My biggest advice is to stay the fuck away from the fanbase. Fromsoft has made some of my absolute favorite games of all time but damn is the community insufferable. It feels like everyone is immediately at each other's throats at even the slightest difference of opinion. Just play the games, overcome the challenge, and have fun.
Those people you're talking about are almost all just children being children. Any place online where people gather and talk will have kids acting a fool, or grown adults doing the same. What's more annoying than what you're describing is grown adults whining about it. Idk where the community gathers so maybe I'm missing something lol but I've only ever had positive experiences talking with other ppl who love these games. When someone acts dumb I just ignore them and give my time to the good ones, I recommend others do the same. Don't waste your time complaining about the ppl who suck b/c complaints won't change them, just be picky who u talk to or support. Just my 2 cents
What? Aha I’ve had the most positive experience getting into the series, I started with Elden ring started joining souls groups on Reddit and asking for tips and people just started dropping souls,weapons,rings, etc. especially when asking for help on a boss if they see I’m rocking a shit weapon they’ll just drop whatever to help out when I bring up my builds or favourite strats people don’t hassle me for being “wrong” or “dumb” for levelling the wrong stats or using different starts. Idk what your experience has been but I’d say it leans towards more positive than negative

Answer: get dark souls 1 and go into it blind, knowing nothing about the series. THATS how you should get into the souls series imo
Yep, this. DS1 blind, and try to push through that initial hurdle.
Guys, it's nostalgia. Dark Souls 1 is really outdated. I've also loved this game, but man, just no. Wanna start Souls? Just get Elden Ring. Or Dark Souls 3.
@@zerutal32 I played dark souls 1 for the first time about 3 years ago. Hadn't played it before then. Now, I still play dark souls 1 all the time, actually playing it now believe it or not lol if it's nostalgia it's nostalgia for the game which in my opinion is the best ever made. I respect your opinion but also respectfully disagree
That's how I got into it and I'm so glad
Yes i very much agree. This is the best definitive souls like experience for new players. It does not go easy on them and sets them the correct mindset
Weirdly enough I enjoyed DS2 > DS1. It had a marathon of easy bosses and spam of enemies in every location but once you expect it it becomes easy, locations are more interesting and colourful reminding more of Elden Ring’s open world aesthetic and the music is amazing.
@@robiocraft2383 i think you are psychically sick 😅
@@bamhamerI think you’re a fanboy
@@Sporkonafork1 of what? Good games? Definitely
It’s just opinion based and some can’t see how good something is and some can’t see how bad something is
@@KuminsU my opinion aside: ds2 is objectively inferior to ds1. That's consensus.
Ironically, Elden Ring is possibly the main game that got the most amounts of people into the Souls series (including me), but after playing most of the others I see your sentiment of why ER shouldn’t be your first Souls title, the gloriousness and bar of ER is so high that it’s hard to top.
Bloodborne needs a ps5 and PC version now its pretty much free money in sony pockets becuase the 30fps gets a little rough sometimes
We’ve been saying this for years💀
I honestly don’t get the hate the FPS gets. I think it’s fine. But I guess it could always be better.
@@cattlecooker953 i dont have a problem with 30fps i think its due to the framepacing of bloodborne being terrible
@@cattlecooker953 it's not bad, especially after playing for hours you barely notice anymore but it's always jarring to get back into Bloodborne and have to adjust for hours before finding it playable
At this point i think they Will make a remake/remastered for the release of the PS6
how I played them was:
1.Elden Ring
2.Dark souls 1: remastered
3.Dark souls 3
4.Dark souls 2: SotFS
5.Sekiro
Sadly, I don't have a play station so I'm limited to this, but if someone comes from an Ubisoft game, and has no experience with older rpg's or Jrpg's then this is probably the order I would recommend to someone, except that after ds3 you can probably play anything else in no specific order since you should be experienced enough to tackle any other souls game.
But also, if someone doesn't mind a bit of pain, ds1:r or Demon souls first would probably give a more authentic experience. Ds2 imo, deserves to be played, but you will have more fun with the game if you are more experienced with souls games, as the game punishes you for losing by lowering your max hp, and losing lifegems, as well as having the worst boss runs on the entire fromsoft catalogue. so being good enough to where you can beat the bosses in at most 5 tries is honestly much more enjoyable.
I did try getting into ds2 after finishing 1, got annoyed, and then left it for later, and after ds3, I was genuinely enjoying the game much more.
Also I can also see why you could start with ds3, it does have the best combat of the series, but for me personally, sekiro and Elden ring still had better combat.
Good idea for a video, good execution and quality. Didn’t realize I was watching a video from RUclipsr this small, keep it going man! It just takes time but you’re on the right path!
Thank you put a lot of work into this video means the world to me
I think you should start with dark souls 1. All the souls games will be tough for a beginner but if you start with dark souls 1 then you will build the skill set that will help you with all the subsequent games.
But like the the video said play the remastered version if you’re able. Much better frame as well as game stability plus it comes with the dlc packaged in.
True but I think if they aren’t interested and don’t like the clunky parts that they should look at a different game that interests them more
Nice video man. Some solid takes and I could tell that it was genuine and heartfelt information for new players getting into the series. Easy like
Thank you
Short answer: Start with Dark Souls. Alternately, start with Demon's Souls if you have PS3/5 or Emulator.
I get it but those may not interest everyone
@KuminsU If they don't like DS1 they can go to hell
Great takes, Sekiro was what introduced me to the genre. I like having the ability of jumping around and utilizing the sling arm to get out of crazy situations and stealth. Once I settled down and started to embrace the controls for what they were it was a whole new experience. It made playing Bloodborne and Elden Ring so much more fun! I have Dark Souls 3 remastered sitting in the chamber ready to play but I just can't get enough of Elden Ring at the moment with the DLC too
I’m glad you got into the series and went through it. Not a lot of people do. This series is probably the most consistent quality from any series.
Honestly I think 3 is a great way to get into the series if you wanna play the fromsoft exclusive ones first. Does a good job at being difficult but more fair with it's difficulty. May not have the giant Interconnected world of 1 but still rewards exploration. And overall feels more forgiving them 1 & 2.
I agree it’s how I started
Been at it since Demons Souls at ps3, having played all versions.
Start in the middle, this way you're able to go forward and backwards.
If you love what dark souls does, play Demons Souls, Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 3. This is what the genre is conceptually. Throw in the Demons Souls remake just because it's easier to access it and probably is considered less of a sore eye. The music in the original is leaps and bounds better.
If you love ER play ER & Dark Souls 2, this is what marketing says the genre is. Which is what most people agree with & which is what sells the game initially.
If you love DKS3, play Bloodborne & Sekiro, imo this is miyazaki at his finest both of these are just stretching the mechanics and quality to the most polished state ever.
I agree
Just finished DS3 for the first time. My first two souls game were lies of p and DS1. Can't wait for Sekiro and Elden Ring
Lies of P is a "souls-like" 🤓
damn sameee first souls was Lies of P and DS1, then jumped to DS3, I LOVED all of them just sekiro and elden ring left (i dont have ps4/ps5 for bloodborne and demon souls)
Ok....I have to be that guy am sorry
Lies of p is a souls LIKE
not a SOULSBORNE
But am glad you liked ds1 personally I think it's the best one
@@DreadGB it is....
@@yo..9584 Yeah obviously, hence the "🤓"
I'd say sekiro. Elden ring didn't really force me to get good because there's tons of way to circumvent it and it only bit me in the ass when i did play sekiro.
But after playing sekiro and dying countless times, i stopped being "afraid" of the bosses and instead actually initiate and engage with the enemies. Helped me enjoy elden ring even more thoughly when i went back and got me to buy Bloodborne and Ds1 with a plan of getting ds3
Well best thing to do is hop in ds1 blindly, but there's a chance that the player won't enjoy ds2. So to 100% enjoy all of them i'd start with ds2 not knowing how much better the other games are and then the rest of the games
I think Elden Ring is the easiest game to start with. If you like the genre then you can try the other entries in the series. A personal favorite of mine is DS3 for sure
Agreed elden ring is the easiest and most accessible for anyone. However I am so grateful I started my experience with this series by playing Dark Souls 1 knowing next to nothing about it. Still to this day was the best experience I ever had playing a game and I recommended others to do the same
@@exposingpowerfullieslivest5082 i started with Dark Souls 2 SOTFS and let’s just say that it wasn’t easy. I still greatly enjoyed it and that got me to playing the rest of the games in the franchise
@@presidenthonor when I first tried DS2 I bought SotFS and I refunded it after 5 minutes, I thought wow DS2 friggin sucks, man. Years later I got the original DS2 and played thru the whole thing really enjoying it (commonly shared issues aside) it's not even close to the other games, but I still had fun with it. Scholar really was just a terrible game in and of itself
Elden ring is the easiest but it could also be a nightmare depending how you play
I recently just went through all the games and got all the achievs and I'm actually having more trouble with elden ring than any others but I'm not using summons or ashes
Play them in order of release
The jokes one you, I already am
I’m guessing most people that watch this are
Bloodborne has actually 2 shields, but I bet that nobody cares about this information.
Damn how did I not know this
Release order.
Demon's Souls is the easiest game and it's perfect for beginners and well it just goes smoothly from there.
always dark souls 2 first. idk why all these people are trying to mislead the community
Maybe it’s just scholar
@@KuminsU ;)
nicely said dude! the stuttering was a bit awkward but I don't mind, DS3 is the easiest so I recommend that as a start...
Thank you I am tongue tied if yk what that means. I js can’t speak for too long without slurring my words
Tried every Fromsoft game on pc and I generally didn't find them fun due to the control schemes, technical issues and just plain weird gameplay design(DS2). On the other hand Surge 2 and currently Lords of The Fallen 2023 feel so much better to play which makes me wish FS got on with the times.
I started with elden ring I own sekiro slowly making my way through while also still playing elden ring dlc 😂 I want to try ds3 but bloodbounre 30 fps is killing me man😂
They needa release it on pc and ps5
My personal opinion:
If you want to go in blind, I would suggest Elden Ring, DS3 or Sekiro first, sue to how clean the mechanics are and how simple the story is. Among these if you are not a seasoned gamer, I would suggest ER 1st, since it has great accessibility, anf the diffixulty is incredibly variable based on playstyle. Summoning can ease out thr boss fight challenge significantly.
If you can persevere, Sekiro is an easier game to go through, since you cant make a build making error, like in ER.
I would suggest against DS3 1st, since a lot of major locations lose the punch without DS1 context.
If you are OK with using guides, I would go for DeS/DS1. To see how Fromsoft evolved organically. Then proceed in order.
I played DS3 first, ER second, DSII third. I have like 2000 hours in souls games. But I absolutely despise Dark souls 1. Which is weird, since I really enjoyed DSII. So, I suppose if you want to enjoy dark souls 1, you should start with that.
Dark souls one is janky so I get it
Elden Ring really spoiled by Bloodborne experience
That’s what I’ve heard alot
Additional question: Sekiro is only 30FPS on Series S; would you still recommend buying it then?
Yes because it still feels smooth and responsive I didn’t even know that to be honest
Why do people talk shit about DS2?
Here are some pros that *only* DS2 has:
1. Bonfire Ascetic, 2. World Wide death counter (i think Demons Souls has that too),
3. ACTUAL dual wielding power stance, not that bullsh* from ER,
3.2 and you can mix them up, like i.e. a Katana and a Dagger,
4. best NG+, 5. Blue Flame,
6. Enemy Extinction, 7. Majula.
8. Best achievement, ''This is Dark Souls''
9. POOL of Blood!
And for some: 10. Company of Champions, aka Hard Mode.
Cons:
1. Drinking the Estus makes you stand still,
2. People who complaing about DS2 are the same who complain about the ER DLC being too hard lol
And i bet those people never joined the Company of Champions covenant either lol
Get the game, don't listen to the haters, and see for yourself.
I think it’s a good game js not better than the rest and it’s better to start with the others. I mentioned the bonfire ascetic, majula, not powerstancing because of Elden ring, the achievement and pool of blood do not really help out the game for playing it it’s just a nice little addition. The hard mood is good to have. But you didn’t mention the invincibility frames when going into a fog wall don’t start until half way through the animation and with the amount of enemy spam in scholar it makes it difficult to even get into a boss. The boss run backs usually have tons of enemy spam blocking your path. And if you keep dying your health goes lower and lower which is so punishing to new players. I will say it again I think it’s a good game. Just not a good starting point
@@KuminsU I appreciate the slow paced combat of DS2, I feel like an actual somewhat pathetic swordsman who gets stronger throughout the game rather than a Jedi in DS3 or ER
@@titaniumsalmon3238 I fully respect that. It’s just something I don’t vibe with very much myself. And the adaptability and eye frames in general frustrate me but I have no problem with you enjoying it because I did too just not as much as the rest
@@KuminsU of course, I hope to play DS 3 next, it seems pretty fun as well but 2 appealed to me most as a first game
@@titaniumsalmon3238 yeah honestly that’s the biggest thing to motivate you to go through the game. That’s how I got into the series was ds3 but then I couldn’t get the motivation until I bought bloodborne and beat it
my personal journey was DS3,Sekiro,DS1,DS2,Bloodborne,Elden ring and demon souls on an emulator
It would be perfect if I went ds1,ds3,ds2,elden ring, dont play bloodborne at all, and then sekiro
still have to try out demon souls remake
Bloodborne is my favorite one but i don’t know what to say for you honestly because i don’t believe that it’s more enjoyable to play dark souls 2 than bloodborne
@@KuminsU If they port it to pc or release a patch for ps5 I'd honestly love it and actually replay it.
It running on an 11 year old toaster does not help the case, especially my ps4 which is also quite old
@@KuminsU its fast combat almost feels like a slasher game and the inconsistent framepacing +30fps makes it hard to play. not releasing it on pc is just WASTED potential. extra mods and everything too. not having to pay for ps+ for multiplayer
But DSR has terrible graphics compared to the original. It ruins the whole atmosphere. Unless you play it on Switch, then it has the original graphics.
I get it but a lot of people still enjoyed it when only playing the remake and the quality of life improvements help
@@KuminsU Yeah, you are right. Funny that a lot of people say that the Remake was too expensive. I just ordered a copy of Prepare to Die Edition, imported from Europe, so I can play the original with dlc. Funny that I had to pay double ($70) what the remaster costs, just to play it. I wish they would just sell both digitally!
I would say if you're on Xbox or PC, play either dark souls 3 or elden ring first. If you're on PS play bloodborne first ((yes I'm bias, deal with it)).
I think starting with Dark Souls 1 and going in blind is the most enjoyable way to start the series. Also it teaches the basic mechanics that the rest of the games build off of, so it's the most natural way to start off, even more so than demon souls imo. But elden ring is def the easiest to begin with since there's so many options for builds and silly OP spells and weapons. However I think if someone plays thru elden ring, it'll be more difficult for them to have the kind of amazing experience with DS1 that so many of us have shared. So I strongly recommend starting with #1 for any reading this
I agree completely I just didn’t want people to expect too much from the other games after Elden ring yk?
I will say this absolute truth...DEX over sex!! Put all your points in dex then enjoy...whats that? You are getting 1 hit? Thats easy! Just dont get hit bro😂 no, seriously, unequip all armor and use your uchikatana to drop them corpses.
No, for real. The souls franchise is all about finding your own style, and your favorite weapons. Finally, if you are having issues with a boss just remember that PATTERN RECOGNITION is a thing LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE HUMAN develops age 10/12 so just stop cavemen thinking, look at the boss patterns and counter. Rinse and repeat for the win
For real
Dark souls 1, Dark souls 3, Bloodborne, and then Elden ring would be a pretty smooth transition.
Agreed
I would suggest going from easiest to hardest, to ease the transition, and mastery of combat, rather than by game release date. Fortunately souls game aren't sequential in story. Begin with Elden Ring as the easiest, then whatever, finalizing with DS1 and then ofc, Sekiro.
OR, start with Sekiro with a bang. Master it, all other Fromsoft titles are a walk in the park. Bcs Sekiro level up YOU as the player.
Play dark souls II first
I don’t know about that for everyone. Everyone has different interests
Skill issue
The most important thing is to stay tf away from ds2
no

Yeah the best one should be played last
