Apart from everything else, its pretty crazy how this game turns into a complete mindfuck about halfway through. "Is that fucking Anor Londo", "wait how am I back at firelink shrine and why am I fighting this dude again", "what the hell is Ornstein's armor doing here", and so on. At first we get somewhat derivative references, but they get both more obvious and more strange the further in you get. Eventually you get to the Dreg Heap and the game stops caring about any rules of space or time. Somehow the original DS1 firelink still exists just below the Earthen Peak from DS2. You realize Midir's arena looks familiar, go digging, and realize its the same spot where we saw the Furtive Pygmy in the DS1 opening cinematic. The Profaned Capital looks familiar, you go digging, and it turns out it was built on top of Eleum Loyce, which already pulled the "is that fucking Lost Izalith" bit in DS2.

[@LeftyPantaridis]

Dark Souls 1 is the best for speed running, and blazing through on new play throughs due to the crazy connectedness of the world in general.

[@nalce-g]

i get that having a wide build variety is great but my excitement is still the same when i get to try just a new weapon on a different playthrough so i dont think it does much of a difference. also, ds2 is waaaay to freaking long and miserable (for the wrong reasons) for it to be that replayable for me. for ds1, the difference is honestly not that much, there are NPCs with multiple endings as well, even a diff cutscene with sif. but i think ds3 just does it on a level above ds1. where the interactions are more interesting, especially anri, siegward, the bloodborne looking dude, and etc. so for me, it's ds3 > ds1 > ds2. doesnt mean that ds2 is a bad game, it's getting a lot of unnecessary hate for sure but story wise? definitely not a weak link in the souls series

also should play demon souls, it was good, i also avoiding playing ds2 KEKW

[@MehrdadParthian]

tell that to DS2 fans, they're still living in their own bubble of low graphics. DS3 had the best story of all 3, the best gameplay of all 3 and the best models and worldspace of all 3. a true 10/10 game and a true 10/10 sequel, a worthy successor to DS1, unlike DS2 !

[@Jbswe]

Best story? Idk about that one

[@mauriciorosademoraes9209]

Best Story and Gameplay is sus take. Ds3 have the best boss fights not the most fun and good gameplay. Much simple and less puzzles, just boring enemies spammers of attacks (normally people just run because it's so worthless giving minimal attention to they). The level design is boring and there's much less secrets. The Weapons Art are useless, the shields are useless, the bows are useless, the magic is pratically useless, even the supportive miracles are useless, the consumables are most useless, the armor's poise are useless too and the stamina management/punitive mechanics is almost non existing in this game, for a Dark Souls game, this is pretty sad and boring not get punished by doing wrong choices. If you see people talking good about Ds3 like Charlie, they are only rushing into a straight line and killing bosses with melee weapons, this actually is the most boring gameplay of all 3 Dark Souls, too easy, too simple, too repetitive, no variety. Story besides The Painter Side Quest there's nothing that can argue about. There's only the End of Fire (go and finish the cycle. That's all) and some mid stories like that giant who i forgot the name. Comparing to Ds2 main story of fighting a pre destined end of the curse and some side stories like Vendrick, Aldia, Nashandra and Manus being much better. Do i need to compare to Ds1 story? It's just better

[@Jbswe]

@@mauriciorosademoraes9209 100% agree, the levels are boring and unmemorable. The story is basically non existent, The only thing you need to learn to beat ds3 is r1 heal and dodge you just r1 through the whole game nothing will force you to play smart and slow or actually think. People like ds3 cause they treat it like a boss rush game except the bosses aren’t even much of a challenge

[@mauriciorosademoraes9209]

@@Jbswe 100% agree too

[@WilliamGunnarsson-r6s]

​@@mauriciorosademoraes9209 i some what agree, firstly ds3 to easy? In my experience its the only game in the trilogy i die in whilst doing playthroughs. Also yes you can use melee weapons and r1 your way through the game but thats YOUR choice, you could say the same thing about the other games aswell, r1 spam and roll when you need to. You only hate the way its played because you play it like everyone else. But yeah the areas suck

kinda unfortunate he didn't do Sirris's or Orbeck's quest. 2 of my favorite npc in ds3 in terms of their lore and motive.

hearing him say "look at all my neurons firing, i remember everything" and then stating he doesn't know what item is there lit a fire in my soul. i practically shouted covetous silver serpent ring before he opened the chest it was in like dora just asked me to help let him know.

[@EldenLord.]

For me its definitely DS3 being the best aswell out of the trilogy. For me its: 1. DS3 2. DS2 3. DS1 DS2 is special for me since it was my first souls game and I just loved everything about it. I played DS1 after I played DS2, DS3 and Bloodborne and while it was still good it felt worse than DS2,DS3 and BB. The bosses were far too easy (only DLC was challenging like always). The lore was incredible ofc but I enjoyed DS2 and DS3 and Bloodborne lore more.

Starting DS3 today, wish me luck. Every says start there, so I’ll work my way backwards I think. I’m completed Lies of P, Elden Ring and Sekiro, Jedi Fallen Order & Survivor (GM difficulty) though, so I’m not exactly new to the genre (FromSoft titles) and subgenre (soulslike/soulslite).

Anyone calling ds1 better than ds3 are blinded by nostalgia. Fantastic games with their own quirks but ds3 really built on the systems theyve had since 1, and everything is more appealing from the music to the level design

How can you say Ds3 is better when it isn't even original? What systems did Ds3 build upon? The spell uses or poise system that it got rid of? You know nothing about the mechanics of the series if you think Ds3 isn't by far the worst thing FromSoft has ever put out. All you care about is art direction and bosses.
