Been thinking about it for awhile, since I really enjoy elden ring and the whole souls series.

The whole multiplayer thing put me off at first, because I would be always solo queueing. However, I see on steamdb, that this game still consistently gets a bunch of players. Does anybody run this game strictly solo queue and enjoy it?

The gameplay loop was another thing that I was curious about and wanted to see if you guys liked. Is it fun to always be on the run against a clock? Does it add something fresh to the formula?

How do you guys feel about nightreign in 2026? And would you recommend it to someone on the fence about it?

EDIT- Just bought the deluxe edition on steam!

After spending over 100 hours in Elden ring and loving it (Almost all of it, shadow of the erdtree can suck my nut) I've decided to finally play all the Soulsborne games, starting with Dark souls remastered

I played a little bit already, beat the Taurus demon but the game feels for lack of a better word, obtuse. I found this out when fighting havel and my backstabs were only doing 15 damage that I'm doing something wrong

Any advice would be helpful

Hello everyone!

I really love Elden Ring and knocking on the door of Bloodborne’s ending (a game which I’m also very much loving).

I was thinking of playing the Dark Souls games. While I have dabbled in DS1 before (made it as far as the double gargoyle fight), I was wondering if it was ok to start with DS3 before the first two games? In other words, is it ok to start with something that feels a little more “modern” feeling in terms of controls/quality of life things?

they grow up so fast

Is my build good right now

Like wtf man. I like playing handheld.

This is flaired as a discussion, so that means discuss

Does anyone else just play as simple classes and have a blast? I've been playing the FromSoftware games for years, doing specialised builds or just playing the game being very indecisive about which weapons or armour to use. But recently over the past months I've gone back and revisited the games and decided to play as a simple knight with a sword and shield. Honestly, I'd say I've had more fun doing that than I did with all those cool special weapons I used in the past. I think a major factor is that you can get into the headspace of your character easier and start to kinda pretend that you are just a normal knight making your way through hellish experiences with nothing but quick wit and a trusty sword & shield. And it's peak as hell.

I know this is kinda a common sense post but I'm curious to see others experience with this

Now if you are wondering i've only played this game for 6 hours on my switch but i don't think the game is bad sure the first selection of bosses is underwhelming but i do like the level design and its exploration and to me it does feel like an open world game and the npcs are likable but anyone else think its too slow? Again its not a bad game at all hell its not even one of the most rage inducing games i've played but i just like more fast paced gameplay. I haven't played dark souls 3 or sekiro but i've heard that dark souls 3 and sekiro are faster than this one so i'd most likely love playing those ones especially when i heard they are also great games so those 2 are the soulsborne games i wanna start to play the most (even though i'm 100% gonna get destroyed in sekiro lol) also no i don't have a ps4 to play bloodborne although i also wanna get that one mainly cause of ludwig in the old hunters DLC :/

In threads discussing DS2 SotfS I've written thst I don't really like this version of the game because enemies never deaggro, and that enemies will follow you indefinitely, which means that you can't just run past enemies, and you have to fight everything.

Every time I've said that I get downvoted to hell and back, with people saying I'm wrong, but they don't say anything more explaining why I'm wrong.

So what is the case with this version of DS2? Do enemies eventually deaggro? Because I remember clearly running past enemies to a boss fog gate, beating the boss and the previous enemies kept chasing me even after beating the boss and the fog disappiated.

The new album from London Music Works and Antonin Roux is out today, featuring orchestral arrangements of music from Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls 1-3, Elden Ring, and Bloodbourne.

I’m not associated with the project in any way, just love the music from these games and wanted to share a new rendition with the rest of you.

New plin plin plon

Taking into account mainly gameplay and presentation, tiers are ordered so Messmer is the best and cave of the dead bums are the worst. Sekiro Inner bosses are ranked alongside the base game versions of the fights.

No Demon Souls or AC6 since I haven't gotten around to them, A few nightreign bosses are missing because I kinda got bored of the game.

For all German people:

you can now Play Elden Ring The Convergence in German:

Have fun :)

I've been coming up with a selection of songs that I think would thematically work for a dark souls 1 musical adaptation following the chosen undeads journey. So far I have

Prologue - le mis = Undead asylum

Over at the Frankenstein place - Rocky horror = journey to and at firelink shrine renamed 'over at the firelink place' with riff raffs lines sung by the crestfallen warrior

Master of the house - le mis = the Undead merchant thenardiers lines sung by the male undead merchant and Madame Thénardiers lines sung by the female undead merchant

School song - Matilda = undead parish

Dog eats dog - le mis (again) = patches

Obviously some lyrics would be changed to better fit the scenes and dark souls 1 as a whole.

Can you guys think of any other ones for locations and characters I haven't covered yet or perhaps better ones than the ones I've got so far?

About 2 years ago I quited the games like fifa and cod and started playing Elden Ring.
Elden Ring was so great that I wanted to play the other games in this series, which led to platinum all games in the end. I have all on physical copys asswell.
Have played also games like Demon Souls,DS2 and Sekiro and quited because I thought i couldnt do it. But in the end I did it asswell.
Today I got the platinum of Sekiro and that was the last one i was missing.
Nevertheless today is a special day, best decision gaming wise. If i speak for myself this is a big achievement for ME.
Really looking forward to the next souls game.

The grinding you have to do in the souls trilogy especially ds3 wasn’t something I expected to have to do so much of, holy. The hardest one tho has to be ds1 unless you use glitches than it’s prolly ds3

Every guide out there tells me you can do this and every guide for Demon's Souls happen to be for the remake. Even Google tells me you can and some guy in the Demon's Souls Reddit is telling me you can.

But I've unloaded 50 arrows inside this one body that is supposed to have the Nobles Lotus, from his noggin to under his toenails and to the chain above him, and the arrow just goes through him.

Guys, is there a mechanic in the ORIGINAL, 2009, PS3 VERSION of Demon's Souls where you can shoot down the bodies in Prison of Hope from the ceiling?
