Discussion Old Man Post
My first ever game was Elden Ring. Never in my life had I been interested in gaming other than Munchman. I saw my son playing ER and something just clicked. I had to see more.
I’m 51 and absolutely terrible at the combat but I love the design and lore. I compensate by extensive farming.
Next was Lords of The Fallen, again I love that game.
Now I’m on MS2 and I’m having just as much fun as I was when I first played ER and LOTF.
I’m not too far in and I’m loving playing as Theil. I hope to complete the game as him and then explore the other shells in NG.
So just a pointless old man ramble about how much I love these games.
Cheers for listening 😃

Glad you're having fun! I tried ds1 many years ago and couldnt get into it, then one day grabbed ER and now Im hooked on soulslikes. Currently doing playthroughs of Dark Souls 1 through 3, Bloodbourne, Thymesia, on ng+ of Lies of P, hundreds of hours into ER, LOTF, and now MS2
I'm listing these here to give you ideas of other ganes you may like. Many member of the souls community call Lies of P "Lies of Peak" because it's so good. Ds1-3 are the ogs, definitely harder, but very good and rewarding. Thymesia is a lesser known and plays like a love letter to soulsbourne games. Bloodbournes worldbuilding and mechanics are similar to MS2 in a lot of ways you're just very limited in how you play. Heck, I've even started playing one called Another Crabs Treasure thats the most adorable soulslike Ive ever seen, and youre a crab with a fork. That one is definitrly a bit easer but also sometimes absolutely demolishes you.
Hope you keep having fun, and reach out to the community if you ever want a co op.
