Games Dark Souls

Listen, I have to ask: does anyone here play Dark Souls? Or is a fan of FromSoftware? Hell, even any Soulslike game!

If so then which game is your favorite? Favorite character? Favorite quest or ending? Opening up the bonfire for all who enjoy these masterpieces to talk ^u^

I don't play Dark Souls but I have played the others. My fave is Sekiro. I'm very attached to the atmosphere, some of the maps and Kuro. I love the Shura ending

I played Demon Souls a little bit when it first came out and enjoyed it. Time constraints prohibited me from really getting into it. Sadly, it wasn't until Bloodborne that I got to experience a FromSoftware game all the way through. It led me to buy Sekiro but for some reason I never got a chance to get all the way through it. I thoroughly enjoyed a soulslike from Bandai Namco called Code Vein. I also pre-ordered and picked up Elden Ring but made the mistake of buying it on PC. My computer was on the edge and it turned out it wouldn't play well. I wanted to play it badly but it never happened.

While I don't like the games as much now (mostly from playing them too much) They have definitely had a great effect on my life and been a great inspiration for what I want to make in the future with my game development. Their difficulty and challenge, world design and exploration, the atmosphere and aesthetics, choice in build variety, interesting lore and story and general combat where you have to more consider what you are doing make for engaging experiences. I just think its gotten a but repetitive, especially with Elden Ring to me not really innovating enough with mechanics, especially with how big the game is.

Dark Souls 1 will be my favorite of the games cus of its inter-connected world, just general nostalgia for being the first of the games I played and the world and enemy combat encounters being the best I would say in the series. Dark Souls 3 will definitely have the best bosses in my opinion and I like the variety in gimmick and more traditional styled bosses. Been doing a broken sword run in Dark Souls 3 and currently doing the DLC. If we count Sekiro tho then that game in my opinion goes beyond everything the other games have done in my opinion.

I've heard great things about Sekiro! I've only watched lore videos about it but it reminds me of FromSoft games before the Souls titles where you follow established characters' journeys like in Kuon

YOOOO Lies of P. is so cool! I haven't played it yet (def want to just a lack of time and money sadly like with most games I've been itching to play) but I got to catch a livestream of someone fighting Arlecchino and holy shit??? The moveset is insane!

Oh a Heian horror interesting, they are very good vibe curators aren't they? I personally dream of a remaster of their Yoshitsune game. Others souls like I enjoyed are Bloodborne, Code Vein (excited for sequel), Elden Ring, Nioh 2 but yeah I'm mainly in love with Sekiro due to it hitting several of my storytelling and worldbuilding soft spots

i only play fromsoft games, well i sometimes try other games, but i only truly desire fromsoft games. or maybe really good soulslikes, such as ai limit. i literally can't enjoy anything else anymore. i think the only non-souls game i genuinely enjoyed was armored core, which is another fromsoft game, of course.

my favorite is elden ring due to its unending lore. i lose myself in it. i think i've watched every single youtube video and read about every theory on the lore. i've also developed my own theories.

second would be either bloodborne or dark souls 3. gameplay-wise, they're equal to elden ring for me. bloodborne also has immense lore, and its dlc was crazy good. after that, sekiro, ds, demon's souls, and ds2 would follow. personally, i thought ds2 was the hardest of all, and overall it felt a little disorganized as a game compared to the rest. i really enjoyed the remastered ds, as it was a huge part of my childhood. sekiro, of course, has the best combat gameplay, without a doubt. it has no equal.

favorite quest: i'd say ranni. the excitement of walking the path to the moonlight greatsword feels really good and satisfying. favorite ending, also ranni's ending. favorite boss: it's either lady maria of the astral clocktower or radagon of the golden order, the music is something else, it makes you literally feel as if you're facing god. lady maria is probably my favorite character in all the soulsborne games as well.

as for nightreign, since i only enjoy single player, it's very hard, but i keep trying to git gud.
