I already own the original, but back when I got it I was unable to play due to the poor control schemes since I am disabled. Now I own an Xbox Adaptive Controller that I used to play through Elden Ring pretty well. I’d love to go back and play some of the earlier games.
I already own the original. Is it in any better state to play? I remember needing to add a fan patch to fix a lot of the issues. Or should I just get the Remaster and call it a day? Is there a recommended play order? I do see people recommending 3 over the first two if you’re coming off Elden Ring.
Appreciate your opinions.
You all are awesome, thanks so much for your recommendations. Decided to give Prepare to Die another shot with DSFix, DS Config Utility and Widescreen Fixer. Looks awesome!!
If anyone has issues with the HUD at 5120x1440.
In Widescreen Fixer:
Uncorrected Resolution: 2560x1440
Bezel-Corrected Resolution: 5120x1440
3 plays more like elden ring, 1 and 2 are a bit slower (like you literally swing and move slower) hince why people who’ve only played ER are recommended 3 because going straight to 1 could be a bit jarring.
I started with DS1 so its hard for me to say whether or not it would be that jarring, but 3 has a lot of lore and easter eggs for people that played 1, but at the same time im sure those easter eggs would still work if done in reverse since you would recognize ds3 things when you play ds1.
My advice is to play 1, 3, 2 but if you want the tighter, faster ER combat go for 3 first
