    Yes, it’s a peaceful life. It sucks when i finally can sit down in the evening and start up a game and then getting insta killed by teenager who has nothing to than practice all day.

    Or team based PvE games where it’s just trying to keep up with the speedrunners farming.

    In addition getting 30 min of uninterrupted time can be a luxury, so pause feature is a must have.

      One of my younger coworkers was just complaining about that and I had the pleasure of informing them they were now an old man.

      Yeah exactly. I need a game I can just pickup and put down on a moments notice.

        I mean, generally in those games you’ll pick up exactly where you stopped. You just have to take the extra step of quitting to the menu.

        Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t there a pause feature in most souls-like games? Or is this because its the boss battles that take up the most time and pausing in those is a death sentence?

        Sorry if this is a newby question, I don’t play souls-like games. I’ve tried, they just are not for me.

          Maybe in more recent “-like” games but most of them do not actually.

          Dark Souls 1-3, Elden Ring, Lies of P and others typically do NOT let you pause. So you can’t stop in the middle of a fight.

          I think this is slowly going away but a handful of clones still do this.
