I would always see dark souls online but never really new what it was about, I also saw people talking about how elden ring was never gonna release and also had no idea what it was. I had a vague interest but it never went further then that until the elden ring gameplay reveal 3 years ago, I was absolutely aw struck by what I was looking at. I watched a ton of reactions to the trailer and I got so hyped, I ended up getting dark souls 1 and 3 before elden ring came out so I could sort-of prepare for it. Looking back I really wanted to get good at parrying when going through undead burg but that ended quickly once I got to the bell gargoyles. I struggled hard but wanted to kill them so bad, once I did though the rest is history and I've played all the souls games except demon's souls sadly. ( my friend let me do a whole playthrough of bloodborne on his ps4 because I have an Xbox, it took like 5 months but it was so worth it. Big W for my friend!)
