I mean a really small change.

For example: Have Fist Weapons in Dark Souls 1 do double damage. That's a small change, which could be implemented by changing a couple of values. A big change would be: Adding the sixth Archstone in Demon's Souls with the Northern Limit area. That's a big change, and it would take a team a couple of weeks to implement, but that's not what this post is about. I'm talking about really small changes that could be implemented in a lazy afternoon or two.

If I could only make one change to BB, it would be too add some way of punishing gun spam in PVP.

Maybe after firing a gun, you have to do a brief reload animation before you can fire again. The window would be small but still long enough that someone could counterattack, like how crossbows already work in a lot of souls games. The reload animation itself could even be parryable, so there's a bit of risk/reward in when you decide to reload.

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!

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
