it will be either peak fun, or complete garbage

enjoyable record

I think more about the idea and influence. It was the first souls game to become a mainstream in some sort, and an all-time classic. I personally consider DS3 a better game, but it took the old formula and perfected it (mostly). For the same reason, i’d pick GTA Vice City over GTA V, but I’m not a big fan of the franchise tbh

2021 was a year of the extreme FromSoft hype. Sekiro recently won GOTY, the whole community was excited for the upcoming Elden Ring. So it’s understandable that a soulslike won the trophy, even though most of the games from the list deserve it. If they repeat this nomination in 5-10-15 years, it might be a different game from exact this list—depending on what genre will be trending

if only…

many devs forget that souls-likes are about exploring as much as about bossfights

Sounds like a wonderful time! I played it couple years ago, and then convinced my wife to try, and she enjoyed it a lot as well. Have fun and be careful not to spoil anything—approaching the game blindly is a special kind of fun

Doesn’t he succeed btw?

Is it your first playthrough?

please elaborate

yeah, it was not obvious. thanks

ah, okay

what? i have a steam version, and when i loaded it (last time couple months ago), game said i cannot play online on linux. has something change?

After switching to Linux I felt so disappointed finding out they stopped Linux support

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

when it finally clicked, and now feels like a rhythm game, so you fight with a nobody over nothing in the end of the world

I’ve heard an interesting observation that fromsoft difficulty becomes more artificial, unfortunately. DS3 was hard, because it became faster, but you could rely on the animations to dodge the attacks in most bossfights. But the hardest ER bosses are different. You have to try and trial strategies not for the boss in general, but for a specific attacks. There’s no way you can dodge waterfowl dance or PCR’s clones attack naturally. You will die/take damage a lot without even understanding what are you doing wrong

cool, didnt know about this nuance. based JSON license by the way.

I’m wondering, is it possible to include that restriction in public license for the software mastodon?
