Story is a weird aspect of this whole franchise because nothing is outright told to the player. You pretty much have to discover the lore by yourself.
I'd say you'd be missing references, easter eggs and small plot details, but no problem if you go straight to Dark Souls 3 from the get-go. I'd say play Dark Souls 1 because it's a damn fine masterpiece of a game.
