinking yet, but DaS II was their first souls and probably the first game besides cod/madden/halo that they ever played so it's just the best game ever.
>>344149463
Fuck off, I bought the SotFS because of how everyone was praising it now that 3 is out and it's a fucking neverending quest of boredom with repetitive trashes for bosses.
>>344164019
this is the best and most underrated track
>>344170124
the problem with ivory and sunken king is that they feel like fans took complete areas that didn't have any enemies or bosses and added enemies and bosses to them. The areas are fucking great and well designed but the enemies are generic dog shit and the bosses suck balls.
The only great DaS II DLC is Iron King, it has good, unique level design, some good unique enemies, and great bosses.
>>344170124
>Oolacile was one of the best areas
post arty right? right before him it was just a flat open plain. post was good, pre was meh.

whats wrong with it? it has multiple loops, secrets, and good vertical design. brume is my favorite though.

I agree , but /v/ is just meme spouting faggots and everytime someone says that Dark Souls 2 was good, you get called a troll or an idiot.
From what I have traced so far, Dusk is technically the mother of the abyss girls right?Was it rape?

Yes post Artorias I mean.

Well you are right like >>344170731 said, the level design was alright but the fucking boring enemies and also the enemy placement was ass so I disliked it as a whole.
