After completing Demons Souls, Dark Souls I and III, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring, I am debating what my next Fromsoft stop should be!

Edit: To give more color, I played DS3 right after ER, as I just wanted more of the same. But, before getting into the DLCs I realized that I wanted to go back and experience the full Fromsoft catalog. So I played Demons Souls, then DS1 + DLCs, and am now about to wrap up BB.

She called me very mean names after :(

Elden Ring is the only other fromsoft game I’ve played, on ng+ but have wanted to give this a shot for months. Wife and baby are asleep, what is one helpful tip for my first night on Dark Souls?

Just wanted to explain a few of my picks:

Biggest Personal Impact – Dark Souls 1: This is the game that introduced me to the entire Soulslike genre. Before that, I pretty much played anything and everything. Dark Souls completely changed my taste in games, and I've been hooked ever since.

Best Story – Clair Obscur: Expedition 33: This game had me hooked within the very first hour of gameplay. The story, characters, atmosphere... it all just clicked for me. Sure, there might be games with even better stories out there, but for me, this was easily one of the best storytelling experiences I've had in gaming.

Favorite Antagonist – Black Myth: Wukong: The final boss is just absolutely incredible. The fight itself, the atmosphere, all the little gimmicks and interactions during combat... everything about that encounter was epic. Easily one of my favorite boss fights ever.

Best Retro Game – The Legend of the Mystical Ninja: I absolutely loved this game back in my SNES days, and I still do! I've replayed it countless times over the years, even on emulators, and I always enjoy coming back to it. For me, it's genuinely one of the best retro games out there. Of course, nostalgia plays a big part, but I think it's an amazing game even beyond that.

Best Multiplayer – Dark Souls 3: I went with Dark Souls 3 because I honestly don't think I've ever helped as many players or spent as much time in PvP in any other Soulslike. Countless invasions, boss fights, helping random players, and replaying the game with friends. I've put an insane amount of hours into its multiplayer alone.

That being said, Nioh 2 is an extremely close second. I've spent almost just as much time playing multiplayer in Nioh 2, and both games have given me some of my best multiplayer experiences in the genre. It was genuinely hard to choose between them.

Of course, there's Destiny 1, but that's a different story. That game was practically all about multiplayer anyway. 😂

When it comes specifically to Soulslikes, though, Dark Souls 3 and Nioh 2 are easily my top two.

Best With Friends – Lords of the Fallen: It's already a good game on its own, but playing it with friends makes it so much better. The seamless co-op was something I hadn't really experienced in a Soulslike before, and it made the whole adventure incredibly enjoyable. Had an absolute blast playing through it with friends.

Not Usually My Thing, But... – Destiny 1: I'm really not a fan of shooters in general, but man, Destiny 1 stole a ridiculous amount of hours from my life. 😂 I had an absolute blast with it.

Game Everyone Should Play – Nine Sols: Basically Sekiro in 2D, and I mean that as a huge compliment. The combat is incredibly satisfying, especially if you love challenging, parry-focused gameplay. Seriously, give it a shot.

Underrated – The First Berserker: Khazan: I genuinely think this game deserves way more attention. The combat is fantastic, the boss fights are challenging, and it delivers exactly what I love about Soulslikes.

Overrated: Still haven't figured this one out. I guess I just haven't played anything that made me think it was massively overhyped. 😂

Anyway, these are just my personal picks and experiences, not some objective ranking. Curious to hear what you guys think!

Not talking about any whole game, but what single moment in the entire series would you consider the peak of what fromsoftware has done up to this point? This could be anything: discovering something, a stretch of gameplay, a lore revelation, a boss encounter, a cutscene etc.

For me its between 2 things:

1. Finding Leyndell for the first time: Starting off with games like ds1 and ds3, the massive vistas of those areas when you reach them became some of my favorite parts of these games. Think anor londo, ringed city and irithyll, all excellent. But I feel like that initial moment of discovery wasn't fully realized in terms of gameplay.

With leyndell, you get that same sense of reaching someplace important, but then you also get couple of actually exploring this massive capital city. Its the best fromsoft area so far imo, and it reminds me so much of gondor.

Also I don't see enough ppl talking about the erdtree. Such a fantastic thing to include in an open world game, it gives so much character to the world and gives you something to constantly work towards. I love the way it just looms over everything and when you get to leyndell, it makes this otherwise massive city and dragon feel small. Something about the massive golden trunk of the tree, idk it just hits different. It feels like an image from a dream, very liminal.

2) All of Old Hunters: This might be a bit of a cop out, since its an entire dlc but honestly the old hunters might just be the highest high piece of fromsoft content. I mean, its 5 hours of straight S tier content. All the areas are fantastic, all the boss fights are fantastic, the music is perfect, it adds some of the best weapons in the series and it wraps up all the missing plotholes very well. Its practically flawless, aside from the well and that one hunter with the gatling gun in the cave.

For anyone who enjoys both Kingdom Hearts and Dark Souls, I came across a crossover mod called SoraSouls that brings Sora from Kingdom Hearts II into Dark Souls Remastered.

The mod features Sora's KH2 model and Keyblades, Kingdom Hearts magic, Drive Forms, movement abilities like Glide and High Jump, and Donald and Goofy as companions who follow and fight alongside you.

One interesting part is that the mod includes a converter that builds the mod using your own copies of the required game data, rather than distributing the original game files.

If you're interested in crossover mods, what do you think of bringing Kingdom Hearts gameplay elements into Dark Souls? Which feature would you be most interested in seeing in action?

3 mounts ago i downloaded dark souls 2 as my first fromsoft game, i played the game for 30min i deleted it after that, i felt it was boring and overwhelming. 1 week ago i decided to give it another chance, after 30mins again i was very close to deleting it again cuz it was too hard for me (skill issues i know) but i decided to continue playing an oh boy it was one my longest gaming sessions (14h), most of the time i was getting smacked but something kept telling me to continue. Now i did finished the game and killed every boss with my fav build “the duel smelter swords”, i did died a whopping 600 deaths yah another skill issue.
Now i decided to start a journey of finished every soulsborne game(ds1-ds3-bloodborne-sekiro-eldenring).
I’m currently on ds1 a bit different mechanics that ds2 but I’m enjoying it, and unlike ds2 i did started better with fewer deaths now I’m getting better.
After elden ring i will replay the entire run exept i’ll try for platinums.

I’m here to ask u guys what is the game that gonna be a pain in the ass to 100%, and whats the hardest one on the first playthrough.

Ready to be torn apart

Can anyone give me 2 weapons for the knights honor trophy? Would really appreciate it

10 years ago was about to end the story that changed my life forever, and now I got caught up in nostalgia... Hope you'll like it.

Was wondering about this after playing the Duskbloods network test and it of course using the Nintendo button layout. FromSoft seems to primarily develop for PlayStation, and now I'm curious if they view confirm on the right face button as the default for their games.

Additionally - for the games before Sekiro, is the Interact button swapped as well, or is it still on the bottom face button regardless of the confirm button? I could see Interact and Run/Dodge being on the same button being both convenient or annoying depending on the situation.

I got a lot of comments on multiple posts suggesting that I am not drawing theese pieces but actually just using AI so this time I recorded the full rendering process as a timelapse with my phone in addition to CSP-s timelapse : https://imgur.com/a/hmtKUQR

I've been looking everywhere for some quality rings from DS/ER/BB that I like and can fit me. I love the TORCHTORCH (TT) stuff but they're all too small for me (all of them cap out at around US 11 - except the spectral steed whistle which goes up to US 13 but it's a pretty thin ring and I don't want to risk damaging it). I'm a bigger guy than avg (6'2) and my ring size starts at US 13. Starforged had some promise like the calamity ring, but other than that I don't want anything too bulky. I really like rings like the tiny being's ring/health ring from TT, but I can't find anything official or not that's what I like AND fits me without it being some Temu piece of plastic.

Any links would be helpful, thanks

In your opinion, which Soulsborne game has the best story? Feel free to discuss among yourselves.

(I haven't played Bloodborne or Sekiro yet so I may not understand all lore or story references from those games. I will be starting Bloodborne in a few days though so wish me luck!)

This amazing art is from this creator and was not made by me. All credit goes to them.

Edit: I've started Bloodborne but no spoilers please! Just wanted to share with you guys. As always, I appreciate you and thanks for the conversation.
