@@zombieboss5178 There is a theory that if you complete Elden Ring with the end of the frenzied flame, it is what begins the era of fire that originates the lore of DS1 later. Too extend to detail it here, but if you search on the internet you will see better information.

Yea I didn't like that abt ER, felt kinda cheap to fight 4 of the same boss, but a third of the game is like that anyway

[@jooplin]

⁠@@quintitif you don’t reuse assets that you developed over multiple games you can file for bankruptcy immediately. They reused their assets really smart, for example the parasite things in DS3 were reused to make ulcerated tree spirits. The thing is that 99% don’t even notice it until someone points it out. Elden ring is a big world and still managed to make more new enemy types than all previous Fromsoft games before so I don’t get the frustration. Especially when you have Moonlight Blade wielding magic breathing dragons or dragons that catch a lightning and uses it as a sword and shit. I could go on and on, but Elden ring was ambitious as heck and still delivered. The re using of assets is just absolute standard practice in game development

All the following games are cooler to play, gameplay wise, but DS1 is something else man. Rushing through the map having no idea if you're going to the right direction only to land in an amazing area or just a new shortcut that will save your progress is a feeling unlike anything else.

[@ihatehandleupdate]

Yeah, I'm currently replaying Ds 1 after 3 Elden Ring, 5 Ds 2 and 2 Ds 3 playthroughs after a good 1.5 years and it felt so weird that you couldn't teleport anywhere right off the bat. It was also suprising to see that I killed bosses first try now that I struggled for hours and days with on my first few playthroughs. I really appreciate Dark Souls 1. It has a special vibe to it, knowing the lore of the later games, it really is interesting to walk among these huge, ''legendary" figures like Gwyn and Artorias.

[@2m7b5]

Yeah DS3 is my favorite, but DS1 is really a special game. It has such an unsettling, dreamy vibe, too.

[@eow4317]

Eh, I haven’t finished 3 yet but I still prefer this game’s gameplay

[@Luxalim]

I might be biased because I played Dark Souls back in 2011 but it's still a timeless masterpiece to me that I replay at least twice a year. The games world design and builds were so great.

[@truebacon133]

I love the world and lore in DS1 but the combat feels very boring and tbh very easy. Blight town was the biggest disappointment for me I heard so much about it and just breezed through it. I didn't play this game originally though. I played it after DS3, Bloodborn and Elden Ring.

11:38 You can slide down ladders by holding down the button you use to roll. Unlike in the other games you don't hold down the left analog stick.

[@aguafria9003]

You can also double tap it to do it automatically unlike other games where it just has you let go

[@Lehmuska]

The fact you slide down the ladders in DS1 with the same input as letting go of the ladder in later games is probably the primary reason people don't know you can slide down ladders in DS1.

7:05, in dark souls, they are very particular about the difference between wyverns and dragons. There is only wings and legs, missing the arms, which separates them from dragons who have arms legs and wings (minus seeth as he's malformed but he still has arms)

Absolutely LOVED this game. I might like it more than 3 because there is something about the level design for DS1 and Bloodborne that I really enjoy where the entire map is connected, but not at first as you gotta beat certain bosses and find certain keys/levers to connect new areas to older areas. And something about the NPCs in this game just resonate more than others. I actually put DS1 up there now in my personal top tier of favorite games of all time. I think I put damn near 100 hours in just enjoying exploring and finding all the little details. Just a genuinely fantastic game.

Not bad for your first playthrough. You're one of the only players I've ever seen actually go the right way after reaching Firelink

Sorry for geeking. But how do you are aware of mimics while not seeing one at this time? At 9:30. Bloodborne, Elden Ring and Sekiro doesn’t have any.
