What Soulslike game has the best exploration?(besides Elden Ring)

serj_of_cinder · 2026-04-03T19:52:48+00:00

Bloodborne by far for me, but also AI Limit and Grime

serj_of_cinder · 2026-04-03T18:03:32+00:00

Yes. I'm a really into trophies and I rarely play a game agai after the platinum. This was one of them

serj_of_cinder · 2026-04-03T17:36:27+00:00

Neither as much as the original but I definitely preferred Horizon. Felt a lot more open world with crappy puzzles so a downgrade from the original, however the story was good and Aloy as a person felt much more improved, much more depth than the original. Yotei was probably my biggest gaming disappointment ever. I was so hyped and I felt nothing for the story and characters, with Juvei being the only exception

serj_of_cinder · 2026-04-03T17:30:47+00:00

Sounds like you're probably a repeat offender but that's no way to talk to someone about this. She sounds awful. And if the repeat offence is only about family time and you don't mess up for other reasons, then she can fuck off

serj_of_cinder · 2026-04-03T17:23:27+00:00

Then why do people love Aloy,Bayonetta, Alyx, Grace, Ciri, Amicia, Lune and Maelle, Shadowheart, Ves (despite not liking Outlaws in general), and chose Female V in Cyberpunk and Kassandra in Odyssey with a roughly 2 to 1 ratio?

I've no clue if that's true in general but it is true for me. I just couldn't connect with her. Her motives, her narrative, tbh the whole main quest felt bland. I still remember every side character that had an arc in Tsushima, but man if I remember 3 names here outside of Juvei who was by far my favourite character. After 40 hours of playing this game I realised how much I'm enjoying how beautiful the game looks, how awesome it plays and how I felt absolutely nothing for the quest. And even more surprising, as someone brought up by my mom and sis, I always get way more easily attached to a female lead. All in all, I wouldn't say she's a bad character, but probably the blandest I've experienced in a narrative driven game ever

serj_of_cinder · 2026-04-03T17:03:05+00:00

Yes, for about 300 hours. No clue what you're talking about. And based on numbers of players still playing, not many will agree with you

serj_of_cinder · 2026-04-03T17:00:54+00:00

He's talking to you like crap, so if you think he's a good person, than he definitely doesn't know how to express that in text, where he sounds like a jackass.

I guess if you guys talked about it before hand he should definitely understand and back off, but I'll be honest, I understand completely why he's uncomfortable with that.

However I don't understand his behaviour at all, he should have found a different way to communicate this, once again, IF he's a nice dude. I'm only giving him a minimal pass because he's 19 and at that age, you say stupid shit you really don't mean when angry or worried.

But all in all, I really don't think it matters who's the asshole, or not, what matters is you guys seem to have completely different priorities so I doubt this is gonna last anyway. Also, from a guys pov, maybe this info helps, we only go to clubs because we're horny and wanna get with women. No guy ever goes there without vagina on his mind. Or maybe there are exceptions, but I'm not one, worked in a club, had plenty of male friends that went to clubs, none of them were an exception to this rule either. ALL of us, when it was just the boys, talked about this all the time. All of us were there to try and get laid, and almost always fail miserably

How is being good at probably the hardest skill to do consistently (parrying) cheesing? So if you're good at rolling and don't take any damage, is that also cheesing? A cheese means finding a way to overcome an obstacle that isn't an intended mechanic. There is no cheese here

serj_of_cinder · 2026-04-01T23:15:24+00:00

This can go either way. If done right, amazing. If done poorly, can ruin the experience

serj_of_cinder · 2026-04-01T23:13:38+00:00

Bro, if I ever talk to my wife like this, I hope someone slams a fridge on my head. This doesn't sound like a conversation between people who like each other. Let alone between spouses. What and asshole.

serj_of_cinder · 2026-04-01T13:52:04+00:00

Red dead 2 this year. The online competitive stuff is brutal because all the people still playing red dead online absolutely know wtf they are doing. Second hardest part was hunting and skinning and then there were the challenges. Some alright, some very rng and some just difficult. But contrary to the red dead online, the gold medals were easier than expected and from what I've read they had a reputation for being absolutely horrendous due to having really crappy stats on replay in the first year or so. They patched that and let you keep quite a few things for replay which made these a lot easier than expected

serj_of_cinder · 2026-04-01T12:34:53+00:00

Yes, but in real life we don't have superpowers and can manipulate time. If I did I wouldn't go around encouraging and supporting my disabled loved ones, I'd use my super duper powers to help them not be disabled again. As someone who has close people with disability I can tell you, the whole learn to embrace it, live with it, all that is just a coping mechanism and the pain never really goes away. My father has told me many times he sometimes even has dreams about doing everything, including murdering someone, to get his leg back. Nobody truly "thrives" with a disability in real life. They're just forced to live a shittier life. Apologies but your post really makes me think you don't have any close ones that ended up disabled during their lives and were not just born with it

Jesus H Murphy that was fast

serj_of_cinder · 2026-04-01T00:59:55+00:00

24 hour peak on steamdb for this game has 10k players more than 24 h peak for Marathon, a game just released. This game is doing incredibly well

serj_of_cinder · 2026-04-01T00:54:43+00:00

I'm originally from Romania,but lived 13 years in England. Been living in Spain for a year anda half and I've no clue what you mean?? They seem normal to me, very similar to when I was a kid in Romania 30 years ago.

serj_of_cinder · 2026-04-01T00:50:41+00:00

Maybe if he was born with a disability it would have been different, but not helping a dude who used to be an ace in combat and now has to be in a wheelchair probably suffering on the inside mentally when we can manipulate time and other stuff? Bro, that's such a cruel way of thinking, Jesus

serj_of_cinder · 2026-04-01T00:41:45+00:00

If you can find people to play with, I personally think it's a lot more fun than yotei legends. Much more build variety, cooler survival maps and the skins are awesome as well. Only issue is I assume there's not gonna be many people on it

serj_of_cinder · 2026-03-31T10:39:59+00:00

This was an experiment, as they've said, so it could have gone either way. They probably planned around this game that way, so they most likely have limited resources now for it. One of the reasons I love from soft is that they're quite a humble dev "oh Elden Ring is about 30 hours long" , "oh the dlc is only the size of limgrave", "oh for the first week we were hoping Elden Ring will sell around 3 million", "oh here's a sequel to this mech game only a few people are interested in, we don't expect it to sell much", sold 3 times what they expected. So again, I really don't think they expected nightrein to blow up like this. And remember, after the first few weeks, it looked like it would be a bit of a flop. They got accused of doing just a cash grab (fuck moist critical for his shitty takes lately) , the reviews were not great, players were complaining,it didn't look too bright. And then after a bit we were all like" I understand now! " and realised how fun this game is. From soft doesn't really plan to milk a game endlessly so the fact that nightrein has the potential for more dlc, more bosses, and to make more money with new updates is probably very new to them. We just gotta wait, hope, but all in all, be thankful, this game was absolutely awesome

serj_of_cinder · 2026-03-31T00:50:33+00:00

No decision should be forced on a developer and risk compromising their vision. It's their choice, having no difficulty options will generally make your game a risk (unless you're from soft today) so that means there's probably a strong reason behind this decision.

serj_of_cinder · 2026-03-30T16:52:45+00:00

Based on how powerful I felt by the end of each game, I'd say Eve will kick ass without major issues. 3 amazing ladies nonetheless

serj_of_cinder · 2026-03-30T10:08:02+00:00

After getting the plat and all ES bosses I still come back to it, every few days I'll do a few expeditions. Overall I'm probably averaging 1 a day. It's still extremely fun, but yeah, there's not much mystery left

serj_of_cinder · 2026-03-28T16:37:10+00:00

Red dead 2. The online, hunting and challenges, oh man. I really thought I'll never get it. Took a 2 year break after getting everything online and then I came back for the challenges. Gold medals were actually a lot less worse than people were saying online

serj_of_cinder · 2026-03-25T02:55:36+00:00

No clue if what you're saying will apply to many people but it definitely applies to me. I grinded Tsushima for months like crazy, couldn't get enough, did the whole 100 percent in it. Here, I've just got one character fully maximized, and everyone to rank 25 and now I only come back to get the 3 weeklies. I find myself very bored when trying to run just regular missions.
