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.
Congratulations! ๐
I still don't think I have it in me to take on Sekiro, though maybe that's partly just head gremlins who knows. The ease with which you've beaten it does make me second guess my hesitation a bit. But maybe the difficulty doesn't need demystifying and you're just a god gamer?
Also your post-credits wine celebration looks so good it's making me falter in my dedication to give up drinking...
Oh, man. I've got to start cracking a bottle of wine when I roll credits on a game. What a wholesome idea! Good on you!
First time I've done this! It felt out of my league for so long, that I had promised myself a "reward" for completing it... T'was mostly a mental block tho!
Congrats dude, not out of proportion you classy bastard.
This is still the best game of all time imo. It goes hard. If you think it wasn't hard enough, you now have gauntlents to try.
It is definitely one for the ages
...Out of proportion? I would have a celebratory glass of wine just for having made time to try again with this game.
Every year or two I dip back in and get curved hard. It's so gutsy and visceral, I love it but I lose my nerve. Part of the problem was using a fuzzy weak projector and I couldn't read anything. But that's an excuse, it's mostly that I get flustered. Even I admit it's a game design masterpiece though!
It's so gutsy and visceral
It certainly can be, a couple of times it felt like I was playing bloodborne! I'd say this game's worth a serious try. Get yourself properly set up, I'll be your personal cheerleader!
I did finally upgrade to a projector that does tolerable resolution and response rates, have been steadily chewing into my backlog ever since. Currently trying to finish AC6 after putting that on hold for a few years as well.
Bloodborne is even deeper in the queue, and I've been admiring it from afar for several years. Same issue, I've always been more facile with slower or more forgiving From titles.
Congratulations! Now, onto Platinum! You can do it.
I am indeed a sucker for trophies.
