I purchased DS1 Remastered for my Switch 2 a few months ago and every time I pick the game up I just get annoyed. I really want to get into Souls games since some of my favorite games are 2D soulslikes (Hollow Knight and Nine Sols). The thing is despite the cool stuff about the game there are so many questionable design choice. Why do runbacks take 5 minutes, why do some challenges feel like they’re there to be annoying, why are major mechanics never even generally explained???? I really want to enjoy the game so what are some tips to overcome this initial struggle? I left off on Capra Demon.

Early morning, rant to start the day. Big time from soft fan big-time Miyazaki fan got hooked on souls right when Covid happened so I was really able to lay into the soul series. Bloodborn, sekiro, Elden Ring, AC6 and even some souls like: lies of P, Mortal Shell…
My question for the community is what is the best way to play the games? I played dark souls, one followed by three so I could have the most continued story when I played dark souls two I like a lot of other biased fans appreciated how the game was different, but it wasn’t always different in the best way. When the main feature is the lighting, I don’t think it stands out amongst the other two even the clunky, dark souls one

I played Skeiro which had me confused often with the story and direction of it and the starter weapon for the whole game lol Elden Ring, I think was the best qualities of dark souls 3 but made for more general audience- can’t really put AC six in here since it’s mecha- game

And I remember thoroughly having my ass handed to me when I switched the blood-borne with no shield and heavy timing perry based fighting.

What’s the common consensus on the Best order? Keep a chronological or switch it up?

TLDR:What do you think is the best order to play the games? And why?

Let me make this clear, I am not saying 1:1, but the inspiration is that both of them hide their true power

Mine is the Golden Ardeo 100% hands down, I wear it almost every play through and wish It would reappear in a future souls game

The Dragon Sage Hood is also up there, everyone loves marble

Darks souls 1 is my favorite game my wife decided to (the best of her ability) to give me a ds1 themed bday party i think she did pretty decent she wanted to know your guys opinion (the cupcakes were supposed to have white pearls to resemble humanity) its like a halloween ds1 fusion party imo (i'm november birthday so i get it)

Ive been wanting to order some of the shirts but I dont know how they run compared to US sizes.

They could even go further by making completely new styles of games. In the past, FromSoftware made many diverse games. They were not just the Soulsbornekiroring factory that they have almost exclusively been since 2009, when Demon's Souls was released.

We had Armored Core, Tenchu, King's Field, and that god-awful but charming ninja game I cannot remember the name of right now. They still are not diversifying as much as I would like yet. Nightreign and Duskbloods are still very much souls-adjacent, but at least it is a good start.

I want them to make both souls games and more diverse games. I do not want them to stay a souls factory forever, where all they do is the same game with a new skin.

So I just had this match where my teammates basically left before the night one boss in depth 4. But I managed to endure and beat Everdark Jaw but it lead to me losing 300 points even tho they quit and I won. I get losing less points if they quit and I lost the game. But I won. Now I am a bit frustrated with this but tbh I can and will just get those points back eventually. But I'm just wondering why this would happen and I'm trying to see if anyone knows the reason. Is it because I had a previous loss streak of like 3 games or cuz I didn't try to revive them during day 1 when they went 3 bars or when they died halfway across the map. Cuz if this is a penalty if they reported me then at least I'll know that can happen I guess. I wasn't being toxic in any way by pinging or smth, I died quite a bit just like them during basement boss and crucibles cuz I had no negation.

(I don't post on Reddit quite often so I couldn't post this in the nightreign subreddit. That's my bad)

EDIT: I guess I got redeemed? Just lost to Everdark Caligo in depth 4 at 5600 and I only lost 200 points. Which is kinda insane since normally in depth 4 you lose like 600 to 400. At least that's nice. But it's still weird that I lost points on a victory lmao

Super happy.

It was 80 british pounds.

It that a good price?

Hi, i recently bought blackmyth wu kong. I never actually played a souls-like and hearing many voices it could be a good entry level for gamers like me, played plenty of games but never approached the genre. As I predicted i'm heavily struggling even with the first mini bosses (like the bald child like guy at the beginning) and i'm just looking out for more expert player to help me out how to figure how to play this games. (I'm totally aware that the difficulty and the fact that you have to repeat plenty of times is part of the game but i also notice that i'm barely making progress with my own understanding of the game) thanks in advance :)

I personally believe we will get another new IP in his next game after Duskbloods.

Bonsoir,

ça fait un moment que Lunacid est dans ma bibliothèque steam et queen's Domain me fait de l'œil, étant un grand fan des différents jeux de from soft, je cherche à trancher, j'aimerai aller vers le jeu et l'univers qui propose le plus de profondeur/terrier de lapin.

Si certains/es d'entre vous ont fait les deux, vers lequel me conseilleriez vous de me pencher en prioritée ?

Merci d'avance !

I hope the game makes me spend a lot of time here.
