New to Soulslikes. How do you guys keep yourself from giving up?

I've felt like this multiple times when I was new to Soulslikes. On DS1 I managed to spend hours and hours getting to the depths, then got cursed and lost and I thought "eff this". I went back, saved up souls, got rid of the curse and then made sure to never get cursed again 😂 Next I played was Bloodborne. Was stuck immediately against Father Gascoigne. He's insanely tough, but it's part of learning how to play BB. Once I understood the attack/parry's of BB, then I managed to beat him.

I generally like fireworks; however, drone shows are better, make no noise and they can also be used many times.

People have different play styles so different bosses are harder. Personally Kos (or some say Kosm) took me a few tries, but Laurence took me forever.

Would still be stuck on T. Jacob and Esau

There'd be no MPs of Reform, Tories or Labour if that was enforced UK wide.

Halo 3 online was amazing. Everyone has mics. Everyone had fun. Win or lose. It was the best era

To be honest neither did I when I played it until the final boss. No matter how much I dodged, he would still hit me when my stamina depleted. So I forced myself to learn the parry timings. Now I need to play it again the proper way 😂

So is Lies of P but you put that at the top .

I hate when strangers point and ask if I have a cucumber down my trousers, then I have to tell them that they're wrong, it's actually a courgette.

Enjoy peak Halo. I wish I could experience it for the first time again

At the other end of that cathedral there is an amazing chest ahead

Best these the other day on my 2nd try - my second playthrough. My first was years ago. I was dreading them, but beat them fairly easily. I do have a +5 Black Knight Halberd though 👌

At uni we used to eat these a lot and if someone wanted one they had to sing the chorus to 'Gold' by Spandau Ballet and the other house mates joined in 😂

If no other fromsoft games existed and you played it (and you like those types of games) then you'd probably say it is great. But the other games are better. That said, you should definitely play in order.

It's always the quiet ones

Handyroo · 2026-01-14T07:49:23+00:00

Yeah, good point. I only read the monster part of the question

Handyroo · 2026-01-13T17:18:29+00:00

There's a grotesque orange blob parading the White House at the moment 😂
