A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Wow. What an experience.

It wasn't all smooth sailing. I even took a month break thinking I might not come back to it, but boy I'm glad I did.

I'm new to souls like, only having played Elden Ring before this (which was amazing). Sekiro was a game that I picked up afterwards, and struggled with early on. It felt like a departure to everything I'd learned in gaming to this point. You don't want to dodge, you want to deflect. Holding block helps you recover. Parrying will beat a boss quicker than trying to drive down their health. Once these things start to click, defeating bosses feels like a true accomplishment.

Fighting the end game bosses had my heart rate going like no other boss battles I can remember. Elden Ring had some memorable and awe inspiring bosses, but the feeling in Sekiro when you're about to break the posture of a boss for a final deathblow was indescribable.

If there's anyone left who hasn't given Sekiro a go, do yourself a favour. It takes some time for it to click, but when it does, it's something special.

We're quite small in numbers and could use your participation if you're interested in discussing Sekiro.

Here's the link.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !sekiro@lemmy.zip

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

Good bot. Thanks.

Oh I already posted on the Sekiro community as well. Was just trying to test out the cross posting feature.

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yea, I know. I was more so informing others who might not be in the know yet. Thanks for cross-posting. :)

[–] yesterdayshero@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah no worries. Sorry, still getting used to the crosspost stuff, so should have mentioned the Sekiro community.

Dude, no worries at all. The communities are rather small still, so we're bound to run into each other more often than not in communities with similar interests. I can take care of the advertising - not your job. :D

Looking forward to checking out this community! It’s probably my favourite game

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Awesome! Submissions are a tad limited but be the change you want to see in world or something lol

[–] cod@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Definitely! Made a post there (cross-posted from a post I made here). I could say the same to you, feel free to make some posts on patientgamers too!

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks a bunch, will do. Made a post on a different PG instance already, might just cross-post.

[–] cod@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Awesome, looking forward to reading it!

Just posted. :)
