Souls series ranked (Including BloodBorne)

[Haxed]

Post own opinions, whetehr it just be about DS3 or Any other game.

1# DS1: first DS experience and the best by far, Best environments and armours and just overall made you feel as if you were fighting towards something, everything made sense without making sense.

2# DS2: (In my opinion on par with DS1). Just improved upon DS1, made the area's a lot more linear while swaying from the path of the undead trying to rekindle the flame but stayed relevant due to the Prepare to Die DLC for DS1. Better combat PvP wise (PvE is to Varied so no comparison, everythings different)

3# Demon souls: An awesome story that progressed a little too fast in the way that you go from casual dude killing ♥♥♥♥ to the most powerful demon there is, makes sense how, kill demons, become stronger, 2 theories in how it works but still it feels wierd. Was a little to short and i played it offline which means i missed quite a bit of content unfortunately..

4# BloodBorne: Awesome mechanics, your movement, especially in PvP or facing enemy hunters just looks awesome, the fights are actual fights where you have to otu do your opponent, not hack and slash... which is what you do to every other enemy in the game unfortunately.. the Scenery and outfits look sick as do the weapons but there's only one type of enemy in which you can actually enjoy killing unless your idea of fun is spamming R1 and healing with blood vial when Rally doesn't do the job.
Edit: The stroyline is pretty sick, even though it's wierd, forgot to mention.

5# DS3: It's a mixture of all the above games.. and not necessarily
the good or bad bits. I have mixed feeling about this where i can't say i like it but at the same time i don't want to say i dislike it. i just don't think it deserves the praise it gets while at the same time i think it's too early on to judge with how fromsoft generally will go out of there way to change quite a few things. the Environment and Scenery look good as do the armours. but a lot of things about the game as in the store, blacksmith, armour upgrades (or lack thereof). weapons and just a lot of other ♥♥♥♥ is just meh. the game didn't excite me once besides the Abyss watchers fight, but i killed him so quickly that the awesome moveset and Effects and everything he was was just over, i never got a clutch killin any way possible, no "♥♥♥♥ I JUST BEAT THAT BOSS 0 ESTUS 20HP", nithing. the PvP is boring. whoever runs out of estus first dies. it's mainly whoever i'm fighting and it's fair that the invader is at a disadvantage but when you duel and the people who summoned you heal..? why? whats the point? PvP, PvE, Mechanics, Weapons, The SFX (shrieking from bloodborne returns for some reason.. see no reason why). everything, i find so many negatives. The only thing that interests me is the Lore and that's because it's confusing as ♥♥♥♥ and makes no sense, And i'm talking about the dark souls lore, the actual lore, not the "HURUHR KILL LORDS OF CINDER KILL ONE GUY HURUHR YOU LIGHT FIRE NOW (OR NOT)" lore which was still interesting, just don't see why it takes 5 guys to light 1 fire that they already rekindled when DS1 all you had to do was jump your hollow ♥♥♥ in there unless they themselves were thefire. makes more sense as i write it.

Inb4 TL;DR, It's ranked 1-5, one game in the rank i think they deserve (1 being best) and all paragraphed so it's easy to read, If you haven't played BB or Demon Souls don't read it, If you struggle to read don't read it. upto you. chances are if you post TL;DR you did read it and you're wasting your own time by commenting, i am now expecting a lot of TL;DR.

No I have not since I neither own a ps3 or 4 but I am well aware die-hards of the series still rank it near the top. I guess for me the list goes; DS1/3, BB, DeS and DS2

How'd you play BB with no ps4?

Friends do exist, I swear! :(

Why does everyone hate DS2?

hardcore fan whining...
I loved DS2, the dlcs where realy realy great too.
people forgett that each game in a series is and should be different, people instantly cry when game x is not the same as game y.

[Haxed]

I know, for example they cry that the firelink shrine isn't connected to the world when it is.. they haven't been to the untended graves yet i assume or realized that the dark souls lore is complicated as ♥♥♥♥. but yeah

Dark Souls 1 still the best.
Dark Souls 3 on par with Demons Souls.
Then there's Dark Souls 2...

[Iron Breaker]

#1, DS2 due to insane replayablity due to comunity
#2 Demons Souls due to insane story and world
#3 awesome :D
#4 ds3, too incomplete and rekt pvp

#non-existant its not a souls game get over sony fanboys your trying to argue that fallout 3 is a elder scrolls

BB, DkS1, DeS, DkS2, haven't decided where DkS3 goes yet

I didn't play BB with a high rally weapon, and I loved the story and atmosphere. I pumped vit hard meaning while I had a ton of HP and was unlikely to suddenly die, it took like 3 blood vials to heal me up, and fights dragged on because of my low damage/rally so I often ended up running out of blood vials over long boss fights. That made it more difficult and balanced for me, and I loved the fashion and mob design as well! Brought back that old DkS1 feeling but better graphics and far more polished

The DLC almost made up for how bad the base game was, almost.

[slide me my spiders]

Dark Souls 3
Dark Souls
Dark Souls 2

The thing is, I enjoyed Dark Souls 2 more than Dark Souls. Obejctively however, I beleive Dark Souls to be the better game in terms of design and so on. Dark Souls 3 is blowing me away. Even if I ranked DS2 lowest, I still put hundreds of hours in and loved it.

When you compare it to Dark Souls 3 which has very similar gameplay the differences become obvious.

World design being the biggest upgrade going from DKS2 to 3. The world is much more labyrinthine and fun to explore. In DKS2 it was often just a straight path with barriers on either side. No vertical level design at all save for a few areas.

The combat hitboxes and sound design was improved. And the bosses are a lot more challenging in a fun way. Instead of throwing badly designed bosses that die in a few hits, or gauntlets as bosses, each boss is thought out and intricately designed.

The enemies are a lot more dark and twisted in 3. They feel like they fit in a Dark Souls, Berserk-style universe. Dark Souls 2 had dumb enemy design like wooly mammoths in armor and full armored knights using katanas and running like ninjas... Dark Souls 3 has enemies that fit the universe a lot more.

For me its DS1 (was my first. Your first is always your best, even if its not lol) DS3, Demon Souls, DS2. Haven't played BB. All of them where great imo though.

Admittedly there are a lot of things I do not like about DS3 but for some reason I'm just having more fun with it than it deserves for its issues.

Demon souls isn't a dark souls game either. Considering the extreme similarity between them though they're considered "souls games" and so should Bloodborne. Sony is ♥♥♥♥ though.

similar gameplay... no. bosses.. no... enemies.. no.. the enemies of DS3 are mostly copy pasted from BB. the "wooly mamoths" in DS2 were people who "ascended" into a greater form, they went through a ritual to become that. Whether or not they willingly did it is debatable considering it's hinted at as people inwillingly being changed and knights willingly doing it.. the ALLONE knights are like that because they were trained by a samurai from the east (alonne) hence their name. the area designs are different but i like both. the gameplay is greatly different but that's because DS2 focused on PvP quite a bit, not saying DS3 is bad in anyway compared to DS2 combat. the hit boxes... lets put it this way.. i do like the fact that champion gundyr or whatever spin kicks me in the face after i rolled and ♥♥♥♥♥ me up, not even mad. at least he connected, i think DS2 went for the same thing except design wise they just couldn't get the AI to actually physically connect to you and hit you. (boss wise, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ casual AI are just bad)

1: Dark Souls 3 (bigger, faster, amazing graphics, smooth as hell)
2: Dark Souls (Dat classic)
3: Dark souls 2 (very underated game, masterpiece!)
4: Demon Soul
5: Bloodborne (too short, area all the same, too much emo thing and lack of weapons and magic, but it's a very good action game)
That's only my opinion :-)
