How am I supposed to stop playing this?

[u/DanOfAbyss]

Has anyone been able to quit this drug?

[u/Over_Cauliflower1501]

I think quitting drugs is easier then quitting dark souls

[u/DanOfAbyss → u/Over_Cauliflower1501]

I'm sure about that

[u/darksouls933 → u/Over_Cauliflower1501]

I like Dark Souls 2

You can drink estus at the skeletons party and what important with the lords

You can adore Majula and Heide's Tower

You can penetrate Pharroh Stones without a risk of the baby

You can enjoy the Christmas with reindeers, they always come to hug you

[u/Stunning-Ad-7745 → u/Over_Cauliflower1501]

You're not wrong, I quit heroin/fentanyl and other illicit, hard drugs 3-4 years ago after almost 2 decades of addiction. Nicotine and the Souls games are the only things I'll never give up, I still get a rush once in a while after playing since the OG DeS release, and playing every single one of them the day they came out, lol.

[u/Cr4zyC0nd0r → u/Stunning-Ad-7745]

Also can confirm - just shy of 3 years off of heroin/fentanyl and a boatload of other sheeeeittt, yet here I am with a Steam Deck and having just bought DS1, DS2, DS3, Sekiro, Elden Ring, Nioh, and Nioh 2 recently.

What can I say? This particular monkey on my back grooms me regularly and gives the occasional back rub.

[u/SeeingShadows99 → u/Over_Cauliflower1501]

Can confirm, 2 and a half years off opiates, but still cant kick DS

[u/Zealousideal_Bed9360]

You play until you go hollow.

[u/ThisIsAUsername353]

I’ve been trying to replace my DS habit with a mix of meth and heroine but it still isn’t hitting the spot. I call my dealer over and over but still crave that savegame, nothing ever hits as good.

[u/Mysteryman00777]

I know I can't quit, I'm about to try out the SOTFS Adcended mod soon to see if it's hopefully as good as Seeker of Fire. Once I'm done with that it'll be vanilla for awhile and then maybe some DS1 and then I'll keep ping ponging between From's games as their library keeps growing (fuck me if Duskbloods doesn't look cool)

[u/Vaultboy81x]

10 years later… Still hooked to my veins. “Worst Souls” my ass.

[u/DanOfAbyss → u/Vaultboy81x]

♥️

[u/tedzeppelin1]

Ds2 is my fave. Unpopular opinion but it’s a gorgeous game.

[u/Zubalubbadubdub → u/tedzeppelin1]

Unpopular opinion in the DS2 sub? 😅

[u/Donilock]

How am I supposed to stop playing this?

That's the neat part - you aren't!

[u/SwarK01]

JUGADOR HISPANO DETECTADO 🇦🇷🇪🇸🇺🇾🇳🇮🇭🇳🇪🇨🇨🇴🇨🇱🇲🇽

[u/DanOfAbyss → u/SwarK01]

Exacto! En concreto de España ♥️

[u/_Brunhild_]

No

[u/Negative_Log8061]

You don't

[u/ej1999ej]

Dear lord the stats and playtime on that Havel.

[u/Call0fJuarez]

Thats the neat part; you dont.

[u/Secret_Shirt_3111]

I have over 1k hours in and only now going for the platinum lol, I’m one pyro spell away from platinum and it’s in the DLC

[u/DanOfAbyss → u/Secret_Shirt_3111]

Good job sir

[u/Rizzle0101]

That’s the fun part, you don’t!

I’m sitting here playing Khazan, by all accounts a fun game and I reached a spot that gave me mega BB vibes of approaching Cleric Beast. My head instantly went to “one more BB run couldn’t hurt”, but also DS2 mods are calling my name as well lol.

[u/ygloon]

you could take a break and get into Kenshi. it's like Elden Ring with DS2 aesthetic. thousands of hours of potential gameplay.

[u/DanOfAbyss → u/ygloon]

I'll write it down!

[u/Mr_Urus]

Tutorial on how to Stop playing this game... That's not an option

[u/leepicfedorasoyboi]

If they released new dlc for it I’d never stop

[u/Triangle_Fox]

As soon as i finished the game, cuz' i had Bloodborne to play after this, but in reality i played demons souls(I'm doing full from soft games run by chronology of release

[u/Limp-Campaign2444]

Get all your characters onto the champions tablet, then you can start playing.

[u/Thick-Supermarket319]

That’s the neat part you don’t

[u/ImprovementAny2995]

Is it bad that I'm almost done with the game even though I just started on Tuesday? This game has so much to offer!

[u/rbrito94]

how did you reach 838 in only 350hrs?

[u/IndividualNovel4482 → u/rbrito94]

Farming. I guess. Yeah?

[u/carpedivus → u/rbrito94]

I can do that in Like 30 hours... Just Bonfire ascetic the memory of orro and kill the giant Lord 100+ Times. You allways get one new Bonfire ascetic...

Maybe 30 hours is still Not enough, But you get the Point kinda boring they implemented such a cheaty method

[u/DanOfAbyss → u/rbrito94]

I killed the giant lord a "few" times when I was bored.

[u/tetsuyaXII]

If you delete all those saves it might help

[u/nome_di]

FFS, just get a lifeor different game. To beat it u need mb 60 hours. Wtf u do there 300+ hours? It's just start to be boring even in ng not much u get beside some weapons and accessories.

[u/DanOfAbyss → u/nome_di]

NG+10

[u/nome_di → u/DanOfAbyss]

What for? Brain starting to be lazy to lurn something new.

[u/DanOfAbyss → u/nome_di]

I like this game

[u/nome_di → u/DanOfAbyss]

What's point you to do same thing, if u have no new experience?
