Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes
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.

my position is that if you're looking up the strongest strats and op builds, then working through a grocery list, you are seriously harming your ability to enjoy soulslikes.
exploring, experimenting, and adapting is like half the fun of the game.
Good points and I agree.
A suggestion for any new player is to stay away from walkthroughs or meta builds. Even if you think you’ll only do one playthrough making it your own offers more fun and satisfaction in my experience.
My position is that anyone using handicaps is a scrub that can't handle the raw power of a true build. Not my fault your crappy build needs 90 minutes and hundreds of attempts to figure out every boss pattern, while my chad optimized summoner doesn't need to waste time on pointless endeavors.
I agree except DS2 adp. People need to know about that shit lol
