I played one of them (2 I think) for a little bit, and felt like the game was really making no effort to get me into it. Felt like the game really didn't want me to play it, so I didn't.

in all fairness, 2 was terrible. It was made by a different team than all the other Fromsoft Souls titles, and it feels like the team knew WHAT people liked about Dark Souls but had no idea why that made them like it. Like, they knew the game was hard but not how to balance it so that it was challenging but fair, and instead opted for cheap kills, ganks, and overwhelming odds. I disliked II a lot, even though Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls III, Bloodborne, and Sekiro are all among my top 25 favourite games of all time. 

I would recommend III or Bloodborne if you wanna give the franchise another shot. 

Don't think I do.

The main thing that bothered me, which other people have pointed out, is the complete lack of direction. I don't like that in games generally. It can be done well, like in Breath of the Wild where you don't have much direction, but whichever way you go you're going to find something interesting that will ultimately contribute to completing the game's main objective. In this case though, it felt like there was something I was supposed to be doing at that particular game, but the game just wasn't going to tell me what it was. 

Also, I may have been playing one. I don't remember.
