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.

Frankly, I've been meaning to jump back onto Hunt: Showdown one of these days. And if you carry a weapon that deals insane amounts of damage at close range and run towards an enemy dodging bullets with your mouse (never sidestep at close range), you're essentially punishing that player with what could be a well timed dodge/parry and front stab. I managed to land some of those and it feels amazing.
As for soulslikes... I'd like to go back to Nioh 2 or Elden Ring, but not yet. I've got a few Deep Rock Galactic sessions pending with a friend, Enshrouded with another 3 and Divinity: Original Sin 2 with my lady.
Makes sense yea :) what's your favourite loadout?
Sounds like a fun time!
I'll try to remember, it's been some time... Depends. I usually ask my team what they're taking and which tasks they've got and adapt. I've enjoyed different combinations such as a sighted Carbine with crossbow, Vetterli with silenced Berthier (I might be misspelling these) or double bow with poison and wire. I usually found most weapons to be fun to use as long as the devs hadn't gone on one of their buff'n'nerf loops.
