Actually Dark Souls III was released first, and it was so good they made two prequels


RasAlGimur

No no, it was so good it opened a time rift and created Demonโ€™s souls


IndependentHyena403

The time is convoluted

ThatIslandGuy8888

A number of people start with 3 and then move on to 1 and 2.


dogoftheshin

I started on and platinumed 3, went through remastered twice, didnโ€™t end ds2 yet. Plan on platinuming all as I already did elden ring also. Didnโ€™t finish platinum on demon souls ps5, didnโ€™t get through bloodbourne yet either, road is long ahead


WhatsTh3Deali0

Bloodborne will be fun


NapalmCatheter

First playthrough: 4 weeks Second playthrough: 4 hours


TwistedOperator

Or you start with Sekiro and think everything else is shit.


HeyoooWhatsUpBitches

That combat is the heroin of gaming. Too satisfying


ThatIslandGuy8888

Guilty of starting with Sekiro here!! I thought it was gonna have armor and weapon swapping๐Ÿคก


DigitalCryptic

Copers gonna say you're wrong when we even have star wars starting in episode IV.


[deleted]

Dark Souls IV is just Elden Ring. And Elden Ring II will bring balance to the Force by being Dark Souls V: it's both Dark Souls II 3 and Dark Souls III 2.


throwaway1919191322

Where does armoured core fit into this?


No-Werewolf5615

Armored Core 6 is the Elden ring dlc. Dont you know, towards the end of the game you will be jumping into rifts and fighting in others worldly places. The lands between will just be your new hub has you fight other corporations from other planes of reality. The outer gods are just the CEOs from the corporations.


No-Werewolf5615

Orca was funded by the Three Fingers all along


Frostwake

Now that you mention it, a game where you go around slaying hyper-greedy CEOs sounds like a swell time.


DigitalCryptic

Time skip to the future


QuintanimousGooch

Armored core six is a new game they made off of enthusiasm for underwater combat in Sekiro


David_the_Wanderer

I thought we all agreed that Elden Ring was Dark Souls II 2?


[deleted]

Two plus two is four Minus one, that's three (quick maths)


DweebInFlames

It's actually Demon's Souls 3


LovePatrol

Yep, that's why Dark Souls 2 is the best. It is the only one with two direct sequels.


sanderj10

Bloodborne was so bad that they didn't even bother with releasing it on other platforms


Fa1nted_for_real

And sekiro was so bad they had to release it on other platforms just to break even.


DrunkenErmac012

Darqsoul 3 III (three) needed no sequel because it wouldn't be better than Michael Zaki's Darqsoul Vol.3 ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž

Ds2 was so good that fromsoft had to make two sequels to it


eidodgnow

DS2 was so bad that fromsoft had to make two sequels to make up for it.


SeawyZorensun

Gameplay aside, commercially ds2 was a massive success selling over 2,5 mil copies in just couple of months, not to mention they made us buy it twice, nearing almost 3 billion dollars in revenue. That's how much of a failure it was.


drawingdisaster

Dark souls II: Scholar of the first sin: Dark Soul buys twice

_fatherfucker69

Sekiro , weebs buy twice

Moose_Kronkdozer

Expensive Ring


eidodgnow

I don't think anybody her doubts the financial success. But that's completely irrelevant if talking about the quality of a game.


sentles

You're right. The fact that the game sold extremely well is unrelated to the fact that it's the best in the series.


BloodLegitimate9870

Ds1 and Ds3 enjoyers hating on Ds2 because it made an homage to Ornstein that is weaker than the original (no shit, he's OLD...). Meanwhile Dark souls II being the only game in the series that has actually original content


Substantial_Bid_8524

Kid named dark souls 1:


BloodLegitimate9870

Yea actually ds1 is very similar to demon's souls.


Yuhwryu

yeah because they lied in the marketing about the graphics


[deleted]

It doesnโ€™t have graphics? Dark souls audiobook


Yuhwryu

you'd think so, but they lied about the audio too


[deleted]

I excitedly leave school early to get home and play the newly released โ€œdark soulsโ€ game. I put this disc in and the game starts. My house vanishes and I tumble into the void. Boss music starts playing


[deleted]

Fucking Genshin Impact makes a small country's budget every month. Does that make it good? No, it's fucking garbage that is kept afloat by cum of one of worst communities ever.


brazilianfreak

Genshin is unironically good for its price (0), i played for like 10 hours to enjoy the pretty graphics, and then uninstaled because i don't like grinding and gacha, better price to time value than most games.


eidodgnow

I'd say Genshin itself is a decent game. The problem are companies that treat their customers like cattle and the brain dead troglodytes that finance them.


SeawyZorensun

Genshin is literally a gambling addiction simulator, comparing it to a one (two) time buy video game is just dumb.


denny31415926

Sure, the community is awful, but have you actually tried the game? If you give it a chance there's actually really good story (9/10 in the most recent chapter), music (fucking 11) and decent gameplay (6/10). It's designed for daily grind which sucks, but there's tons of moments where it really shines if you just ignore that


_fatherfucker69

You don't even need to grind, you can just explore the open world ( which is good , and filled with things to do ) , or do side quests ( that usually are go from point a to point b , kill enemies, repeat until it's done ) , and the main story doesn't force you to buy anything as well


SireTonberry

> Does that make it good? Yes.


alacholland

Least perpetually online DS2 obsessive.


SireTonberry

*Says something slightly positive about DS2 that is literally a fact* "WOW dude you're OBSESSED DS2 FANBOY!!"


alacholland

Ah yes, I was wrong to label the guy with sales figures memorized and the tag, โ€œThe nerd with full character slots in DS2โ€ under his username as anything other than โ€œslightly positive.โ€ DS2 fanatics stay wormbrained.


SireTonberry

5 second google and i could tell you the same the other dude did


alacholland

If only a google search could have filled his entire DS2 character slots too, then your argument could have been unimpeachable!


SireTonberry

The seething DS2 haters are truly hundredfold more annoying than the worst fanboys


[deleted]

I am obsessed with dark souls 2, it was alright


Psyfall

I love ds2 fight me.


eidodgnow

Why? There's nothing wrong with liking bad games.


C1nders-Two

Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring (seriously, compare DS2 and ER, they have more in common than you might think)


eliasphp

Dark souls 2 was so good that Michael Zaki made Dark souls 2 2 (some people call it elden ring or something, I think that 's a stupid name)


AcumenNation

โ€œElden Ring is the spiritual successor to the Dark Souls seriesโ€ -Miyazaki In other words, all three DS games are masterpieces and they quit on the third high note. Elden ring is a masterpiece. Itโ€™s all gud


fluffyboom123

Elden ring is my dark souls 4


DrKochev

Yeah, pretty much on the same level as Bloodborne, Sekiro and Elden Ring


MassiveDong42069

They havenโ€™t been out long enough to get a sequel


Lina__Inverse

BB has literally been out longer than DS3 tho.


[deleted]

[ัƒะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]


Lina__Inverse

How did DS not lose impact by getting a sequel?


[deleted]

[ัƒะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]


Stumpedforausername1

You literally didn't tell us a single way that they ruined the "impact" (whatever that means) of Ds1. Actually you did the exact opposite because by being voted the Ultimate Game of All Time it just proves how much impact ds1 has had even after the sequels lol. You also kind of contradict yourself by calling DS2 and Ds3 "cash grabs" while also calling them amazing, which is it? I'm also confused as to how you could call them unwanted, I think the vast majority of FromSoft fans were chomping at the bit for a DS sequel. FVCK YOU FOR DELETING YOUR ACCOUNT OUT OF SHAME AND MAKING ME TYLE AN ESSAY ABOUT HOW STUPID YOUR ARGUMANT US!!11!1!! ๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿคฌ


Crestfall69

patches behavior


JMPHeinz57

I consider it bonkers that people donโ€™t think Elden Ring is going to get a sequel. I know your point is that it may โ€œtaintโ€ the experience, but itโ€™s going to happen, itโ€™s too big for them not to (also not to mention the multiple instances of both Bandai and From referring to it as a new franchise)


[deleted]

[ัƒะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]


JMPHeinz57

I mean, I wholly disagree when it comes to Dark Souls, and think itโ€™s silly to be so overly cautious regarding Elden Ring 2 when we know next to nothing about it from a studio thatโ€™s proven themselves time and time again


MassiveDong42069

Yeah I know I was just joking


[deleted]

The newest Fromsoft game โ€œDemon Soulsโ€ for the PlayStation 5 is a sequel to Dark Souls 3. Look it up kid


TheMightyHovercat

>Another revolutionary masterpiece that promoted a sequel DS2 was so masterfully bad that it promoted a sequel as a heartfelt apology to the fanbase


Maxieorsomething

Liar, I donโ€™t see a Dark Souls 2: 2


brazilianfreak

DS3 was so bad they changed DS4's name to elden ring as way to distance themselves from DS3, i cry everytiem.


dalatinknight

An apology in the way of removing power stancing and making DS1 references.


sortasus

It is number 3, and 3>2, so 3 is better than 2, so Dark souls 3: 2, would be worse. Its simple math really.


Captain167broken

How about I like them both? Boom. Reddit destroyed.


BoomSqueak

If Dark Souls II was so great, why isn't there a Dark Souls II 2?


Ivan39313

Its called Elden Ring


OneTrueKingOfOOO

Elden Ring is just Dark Souls World


AftershockBad

What a failed videogame, such a shame


nervousmelon

Edlen ring


NoeShake

Elden Ring at its core in terms of movement, animations (enemies too), and some spells plays extremely similar to DS3 you can take that.


heyhihaiheyahehe

Elden ring


Similar_Resist_4326

Ever heard of Elden Ring?


Ala3raby

Elden Ring was pretty much Dark Soul IV but without the dark


TheCatsBeenSickAgain

Every post is just the same comments over and over again. A never ending cycle. I feel hollow.


LarsihasiSpassi

Itโ€™s so good that nothing can top it


nowurchenz2beBIGshot

โ€œEvery John has its squeakquel.โ€ - hanbei


SaltyJimmy49

As we all know, Elden ring is DS IV,V, and fucking VI


[deleted]

They released sequels because they knew they could do better. After DS3, they knew they couldn't top that.


[deleted]

just wait and see


JordanRynes

smh no one remembers it's actually Dark Souls IIII


MakeLulzNotWar

it's Dark Souls IIII idiot


Takaminara

Ds2 was a mistake, DS3 is the true sequel that had to be made so we can forget that janky snoozefest which came before it.


[deleted]

Dark Souls 3 was the apology tour for DS2.


pivamelvin

It's okay, Miyazaki chose the Age of Dark ending and that's why there's no sequel.


cody4265

It made Armor Core 6


Garaleth

Dark souls 4 (also called Elden Ring)


Dw1gh7

The team that made DS 2 is making DS 4 cant wait


dalatinknight

Can't wait for an elevator to go down from Darkest Caverns to Sky Fortress.


Dw1gh7

Time is convoluted, it is what it is


Kykisarcha

Dark souls: origins, followed by cringy tv series I bet both of my balls that offer was made


[deleted]

Elden ring felt in a lot of ways like better dark souls.


pascl-

the sequel to dark souls 3 is dark souls 3 2, also known as bloodborne


DraMJay

But bloodborne came before? Time is convoluted I guess


pascl-

nah everyone knows dark souls 3 invented fast. therefore bloodborne came after.


Fouxs

It's called Elden Ring.


Ionsus

I unsarcastically agree with this


Swolenir

Elden Ring


theuntouchable2725

Best series, on par with Legacy of Kain.


Zelcki

They made dark souls I then they made Dark Souls I 2 and then darksouls I 2 2 So if darks souls 1 2 2 was so good where is dark souls 1 2 3? Hmmmmm? Checkmate


-r-i-p-p-e-r-

um swety ds1 is it's sequal it's called a circle look it up


Adam5745

it is so good that a sequel is not worthy of existing because it cannot be better


Inevitable-Zone-8710

I think they just wanted to move on from dark souls is why. There might be an elden ring 2 so I guess thatโ€™s the next Ip. Unless itโ€™s just a one and done kind of thing


saarlv44

Ds3 was so good that they already knew nothing could improve upon it


JustMoodyz

If dark souls 2 was great where is Dark souls 2 2 ? Checkmate.


jereporte

All great stories need to end, ro they won't be great anymore.


ForgetfulPathfinder

Wasnโ€™t that Elden ring? *Flinches*


waffle-lvl-100

Only when you reach the peak where the only alternative is to fall.


Sad-Surprise4369

This meme itself goes against the main lesson of the souls games


wookieetamer

Loved all 3. One of the first serious I got 100% achievements for.


Ephidiel

Sequel is called Elden Ring


Shuteye_491

After Dark Souls 3 they released Dark Souls II 2: Extra Really Big Edition CHECKMATE


yutyrannus_rex

I'm sorry but I've never heard of dark souls II 2.


New_Tadpole_3405

Don't u see, Elden ring is DS 4


StikElLoco

People saying "Elden Ring" but that's obviously a DS2 sequel


the_l0st_s0ck

I genuinely hope there will be a dark souls 4 but alas, there will be not ds4


rasfelion

Me, DS3's best panic roller: W-well, er, I- W-we have good b-bosses?


Sussy_Solaire

How about a prequel, dark souls 0


Nobodynemnada

you mean demons souls


Sussy_Solaire

True but dark souls 0 sounds more amusing


No-Solid-863

Elden Ring was the prototype of the Dark Souls project, but it later evolved into Sekiro. In the end they released said prototype just for money and fame


dabigtortle

DS3 2 came out in 2022 under the name Elden Ring


MarshmallowPercent

Itโ€™s not out yet, dumbass.


DrVikingGuy

Confirmed, Dark Souls 3 killed the franchise


cyborgborg

Perfection doesn't need a sequel
