Dark Souls' lack of warping and world design put it above the rest for me. The combat is really satisfying as well, I think it's the best in the series for fighting mobs.

Bloodborne really shines with its boss fights though, especially in the DLC. The mechanics, scenario, aesthetic, and music just all come together so well in some of them to create better moments and higher highs then you get in the rest of the series. The Old Hunters is probably my favorite stretch of content from From, but I still prefer Dark Souls as a whole. I played DaS first though and spent the most time with it, so that biases me too. It's a shame, I still feel like the game never got a proper sequel or successor.

>>383589973
But Matt said they were too hard and therefore shit.

>>383590064
Nah, he makes a good point, I just think he exaggerates it. Creative scenarios are nice, but that doesn't mean a boss is bad when it's just a good fight. They can be memorable for other reasons.

DeS = DaS = BB


Each one is good in its respective ways for bringing something new and interesting to the table without outright copying the other.

2 and 3 are unessecary shit.

/thread

>>383588396
For playing the first time: Bloodborne
For replaying: Dark Souls 2

BB>DeS>DaS2>DaS>DaS3

>>383588396
Dark Souls 1 because Chalice Dungeons left a really bad taste. The first set of dungeon runs are good, but then the repetition kicks in

can someone hook me up with a rating of the ds games? i just can't figure out which are the best

>>383588453
I have never seen such shot taste

>>383588396
DaS > BB > DeS = DaS3 > SotFS > DaS2

>>383590835
Don't ask for that here. That's like promoting shitposting. Figure it out yourself.

BB>DaS>Des>DaS 3>Das 2

>>383588396
DaS1=SOTFS>BB>DeS>DaS3

Des=Ds1=BB >>> Ds3 >>>>>>>>>> Ds2

The undisputable truth

>>383590835
There are too many opinions runing wild in this thread (and in every thread involving these games) so asking for a rating here is a really bad idea, but you should definitely play every Souls game (can't vouch for Demon Souls, never played it, but I heard it's good but also the least accesible), I can offer you an order in which to play the games to get the least fucked over:

Dark Souls III/Bloodborne => (if Bloodborne first): Dark Souls III = (if DaS3 first): Dark Souls I => Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin => (if you went DaS3 first): Bloodborne.

Now, the difference between playing BB or DaS3 first is very simple, they have the fastest combat in the series, but Bloodborne is a whole different beast, so imho if you don't play it first, it's best to leave it for last.

scholar of the first sin is the best DLC in the series and bloodborne the best base game in the series though

>>383589973
I fully agree with this. I think BB from an objective stabdpoint, is the most solid game from a gameplay standpoint, but it's spoiled by the warping from the beginning as well as a lack of variation in environments. DaS is still my favourite, almost entirely because of the sense of progression; you start out with nothing; exploring a visually interesting, but very familiar environment, and then work your way into some really unique settings, and by the end of the game you're warping all over the place and entering some incredibly alien places. None of the other games really captured this feeling like DaS did.

>>383590064
He didn't say they were too hard though, hbomber-kun, he said they were less interesting because they all play the same way, there's no "gimmick" (as the kids say), to them.

>>383590835
Just play DeS, DaS, then BB in that order. Trust me.

DaS

Bloodborne has too little variety in environments and falls for the delayed animations meme a little too often. Also the blood vial system was a pointless step backwards.

>>383591605
I agree bloodborne is near perfect to me but that damn blood vial system...hated farming for blood vials in yharnam on NG0

>>383588396
Out of the ones I've played:

BB > DeS > DaS2 > DaS, then Salt and Sanctuary somewhere belong that and Malebolgia beneath the floorboards, because all of Fromsoft's titles are okay.

>>383591605
I think Bloodborne had the best gameplay (combat, level design, etc..), but it lacked the build variety of DaS along with what you said. One of the things that kept me playing DaS for so long was all the different kinds of characters you could build, and how easy it was to sequence break and get what you needed for your build early. None of the other games really do this at all, and it's a real shame.

>>383588396
DaS > BB > DeS

Other two don't really matter, rank them as you will.

>>383588396
DeS>BB>Das1>Das3>Sotfs>vannila das2

>>383588453
jesus that's bad

Comparing the shittiest souls game to the best one, you have to be fucking retarded if you think DS1 is any good.

>>383593479
It's literally the best one, you cock gobbling plebeian.

>people separating DS2 and Scholar

It's the same fucking game, you memelords.

>>383588396
I think I liked Dark Souls 1 the most. I just LOVE the setting in BB, but DS1's level design revolving around the firelink shrine really impressed me. Moreover it was my first Souls game (didn't have a PS4 yet so i couldn't do Demon's Souls) so it had the magical surprise effect. DLC wise, BB is probably better but Arthorias was so fucking classy, it will always be my number one.
Tough choice though.

>>383593847
Exactly, it's so stupid.

DaS is better. Warping from the beginning is retarded. Hub area being disconnected entirely is even more retarded. Stats meant nothing in BB. There's was no variety and no reason to play through BB more than once. Not to mention the blood vial system, every boss and enemies moveset just being flailing around for 10 seconds, and the combat being emphasized despite the combat being the weakest part of any Souls game.

>>383594279
The only thing I didn't like in BB were the Blood Vials and the fact that you couldn't just sit at the lantern. Other than that, I didn't see much wrong with it.
Granted, I have yet to visit my first Chalice Dungeon.

>>383594279
The bosses in DaS are also a snoozefest, at least on the second playthrough. The only games in which the majority of bosses were great are BB, DaS3 and the DaS/DaS2 DLC's.

BB = DeS > DaS > rest

>>383588396
DS1+DLC>BB+DLC>DS3+DLC>DemonS

The Canon opinion

>>383588396
1 had the worst level design

2 had the worst enemy placements

3 was inoffensive in both regards

Magic wasn't even the main focus of bloodborne and it was still better than 3's.

>>383595259
you're scum. kill yourself.

>>383588396
Bloodborne easily. If you would've said DeS then it'd be a tough choice but DS is the worst game in the series by a wide margin.

>>383595491
>DS2 baby
haha oh wow so they exist
Your game is legit shit and not even the dlc fixed that

>>383589973
I disagree only on the point that BB shines with bosses, they are all comically easy until the DLC. Visually they are cool but the base game is just too easy in general, which boils down to the fact that they designed everything around how aggressive combat has to be played.

>>383595637
you don't even understand why you are scum. I pity you. Hint: it's about Demon's Souls and DaS3

I want the old Souls community back. All I have now is this cesspools of people thinking they have ascended in video game design knowledge. What the fuck are you, Arin Hanson?

>>383594984
It's worse in the Chalice Dungeons, arguably the only place I'd say it's bad.

Since there's no way to "re-up" while in the dungeons you just continually have to break back to motherbase on lower chalices, and suffer through the loading screen memes on top of the already boring monotonous dungeons.

>>383596416

Are you going to cry? I feed on the tears of casuls and your protestations make me stronger. If anything, it should be HARDER to get blood vials to dissuade spamming.

>>383596165
It'd be better if every souls game didn't repeat the same shit from Demon Souls but better.

/thread indeed my self /threading friend

D1 because I'm shit at bb. I'm a sword and board guy. I'm not good at anime dodging.

Why do we have this thread every day?

>>383597386
>but better
Incorrect. Play the games again and reflect. Why is it that animations no longer swing freely from form to form as in Demon's Souls? Why should you be given such a preposterously long period of I-frames? Why should you be able to parry every attack of the final boss with ease? Why should you be given endlessly refilling healing potions for free? These are the gameplay elements I don't like in DaS as in DeS, to say nothing of the more subjective elements of design and art

DS2 SOTFS > 1 = BB > 2 > DeS > 3

>>383597918
At least you put ds3 where it belongs

>>383596176
Ego is like a failed bunnyhop or matthewmatosis. He's convinced his analysis is deep and backed up, but I've noticed his opinions are so surface-level he doesn't look at the bigger picture. His MMX video was dumb as shit because it could have been a 1 minute video about SMB 1-1 like a million people have done before him.

>>383598137
Haven't seen any of his Bloodborne or Dark Souls stuff, how much does Arin know about the lore?

>>383598137
My point is that back in the day, with Demon's Souls and the time around the Dark Souls release, you could actually have discussions about the games. People just enjoying themselves and telling stories and just casually talking about the games. Nowadays, all you have is
>REEEEEE MY OPINION IS THE RIGHT ONE
>EVERY SOULS GAMES WITH NUMBERS ARE GARBAGE
>LOOK AT ME YOU FILTHY CASUL, I'M LIKE AN EXPERT IN THE GAME

Giant Dad is still funny, but these idiots just ruining the fun by testing who can scream the loudest.

DS3 > Crash Bandicoot > BB. The rest are too old for me to care about.

Definitely bloodborne

pick one

Bloodborne really needed more content within Yharnam. Central Yharnam is probably the best area in the game. If you ask me Hemwick Lane should have just been another part of Yharnam. You really only get Central Yharnam and Cathedral Ward and I think this is where BB shines in its level design.

Hemwick Lane was pretty mediocre
Healing Church Workshop was shit
Forbidden Woods is way too long
Old Yharnam is medicore

>>383601219
Its level design was the best until DaS2, BB, and 3 came out. Once SotFS came out and enemy placements were unfucked, 2 firmly took the crown. Then 3 came out and once again stole the show for good level design.

Personally I didn't enjoy Bloodborne at all.

As a more mature person who plays games I appreciate a challenge. Bloodborne might be good for people who were born in the late 90's / new millennium because it's easy but I can't enjoy games like that.

I went in blind and platinumed it in 10 days, never having played a Souls game before.

>7% trophy rate

Dark Souls > Bloodborne > Demons' Souls > Dark Souls 2

Then again, I never played 2's DLC, and I still have to play DS3.

>>383602603
My opinions are from what ive seen of the games. Ive played 1/3/bb enough to know 1 has the best level design by far. 3 is forced linear for the most part due to shit not unlocking until you do it in froms order and bb sequences brakes, while nice, are not level design as much as they are a destruction of level design. meanwhile ds1 connects several layers of levels seemlesly together and is completely open.
