There's no excuse for this to have taken 7 years to make

>maps are massively oversized and full of dead air
>constant dead ends everywhere (marking these on your map requires you to fork over money for an item)
>environments all look extremely generic and samey
>rosary beads require you to stand directly on top of them to pick up and will bounce right past you into spikes
>any enemy killed on spikes loses all its rosary beads
>same bullshit currency loss on death requires backtracking through half the map or else you lose all those rosary beads forever
>basic trashmob enemies that take 10+ hits to kill and damage you for more than 1/3rd of your health bar
>dying at a difficult section requires you to backtrack 5+ minutes just to be able to attempt it again
>need a fucking paid upgrade to show compass on map and it blocks you from equipping any other exploration charms
>missing one tiny bench in the giant labyrinth map means you can't update your map and lose like 30 minutes of progress upon dying
>you also have to PAY just to open these stupid ass benches
>no way to return to the hub area, if you get stuck in an area, you're stuck there (one of the few mechanics from Souls they actually should have implemented, but didn't)
>somehow made the pogo mechanic even worse and more awkward with a diagonal pogo
>EXTREMELY slow drip-feed of upgrades and power-ups (like 1/20th the rate of Super Metroid)
>every enemy in the entire game deals contact damage with massive hitboxes
>bosses kill you in 2-3 hits while taking 200+ hits (and have no health bar)
It's like the devs fucking hate you and went out of their way to antagonize you at every turn. There's brief moments of discovery and cool bossfights that are just peppered in the absolute endless sludge of tedium and frustration

>world is empty and lifeless
>movement is boring
>story is gay
Is that the masterpiece y'all were waiting 6 years for? Is the original better or something? What exactly would push someone to pick this over Super Mario Wonder or even some generic indie slop like Pepper Grinder?

oh no no no no

>inhales

HAHAHAHAHAHAH

Yeah this shit is boring hallway walking simulator, no way it wins GotY

>game is released
>Gets major hype
>Storefronts COLLAPSE because of it
>Students call in sick for school
>Wagies call in sick for work citing emergency or accident
>Neets have something else to preoccupy their time with
>None cares about race, sex, or class as they just want to play the damn game.
>All thoughts about the extinction of white men gone immediately when the game boots up.

What are the political ramifications of this, /pol/?

I BOUGHT THE FUCKING COMPASS WHY AM I NOT SHOWING UP ON THE GOD DAMN MAP? 7 YEARS FOR THIS?

IT'S OUT

Wow indie devs are vocal about Silksong’s release and they’re not happy. They’re discontented with how the game just dropped out of nowhere and that it’s only $20. A lot of them were holding out hope for a fairer standard and a better chance for their own games to shine. Now there's even a petition that's garnered thousands of signatures to have the price changed. Obviously Team Cherry won’t change anything, but it shows just how unhappy other devs really are.

Thank god there is a real game coming out tomorrow.

They wouldn't dare not release it this year, right hollowbros?

This is the year.
In short, less than 6 months to go
