03.22.26 | Excuse my rant - I just got done with ER and I have some shit to say.
I hated Elden Ring. The open world is overly big and empty. THe best parts of the game are the legacy dungeons which play just like Dark Souls 3 any way. There is nothing fun about delving into the same 5 dungeons to fight the same copy pasted bosses a million times to grind levels. First dragon encounter? Amazing! 6 more times - fuck that. Nah, open worlds aren't always necessary. Would never replay this like I would Dark Souls games. |

03.22.26 | Elden Ring is a beautiful game with amazing bosses but yeah it doesn't have much replay value imo.
This ranking is kinda diabolical bro. Demon's Souls deserves more love. |

03.22.26 | Elden rings my fav game of all time most likely. That being said the endgame and the dlcs balancing is questionable |

03.22.26 | Demons souls needs to be higher and swap Elden ring and dark souls but hell yeah fromsoft rules |

03.22.26 | hmmm might boot up the ol' Demon's Souls on my PS3 here in a bit... apparently there's a private server that one can connect to doesn't look too complicated based on the instructions in the Discord
might be pretty inactive dunno but I was considering revisiting with absolutely no online functionality anyways |

03.22.26 | DS1 doesnt stand up too well nowadays but its so instrumental in paving the way for action games since it came out. It really was such a masterclass of level and game design. It had secrets and intricate enemy designs placed within a world that actually felt like it existed in another realm. It really is a perfect game up to the Ornstein & Smough fight. Elden Ring is obviously the new flavor but i dont like how some of the mechanics that really need to be improved upon just arent and the boss fights are a little too flashy and more intense than they need to be. The final boss is really pretty and almost feels like a bloodborne boss. BB best btw dont @ |

03.22.26 | Bloodborne is my favourite still. Elden Ring is up there but my enthusiasm plummets after Leyndell. The DLC was great though |

Haven’t play Demon Souls but I reckon it’d be better than Sekiro and DSII |

03.22.26 | 1. Sekiro, never slows down or drags and perfect difficulty balancing. Amazing bosses and areas, as close to flawless as it gets.
2. Bloodborne, neck and neck with Sekiro, aesthetic is gorgeous and DLC is amazing.
3. Elden Ring, some of the highest highs and lowest lows, overall an amazing experience still. DLC is also great.
4. Dark Souls III, some of the best bosses in the series, but the areas (besides Irithyll) rarely stand out.
5. Dark Souls, first half is close to perfect, second half suffers from lack of dev time. DLC slaps tho.
6. Dark Souls II, has the lowest lows of the series, but still a good game. DLC helps a lot, as long as you skip the atrocious co-op parts.
Not played Demon Souls yet, need to get on it. |

03.22.26 | No disrespect to Demon’s Souls, I still enjoy it! I’ve beat it on PS3 and PS5, but I find it’s the one I want to return to the least. I put DS2 ahead of it, because despite its shortcomings it’s actually one of the most replayable games of the bunch imo. I really do enjoy Sekiro, but I also find it hard to return to and don’t find the lore or story as compelling. My top 3 are all my 10/10s to me, but I can understand putting Bloodborne in front of Elden Ring, but ER is such a fun game to re-roll and get lost in. I’ve also found the lore to be some of my favorite and the expansion is something else. |

03.22.26 | Bloodborne is undoubtedly my favorite, and I really don’t like Elden Ring much, but it’s one of those games where I understand all the love and acclaim but can just recognize that it’s not for me.
If there were some way to have the gameplay feel closer to Sekiro or Bloodborne then I would really love it… the souls games just feel too slow for me and Elden Ring felt like a spiritual successor to those more than anything else. |

trilo
03.23.26 | i'd prob rank em
bloodborne > dark souls > demon's souls > dark souls 3 > sekiro > elden ring > dark souls 2
on launch elden ring would have been at the top but the deeper i got the less i liked it. way too long with too much copy pasted fluff and some of the endgame bosses are dogshit. the dlc was even worse. i think i'm just over the incessant "u died git gud" design that started creeping into the series with ds2. going back and playing the earlier games only cemented how much more readable, and thus fair, the enemies used to be. now mfs fight like anime villains and you need to get walloped until you've muscle memory'd the entire fight. i'm just over it and think the marketing gimmick of them being THE HARDEST GAMES EVER poisoned the series. |

03.23.26 | Everyone acts like these games are horribly difficult, try beating Ninja Gaiden 2 on master ninja difficulty and then talk about hard |

03.23.26 | top 5 are all S tier games, I'm fine with any order people put them in |

03.23.26 | Elden ring is overrated but nothing in comparison to Sekiro which is up there as the most overrated game of all time. |
rabidfish
03.23.26 | Demon Souls is pure vibes. Clunky game with obscure mechanics but groundbreaking visuals, probably still the purest example of dark fantasy in games. Dark Souls is a beautiful game, but the 2nd act after you get the lord vessel just falls really short compared to the heights of the first act. DS2 and 3 are diminished returns with some great moments. Bloodborne almost suffers from the same problem except BB has the nightmare of mensis as its final act which is peak, so they kinda fixed that. Elden Ring is super fun, but the vibe is just not there for me at all. Sekiro is fun as fuck, loved that game, but just a completely different vibe.
if i had to choose, i'd go with bloodborne, the one with the most polished mechanics and game-loop with some of the best art in modern games to this day. |

1 and 2 are pretty much tied, but I'd rather play Bloodborne these days.
Bloodborne, DS1, and DS3 and among my favourite games of all time. Fucking unreal experiences.

03.23.26 | It came out recently that FromSoftware rejected a remake of Bloodborne by Bluepoint. Which I respect because it's perfect as it is. |
Christbait
03.23.26 | Bloodborne and Dark Souls 1 were some of the best cooperative experiences I've ever had. Just running countless Ornstein & Smough fights because Anor Londo was such a blast to play. Similarly with Bloodborne, I wouldn't have ever beat the game had I not had access to co-op play. I tried DS3 and played close to 100 hours of Elden Ring, but neither ever hit the same as DS1 and Bloodborne. |
