I am wondering if there is a strong correlation between people’s favorite Fromsoft games, and the order that they were played in. Specifically, whether or a not someone’s entrance to the series usually ends up being their favorite.My ranking is as follows;1.Sekiro 2. DS3 3. Elden Ring 4. Dark soulsDidn’t play 5. Bloodborne (plz make a pc port </3) 6. DS2 7. Demon soulsMy play order; sekiro -> DS1 -> DS3-> Elden Ring

I believe I at least started a play through on all of them in order.

Did not even remotely understand Demons souls, and it kept going back on the shelf.

Same with DS1, DS2, Bloodborn, and DS3, maybe finishing a tutorial boss and exploring a bit, but always getting confused and frustrated.

Then I read a post talking about calling in a summon who "Ran in like a naked Jedi with just a Katana" and said to myself, maybe I am playing these games wrong.

So I looked up some youtube videos, learned about the mechanics, and started DS3 to become a naked Jedi.

I had the absolute best fucking time. It took a while, but grinding levels and learning to dance around with light roll and fast agressive attacks was a blast.

To answer your question, it's hard to say what was my first Souls game. The first I played, the first where I started to git gud, or the first one I finished, which I believe was actually going back to Demons Souls.

As far as which ones I prefer, DS1 > Eldenring > Bloodborn > DS3 > Demon Souls > Sekiro > DS2.

This doesn't mean I hate on Sekiro, in fact I also completely love DS2 for all its janky, but out of all of them, Sekiro is the least of an RPG, and there is just something about it that never clicked with me.

I'm sure it is a combination of skill issue and just not understanding the mechanics, as well as not know what the various items are about.

Maybe I'll go back to it after the Eldenring DLC.
