A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Besides what cod already said there's also a pretty big shift from slow and methodical gameplay of the first game towards fast and furious one in the third entry.
I like the first two games for example but the third one never really clicked with me, partially because of the fast and spammy enemies that became common in DS3. If you still want to try the series but don't mesh well with DS3 I'd suggest checking out the first game if you get a chance - you might end up like me.
The second one is also good but it has its own problems that are pretty contentious among DS players so I'd stick with the release order to be safe.
