This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".
Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.
Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:
[BB] This enemy is so difficult!
or
[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.
Lol @ dark souls 2 being entirely carried by dark souls. Honestly I think ds2 was like an 8/10 game overall but ds1 was like 25/10 and it made ds2 look like hot garbage in comparison. Also let's be honest about demons souls... I loved that game to death but it was clunky and ugly on the ps3 lol.
For whatever reason, I played the PS3 version for the first time when the remake came out. It was fun, but you are so right.
I don't get it? I haven't played demon souls or bloodborne but have beat the rest multiple times
It's just a take on that unfinished horse drawing meme, saying that the games all rock.
Usually there are some bad parts, like in this one for Game of Thrones:
Ah! Ty! I would just say elden ring was the low point for me. Not terrible, just not great. But im also kind of weird because i loved DS2.
It was definitely a departure from the more linear, curated experience. I enjoyed it a lot, but I'm very ready for another linear FromSoft game with less travel and more boss time.
I honestly much preferred ER on a first playthrough, but unlike other souls games (where I had more fun on subsequent playthroughs with different builds) the game got worse during subsequent playthroughs by a substantial margin. The open world started feeling more like a chore than a journey
ER wasn't for me, either.
