Too late, Malenia was the one thing devs took away from Elden Ring so expect every boss to have 2 bloated health bars and a bullshit second phase that should have been it's own boss.

Easy ass games
Depends.
So the big difference is ds1 is a much much easier game AFTER you are comfortable with how your character controls. Ds3 is a harder game but it is much easier to adjust to its controls. This can make the early game of ds3 seem easier than the early game of ds1. However the run up to vordt in ds3 is imo one of the hardest openings of any fromsoft game's first boss which kind of fricks with the phenomenon above.
Personally I'd start with ds1. Not for difficulty reasons but because it's just more memorable than ds3. You'll absolutely recall certain areas in ds1. You won't remember dick all about ds3 in 10 years.
>You'll absolutely recall certain areas in ds1. You won't remember dick all about ds3 in 10 years.
Why are people like this? Dark Souls 1, while cool that it's interconnected, has some of the worst level design in the history of gaming. DS2, 3, BB, etc. all do a much better job and are far more memorable for it. "Muh Anor Londo!" is it, that's the only memorable part, unless you want to count dogshit like Izalith or the Tomb of Giants simply because they're terrible?
The game forces you to play by its rules, forcing the soulsshitter to face how fricking bad they are at video games when not being carried by overpowered items and summons. Their reaction, naturally, is to blame the game and write a 2000 word negative review on it.
Play Sekiro or Bloodborne, if you haven't. None of the souls games will feel as good to play as LoP, at least that's my experience.
In fact, even Bloodborne was difficult due to the atrociously low framerate. Only sekiro on PC is bearable
>DS1 is 70% great and 30% awful >DS2 is 20% great and 80% mediocre >DS3 is 30% good and 70% mediocre
DS3 might be more digestible if its your first but then some bits will be lost on you. Personally I don't recommend DS2/3 at all.
Lies of P is genuinely better than Souls, in so much as I've played.
>expected to hate this game because of its blatant uninspired copying >tried hard to look at it in bad faith >turns out it became the best souls game to play, for me
I don't know how to feel about this
>first you must tell them you absolute hate this game because its a shameless ripoff copy paste die die die >then you tell them you're suddenly fall in love with it like a bawd the BAAM everyone will love this shit and suck your wiener, trust me, brother Kim Doong Suuck, our company strategy never fail
have a nice day
People like you who criticize honesty should never have been allowed to run rampant. Your moronation turned Ganker into twitter 2.0

Now that I beat the archbishop how do I wind down and go to bed? I want to delve further but my rational mind is telling me I need to try to force my self unconscious.

What a bullshit fricking fight. The first phase is even harder than the second one because of you having to hope the two other homosexuals in the arena don't suddenly throw shit at you (comboing you into eternity) or accidentally walk toward you, triggering their combos.
This is not the way to design bossfights
Honestly you can always just skip straight to the one that you're truly interested in when getting into a series. No need to make a chore out of gaming. (im assuming you mentioned 3 because you saw some gameplay of it or something, idk)
That being said if you're just interested in the series overall then yeah DS1 is always your best starting point
I give you permission to play DS3 first. Lots of exploring. It's great. I'm not sure, but the think the underground fire area is optional and I was ecstatic when I discovered it without any guides
>NG: This is kind of fun >NG+: This is fun >NG++: This is really fun >NG+++: This feels like shit
At least I'm having enough fun to do NG+++. I dropped all the souls games after the first run.
I just can't fricking get into elden ring and I need another LOP fix. Lords of fallen does look decentish in the demo buts its a fricking western studio. Couldn't stand any one the souls games.
King of Puppets was an unfair fight. I hope the Malenia shit doesn't become a staple in souls games now.
Too late, Malenia was the one thing devs took away from Elden Ring so expect every boss to have 2 bloated health bars and a bullshit second phase that should have been it's own boss.
King was bullshit? Oh boy are you in for a rough time. Most bosses after King are two phases with a few of them having some kind of bullshit.
King was easy AF, jesus man.
I struggled with phase 1 much more than with phase 2.

>Tomb of the Giants

Filtered. Only bad areas in DS1 are crystal cave and lost izalith.
elden ring is the peak of souls. if you dont want to do that you can do 3. or go straight to the hardest of the 3 and play 2.

It has both of these thoughbeit
The summon is a glorified dummy. Shits useless at everything except the occasional distraction

It's a worthy souls-like. Imperfect but it mogs the shit out of lesser games like Mortal Shell.
Mortal Shell is the worst. I'd rather finish Lords of the Fallen 3 times back to bsck than continue that turd.
You'd be better off playing metroid games than dark souls

What's the completion rate on Steam? This game is way too fricking long, it wore out its welcome a couple chapters ago.
around 10%
Now that I beat the archbishop how do I wind down and go to bed? I want to delve further but my rational mind is telling me I need to try to force my self unconscious.

>it wasn't a lie after all
huh
the fact that this retroactively ties together both the Julian and Polendias storylines was pretty kino
Honestly you can always just skip straight to the one that you're truly interested in when getting into a series. No need to make a chore out of gaming. (im assuming you mentioned 3 because you saw some gameplay of it or something, idk)
That being said if you're just interested in the series overall then yeah DS1 is always your best starting point
>devs cut level before release
>money stolen
Its really faithful to souls in that regards then! kek!
Plus the final level was already long and exhausting enough
Second half in general is weaker than the first, as it usually is. Swamp, Relic and Abbey aren't particularly interesting or have a lot of detail.
>1 or 3
>Doesn't even consider ds2
I can tell you're a homosexual who only plays these games because some moron like Asmongold told you to.
have a nice day moron. My question was:
>Should I play the entire series from start, or can I jump straight into the latest entry
I give you permission to play DS3 first. Lots of exploring. It's great. I'm not sure, but the think the underground fire area is optional and I was ecstatic when I discovered it without any guides
No your question was ds1 or 3. The start of the series is Demon Souls which you also left out. Did Asmongold not like that one either?
have a nice day
jesus christ why are 2gays still so insecure? You're embarrassing
DS1 try to get as far as you can without looking up anything. Then Bloodborne. Do the same. Then DS3. Never look up anything. Make us proud.
go straight to 3, dont bother with the rest, 1, 2, and deS are trash and dont let anyone tell you otherwise.
>NG: This is kind of fun
>NG+: This is fun
>NG++: This is really fun
>NG+++: This feels like shit
At least I'm having enough fun to do NG+++. I dropped all the souls games after the first run.
>best record is locked behind lying to the window woman
imagine how many people didnt lie to her and missed feel
Start with Demon's Souls on PS3.
That was the worst final boss fight in any souls game
5/10
Never playing this shit game again
I just can't fricking get into elden ring and I need another LOP fix. Lords of fallen does look decentish in the demo buts its a fricking western studio. Couldn't stand any one the souls games.
