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.
Disregarding lack of time, that is. Is there any particular mechanic you were not fond of? Was a game too difficult for you? Was it the overall enjoyment of the game?
Pic totally unrelated :]
Lords of the Fallen (remake) just felt a little too floaty to me. I might have ended up liking the game if I gave it more of a shot, but the very first boss was enough for me already. Maybe I'll get back to it at some point, but I doubt it
Dark Souls 2,3, and Bloodborne.
I'm just not good enough.
I had 20-30 hours into each one, and just wasn't making progress. Even if you're enjoying the story, not being able to progress just kinda sucks.
Would difficulty options help you give it another try? It's a very divicive (?) topic, and I feel like it'd bring more good than bad to the genre
I honestly don't know. I don't know if I would try them again, but a new game that was similar concepts and story, but had difficulty levels that allowed me to progress--despite generally sucking--might keep me playing it.
