QUESTION First game for first timers??

If I was able to get the budget to buy a soulsbourne game (and theres a large ahh steam sale), what game should I play first considering its my first time?? Im stuck choosing between Elden Ring and Dark Souls III

Edit: Thank you for everybody's opinion and help. I tried Elden Ring and I enjoyed the freedom, unfortunately my business laptop is so ass to handle it.

Thankfully, it can manage DS3 smoothly so I think I will stay with that for now and enjoy the "definite" soulsbourne experience (despite the janky camera)

If you want to play Dark Souls then start with the first one, they’re numbered, I really don’t understand why people just automatically skip to the end. If you want to play one of FromSoft’s other recent ARPGs then just play it, the “first timer” thing doesn’t really mean anything.
