I've only played DS 1-3, and dropped BB and ER so for me it is DS1 and DS2 at the top and everything else below it because I like the slower more methodical feeling of 1-2. BB onward took the worst stuff from the 1 DLC of bosses comboing you and doing really long bullshit that forces you to roll all the time (limited by DS1 engine and made it the new normal)
I wish the series took more from DS1 and DS2 than AotA and BB

Demon's Souls demake is one of the worst examples of a game being bastardized so it definitely doesn't deserve to be on the same tier especially since it ruined the art and atmosphere which are the best parts of the original.

Begone Sony cultist. The game is emulatable, everybody knows that aesthetic notwithstanding there is nothing remarkable about it. Mechanically and in terms of boss quality it is a worse game than DS3, which isn't even the best Souls game.

Bloodborne is the ultimate realization of everything learned by and attempted by Miyazaki up to that point. It was also wholly built around its faster pace from the beginning unlike Dark Souls 3 and later games that would just slap the speed into it in a completely out of place "THE ZOOMERS NEED MORE 20 MOVE BOSS COMBOS AND TURN BASED ROLL SLOP" design philosophy. Bloodborne is actual artistry about Godhood and evolution, inspired by r/K selection theory with a brilliant twist on what first appears to be a generic game about werewolves and Draculas. It has the best soundtrack they've ever done which was recorded entirely with a real orchestra instead of using synthesized bullshit. Its level design is virtually flawless. It is the first From Software game to even attempt having spells with actually cool and outside the box effects and animations, something they would even attempt again until Elden Ring. The blood vial system is also a fucking incredible filter for subhuman zoomers, who STILL complain even playing the game in 2026 when there are literally 0 load times to justify their frustration over not simply being given everything they need all at once for simply asking. Simultaneously saying "whoa, this game from 7-8 years prior's bosses are pitiful compared to Elden Ring's soulless attack spam bosses!" and "WTF WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL MY HEALING ITEMS?" Maybe get hit less and die less you fucking faggot retard.

Bloodborne literally transcends From Software and the "Souls" series as a whole. It is not "the best souls game" but rather "one of the best games ever made".
>>
>>746072413
Elden Ring is better.
>>
reasons ppl like blood born: regnerating health, can get away with spamming because of it
reasons ppl like sekiro: no resource management, all powerful defensive option lets you ignore positioning

funny how the most popular games also seem to cater to the dumbest individuals...

>ds1
actual garbage with both shit combat and build variety.
it gets glazed for its "metroidvania interconnected maps" but that is NOT level design. level design is the placement of enemies, terrain, items, etc. and ds1 definitely does NOT have the best level design in the ds trilogy, let alone the entirety of fromsoft's catalogue. stormveil castle absolutely mogs the entirety of ds1's level design, ESPECIALLY the dumpster fires known as lost izalith and tomb of giants.
its bosses range from either being mid (ornstein and smough) or completely fucking retarded (capra demon, bed of chaos, moonlight butterfly, etc). the boss fights are just way too slow and simplistic to be seriously compared to modern examples. the average souls player of today can easily first try most of the bosses in ds1.
>ds2
arguably the most experimental of the ds trilogy.
it introduced several retarded features (adaptability, soul memory, healing consumables) but also added genuinely nice features that would return in future games (dual wielding, immediate access to bonfire warping, more ring slots).
the game gets unfairly criticized by shitters (see: matthewmatosis) for supposed enemy spam, but literally the only way for you to get swarmed in ds2 is if you run blindly across the map. the game gives you plenty of corridors and choke points to deal with crowds.
>ds3
the best the ds trilogy has to offer, with the most memorable boss fights in fromsoft's catalogue (gael, friede, nameless king, midir). also includes several new features that would return in elden ring (fp and weapon skills).
>sekiro
my first fromsoft game.
has one of the best combat systems among fromsoft games, but the nonexistent build variety is a bummer.
literally just as linear as ds3, but only ds3 will get criticized for being too linear.

I don't get how anyone can like DS2. That game is genuinely ass and plays like an indie dark souls rip off game.

DSII started off under the direction of Tomohiro Shibuya. It was going to be even more open world. They got a lot done, but Bamco came down on them and forced them to scrap half the game. They put Yui Tanimura in charge who had to pick up the pieces 6 months from launch. Bamco originally designated DS2 to be a PS4 game and then decided that nope, we're actually putting it on the ps3, which forced the downgrade, Cell architecture, garbage gtx 7800 rebrand GPU and 256MB+256MB = PS3

They tried to expand the engine with a new lighting system but it fell through and forced them to visually downgrade the shaders through most of the game. The project was rebooted almost entirely when Tanimura's team took it over. They had to rework the original, unfinished 'open world' version of the game and take what little bits of it were complete enough to use and put together a full-length game out of it. As a result, Drangleic is missing many, many of its intended areas, transitions were cut, levels were left unpolished and unfinished, questlines were cut, etc.

Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring have a lot of Tanimura's ideas for Dark Souls 2

I remember seeing the trailers when DS2 was coming out. It looked so much more different than the game was. Granted I only played vanilla on release so I have no clue if Scholar ever fixed the host of issues with it.
My main complaints with DS2 is it feels like you are moving in water a lot of the time and not in that heavy weighted feel of DS1. The weapons never felt like they had any weight to them when you hit things. The hitboxes were also completely fucked.
>>
i take solace in that with time more and more people seem to come to the realization that Dark Souls 2 is better than 3, and that they were led astray by the opinions of influencers who made their decisions for them.
give it a few more years and people will just unanimously agree that it's better than 3 for all its innovation and risks that it took, rather than the bland linear self-fellating game that 3 was.

S tier
>DaS
Partially here by nostalgia, but the ideas that it has are my favorites, even if often times it cant fully do them well
>BB
Not a fan of the setting like everyone, but objectively the best designed levels in the series, combat is good too.

A tier
>DeS
The creativity really peaked here, what lacks in polish more than it makes up for pure unfiltered bold ideas.
>DaS3
Have a soft spot for this, its really not that good of a game, but it has my favorite setting and some of my favorite designs

B tier
>ER
Too big for its own good but damn its a very pretty game, and that 1st playthrough is unforgettable
>AC6
Dont care for mecha personally but this really grabbed me, from the customization to the gameplay and weirdly the characters

C tier
>DaS2
Not a bad game but it just doesnt feel good to play, wouldnt call it underrated but its probably better than its reputation
>Sekiro
Their most cinematic title (in a good way), but i always felt the combat lacked depth, really wish it got a sequel.

D tier
>NR
Nice character design and the night lords are fun fights but im just not into mp games much
>DB (so far)
Weird "party game-like" structure and i just didnt like the characters, combat felt surprisingly nice though

>>746067251

DS2 Beta Version (Shibuya)

>The crossroads at the shaded woods was made to connect different previously unrelated zones together
>The path from Heide's to the Warf was also a later rushjob

>The gyrm? They used to be builders in the employ of the royal family, and it was them who discovered the Shrine of Amana that connects to the ancient underground city of the unde- oh, sorry, I mean the undead crypt, the thing it was repurposed into

Retail version (2014)
>Tanimura has to salvage DS2
>Tanimura in the Design Works interview basically saying "I would've scrapped the whole thing I was left with if it was up to me, but we had deadlines to meet."

It's not perfect by any means, but it has really tight and satisfying combat, the story is good, the bosses are very well designed (especially the final boss of the DLC), and there's some smart gameplay mechanics like the ability to earn back a free healing item when you're completely out just by attacking the boss, leaning into the higher risk high reward nature. If you like these types of games at all, it's absolutely worth playing.

This seems like a good thread to post my opinion.
I just played dark souls 3 for the first time and Elden Ring is so much better in every way that it's staggering. I loved DS3, but the most mid levels in elden ring clears the best levels in dark souls 3 by a country mile
>stormveil

Even castle mourne feels comparable to stuff like Irithyll in terms of size

The building to the left of the Sunlight Altar always looked a little out of place - turns out it's a match for the entrance to the Depths (when scaled slightly differently). The end of the hallway has the same window (though with the shutter hinged the wrong way).

Dark Souls ages even more poorly when you see all the shit they ripped off.

DS2 should be above DS3.
>>
S - Sekiro/BB/DS1
A - DeS
B - Elden Ring DS3
C - DS2

Sekiro is just super focused and does what it sets out to do phenomenally, DS nailed the formula and had the best exploration due to the world design, BB had great combat and each area was extremely well put together.
I would rate DeS higher but it's very experimental and I think it misses as much as it hits. The whole series has become super combat focused and I'd like to have seen a reality where they pursued the more puzzle/adventure side that DeS explored.
ER was fun but quite unfocused and while I got through it solo, I don't like how they are pushing the difficulty of bosses. I don't think each game needs to top the previous game on difficulty. DS3 is very well done but too linear and too much of a retread for it to be higher.
DS2 is just kinda ass but it did have amazing endgame PVP , lots of choice. DS2 was probably still better than your average game of that year.

I am pretty tired of the formula now though.

there's so much downtime in elden ring in multiple playthroughs and it makes me like the more linear gameplay the other games have.

Elden ring patch 1.03 is their peak. patch 1.04 and onwards was when they overhauled the enemy AI for the "modern audience" instead of using the AI that the devs themselves thought was fun.

The only standout levels in DaS1 are Sen's Fortress and Painted World of Ariamis, both don't even come close to the best levels in DaS3 like Undead Settlement or Lothric Castle.

kinda agree but i feel like i'd want to place elden ring and ds2 in the same tier even though ds2 is a shitshow with a heart of gold while elden ring is huge and impressive but thoroughly misguided.

elden ring combat doesn't have the classic "souls" weight so all that's left is fromsoft jank. the game is also less replayable than souls games and the areas are generally just less interesting because of the open world meme. it's still cool but i just don't like it that much. idk how else to describe it, but whenever i see an elden ring enemy or area i think "not this shit again"

Demake's existence is a net negative to the world, that's why it should be at the bottom.

shit opinion

Every single From game I've played is objectively S or high A tier, even Sekiro which I personally just can't get along with.
And that is why westoid """devs""" are still so mad at them.

>>746067251
without Demon's Souls, you wouldn't have any of the other roll/parry-slops, so it's automatically S-tier.
Dark souls' horrible input lag puts it in A-tier

>Putting something in S tier because it's old.
I'm tired of your shitty lists.

it was the first fire emblem game i played and at the time i thought the gameplay and story were decent even if the characters looked a bit ugly.
