So, a couple weeks back I recently finished my first playthrough of Dark Souls(and I'm also quite bored of reading about NMS). I quite enjoyed it, though it was pretty much a solo experience for me. Tried the Jolly Co-operation with others and was mostly not impressed by the system(it was hard to find other people to play with when I was actually looking to co-op bosses). I actively loathed the PVP and I'm sure I pissed off a few invaders during my playthrough because of my refusal to play.
So I know that someday I will play another game in the series, and it's very likely going to be Dark Souls 2 or Dark Souls 3. Normally picking the next game wouldn't be difficult, but the Souls games tend to be tenuously connected at best. Not only that, but I was paying some attention when DS3 dropped(which is one of the reasons I finally got around to playing DS) and noticed there didn't seem to be a clear sense of DS2 or DS3 being the better sequel/game. Opinion seemed rather divided(and honestly, I don't know if that's changed).
So before anyone says it, Bloodborne is actually my first choice to play next. However, I don't own a PS4 and right now Bloodborne is pretty much my only reason to purchase one. So barring Sony letting FROM actually make a PC port of Bloodborne, I'm either waiting for a major price drop on the PS4 or something like the Last Guardian making me break down and purchase a PS4. Either way, it's still gonna be a while before I get to Bloodborne.
I'm not completely against Demon Souls either, but from what I've read, Dark Souls is pretty much a far better version of Demon Souls, so there's not a lot of reason to go back to it unless I'm really hurting for some Souls action.
So TL;DR, which Souls game would be the best next game to experience?
