I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

Depends on your platform. I think Dark Souls 1 is very accessible. Some people would recommend Demons' Souls, but I think it's a bit more rough and punishing.

Honestly you can start with any of them and if you ask around these forums, you'll find a balanced mix of goons for whose first souls was DeS, DS1, DS2, DS3, or BB. (Okay probably nobody played Sekiro first, its really hard)

I played DS1 first and its my all time favorite for not just the level design, but the WORLD design, which sadly the other souls games don't do as much.

But 2 and 3 are in some ways a little more polished, have better graphics and slightly improved controls and more responsive combat. Same for BB.

On the other end, Demon's is a little rougher but also a little simpler. It has a different format which can make it easy to try different things if you get stuck, but it also has some obtuse mechanics.

You can't go wrong, pick any of them, and please post about your first experiences ITT :) You can only play your first souls once and its a magical journey.

As someone who has been loving my journey through souls I managed to get into them by playing Bloodborne first. However the difference in combat between Bloodborne and Dark Souls 1 was a little tough for me but the game was still so awesome that I kept playing and am now near the end of Dark Souls 2! :3:

Cant play Outriders because the servers keep going down, and the game requires a constant stable internet connection otherwise it boots you back to the main menu.

sekiro is indeed very difficult but it kinda counterbalances that by removing the corpse run mechanic (very liberating) and throwing checkpoints at you. i don't think I'm all that far in the game still but I've found 19 idols (bonfires) and literally just stumbled upon the most recent one while trying to find a place to count them

Just gotta pause for a moment and respect the hidden truth that was revealed in that discussion about chili dark souls.
It is hard to beat a dark souls game, but it is also hard to make a dark souls game.

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.
Here's my newbie souls advise:

- the beginning is harder than the end, don't get discouraged. You will struggle on the first few bosses but once it 'clicks' you'll roll through tons of bosses later on.

- losing souls sucks but as you get further in the game you'll get more souls anyways, and levels really aren't that important. Don't sweat it if you lose souls.

- if you get stuck, anything can be beaten with the power of friendship (summoning friends is like choosing to lower the difficulty for a boss, which is fine and good and fun)

Take your time, be observant, read item descriptions, and have fun :)

Sekiro's world is really cool and the boss fights are the best swordfighting I've ever experienced in a game. The way you feel bosses pressure you, but then as you learn them you turn it around and pressure them, it feels incredible.

But the simple fact you can't summon friends to help if you're stuck on a tough boss means it turns off a ton of people.

All of snakehound uses weapons from MGS2. Laughing Octopus uses the tendrils and SMGs Solidus has.

So I just finished the story in MH Rise I think and it was such a non-ending but also very good because of just how happy every character is! I love this game and I'm happy I could finally find a MonHun game I can seriously get into! :D

MH games have stories? Never really played them butI thought they were basically on the level of sonic or mario.

All of them are mashups of bosses from the previous games. Their names are an MGS3 boss shoved into an MGS1 boss.
