SuperButterBuns lmao yes I am 😂. I agreed with pretty much everything you said. Demons souls ripped me a new one because that was my first. After hearing your points on Ds1, I think I'd agree. I have to replay Demon's sometime. Ds1 is my favorite lore-wise but I'd have to say Ds3 has the best gameplay and is the most polished. DS2 was trash imo. All quantity instead of quality.

@@gtothee5723 the drake sword is complete shit you noob. The gravelord sword can carry you through the entire game and is the easiest and best starting weapon for any class.

That's the part that got me too. I started with Bloodborne and the DLC before going back through the series. Dark Souls was a cake walk. Nothing compares to Orphan except that last Sekiro boss.

@@xbenci If you don't want to wait until ng+ to do the dlc, start it before finishing your first playthrough. It isn't accessible until about the halfway point. Doing it this way will also let you start a fresh playthrough with the new stuff. Bloodborne was my first souls game and I loved it!

I also played Bloodborne first, which meant I never used a shield when I played the other games

played bloodborne first aswell. DS games feel a bit weird to me, especially DS2, but I still enjoy them, even though I wish I could just dodge and attack the way I want

Joe-Francis Kiaga Don’t remind me... *twitch twitch*

Eeeeh... Item drops are always RNG in every single souls/borne game, and the point of the chalice dungeons were to be randomly generated anyway. Otherwise, the core game of Bloodborne is no more or less RNG than the other titles.

*looks back fondly as one of the 1% who loves Chalice Dungeons*

Chalice dungeon items were a fucking cake walk. I assume you never farmed the dark souls 3 covenant items, or the pure bladestone in demons souls :p

Gonna assume you mean chalice dungeon materials / common gems. There are gems in Bloodborne that have taken 1000's of boss kills to find once.

Patrick Weber amen

Not when the first one you play is Dark Souls 2

James Gillam dark souls 2 is still the hardest for me, I played it first and couldn’t beat it, tried 1 and found it way easier, then jumped to 3 which was harder than 1 but still fair, and FINALLY beat 2 but it’s still the toughest for me to beat haha!

Not necessarily, the first one I played was Bloodborne, and I actually did really well at that one. Then tried DS1, and I still haven't gotten past the Taurus Demon on purpose lol

I both agree and disagree. Personally i began with 3 and found it hard but it got easier quite quickly. However after playing the remaster I consider the original to be the hardest

@Jason Lee There is absolutely no way to complete npc quests without a guide, one thing i hated about ds3 is how absolutely convoluted the quests are, for example siegward spawning in a random fucking well in a place where you only go there once, written guides are the go to because they don't have as much spoiler.

@@SakakiSyndrome Hated about dark souls 3? The questlines were fucked in every souls game.

amen. Platinum Chasers and Fightin Cowboy are my true saviors.

Brendan Wake idk I found bloodborne a lot harder than ds2. In ds2 you can get a ring that stops the health loss at %25 and by the end of the game I had around 90 human effigies

DS2 was difficult not because of its levels or fight design. It was difficult because the developers, which were not the same team as DS1, 3 or bloodbourne, thought the definition of difficulty was just throwing a large amount of mobs at you. You also could only turn in 8 different corrections, unlike a full 360 degree turn, making movement near impossible on narrow passages and the hit boxes on both you and the enemies/bosses were completely random. Also, damage done from falling was inconsistent and it depended more on which area of the game you were in, not the actual distance fallen. Ultimately, it was the flaws in the development of the game that made it more difficult, not the game itself.

Dark Souls 2 was hard because of poor design choices. I feel like DS3 is hardest due to more complex boss movesets and it being faster paced. But I can definitely understand how DS2 feels much harder sometimes. It feels harder for me but I believe that DS3 is objectively the harder game even though it was easier for me to beat.

@@tylerworrell4446 Dark Souls 3 is just spam roll lol. Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 2 play alot more realistically. Specially Dark Souls 2 slow paced combat and stamina management.

What ruined ds2 for me was the enemies, most of them run as fast(or faster) than you and hit like tanks, also they have some very generic designs, which makes fighting against them a bit boring and repetitive, also they are positioned in a way that you can't see them

Or you can enjoy the video :)

SuperButterBuns hey buns hey hey buns.......

Didn't expect to see this guy here

I still don't understand the apparent difficulty of midir. 3 times I've faced him I beat him second try each time. First death I'm usually extremely close.

@@Bourikii2992 a lot of people dont know that you gotta fight him straight up and hit his head. So many people look at midir and immediately start slashing his ankles, therefore they can't see a single attack thats coming

Con Cahill he’s essentially the hardest boss in the entire franchise, from soft said something similar and that it was optional because most people wouldn’t even be able to beat

@@Bourikii2992 its the health. I make mistakes in my timings sometimes and so does everyone tf else apart from you apparently and as such a longer fight means more time to fuck up. My fights last a while

@@Bourikii2992 Darkeater Midir can be incredibly unpredictable with the fire attacks having more range than most people are used to. I know that with my first few tries, I tried dodging in certain directions that wound up being incredibly inconsistent and usually got me (and my stupid sorcerer build) killed. That said, after being summoned in to help, I paid attention to one of the other players and discovered how Midir's attacks hang to the right a bit, which was the direction I kept dodging, and the direction I kept getting smacked by. Now, I can beat Midir with relatively little trouble.

You can skip pirate cove

@@abdur4754 I'm not sure beating the pursuer is easier than pirate cove for beginners. On my first playthrough though I thought the pursuer was the only way forward.

@@taylorcorbridge1492 you can always use the ballista. still requires some skill, but it makes the the fight possible for a new player.

Bruh. Hit detection in DS2 is the real bossfight

Taylor Corbridge tip for the pursuer always try and be behind him and if there facing towards you then dodge towards the shield it took me about twenty tries but it was worth it in the end also try getting a mace it deals better damage than swords against he’s style of armour and most of the armour styles in the game like I got lucky and on my second play through (which I only got to because I gave up on my first one after three bosses) I used the petrified something in the nest thing at the start because reasons and got by far my favourite weapon in the game so far the demons great hammer which destroys every armour wearing guy yet

Very odd Squirrel kek

Well,yeah(i have xbox but i *NEED* Bloodborne)

Very odd Squirrel i am saving up for a ps4 (and eventually a ps3 to play demon) and I still consider it a souls game But I will most likely prefer other games as I am a very slow player (as in I prefer slow combat)

Armadyl Featherbreeze they arent the same story. If it was an age of water in bloodborne there would be emphasis on water. Kind of like how dark souls did with fire. It takes place in the player characters dreams. Even if the player character lives in the dark souls universe it would be a different story

Obadiah T does it really take place in the players dream? I mean, the hunters dream yeah, but the rest of the game? And in ds3, don't you join a covenant with emphasis on wolf blood? Or was that the abyss watchers? Maybe both? And they were searching for a cure to the curse of the soul by using blood. I think that's a reasonably strong tie. If I gotta find specifics I will, but I'm pretty sure that was a thing in ds3.

It is if you went into the catacombs early. I did. I had heard the game was really hard so I thought the catacombs was the first area. I didn't even find the stairs from the firelink bonfire until like four hours in when I reached the blocked gate near Nito. Walking out of the catacombs was _fun_

James Stark I always feel so sorry for those who first wander to catacombs instead of Undead Burg in Dark Souls 1. I never made that mistake but if i had I might not have finished the game ever.

@@James.Stark.Ben.Edition i feel your pain after making a new character i figured running to the catacombs to get to nito and get the gravelord sword as soon as i got to firelink would be pretty smart.

it was designed to be hard but there are some people who think it's alright and people who think it's easy. i personally think it's not hard and think it's pretty basic and easy but that doesn't mean i didn't die at all😊

@WB CASH yow me too but i've played sekiro too and because you move faster, strike faster and have stealth (also parkour) it's sooooo easy easier than even bloodborne and darksouls (for me that is)

literally learn how to play the game its extremely easy when you know you can run past everything and know exactly where everything is and stuff to upgrade items and where the items you need are like damn if you wanna get good watch some dark souls speed runs and every death you have gotten is because of your actions if people can beat the whole game killing every boss with an unupgraded broken straight sword literally doing not even 5 damage per hit dont fucking tell me boo whoo its hard because you don't know how to play like if someones playing cod and theyre doing bad because they dont know the map layout or what guns to use it doesnt make the game hard it just makes them stupid and bad at the game especially compared to other people like damn we challenge ourselves I beat the game at SL8 with nothing better than a +5 weapon just so i can be an asshole and invade people who havent killed gargoyles

@@Ronnie-Bagpipe you mean extremely easy once you've first sank 50+ hours into learning the layout of each level, the location of each enemy, and gotten upgraded weapons? LMAO I hope this was a joke my dude. Unless your SL8 run was the literal first time you ever played you're talking out your ass.

@@jonstein4606 its the first thing i did on remastered and part of the fun in games is learning everything about them especially dark souls but you can find videos that are walk though guides to uprgrade weapons to +10 before gargoyles easily and just because its not holding your hand doesnt mean its hard especially when you can run past basically everything thats not a boss EASILY its only hard if your committed to playing blind, if you look up a guide and find a shitty weapon that does a ton of damage at the beginning and think thats good enough your stupid and bad and you should watch the people who are experienced to learn how to really play and not just spam attacks and heals and hope you dont die

Idk, only died to him like once on my first run. Why is everyone saying he's hard? What am i missing? Like, the only bosses that can realistically kill me are O&S and Bed of Bullshit

In my first playthrough, I beat O&S on my third try, but I fought manus for what might've literally been 5 hours. Probably died to him 50+ times.

@@TheZakR Yeah, it took me more than 3x for O/S, but Manus is on another level. This is solo, no summons (I let my PS4 membership lapse, lol). Manus is a beast. I've actually stepped away from him for a while and gone back to DS3--I've been soloing all bosses in the Bloodsouls games for the last 3 months, and so far Manus is up there with Darkeater Midir, at least for me.

Beat O & S on my first try... took about 30 tries for Manus

I dissagre, Eleum Loyce was a really fun area, and the boss fight was one of the best ones. Fought, as i didnt know that you can get 4 knights to fight with you i wasted around 5 hours of my life trying to kill the ivory king, the search for the knights to rally one last time to defeat their king to free him of chaos, and fighting together with npcs that arent summons, the size of the fight and everything else. One of the better boss fights in the gamr

I'm at drangleic castle, just kill the 2 dragonraiders. I really think once you know what you're doing the game doesn't seem to be so hard. Yes it is challenging and don't get me wrong, I have died more than 500 times, but it is manageable. If can beat it I think I'm gonna try dark souls 3 next.

Scholar of the first sin is the hardest to me because they threw in a lot of ganks. In terms of getting through the game, it wins. In terms of bosses, probably DS Remastered so far but the Estus mechanic in ds2 sucks ass

@@xula10 well, all sos games are hard no matter what

Narednik Đubo just finished the game. Just summon a phantom once, in the mirror shield boss, the one who summons to. As I said the game is manageable cause it's fair enough if you invest in your character. Very glad I gave this a 2nd chance cause I felt my self getting better boss by boss. Gonna get 3 for sure.

^True. Dark Souls 1 is the eaiest (and the worst) imo.

Marek Tužák remastered was such a trash move but it still sells cause ds1 is so good

You beat me to it! Yup, Sekiro. No summons, no over leveling, no top tier equipment upgrades, just pretty much all skill. Most of the real upgrades you get require you to beat the bosses, which are way harder than any of the previous souls games. (the very first mini boss will cause the same kind of headaches most end game bosses from Souls games do) The fact that you get warp around the game world at will doesn't do jack for you when you just keep dying at every mini boss or boss!

The main reason it's hard is because it's different and pretty soon the hardest Soulsborne is all of them because then you won't be used to those ones

Sekiro is way way harder than any dark souls game, but DS has multiplayer, which makes it more cancer when you think about giantdads or parry lords.

It may be harder but I feel like it lacks a lot of the fun of soulsborne games cause theres barely any character freedom. I like that I can make my own builds and get completely different experiences each playthrough. When you change up your build, it even changes how well you do with bosses. First time I played bloodborne I had a skill strength character and beat the hell out of most bosses pretty easily but my new arcane skill character makes smaller bosses easier but the bigger bosses get much harder. I like sekiro and I still think it's better than most other games but i dont think itll ever have the replayability of literally every soulsborne game

@@decrabtra I understand where you're coming from, but the Soulsborne games are special and one of those special things is the character customization so if you don't like that game doesn't have character customization, you're basically saying you don't like it because it isn't dark souls/ Bloodbourne.

How the heck does it protecc? It actively kills anyone who inhabits the world, npc's included.

Emilijus Kravciukas SAME

Xanadu i have a tendency to explore an area like i'm counting grains of sand on a beach.

William Biddinger yeah early game does not a lot of good stuff.

Yeah ds2 is my hardest game as well as Blood Borne

I'd have to disagree, depends on how gud you are with the sorcerer as I have beat the game 3 times with the knight yet have tried my hardest and nearly beat the game with the sorcerer and gave up

TBH, the easiest route i have gone in DS2 was str build. seriously. you just need to be naked, use the club until you can use the great club and GG. you 1 shot everything, and chunk bosses like never before. or the craftsman hammer. Ill admit the dark orb mage is pretty broken. And the dedicated lightning build made me understand why they nerfed the spells... they literally destroy ANY enemy.

I've beaten all the soulborne games. All but the 2nd ds, I played for an hour then returned to the store for another game, still gets me sometimes

I think this is a bad think because in Bloodborne Shortcuts always felt so unimporant but in ds1 were you realy had to walk all the way back shortcuts were alway an reward.

@@dracosfire7247 Ok the first one is until this day for me useless. In Yharnahm there is no danger whatsover and thanks to the Gascoine cheese there is even less danger. I dont farm so these were useless. But the one in Vorbidden Forest was so helpfull. Yes I agree on that one.

Filipe Vasconcelos I did it on acid. That’s why I fell in love with the series. The story captured me then the shear difficulty impressed the hell out of me

Went back and played ds1 on acid like in April. Did better than expected but I was freaked out when the dogs in lower undead parish flew onto the screen from the perifery of my center screen tunnel vision

I played Dark Souls 2 at like 6 am on January 1st after everyone had passed out after NYE mashed off my face. I just ran from Majula to Heide's Tower of Flame like 30 times getting squished by the giant knight dudes and honestly? it was a really calming and mellow experience

I played Sekiro for the first time on Shrooms and when the flying enemy comes towards you on that roof i threw my controller🤣

I played ds3 drunk once and I had the brilliant idea to fight the ancient wyvern head on. Needless to say, it was a nightmare.

Syfyky Trial and Error. Iy would take multiple playthroughs to realize such a thing, but there comes a point where you find something new each time you start a new game. I cannot speak for myself, but I believe that there are the tenacious ones in this community who have discovered it on their own, as they have the curiosity and time to do so.

Finding Arch Dragon peak was way harder to find compared to Ash Lake.

Is it bad that I accidentally got that ending my first time through? I just asked myself what would Yoel want me to do and wound up married to some lady I met on the road of sacrifices.

the only thing i had to look up in the internet was the very end wheather or not to link the fire, it was such a good ending though

The only part that's really at all difficult is getting all the hollowing levels in time. How hollowing actually works is weird and you probably won't figure it out, but if you just talk to the guy every once in a while and die a reasonable amount you'll probably get the levels you need. After that you just need to not find Horace in the lake and tell Anri where he is while she's in that place, easy enough to do accidentally by missing the lake entirely or putting it off until you reach Irithyll and follow the instructions of the creepy lady and not do the Betrayal ending which is pretty easy.

Agreed, I can't fathom what the devs were thinking with this one.

Firelurker is the hardest boss

Thank fucking God that it wasn't a big section of the game and you could rush through it.

plus the fact that people afraid of spiders fainted half way through

Yeah and the winter lanterns they are like the definition of frenzy the effect makes you lose 90% of your health plus you get the effect just by staying close to them and this is fucked up also their grab attack will not only give you frenzy but suck your health out I hate these things they are literally the worst and should have been nerfed

Jay Hubz dark souls 3 had some tough bosses for ng++ but ds1? it was extremely unbalanced I honestly dont see how anyone had any trouble in ds1

I find Bloodborne to be the most punishing one since pretty much every boss and even some regular enemies can instakill you.

Ivan Enfinger I agree with your statement. The game humbles you from beginning to end. The crowd that says just “git gudd” probably never even finished the game. Scrubs.

Git gud is just a dickhead way to tell someone the only real way to not die half the time is to play the game

@@lowgizzle im late but i still say git gud, tho honestly i didnt git gud for a very long time, it was super rewarding beating the first dark souls after nearly 500 hours across all the games, and my first playthrough was of dark souls 2, and i died 150 times to beat the game, shrine of amana prepatched was a nightmare!

Dark Souls 1 banks on you not knowing anything. Once you learn that esoteric knowledge you can fuck over just about everything.

How is bloodborne hard just because you need a different play style

Randy Randalman im a dark souls noob playin ds3 and based off the short description you gave+what little i know, bloodborne will be the easiest for me cuz fuck sheilds fuck armor fuck ranged attacks fuck vigor (i have only 1 upgrade in it) go stamina and carry load all the way, fuck a good starting class (deprived all the way) and give me that maximum roll distance+a big fuckin sword and i am absolutely ripping the early game a new one (the catacombs made me frown a lot tho) has to be said i got to the abyss watchers on my first playthrough wasting every upgrade material i had not knowing/understanding (i still dont really) the crafting system and died waaaaay to much but now have yet to die to a boss. Iv seen people play bloodborne and i am simply drooling for that little dash thing they do, ill be invincible once i get it im absolutely sure :)... Or as close as it gets.

Randy Randalman i believe bloodborne and dark souls 3 are equal in difficulty, to me dark souls 1 wasnt really that hard, now with rhe dlcs having the best hardest fights in the series and the worst hardest fight in the series (a good hard fight being gael and friede and a bad hard fight beong midir cause fuck midir)

100% agreed

i did half&half for bloodborne, but took it upon myself to at least beat logarius with my own hands the first time. i died like 20 times to win, but just when i won i said "fuck, this is a lot easier than i thought". you just need to use your brain WHILE fighting to win, it isn't like other rpg where it's brain first and action later, or just straight up action like (most)fps or straight up only brains like most strategy games, you have to do a bit of both, and as long as you don't lose your cool, pretty much almost everything in the soulsborne media is going to be easy. i say almost, because then there are bosses like darkfuckeater midir which one shots you if you're not embered and you can do nothing about it unless you use pestilent mercury which you can indeed lose in your first playthrough, even easier is to miss it. but even he has ways to beat him and not let him trigger the one shots, it's just REEEEEAAAALLY time consuming, way more than almost every boss in any fromsoft game. oh btw, the fight is on my channel, nothing special if you don't consider that before that i died 20 times and only once i almost had it.

Summons are a mechanic. Don't feel ashamed for using a game mechanic. That's like being ashamed of using the storm ruler on yhorm.

Jeremy Nugent Yeah, but summons literally do the job FOR you. I mean, if you suck THAT bad, why play the game to begin with? Sure if its your 2nd playtrough and you wanna have some fun with your friends, gang all you want, but your first playthrough should always be alone if you want to get the real feel you BOUGHT THE GAME FOR. Like Why THE FUCK WOULD YOU BUY DS OR BB IF YOU DIDNT WANT CHALLENGE??? Just watch a playthrough if its too admire it lol.

You know, Midir really isn't that difficult of a boss. He gives you a free opportunity for at LEAST 2 hits on his head (Ultra Greatsword user) after most attacks, and his moves are pretty easy to read. I honestly don't see why so many people think it is so insanely difficult and unfair. They must be attacking the limbs and tail, or not reacting to extremely obvious attack tells...

Doing half and half as well for BB. But, somehow, the hardest battles were for me alone (Such a luck!), or: even better: The summon dies before the boss reaches second phase, so now I have to face an enraged boss (succeeded) For DS3, fought with summons first playthrough, lost my savegames before Ringed City and had to start all over again; no summons this time. DS1 was my first game and I learned that you can summon at the end of the game...

Chris Holdsworth so true! :D

yeah. Ludwig can go jump off a cliff though. What I hate most is that he was *almost* a spectacular boss, but the combination of just a couple design decisions that would have been fine individually make him one of the worst bosses in the game. Probably *the* worst outside of the chalice dungeons.

Android 19 oha , I liked him. But so far I only fought him one.

Android 19 what decisions?

Beethoven the most egregious is combining a Bloodborne-sized health pool, which expects near-constant aggression, with a Dark-Souls-style moveset, which expects you to be backing off, waiting for certain attacks, and then getting a couple hits in before backing off again. This makes the boss take forever. The combination of his quick back-kick and main swipe which you can't dodge if you're too close are the main contributors to this. This wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for his charge, which has an incredibly tight dodge window and one-shots you if you miss it, and his stomping flail which it's basically just chance whether you're going to be able to roll out from under it and if you can't then you die, because the hurtbox lasts longer than your i-frames. So you have a really long fight that can go from perfect to ended in an instant from a very minor mistake. Add onto that a second form which overall is much better designed but does a lot of damage with weird timings and attacks with similar wind-ups that would be great except you don't really have the opportunity to learn it because you only face it after clearing the crap-shoot of form 1. All together you have a bunch of things that aren't bad ideas on their own but work together to make a boss that just isn't at all fun to fight. I've also found he's much harder to fight with strength weapons than dex weapons, which isn't great in a boss as essential as he is. I didn't really mind him my first time through when I was using the Burial Blade and Blade of Mercy (he was hard but not nearly as unpleasant) but then on my second playthrough I realized just how many problems he had.

Ozan Özdinc The Souls series isn't the Souls series without crippling frame drops

juan manuel Brac Please don't kill you? You're in the wrong comment section! **backstab**

+juan manuel Brac Cause it's easy, and it does a lot of damage.

Arsames 1337 Becase DkS 1 runs so well on my laptop (like 20 frames tops) I should ditch the perfectly Smooth 60 frame SotFS and DkS 3 I have on ps4 because it pleases milord.

Arsames 1337 Jokes on you! I hates DkS 3 so I don't even care what frame rate it runs on! Besides I need my laptop for college so I can use my "low IQ" to write comprehensive papers on social science and study for exams.

Solaire for the win!, Seriously, just having someone to keep one of them busy makes it SOOOOO much easier.

Andrew 123 new games plus demons souls literally is the most punishing jump in difficulty

jdr ok demon souls is the only souls game I haven't played so I can't argue about that im talking about my expirience from ds1 ds2 ds3 and bloodborne but I believe you

Andrew 123 you should play demons it's fun but epic name bro has a demons souls 100 percent play through that had him go through 4 or 5 times because he made 2 of 1 boss item but that new game plus ramp was murdering him when he is a lot better at these games then I am and I can beat all but dark souls 3 just burnt out on the series so dark souls 3 doesn't get my love dark souls 1 I just roll into damage because it's not bloodbourne and I use lock on to remember attack timing when I haven't played it in 2 years and demons idk I quit that when I got a ps4

Andrew 123 I hated bloodborne in my first playthrough, loved it ever since. Always hated ds3 though

Exactly. I thought ds3 would be easy when I went from ds1, but it was the same shit. Trial and error while learning enemy patterns. I disagree with the “hardest souls game is the first”, because in each game the enemies are different and you have to learn them. The only thing I brought with me from ds1 was understanding this, and learning to die over and over while learning the patterns.

Nekko Miller The Biggest dragon in ds2 is easy if u stay in between his toes and if he does fly up follow the right shadow of his tail

Brent Ramsten yeh max lv seriosly way easy to just stay between his toes

he is alo a piece of shit boss with horrible design

You mean the elemental defence tutorial? No need to bend down to that unfairness if you stack fire resist and negate 99% of his damage.

To be fair, a lot of bosses in Dark Souls 2 base game suffer from bad boss design.

Ye i agree, as much as i despise Dark souls 2, bonfire ascetics were a great idea. Allthough getting the final ring of blades is a bitch because i do not know if that would make my final boss NG+.

Bonfire ascétics... yeah i remember farming fire keep endlessly i wanted all my weapons maxed

Forgot I wrote this, and was about to comment the same exact thing.

haha fosho same.
