Dark Souls 3 had no major flaws.. We 've heard that. All other games up to that were INNOVATIVE and introduced something TRULY new (even if some of these innovations were not to everyone's liking), while DS3 did none of that. DS3 has the most and more serious flaws: -Uninspired Lore. Everything just a fan service looking back to DS1. -The worst level design. Everything is linear and boring. -The worst atmosphere. Almost every area has the same colour palette with these dark blue filters, and it's full of reused Bloodborne assets (why so many tombstones with no real purpose). -Uninspired gameplay. R1 spam fest everywhere. It can be FUN, especially if this is your first game, because it's faster and feels more fluid, but it is uninspired. - Boring weapons and spells. Everyone agrees that if DS2 did something right was Dueling and the original weapons and spells and NG+. Everything was dumbed down once again. From weapons, to spells, to infusion system, to buffing etc. -Terrible balance. -Boring NG+. Why not keep something like that? The only things that DS3 actually did good was Bosses. The more extended moveset of the weapons was nice, but not in expense of the more interesting weapons, power stance, counter damage modifiers, several weak and strong points on the weapons and generally all the good innovations that DS2 made and had no reason to let go. DS2 did a lot of questionable things. But it introduced also a lot of mechanics and system that were universally embraced as GOOD. I cannot accept that DS3 took a huge step back and simplified the game way too much by disregarding almost everything good. When we were waiting for DS3 to come out with Miyazaki as the lead, we were excited because we truly wanted to see what he can do with all these concepts, and to re introduce them in a more polished manner. But it did none of that. All we got was a faster DS1 with some impressive bosses, but worse at everything else.
The artorias dlc take was weak, the fact that it’s the same place u knew but back in time is why it’s my favorite dlc. Darkroot in modern times is very hard to maneuver and very dark, so it was very pleasing to see the place flooded with life and clarity
I absolutely agree with how the dlcs elevate the base game. DS3 didn't NEED ringed city to be a great game, well at least to most people. It could've honestly just gotten ashes for just friede and it would've been a great game but the fact that it introduced the best dragon boss and the best single fight in the soulsborne series is insanej
DS2 haters get so hyper-focused on the issues like we don't also dislike those aspects. Meanwhile DS1 gets a pass on literary everything because it has an iNtErCoNnEcTeD wOrLd. Dont get me wrong I love that about DS1. What are the best DS1 bosses? Artorias, O & S, Manus, Khalameet, and maybe even Sanctuary Guardian. While DS2 has Sir Alonne, Ivory King, Sinh, Darklurker, Fume Knight, and maybe even the Pursuer. Same goes with levels. For as many bad bosses/levels as DS2 has it has even more GOOD bosses/levels than DS1.
I disagree that Dark Souls 3 doesn't have any major flaws. It does my favorite thing about the Souls games the worse, and that is exploration. Dark Souls 3 is too linear. It doesn't have those intricate shortcuts or paths that wrap back around to a previous area. Its mostly just a straight shot from beginning to end game, which I kind of hate. I love it when it's possible to get lost in the world of these games and find myself asking "where the hell am I?" I like the sense of adventure and journey, and Dark Souls 3 really doesn’t do this for me. Even Dark Souls 2 does a better job at this. It's less linear, and it has sheer size going for it. There's way more possible instances where the player can be left wondering where the hell they are.
I agree, but I don't think any souls game fromsoft makes will ever truly return to the way you could get lost in ds1 since being able to warp from the start of the game became the norm in ds2. I mean look at ds3, I love it but having the first area you go to after the tutorial only be reachable by warping is kind of ridiculous. The first half of ds1 is really untouchable as far as that goes, unless from switches things up with their next game, but I can imagine they wouldn't want to alienate all the new fans who started with elden ring by taking such a big feature away. demons souls total lack of bonfires between the start and finish of an area gets somewhat close to it, I could really see them returning to that before removing warping for a portion of the game completely
@@Mbrace818 if you're in a dungeon maybe, but the game literally has a map that you can fast travel from. you can definitely get lost trying to find a site of grace but thats the same with finding bonfires in all the games. There has never been a souls game where you could get back to safety as easily as Elden Ring since you don't even need to make your way back to a bonfire, just pull up the map and dip. its like unlimited homeward bones but you have a map to look at so you can get right back to the place you were before without too much trouble.
@whodatismeishe When I say "getting lost" I don't necessarily mean literally getting lost and struggling to get back to some previous more familiar area. I simply mean the sense of stumbling across some obscure area that deviates from some main path and finding myself wondering where the hell I am. Elden Ring is so vast, dense and expansive that it does the best job at this. The underground areas in particular invoke this feeling quite well. Yes, I can just Warp out of there, but the place still left me wondering "wtf is this place? Why is it here? Where does it lead to?"
@@Mbrace818 ah i see, I misunderstood your original comment then, yeah Elden Ring does do a good job at that, there are so many different routes you can take and places to find
Awesome video! Nice list i agree with most of it the only thing i would change is the place of dark souls 1 dlc with the dark souls 2 dlc crown of the old iron king but i agree with your placement as well since the dark souls 2 old iron king dlc is also amazing
While I personally think Old Hunters was the best DLC, I'd say DS3 has the best "DLC content" as a whole. The two dlc's combined are noticeably bigger than the old hunters and have more memorable bosses.
I mean ashes costed 15 usd for one level wtf is that.. I’m pretty sure old hunters was only 20 so it’s pretty stupid to compare two dlcs for 30 vs one for 20
I simply do not agree Love ds3 and its dlcs to death but with the exception of painted world of ariandel i feel like pretty much every area in the ds3 dlcs is shorter than the areas in bloodborne’s dlc, dreg heap and ringed city both ended wayyyyy before i thought they should’ve. Even ds2 dlcs were longer in my experience lol. Can’t comment on the bosses tho that’s like picking between my children.
@samfartson881 so then why does it not bother you that fishing hamlet is quite a small area with a very linear corridor progression, and the hunters nightmare is a reskin?
@@mikhailkalinin6536 fishing hamlet has enough branching paths for me that it never feels extremely linear to me. Saying that hunters nightmare is a reskin is kinda crazy to me, it makes more than enough changes that calling it a reskin is p inaccurate imo.
Dude the rehashing take is bad imo, I guess the magic didn’t work on u but for most people seeing old places in this new completely different light is shockingly good, I’ve had the new area screen a million times in souls, I don’t need something completely new for a dlc, if that were all that mattered then there’d be no difference between a dlc and a main game area
Ashes is by far the worst of the DLCs, with its only redeeming factor being Sister Friede. The runbacks in DS2 Gauntlet areas being "bad" is because those specific optional areas were designed for coop play first and foremost, hence the high enemy density. My favorites are: 7. Ashes 6. Artorias 5. Ivory 4. Iron 2~. Sunken and Ringed 1. Old
the ds3 dlcs were supposed to be one dlc to begin with, but namco bandai said no to that and forced from to split development between the two, i judge them as 1 dlc anyway, and that way it is a much better dlc than old hunters, as much as i love it. better bosses, better areas, better enemies, better more vertical level design etc etc.
This is not a good list. I get not liking DS2, it's a personal preference although i don't agree. But putting the RInged City at number 1? The DLC has two swamps and the city is just a glorified corridor with enemy spam. The only highlight of the DLC are the 3 great boss fights (demons, Midir and Gael), but even that is brought down by Halflight.
Dude right?? The ringed city die NOT feel like a city, shit was just like the rest of ds3, dissapointing, ans derivative of earlier games without the same special spice that made it work. I like Gael, personally dislike midir, and love demons. The area surrounding them is so subpar tho
@@fejesbalint2749damn and I was about to agree but if u wanna talk boring areas ariendel is the least interesting place to traverse I’ve ever been, it just felt like an extra boring ariamis with a better boss
Agreed with most of your takes but I think the arguments made for the first pick aren’t strong. I think the boss quality between Bloodborne and DS3 is comparable (think of weaker bosses like Curse-Rotted Greatwood, Crystal Sage, Wolnir, Yhorm), and I actually think Bloodborne has far more consistent level design quality. But regardless, I disagree with the approach of considering how each DLC “elevates” the base game, since I find it more relevant comparing the DLCs by the actual content they contain. It just kinda felt like you were finding an excuse to elevate it over Old Hunters by not making an argument about the content of the DLCs themselves. Regardless, good video tho, cant argue too much since Ringed City is comparable with Old Hunters, as you mention yourself
DS3 has more top tier bosses in it's base game than BB does . Lets not count the DLCS just the base game . DS3 just has an overall higher boss quality , BB excels more in other areas overall than DS3 but bosses DS3 just wins hands down despite having a few stinkers , every game has some lame bosses . There are 3 bosses for that would be A tier in BB for me - Father Gascoigne , Martyr Logarius and Gehrman . 2 B tier bosses - Ebrietas and Vicar Amelia . Everything else would be C tier or lower , that is BB's biggest weakness in it's base game the bosses . DS3 on the other hand - A tier -Abyss Watchers , Pontiff Sulyvahn , Dancer of the Boreal Valley , Champion Gundyr , Twin Princes , Nameless King , Soul of Cinder , 2 B tier bosses - Aldritch and Dragonslayer Armor , the others are C tier of worse . BB overall as a game is the better and more original experience but the bosses DS3 takes it hands down . The Old Hunters has 3 fantastic bosses , 1 good one and 1 bad one , it makes BB so much better as a game because you get 3 fantastic fights . Ringed City also has 3 fantastic bosses with 1 bad one so it evens it out . Its hard for me to imagine with or without the DLC that BB has better quality bosses as a whole than DS3 as a whole , it just flat out doesn't . This is why DS3 is more fun to replay because of the sheer amount of high quality bosses compared to BB .
For me DS1 is the best , intrestingly its my 4th souls game and 3rd dlc. The Boss quality is insane especially compared to 2nd part of the game. The way khalameet has to be shot down is really memorable for me. Artorias speaks for its self and manus is really great too. Darkroot basin is one of my fav areas, so im happy with the reskin. The oolicle town just have an atmosphere which i love.
The fact that you put an entire DLC over both Eleum Loyce and Shulva (both DLCs having so muvh personality and interesting stuff about them) just because of the final boss is kind of insane. Yes, Frida is an amazing boss. Yes, you don't like DS2, but also-, putting the bosses SO over everything else is such a weird thing imo. Same with the Ringed City. Gael is my favorite boss of the franchise, Midir is my favorite dragon fight, the Demon Prince is great too, I like the lore and the Ringed Knights are cool both in design and as enemies But is it really deserving of the first place??? There are 2 swamps in the DLC, both full of annoying enemies which only purpose is to avoid you from exploring the zone (mainly referring to the angels, but the Ringed City archers are just as annoying kill you extremely fast). The Dreg Heap is literally just a corridor that if you want to explore you have to teleport back to the bonfire for every path you take, and the Ringed City is not that much bettee either, while also being full of ganks. It is definitely NOT the best DLC, but people just forget about all the problems of the DLC just because of the boss fights
I really do agree with the majority of ur list. The only thing I’d change is the third dlc of ds2. Due to the lore of the dlc and old ivory king id rank it two maybe three spots higher. I think it’s better than first dlc of ds2 and 3. But other than that I agree with the list
I didn't even finish The Ringed City too far after the demons fight. It's just annoying, tedious, gimmicky area after annoying, tedious, gimmicky area after annoying, tedious, gimmicky area. I hear Slave Knight Gael is one of the best bosses, but I also hear the middle two bosses are some of the worst so you can't really convince me to give it another chance.
My DLC ranking would go like this : 7 - Crown of the Sunken King 6 - Crown of the Ivory King 5 - Ashes of Ariandel 4 - Crown of the Old Iron King 3 - Artorias of the Abyss 2 - The Ringed City 1 - The Old Hunters
Phew! Brave fella, but I appreciate voicing your opinion. You'll definitely get a lot of chatter with them. Thanks for the video, but i must also politely tell you that The Old Hunters is the greatest DLC ever attached to the greatest game ever.
Funny how you put the Hunter's Nightmare as a downside to Old Hunters, since I actually consider it a highlight. For me, seeing this alternate version of Cathedral Ward was incredibly cool and interesting, both from a story and visual perspective. The same also applies to Artorias of the Abyss, though to a much lesser extent there. I really love seeing and comparing the contrast between the two areas and pondering why and how they are different in those ways, not to mention just the nostalgia aspect of seeing a new side of something you're familiar with. I guess most people dislike "reused" things by default, but I never found them to be a problem. Maybe it's just me, but even the many repeated enemies in Elden Ring or Lords of the Fallen were never a negative, and some reuses like these areas in the dlc, Loretta and even Crucible Knights and Pursuers are just a straight positive.
The ringed city areas are very mid tbh , the old hunters have 3 amazing areas with more memorable moments , better enemies , better lore and bosses are debatable ( I prefer the ringed city ) , I think it's not even a debate old hunters is way better
Back then I played it right after I finished the platinum so the character was in Ng+3 and underlevelled as hell with bad charms. To this day probably the second hardest thing I ever did in gaming .. Ludwig kicked my ass for several days :D
I’m pretty sure you didn’t mean it that way, but I feel like there’s no way you actually mean that Sir Allone’s run back is the worst in the series when Reindeer Fuckland exists
4:02 dude idk. I know it’s a totally different genre but Fallout 3 and New Vegas has $10 dlc expansions and those were fire. Well… most were. I think if a consumer is expected to pay extra for content, said content should be “good” despite the price. If you’re making me pay for more game, it needs to be as good or better than the base game IMO.
Sorry, I do not fully understand your comment. Perhaps you didn't know it existed? If that's the case, you can return to that location later in the DLC, and two of them will be in the boss arena. I don't exactly remember when they spawn, but they do, and they're hard. They're very, very hard.
For me, who didn't play Bloodborne Worst to best DS2 Poison dlc DS2 snow DS3 Frieda (I don't like this dlc, Fried is the only good thing) DS2 Iron king DLC Ds1 Artorias Ds3 Ringed city (I judge how much they add to the game, how much its core experience of the game)
now I haven't played ds2 dlc cause everytime I do play ds2 I get frustrated and want to throw the disc out and set it on fire due to how annoying it is and I haven't played ds1 dlc since I'm dreading the last half but the other 3 I have beaten so although it's more of a top 3 it will change whenever I decide to not become a vampire and thrust a stake into my heart imbedded in garlic 3. ashes of ariandel. decent design with only great thing being sister friede(favorite boss in souls) and the other boss while I don't think is great, I also don't think it's bad 2. lost city. oh boy am I gonna get hate for this one. personally, I hate the area of the city, I'd probably like it more if there weren't dozens of arrows coming my way and angels shooting holy arrows (yes i do know you can kill the angels but its more worth just running). then the area is just bland like an unseasoned steak, but bosses are killer. you got twin princes (my favorite lost city boss), midir, and gael, hot take gael overrated and if halflight didn't have that summon he wouldn't be nearly as hated on as he is (still a meh fight with boring dialogue in the beginning). 1. old hunters. just recently beat this and my god is it wonderful. ludwig easily took me over 100 attempts with me being level 50 with a +7 whirligig and going up the tower, while annoying, was disturbing which is why we all love bloodborne. Orphan and maria were also amazing being some of the top bosses in souls (and probably gaming) with maria not taking me as long as orphan (again probably over 100 while also playing with my uncle). then Laurence which was pretty fun, ik a lot of people hate the tantrum attack but for me I just looped in a J formation and it worked fine and not locking on during 1st phase also helped. while this was a basic b list idc because at the end of the day I had fun and loved taking down these bosses and exploring areas and I hope elden ring shadow of the erdtree will take my number one
Cool list and I love Ringed city but it has allot of annoying things, ghosts spamming arrows, angels spamming spells, 2 swamps, a complete unnecessary dragonslayer armour reskin, the skeleton part after Midir and Halflight is beyond bad even Living Failures is miles better. I also cant remenber a single important weapon while Old Hunters has some of the best weapons in the entire game. Also every area in the Old hunters represents extremelly important parts of Bloodborne lore, first area we find Ludwig and Laurence, Second all about Maria story 3rd about Mother kos Maria and Gherman Ds3 is pretty much just Gael. Music - Bloodborne Dlc Weapons - Bloodborne Dlc Lore - Bloodborne Dlc Bosses - Maybe a tie but Blodborne has 1 more boss Areas - Bloodborne Dlc Atmosphere - Bloodborne Dlc I believe though Elden Ring will become their very best. Super high hopes.
Hard to rank any of the DLCs. I love all of them. Obviously it's tempting to just say Old Hunters is the best, but honestly, I'm not in love with the Hunter's Nightmare as an area. I love fighting the old hunters, but the area is meh. Research Hall is a giant pain in the ass, even if I like the aesthetic. Fishing Hamlet is pretty great, but seriously fck those Sharks, most annoying normal enemy in all the games. More and more, I really dig the Dreg Heap, and I mostly like the Ringed City, even if the swamp area brings it down. I also happen to love Ashes of Ariandel. It's probably a tie between Bloodborne and DS3's dlcs. DS1 and DS2's dlcs are all amazing. Maybe Ivory King is at the bottom of the list, but I still look forward to playing it, except Frigid Outskirts. Please give us a Sekiro dlc or sequel.
@@TheRealJohnux the fume knight and burnt ivory king runsbacks are both less than 30 seconds but you wouldn’t know that since you’re lying about having actually played the game
@@jonmann4980 bold Statement. Factually wrong, I played Ds2, both the Original and scholar Version and the DLCs for both. I meant the runbacks for the copypaste Co op areas respectively. The runbacks on All Final Bosses of the DLCs are super generous. If YOU actually played the game you would have known that the runback to Sinh the Dragon in the first DLC is practically less than 10 seconds. Also, if you want proof for me playing the game and DLCs, when the DLCs Released the Chest in Majula gave out a blue longsword, a white blacksteel katana and a dark looking Murakumo in that order. Unless I mixed up longsword and murakumo. If that's not enough, The Kirins in the frigid outskirts drop dragonbones and have a chance to drop the bonefist weapon, Heides tower of Flame had practically no heide knights in the original, there was no troll in the river in giants forest, the forlorn didn't exist at all, one of the only changes in shrine of amana Was an added dragon rider guarding the door to Vendricks Soul.
@@TheRealJohnux I didn’t need to think about Sinh because I beat her on my first try. And why would I not think you’re lying when you make bald face lies while participating in the trend of shitting on ds2.
Saying anything dark souls 2 is better than anything from Dark Souls 1 is blasphemy Saying anything Dark Souls 2 is better than ashes of ariandel when it has Sister Friede in it is Sacrilegious There is absolutely nothing redeeming about Dark Souls 2 or its DLC's that game Deserves to be erased from history and Forgotten
Showing Lords of the Fallen as a bad example is kinda unfair. Yes the starting class did cost extra, but apart from the necessity to deliver over 30 patches to make it a good game, the delivered the Randomizer mod, new classes, new quests and items and most recently a boss rush mode at absolutely no cost. So everyone how went away from the game, because it was so annoying, go back, you’ll have a totally now experience, then one everybody hoped for
"This DLC [Artorias of the Abyss] gives me a reason to not debate quitting when I have gained the ability to warp." Personally, the DLC gives me a reason to play the DLC. In my two most recent DS1 playthroughs, I did the DLC immediately after receiving the Lordvessel, and then stopped. Most of the rest of DS1's second half sucks, and after beating Manus and Kalameet you have already beaten the game's hardest bosses and should have your build mostly complete, so there's really not a whole lot left to do but beat the game.
Honestly Ashes of ariandel is the weakest for me, the only amazing thing about it is Sister friede bossfight, everything else is kinda meh, and the DLC is pretty short with no "Legacy dungeon" to speak off. I'm not saying it's bad but compared to every other DLC it's the weakest. DS2 DLC's for me had the best levels out of all of them, they just had so much emphasis on great and interconnective design, weird and creative puzzles, amazing secrets and items, great overall atmosphere and scenery etc... yes the co-op areas are atrocious but you can ignore those entirely. Ivory king DLC shouldn't be dead last mainly for one thing and it's the bone fist weapon.
Agreed for the most part with just one real thing: The Ringed City being better than The Old Hunters is far from an unpopular opinion. Of course the Bloodborne fans will always try to place Bloodborne first regardless of what you’re rating them on, but most people in general actually do prefer The Ringed City.
never cook again bruh tf, How is ashes of ariandel better then mferin shulva or ivory? and ringed city was trash except for the bosses it had, old hunters should be #1
DS2 slander going crazy, the game is pretty mid but tbh the level design in Shulva and Eleum Loyce completely clear any level in DS3. Ringed City and Painted world have good bosses, but it’s a stretch to even call those levels good.
Shadow of the Erdtree will have the best boss fights in any of these dlc. I would go even farther to say in the entire series. Remember this comment and come back post Shadow of the Erdtree to tell me how right I was about this lol.
I agree, but many will complain about how the bosses have too many delayed attacks, too many combos and barely any openings and then compare them to DS3 bosses 😂😂.
I’m curious if there will be a boss that is better than sword Saint Isshin because right now the only bosses that come close imo are Lady Maria, Gael and Godfrey. I truly hope and believe you will be right
This was a good watch, but i absolutely disagree with old hunters being so high. Bloodborne is my favourite FromSoft game, but the DLC is just bad. Maria is the one good boss, fishing hamlet is the one good level, the rest is just an annoyingly long weapons and armour pack. Research Hall looks great, but i can't forgive how the "blind" enemies are able to lock on to you and attack with such accuracy. And the Living Failures, wowwww 😂 they should've been an optional boss in a chalice dungeon, not a mandatory dlc boss. Hopefully Shadow will be good and will improve the obvious flaws in Elden Ring that people dont like to talk about. Definitely waiting a month or so before i buy it tho 😂
Pretty mid list Ariandel gets 2 places due to 5 minutes of OK content ( the boss) while being worse in every metric. It's the worst dlc by far and ariandel and trc were supposed to be one dlc. Artorias of the abyss is basically the same as all dark souls 2 dlcs with higher price and 2 comparatively worse bosses (I'd put it above ivory because that dlc sucks balls on replays)
Thinking DS2 is somehow a worse game than DS3 is NPC-type thinking. DS3 has the most linear game design, the most spammy combat, the most derivative Souls experience, accomplishing little in the way of memorable moments, in a vain attempt to recapture the magic that was DS1. On top of this, it has the most linear DLC, and the most underwhelming DLC in the series. The most significant contribution DS3 gave to the series was charged power attacks, coming at the cost of dual wielding though. DS3 also signified the death of proper PvP, which became a spam-fest of rolling and ghosting, somehow even more janked than DS1 only with even less comprehensible poise. Where as DS2 PvP was precise and felt SOLID, it also had the most fleshed out PvP/PvE covenant system in any Souls game to date. I can pick up and play a round of DS2 to this day, huge build diversity right from the beginning, with great options for deathless, or SL1 runs, wheras DS3 is impossible to play for more than a few hours before realizing I might as well play any other generic linear action game because it feels the same.
nah ds3 is the best game ever made bro, ive played through all of ds2 wanted to slit my throat with the runbacks and the humanity and the fogwalls with 0 i-frames

Dark Souls 3 had no major flaws.. We 've heard that. All other games up to that were INNOVATIVE and introduced something TRULY new (even if some of these innovations were not to everyone's liking), while DS3 did none of that. DS3 has the most and more serious flaws:
-Uninspired Lore. Everything just a fan service looking back to DS1.
-The worst level design. Everything is linear and boring.
-The worst atmosphere. Almost every area has the same colour palette with these dark blue filters, and it's full of reused Bloodborne assets (why so many tombstones with no real purpose).
-Uninspired gameplay. R1 spam fest everywhere. It can be FUN, especially if this is your first game, because it's faster and feels more fluid, but it is uninspired.
- Boring weapons and spells. Everyone agrees that if DS2 did something right was Dueling and the original weapons and spells and NG+. Everything was dumbed down once again. From weapons, to spells, to infusion system, to buffing etc.
-Terrible balance.
-Boring NG+. Why not keep something like that?
The only things that DS3 actually did good was Bosses. The more extended moveset of the weapons was nice, but not in expense of the more interesting weapons, power stance, counter damage modifiers, several weak and strong points on the weapons and generally all the good innovations that DS2 made and had no reason to let go.
DS2 did a lot of questionable things. But it introduced also a lot of mechanics and system that were universally embraced as GOOD. I cannot accept that DS3 took a huge step back and simplified the game way too much by disregarding almost everything good. When we were waiting for DS3 to come out with Miyazaki as the lead, we were excited because we truly wanted to see what he can do with all these concepts, and to re introduce them in a more polished manner. But it did none of that. All we got was a faster DS1 with some impressive bosses, but worse at everything else.
And the bosses are all dodge roll simulators
Yeah DS3 is totally the weakest of the trilogy
Lmao we got all the ds2 dickriders here
Souls content creators attacking DS2 is what they consider the easy way to embrace the community. It's easy mode for content creators.
The artorias dlc take was weak, the fact that it’s the same place u knew but back in time is why it’s my favorite dlc. Darkroot in modern times is very hard to maneuver and very dark, so it was very pleasing to see the place flooded with life and clarity
I absolutely agree with how the dlcs elevate the base game. DS3 didn't NEED ringed city to be a great game, well at least to most people. It could've honestly just gotten ashes for just friede and it would've been a great game but the fact that it introduced the best dragon boss and the best single fight in the soulsborne series is insanej

Meanwhile DS1 gets a pass on literary everything because it has an iNtErCoNnEcTeD wOrLd. Dont get me wrong I love that about DS1.
What are the best DS1 bosses? Artorias, O & S, Manus, Khalameet, and maybe even Sanctuary Guardian.
While DS2 has Sir Alonne, Ivory King, Sinh, Darklurker, Fume Knight, and maybe even the Pursuer.
Same goes with levels. For as many bad bosses/levels as DS2 has it has even more GOOD bosses/levels than DS1.
painted world of ariamis not being the worst is mad
I disagree that Dark Souls 3 doesn't have any major flaws. It does my favorite thing about the Souls games the worse, and that is exploration. Dark Souls 3 is too linear. It doesn't have those intricate shortcuts or paths that wrap back around to a previous area. Its mostly just a straight shot from beginning to end game, which I kind of hate.
I love it when it's possible to get lost in the world of these games and find myself asking "where the hell am I?" I like the sense of adventure and journey, and Dark Souls 3 really doesn’t do this for me. Even Dark Souls 2 does a better job at this. It's less linear, and it has sheer size going for it. There's way more possible instances where the player can be left wondering where the hell they are.
I agree, but I don't think any souls game fromsoft makes will ever truly return to the way you could get lost in ds1 since being able to warp from the start of the game became the norm in ds2. I mean look at ds3, I love it but having the first area you go to after the tutorial only be reachable by warping is kind of ridiculous. The first half of ds1 is really untouchable as far as that goes, unless from switches things up with their next game, but I can imagine they wouldn't want to alienate all the new fans who started with elden ring by taking such a big feature away. demons souls total lack of bonfires between the start and finish of an area gets somewhat close to it, I could really see them returning to that before removing warping for a portion of the game completely
@@whodatismeishe Umm, Elden Ring? It does the best job by far in providing a world to get lost in.
@@Mbrace818 if you're in a dungeon maybe, but the game literally has a map that you can fast travel from. you can definitely get lost trying to find a site of grace but thats the same with finding bonfires in all the games. There has never been a souls game where you could get back to safety as easily as Elden Ring since you don't even need to make your way back to a bonfire, just pull up the map and dip. its like unlimited homeward bones but you have a map to look at so you can get right back to the place you were before without too much trouble.
@whodatismeishe When I say "getting lost" I don't necessarily mean literally getting lost and struggling to get back to some previous more familiar area. I simply mean the sense of stumbling across some obscure area that deviates from some main path and finding myself wondering where the hell I am.
Elden Ring is so vast, dense and expansive that it does the best job at this. The underground areas in particular invoke this feeling quite well. Yes, I can just Warp out of there, but the place still left me wondering "wtf is this place? Why is it here? Where does it lead to?"
@@Mbrace818 ah i see, I misunderstood your original comment then, yeah Elden Ring does do a good job at that, there are so many different routes you can take and places to find
Awesome video! Nice list i agree with most of it the only thing i would change is the place of dark souls 1 dlc with the dark souls 2 dlc crown of the old iron king but i agree with your placement as well since the dark souls 2 old iron king dlc is also amazing
While I personally think Old Hunters was the best DLC, I'd say DS3 has the best "DLC content" as a whole. The two dlc's combined are noticeably bigger than the old hunters and have more memorable bosses.
I mean ashes costed 15 usd for one level wtf is that.. I’m pretty sure old hunters was only 20 so it’s pretty stupid to compare two dlcs for 30 vs one for 20
@@Jbswe Thought I said DLC content as a whole, not dlc value per dollar.
I simply do not agree
Love ds3 and its dlcs to death but with the exception of painted world of ariandel i feel like pretty much every area in the ds3 dlcs is shorter than the areas in bloodborne’s dlc, dreg heap and ringed city both ended wayyyyy before i thought they should’ve. Even ds2 dlcs were longer in my experience lol.
Can’t comment on the bosses tho that’s like picking between my children.
@samfartson881 so then why does it not bother you that fishing hamlet is quite a small area with a very linear corridor progression, and the hunters nightmare is a reskin?
@@mikhailkalinin6536 fishing hamlet has enough branching paths for me that it never feels extremely linear to me. Saying that hunters nightmare is a reskin is kinda crazy to me, it makes more than enough changes that calling it a reskin is p inaccurate imo.
Dude the rehashing take is bad imo, I guess the magic didn’t work on u but for most people seeing old places in this new completely different light is shockingly good, I’ve had the new area screen a million times in souls, I don’t need something completely new for a dlc, if that were all that mattered then there’d be no difference between a dlc and a main game area
Did you beat lawrence in bloodborne? You didnt mention him.
Ashes is by far the worst of the DLCs, with its only redeeming factor being Sister Friede.
The runbacks in DS2 Gauntlet areas being "bad" is because those specific optional areas were designed for coop play first and foremost, hence the high enemy density.
My favorites are:
7. Ashes
6. Artorias
5. Ivory
4. Iron
2~. Sunken and Ringed
1. Old
the ds3 dlcs were supposed to be one dlc to begin with, but namco bandai said no to that and forced from to split development between the two, i judge them as 1 dlc anyway, and that way it is a much better dlc than old hunters, as much as i love it. better bosses, better areas, better enemies, better more vertical level design etc etc.
First of all great video , second of all why don't you make Hollow knight content , I saw your pfp is the knight so thought you would like that game
Thank you for noticing and I really want to make a HK video sometime. If Silksong comes out this year, I will definitely be all over that game.
how did you manage to survive that friede grab attack? lol
I was shocked when it happened during the fight lol
This is not a good list. I get not liking DS2, it's a personal preference although i don't agree. But putting the RInged City at number 1? The DLC has two swamps and the city is just a glorified corridor with enemy spam. The only highlight of the DLC are the 3 great boss fights (demons, Midir and Gael), but even that is brought down by Halflight.
Dude right?? The ringed city die NOT feel like a city, shit was just like the rest of ds3, dissapointing, ans derivative of earlier games without the same special spice that made it work. I like Gael, personally dislike midir, and love demons. The area surrounding them is so subpar tho
zones are trash but what makes the game is its bosses and it has the best bosses. Although I do think The Old Hunters is better
Agreed , I dont even like the demon boss. Swamp sucks
The city is fine nothing special. Hot take I like ashes of ariandel more :o
@@fejesbalint2749damn and I was about to agree but if u wanna talk boring areas ariendel is the least interesting place to traverse I’ve ever been, it just felt like an extra boring ariamis with a better boss
@@justinchancellorlegod8057I mean the old hunters has better areas, connectivity and bosses (3 out of 5 at least)
I nvr realized ludwig is just the OG elden ring stone cats!
crown of the sunken king made me anxiety even if i see it on a video for example
I checked time codes and immediately found DS2 DLC in the lowest placement.
*Insert buzz lightyear clones meme saying that DS2 bad*
Agreed with most of your takes but I think the arguments made for the first pick aren’t strong. I think the boss quality between Bloodborne and DS3 is comparable (think of weaker bosses like Curse-Rotted Greatwood, Crystal Sage, Wolnir, Yhorm), and I actually think Bloodborne has far more consistent level design quality. But regardless, I disagree with the approach of considering how each DLC “elevates” the base game, since I find it more relevant comparing the DLCs by the actual content they contain. It just kinda felt like you were finding an excuse to elevate it over Old Hunters by not making an argument about the content of the DLCs themselves. Regardless, good video tho, cant argue too much since Ringed City is comparable with Old Hunters, as you mention yourself
DS3 has more top tier bosses in it's base game than BB does .
Lets not count the DLCS just the base game .
DS3 just has an overall higher boss quality , BB excels more in other areas overall than DS3 but bosses DS3 just wins hands down despite having a few stinkers , every game has some lame bosses .
There are 3 bosses for that would be A tier in BB for me - Father Gascoigne , Martyr Logarius and Gehrman . 2 B tier bosses - Ebrietas and Vicar Amelia . Everything else would be C tier or lower , that is BB's biggest weakness in it's base game the bosses .
DS3 on the other hand - A tier -Abyss Watchers , Pontiff Sulyvahn , Dancer of the Boreal Valley , Champion Gundyr , Twin Princes , Nameless King , Soul of Cinder , 2 B tier bosses - Aldritch and Dragonslayer Armor , the others are C tier of worse .
BB overall as a game is the better and more original experience but the bosses DS3 takes it hands down .
The Old Hunters has 3 fantastic bosses , 1 good one and 1 bad one , it makes BB so much better as a game because you get 3 fantastic fights .
Ringed City also has 3 fantastic bosses with 1 bad one so it evens it out .
Its hard for me to imagine with or without the DLC that BB has better quality bosses as a whole than DS3 as a whole , it just flat out doesn't .
This is why DS3 is more fun to replay because of the sheer amount of high quality bosses compared to BB .
For me DS1 is the best , intrestingly its my 4th souls game and 3rd dlc. The Boss quality is insane especially compared to 2nd part of the game. The way khalameet has to be shot down is really memorable for me. Artorias speaks for its self and manus is really great too. Darkroot basin is one of my fav areas, so im happy with the reskin. The oolicle town just have an atmosphere which i love.
You gonna have to remake this in a few weeks lol
The fact that you put an entire DLC over both Eleum Loyce and Shulva (both DLCs having so muvh personality and interesting stuff about them) just because of the final boss is kind of insane.
Yes, Frida is an amazing boss. Yes, you don't like DS2, but also-, putting the bosses SO over everything else is such a weird thing imo.
Same with the Ringed City. Gael is my favorite boss of the franchise, Midir is my favorite dragon fight, the Demon Prince is great too, I like the lore and the Ringed Knights are cool both in design and as enemies
But is it really deserving of the first place??? There are 2 swamps in the DLC, both full of annoying enemies which only purpose is to avoid you from exploring the zone (mainly referring to the angels, but the Ringed City archers are just as annoying kill you extremely fast). The Dreg Heap is literally just a corridor that if you want to explore you have to teleport back to the bonfire for every path you take, and the Ringed City is not that much bettee either, while also being full of ganks. It is definitely NOT the best DLC, but people just forget about all the problems of the DLC just because of the boss fights
7. Ashes
6. Sunken
5. Abyss
4. Ivory
3. Ringed City
2. Old Hunter
1. Iron King
The first DS3 Dlc is the worst Soulsborne Dlc.
It's barely a Dlc and it's whole selling point is the fight with Freide
I really do agree with the majority of ur list. The only thing I’d change is the third dlc of ds2. Due to the lore of the dlc and old ivory king id rank it two maybe three spots higher. I think it’s better than first dlc of ds2 and 3. But other than that I agree with the list
So accurate with old hunters, ringed city and phantom liberty far out!!
I'd take old hunters over ringed city any day of the week.
You’re quickly becoming my favorite soulsborne content creator. You’re so underrated 💯💯
Thank you so much :)
Man, I really wish I enjoyed ds2 like the rest of the people in these comments. I played through once and can’t bring myself to play it again.
I didn't even finish The Ringed City too far after the demons fight. It's just annoying, tedious, gimmicky area after annoying, tedious, gimmicky area after annoying, tedious, gimmicky area. I hear Slave Knight Gael is one of the best bosses, but I also hear the middle two bosses are some of the worst so you can't really convince me to give it another chance.
15 days left🙏
My DLC ranking would go like this :
7 - Crown of the Sunken King
6 - Crown of the Ivory King
5 - Ashes of Ariandel
4 - Crown of the Old Iron King
3 - Artorias of the Abyss
2 - The Ringed City
1 - The Old Hunters
Phew! Brave fella, but I appreciate voicing your opinion. You'll definitely get a lot of chatter with them.
Thanks for the video, but i must also politely tell you that The Old Hunters is the greatest DLC ever attached to the greatest game ever.
Funny how you put the Hunter's Nightmare as a downside to Old Hunters, since I actually consider it a highlight.
For me, seeing this alternate version of Cathedral Ward was incredibly cool and interesting, both from a story and visual perspective. The same also applies to Artorias of the Abyss, though to a much lesser extent there. I really love seeing and comparing the contrast between the two areas and pondering why and how they are different in those ways, not to mention just the nostalgia aspect of seeing a new side of something you're familiar with.
I guess most people dislike "reused" things by default, but I never found them to be a problem. Maybe it's just me, but even the many repeated enemies in Elden Ring or Lords of the Fallen were never a negative, and some reuses like these areas in the dlc, Loretta and even Crucible Knights and Pursuers are just a straight positive.
The ringed city areas are very mid tbh , the old hunters have 3 amazing areas with more memorable moments , better enemies , better lore and bosses are debatable ( I prefer the ringed city ) , I think it's not even a debate old hunters is way better
Every souls dlc ranked, yes
My only problem with Old Hunters and its not the dlc's fault is that i am playing it in ng+
Back then I played it right after I finished the platinum so the character was in Ng+3 and underlevelled as hell with bad charms.
To this day probably the second hardest thing I ever did in gaming .. Ludwig kicked my ass for several days :D
Yeah i'm at Ludwig right now and i cant even get to the Second Phase
I’m pretty sure you didn’t mean it that way, but I feel like there’s no way you actually mean that Sir Allone’s run back is the worst in the series when Reindeer Fuckland exists
4:02 dude idk. I know it’s a totally different genre but Fallout 3 and New Vegas has $10 dlc expansions and those were fire. Well… most were. I think if a consumer is expected to pay extra for content, said content should be “good” despite the price.
If you’re making me pay for more game, it needs to be as good or better than the base game IMO.
I have not played F3's DLC since I was a kid. But NV DLC was fire.
Why no one is talking about the duplicate sanctuary guardian? Am I missing something?
Sorry, I do not fully understand your comment. Perhaps you didn't know it existed? If that's the case, you can return to that location later in the DLC, and two of them will be in the boss arena. I don't exactly remember when they spawn, but they do, and they're hard. They're very, very hard.
@@CosmicEye597 that is exactly what I am saying. I have finished ds1 multiple times and I just find out this is even a thing.
@@aggelos_skr3083 Well, now you know. They are definitely a challenge.
For me, who didn't play Bloodborne
Worst to best
DS2 Poison dlc
DS2 snow
DS3 Frieda (I don't like this dlc, Fried is the only good thing)
DS2 Iron king DLC
Ds1 Artorias
Ds3 Ringed city
(I judge how much they add to the game, how much its core experience of the game)
Ringed City over Old Hunters is definitely a take
Accurate take as well
@@handzofstone1152 3 bosses, 1 NPC boss, and 2 areas vs 5 bosses and 3 areas
Old Hunters DLC is PEAK FromSoft DLC so far; can’t wait for SotE to upend the whole of it~
I wish Lotf had dlc..
I’m worried seeing this introduction of where my favorite DLC…
Ringed City over Old Hunters?? Unsubscibing right now
I hope ashes of ariendel is last place it’s the only one that really qualifies.
now I haven't played ds2 dlc cause everytime I do play ds2 I get frustrated and want to throw the disc out and set it on fire due to how annoying it is and I haven't played ds1 dlc since I'm dreading the last half but the other 3 I have beaten so although it's more of a top 3 it will change whenever I decide to not become a vampire and thrust a stake into my heart imbedded in garlic
3. ashes of ariandel. decent design with only great thing being sister friede(favorite boss in souls) and the other boss while I don't think is great, I also don't think it's bad
2. lost city. oh boy am I gonna get hate for this one. personally, I hate the area of the city, I'd probably like it more if there weren't dozens of arrows coming my way and angels shooting holy arrows (yes i do know you can kill the angels but its more worth just running). then the area is just bland like an unseasoned steak, but bosses are killer. you got twin princes (my favorite lost city boss), midir, and gael, hot take gael overrated and if halflight didn't have that summon he wouldn't be nearly as hated on as he is (still a meh fight with boring dialogue in the beginning).
1. old hunters. just recently beat this and my god is it wonderful. ludwig easily took me over 100 attempts with me being level 50 with a +7 whirligig and going up the tower, while annoying, was disturbing which is why we all love bloodborne. Orphan and maria were also amazing being some of the top bosses in souls (and probably gaming) with maria not taking me as long as orphan (again probably over 100 while also playing with my uncle). then Laurence which was pretty fun, ik a lot of people hate the tantrum attack but for me I just looped in a J formation and it worked fine and not locking on during 1st phase also helped.
while this was a basic b list idc because at the end of the day I had fun and loved taking down these bosses and exploring areas and I hope elden ring shadow of the erdtree will take my number one
Cool list and I love Ringed city but it has allot of annoying things, ghosts spamming arrows, angels spamming spells, 2 swamps, a complete unnecessary dragonslayer armour reskin, the skeleton part after Midir and Halflight is beyond bad even Living Failures is miles better. I also cant remenber a single important weapon while Old Hunters has some of the best weapons in the entire game.
Also every area in the Old hunters represents extremelly important parts of Bloodborne lore, first area we find Ludwig and Laurence, Second all about Maria story 3rd about Mother kos Maria and Gherman Ds3 is pretty much just Gael.
Music - Bloodborne Dlc
Weapons - Bloodborne Dlc
Lore - Bloodborne Dlc
Bosses - Maybe a tie but Blodborne has 1 more boss
Areas - Bloodborne Dlc
Atmosphere - Bloodborne Dlc
I believe though Elden Ring will become their very best.
Super high hopes.
1. Ringed city
2. Old hunters
3. Ivory king
4. Oolacile
5. Shulva
6. Brume
7. Ariandel
Hard to rank any of the DLCs. I love all of them. Obviously it's tempting to just say Old Hunters is the best, but honestly, I'm not in love with the Hunter's Nightmare as an area. I love fighting the old hunters, but the area is meh. Research Hall is a giant pain in the ass, even if I like the aesthetic. Fishing Hamlet is pretty great, but seriously fck those Sharks, most annoying normal enemy in all the games. More and more, I really dig the Dreg Heap, and I mostly like the Ringed City, even if the swamp area brings it down. I also happen to love Ashes of Ariandel. It's probably a tie between Bloodborne and DS3's dlcs. DS1 and DS2's dlcs are all amazing. Maybe Ivory King is at the bottom of the list, but I still look forward to playing it, except Frigid Outskirts. Please give us a Sekiro dlc or sequel.
Top3
3 Artorias of the Abyss Ds1
2 The Ringed City DS3
1 The Old Hunters Bloodborne
Practically no brainers.
Artorias DLC is super short tho which isn’t its fault but it is a reality of the world. I would def put any ds2 DLC above it
@@jonmann4980 i wouldn't put any ds2 dlc above it for as long as the horrible optional bosses, their runbacks and the frigid outskirts exists.
@@TheRealJohnux the fume knight and burnt ivory king runsbacks are both less than 30 seconds but you wouldn’t know that since you’re lying about having actually played the game
@@jonmann4980 bold Statement. Factually wrong, I played Ds2, both the Original and scholar Version and the DLCs for both. I meant the runbacks for the copypaste Co op areas respectively. The runbacks on All Final Bosses of the DLCs are super generous. If YOU actually played the game you would have known that the runback to Sinh the Dragon in the first DLC is practically less than 10 seconds.
Also, if you want proof for me playing the game and DLCs, when the DLCs Released the Chest in Majula gave out a blue longsword, a white blacksteel katana and a dark looking Murakumo in that order. Unless I mixed up longsword and murakumo. If that's not enough, The Kirins in the frigid outskirts drop dragonbones and have a chance to drop the bonefist weapon, Heides tower of Flame had practically no heide knights in the original, there was no troll in the river in giants forest, the forlorn didn't exist at all, one of the only changes in shrine of amana Was an added dragon rider guarding the door to Vendricks Soul.
@@TheRealJohnux I didn’t need to think about Sinh because I beat her on my first try. And why would I not think you’re lying when you make bald face lies while participating in the trend of shitting on ds2.
Saying anything dark souls 2 is better than anything from Dark Souls 1 is blasphemy
Saying anything Dark Souls 2 is better than ashes of ariandel when it has Sister Friede in it is Sacrilegious
There is absolutely nothing redeeming about Dark Souls 2 or its DLC's that game Deserves to be erased from history and Forgotten
My rank:
1. Old Hunters = Scholar of the First Sin.
2. Artorias of the Abyss.
3. The Ringed City.
All those are great, btw.
Showing Lords of the Fallen as a bad example is kinda unfair. Yes the starting class did cost extra, but apart from the necessity to deliver over 30 patches to make it a good game, the delivered the Randomizer mod, new classes, new quests and items and most recently a boss rush mode at absolutely no cost. So everyone how went away from the game, because it was so annoying, go back, you’ll have a totally now experience, then one everybody hoped for
Ringed City as the best? C’mon bro stop glazing DS3
The Old Hunters >> Artorias of the Abyss > The Ringed City. Haven't played DS2. The Old Hunters is always gonna be the best DLC oat
Oh look another souls content creator shitting on dark souls 2 how unexpected
"This DLC [Artorias of the Abyss] gives me a reason to not debate quitting when I have gained the ability to warp."
Personally, the DLC gives me a reason to play the DLC. In my two most recent DS1 playthroughs, I did the DLC immediately after receiving the Lordvessel, and then stopped. Most of the rest of DS1's second half sucks, and after beating Manus and Kalameet you have already beaten the game's hardest bosses and should have your build mostly complete, so there's really not a whole lot left to do but beat the game.
Honestly Ashes of ariandel is the weakest for me, the only amazing thing about it is Sister friede bossfight, everything else is kinda meh, and the DLC is pretty short with no "Legacy dungeon" to speak off. I'm not saying it's bad but compared to every other DLC it's the weakest.
DS2 DLC's for me had the best levels out of all of them, they just had so much emphasis on great and interconnective design, weird and creative puzzles, amazing secrets and items, great overall atmosphere and scenery etc... yes the co-op areas are atrocious but you can ignore those entirely. Ivory king DLC shouldn't be dead last mainly for one thing and it's the bone fist weapon.
Agreed for the most part with just one real thing: The Ringed City being better than The Old Hunters is far from an unpopular opinion. Of course the Bloodborne fans will always try to place Bloodborne first regardless of what you’re rating them on, but most people in general actually do prefer The Ringed City.
never cook again bruh tf, How is ashes of ariandel better then mferin shulva or ivory? and ringed city was trash except for the bosses it had, old hunters should be #1
DS2 slander going crazy, the game is pretty mid but tbh the level design in Shulva and Eleum Loyce completely clear any level in DS3. Ringed City and Painted world have good bosses, but it’s a stretch to even call those levels good.
its over for your artereor leaf genes
Shadow of the Erdtree will have the best boss fights in any of these dlc. I would go even farther to say in the entire series. Remember this comment and come back post Shadow of the Erdtree to tell me how right I was about this lol.
I agree, but many will complain about how the bosses have too many delayed attacks, too many combos and barely any openings and then compare them to DS3 bosses 😂😂.
I’m curious if there will be a boss that is better than sword Saint Isshin because right now the only bosses that come close imo are Lady Maria, Gael and Godfrey. I truly hope and believe you will be right
I personally think Sinh is better than Midir
This was a good watch, but i absolutely disagree with old hunters being so high. Bloodborne is my favourite FromSoft game, but the DLC is just bad. Maria is the one good boss, fishing hamlet is the one good level, the rest is just an annoyingly long weapons and armour pack. Research Hall looks great, but i can't forgive how the "blind" enemies are able to lock on to you and attack with such accuracy. And the Living Failures, wowwww 😂 they should've been an optional boss in a chalice dungeon, not a mandatory dlc boss.
Hopefully Shadow will be good and will improve the obvious flaws in Elden Ring that people dont like to talk about. Definitely waiting a month or so before i buy it tho 😂
Pretty mid list
Ariandel gets 2 places due to 5 minutes of OK content ( the boss) while being worse in every metric.
It's the worst dlc by far and ariandel and trc were supposed to be one dlc.
Artorias of the abyss is basically the same as all dark souls 2 dlcs with higher price and 2 comparatively worse bosses (I'd put it above ivory because that dlc sucks balls on replays)
Thinking DS2 is somehow a worse game than DS3 is NPC-type thinking. DS3 has the most linear game design, the most spammy combat, the most derivative Souls experience, accomplishing little in the way of memorable moments, in a vain attempt to recapture the magic that was DS1. On top of this, it has the most linear DLC, and the most underwhelming DLC in the series. The most significant contribution DS3 gave to the series was charged power attacks, coming at the cost of dual wielding though.
DS3 also signified the death of proper PvP, which became a spam-fest of rolling and ghosting, somehow even more janked than DS1 only with even less comprehensible poise. Where as DS2 PvP was precise and felt SOLID, it also had the most fleshed out PvP/PvE covenant system in any Souls game to date.
I can pick up and play a round of DS2 to this day, huge build diversity right from the beginning, with great options for deathless, or SL1 runs, wheras DS3 is impossible to play for more than a few hours before realizing I might as well play any other generic linear action game because it feels the same.
Nah DS3 better
Nah DS3 better
Nah DS3 better
ds3 is objectively better
nah ds3 is the best game ever made bro, ive played through all of ds2 wanted to slit my throat with the runbacks and the humanity and the fogwalls with 0 i-frames
