Ended up picking it, will try to start 1 today so I can play 2 asap.
Way too many good cupouns around here this last few days, was not expecting to get it this year at all.

I'd say skip 1, watch the recap or maybe a YouTube video and go straight into the loop here, it takes so long in DS1 to get to it's brilliance, here it takes no more than a dozen hours gameplay wise while still after 22 hours the story has yet to be anything but small cutscenes, really cool ones but here, it doesn't have that narrative hook DS1 came out the gate with. If you story, go for 1 but you'll burn yourself out for 2 and probably need a break or you'll hurt 2 for yourself. 

I would hardly play a direct sequel first, even less watch the story of a game I own for years now, lol.

If DS1 ends up being bad and make me want to rethink playing 2 soon, so be it, but it's a good chance to finally play something from my backlog lol.
