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. |
I'd sat let DS2 slip into your backlog for a while too cause it's unlikely you'll wanna finish DS2 with the way it's designed. It would be like playing Red Dead Redemption right after RDR, it would massively put you off of it.
