Hope you're having a great day.
Sekiro and Bloodborne are tied as my favorite games of all time but compared to the other fromsoft games i think i like them more because there is much less variety i feel like i always get overwhelmed in the other games
I can understand that. I’m kind of boring with weapons in these games. I find something I like usually pretty early on and use it to beat the game.
Nice video, always amazing hear from vets of the series. Started with BloodBorne, went to Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2 didn’t finish it, it just didn’t click. Elden Ring my latest so far. BB and ER have to be my most favorite so far
BloodBorne seems like it’s the title besides Elden ring that pulled a lot of people in. Elden ring really just is such a good game though.
You can kinda grind in Sekiro by collecting all prayer beads and healing gourd seeds. Also if you collect three dragon mask pieces, you can dumb skill points into attack power.
Good point
my order of first played so far has been
1. Elden Ring
2. Bloodborne
3. Demons Souls PS5
4. Dark Souls Remastered
5. Darks Souls ll SOTFS (currently playing)
6. Dark Souls lll (after sotfs)
7. Sekriro (after DS3)
and Bloodborne has easily been the best, its my number 1 game of all time.
As I continue to go through the series I still sneak in an hour or two of bloodborne because its that good. I've always thought that the game you start this amazing series with should be matched with your playstyle in other games. For example, i like high mechanical skill and speed, Bloodborne fits that. Someone more methodical or slow will like DS1 / Demons Souls. Open world enjoyers should go with Elden Ring. Honestly, you really cant go too wrong with picking any of them first, out of the ones ive played they have all lived up to the hype.
Playing DS3 after (or before even) Elden Ring is a good choice too
I would personally suggest Elden Ring or DS3 before Bloodborne, since BB can be very punishing to new players, especially in terms of Blood Vial and Bullet Farming.
Especially when they dont know about say the cum dungeon.
I played ER, Sekiro, BB, DS3, DS1, DS2. By the time I came to BB, shit did not phase me, and ER, Sekiro just push aggression and BB just takes the next level of aggression.
However a newcomer to BB would be afraid of Cleric, afraid of Gascgoine, afraid of BSB, and ay defensive and get rekt. In ER they will also get rekt, byt the replenishing healing just makes retries less agonizing imo.
Thats just my 2 cents.
Great video!
Well said. I always find it interesting how everyone tackled the souls series differently.
Keep going bro
My order: 1) og demons souls (beat) 2) dark souls 1 (quit after 1st bell), 3) dark souls 2 (picked bad class went to wrong area and quit)…
7 years pass
4) dark souls 3 (beat), 5) bloodborne (beat), 6) elden ring (beat), 7) back to ds1 (10 year old save will beat it soon), 8) next ds2, 9) will finish with Sekiro
I honestly had a difficult time with DS 2. I can't even remember if I beat it, but I know I was stuck on bosses left and right for some reason lol
I totally understand the need to walk away from thee titles for a while. The 10 year old save is pretty damn cool though.
@@lBakerl yep 10 year old save (when I stopped 8/18/2013) and now that I beat the game (5/5/2023). Crazy but I finally did it
I also love the fact I played them all in order, starting in 2010 with Demon's Souls as well.
Dad took my to town and went to Game, I just randomly picked it out, I had no idea what it would be like.
At first I couldn't work out why tf it was so difficult, but I absolutely loved it. I was so fucking bad back then, literally died constantly, it was like I'd never picked up a game before.
I was immediately hooked from then until Elden Ring... Cannot fucking wait for the DLC.
Right there with you. I think these games have helped me keep my love for gaming over the years. I get hyped every time a new one comes out.
I remember playing Demon's Souls first a long time ago on the PS3 when it was new. Liked it. Didn't get far. Then years later, I bought Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2. Still, I didn't get far or play much of them. It wasn't until recently this month I bought Bloodborne, Elden Ring, Sekiro and Dark Souls 3. For a while, I've been stuck playing a lot of retro games because I've been a gamer since the late 80s. Now that I have all the Soulsborne games, I'm willing to give them another try. I love hard games, so I guess the Soulsborne series are right up my alley.
Hope you’re having a good time with them.
@@lBakerl Actually I'm having a blast. I learned to take death as a learning experience to do better and try new strategies. I'm kind of bouncing back and forth between Bloodborne, Elden Ring and Sekiro. I'm very open to any tips that fans of the series may have.
@@chadgaul1681 for bloodborne just accept that at some point you’re going to have to farm blood vials. It’s not fun but it’s part of the game unfortunately. For Elden ring just don’t forget that if you get stuck on something you can always leave and level up a bit and come back stronger. And for Sekiro just remember that the majority of the stuff you learned from the other games do not work in this game. Once you realize that Sekiro is its own beast it gets a lot more enjoyable.
for me when i started to play i had a potato pc, so all i could do was ds PTDE and man i fell in love with everything the game had to offer ESPECIALLY the worled building with all the shortcuts.
since then i just had this thirst to experience the same thing so i would say i didnt care about the order to go about it.
SO, from my experience if you like ds1 you'll most likely like anything FromSoftware make.
For most players, especially if they're younger or did not play these games when they came out, I would argue that they play Elden Ring and Sekiro last. The main reason for this is that those games have much more fluidity allowing for good jumping and movement around the environment. It would feel like a step back or downgrade for most to play anything before that. I could see a lot of modern players complaining about the lack of teleportation in Dark Souls, until a certain point in the game at least.
I did Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3, Sekiro, and am on my first playthrough of Bloodborne now. Just got a PS4 just for the exclusives I want to play.
I think the combat in Bloodborne and Sekiro is closely related and most similar favoring aggression and mastery of the combat system. At first you suck, then get better, and by the end of the game few if any normal enemies and most elites are any issue.
Dark Souls will always be my favorite and I think those games should be played in order. The second one is much better than most give it credit for and it's reputation has sadly been ruined by memeing and people with low attention spans. The game is actually an earlier version of Elden ring, grant it with a few different mechanics and such. No BS. If you have played all the others you'll realize it.
For new players I would say play Sous plus Elden Ring together, it's basically Souls. Then the other two. Though Bloodborne can feel a bit aged now. It is a great game so far.
My only reasoning behind having them play the new titles first is that having to deal with sometimes clunky mechanics might turn them off on the series altogether.
Cool video and cool channel bro, keep it up! What's the 75 hard challenge all about?
Thanks dude. The 75 hard challenge is something I started and decided didn't want to make videos on anymore. Kept up the challenge though.
Elden Ring pulled me in, then I played Sekiro because it was new enough to be on par graphically with Elden Ring, then Dark Souls 3 and am currently stuck at Ludwig in Bloodborne and DS1 I just beat Seath
DS3 holds up decently graphicly. Then again, we dont really play these gems for the graphics now, do we?
@@ricklubbers7761 i love all of the games I’ve played so far, dark souls one may be one of my favorites. I just wanted something similar to elden ring graphically
Ive played all of them except Sekiro. I was first introduced to SoulsBorne games with Dark Souls 3 in 2016 then worked my way backwards to BB than DS1 then OG Demon Souls on PS3 then DS2 and ofc Elden Rimg and I have 100% them all. I have not played and don't plan on playing Sekiro because I am not really a fan of the setting.
Yeah the setting for Sekiro isn’t for everyone.
I agree with Bloodborne first. I have never completed the game. I haven't even gotten that far into it. All of Dark Souls games trained me to take my time, be methodical, follow patterns.
Bloodborne wants you to be aggressive to get your health back. I just can't reprogram myself to do that. I've tried many times to start over and I'll go back again because I love the aesthetic of the game, but I'm not sure I'll ever complete it. If I had played Bloodborne first, I probably wouldn't have had as hard a time with it.
Bloodborne is my last one. Just started playing it now. I agree that it is hard to overcome the programming from dark souls. I found playing through Sekiro that it's amazing how much you adapt by sticking to it just a bit. At first it was difficult in general, with some elite enemies and early bosses being very hard. But by the end of the game when you face the same elites and a repeat boss or two you're dumping on them. I can already see that happening with me in Bloodborne as I go on. Keep at it, you'll eventually re-wire yourself.
Then you would have it the other way around. That rally mechanic really became my comfortzone so playing DS 1-3 was difficult to say the least.
@@legi0n47x I want to. I really do. I'm just not in a souls mood atm. I get in moods of game types. I'm currently in an MMO mood, but that only usually lasts a few months.
I purchased Sekiro and played for an hour, but I wasn't in a Souls mood then either lol AND I still have to play the Demon's Souls remake haha
When I finally get back in that mood, I will have plenty to play! 🤣
@@ricklubbers7761 I really feel like when I finally beat Bloodborne it will become my favorite. The transforming weapons, the aesthetic of it all... I just have to get there.
Sekiro has a similar feel where I had to stop playing it like a dark souls game and play it like it was intended.
My play order was Darksouls, Darksouls 2, Bloodborne, Darksouls 3, Elden Ring, Demons souls(because I couldnt find a copy for like a year) and still havent played Sekiro but Im waiting for it to go on sale or be available thru the playstation plus thing...I REALLLLY wish they would remake DS2 in the DS3 engine and make it so it isnt so clunky and shitty...DS1 and Demons Souls are almost the same in engine and playstyle, they both were amazing to play, I actually speedran DS1 once for fun and that was insane...
Speedrunning always looks like such a cool thing to get into. I agree with DS2 feeling clunky. If it felt more fluid like DS3 it would definitely be an improvement.
@@lBakerl ds1 is the only one ubcan really speedrun on console so I picked it, you can skip the Bells , use the menu to pop 999 souls at once Nd get the lord vessle early, then basically go back and rush thru everything to get a wrongwarp to the Kiln, its suuuper tough to wrong warp for me at least. And yeah a non clunky DS2 Remake that ISNT scholar of the first sin in a better game engine would be PHENOMENAL bc DS2 wasnt a bad game, the engine was bad and the game was rushed thru development.
