I still think DS2 ist the best Dark Souls and I know everyone will disagree with me.
But the slower pace and the durability mechanic just scratched an itch for me all the others don't.
Elden Ring is still my favorite but I kinda want a DS 2 2 ๐

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?

Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

I loved DS2 and put it at the top with DS3.
Elden ring is my least fav. I guess I'm going right. Which i guess is good because I've really only scratched the surface of bloodborne.
How you gonna put Sekiro and Bloodborne in the same boar and not have people choose it?
Here's the neat part - you don't
Right, no hesitation. Sekiro and BB are my top 2, and the whole package has so much more variety thematically.
hesitation is defeat, one might say
for me it's easy second. two of my favorite FS games and one title i really wanna play some day when they remaster it for PC, or i give up and install the emulator
Left, but I'll cry about Sekiro.
Very respectable
Had to put DS2 with the 2 GOATs I see.
Left of course! Ds 2 twice is always nice. And I guess Elden Ring too.
What's better than Peak Souls 2 than Peak Souls 2: 2
Left side, because I love DS2 and like Elden Ring.
Right side has DS3 which is a tie for fave. I haven't played Bloodborne. I'm around halfway through Sekiro and enjoying it, but not enough to rank it over DS2 and DS3.
Sekiro is quite different and also scratches a different itch for me. I haven't played much Dark Souls, so Sekiro probably resonates a little more with me personally.
Where are you in Sekiro right now?
Beat Genichiro and Folding Screen Monkeys yesterday, now I'm at Guardian Ape. I like how he farts and slings poop.
