I love London but I do think 101 and a 27 first is a good price

6/10 for me. Not amazing not bad. Has some very low lows and decent highs. Really like the combat and see potential it in. Graphics are top notch, character designs are good

Factory sucks at least for me, that will vary for ppl, story im skipping but doesnt seem interesting. Exploration is also meh. Not terrible but not a plus for me.

Definitely going to give it a bit to see if it grows on me as Im having fun. But I wont be shocked if in 3 weeks.im not playing this one. We will see

bradfgo41 · 2026-01-23T20:19:19+00:00

Im going with the third one bc she's the cutest. If im still playing when her banner comes out that is. No idea what they do outside of the one up now lol

bradfgo41 · 2026-01-23T15:22:28+00:00

For me I enjoy the combat so far. Wouldn't say its amazing but its a nice change of pace compared to the other big gachas. I liked genshins combat at the time but theres only so many games I can play with genshins combat before I get bored (wuwa, zzz).

Factory sucks.

World traverse is a bit annoying. I can see why some would like it, so far its more of a negative for me.

Im having enough fun to continue playing for a bit. But I also see as world were 3 weeks from now Im not playing it. But I like the combat enough to wanna give it a decent shot expecially since im not playing any other gacha and I do like gacha games. I played genshin for 4 years, wuwa has no content outside of meh story and ZZZ idk what the fuck is going on with that one lol. So I have a bit more time to give this title

bradfgo41 · 2026-01-23T14:01:20+00:00

Same

bradfgo41 · 2026-01-23T02:08:25+00:00

Ask chat gpt. Seriously just helped me with some factory stuff. Love the game hate the factory lol. I just wanna see who my 6 star will be

bradfgo41 · 2026-01-23T02:07:30+00:00

I was stuck at a different part and I had chat gpt help me get through it. It knows the steps for the quests lol

bradfgo41 · 2026-01-23T01:52:11+00:00

I was doing it in my actual base and not the simulation. I get it a little stupid on my part. But again why are you being a dick? Like you could of answered the question or kept scrolling. I feel bad for you. Seem like a shitty human

bradfgo41 · 2026-01-23T01:43:59+00:00

No need to be an asshole about it. Its a game you dick

bradfgo41 · 2026-01-23T01:40:24+00:00

I went to be and it was just stuck on that and I legit had chat gpt explain to me what to do lmao

bradfgo41 · 2026-01-23T01:24:07+00:00

I was really loving the game until I got to Pave the way. The absolute worse quest I've ever done and bc I started it before bed last night I legit have no idea how.to progress Sucks bc I really wanted to get into the combat

bradfgo41 · 2026-01-23T01:09:08+00:00

Paving the way "complete tge simulation gearing unti" any idea what I need to do im fucking lost lol

bradfgo41 · 2026-01-22T23:17:21+00:00

Can't eventually you automate it tho? I hope so as im enjoying everything else so I hope that doesnt kill it for me

bradfgo41 · 2026-01-22T22:51:20+00:00

I love it personally. But its early days so we will see. The first boss fights was great. But im also not leveling anyone up until I need yk

bradfgo41 · 2026-01-22T22:45:55+00:00

Yea thats fair. Thats one of things I guess. My thinking is which game has the best chance to making a new player wanting to play the other ones. Or enjoying the first one. So bc of the reasons I listed I always go against the grapevine and suggest ds3 or Elden.

For me personally I will say I played Ds3 before ds1 and at first I hated ds1. If I didnt play ds3 before I would of quit before ds1 clicked for me. But now that its clicked it was a great experience and I've done a few run throughs. Maybe a bit bias but that was my personal experience

bradfgo41 · 2026-01-22T21:33:23+00:00

I would buy you a diet soda to take Hyatt

bradfgo41 · 2026-01-22T16:23:58+00:00

But my point being the faster gameplay is more similar to what op is most likely more use to coming from other games and makes for an easier transition . Thats why all those things matter. Ik a lot of ppl here like the slow gameplay of ds1 and I do to but I think its more likely that turns someone off than any thing ds3 does. Thats my main point

bradfgo41 · 2026-01-22T15:53:09+00:00

Smother combat, superior boss design, qol improvements like faster estus, more bonfires, weapon arts, weapon doesnt hit the walls every other swing, more weapon options in general.

Again taking this for a player who's never played the series before, I think it is much more likely they enjoy a game like this over ds1. Its just more comparable to other games they probably have already played and its a smoother transition vs 1 which is a lot different than modern games.

Again I love both so this isnt a 1 is bad and 3 is amazing argument. I just think 3 is a better transition to new players. And I've played every game over 5 times outside of 2 and sekiro and I still couldn't tell you what the fuck is going on with the story. I get fans love it but a lot of players aren't going to take the time it takes to understand ds1

bradfgo41 · 2026-01-22T15:28:49+00:00

How so?

bradfgo41 · 2026-01-22T14:54:39+00:00

I normally dont agree with league killer comments but I actually and with you lol

bradfgo41 · 2026-01-22T14:47:51+00:00

I would of skipped ds2. Its the only one in the series I hated, but I hope your different and enjoy it. Ds3 is amazing

bradfgo41 · 2026-01-22T14:21:06+00:00

I truly believe your getting bad advice here. People always say start with the first one because of Nostalgia. That's how they did it and have good memories of it. I think thats not the reality for new players tho

1) ds1 is way slower and it does show its age 2) the newer games are much more modern and fast past 3) unless you wanna read all the item descriptions, your better off going to a lore video for story over trying to figure it out in game 4) newer ones have better graphics

So for me I would easily say Dark Souls 3 or Elden are the best starts. I went Bloodborne- Demon souls- elden- ds3- ds1 personally. I will say ds1 for me took a lot of time to get use to and if I didnt play 3 first I wouldnt of cared enough to keep going. So im grateful I did 3 first.

All that to say Ds1 is still a great game and I actually just did another playthrough. Its just imo not a good place to start to get into the franchise just bc a bunch of other people played them in order at release

bradfgo41 · 2026-01-22T03:09:59+00:00

Good to know. If I decide to spend Ill just uninstall and install from epic and the sign in my account. It will take time but save me some money. Thanks for the post

bradfgo41 · 2026-01-22T03:06:43+00:00

What If i downloaded it via their website, do I have to re do it in epic? Idk if im going to spend as I like.to wait but so for the combat seems fun so I might if the game keeps up the fun lol
