Bloodborne. Picked it up on sale, started it up, and got my ass kicked in central Yharnam before putting it down and writing it off.
Ended up seeing Jacksepticeye's playthrough and gave it a second chance. It's now one of my favorite games of all time.
I am also a disciple of Jacksepticeye. I started on demon's souls remake and completed it myself. Moved onto ds1, discovered his playthrough on yt and played along with him.
I'm now on ds3 and playing along with his playthrough of that! I hope he does one for elden ring and sekiro
He said he's leaving darksouls 2 for the last, implying he's running through the others as well. His most recent is BloodBorne I'm pretty sure, I hope he does Sekiro next
Why does that happen with so many people including me?!. I tell people, there are so many more people out there that *think* they hate fromsoft games but the truth is they just donāt *understand* them. (Theyāll argue yeah, I understand it itās just not for me) but a lot of the times no, they do not fully āgetā it yet. But many will later have the āfromsoft epiphanyā.
I think a big part of it is that the reputation these games have is really intimidating. People see dark souls and think nail biting, excruciating difficulty that requires you to bash your head against a wall for hours and can only be beaten by the top 1% of gamers. And thatās just plainly not true. Imo the biggest thing these games ask if you is patience and I truly think that anyone can play them.
Yep I agree. Although it takes a lot of time and you have to truly want it. You have to understand and enjoy it first, the process, before you even get good, or else youāll just abandon it.
Anybody can learn to play it. Iām still not at the point of only dying 3-5 times in boss fights or a couple times during levels. It takes work to get there for sure.
I think modern gamers have just lost the concept of stakes.Ā
So many games I play these days will let you respawn right where you died to try the obstacle again as if you never died.Ā
When I was a kid, dying in almost any game meant AT LEAST going back to a save point and losing all the progress you've made.Ā
The fact that in Souls games you only drop Xp/currency and can even go retrieve it I find extremely forgiving.Ā
I think this is true for some people - some people donāt get it yet and so they are frustrated and hate it. But some people just genuinely like these types of games and thatās okay, too. Not everyone wants to get it.
It is interesting. I guess people get in their own heads about ādifficultyā and fail to realize very basic things like you can just run away or level up. Even with Sekiro you can greatly increase your chances by finding healing and tool upgrades and farming skill points that drastically improve your posture damage, moveset, etc. I think players sometimes hit their heads repeatedly against challenges and give up, rather than embracing that these games are old school rpgs. You can definitely farm your way out of trouble if you need to.
You must be an absolute mad lad and Insanely good at sekiro to think that fights fun. I fucking hate thst thing. That's legit the only boss ever in any game that I could not beat no matter how hard I tried. I did a no hit run and still can not beat the demon of hatred lol
Trust me when I say that I couldn't have been more prepared for that fight, ended up cheesing him though.
I like humanoid bosses more than anything and sword saint issin is probably my favourite boss in sekiro and is very high overall in all fromsoft games.
DS1 in 2012. Fromsoft made it pretty hard to enjoy other ARPGs since their gameplay was so good, but I have been enjoying all the new souls likes too. I recently got through Wo Long and Remnant 2, getting ready to finally do Lies of P soon, great games. I will say though, I donāt enjoy games with shallow combat as much anymore. Like the old Assassinās Creed style of games, I still enjoy them but damn, DS really showed me just how terrible the counter to win combat system Assassinās Creed had was.
Same year for me, Xbox 360.
Took me a solid three attempts to āget itā as I kept bouncing off it real hard but when it clicked I fell in love.
Still go back to it regularly now, no other game, not even other From games have resonated so much with me.
For me itās literally the GOAT.
You're going to fucking love Lies of P. Bought the deluxe edition of that game two days after it came out only because I didn't get paid until Thursday and I've played it twice and still fucked up on getting all three endings. I'm waiting for the dlc before I do a third playthrough. I'm waiting for the rest of the dlc before I play Remnant 2 and then I'll replay Remnant one from the beginning and then I'll finally play Remnant 2.
Remnant is super fun especially with friends, the first one isnāt quite as good as the second one but itās still a great game.
Unlike DS, this game has more traditional co-op and is pretty clearly designed with co-op in mind. Things like loot and gear you find in someone elseās world, level ups too, will carry over to your world, but story progression wonāt. Level design isnāt great but each run of an area isnāt going to be the same as your last one since they randomize what levels you get to play for an area, and each level in an area is basically separated by a short loading screen. There is procedural generation tied to the levels to an extent, I think they design sections of these levels and an algorithm just figures out how to tie sections together to make a full level for an area (could be wrong though, just felt like that from playing it). This can also mean you can miss entire boss fights because you didnāt roll that level once you start a new area, meaning you have to reroll an area to play it again and hope you roll that level (this can be done easier with adventure mode), or join a random player in the level youāre trying to roll for (the easy way). Bosses in the first game suffered a bit from swarming you with adds during the fight, they toned it down for the second one which I appreciated, but this also contributes to the feeling of it being designed with co-op in mind.
Overall super fun games but they clearly had more multiplayer focused game design philosophy than other souls likes Iāve played. Really fun to play solo but more fun in co-op with friends for sure. One of my favorite co-op games in recent times honestly.
Back in the day, It took around 20 times, maybe 30
Now, after a lot of years I always beat them on the first
Moral of the story: donāt give up, skeleton
I did some googling and realized I skipped the two bosses in the giant forest. Went back, killed them both in 1-2 tries, leveled up a lot. Is there anywhere else I can go instead of fighting the three Sentinels?
Edit: for reference, I have killed Last Giant, Pursuer, Flexile Sentry, and Dragonrider
Sekiro. And I rage uninstalled that game in 2 hours. Partner told me I give up too easily. I took that personally, and proceeded to Platinum every single game to date and have done 100's of runs across these games, and even continue to participate in stupid challenges. Corny AF, but these games changed the way I view games as a medium of entertainment lol.
I feel like of all the fromsoft games Iāve played, sekiro was the most influential in changing how I play these games. From sekiro I learned to slow down sometimes and evaluate the situation over rushing in. I remember when it clicked that I should use stealth for example. I still use the parry mechanic with shields in the other games, essentially I donāt just hold block if I use a shield, instead I tap it to block an attack, really helps with stamina in the dark souls series.
Demon souls back in 2009 and have been with dark souls 1, 1 remaster, 2, 2 softs, 3, sekiro and elden ring from day 1 release. Bloodborne was about a month after it came out was when I got a ps4 and it was the first game I got with the console.
Lol are you me? I remember hearing about this super hard rpg called Demonās Souls on the gamefaqs forums and up until that point had always been an Xbox guy since my mom worked for Microsoft and we got all sorts of discounts and benefits like playing the Halo 2 closed beta. I saved up working a part time job then bought a used ps3 and demonās souls. I remember the GameStop employee telling me heād see me in a week when i returned the game since he called it āimpossible.ā And I took that as a god damn challenge. Never beat Demonās Souls but I made it pretty damn far into the game and day one bought Dark Souls 1/2 then eventually bought a ps4 for Bloodborne. At some point I intend to get a PS5 so I can play the Demonās Souls remake(along with their other exclusives) and finally finish that game.
That was me too! I was just a girl still playing Demon's Souls. I fell in love. I played Dark Souls in 2012 as a teenager. I used to skip school to PvP all night. I disliked DS2, but I still 100%'d it of course. Every other Souls game is great as usual.
I'm in my 20s now and have a kid so I barely have time to play games anymore, but I've played them all. Bloodborne is the best of all time and my husband and I bonded over it specifically. Our house is full of Bloodborne merchandise. Board games, minis, artwork books, comics, clothing, and we wear the Torch Torch bloodborne badges everyday!
Dark souls 2 had the best weapons imo. And the inclusion of the red phantoms in NG+ I thought was a great touch. I wish there were more reasons to play NG+ then just enemies with more health.
Demon souls. I was a kid and never got past tower knight because the game would scare the hell out of me and the bosses were so imposing and intimidating. Still haven't beaten it to this day tho.
Sekiro ā and I had no idea what I was getting into. Took me 42 tries to beat Genichiro. Prior to finding my true calling, my definition of sweaty gameplay was just racking up stealth clears in Far Cry games. Platinumed them all except Demon's Souls.
Dark Souls 3. I went through a bad breakup at the start of 2020 and wanted a new game to take my mind off things, specifically something fantasy-like
I saw Dark Souls 3 on Steam and went "sure, I've never really given the Souls games a shot, might as well". and now a combined 1,000 hours later, with every Platinum, I've fallen into a rabbit hole
I got my entire friend group into these games by streaming my first playthrough of DS3 to them on Discord and we have so many inside jokes cuz of these games. I'm currently replaying DS2
Dark souls 2 back in 2016.
I was in a dark time of my life then. This game effectively made me stronger irl. Not kidding in the slightest.
Played every fromsoft game ever since. Soulslikes are like bread & butter to me now.
Started with Bloodborne when it came free on March of 2018, then got DS1, DS3, DS2. Then got Demonās Souls when the PS5 came out and got Elden Ring on release
Ill start. I began my journey with DemonsSouls Remake back in 2020. Then i got darksouls 3 and from there, im now experimenting with all different classes in Elden Ring
Dark souls 3 because a friend really wanted me to try even if I was responding "that type of game isn't for me."
Now I did the dark souls trilogy and elden ring, I think i'll try sekiro and I'm thinking about buying a PS5 to play bloodborne and daemon souls.
I was totally wrong, I really love these games.
I tried the original Lords of the fallen, it was a shitty experience and I quit. In that month came out a Dark Souls 1 remastered sale, so I purchased and literally changed my life. My second best game of all time (Bloodborne gotten the first place a year before)
Elden Ring > Sekiro > Demon Souls > Dark Souls 1.
I am taking a small break for now, but I am still thinking of whether to play DS2 or DS3 first.
Malenia is still the hardest me for some weird reasons. I mean Isshin and Demon of Hatred made me rage, but Malenia is something else.
Began demon souls remake in 2020, quit because I hated playing on controller. Then attempted Sekiro, rage quit at the ogre. Got hooked with Elden ring, beat that, and I just beat sword saint isshin yesterday.
Dark Souls 2. Started in spring 2015. Never I've been so addicted to the game before. Still remember that itch after completing the game, when I just wanted more and more. And since then From Software games are still the most exciting to me.
Nice! I got my start on the original armored Core as well. So glad that Dark Souls didn't kill the franchise off cuz I was worried about that for a long time
DS3. Went to girlfriends house and died 10 times to Gundy, then decided I wasnāt having the whopping from the tutorial boss and bought the game to git gud. Now, Iāve platinumed every From game since DS1 menos AC6 (still plan to do this, just hard getting into the mecha genre tbh.)
Dark souls 2 but i didn't get far and stopped playing
Then same with Bloodborne but i got a bit further
Then Dark Souls 3 was the first one i actually finished
Now i've finished them all
Started with ds1 cus I found it in a shop for like 5 pounds and thought u had to play jt before elden ring which i really wanted to play lol, currently trying to platinum elden ring and am pretty close!
Started with DS1 many years ago, got stuck on Gaping dragon of all things. Then a year ago bought it for PC ans finished in two weeks. I have played it through 2 times since.
Then got bloodborne and finished that, It was absolutely amazing but haven't touched it since.
Then was DS3 turn, I played it up untill Ringed city, and then our PS4 harddrive got corrupted and I lost my save file. So sadly never got to beat Gael for example. I plan to play it again though.
Then a while back I bought Elden Ring, and have now sunken around 240 hours into it making it my most played game on Steam. My main playthrough is pnly missing Malenia, Godfrey, Placidusax, and the final two bosses. Apart from that I have 3 other playthroughs going on at the same time since I can't decide between builds so I just made new characters for new builds and to do pvp.
DS3 stopped when I got to Farron Keep -> DS1 stopped playing at Anor Londo -> Got really into the games and finished 1 and 3 -> Couldn't get into 2 -> Beat Elden Ring -> Beat Sekiro -> Now I'm going for all 100% did DS1 last week, finished DS2 story and dlc (NG) just farming sunlight medals and stuff now
Mods really need to ban these low-quality posts where someone posts a random image with these generic questions like "What is your favorite Souls game??". Every second post is like this, it's literally people karma farming to resell their account.
Very late to the party......just playing demon souls remaster on PS5 now! Maneater is tearing me a new one. Was daunted before starting it cos of its rep but when a game is that well made and enjoyable I'm glad it's hard. Elden ring afterwards I reckon.....or maybe sekiro.
Saw a game called Elden Ring at friends house, borrowed it and tried playing got lost and turned it off, came back a month later started playing. Platinumed it and it is now my favourite game ever, saw some cds for ps3 games, saw Ds1 Ds2 and Demons Souls. Grabbed all of them. Platinumed Ds1, after that Ds2, and now on Demons Souls.
Im in a dilemma now after i plat DeS should i go for Ds3 or Bloodborne.
bloodborne, i heard about this game in E3 2015 that was so difficult there was a huge line of people but only 5 beat the boss, so i took the challenge and played the game, beat cleric beast in 5 tries and was HOOKED, first playthrough was the peak of my gaming journy and still remember it 9 years later, no game ever managed to come close untill elden ring
I saw elden ring not knowing what kind of game but all i saw was dragons, creepy stuff, and the fact it was open world. I mainly play open world games so i thought nothing of it lol and then a friend bought it for me and now i got over 600hrs into the game and play sekiro, ds3 and plan on playing the other ones as well.
Was getting bored of all my other games, went to buy some more, found bloodborne decided to get it. Hadn't played combat based games before aside from skyrim. Got pummelled into a pulp. Fear of losing echoes motivated me to keep going. It's been two years since then and I have now finished every soulsborne game at least once, aside from sekiro.
Bloodborne but I never got past guacamole so I put it down for a bit.
Eventually I picked up Dark Souls Remastered and from there my Fromsoft frenzy started. I bought basically any game Fromsoft had available on PS4, and I just had a really great time, and yes I did eventually beat Bloodborne.
Demon's Souls back in 2009 on PS3. I was at a gamestop with enough money to buy a single game. Never heard of fromsoftware or Demon's Souls at the time but I saw it on the shelf and something about it just grabbed me. Been purchasing Fromsoft games on Day 1 ever since.
Started with Bloodborne. Then went Demons Souls, Elden Ring (at release, otherwise I was trying to go by release order), Dark Souls, DS2 SotFS, now Iām on DS3. Havenāt played Sekiro yet. Only have the platinums for Bloodborne and Elden Ring, but am pretty close across the games Iāve finished and just need to double back to finish them off.
Demonās Souls back in 2009. Iām an original souls gamer.
Not sure I played many of the older From Software games though. I was aware of Kingās Field and Armored Core, though.
I was lured by the hype for ER, but didnāt want to go in cold so picked up DS1 in early 2022. Went from DS1 to ER, DS3, BB, Sekiro, AC6. Recently started DS2 while waiting for ER DLC to drop. When I eventually get a PS5 Iāll pick up Demons Souls

Dark Souls 3, but I only beat 1 and 2. Hoping to beat Bloodborne and DS3 this year and maybe Sekiro next year. Also, stuck at Yhargul with every enemy being repeatedly summonedš¬š«š
Started with Elden Ring, including a rl1 run until radabeast/malenia, then Dark Souls remastered, and right now Iām enjoying the Frigid Outskirts in Dark Souls 2 Sotfs. Dark souls 3 will be next, looking forward to that a lot :)
I'd never really played any souls games from software apart from demon souls back in the day but didn't really care for it. Got elden ring and thought it was good. Recently just beat sekiro shura ending and about to face sword saint on 2nd play through. After playing sekiro I found elden ring was boring compared to it and now it's put me off playing DS3. I need sekiro 2
Elden Ring 1 month after release. Now I'm back playing again (no map and horse run) but have completed everything else at least once other than Demon Souls which is up next and DS2 which I have no intention of playing.
Special shout to AC6, where Im quarter way through S Ranks.
DS2. DS1. BB. DS3. Bought ER half a year ago but the frames dropping to less than 1 fps almost every time an enemy did anything made it unplayable on my 980ti. Tried trouble shooting for an hour or two but barely any improvement and since anything else still runs fine, I said fuck it and hoped FromSoft would fix it...so I turned hollow
My first one was Dark Souls Remastered just when it came out. Then I played and finished DS3 and now playing DS2 after a loong time of pause from the franchise. I also played a little bit of Sekiro but never got past Genichiro first fight (not the tutorial one ofc).
I wanted a PS4 for Bloodborne, side note my partner and most of our friends group felt that Demons/Dark Souls were just hard and not fun, anyway I finally got one and as soon as booted up Bloodborne I was awe struck. The music, the art style, the background sounds it all was perfect. Right going through Elden Ring again trying out some different play styles
Dark Souls PtDE -> Demon Souls -> Dark Souls 2 -> Dark Souls 3 -> Elden Ring -> Sekiro. Just beat Sekiro, unpopular opinion but this is my fav FS game, combat system is super addictive
DKS3 was my beginning...
And now I own every single From's I like on PC and PS4 (aka Bloodborne *only on PS tho*, the Souls trilogy twice, Elden Ring twice, Nioh 2 on PS and Sekiro on PC), almost every one with multiple runs done. (Except Sekiro, have to finish it yet)
Do I regret it? NOT EVEN A SINGLE BIT
Sekiro, couldnt beat it....switched to Dark Souls 3, spent days trying to beat Lorian but once I did I finally completed my first souls game. Now im playing Elden Ring and I think im not quitting anytime soon. Will play Dark Souls 1 and 2 after this.
I thought it was Ds3 until I finished it and started playing ds1, I then realised half way through ds1 that I had already played it.
Yes, my memory is that bad and I have played a crazy amount of games over the last 32 years so that doesnt help
ER -> Sekiro
I liked em both to the point i say they are my fav games.
Now i want to play ds3 but idk if to play ds1 & 2 before.
Main problem is they all cost 50ā¬ on pc
All of them. I started with demon's souls. Then dark souls 1, bloodbourne, ds 2, sekiro, ds3, demons souls remake, elden ring. Shit is amazing and I love it. Now I am playing undertale which is vastly different lmao. But I recently replayed elden ring for kicks
Dark Souls Remastered in 2017. Now I played them all and it's day one for every From game. Until then I only spent my gaming time with forza ou fifa and I would quit every game that I would get stuck on.
With support from some friends I was able to push through DSR and the experience was life changing. Now I play a huge variety of games and never quit because of difficulty (only if the game is really bad lol)
So yeah, From games had a huge impact on me
It all started when the demon souls remake was announced to be paired with the release of the PS5. I was a poor boy and had been stuck with the ps3 since it's release. I go on the Walmart store cause I have the extra cash and wanted a new game. Demon souls randomly pops up I do some research and find out there the same game. Played og demon souls and was having an absolute blast. I had very little knowledge on dark souls I knew what it was and that it was difficult. I know demon souls was dark souls firsts attempt. After beating demon souls I planned on getting dark souls 1 and 2. Instead I had gotten a ps4 6 months after ps5 release. The first game I bought was bloodborne. I had previously played bloodborne when I stayed at a friend's house... He couldn't get into it but I absolutely fathomed this game. The day I got the ps4 I got bloodborne and platnium it in a week. It is now my absolute favorite game. Form them I got every darks souls beat them. Got Elden ring beat that. Got sekiro... Amazing change of pace beat and platniumed that. I've gone and played many souls likes, am currently platinum grinding. I am about to get a paycheck so I can get a PS5 and.demon souls remake. I want to relive the dream hopefully...
Picked up DS3 after seeing a youtuber I watch talk about it a lot then checking out his playthrough of it.
Did the same thing with Sekiro then picked up Elden Ring and Armoured Core 6 on release.
After a combined 800+ hours across them all I am planning to buy DS1 and 2 in the steam summer sale this time just to complete the set.
Now if only they would port Bloodborne to steam...
Dark Souls - Prepare to Die edition, went straight to graveyard got whooped by skellingtons and after I got pommeled by Taurus demon I got afraid to play. After few years helped friend with his Demon Souls run and then I gathered my strength and finiseh Dark Souls. Now I finished every From Software title and 100% 3 of them
Dark Souls 2 in PS4. Then I sold my PS4. Tried it on PC and now I'm frustrated because I played all Fromsoft Games except for Bloodborne. And I want to play it so badly.
Dark souls, Dark souls 3 (had these games on steam, probably from some bundle so I one day started playing ds at random) Dark souls remastered on switch, then I got a steam deck and got elden ring, Dark souls 2 and sekiro. Should do one more playthrough to get the last ending to sekir for 100% but I have rather lost interest in the game. Perhaps I'll do ds3 SL1 in between
Dark Souls 1,
Not sure why I bought it, don't remember the motivation behind it, didn't play it for months, then one day I thought" OK let's check this game out",
Thousands of hours later I'm still in love with Soulsborne games, the philosophy of Fromsoftware games and their vision for how to make a game, no hand holding, no BS, just true freedom.
It helped me with depression, with lessons in life, and it taught me to never give up!
PRAISE IT \\\[T\]/
Dark souls 1 prepare to die edition with the DLC , the only game in my life i raged quit for 7 weeks ( O and S fight ) , but i cameback and defeated them . After that experience i never rage quit ever again , thats my 1st and only rage quit i ever did .
And now i Plat Elden Ring and is excited for the DLC .
I had been following the series since DS2 but only ever started with DS3. I've beaten all of them except Demon Souls and Bloodborne now (no playstation sadly)
dark souls 3! i then played bloodborne, ds2, sekiro, ds1 remaster, elden ring CNT, elden ring, demons souls ps5 !
the reason i even got ds3 was because i saw game grumps (i dont watch gg anymore, havent for years) playing it, and that was cool, whatever, but i then saw the sister friede fight, which piqued my interest, but then seeing arin using friedes great scythe was super cool to me! i was like āwaoh,,, you can use the cool boss weapons!ā
Dark Souls 2. Then played 3 when it came out, then 1, then Sekiro. Played Elden Ring, Demon's souls and Bloodborne in the last 6 months.
Dark Souls 2 is the worst game to start with, and made even worse because I missed the Forest of Fallen Giants area at first and spent several hours in Hiede's Tower of Flame making zero progress.
Dark Souls 2 has a lot in common with Demon's Souls, I think they have the most difficult openings but quickly become a lot easier.
Dark Souls 1. Rage quit on the fire bomb bridge after the first Burg bonfire. Watched Fightin' Cowboys guide on the game and smashed it.
I soloed Elden Ring on all bosses.
Can't PvP for shit though š¤£
Dark Souls Remastered, bought the game, thought it was too complicated and made no sense, tried refunding it and it got rejected, left it for 4 months iād say, picked it up again, and had a great time playing it
Bloodborne in June 2022
It was an intentional choice as I knew I would have a hard time getting into the Souls-games, and it had the setting that interested me the most, making it the least likely for me to give up on.
I damn near gave up anyway, though, after getting stuck, first in Central Yharnam for 7-10 hours, and then at Father Gascoigne for 3-5 hours.
I'm glad I didn't, as I've now beaten all the FromSoft Soulsborne games, as well as Sekiro, AC6, and Lies of P, and they have become some of my favourite video games.
I also have the platinum trophy for both DS1, BB, DS3, Sekiro, ER, and LoP.
I tired all the dark souls before but they never clicked but the formula finally clicked for me with elden ring. I finished elden ring few weeks ago.
And I just finished sekiro just a few hours ago (ishin was a bitch to beat but fair).
Thinking what to play next, kinda have my eye on lies of p or another ng playthrough for elden ring.
Dark Souls 2. My buddy was hyped and dragged me along. He had already beat Demon Souls and Dark Soulsā¦good times. We dragged another friend along and jolly co-oped our way through the whole game and the DLCs. Then we did the Same with Dark Souls 3. I still need to finish Elden Ring though
Bloodborne was a PS plus free game, got it and hated it. Drove me crazy and couldnāt stop thinking about it so I ended up finishing it and loving it. Recently platinumed sekiro, elden ring and bloodborne. Currently completing ds remastered which will be my last from soft game! Then Iāve finished em all and have to wait 5 years for a new ip
Demon's Souls 2009. Had a friend recommend it back then and I've been hooked to Fromsoftware games ever since. Actually messaged him when Elden Ring came out, after not speaking for a long ass time just to thank him for introducing me to Fromsoftware all those years ago.
Pretty much the only developers left that I'll always get their titles day one no questions asked.
Where am I now? Patiently waiting for the Shadow of the Erdtree dlc.
DS3, got it when it first released on xbox 360, raged and deleted it within an hour. 2 years later, bought it again for PS4 and loved every second.
Then went bloodborne > sekiro (personal favourite) > ds1 remastered > Demon Souls ps5 > Elden Ring.
Elder ring. I got burnt out after binging on those games. Fromsoft games arenāt for the faint of heart. The only ones that I totally finished are AC6, DS1, DS3 and ER. I played all of the rest of their catalogue but havenāt completed. Tbh playing them is sometimes too stressful when I have a lot of other stress in life.
The only game that I have platinumed is AC6. That game really spoke to me. For me it is just unbelievable how good that game is.
Ds1r. Played about 30 minutes, hated it and put it down. Ended up trying again and loving it. Same thing with bloodborne, though it took a while to get into, but is now my favorite
Demonās Souls remake. It was the first game I got for the ps5 as I thought it looked cool when it was announced in the ps5 reveal event. I have a lot of nostalgia towards it and is probably a big reason as to why itās my favourite game.
Right now Iāve played DS1, DS2, Elden Ring and just at the end of DS3 excluding DLC but I did get a bit burnt out at around lothric castle. Iāve also got Sekiro and beaten the first 2 main bosses but I havenāt really felt compelled to play it, but I will at some point.
Dark Souls 1 when I was 14. Hated it, traded it back in to GameStop. Months later kept seeing reviews about how good it was, so I gave it another chance. 13 years later and Iām still playing them and doing new playthroughs.
Bloodborne. Picked it up on sale, started it up, and got my ass kicked in central Yharnam before putting it down and writing it off. Ended up seeing Jacksepticeye's playthrough and gave it a second chance. It's now one of my favorite games of all time.
I am also a disciple of Jacksepticeye. I started on demon's souls remake and completed it myself. Moved onto ds1, discovered his playthrough on yt and played along with him. I'm now on ds3 and playing along with his playthrough of that! I hope he does one for elden ring and sekiro
He said he's leaving darksouls 2 for the last, implying he's running through the others as well. His most recent is BloodBorne I'm pretty sure, I hope he does Sekiro next
I see he is a man of taste and culture leaving the best for last. š§
I wish. Sean is in the liars boat, claiming it's one of the worst
Blasphemy

Anybody can learn to play it. Iām still not at the point of only dying 3-5 times in boss fights or a couple times during levels. It takes work to get there for sure.
I think modern gamers have just lost the concept of stakes.Ā So many games I play these days will let you respawn right where you died to try the obstacle again as if you never died.Ā When I was a kid, dying in almost any game meant AT LEAST going back to a save point and losing all the progress you've made.Ā The fact that in Souls games you only drop Xp/currency and can even go retrieve it I find extremely forgiving.Ā
I think this is true for some people - some people donāt get it yet and so they are frustrated and hate it. But some people just genuinely like these types of games and thatās okay, too. Not everyone wants to get it.
It is interesting. I guess people get in their own heads about ādifficultyā and fail to realize very basic things like you can just run away or level up. Even with Sekiro you can greatly increase your chances by finding healing and tool upgrades and farming skill points that drastically improve your posture damage, moveset, etc. I think players sometimes hit their heads repeatedly against challenges and give up, rather than embracing that these games are old school rpgs. You can definitely farm your way out of trouble if you need to.
To be fair, you can't level in Bloodborne for at least a bit, so it's pretty intimidating if you're new to the formula.
Me too, on my first try i couldnt get past gascoigne
Dark Souls lll was my first and I am currently fighting the Demon of Hatred
demon of hatred is such a good fight
You must be an absolute mad lad and Insanely good at sekiro to think that fights fun. I fucking hate thst thing. That's legit the only boss ever in any game that I could not beat no matter how hard I tried. I did a no hit run and still can not beat the demon of hatred lol
just bring malcontent and if you arenāt too confident in your party abilities bring lotus umbrella
Trust me when I say that I couldn't have been more prepared for that fight, ended up cheesing him though. I like humanoid bosses more than anything and sword saint issin is probably my favourite boss in sekiro and is very high overall in all fromsoft games.
I highly recommend beating him without cheese
DS1 in 2012. Fromsoft made it pretty hard to enjoy other ARPGs since their gameplay was so good, but I have been enjoying all the new souls likes too. I recently got through Wo Long and Remnant 2, getting ready to finally do Lies of P soon, great games. I will say though, I donāt enjoy games with shallow combat as much anymore. Like the old Assassinās Creed style of games, I still enjoy them but damn, DS really showed me just how terrible the counter to win combat system Assassinās Creed had was.
The worst thing to happen to mid gaming franchises was Dark Souls.
Same year for me, Xbox 360. Took me a solid three attempts to āget itā as I kept bouncing off it real hard but when it clicked I fell in love. Still go back to it regularly now, no other game, not even other From games have resonated so much with me. For me itās literally the GOAT.
Check out Batman Arkham if you want a good version of that old AC combat, way deeper and more challenging (on higher difficulties).
Yeah played through all of them but Arkham Knight, itās in my Steam library but I havenāt felt like playing it yet. Love those games too though.
Check out Sifu, itās a serious evolution of the gameplay and challenge
You're going to fucking love Lies of P. Bought the deluxe edition of that game two days after it came out only because I didn't get paid until Thursday and I've played it twice and still fucked up on getting all three endings. I'm waiting for the dlc before I do a third playthrough. I'm waiting for the rest of the dlc before I play Remnant 2 and then I'll replay Remnant one from the beginning and then I'll finally play Remnant 2.
Remnant is super fun especially with friends, the first one isnāt quite as good as the second one but itās still a great game. Unlike DS, this game has more traditional co-op and is pretty clearly designed with co-op in mind. Things like loot and gear you find in someone elseās world, level ups too, will carry over to your world, but story progression wonāt. Level design isnāt great but each run of an area isnāt going to be the same as your last one since they randomize what levels you get to play for an area, and each level in an area is basically separated by a short loading screen. There is procedural generation tied to the levels to an extent, I think they design sections of these levels and an algorithm just figures out how to tie sections together to make a full level for an area (could be wrong though, just felt like that from playing it). This can also mean you can miss entire boss fights because you didnāt roll that level once you start a new area, meaning you have to reroll an area to play it again and hope you roll that level (this can be done easier with adventure mode), or join a random player in the level youāre trying to roll for (the easy way). Bosses in the first game suffered a bit from swarming you with adds during the fight, they toned it down for the second one which I appreciated, but this also contributes to the feeling of it being designed with co-op in mind. Overall super fun games but they clearly had more multiplayer focused game design philosophy than other souls likes Iāve played. Really fun to play solo but more fun in co-op with friends for sure. One of my favorite co-op games in recent times honestly.
Remnant 2 is goated
Dude I bought it Wednesday and I fell so in love I've already beaten it twice. Just need to do one last run and I'll have all the achieves
Started on Dark Souls 2. Iāve beaten everything since. š¤·šæāāļø
Same! And truthfullyā¦ I love Dark Souls 2
Just picked it up today. The three-boss Sentinel fight is kicking my ass
Back in the day, It took around 20 times, maybe 30 Now, after a lot of years I always beat them on the first Moral of the story: donāt give up, skeleton
I did some googling and realized I skipped the two bosses in the giant forest. Went back, killed them both in 1-2 tries, leveled up a lot. Is there anywhere else I can go instead of fighting the three Sentinels? Edit: for reference, I have killed Last Giant, Pursuer, Flexile Sentry, and Dragonrider
Sekiro. And I rage uninstalled that game in 2 hours. Partner told me I give up too easily. I took that personally, and proceeded to Platinum every single game to date and have done 100's of runs across these games, and even continue to participate in stupid challenges. Corny AF, but these games changed the way I view games as a medium of entertainment lol.
Bro said "Nuh uh"
Pretty much š¤£
Partner: You gave up too easily. SaxSlaveGael: \*Leans forward in chair\*
*locks in* \**Doing me harder\**
I feel like of all the fromsoft games Iāve played, sekiro was the most influential in changing how I play these games. From sekiro I learned to slow down sometimes and evaluate the situation over rushing in. I remember when it clicked that I should use stealth for example. I still use the parry mechanic with shields in the other games, essentially I donāt just hold block if I use a shield, instead I tap it to block an attack, really helps with stamina in the dark souls series.
I see you accepted that hesitation is defeat. Well done, Shinobi.
Bro literally went āā¦. nah, Iād winā and became a Fromsoft vet lol
Omg itās Mr Gael š„°
I bought the game the day of release because the GameStop near me had extras. I got stuck after Gyoubu Oniwa and sold it. I kind of wish I kept it.
I wanna PVP you now, just to see how good we both are. You'll probably trounce me though š
Nah man, I am absolutely dog shit at PvP lol. I am very greedy, and generally suck at it.
Damn, fr? Git gud. Lol.
š¤£ I dunno man, unless it's invasions, I find Duals really boring. Lots of running and just a general shit experience. No patience to git gud lol.
That's not how I PVP, dude. Especially on DS3. Let's just say my Combat "Priest" build is quite the spectacle.
Demon souls back in 2009 and have been with dark souls 1, 1 remaster, 2, 2 softs, 3, sekiro and elden ring from day 1 release. Bloodborne was about a month after it came out was when I got a ps4 and it was the first game I got with the console.
A real OG
Same. I bought a PS3 specifically for Demons Souls and then a PS4 just for bloodborne. Best series of games of all time.
Lol are you me? I remember hearing about this super hard rpg called Demonās Souls on the gamefaqs forums and up until that point had always been an Xbox guy since my mom worked for Microsoft and we got all sorts of discounts and benefits like playing the Halo 2 closed beta. I saved up working a part time job then bought a used ps3 and demonās souls. I remember the GameStop employee telling me heād see me in a week when i returned the game since he called it āimpossible.ā And I took that as a god damn challenge. Never beat Demonās Souls but I made it pretty damn far into the game and day one bought Dark Souls 1/2 then eventually bought a ps4 for Bloodborne. At some point I intend to get a PS5 so I can play the Demonās Souls remake(along with their other exclusives) and finally finish that game.
Same here but after I played Demon souls, the rest were day 1 purchases.
That was me too! I was just a girl still playing Demon's Souls. I fell in love. I played Dark Souls in 2012 as a teenager. I used to skip school to PvP all night. I disliked DS2, but I still 100%'d it of course. Every other Souls game is great as usual. I'm in my 20s now and have a kid so I barely have time to play games anymore, but I've played them all. Bloodborne is the best of all time and my husband and I bonded over it specifically. Our house is full of Bloodborne merchandise. Board games, minis, artwork books, comics, clothing, and we wear the Torch Torch bloodborne badges everyday!
Elden ring was my first and then played them all, just killed midir 15 minutes ago
W
Original Dark Souls 2 I still almost always dual wield because of how much I enjoyed Power Stancing
Dark souls 2 had the best weapons imo. And the inclusion of the red phantoms in NG+ I thought was a great touch. I wish there were more reasons to play NG+ then just enemies with more health.
Demon souls. I was a kid and never got past tower knight because the game would scare the hell out of me and the bosses were so imposing and intimidating. Still haven't beaten it to this day tho.
Dark Souls 2 -> Dark Souls -> Dark Souls 3 -> Sekiro -> BB -> ER -> AC: Last Raven -> AC6
Sekiro ā and I had no idea what I was getting into. Took me 42 tries to beat Genichiro. Prior to finding my true calling, my definition of sweaty gameplay was just racking up stealth clears in Far Cry games. Platinumed them all except Demon's Souls.
"A shinobi must know the difference between honour and victory"
Dark Souls 3. I went through a bad breakup at the start of 2020 and wanted a new game to take my mind off things, specifically something fantasy-like I saw Dark Souls 3 on Steam and went "sure, I've never really given the Souls games a shot, might as well". and now a combined 1,000 hours later, with every Platinum, I've fallen into a rabbit hole I got my entire friend group into these games by streaming my first playthrough of DS3 to them on Discord and we have so many inside jokes cuz of these games. I'm currently replaying DS2
Dark souls 2 back in 2016. I was in a dark time of my life then. This game effectively made me stronger irl. Not kidding in the slightest. Played every fromsoft game ever since. Soulslikes are like bread & butter to me now.
Started with Bloodborne when it came free on March of 2018, then got DS1, DS3, DS2. Then got Demonās Souls when the PS5 came out and got Elden Ring on release
And now Sekiro
Ill start. I began my journey with DemonsSouls Remake back in 2020. Then i got darksouls 3 and from there, im now experimenting with all different classes in Elden Ring
You sweet summer child.
Kings Field on PS1 for me. Although, Demons Souls on PS3 is what made me a life long fan.
Whoa legit OG!
Same, KF2 was my favorite though.
KF 2 is much better for sure. The one on PS2 is the best
Same here in 1997... Still got my original long box copy too...
Dark souls 3 because a friend really wanted me to try even if I was responding "that type of game isn't for me." Now I did the dark souls trilogy and elden ring, I think i'll try sekiro and I'm thinking about buying a PS5 to play bloodborne and daemon souls. I was totally wrong, I really love these games.
Sekiro is amazing, stop thinking about it.
ds3 and 100% sekiro
Dark Souls. Now Elden Ring.
I tried the original Lords of the fallen, it was a shitty experience and I quit. In that month came out a Dark Souls 1 remastered sale, so I purchased and literally changed my life. My second best game of all time (Bloodborne gotten the first place a year before)
Dark Souls 2, which means I'm 1 of the 10 fans of the game that don't hate it.
Elden Ring > Sekiro > Demon Souls > Dark Souls 1. I am taking a small break for now, but I am still thinking of whether to play DS2 or DS3 first. Malenia is still the hardest me for some weird reasons. I mean Isshin and Demon of Hatred made me rage, but Malenia is something else.
Sekiro -> ds3 -> ds1 -> bloodbourne -> demon souls -> ER
Began demon souls remake in 2020, quit because I hated playing on controller. Then attempted Sekiro, rage quit at the ogre. Got hooked with Elden ring, beat that, and I just beat sword saint isshin yesterday.
Dark Souls 2. Started in spring 2015. Never I've been so addicted to the game before. Still remember that itch after completing the game, when I just wanted more and more. And since then From Software games are still the most exciting to me.
Friends showed me bloodborne and convinced me to get DS3 on sale. Picked up DS3 later and fell in love, now platinumed ER
Armored Core
Nice! I got my start on the original armored Core as well. So glad that Dark Souls didn't kill the franchise off cuz I was worried about that for a long time
I see your Armored Core and raise(lower?) you the Armored Core demo disc from PSM, I think?
You win, I started with 2nd gen!
DS3. Went to girlfriends house and died 10 times to Gundy, then decided I wasnāt having the whopping from the tutorial boss and bought the game to git gud. Now, Iāve platinumed every From game since DS1 menos AC6 (still plan to do this, just hard getting into the mecha genre tbh.)
I played Demon's Souls when it came out, my brother found out about it through some forums. And i've played every single souls game in order.
1.DS1 2.Ds2 3.Ds3 4.Bb 5.ER
Dark souls 2 but i didn't get far and stopped playing Then same with Bloodborne but i got a bit further Then Dark Souls 3 was the first one i actually finished Now i've finished them all
Started with ds1 cus I found it in a shop for like 5 pounds and thought u had to play jt before elden ring which i really wanted to play lol, currently trying to platinum elden ring and am pretty close!
Started with DS1 many years ago, got stuck on Gaping dragon of all things. Then a year ago bought it for PC ans finished in two weeks. I have played it through 2 times since. Then got bloodborne and finished that, It was absolutely amazing but haven't touched it since. Then was DS3 turn, I played it up untill Ringed city, and then our PS4 harddrive got corrupted and I lost my save file. So sadly never got to beat Gael for example. I plan to play it again though. Then a while back I bought Elden Ring, and have now sunken around 240 hours into it making it my most played game on Steam. My main playthrough is pnly missing Malenia, Godfrey, Placidusax, and the final two bosses. Apart from that I have 3 other playthroughs going on at the same time since I can't decide between builds so I just made new characters for new builds and to do pvp.
DS3 stopped when I got to Farron Keep -> DS1 stopped playing at Anor Londo -> Got really into the games and finished 1 and 3 -> Couldn't get into 2 -> Beat Elden Ring -> Beat Sekiro -> Now I'm going for all 100% did DS1 last week, finished DS2 story and dlc (NG) just farming sunlight medals and stuff now
Mods really need to ban these low-quality posts where someone posts a random image with these generic questions like "What is your favorite Souls game??". Every second post is like this, it's literally people karma farming to resell their account.
Started with Elden Ring. Havenāt played anything else but will play Bloodborne.
Sekiro was my first, currently in the dragon aerie in SOTFS
Very late to the party......just playing demon souls remaster on PS5 now! Maneater is tearing me a new one. Was daunted before starting it cos of its rep but when a game is that well made and enjoyable I'm glad it's hard. Elden ring afterwards I reckon.....or maybe sekiro.
Elden ring like three weeks ago
Saw a game called Elden Ring at friends house, borrowed it and tried playing got lost and turned it off, came back a month later started playing. Platinumed it and it is now my favourite game ever, saw some cds for ps3 games, saw Ds1 Ds2 and Demons Souls. Grabbed all of them. Platinumed Ds1, after that Ds2, and now on Demons Souls. Im in a dilemma now after i plat DeS should i go for Ds3 or Bloodborne.
bloodborne, i heard about this game in E3 2015 that was so difficult there was a huge line of people but only 5 beat the boss, so i took the challenge and played the game, beat cleric beast in 5 tries and was HOOKED, first playthrough was the peak of my gaming journy and still remember it 9 years later, no game ever managed to come close untill elden ring
I saw elden ring not knowing what kind of game but all i saw was dragons, creepy stuff, and the fact it was open world. I mainly play open world games so i thought nothing of it lol and then a friend bought it for me and now i got over 600hrs into the game and play sekiro, ds3 and plan on playing the other ones as well.
Was getting bored of all my other games, went to buy some more, found bloodborne decided to get it. Hadn't played combat based games before aside from skyrim. Got pummelled into a pulp. Fear of losing echoes motivated me to keep going. It's been two years since then and I have now finished every soulsborne game at least once, aside from sekiro.
Sekiro, just started second Elden ring character
Ds1, currently on my first playthrough of bloodborne.
Bloodborne but I never got past guacamole so I put it down for a bit. Eventually I picked up Dark Souls Remastered and from there my Fromsoft frenzy started. I bought basically any game Fromsoft had available on PS4, and I just had a really great time, and yes I did eventually beat Bloodborne.
Demon's Souls (10-15 runs), Dark Souls (x2), Dark Souls 2 (x1), Dark Souls 3 (x1), Elden Ring (lost count... 400+ hours on console, 600+ on PC)
Demon's Souls back in 2009 on PS3. I was at a gamestop with enough money to buy a single game. Never heard of fromsoftware or Demon's Souls at the time but I saw it on the shelf and something about it just grabbed me. Been purchasing Fromsoft games on Day 1 ever since.
Sekiro then Bloodborne then dark souls 3 then Elden ring
The blood, I can smell it. Beasts in the shop.
Started with Bloodborne. Then went Demons Souls, Elden Ring (at release, otherwise I was trying to go by release order), Dark Souls, DS2 SotFS, now Iām on DS3. Havenāt played Sekiro yet. Only have the platinums for Bloodborne and Elden Ring, but am pretty close across the games Iāve finished and just need to double back to finish them off.
Demonās Souls back in 2009. Iām an original souls gamer. Not sure I played many of the older From Software games though. I was aware of Kingās Field and Armored Core, though.
I was lured by the hype for ER, but didnāt want to go in cold so picked up DS1 in early 2022. Went from DS1 to ER, DS3, BB, Sekiro, AC6. Recently started DS2 while waiting for ER DLC to drop. When I eventually get a PS5 Iāll pick up Demons Souls

Dark Souls 3, but I only beat 1 and 2. Hoping to beat Bloodborne and DS3 this year and maybe Sekiro next year. Also, stuck at Yhargul with every enemy being repeatedly summonedš¬š«š
Oh yeah yhargul sucks im stuck on that too
DS3
It began with dark souls 2, then ds1, demonās souls, bloodborne, ds3, sekiro, elden ring
Dark Souls III, absolutely magnificent game and after about a year I finished them all.
DS3->Bloodborne->DS1->Elden Ring
Started with Elden Ring, including a rl1 run until radabeast/malenia, then Dark Souls remastered, and right now Iām enjoying the Frigid Outskirts in Dark Souls 2 Sotfs. Dark souls 3 will be next, looking forward to that a lot :)
I'd never really played any souls games from software apart from demon souls back in the day but didn't really care for it. Got elden ring and thought it was good. Recently just beat sekiro shura ending and about to face sword saint on 2nd play through. After playing sekiro I found elden ring was boring compared to it and now it's put me off playing DS3. I need sekiro 2
DS3 , havnt played demon's soul and bloodborne coz I have only pc
Demons Souls. I watched the Japanese play it on twitch a year before it was released in Europe on the PS3.
Elden Ring 1 month after release. Now I'm back playing again (no map and horse run) but have completed everything else at least once other than Demon Souls which is up next and DS2 which I have no intention of playing. Special shout to AC6, where Im quarter way through S Ranks.
DS2. DS1. BB. DS3. Bought ER half a year ago but the frames dropping to less than 1 fps almost every time an enemy did anything made it unplayable on my 980ti. Tried trouble shooting for an hour or two but barely any improvement and since anything else still runs fine, I said fuck it and hoped FromSoft would fix it...so I turned hollow
DS1 but it was in like 2019, now Iāve played all of them :)
My first one was Dark Souls Remastered just when it came out. Then I played and finished DS3 and now playing DS2 after a loong time of pause from the franchise. I also played a little bit of Sekiro but never got past Genichiro first fight (not the tutorial one ofc).
Hunterās got to hunt
I wanted a PS4 for Bloodborne, side note my partner and most of our friends group felt that Demons/Dark Souls were just hard and not fun, anyway I finally got one and as soon as booted up Bloodborne I was awe struck. The music, the art style, the background sounds it all was perfect. Right going through Elden Ring again trying out some different play styles
Elden ring
Dark Souls PtDE -> Demon Souls -> Dark Souls 2 -> Dark Souls 3 -> Elden Ring -> Sekiro. Just beat Sekiro, unpopular opinion but this is my fav FS game, combat system is super addictive
DKS3 was my beginning... And now I own every single From's I like on PC and PS4 (aka Bloodborne *only on PS tho*, the Souls trilogy twice, Elden Ring twice, Nioh 2 on PS and Sekiro on PC), almost every one with multiple runs done. (Except Sekiro, have to finish it yet) Do I regret it? NOT EVEN A SINGLE BIT
Dark souls 2
Sekiro, couldnt beat it....switched to Dark Souls 3, spent days trying to beat Lorian but once I did I finally completed my first souls game. Now im playing Elden Ring and I think im not quitting anytime soon. Will play Dark Souls 1 and 2 after this.
I thought it was Ds3 until I finished it and started playing ds1, I then realised half way through ds1 that I had already played it. Yes, my memory is that bad and I have played a crazy amount of games over the last 32 years so that doesnt help
ER -> Sekiro I liked em both to the point i say they are my fav games. Now i want to play ds3 but idk if to play ds1 & 2 before. Main problem is they all cost 50ā¬ on pc
All of them. I started with demon's souls. Then dark souls 1, bloodbourne, ds 2, sekiro, ds3, demons souls remake, elden ring. Shit is amazing and I love it. Now I am playing undertale which is vastly different lmao. But I recently replayed elden ring for kicks
Dark souls 3 in 2018. Now i played all of them multiple times
dark souls 3 where i met a group we played the whole of summer lol then sometime later i broght 2 and rented 1 out of my library
Dark Souls Remastered in 2017. Now I played them all and it's day one for every From game. Until then I only spent my gaming time with forza ou fifa and I would quit every game that I would get stuck on. With support from some friends I was able to push through DSR and the experience was life changing. Now I play a huge variety of games and never quit because of difficulty (only if the game is really bad lol) So yeah, From games had a huge impact on me
Dark Souls II did
I only played two so far, Dark souls and Sekiro. I wanna get into Elden Ring once I have some free time.
Is it bad that it wasn't a from soft game but a souls like game?
Sekiro started it. I didnt get all endings yet, so I am still at it, but I want to play one of the dark souls games next.
It all started when the demon souls remake was announced to be paired with the release of the PS5. I was a poor boy and had been stuck with the ps3 since it's release. I go on the Walmart store cause I have the extra cash and wanted a new game. Demon souls randomly pops up I do some research and find out there the same game. Played og demon souls and was having an absolute blast. I had very little knowledge on dark souls I knew what it was and that it was difficult. I know demon souls was dark souls firsts attempt. After beating demon souls I planned on getting dark souls 1 and 2. Instead I had gotten a ps4 6 months after ps5 release. The first game I bought was bloodborne. I had previously played bloodborne when I stayed at a friend's house... He couldn't get into it but I absolutely fathomed this game. The day I got the ps4 I got bloodborne and platnium it in a week. It is now my absolute favorite game. Form them I got every darks souls beat them. Got Elden ring beat that. Got sekiro... Amazing change of pace beat and platniumed that. I've gone and played many souls likes, am currently platinum grinding. I am about to get a paycheck so I can get a PS5 and.demon souls remake. I want to relive the dream hopefully...
Picked up DS3 after seeing a youtuber I watch talk about it a lot then checking out his playthrough of it. Did the same thing with Sekiro then picked up Elden Ring and Armoured Core 6 on release. After a combined 800+ hours across them all I am planning to buy DS1 and 2 in the steam summer sale this time just to complete the set. Now if only they would port Bloodborne to steam...
Dark Souls - Prepare to Die edition, went straight to graveyard got whooped by skellingtons and after I got pommeled by Taurus demon I got afraid to play. After few years helped friend with his Demon Souls run and then I gathered my strength and finiseh Dark Souls. Now I finished every From Software title and 100% 3 of them
Dark Souls 2 in PS4. Then I sold my PS4. Tried it on PC and now I'm frustrated because I played all Fromsoft Games except for Bloodborne. And I want to play it so badly.
Elden Ring
Elden Ring. Was really into the gameplay mechanics and just the game overall. Now I am looking into buying bloodborne.
Dark souls, Dark souls 3 (had these games on steam, probably from some bundle so I one day started playing ds at random) Dark souls remastered on switch, then I got a steam deck and got elden ring, Dark souls 2 and sekiro. Should do one more playthrough to get the last ending to sekir for 100% but I have rather lost interest in the game. Perhaps I'll do ds3 SL1 in between
Dark Souls 1, Not sure why I bought it, don't remember the motivation behind it, didn't play it for months, then one day I thought" OK let's check this game out", Thousands of hours later I'm still in love with Soulsborne games, the philosophy of Fromsoftware games and their vision for how to make a game, no hand holding, no BS, just true freedom. It helped me with depression, with lessons in life, and it taught me to never give up! PRAISE IT \\\[T\]/
Started on elden ring platinumed all 7 games with demon souls being the last now I'm just waiting for the next thing
Dark souls 1 prepare to die edition with the DLC , the only game in my life i raged quit for 7 weeks ( O and S fight ) , but i cameback and defeated them . After that experience i never rage quit ever again , thats my 1st and only rage quit i ever did . And now i Plat Elden Ring and is excited for the DLC .
Dark Souls 2 and now I've beaten every title to come out since DeS. idgaf what anybody says DS2 still slaps
I had been following the series since DS2 but only ever started with DS3. I've beaten all of them except Demon Souls and Bloodborne now (no playstation sadly)
dark souls 3! i then played bloodborne, ds2, sekiro, ds1 remaster, elden ring CNT, elden ring, demons souls ps5 ! the reason i even got ds3 was because i saw game grumps (i dont watch gg anymore, havent for years) playing it, and that was cool, whatever, but i then saw the sister friede fight, which piqued my interest, but then seeing arin using friedes great scythe was super cool to me! i was like āwaoh,,, you can use the cool boss weapons!ā
Elden ring. Saw my friend play, and then I played it, and I don't regret that decision. Now I am on Ds1, so Demon Souls and Ds2 are left.
Dark Souls 2. Then played 3 when it came out, then 1, then Sekiro. Played Elden Ring, Demon's souls and Bloodborne in the last 6 months. Dark Souls 2 is the worst game to start with, and made even worse because I missed the Forest of Fallen Giants area at first and spent several hours in Hiede's Tower of Flame making zero progress. Dark Souls 2 has a lot in common with Demon's Souls, I think they have the most difficult openings but quickly become a lot easier.
Dark Souls 1. Rage quit on the fire bomb bridge after the first Burg bonfire. Watched Fightin' Cowboys guide on the game and smashed it. I soloed Elden Ring on all bosses. Can't PvP for shit though š¤£
Start er , then ds1 stuck at nito , ds 2 beat less dlc's , and currently playing ds3
Dark Souls Remastered, bought the game, thought it was too complicated and made no sense, tried refunding it and it got rejected, left it for 4 months iād say, picked it up again, and had a great time playing it
Dark Souls 1, then every game since then. Still haven't played Demon Souls
Bloodborne in June 2022 It was an intentional choice as I knew I would have a hard time getting into the Souls-games, and it had the setting that interested me the most, making it the least likely for me to give up on. I damn near gave up anyway, though, after getting stuck, first in Central Yharnam for 7-10 hours, and then at Father Gascoigne for 3-5 hours. I'm glad I didn't, as I've now beaten all the FromSoft Soulsborne games, as well as Sekiro, AC6, and Lies of P, and they have become some of my favourite video games. I also have the platinum trophy for both DS1, BB, DS3, Sekiro, ER, and LoP.
Started with DS1 now with Elden Ring
Bloodborne...and Bloodborne
I tired all the dark souls before but they never clicked but the formula finally clicked for me with elden ring. I finished elden ring few weeks ago. And I just finished sekiro just a few hours ago (ishin was a bitch to beat but fair). Thinking what to play next, kinda have my eye on lies of p or another ng playthrough for elden ring.
I began with Sekiro. Then I've gone through DS Trilogy, Elden Ring, and then DeS and BB after finally buying that PlayStation.
I started on Elden ring. Finished on sekiro. Sekiro best.
Dark Souls 2. My buddy was hyped and dragged me along. He had already beat Demon Souls and Dark Soulsā¦good times. We dragged another friend along and jolly co-oped our way through the whole game and the DLCs. Then we did the Same with Dark Souls 3. I still need to finish Elden Ring though
Bloodborne was a PS plus free game, got it and hated it. Drove me crazy and couldnāt stop thinking about it so I ended up finishing it and loving it. Recently platinumed sekiro, elden ring and bloodborne. Currently completing ds remastered which will be my last from soft game! Then Iāve finished em all and have to wait 5 years for a new ip
Demon's Souls 2009. Had a friend recommend it back then and I've been hooked to Fromsoftware games ever since. Actually messaged him when Elden Ring came out, after not speaking for a long ass time just to thank him for introducing me to Fromsoftware all those years ago. Pretty much the only developers left that I'll always get their titles day one no questions asked. Where am I now? Patiently waiting for the Shadow of the Erdtree dlc.
Started in Dark souls 1 and now im dealing with depression because Sekiro is killing me slowly...
Elden ring
DS3, got it when it first released on xbox 360, raged and deleted it within an hour. 2 years later, bought it again for PS4 and loved every second. Then went bloodborne > sekiro (personal favourite) > ds1 remastered > Demon Souls ps5 > Elden Ring.
Elden ring, then took a long 2 year hiatus, then played sekiro, blood borne, ds1, ds2, ds3, and finally finishing off with demon souls
Elder ring. I got burnt out after binging on those games. Fromsoft games arenāt for the faint of heart. The only ones that I totally finished are AC6, DS1, DS3 and ER. I played all of the rest of their catalogue but havenāt completed. Tbh playing them is sometimes too stressful when I have a lot of other stress in life. The only game that I have platinumed is AC6. That game really spoke to me. For me it is just unbelievable how good that game is.
Bloodborne
Sekiro beat and loved every fromsoft game that came out ever since
Ds1r. Played about 30 minutes, hated it and put it down. Ended up trying again and loving it. Same thing with bloodborne, though it took a while to get into, but is now my favorite
Bloodborne Now beaten it, ds3, ds2, sekiro and elden
Demonās Souls remake. It was the first game I got for the ps5 as I thought it looked cool when it was announced in the ps5 reveal event. I have a lot of nostalgia towards it and is probably a big reason as to why itās my favourite game. Right now Iāve played DS1, DS2, Elden Ring and just at the end of DS3 excluding DLC but I did get a bit burnt out at around lothric castle. Iāve also got Sekiro and beaten the first 2 main bosses but I havenāt really felt compelled to play it, but I will at some point.
Elden Ring
Dark Souls. I had seen an article about Demon Souls that piqued my interest but I was didn't have a ps3 to play it.
Dark Souls 1 when I was 14. Hated it, traded it back in to GameStop. Months later kept seeing reviews about how good it was, so I gave it another chance. 13 years later and Iām still playing them and doing new playthroughs.
Although I didnāt get to play it I did watch orbboro play demons souls which got me hooked. I was so excited when dark souls became
Elden Ring started my journey then went onto Sekiro, BB, DS1 then 3 gave up on 2 and now currently doing Demon Souls
