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.

Played Dark Souls 1 after a friend recommended it, INT+DEX Magic Build.
Got to Blighttown, took me forever to beat the Capra Demon.
Load up the game next time, save corrupted.
Whatever, I think. Dark Souls is all about failing and trying again. I make a new character, and since I know the game a little better this time I level her more efficiently.
Get halfway through Blighttown, put the game down.
When I return, save file corrupted.
Now I'm pissed, and I'm not letting Dark Souls beat me in this low-down, dirty fashion.
I figure out that it's enabling online mode that may be causing the save corruption
So I start the game again, grind a little for souls. Book it to Darkroot Basin, whip that little fucking dickhead Black Knight's ass, firebomb the Hydra, spend 20 minutes rollsoulsing the Golem that contains Dusk and get my magic buff items.
Honestly, I felt satisfied. It was annoying to lose all my progress, but it really made me git gud.
That third run, I was at level 5 doing more damage than my level 20 the previous run. That build steamrolled Ornstein and Smough on the first try.
And now I'm unable to beat Four Kings, for some reason.
I feel like I've had a very unorthodox playthrough of DS1 so far.
Honestly this sounds amazing. It's your origin story and will lead you to many more adventures, I feel like
Yeah, as soon as my save corrupted I realized it was the ultimate "YOU DIED" and I didn't deserve to play Dark Souls if I couldn't git gud from there.
