The first one is the only one I haven't played (and DeS). Is it worth to go through in 2024? (2024)

Dark Souls 1 is the best game in the series. But you should approach it without expectations. Do what would make sense, not what you think should make sense based on other games you have played.

1 is less obnoxious than Elden Ring simply because bosses won't throw the fricking kitchen sink at you

Yes and once you've played it 2 or 3 more times and familiarize yourself with whole map layouts and item pickups you should play enemy and item randomizers.
My favorite way to flush a week away when I'm anxiously waiting on some other release.

you are a moron

1 is the best, but you're probably not gonna care much about it when the rest of the series has just regurgitated most things from it. If you didn't play it on release you won't get it. Also remastered is a bad version of it

only good game from software has ever made

>I also heard 1 is less "obnoxious" than 2. Is it true?
Yeah
>Start with 5/10 Estus
>healing off it is faster
>don't need to buff AGi to start off with midroll I-Frames
>DS1 Endurance = DS2 Endurance + Vitality
>don't lose health on death
>don't need Branches of Yore or Pharros Lockstones to access hidden items or rooms
But on the flipside
>gimped teleporting mechanics
>can't despawn enemies (but there are less of them and they are easier to deal with)

You had to experience Dark Souls 1 in the 2010s, before Bloodborne, DS3, the hype and stereotype it has become that we are now all so accostumed to. It's still very good but it lost it's charm and mystique due to how much it was reproduced and milked. You won't feel it's personnality like we felt it, how out of the ordinary it was. The weirdness of getting the sh*t kicked out of you at every turn because you were not used to this type of game design and level design, the unique blend of genres, the renewal of the dark fantasy with that typical japanese creativity bordering insanity.
Now you'll just see it as another tryhard soul game that's less ambitious than Elden Ring.
Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1 are the last unique and novel experiences the videogame industry produced. It can still be felt but it requires some real gamer iontuition, not sure you'll have the required power level.

you're not missing much. same with des. same with ds2/3. ER, Sekiro, and BB have you covered.

BB and Sekiro are the great games. ER and Dark Souls and Demon's are a pretty mixed bag. The Namco games in particular are full of empty and unfinished areas.

absolutely worth it

Its alright, the bosses are all mid at best, theres no good ones like gael or midir, and the game is pretty easy, you can just wear heavy armor and take no damage

The first one is the only one I haven't played (and DeS).
Lol, lmao even

The Dark souls trilogy are the weakest of the recent fromsoft games,

ds1 and DeS are the best games in the series.

1 is the best souls game, and shares top spot for from games with bb
just make sure youre playing blind, messages in the world will guide you

It’s one of the better games in the whole series.

I played through it for the first time few weeks ago and I did end up liking it quite a bit. It is a fricking chore to play compared to elden ring but once it clicked, I really enjoyed it.

It is worth it, but you have to treat it like a trip to the museum and not hold it to the same standards you have for a game made in 2020+.

I ragequittd yesterday bros...
Was having a perfect run and then siegmeyer decided to kill himself in that pit filled with demons in Lost Izalith

Sekiro was my first game and holy sh*t it spoiled the rest for me.
