Once you've played one, you've played them all.
I played all the Dark Souls games two times each (DS1, 2 and 3) and after that i got burnt out. I didn´t even play Sekiro and i have no desire to play Elden ring.
Yes, they ARE great games and i know Sekiro is great and Elden Ring will be awesome but i have no desire to play them anymore. I really hope that change in the future because i got so much enjoyment from my Souls period.

I love these games. BUT they are very samey at this point. Similar mechanics with a twist and a different theme. Dark souls but with guns and without a shield plus Lovecraft. Dark souls with grappling hook and stealth in japan. Next: dark souls open world and you have a horse.

Jedi Fallen Order was the worst, nearly ruined that game for me, just a pointless addition. I didn't mind fighting the enemies again when I died but having to get all the collectibles again was the worst. If the combat was better then it wouldn't have been as much of an issue, too much auto blocking and animation cancelling shite to artifically increase the difficulty of killing trash mobs. The fascination to make trash mobs take a minimum amount of time to kill is a bane on games in general, they are called trash mobs for a reason, you are supposed to obliterate them.

Same here. Sekiro was 2 years ago and I need moarrr.
If you say Sekiro and Bloodborne are the same as Dark Souls but different coating, then might as well saying the same to DMC, Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden and God of War

Same here tried stuff like Nioh and its just repetitive garbage with copy and paste environments and the same 5 monsters over and over again.

Opposite for me... There hasn't been one for years. Even if you count Sekiro, which I don't.
We need Elden Ring soon!

If I had access to Demon’s Souls and Bloodborne probably yes. My PS3 broke a while ago and I borrowed a friends PS4 back in the day to play BB. Currently I’m replaying DaS 1-3, and if I had DeS and BB I’d probably be burned out after playing all five of them. Sekiro doesn’t really play like a Souls game that much, so I don’t think it will get old when I play it again before Elden Ring is out.

I can't really replay any of the games. I have about enough tolerance to play through them once when they come out.
Finished Demon's Souls on PS5 last year, and I guess I'm about ready for Elden Ring in January.

Yes but that's my own fault really. In preparation for Elden Ring I decided I would platinum DS1, 2 and 3. The farming in 3 just broke me and I'm now happy we're 5 months away from Elden Ring lol

Oh, if the farming in DS1 broke you don’t ever attempt farming the pure bladestone in the original Demon’s Souls. Luckily they fixed the drop rate in the remake.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Eventually I move onto another game you could go back and play games and discover new things.

The farming in DS3 actually. More specifically Vertebra Schackles and Proof of a Concord Kept... it's just crazy low drop rates it's not even funny.
I've heard about the pure bladestone in the original, I'm not getting nowhere near close to trying that lol

I didn't enjoy Dark Souls 3 as much as enjoyed and loved the first 2 games. It was too similar and the additions like the weapon arts didn't do much for me. I didn't find the areas particularly strong or among the best in the series, same for the Bosses.
The best thing about Dark Souls 3 is the DLCs, the core game is rather short, too samey. I appreciate throwbacks but I don't want to the same stuff again, same NPCs like Onion Knight, Andre the smithy (Patches is ok as always), same spells, worse upgrade paths, worse Boss weapons, same rings, even some similar bosses (the fire Demon, Yhorm and the very same stormruler from Demon's Souls) the NPC stories aren't that special either. The best areas are Archdragon Peak and the new Prison of Latria throwback and the Nameless King is the best boss from the core game. Covenants are pretty much the same too, the rewards are not worhwhile and a pain in the ass to get. I platinumed the game.

Ah, yes those Silver Knights on the stairs of Anor Londo probably died +200 times each when I platinumed DS3, I forgot about that covenant item farming xD
I guess so but it is the darling of hardcore gamers,

Nope. Everytime an actual Soulsborne game comes out its an event on the level of a new release of GTA or Metal Gear for me.
I always want more, but that's just me. We are talking about what....6 games? 7 if you count Demon's Souls Remake? Over the course of....what 13 or so years? I think that's a good pace. I'm always ready to jump back in to the next one. Granted, I play a Souls game to the degree that I'll beat the game about 5 or 6 times and then start on a new character to make a meta build for PVP (SL 120, plus or minus a few levels). So I'm not playing these games to absolute death really. Last Souls game I've been able to play was Sekiro. I beat it about 3 times...and that came out 2 and a half years ago. Fuck yea I'm ready for Elden Ring now.

Nah. By the time it releases, it will almost have been 3 years since Sekiro. I'm at the point where I can't wait to dive back into a world that FromSoftware has created.

I'm suffering so much souls fatigue that I've never played even a single one of them. I do plan to make an exception for Sekiro at some point in time.
