@and1salttape: actually I played Dark Souls (original) last
it has the best enviroment, DS3 lacks the challenge, and also I didnt enjoy the more streamlined/mainstream combat mechanics (a big change that I dont even NEED to mention) it has nothing to do with Nostalgia (even the pro reviewers, and OTHER game developers with an open mind/no bias) will pick Dark Souls
I will pick Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2 - before I would 3 - DS3 is still a great game (better then most others non-Souls) but Bloodborne, Dark Souls, and Dark Souls 2 are far better imo - then again nobody is right or wrong, but dont sit here and act like "oh its only nostalgia' how can it be nostalgia for me when I played Dark Souls in 2016 ? lol I played it LAST (and you'd think I'd like it the least) but i find the immersion, atmosphere, melancholy, and world/enviroment (its LESS disjointed DS3 and DS2 = enviroments are disjointed, an ugly mess (most consider DS2 to be complete trash and a joke) I dont hate DS2, but its nothing compared to DS1/original. Demons souls is by far the most challenging, and Dark Souls is by far the most immersive. If you call DS original flawed, then what the hell is DS3...DS3 LACKs the Souls charm (and many w would agree, and nostalgia does not play a factor in that opinion). Just opinion. I will never put DS3 above BB, DS2, or DS. Infact I put DS3 at the very bottom (still a good game, all 5 soulsborne games are good, better then average) but DS3 seems shorter, smaller, almost like From Software was like "zzzz...wanna get through this development quick as possible..." lol
