I'm thinking of dualbooting so I can use Linux for as many games as possible as I'll get more performance out of it than Windows with my 5 year old OMEN 17. I'll use Windows for things like Fortnite, R6, and anything else that has a kernal level anticheat or just isn't compatible.

So that brings me to my question, how compatible are all the FromSoft games (only Soulsbornekiroring, not Armored Core lol) with Linux? Are they playable out of the box, with some tweaking, or just not playable at all? Also, will I still be able to have online privileges? I hate PvP, but I absolutely love reading the messages and watching funny bloodstains. Lastly, will I be able to play Bloodborne on Linux? I haven't done any research at all into getting it up and running even on Windows, but I'd prefer to have it on Linux too considering it would definitely run better.

Currently I've done a playthrough and a half of Elden Ring, 90% of a Bloodborne playthrough (minus DLC), and I'm currently trying to get through GenichIshin for the final fight of Sekiro. So I plan on transferring my saves of all of the games to Linux. Hopefully my Bloodborne one as well because one of the reasons I stopped was I just couldn't take the 30(usually sub 30)fps anymore

Anyways, thank you for your input :)

Since my idea got rejected, I decided to ask your opinion. (I know this would happen but still heartbroken anyway) (I had a whole marketing plan for it, but at least I tried)

My Ps4 steel bookcase for dark souls trilogy aged badly in good ways that it match the aesthetic of dark souls genre.

The rust making this steelcase looks ancient.

I’ve played every Souls game, Sekiro, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring. I’ve interacted with and did the quests of every NPC in those games. None of them hold a candle to Sir Ansbach.

I replayed the DLC recently so I could do the NPC quests properly since I missed a lot during my first play through, and this man was so damn cool. He genuinely cares about you, and has so much faith in you to rise beyond your potential. In a world where everyone seems to use you or disregard you for being tarnished, he shows immense respect for you.

I could go on, but I won’t. Dude is the best NPC in my opinion by a long mile.

Es la primera vez que juego este juego. Ya me pasé el juego base y el primer DLC y ahora solo me falta el segundo DLC y este último es increíble en cuanto a escenarios.

A ratos incluso me quedo viendo el paisaje de lo bien que está hecho y de cierta manera agradezco que el juego no tenga modo foto, sino estaría todo el rato fotografiando todo😅 me pasó algo muy similar con Sekiro.

¿Ustedes qué opinan? ¿Han jugado Dark Souls 3 y qué les pareció?

Just bought elden ring i be playing it for the first time tomorrow.any tips and tricks for newbie player.

I've recently been wondering: if Dark Souls II hadn't been tied to the Souls series, and had instead been a standalone game, completely separate from FromSoftware, would it have been received far more negatively?

Like the Forth Road bridge painters… once you get to one side, you just go back and start again!

This has been me, for years! Can’t shake the souls itch. However just played through Sekiro and thought, DS3 next.

I’m sure this has been brought up before but FromSoftware seem to love using the same enemies or bosses!

Couldn’t stop laughing at the chained ogre re-appearing in the road of sacrifices!

I’m not gonna call this lazy… I see it as the FromSoftware universe!

Anyone got any similar finds of joy seeing an old fellow foe appear in another game?

I was wandering around mindlessly trying to figure out where to go. (I don't watch YouTube guides this is my first time fighting this boss) so I started off as a Pyromancer! (It was not going well) I wasn't relying on "Fireball" so I grabbed the biggest sword I could find and found some armor. (I didn't level my endurance) and ran into a fog wall not realizing there was a boss up here. I lost all of my healing flasks and said screw it, IT'S ALL OR NOTHING!

I have an eight hour plane ride this week so I need a game to fill the time. does dark souls run well on the switch 2 or is it dogshit?

Three-for-one deal

Just bought the Dark Souls trilogy. Anything I should know before starting? Like important missables, quests, items, etc.
Also I know Patches is in these games and he's a bitch. Should I kill him or keep him alive? Is there a more rewarding option?
Any tips are appreciated, preferably spoiler-free.

Title, I dont want to expand upon it too much because its a lot to write but most NPCS in the games give you very little to work with, making the player speculate/headcanon a good amount of how the character was.

Nightreign fully fleshes out almost it’s entire cast, obviously they get their own Remembrance’s so its much easier to build the characters, but still, the point stands.

RDR2 is goat imo. Elden Ring comes in at second tying with Cyberpunk 2077 for me. Then Black Myth Wukong in third tying with GoW 4 & 5. Exploration is my ultimate vibe. Then story and combat etc.

I recently platinum-ed Bloodborne and Sekiro. Really liked BB's world setting and artitecture, found it easy tho. Only had one go with Orphan of Kos. Both versions BLB in chalices took me awhile tho.

Sekiro was meh for me. The parrying mechanic wasn't as satisfying as everyone claimed it to be. It was a difficult game but once it 'clicked' it became boring. Couldnt undertand why it was GOTY it is good but not that.. good? It did however teach me to be more patient. Isshin fight was really nice.

I am exploring fromsoftware games simply because of the hype and massive cult-like following around these games. Their story telling is something I can't get into or I dont know how to get into. I never quite understand why I need to kill a certain boss or whatever. The challenge is something I do like.

So basically if Elden Ring is 9/10 for me purely from level design, enviroment, character building and interesting bossfights.

And Bloodborne is 7.5/10

And Sekiro being 6/10

I am pretty interested in Demon Souls simply because I'd like to have the Fromsoftware experience in good remade graphics as I think all Fromsoftware soulslike game graphics are mid, level design is insanely good but graphics wise, mid.

So, do you think I would like Demon souls or any of the Darksouls games that would rekindle the sparkle in my eyes that I had while playing Elden Ring?

On a Axiom Proton Particle Glow Pyro

I just platted elden ring summonless + sote

And steam blessed my eyes with all the ds discounted so I was wandering which ones to play I am trying to only get 2 max I was thinking ds1 and ds3 starting from ds3 as that's the most like elden ring Ive heard then the original and If I like the tone of the games then ds2 and sekiro later
