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.

The thing which pissed me off was PvP level was tied to your total souls accumulated, not your current level.
Dark Souls II wanted you to spend every soul you've earned, and disregard any meta-level for the sake of PvP matchmaking.
So if you ever got stuck on an area for too long, or grind, you might shoot past other players and never get matched fairly.
Conversely, you might start getting paired with players way above your level.
Yea that was to stop degenerates like myself from becoming level 10 darkwraiths.
For some reason people didn't like that much.
It also dovetails with the hex spells which cost souls per cast, using the forbidden magic literally ruins you. Super cool aesthetically, hated it at the time.
