I think DS 1 is still my favorite, but I've never finished demons souls. Just wondering other peoples opinions. Leave reasons below
Edit: I'm surprised Dark Souls 3 is winning.... In the polls I've seen Dark souls normally wins

Dark Souls 2 is like the Dragon Ball GT of Dark Souls. That mess should have never been made.

super simple summary of all three games in my experience: 1: best PvE and storyline is top tier, PvP is ridden with twinks and hackers but still fun if you can find a good duel or two. The game is not friendly to new players though as it's difficulty and gameplay are foreign to some, and the UI certainly shows its age. Getting past those things as a new player opens up quite a deep RPG experience. 2: worst PvE and the atmosphere feels almost completely different than 1. I don't mean that in the "ds2 should have been a ds1 clone" sense, but rather in the "it's a different game" sense. It's not bad or objectively worse, just different. Sometimes it feels like it's a different series all together. PvP is the absolute best of the series, and certainly the most fluent yet complex version. 3: best of both worlds. Follows an interesting story kind of stemming from 1; lots of challenging moments and lots of throwbacks. PvP is not as good as 2 but better than 1; though the interesting mechanics from 2 like how not locking on would allow you to play some mind games with people are non existent unfortunately, though I see a higher variety of weapons and builds and the memes are top tier.

Shameless bump

Demon souls: amazing if you're willing to go through the BS to get it. Bloodborne: Fun gameplay, little replay value, no variety, PvP still broken literally. Dark souls: Fun gameplay, lots of variety, plenty of replay value, still PvP but some hackers, great bosses and good story Dark Souls 2: good story, armor, weapons, spells, but little replay value, gameplay is lackluster, bosses get stail, map design is terrible. Dark souls 3: easier of the rest but still fun, gameplay is good, polished mechanics and the map design is good. Lots of variety, plenty of replay value, good dlc and bosses. Only complaint is story that's hard to pick up onto trying to compare it to DS and DS2. Also PvP is a meta fest with parrying being the easiest thing to do compared to the other games.

Dark souls 3 is easier. It's smaller, and easier to navigate. But it's also more polished, the combat is more fun and responsive, plenty of throwbacks to 1, some great bosses....overall it's just so much more fun to play than the others. Not saying the others are bad. Never played demon souls, but beaten the rest, and liked them all (yes, even ds2). Bloodborne is a close second, but i just don't find myself wanting to pick that back up like i do ds3.

Dark Souls 3. I started with DS2(not SotFS) and I loved it, got Bloodborne, took me about a year to start liking it a lot. Got DS3 loved everything about it. Got DS1, haven't gotten too far, but it's more fun than 2, but more confusing coming from how the newer games work. I have found Dark Souls 3 to be the hardest, especially The Ringed City. It's almost impossible for me to go back and play DS2 because of how they designed it. It's hard for the wrong reasons and felt like they tried to be hard for the sake of it.

Edited by Blue: 7/28/2017 9:08:02 PMBloodborne is my favorite but my second choice would be Dark souls 2 but I know longer own it as I rage quit one day and properly split into 2 and at a friend's house I played Dark Souls 3 It's very nice but casualized.
-
I don't understand how anyone could not choose 1, it was the only one of the 3 games that was actually hard, plus 3 was very heavily casualized so it loses a ton of points.

Dark souls 3 is my favorite by far. It's just more polished than the previous ones. I kinda hate how linear it is though compared to 1&2. I love that I can go back to firelink or Majula and I go to different places from there. Dark souls 3 isn't even that big in the first place so I don't see why they didn't do this. I enjoyed walking everywhere too in DS1 and only teleporting to like main bonfires. There's some mechanics they should've brought from DS2 like dual wielding. That was a really awesome thing to do if you had the required stats. I still enjoy DS3 though it's the only one I've been able to play multiple times on and make more characters.
