A lot of people do not like my opinions on DS2 (which, I don't even have one I just never have played it lol) and especially Bloodborne. You are MORE than welcome to have a different opinion, that's the beauty of video games. However, just want to remind everyone of a few things:
1. Let's try and have some class and be respectful. This is just some random dudes opinion and these are just video games. Y'all are MORE than welcome to share your differing opinions and we can discuss, but I will not tolerate any name calling or being a dick and will delete any comments that go too far.
2. I very much enjoyed Bloodborne. I think it's a great game. I just like the other games in the tier list above it more and I gave a lot of reasons WHY that is for me. Try and listen.
3. I said DS2 gets a bad rep, so I'll probably never play it, BUT obviously there are a LOT of people that actually like it. So if I ever have a lot of time, I'll give it a try.
Thanks for watching the video everyone!
You ask for peoples comments and thoughts for engagement then get upset 😂
@@Th3ExtraBruh, I only put that because people were name calling and being rude. You are more than welcome to have a different opinion than me. I actually encourage that.
@@TroySturdy I mean what did you expect if you’re reviewing a game you never played and didn’t even talk about trick weapons for the bloodborne review 😭😭 you must not have used them in your playthrough?
@@Th3Extra I didn’t review it, I said I never played it? Also yes I did use trick weapons. The threaded cane was one of my favorites as I ran a dex build. They were cool but nothing too earth shattering. Again, probably didn’t hit as hard for me because I played it 9 years after release.
I just started playing DS2, a few days ago. And it's not very good. Doubt I'll finish it. Loved all the others.
Lies of Peak
Lies of poop
@@DonovanGG__ how do you not like it ? Just curious
@@DonovanGG__hater
@@db.3328You know it's a good game but you shouldn't put it between the soulsborne games
Lies of garbage
Lies of P's rank at A is a good spot. It has its quirks and a few ideas could use a 2nd look.
Still crazy that this was their first try at a Souls game and they managed to bring us such a polished game.
I can't wait to see what the DLC/New Titles will bring us. Hopedully they open the scope of the game a little more, now that they have seen all the positive feedback from players.
Yup, glad to see Lies of P getting some love. I think it tends to be a bit overlooked.
DS2 does not suck, i will not take this slander....
I agree is way too overhated and still a quality game but is objectively the worst souls game
I never said it sucked...I've just never played it lol. Now I said a lot of OTHER people say it sucks, but these comments have be thinking otherwise as there are a lot of defenders.
It’s easily the worst of the 3 it’s still a good game tho
@@TroySturdyhow has bro played lies of p but not dark souls 2
I loved it too. I don't know its situation at launch, but to be a souls fan but commit to not playing ds2 is a silly concept lol.
I think Lies of p is s tier for sure the graphics, the way it plays, how dark it is. And the simple fact that you can't get lost. It's really linear.
Lies of P along these classics is such an amazing compliment. It really was a fantastic game. My favorite of 2023 even over BG3.
I think most of people didnt agree with bg3 winning, for me prob re 4 remake, cus i love it.
But its a remake soo, normal not winning
Well spoken video. You articulate your thoughts and opinions clearly to the viewer. Keep doing what you're doing!
I honestly cant put any of them above each other. Have not played Lies of P or Elden Ring yet.
But BB, DS1/DS2/DS3 and Nioh/Nioh 2 are all S Tier for me. Each have positives and negatives.
You articulated your opinions so well, I haven't play most of the souls games yet but I think you gave a really good understanding of what you like about each title without spoiling too much. Try Hollow Knight if you haven't!
DS2 is different. That's the mindset to go into with it. It has it's own genius features that never get brought back and that people don't even really talk about because they're overshadowed by the "DS2 bad" memes.
What you said about Demon's Souls also kind of applies to Dark Souls 2, about the environments being the tougher part of the game. I personally didn't like the shift in focus being more on the bosses because that leaves so much environmental interaction on the table.
Great tier list and great video! I have to be real with you man you're really doing yourself a disservice by not playing Dark Souls 2 scholar of the first sin Edition. It is actually really good. I do recommend that you play it!
I started with DS3 thinking I would quit. But loved it. Then DS1 was slow n initially did not like it but wow once I got in. It was amazing. Then played DS2, I tried. But at some point I uninstalled the game because it was just that bad for me. But well opinions. Atleast I know I gave it a try
@@MaskhenzoG you know it's not for everyone. I'm glad you at least tried it though I personally did enjoy it.
@@MaskhenzoG So you rage quit? i feel like most people who give up on Ds2 just arent good at the game, but use "bad game design" as an excuse. You cant play it as you would Ds1 and Ds3.
@@smoothyodaproductions4373 if you tried you tried. Game was just annoying. I played the game n probably for 3 hours if not more but I couldn't anymore n I will never play it again. It felt like I was forcing myself to play it because I wanted to play all of them. But wow. Such a horrible designed game. I feel like if it was your first then maybe you can enjoy it.
@@MaskhenzoG Why is it a horribly designed game? Also i played Elden Ring and Ds1 before ds2, and i still enjoy it. But what makes you think it’s horribly designed?
Incredible video , even though we don’t have the same opinion I respect your and it is always a pleasure to hear what others people think about those masterpieces
Thank you for disagreeing and being civil about it! That's the beauty of subjective things like video games. Appreciate you tuning in.
i played sekiro, ds3 and now lies of p. im in love with lies of p (easier than sekiro), the story, the world, vibes, music so amazing 🔥🔥. im waiting dlc or sequel cuz that dorothy in the endgame cutscene
One of the best tier lists out there
Great list, i agree with pretty much all of it. Sekiro is easily the best combat, i felt like i was improving as the story went along while with Dark Souls, i felt i was becoming better at that specific boss only
Nice list! I agree with everything except DS2 should be in A tier IMO. DS3 was kind of forgettable to me in many ways but DS2 I remember everything. The art style and world they built there was incredible. Honestly Bloodborne is almost C tier for me simply because it's too dark for my liking. Everything looks the same, and it has too much of a melancholy vibe (I know it was supposed to). I also prefer the slower combat style.
Lies of P has become my favourite single player game.
I was really disappointed by Sekiro and Elden Ring is a bit
too big and too much running around for my taste.
The story in Lies of P is amazing and it's deep enough to have you intrigued but it's also well told so anyone could get into it without outside help.
I also think almost all of the major bosses are really well done and together with the combat mechanics this game just becomes perfection to me.
It might be difficult to get into for some but I thought Sekiro was too easy so for me it was perfect difficulty wise.
Should be a pity right
My personal list:
GOAT: Elden Ring
S: Dark Souls 3, Sekiro
A: Bloodborne, Dark Souls, Lies of P
B: Demons Souls, Ds2
Top tier list right here. Also don’t worry about not playing dark souls 2, based on your criticism on demon souls you would hate ds2. I’m also not a fan.
I love how Lies of P is so good that people just include it with the other Soulsborne games 😆
Dark souls 2 is worth the first playthrough but when I beat it I just felt like I had finished a type of beautiful punishment. I love it, I’d call myself a DS2 enjoyer, but I suffered so much my first playthrough I was just happy to be done with it
Played Sekiro then lies of P and I loved both games so much. Next on my list is bloodborne.
The low score attributed to Demon's Souls is always related to players who never played the OG game back in 2010. The barbaric and authentic atmosphere in the ps3 version is unique and easily supercedes some titles, it deserves a higher spot IMO
I just beat DS2 and the Dark Souls Trilogy! I still like DS1 the most.
Finally someone who considered lie of p as a souls game and ranked it.
DS3 and BB are perfection masterpieces to put DS1 over them is just glazing over delusional nostalgia warriors, sad
You are definitely biased for samurai/ eastern themes / settings in gaming, bro loves samurai’s 👀 But you did explain what game components of the game play you enjoyed more which saved you!
What can I say I’m a weeb
I could very well be wrong here, though I feel like perhaps there is some public perception entering your opinion, what I mean is that you went into Bloodborne with all the hype behind it, but as often can happen the hype falls short of the experience which has happened here..
On the flip side there is all the negativity surrounding DS2, where you have followed that negativity and not given it a go.. it's actually not as bad as people will lead you think.. it's not as good as the other games in the FS catalogue, but it;s still good and well worth a play. Anyways, cool vid nice chat..
You’re probably right. Although in one instance (Bloodborne) i didn’t buy into the general public perception. I actually disagreed with it a bit and I think it being so hyped up led me to be underwhelmed.
As for DS2, I did buy into the majority public perception, which in hindsight I think isn’t entirely fair. I have decided I want to give it a shot at some point. Perhaps I’ll update my tier list then.
My list
S - Lies of P then Sekiro (parry/deflect mechanic is easy s)
A - Ds 3 then Elden ( Hate the open world not my cup of tea)
B - Bloodborne ( Hate the asthetics in Bloodborn and the creepy vibe and its 30fps)
C - Dark souls then Demon souls (One time thing to boring )
F - DS2 ( Don't want to waste time playing a bad game , if asmon says its bad then it is)
I'm currently playing dark souls 2 for the first time I recently finished demons souls, dark souls remastered and sekiro and honestly so far dark souls 2 isn't bad.
I decided to play ALL the from soft games to actually have the scope and idea to properly give my opinion. Yes I heard the community time and time again that dark souls 2 sucks I'm understanding why they would say that but so far not me it does not suck....
I respect you, and your right to an opinion. And at the end of the day, a souls fan is a souls fan and we're all family. But...respectfully, you got some smelly takes my friend.
Thank you for the respectful rebuttal! That is welcome here. Although I think I stated a strong case, you have the right to disagree. Glad to see another souls enjoyer watching my content.
@@TroySturdy you damn right about Sekiro though
@@wanderingsoul7341 Arguably my favorite combat of ANY game.
I love this list, it’s your list and you create it how you want! Love the edit it was good and funny! I’ve only played Elden ring and playing DS3, but lies of p is the list for me 👀🫡
Where's lords of the fallen 2014 and 2023 , the surge 1 and 2, thymesia,nioh 1 and 2 and moral shell ???
wtf did I just watch
bb and ds3 in b tier lol
My tier list
Bro of you don't agree with it. Go elsewhere
@@Docyangthats actually crazy. Didnt see more crazy opinion
Id say give Ds2 a try. Skipping it just because people say its bad isnt a good way to go about things, and its not fair. Who knows, you might be one of those people who really love Ds2. Me personally, i really enjoyed my first playthrough. Its still my least favorite of the trilogy, but i dont think its bad. I actually think it has the best story out of the 3. Incredibly based for putting Ds1 above Ds3 though, I love the bosses but it felt like too much fanservice at times lol.
I think you’re right. Especially reading the comments here, I think I will give it a try. Maybe even make a video on my experience. The issue now is just finding the time. Glad to see someone share some of my thoughts on Ds3 though. Thanks for watching!
@@TroySturdy no problem, good video dude
Just finished LOP and it was good, Id say solid 8/10. But to put it above BB is a mistake and wrong. But thats just my opinion, I think Bloodborne is a masterpiece. Im super biased, as it was my entry into fromsoftware and soulsborne games. LOP had a GREAT story, but the game mechanics could be a lot better.
Bloodborne anywhere below A tier is an insane take.
Every boss in the base game is a beast boss you stand behind and attack. Farming vials early game sucks. The chalice dungeons suck. The game runs at 30 fps cap and feels terrible. I think the bloodborne defenders need to wake up and realise their game isn't as great as they thought it was 9 years ago.
@@shadysorkin9214as someone who started with Elden ring then went and played the other souls games I can confirm bloodborne is peak and has withstood the test of time. The game has the best weapons,soundtrack,area design,attention to detail and lore (though that’s arguable with dark souls) of any souls game.
The bosses are beasts but most of them are quite aggressive and well designed. If you had actually played the game you’d know that standing at their legs hacking away is a death sentence as every beats boss has a move made to get you away from their legs. All of Bloodbornes humanoid bosses with the exception of Micolash are among the best human bosses fromsoft has ever put out.
The dungeons do suck but they serve no purpose other than rune farming. the platinum trophy and blood gems so it shouldn’t be counted for the actual game
I always get a laugh at people like you whining about 30 fps when it’s perfectly playable and for a game released on the ps4 did you seriously not expect bloodborne to run at 30 fps?
The old hunters dlc is by far the best fromsoft dlc to date, they nailed everything from the lore to the area design and even the bosses. If the quality of the base game is anything to go off of then it’s extremely unlikely shadow of the erdtree will beat the old hunters
Bloodborne is great game, I just think the other games above it are much better.
Not everyone prefers the Victiorian style setting that Bloodborne provides. I love the dark fantasy setting of the Dark souls series way more.
I literly agree with you
Elden ring and sekiro are masterpiece
I respect your opinion and I haven’t played all the others yet but B tier is too low for bloodborne I already know for me even after I play the other games but the world, atmosphere, story and combat alone make it a very very special fromsoft B tier is just a bad take imo but I get it opinions are opinions
Absolutely love bloodborne but I agree with the lies of p take
The fact that you don't feel compelled to replay these games makes it seem like you aren't much of a fan.
Nah bro Ds2 is actually a good game but comparatively its about on par with Demons Souls
Dude deserves far more views
People who think DS2 is bad but DS1 is good are insane to me. There were so many quality of life improvements between those two, DS2 has the most variety in builds, weapons, style, etc, DS2 has the most balanced PVP by a mile, it's the best about preventing roll spam and fixed unfair backstabs, has a better story than 1 or 3, and the areas are insanely overhated because morons try to run through them instead of actually playing through them
oh... you put Sekiro at S tier too lol, makes sense have a nice day
@@thekillers1stfan What you got against Sekiro? Honestly curious because it's nearly universally praised.
As for DS2, yeah there are a lot of defenders here...so I might have to give it a shot.
@@TroySturdy Because Sekiro is not an RPG, it isn't a souls game. It's a weird hybrid between old assassin's creed and Dark Souls. It's one of the few games I purchased and decided it wasn't worth the effort to "Get Good" at.
You should definitely give it a shot! DS2 is the most realistic feeling which pisses off people because it is really harsh about teaching people not to spam and it isn't as fast as the others but it's pace allows more thought and intention. It also has the most variety in playstyle of any of the games and the only one even close is Elden ring. Also the mobs are literally nothing worse than DS1, people just don't know when to back up rather than run forward like morons.
@@thekillers1stfan Fair point, if the RPG elements are what you enjoy out of souls games then Sekiro is definitely not going to be your cup of tea. Sekiro is purely about combat with basically no RPG elements. However, this is one of the reasons why I enjoy it so much because it focuses on one thing and it does that perfectly. I've never felt better sword fighting in any game, period. I'd still consider it a souls game because the RPG elements are not the heart of what a souls game is about, in my opinion.
Hmm, I might have to! Now just because I love Sekiro, doesn't mean I don't enjoy the RPG elements because Elden Ring is my number 1 favorite. So from what I'm hearing about DS2, I would really enjoy the variety and build aspects. Thanks for the good information!
I agree with the story and roll spam. All your moves feel methodical, and Ds2 was the last game where maintaining stamina was a major part of gameplay. Ds3 and Elden Ring just got people used to roll spamming, and many of the bosses and areas didnt punish them enough for that. Ds2 absoluty punishes this habit with bosses like fume knight and sir alonne, and people who see Ds2 as a bad game generally are just bad at the game, and use "bad game design" and "oh everyone says this is the worst one so its not my skill" as an excuse. And yeah the story, after watching lore videos (thanks vaatividya) to learn more about it, is fantastic, and imo the best in the series.
Ds1s atmosphere is unmatched and the first half of the game up until anor londo is amazing but the second half of the game is abysmal
Yeah there is a huge drop off especially for today's standards, but for it's time it was still revolutionary.
Definitly not abysmal. Sure, the bed of chaos sucks, and lost izalith and demon ruins are unfinished and boring. But New Londo and Dukes Archives were great areas in my opinion and where at the same calliber as the first half. Not sure why so many people decide that the whole "second half" is bad.
Dark souls 3 B tier?? Bro you should have put it at a tier at least
It has great mechanics and weopon arts and a lot of nostalgia like the anor londo and the giant blacksmith
The dlc's are a masterpiece like some people believe slave knight gael of the ringed city is the goat and other bosses are exellent
Ds3 deserved more bro
bruh, this guy put bloodborne in B tear, wtf
Nah, no wo long Fallen dynasty? How could you miss that?
Never played it. I've heard mixed things tbh. What do you like about it?
please give ds2 a try it is much better than you think and have heard. it got a bad reputation from people pissed it wasn't just dark souls 1 *again* ignoring that not even dark souls 1 was exactly it's predecessor in demon souls.
ds2 is a great experience and I hope you give it a try as it's own game!
I'd have liked you to do the same joke tier but as in I cannot give an opinion on this game due to not playing it, rather than giving it the "this game isn't even worth playing just ask the souls boomers" tier woulda been a good joke!
Fair points. Honestly a lot of people on here defending DS2 so might have to give a try...
this man played fucking starfield and claims dark souls 2 is not worth his time 💀
To be fair he’s already played the best souls games and doesn’t want to touch a low tier souls game. He’s already experienced greatness, why risk playing something garbage? Starfield was a new Bethesda game that had mountains of hype so it makes sense.
@@StrideWalk the vocal minority of people that don't like dark souls 2 make it their lives mission to discourage people from playing it. the dude decided dark souls 2 is by default the worst because of them, he won't even give it a chance
@@jan-ep7lmwho’s gonna tell him it’s not the vocal minority? It’s the vocal majority. The only reason why ds2 was critically acclaimed was because dark souls 1 was highly praised and was challenging and people didn’t want to seem like they were new to gaming by sucking at ds2. He shouldn’t play dark souls 2 because it’s the worst souls game in every way. If he hates on demon souls for it having a lot of enemies and the bosses aren’t as good, he’s going to think dark souls 2 is the worst game ever created.
@@slashbased Ds2 has an 87 on steam and Sotfs has an 85. Its the vocal minority. If you like dark souls you should absolutely play 2. Its ridiculous to just write it off completely because its the least popular title. Its a great game IMO.
@slashbased you keep saying most, but that's just not true, and you know it. I'm sorry, but you've clearly decided you hate ds2, and you seem to want to make sure others hate it too. You say vocal majority says it's bad then say it has an 87 because of fan boys? So who is the majority? Clearly the people who like it. Most people in the souls community say lords of the fallen is better than ds2? OK now I know you're trolling. Anyone who is reading these comments, don't listen to this guy. Ds2 is a great game.
bloodborne B tier is actually crazy
Not really. Unless you’re fighting orphan of kos the combat can really be boiled down to diagonal dodging behind an enemy and bullying the hell out of them. The dlc is a phenomenal 10/10 but I’d honestly argue that the base game is the 2nd weakest experience after ds2.
What a based list
IMO Elden Ring is the best overall but Bloodborne is my favorite.
I am sorry, but I must inform you that you are wrong and you tier list is invalid. Yours sincerely, angry youtube commenter.
This is my tier list
Elden ring
Ds3
Ds1
Bloodborne
Sekiro
Ds2
Demon souls
Lies of p🤢
They hate ds2 because it's the hardest
Sekiro has the best combat of all the souls game therefore it is my favorite
All aouls game ❌️
All games✔️
DA2 is my fav one so your list is already invalid. Tuning out now pc out
You are missing out. Ds2 is awesome.
Id say ds3 deserves A tier off of pure boss quality alone. I agree with bloodbourne in b tier fsr. The most overrated souls game by far.
Souls like? All of them are made by the same developer you just added one game that is souls like.
Well sekiro doesn't really play like the rest of any of them 💀
Bb and ss3 ar B tier? Wtf lol.
Dark Souls 2 is a great game. I didn’t play it for a long time because everyone hated on it but they’re wrong. You should try it.
Bloodborne is an s game
But i get where you're coming from
do yourself a favor and play DS2
Issa no for me dawg
@@stone_est19xx50 coward
Well We’ll We’ll ranking ds2 as really bad without even trying it.
Lies of P, with its shitty animations is on top of ds3 and bloodbrone? I mean, is the best soulslike that is not an actual souls but cmon man... game is pretty much worse bloodborne with some sekiro on it, you cant put the copycat above the originals that makes no sense. I am not even mentioning the lore.
Bloodborne at b level is just stupidity 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I hate luges of p nil its not even a souls borne game
This is the only correct ranking for souls games
1. Bloodborne
2. Sekiro
3. DS3
4. Elden ring
5. DS1
6. Demon souls
7. DS2
Sekiro has the best combat, DS3 has the best bosses and bloodborne has the best weapons,soundtracks,art direction, attention to detail, enemy design and area design
Demons souls remake blows and is not faithful to the original at all.
Oh my god, you have a terrible opinion ; ds3 and Bloodborne deserves B?? 😂
