Is it important to play dark souls 1 and 2 before 3?

You don't have to play the first 2 games in order to enjoy the 3rd one. Actually the 3rd one could be a good entry point. The story is related to the previous games, and there are a lot of references. But as always, the story is up to interpretation.

Should i start with dark souls 1 or 3?
When games have a number attached to the end of their title, people tend to question whether they should start with the first game or if the sequel is a viable entry point. Veterans of Dark Souls and hardcore fans will suggest playing the first game, but in reality, it's perfectly fine to start with Dark Souls 3.

Do you need to play dark souls 1 to understand 2?
Well, there is no link between storylines, so you could play Dark Souls II without playing Dark Souls 1, but I would recommend playing the first game, because if you don't, you will have no idea what you're doing in Dark Souls II.
