if you do not scramble through the first playthrough of a fromsoft demon souls type game like a shithouse rat (without looking up "builds" and "metas" and "secrets" on the internet) you are doing yourself a mondo disservice

Elden Ring kinda fucks with that. Having no direction whatsoever for what you want to get at least at the start of the game for your preferred style of play will end up with you missing crucial equipment because it's not linear. The rest tho, yeah.

I only look up builds/playthrough guides, etc after I fumble my way through a game first. I enjoy looking like a bumbling murder hobo at least once in every game I play. Just a guy who accidentally became the main character and doesn't know how anything works is my gender.

Someone at least should have the decency to tell you that Vigor is the most important stat.

Can confirm. I knew nothing, I sucked at everything, cried, yelled, ran around in a panic. It was super fun. ^_^

I started looking stuff up in the middle of my first elden ring playthrough, massive mistake. Trying to avoid learning a single thing about the dlc.

this is how i gave up on all souls games forever after bouncing off the first boss in the first game like 37 times, and honestly yeah uninstalling and never looking back was the right call

Ideally, you should also have a friend who's already played so they can just give you nudges when the game gets too impenetrable.

My first time through dark souls I quit after two weeks of banging my head against the skeletons at firelink shrine because I didn’t have internet access and I was told the game is really hard

I did look up the Fia quest tbh but I also regretted it. Trying to unlock shadow of the erdtree on NG+ and walk-through all the way though

One of my favorite experiences in gaming is blundering through a Souls boss and accidentally killing it on the first attempt. Twisty lion in the DLC was the latest. It killed me, but the crimson rot got it before the fade to bonfire.

my first Dark Souls 1 playthrough was spent fat rolling and poking things from a shield with a halberd. I honestly wish the series didn't go in the direction it did and that being a slow tank was still a way you could play the game
