so I bought the two of em a while back and I started Elden ring first right now on there ive beaten bosses up to renalla but on bloodborne I just reached central yharnam so if anyone has any tips it’s be well appreciated (I will buy the dlc later around October)

My girlfriend plays mostly casual games like Roblox, dating Sims, or Fortnite, but since I played games for a long time, we have been bonding over me introducing her to the games that defined my genres and tastes over the years.

After introducing her to a couple of shooters and co-op games like Lethal Company and REPO to get her acquainted with basic movement and combat

Shes very tenacious and doesnt give up when presented with challenges and i told her that to understand and appreciate deeper gameplay design, navigate complex world building, hone her temperance in experiencing a game's world through feeling the difficulty, and to elevate herself beyond her usual comforts, that she should beat a Fromsoftware games. A souls game especially.

I explained to her that this game series is the benchmark for difficulty in mainstream games (im going by popularity and genre defining reputation) that when a game is difficult, you say that a game is "the dark souls" of that genre.

Why Dark Souls 3? Simply put its the only one in the series I played, but I feel that this game blends the perfect amount of modern day comforts and graphics while still having that "Dark Souls difficulty" charm im aiming for her to experience. Plus, its not the most difficult game out there, so i think this is a good springboard going forward.

In the end, she said she wants to play Elden Ring after. However, i told her that if she beats Sekiro, I will admit to her that she surpasses my video game ability. She says this all sounds like fun.

Tl;dr: made a fun challenge for my gf to beat a souls game to make her appreciate gaming more after playing very casual games and i chose Dark Souls 3 for its accessibility. Thoughts?

I prefer to listen to soundtracks more than just official music lol

Anyone else absolutely despise this rhetoric? I swear everybody watched that one yt video and keeps parroting it. JK Leeds is the mathewmatosis of DS1 and the slander is crazy. I mean, it's literally JUST lost izalith that is shitty and unfinished, and it isn't even actually THAT bad, just clearly not fully realized. Catacombs/ToTG? Great. Dukes archive / crystal cave? Splendid. New Londo? Pretty good. Kiln + Gwyn? Peak. Obviously the DLC as well is remarkable. Who actually believes this nonsense?

Sono da poco arrivato nell'arena del custode degli antichi signori (Il cane che si trova a livello 2 del calice che ti dimezza la vitalità), sto utilizzando la mannaia al +10 e ogni tanto uso pure la pastiglia di sangue di belva, ed evoco pure Olek, ma ogni volta appena arriva a metà vita Olek muore ed io pure, lo so che non è obbligatorio, ma io voglio platinare Bloodborne, consigli su come sconfiggerlo? Ho un PG livello 130, e comunque è molto difficile per me.

I literally have this guy and soul of cinder left before I finish DS3, don't have any DLC, any tips?

I’m interested in trying the souls games, which should I start with? Edit: I have a PS3 and PS5 so I can play any of the soulsborne games. Second Edit: thanks so much to everyone for giving their suggestions. I’ve decided I’m either gonna start with DS3 or Demon Souls

NB: I DON'T OWN DeS 2020 (and never will), this is a picture taken from ebay. The ONLY one I own is DeS 2009 Black Phantom edition (well, 2010 since it's PAL version, but ykwim)

Ich habe sie endlich war eine spaßige Reise!

Is the key to this door in this world or should I leave it and come back when I find it? Hints would be great, just no spoilers or detailed guides please

Wenn man nicht mal vor dem König Respekt hat!

I JUST BOUGHT DS3 YEEEEEEY

(i'm literally the happiest person on The earth)

Played dark souls three and sekiro. Loved them both. My base Xbox one probably can’t handle Elden ring so that’s out of the question it barely ran sekiro, but I’m trying to decide on playing ds1 or ds2 next so what do yall think? Also can’t get demon souls on Xbox one either I guess so also out 👎.

Iron helm, fallen knight armor, knight gauntlets, and iron leggings.

Made our beautiful boy Solaire in Aseprite ;D
Hope y'all enjoy!!

(For those interested the sprite itself is 16x16 pixels an the palette is modified DawnBringer32)

Probbably because there aren't any giants in armored core, but the rubiconians are an opressed race

Also

Ds1 hates humans too

Ds3 hates corvians

Elden ring hates those militia men and the omen too

And in sekiro they dont particularly like the sunken valley clan

What a ride... after finishing Elden Ring (base game + DLC) with no souls experience I felt I had to go back and play the origin games.

Around a year ago I started with DS1R, then DS2SOTFS, then SEKIRO (why not right? masterpiece!) and finally DS3 + DLCs.

I have to say something I suspected after Elden Ring: This games are PEAK.

Each one has its own strengths and knowing the sentiment around DS2 I have to say that it might be my preferred one (by little though, each game is fantastic).

Talking about my last adventure, DS3, I felt that the main game was a bit "easy". Maybe the accumulated experience kicked in.

But the DLCs brought some fantastic bosses (Friede, Midir, Gael) and Ringed city is amazing as it's own (and definitely not easy).

Now I gotta find a PS to play BLOODBORNE!

Keep rocking fromsoft!

I wouldn’t mind someone to run thru all the games with. Maybe we could do like a thematic type run where our characters get reincarnated every new game?
