the only souls bosses i've not beaten are the 3 people at the end of the sunken king DLC and the 2 tigers at the end of the ivory king DLC. i'd beat the tigers but getting there was so annoying i gave up

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.

I'm feeling the itch to play a demon/dark souls/bloodborne game but i've beaten them all twice other than DS3 and I want something new

Bloodborne is the best followed by DS2 and then demon souls imo

im gonna replay dark souls 2 bc i bought the expansion pack things then maybe dark souls 1

but im gonna finish dark souls 3 first

thats my opinion

If you want to play and kind of zone out, I'd recommend DS2 or the original.

In all things, I think you'd be most satisfied replaying the first game.

But that being said, you should replay Bloodborne because it is the loving bomb. I just blasted through it doing a Blades of Mercy run for the first time and it was a goddamn treat. I subbed the Rakuyo for awhile too, DLC is the bee's knees.

idk theyre all p fun i havent beaten 3 yet though and had to force myself through 2 so that might be same situation here.

i cant rly replay ds1 because theres no more surprises so i get bored and rush it so i die a lot then stop playing.

All their games are fantastic, Fromsoft best game maker out there for sure but man they can never get it 100%. Really really wish DS3's PVP was as fun as 2's.

who would agree that Dark Soul 3 has the worst combat

I would agree. The designers got lazy and wanted to live up to the hype so they sped everything up and slowed you down.

I think that's a little unfair. A lot of the enemies are tricky and have more diverse moves than we've ever seen from Fromsoft before. If you go back to the first DS the speed disparity is still mostly there it's just you're slow as gently caress and the enemies are only slow as gently caress. The main killer is lack of diversity in PVP I think. Infusions are useless, magic is useless etc.

A big change I really liked is you don't have to loving upgrade your armour and farm titanite for years. You're free to mix and match and fashion souls to your hearts content.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
Bloodbourne is the best souls game by a wide margin. DS2 is a living nightmare, torture game that is not fun to play.

Global warming is barely a big deal at all compared to the trajectory we used to be on. We'll have to do a lot of environmental engineering projects along certain shorelines and it will be a little warmer and wetter in some places, big fucking deal.
Its interesting how wildly different everyones perceptions of difficulty and quality are for these games. I thought DS2 combat sucked dicks, with 3 having the overall best controls

DS3 had good feeling controls but its poise was stupid and to many enemies had unlimited stamina.

It's just a really really good game. Better than I realized a game could be, honestly.

ds2 is the most replayable imo, and has the most content. i didn't like it as much at first but it has grown to be my favorite. meanwhile i have no desire to ever touch ds3 again after 2 playthroughs

try dragon's dogma: dark arisen too if you haven't. it's not completely directly comparable, but it definitely falls within the "third person fantasy action rpg with great combat that does not hold your hand at all" sort of wheelhouse.
