So recently I played through DSR. It was my first time playing any of the souls games. Elden Ring was my first FromSoft game.
Anyway, I found my play through to be very frustrating and then very rewarding. The worst part was when I managed to get stuck in the Tomb of Giants at a very low level. I was weak and and had no light source and it literally took me 10 hours of gameplay to get the fuck out. It is the closest to feeling like Helen Keller I have and ever will experience in my life. At one point I contemplated quitting or at least rerolling, but my pride and ego pushed me through.
So after I beat that DSR I started DSII, and this game just fucking sucks in comparison to DSR. The controls feel so different from DSR and ER that I honestly want to quit and just play DS3. Its funny how I feel this need to beat DS2 at least once for one of because of this this weird idea in my head that I have to experience it because reasons. Like my gaming resume really matters, it is a weird almost fomo feeling. I guess the GitGud really calls at me deep down.
So basically I am torn, should I just power through DS2? or should I just move on to DS3? or should I play Lords of the Fallen because it just launched and playing games at launch at the same time as board members is really fun?
