I’ve played through most of the soulslikes I put my mind to but I still haven’t played/finished DS1/2.

I started a playthrough of DS1 and got to Quelaag but didn’t actually fight her because I was cursed and wanted to cleanse it first - couldn’t find my way back, unfortunately, and didn’t want to look up guides lol. And now the save is gone, so I’ll have to start over - ie. I probably won’t play anytime soon :D

Haven’t played DS2 yet because I wanted to play them in chronological order.

What about you?

    It was personally that I just felt the movement and attacks were a bit more fluid than DS1. Bosses were just easier to me than stuff like O&S that I suffered with in the first dark souls. Still I love all entries and I don’t want to punish ds1 for being less refined in some ways than later entries 🫶🏼

      Sounds logical and reasonable, thank you. I don’t mind the combat rythm of Ds1, that said I played the remaster soooo… Take that into account. I find it charming, in a weird way ? I know for example a lot of people would like a bloodborne remaster, or a 60 fps update, but, to me it’s good how it is, maybe is nostalgia as well.
