I'm replaying them and so far I think it's:

Dark Souls >= Bloodborne > Dark Souls 3 >= Dark Souls 2

I haven't played Demon Souls or Sekiro though.

Elden Ring ofc

Sekiro is sort of the answer to Souls in many regards. Its very different no matter how you spin it.

Right now? Your best bet is gonna be the Demons Souls remake. Its the same game we all love, with a new coat of paint. Bloodborne is an absolute masterpiece & quickly became one of the only real classics to surface out of last generation. Its one of the best games of all time. If youre gonna play Dark Souls, you really need to do the trilogy in order to get the right experience. You can also try playing it backwards, or just pop in discs until 1 clicks, but without all 3 games, you wont be up to snuff on certain things.

Inarguably tho, the best Soulsborne are the original Dark Souls & Bloodborne.

but theyre all very different beasts. These games arent like Call of Duty. Going between each of them is more like going from God of War 3 to Dad of War to DMC5. Very different games

Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne are my favorite.

But there are also very good clones out there. So if you're from bored of software games, you should look elsewhere.

(I legitimately have never played another game that tried to do what STabyss does. Mixing Swords, Guns, and Magic in first-person with a dismemberment mechanic against basically cannon fodder enemies. Like omg. Blasting off the bird-dudes wings. Chopping off some zombie pygmys head and it still keeps coming at you. At the end, dismembering the swordsmans arms and they drop their weapons. Like wow.)

Equipment:
  • Face: Gas Mask
  • Armor: Bulletproof Vest
  • Arms: Medieval Knight Plate Armor
  • Legs: Ronin Samurai
  • Accessory: Ankh
  • Righthand: 1800s Rapier
  • Lefthand: AK-47
  • Offhand: Combat Knife
  • Magic: Fireball


You cant ask for a better gimmick than that, man. You cant. You really cant.

The actual tower area shook my house with the bass that area produces.

The detractors for 2 have enough ammo to deny facts & shift hearts.

Im done with that line of thought altogether

If we include Sekiro, then Sekiro
Otherwise it depends on if we're to include the amount of glitches/buggy gameplay: Dark Souls 2 (SotFS only) > DS1 > DS3 > BB > DS2 (double durability use bug)

It just blows my mind to be asked to put 2 under a microscope & deny that 1 has exactly the same thing going on for it. Gameplay aside,

Whats at the bottom of the scenery in Anor Londo? Nothing. A blank texture.

Whats in Izalith? The exact same lava-vein texture repeated everywhere.

What happens when you exit Valley of the Drakes into Blighttown? The lighting engine punches you in the face.

Whats the first thing you see in the game? A very warped character creator implemented egregiously wrongly in-game.

Whats the second thing you see? A set of double doors with the texture flipped into unnecessary quadrants. Lol chaos war god king

Have you ever wondered how Tomb of the Giants formed? Cuz that aint natural. Have you ever stopped to look around Great Hollow? Its ugly.

Undead Burg. Oh my god. Fake houses. Misshapen doors hidden as Easter eggs. Abandoned mechanics.

Dont get me started on the rag doll & clipping.

Belfry Gargoyle on the Anor Londo elevator. Why not.

The bannisters and the bollocks required to get through Anor Londo. The Silver Knight archers. like wow

Small Blue Dragons in the Valley of Drakes are literally the technically worst thing Souls has ever tried to do. Lol.

I think he thought the game was gonna be a failure. And they threw out DaS2 not caring whether it did or not.

personally, I feel like the only things holding DS2, for me, is the lack of polish that I feel is more apparent in the other games, and the (relatively) easier bosses.

besides those issues, I feel like I'd prefer it to DaS, at least.

Bloodborne.

Close second is DkS3. DkS3 is underrated coming so close on the heels of Bloodborne though.

Bloodborne was really open and accessible to everyone willing to learn though. Those early days and that early board was awesome.

The coop just great. I remember posting "I'm on, Set level, area and pw as "gamefaqs" on Fridays.

Good times were had.
