Thread 719859441

reddit, the deciders of the /v/erdict, have already all agreed that silksong is TOO HARD. everything does TOO MUCH DAMAGE. how do you feel when a long awaited game is absolute garbage on release and had zero QA and testing? Cyberpunk level catastrophe

>souls games are too hard
>normalniggers shut the fuck up and keep playing, they understand talking about it makes them come across as dogshit gamers

>any other game is somewhat difficult
>"WOOOOOOOOOW DUDE THIS IS TOO UNFAIR!!!! I MEAN I HECKING LOVE THE GAME SO MUCH BUT C'MON GUISE, I HAVE A JOB AND A CHILD TO TAKE CARE OF!!!"

Victory against an enemy that can kill you in 2 and a half hits feels more rewarding, though. Why can't more people think this way? Why do they always want the devs to adjustnl the game for them instead of them adjusting to it?

>>719859441 (OP)
playing silksong is the same as getting vaxxed, you're just cattle

go back

>>719859535
These people have very low ceilings. When they start hitting them they get emotional

>>719859441 (OP)
SHAW, GIT GUD

>Game is too hard everything does kill you in one hit
>No unlimited continues, a game over screen and you have to start from the beginning

It's okay when boomer games did it?

>>719859441 (OP)
do these niggers know about the "heal" button?

>>719859441 (OP)
>reddit thinks a game is too hard and want it nerfed
They could be talking about literally any game

>>719860053
back then, there weren't as many games releasing every single day
and kids would play the same game for weeks or even months without their parents buying them other games, so boomers had to either git gud or play nothing

I have never seen /v/ so filtered and coping so hard. Because you're bad at the game, you think it's the game's fault? Hahaha I bet you can't even pogo.

Are you seriously grinding rosaries?

Fetch quests? You mean you go out of your way to do the quests instead of letting them resolve passively while you explore?
Huh? You can't beat the ant zone? Anon, this is Act I. That's a tutorial area.
>Use throwing knives for free damage at all times
>Use needle throw whenever you have it since its stronger than your needle
Every enemy behavior is entirely deterministic. They will always go the same distance with their attacks and always respond the same way to stimulation.
Also, go around the angry ant if you can't beat him and get the dash. Now you can play Silksong!
It's just that easy!

>tfw /v/ is a bunch of ESL thirdies who can't play a game that asks you to use your brain instead of coasting through a content tour
Hahaha, SHAW

>>719859441 (OP)
I'm ok with difficulty but not with tedium so I need to ask, is the backtracking as bad as in HK ?

>>719859653
I love high lethality when it goes both way like in Fallout 4 survival mode. Bullet sponges are the worst regardless of the damage they inflict.

>>719860731
>I have never seen /v/ so filtered and coping so hard.
The average /v/ user is in their early to mid 20s. Zoomers. On average they're used to instant gratification because they were mind fucked for years by mobile devices, so if they're not instantly good at something and instantly rewarded with success, they go out of their minds and use any justification they can think of other than the fact they're fucked in the head. Patience is a lost virtue and sustained effort is unthinkable.

I'm not good at the game myself, but I'm keeping at it and improving little by little. More people need to adopt the mindset that they cannot be stopped.

>>719860731
>I have never seen /v/ so filtered and coping so hard.
How new are you?
be honest

>>719859441 (OP)
I gotta hurry up and finish the game before the dev listen to these tards.

>>719861332
just pirate it on steamrip if you're that worried

>>719859441 (OP)
I guess you really have to find the one singular criticism from reddit to tend to your insecuritry of liking the same thing as redditors who are savoring over this game

>>719861246
It has never been this widespread. Even during huge releases like Elden Ring the whinging was pretty restrained but this is just bitter and funny.

>>719859535
Good job you realized souls games are played for their supposed cred rather than any actual quality or challenge

>>719859535
Souls games are arguably more accessible to normies.

GIT GUD

>>719860053
Didn't everyone just use the Konami Code in that game after reading about it Nintendo Power?

>>719860053
>u,u,d,d,l,r,l,r,b,a,start
Literally destroyed. Whats that? STILL too hard??
>F5 after every enemy killed, multiple savestates during boss fights.
Nice game design konami, easy to see why you FAILED.

I don't know what's worse: retarded subhuman incapable of jump punch jump gameplay or underage zoomscum bragging about le skillz in a 2D flash tier platformer.

Nigger, I don't want videogames to simulate the shittiest struggles of real life and philosophically adapt to a digital medium how we cope with failure and success. Only sexless lifeless losers want that. Videogames should be escapism, where the challenge is in function to the fun factor rather than the only thing of worth in them

>>719861878
The Konami code only gives you 30 lives, not unlimited continues and I assure you even 99 lives won't be enough to beat Contra unless you really git gud

The only change I would make is no contact damage from stunned bosses.

>>719862074
>so if they're not instantly good at something and instantly rewarded with success, they go out of their minds
correct. this is normie behaviour.

>>719859441 (OP)
The first game had people complaining about not having a difficulty slider as well lol
In this game, Hornet is way more agile than the Knight so it makes sense. And healing is fucking OP so I don't see the issue

>>719862027
the absolute state when predditors are less shills then /v/tards.

>>719859441 (OP)
Feeling pretty good. Of the age where I'd NEVER admit a game is too hard if this thread would have ANY reflection upon the rest of my life, but I get to enjoy the future nerfs like the skilless faggot I am without any pushback.

>>719862168
I'm 35 have a job and wife, 1 kid, friends, real life, binge watching netflix and have only 10 minutes time left for video games.

>>719859441 (OP)
Do they not understand that the ant zone is there for people who want a challenge early on? Like you can go around it no problem.

>>719862235
You sound like an utter cunt.

>>719862235
Play gacha then bwo

>>719862074

This is shitter cope btw. Give it some thought if you're too dumb to instantly understand why.

>>719859535
Souls games are not hard they are gear simulators. They become piss easy with certain gear. Normies understand this and get the awesome gear and pretend they beat the epic hard game.
There is no equivalent in this game to my understanding.

>>719862074
>Videogames should be escapism, where the challenge is in function to the fun factor rather than the only thing of worth in them
Well you're playing the wrong video game for that then, and that's fine, Silksong was not made for you. Bye!

>>719859535
>souls games are too hard
Yeah, if you don't grind for souls. If you do it becomes super easy.

why is /v/ suddenly obsessed with sucking TC's cock?

>>719859441 (OP)
Git gud. You healed 1 mask at a time in the original. Here you heal 3, and in less time.

>>719862428
The game is hard if you restrict the gear you use, and blindfold yourself, and tie one arm behind your back, and dose yourself with acid, and pay a whore to stomp on your balls, and call in a bomb threat so the cops break down your door to arrest you

>>719859441 (OP)
It's easier than Hollow Knight.
You heal whopping 3 points out of the box and you can float in air to heal. Once you get the dash ability, you can spam it so much that it trivializes what little challenge the game had before it. So far it is absolutely not a hard game.

I hate how your sp is still tied to your nail abilities and your hp.
In HK it wasnt really a big deal you could charge one heal/blast in like 2-3 hits but now you need the full bar to heal, so you're retroactively cucking yourself by wasting sp in your nail.

>>719862386
In fact I'm not playing Silksong, but the fact these kind of games for losers create the worst kind of clueless cult mentality fanbases irks me. Because they then act all smug and arrogant as if they're enjoying what "true games" are supposed to be, when in fact they're just jerking off with titles simulating the struggles they're too afraid to confront in the real world
The very fact such a niche of games exists is spiritually wrong

>>719862969
>ackshuallee i haven't even played it ;)

>>719862027
Kinda funny looking at how reddit championed this game hard before release.

early on there is always a bias toward negative reviews since those enjoying it are simply still playing it.

>>719859441 (OP)
I love that the game’s difficukty starts right where the last game ended.

it really is time, just uninstall the game

>>719859441 (OP)
It is pretty punishing to be getting hit for two hearts from the get go. Also just a weird design choice.
I'm barely started but, so far the only boss that seemed to justify a double heart of damage was Lace when doing her counter swing.

>>719859653
Because I want to play a fun game, not find more reasons to kill myself. This shit feels miserable and pointless to play like SL1 runs in Souls games do.

>>719859441 (OP)
This sounds like dogshit design, like the first game, but amplified
We already knew when the game came out 90% of people were going to stop pretending its good anyways

>>719860053
Every single adult who played this game in his childhood, when asked about this game, will start sentimentally blabbering about the Konami code and how it allowed him to beat that supposedly very difficult game. People never liked difficult games, they just put up with them.

refund status?

>>719859535
Souls games have a built in easy mode with coop and summons retardbro.

Top kek

>heal for 4 instead of 3 masks
>start with 6 hp points instead of 5
honestly, shit’s hard yo
I hope you get better charms, too, esp bigger needle

>>719859441 (OP)
Geme for sado maso troons and vaxis tards

don't you start with 3 hearts in hollow knight?
are redditors really too retarded to realize that enemies doing 2 damage when you have 5 hearts is the same as enemies doing 1 damage when you have 3 hearts?

The big golem boss hitting you for 1 damage while knocking you into lava that deals 2 damage was a bit rubbish.

>>719859441 (OP)
crazy that reddits opinion and /v/s opinion is the same

>>719860731

it's relieving not rewarding.
you're happy that it's over, you didn't actually enjoy the fight.

>check Silksong negative reviews
>"For the purposes of critisizing the game specifically, I will avoid critizing the basic aspects of metroidvanias that I consider bad in and metroidvania game in general. (TLDR judging the game, not the genre)"
kek imagine buying a Metroidvania purely based on hype and then getting mad it's a Metroidvania
