Druid[Discussion] Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend and what would you like a potential second DLC for Elden Ring to be about?
CoelacanthProbably will play some more Rise of the Ronin. I caved and bought two games during the recent sale that I am very keen on, but I should make an effort to finish games before getting sidetracked. I might crumble though, we’ll see. One of them is a Soulslike and the other has Soulslike-ish combat, so they might be of more interest to this sub than Ronin. But one thing at a time I guess.
Can’t really give any input on Elden Ring DLCs unfortunately as I haven’t even played Shadow of the Erdteee.
How far along are you in Rise of the Ronin? Seems like you’ve picking away at the game for quite a while now.
What are the games you got? Can’t just drop that and not share what you’re playing :D
I am in the third and final major area of Ronin, after this is a return to the Edo area for the finale of the game as I understand it. I’ve played a ton of it but the game is really long, especially if you not only 100% the areas but also spend some time just fighting bosses for fun in the dojo. This last week I’ve played less of it though as I was hit a bit by open world fatigue, so I took a break and checked out the Out Fishing demo and played through INMOST finally (which was super good).
Well, I want to build suspense you know! I like talking about games so I don’t want to blow my load early! But as a little bit of a teaser I bought Withering Rooms and Death Howl.
I hear you, especially the part about open-world fatigue as we’ve also talked about at some point iirc. Good on you for squeezing every bit of game out of it tho! Unless you’re not enjoying your time, that is.
Alright alright, I’ll let you cook :D I’ve played Death Howl for a couple hours and enjoyed my time quite a bit, actually. It was a little difficult at times, so I didn’t pick it back up again, but it’s a really good combination of games I’ve played before and loved. It’s like a mix of Inscryption, Dark Souls, and Into the Breach: quite a wild mix, but it works! Haven’t heard of Withering Rooms before, though. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts if that was your plan. :)
Death Howl looks amazing but hearing it’s that hard makes me little hesitant. I’ve also heard that it can be a little grindy. But it looks like such a wonderful work of art that I couldn’t resist buying it. I hope I can manage.
Withering Rooms is a game I’ve had my eye on for ages but have been trying to wait for a deep sale on. But it has never been below 20% and so when it was 30% off just now I finally snapped. I’ve heard some really amazing things about it, it has some dodge-based combat that should appeal to souls fans, as should the vibe and storytelling. And I didn’t want to keep postponing it because the sequel is supposed to come out later this year so it would be nice to play through it before then.
