Should I get darksouls3?
| The lore won't automagically enhances itself by playing the first and second game, so I'd say starting with 3 is fine.
| You need a controller if you're playing on pc
| ^but I tried DS1 and everyone agrees that it is a bad port (even the dev/publisher agree to the point that they don't give it a price cut anymore)
And DS fans that I know told me not to play DS2 because the director is different.

2 is a total mess and should be avoided, yes. It's unbalanced at times and is a generally worse experience compared to 1.
>>82418
Well, yeah, sorta. The last boss (which I won't spoil here because clearly OP hasn't played any DS) does make more connection when you have played 1; even bossess like Aldrich have few minor details here and there that hint towards a connection with the first game.
| >>82418
Still, those connections can be revisited by playing 3 first then going back to 1. The only problem with this is that OP will have an overall worse experience because of how damn bugfest the first game is ("woohoo, Smough is stuck on that wall now!").
| >>82637 thanks! I'm not OP, just some other gurl trying to get into DS.
I always try to play any series starting from the earliest game, it would be weird to start from DS3 lol, I guesd I'll give it a try later.
Additional note: when I google "dark souls 2 different director" most result on first page is about how DS2 is the best DS lol

I can't quite say I had a good experience with DS2. I see some of my friends enjoying them, but personally, I find DS1 to have the sweet spot between challenging and bullshit-ridden.
Well, either way, if you're new then I won't pull you off 2. Only if you have played 1 and did some NG+ reruns would I pull you and tell you to just play DS3, skipping 2 altogether.
| Dark Souls 2 isn't bad, not amazing, but not not bad. People LOVE to hate it. It's definitely still worth playing if you like the Souls series, imo. The main game is pretty okay, but the DLC is probably the best part and redeeming element of Dark Souls 2.
>>82418
I agree that it can, and I'm a fan of DS lore, but to some people they just don't care about the lore Dark Souls, even if they're the type to enjoy a good story. It's not for everyone.
| And since the Scholar of the First Sin is just a better Dark Souls 2 with the DLC already included now, you don't have to worry about buying 3 separate DLCs
| Should I buy DS3, if I didn't like the gameplay of 2, but I liked Lords Of The Fallen and loved Nioh. Or should I buy The Surge inserted?
| Thanks guys,I guess I will get all of them at one point,will get DS2 and 3 for now and wait for the sales for DS1.WHY IS DS1 NOT ON SALES?
| >>82847 I bought it like 2 years ago when they did a sale. IIRC it was only 5$.
They don't do anymore sale because it is a bad port. If they sell DS1 on cheap, people will play DS1 and then most likely never want to touch the 2nd and 3rd game because for some people (like me) it is unplayable.
| >>82785 ds 3 is a bit faster paced than 1 or 2 but much slower than nioh, so it may be good to you or it may not
