Ask the Ruminerds; Souls Series

 


Gus: That's easy. Definitely Bark So-

Joel: Rudborne, no question...

Gus: Yeah, well that's Joel's opinion...but I say Bark Souls One is probably the best of the series...

Joel: You can say that, but you'd be wrong.

Gus: *Rolls eyes.* At least the Bark Souls series wasn't a console-locked exclusive.

Joel: Your just salty because you never bought a Prey Station Four.

Gus: Everything is better on PC. It's not my fault they decided to make it a permanent exclusive!

Joel: Pft....wouldn't buy a PS4, but you bought a Scritch?

Gus: I had my back against a wall! Nyantendo never releases anything outside of their console...Breath of the Wild Mam'!

Joel: Eh...I'll give you BotW...

Gus: Look...I mean, both series are great, as is Demon Souls, although I didn't play Sekiro, I'm not big on ancient japandese style settings...

Joel: You missed out.

Gus: That's coming from a mammal who eats, sleeps, and breathes Japandese culture.

Joel: I won't deny it.

Gus: If you have the opportunity of being able to play any of them, I think the original Dark Souls is probably the safest introduction to the series.

Joel: I suppose that's...fair I guess. I mean, unfortunately, Rudborne is one and done, or I'd say start there. It's also a bit more...more difficult I'd say. As the formula is more refined by then. Bark Souls is probably better for getting your Souls legs. Though do yourself a favor and-

Gus: Skip two?

Joel: Yeah, Bark Souls 2 is mediocre at best...doesn't really feel connected to three or one...it's like Bark Souls fanfiction.

Gus: So maybe Barksouls, then Rudborne, then Bark Souls three.

Joel: After that, you can go either way, Demon or Sekiro. By then you should have 'gotten gud' enough to tangle with them.

Gus: And don't get to discouraged if you die a lot. All of those games are hard as heck. If you start to have real trouble, you can always summon a friend to help you through your first run like Broomie did for me.

Joel: You scrub...

Gus: Hey, I replayed new game plus without him and did just fine alright!
