Should have tried finger, but hole.
A fitting thing to be the top comment on a post like this, but the other guy's version on the earlier post was so much better.
An almost theatrical performance, felt like I was really there seeing the journalist try it. Actively coming to the realization that it was not a useful strategy. I have no link, I can only relay my recollection as tribute to the original verbiage I enjoyed so much.
I love ER's messaging system, feels far more complex and expressive than in other installments!
I have a thing for leaving cryptically poetic messages which (I hope) click just at the last second, an "a-ha!" type thing. Also, the emotes are deliciously theatrical!
The ones that you only realise were helpful in hindsight are the best. Completely useless, but at least they're something.
Ah, my hope is that they snap into place slightly before they are rendered useless:))
After a 20 hour binge, I was stuck thinking in elden ring message speak and it was hilarious
That is a simultaneously remarkable and frightening amount of time!
I've never likes the multi-player aspects of soulslikes. I tried ER as intended for a bit, but I swapped to offline a few hours in. The messages can be helpful, and are often funny, but I just find it messy and busy, and like the more quiet experience without.
I like the online part just fine, but it feels like a completely different game. When I play offline, it's like I'm in the world of the Lands Between. I'm myself on an epic quest, even though I have a meme name and a meme face. When playing online it's like I'm playing a video game where my character does things.
I usually prefer to play offline, even though I like the online parts.
And I love playing seamless coop with a friend, it's like going on an epic quest together.
That's perfectly fine. The online component is entirely opional after all and if you're not into co-op play or invasions, you're fine just playing offline in favour of not seeing messages
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.
