Starting a new playthrough of dark souls 3

About a year and a half ago I played Elden ring with no dark souls gaming knowledge and got my ass handed to me and made it through the base game by the skin of my teeth and thanks to lots of summons and spirit ashes. I was immediately in awe of the mechanics, level design, world building and boss/enemy AI that from software created and I wanted more. So I worked backwards and played dark souls 3 still not quite sure of all the intricacies and hidden gameplay mechanics and again, stumbled my way through till the end.
It wasn’t until beating both bloodborne and the original dark souls that I felt like I finally started to get how to play and enjoy these games rather than suffer through to say I did it.
long story short, I’m in the middle of a new playthrough of ds3 and it’s crazy to have like tangible proof that I’ve gotten better and “get” these games. Beating the first boss in 1 try (first playthrough took me maybe 25), starting as a deprived so that I had to be more resourceful. Idk it’s fun to see how far I’ve come as a player! areas that scared the shit out of me that I wouldn’t take the time to explore I’m now getting to see and im finding soooo many new things. i love you dark souls 😭

nicky999doors Elden ring is the most difficult out of all of them for new players I think just because of how massive the game is!! my first playthrough I spent 120 hours and I hadn’t even discovered 2 giant areas of the map yet but had already “beat” the game. It just has sooooo much content but it is so fun!! Dark souls 3 is a lot more linear making it slightly easier to understand what’s going on and not miss as much. I play Elden ring on ps4 if you ever wanna play! I also am on this discord server where you can find ppl to help you w areas/bosses :)

Demon souls (or any soulsborne game for that matter)

While they’re frustrating as hell, it’s hard to find something these days that takes my full, undivided attention. these games are unforgiving at the beginning but slowly getting better and developing a muscle memory has shown me it’s never to late to learn a new skill. I love losing myself in this game, if only for just an hour, and knowing I didn’t even look at my phone

elden ring

lately i haven’t been playing video games nearly as much as i used to, but i’m getting back into the groove with elden ring for the upcoming DLC that’s dropping.
hidetaka miyazaki, the director of this game, is an uncompromising and inimitable force in the world of game design, and his collaboration with GRRM for the lore underpinning this particular game is an interesting twist.
elden ring is, to me, the perfection of the lineage of games that miyazaki and FromSoftware have developed (mainly dark souls): from the visual language to the thematic direction to the brutally minimalist combat system to the haunting level and world design… if you’re near the target audience, this game won’t be easily forgotten.
