Should I get Dark Souls 1/2 before 3?

Thanks for making this thread. I've been meaning to get around to the series as well and didn't know where to start.

For me personally I don't believe I'll have enough time to really engross myself in the story so I just want to jump in for the gameplay. I'm also including Bloodborne and the original Demon Souls into my considerations for introductions to this series. Would Bloodborne be a good start? It's the most recent mechanically (even if it is supposed to be quicker) and shouldn't be too expensive now. I also already have Dark Souls 1 and Demon Souls from GoG/PS+ but I found character creation too difficult.

You should play them in order, Demons Souls, Dark Souls 1 and 2, then Bloodborne (which is VERY different in terms of the basic gameplay mechanics) and then Dark Souls 3.
