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.

Are you used to taking notes in video games? I feel like it's kind of a relic of the past where you had to take notes because information about games was few and far between and usually reserved to magazines and stuff, so I haven't had to take notes ever. I think it could be quite rewarding if you're patient enough
I've done it before for a few games where I want to remember to do stuff, and I know it's not for everyone, but I do find it pretty rewarding. I've never regretted having a random notepad around to jot down something that I was thinking about.
I think the first time might have been Final Fantasy 1 on NES (played on the Wii emulator, whatever year that would've been). It deepens the experience for me and makes me pay more attention to dialogue and hints in the game.
It's already funny to go back to my notes from my blind run of Elden Ring and see my thought process.
I can imagine it's rewarding - sounds cool!
Maybe your notes would be worth a post here sometime? Sounds pretty cool
Haha, maybe... I'm not sure if anyone but me can read my cursive.
