Func_Msgboard: SOULSLIKES!!!

Posted by Shambler on 2016/04/15 15:40:23

Edited thread to cover all soulslikes including but not limited to:

Demon Souls
Demon Souls Remake
Dark Souls 1
Dark Souls 2
Dark Souls 3
Bloodborne
Nioh
Nioh 2
The Surge
The Surge 2
Sekiro
Jedi Fallen Order (soulslite)
Remnant
Mortal Shell

Part shameless self-indulgence, part recognition that a few #funcers are very hyped for this. I think maybe we should have more distinct threads for hyped releases (like the Doom4 one), should have done it for FO4 and W3 too. Not sure what's next? Dishonoured2? Deus Ex5? Anyway...

So, DS series, you know the score, console-oriented, 3rd person, very dark fantasy, malevolently-situated, uber-difficult RPG. Convoluted layouts, ominous and gritty atmosphere, sporadic save points, respawning enemies, ludicruous boss battles, and legions of dedicated fanboys who spend hundreds of hours learning the combat mechanisms and then discredit any of their passion and promotion of the game by waving their inflated e-penii around and waffling on about "git gud" and other such cretinisms.

DSIII has perhaps the broadest appeal as it has apparently a proper and full PC version and combines the methodical gameplay of earlier DS games with the faster action of BB. Such hype, so wow, so discuss....

Edit: As czg has wisely pointed out, also a useful thread for tips / tricks / tweaks / spoilers / questions / answers / etcs

Play Quake

Playing DS (DS 1 at least) will actually make you a better quake mapper. HTH. (re: map design, not gameplay)

A Kinn screenshot for 2016?

I've put on a bit of weight recently so I might post a cheeky duckface from Vegas 2014 and pretend it's current - let's be honest, we've all done it.

Phwoar Kinn Duckface.

#109 posted by Shambler on 2016/08/27 11:11:31

Wanking already in anticipation.

Yay, DLC! Winter stuff looks ace. They show a lot of bosses from the main game in that tho? As usual fuck bosses, but PSYCHED for the rest.

The Bosses Will Return As Regular Enemies.

Can't wait to see Shambler's reaction when he reaches the Dancer horde fight.

Fuck Your Face!!

#111 posted by Shambler on 2016/08/27 12:55:23

Gonna coop them all this time. As good as a cheat code.

Lol

#112 posted by DaZ on 2016/08/27 15:18:54

The huge warrior dude with the axe looks sick, as do the wolf packs.

Can't wait to see the new painted world, that area was one of the best in DS1 (From software continuing their trend of putting the BEST areas of their games hidden in secrets!)

I think From don't like to spoil too many of the bosses and areas in trailers which is why they recycle some old footage in them. They did the same in some old trailers according to knowledgeable yt folks.

Just Started

Just got to the second bonfire in the lorthic wall area.

First impression is that it feels like a mix between Dark Souls 2 and Demon's Souls which is fine by me! I already have uttered the internal mantra: "There HAS to be a bonfire around the corner...come on!" already and that brings back fond (nightmares) memories of the earlier Souls games. My one and only death so far was from naked katana man near the start area.

Disappointed by the lack of 21:9 support and the third party plugin to fix that presents other issues. Oh well, looking forward to getting lost this weekend!

Naked Katana Man.

Is a dick.

He does drop a pretty good weapon, though (if you're thinking about going for a dex build).
