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.

I dont think I'm burned out of the game, but kinda burned out by the main communities I interacted with. I played a lot of coop with 2 other people, too. We would just run through each others games or run chalice dungeons on mics, like Bloodborne buddies, every single night, for months?
A lot of hours helping people defeat chalice dungeons for the platinum. Cursed Amygdala is ridiculously hard, and a lot of people are just rushing through the story dungeons for the plat.
But there are 26 weapons in the game and ive done at least one full play through with each, except the Amygdala arm. So one more to go. Each weapon is so unique, it is like a completely different game.
Since theres no respec in Bloodborne, I'd make different characters with different builds. I'd keep ones that I liked the design and drip, and then not really level them beyond 120-140 since that was the PvP meta cap. I have all ten slots filled with characters, each one has at least two full play throughs, I think 2 of them that are over ng7. Ive deleted several, I'd estimate at least 12, many of those with full play through.
I really like playing souls games from the beginning, it feels like the full experience. So I like starting over with a new character. I fire it up around Halloween every year. Idk if
That was the weapon with which I beat my first playthrough! I love that weapon, especially its design.
Any reason you haven't done a playthrough with it yet? Just haven't gotten around to it yet? Or any specific dislikes of that weapon?
Honestly just haven't gotten to it. Every weapon is viable, some of them aren't great and they tend to be the big clunky weapons like the kirkhammer. Although a pure bolt kirkhammer is pretty funny the way it massacres certain bosses.
I just never had a str+arc character until like last year when I got the game out around Halloween. I did a run through with the Tonitrus, which is way stronger than I ever thought even if the moveset is kinda mid. Then I did the boomhammer, similar move set and kinda underwhelming wrt it's damage and again kind of a one trick pony in its moveset. Amy arm would def be next but i haven't picked the game up since.
