I actually finally got into the series through the 2nd...but hell no. Sekiro>DS3=Bloodborne>the rest. From Soft might of not always changed it up drastically, but they always stepped in the right direction more than they stepped back.

i wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but it's definitely my favorite Souls game, including over the spin-offs like Bloodborne and Sekiro.

Bloodborne > 1 > 2 > Demons > 3

Sekiro isn't even the same style of game and thus irrelevant in this discussion but it's the best they've put out

shits on everything that made them enjoyable by being a soulless and uninspired cash grab sequel, I agree

I knew Dark Souls 2 was going to be trash upon seeing that horrid gameplay in the trailers.

It's literally the shittiest Souls game to date.

Unpopular opinion: Dark Souls ain't that great and 2 is the best, followed closely by 3.

DS3 is my favorite. Ringed City is my favorite DLC of any of the games.

DS3 > DS1 > DS2 but even DS2 is an 7/10 game for me. Very enjoyable, underrated, beautiful and eerie at times just like the best moments of the others.

pretty much how I feel, but I might put Bloodborne at the top.

Sekiro is cool, but I still haven't beaten Genichiro, but I feel like I know what to do.

Lets be honest, 3 is at least better than 2, but lets not pretend that 3 wasn't a phoned-in cash grab.

Everything about it was literally a Dark Souls 1 clone, from the decals, physics, and characters. I understand that they wanted to sweep 2 under the matt, but we wanted a true sequel to 1 not a goddamn carbon copy.

I'm not a huge fan of a lot of the things they did in DS3, but probably what I dislike the most is how they "bloodborne'd" it. The series was always dark but 3 really stepped it into the grotesque category, with most enemies looking like they belong in resident evil games. That and the combat was sped up to be closer to BB's quickness, I prefer the slower methodical combat that rewards patience. The stages in DS3 are fun though, they are enormous and its fun to explore everything as theres collectibles everywhere.

That said, probably the most annoying part of it is the invaders are the absolute worst they've ever been. I'm playing through for the first time and I've never once seen a game where the dude doesn't run and hide in a mob so he can heal (which can't be punished since backstabs are practically useless). Monsters being much more aggressive and relentless in this game makes it very difficult to end a fight unless you have already cleared the area. IMO invading should be limited to one at a time or removed entirely, and just make pvp through arenas.

i think 2 had the best pvp and i used to live in the arena. went rank 3 like 4-5 times.

1 has fun pvp but it's fun in ways that were never intended. the tech defines the meta in 1, where it complements it in 2.

also powerstancing was amazing and going back on it was bad. can't even make a lefty build in 3.

after thinking about it:

Bloodborne Dark Souls 3 > Demon's Souls > Dark Souls > Dark Souls 2

I really enjoy Sekiro, but I'm still early to mid-game, and I want to finish first before I try to rank it with the others.

DS2 had the very best of everything except story enemy variety, and locations, besides Majula.

DS3 was great in it's own right, but was just BloodBorn reskinned, with viable blocking.

It's easier to call it irrelevant instead of actually addressing the stuff in your post that he sees as relevant. Calling something irrelevant while directing all your attention towards only it, ah, the internet.

sorry bud but we've already established that 3 is.

3 is like the little brother who desperately tries to catch up to their successful big brother (dark souls 1) but falls short in every facet of life

In terms of a first time playthrough it's up there with DS1 and BB, but doesnt nearly have the replayability of them.

I didn't like 2 until SotfS but I enjoyed it greatly then, especially the DLC which I feel is the best in the dark souls series

3 however I detested outside abyss watchers, dancer, and cinder and I deleted it the moment I beat it
