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?

Not sure I'll get around to playing too much this weekend since I'll be at school tomorrow for an open day and have stuff to do for next week. Should I find the time, I'll probably continue my DLC playthrough of Lies of P. Having lots of fun with the new Advance weapons.

I'd probably have to go for dex overall. I like these small and nimble weapons that allow for lots of mobility and flashy moves/combos. However, I've come around to a good bonking every now and then. My DS3 playthrough has largely consisted of using my Ultra Greatsword and a two-handed club. Nevertheless, weapons like the Blades of Mercy from Bloodborne are still king to me.

What about you?

Ayy, you finally got around to it! How much have you played by now? And what's your current favourite weapon?

Aahh..I've not had too much time to play so I just reached the grand exhibition, so not quite in the dlc just yet,(๑_๑//) aand I'm out of town for the weekend so I'll get to it next week and I'll report back next thread :P I'll attempt both the fresh save and the NG2 save so we'll see how that goes :P

But from the base weapons I've been enjoying the bone cutting saw+ dancing sword handle, the wrench + electric coil handle for that lions claw-esque move and also used base str blade +wrench handle... fun fun fun!

Nooo the suspense is killing me T__T

The first one was actually the combo I used for my very first playthrough - takes me back. Probably one of the stronger ones in the game, actually. The others sound fun too. Looking forward to your review next week should you get around to it :)

Yeah I was surprised of how hard it hits! And with the handle it also hits fast! so it cancels the loooong wind up the og saw blade has. I'll probably stick with that till the dlc.
