wow you’re so grimdark, cool story gamer 
i get it i’m bad at them too
Anything anyone likes is bad
Pretty sure you meant to put this in bad posting. There there, you’ll git gud eventually.
I love nearly all the games. I hate every one of the players
Melina, is that you?
Soulsborne games clarify to me how much of my ability to enjoy stuff is tied to mental association.
I have never been able to give the genre a fair shake because I will forever associate it in my brain with annoying internet freaks being needlessly and aggressively elitist about them. I feel like I would probably like them a lot if I didn’t associate the very concept of them with types of people I dislike.
At least I already liked Armored Core and Tenchu before anybody could fuck it up for me.
: (
Maybe give Sekiro a try? It’s not not ac6’s frantic flying around combined with Tenchu’s fun ninja toys. I
I was the same way. I fucking despise the “git gud” attitude and decided that I would never be able to enjoy the genre that gave rise to that phrase. But I ended up playing a game I didn’t even realize was a soulslike until after I became addicted to it. Ever since I’ve been fascinated by the way that kind of game with that set of mechanics can really hook a person in to the world and into learning and developing the strategy needed to further uncover it.
I don’t like any souls game including Elden Ring, but I LOVE sekiro
Ever play Otogi?
No. Wuzzat?
Otogi and Otogi 2 are Fromsoft’s Xbox proto-Sekiro-likes, hack n slashy ancient Japan type beat games. Sekiro is secretly Otogi 3 :>
Cool!
They playable these days without an Xbox?
Based on the screenshots, it really looks a lot more like onimusha
Dunno offhand, there is both CXBX-R (easy to setup) and XEmu, (harder to set up) I have had luck running Jet Set Radio Future myself so maybe?
I am a souls fan in general but Sekiro is GOAT. Takes me back to the old classic Tenchu games
Sekiro pissed me off because I thought it was going to be a Tenchu game when they first showed it lol
Yeah, it got marketed as a spiritual successor to tenchu but it’s not at all.
I think the flashback area (where you fight lady butterfly and owl father) is kind of reminiscent of tenchu because it’s just a Japanese town that you can stealth around and navigate at your discretion. But that’s really it.
haha ah classic, the good old badposting channel. always good for a hearty friggin laugh XD
Cool bait
Yet baiting attacks is a core tactic in soulslikes. Curious…
:curious
Counterpoint: no
I only ever played the first Dark Souls and it was so ass I legitimately thought I had been sold the wrong game for the first like 2 hours, then I never tried any other soulslike games. I love challenging games, even unfair ones, but that shit was just boring as hell. I assume they’re not all bad though.
The first soulslike I played was Salt and Sacrifice and it won me over to the genre which beforehand I had decided would be too frustrating. Unlike most soulslikes, Salt & Sanctuary is 2D, so maybe consider giving that one a try if 2D games tend to be more along the lines of what you like. I’m guessing that might be the case considering you made one! Also for that reason, it might be worth noting that Salt & Sanctuary was a labor of love made entirely by only 2 people. Make sure it’s Salt & Sanctuary you’re getting because they did end up putting out a sequel, which I haven’t played yet but understand it to be more like Monster Hunter than a soulslike, called Salt & Sacrifice.
Yeah, I don’t get the appeal
Can we get a moratorium on these bait posts? They’re boring and repetitive
They’re boring and repetitive
Kinda like something else mentioned in the post
