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.

Pretty much all my favorite weapons are from Bloodborne.
#1 Beast Claws. They are awesome, have built in beast gauge and a whole transformation with the DLC. The same Beast rune massively reduces damage so you can do the jumping attack off big drops in PvP.
#2 Church Pick. I just like this moveset. Nice and simple, good reach. Holy and serrated and it's my safe place.
#3 this one is a throw up between the pizza cutter and gerhman's scythe. Both great range, one is nice and comfy and the other absolutely fucking shreds everything with a strength build.
#4 Kos Parasite. This might be up there even more because it's so unique but getting the blood gems to gear it is a pain in the ass.
#5 good ol trusty saw cleaver. Pretty much mandatory for a BL4 run of the game so you get very, very comfortable with it and it is still one of the best weapons in the game.
Yeah, uh, I love bloodborne weapons. So many honorable mentions that are just so fun: rakuyo, threaded cane, hunter's axe, Simon's bow blade, the boom hammer....I wish we had weapons like that in other fromsoft games. The only weapons that are nearly as fun as Bloodborne's are the weapon movesets in Nioh 2.
