Thread 723900186

How do you explain this? The game was hyped up to be the next coming of Christ but now that almost 2 months have passed since release only 10% of the whole player base was able to make it to the end. It’s either that Pcbabs suck at games or bots have inflated the player numbers. What does /v/ think?

Normies overhyped it then realized it was shit. I know 3 people who loved it and 100%d it, but most people dropped the game.

>>723900186 (OP)
Well, it's an objectively bad game, so a lot of people dropped it.

>>723900186 (OP)
i loved silksong but i simply can't be bothered to hunt around, do quests, and grind money for 100%

>>723900186 (OP)
i got pretty sick of runbacks so I dropped it at Moorwing. I'll come back someday but I really wasn't vibing properly.

>>723900186 (OP)
I beat the silk mother boss and didn‘t feel like doing all the side quests to access act 3 so i dropped it there. Game was alright

because it fucking sucks

Going for 100% completion in games is literal autist tier.

>>723900186 (OP)
Most people will only play a game for a few hours before dropping it for good.
Silksong got a lot of attention, then the majority realized they aren't the target audience and moved on.

>>723900186 (OP)
Bandwagoning NPCs

>>723900186 (OP)
Act 3 is bad.

A lot of players realized that the game isn't actually good and it's just indie slop.
I was sold the idea that Hollow Knight was as good as Symphony of the Night, but when I tried it, it was nothing like SotN.

>>723900186 (OP)
>too difficult for normies
>insane hype and low price = lots of sales even from people who aren't gamers
>large amount of customers = lower completion rate
>very mediocre game overall

I haven't played it yet but 13% for 100% completion (outside of speedtranny shit) sounds like a pretty good rate. what's the % for a regular completion?

>>723900186 (OP)
Look up nearly any game and you'll find that the majority of gaymers don't finish their games.

>>723900186 (OP)
There are 32425678 other metroidvanias around.

>>723900186 (OP)
13% on 100% completion is very high

>>723900186 (OP)
36% of people beat GMS and 22% beat lost lace.
for reference, in hollow knight only 23% of people beat THK and 19% of people beat radiance.
even with the massive dropoff from act 3 being tedious and shitty, silksong still has better retention.

>>723900186 (OP)
The end of the game is when you see the ends credits. 100% completion isn't the intended experience for most players. I very rarely 100% a game.

>>723900317
It’s more like normies were filtered out since they are cattle that can’t adapt or strategize against overwhelming odds and challenges. Literally every normie friend i have is an NPC who can’t decide on things with their intuition. They follow the crowd and wait for the judgement or the verdict given to them by the “experts”. This is why when they play games that they can’t steamroll, all their facade of delusions just crumble down, reminding them that they are stupid losers conforming to the lowest common denominator because they don’t have any authentic thoughts or autonomy of their own.

>>723900186 (OP)
Twisted child has a surprisingly high rate.

>>723900186 (OP)
Are you the guy who keeps making this same thread but about the Crash Bandicoot trilogy?

>>723900518
It’s not like that in Silk Song. You need to beat the true final boss for that. It’s actually not accurate in that sense which is kind of dumb because you can 100% it without doing everything.

>>723900186 (OP)
nothing special. that's every game on steam. pc gamers don't play games. they only benchmark.

you have 20% of people that can't even beat the first stage of sa2

Mist oeople do not 200z% complete gamdd

why would the devs give a fuck if anybody completed it? players completing the game isn't what makes the devs rich, people buying the game is.

>>723900743
No retard. The 100% achievement (which is not actually 100%ing the game) can only be achieved by beating Lost Lace. You are wrong.

>>723901116
I saw the end credits of Hollow Knight at like 60% completion. Uninstalled the game after that and haven't really thought about it since. Most players are like this. There's an infinite amount of media out there for me to experience. I'm not going to spend another 10-15 hours of my life on a Metroid ripoff.

>>723901172
You can only 100% it by beating the final boss. That’s just the name of the achievement.

>>723901217
sister of the void, the achievement for killing lost lace and seeing the act 3 ending, has a 22% completion rate.
feel free to cope at me all you want, but you're the retard here.

>>723901203
How do you know most people didn't just refund it?

>>723901318
>This nigga actually thought he finished the game.
Good because you missed out on the 1/3 of the game which has the best content there is in the whole game.

If you didn't beat the entire game wearing the Barbed Bracelet, then you didn't beat the game.

>>723900186 (OP)
It says 100% completion can you not read?

>>723901560
I didnt do everything there is and still got 100% after beating Lost Lace.

>>723900186 (OP)
Silksong isn't special.
This isn't even 100% completion btw, stats for a simple clear

>>723900693
My first thought as well.

>>723901478
And I probably spent the time equivalent of that last 1/3 reading a book and watching a movie, which was a more enriching experience than a slightly cooler boss fight in a game that I already sunk 20-25 hours into.

>>723901457
what does refunding the game have anything to do with no beating the final boss or achieving 100%? refunds have a 2 hour play time limit.

>>723900967
Why is it that anytime normies drop something they have to be "filtered" it's so disingenuous for you to peddle the game as a product of high heaven when most people who bought it couldn't be bothered to finish it. If a game is good enough people will power through. The reality is that Silksong failed to meet the general publics expectations. Which is fine, but you don't need to pretend you have some esotsric knowledge or one above all taste. Let's look at some other harder games. Slay the spire 70% of players beat the game at least once with 15% doing A10. Elden Ring, a staggering 40% beat what is considered "the hardest boss in gaming" the list goes on for other popular "hard games" that normal people latched onto.

>>723901387
That’s still laughably low. Shallow Knight babs are as pathetic as usual.

>>723901863
They could've reached act 2 under 2 hours and could've refunded it.

>>723902226
Elden Ring and Silksong are both masterpieces, sorry

>>723901902
It’s the mindset. Normalfags are stupid cattle because they easily give up against challenges and they are not enthusiastic about anything. They just ride the hype train due to their fear of missing out, not because they are interested in that medium in the slightest . That’s why they deserve to be called out for being extremely superficial.

The best boss mechanics are when they are beholden to the same mechanics as your player character.

>>723902264
I'm not berating anything. What i'm saying is that given the plethora of media out there, most people have zero interest in obsessively 100%-ing a game they've already seen an end credits for. They would rather use that time exploring other media.

>>723900186 (OP)
These are normal achievement statistics for games. Also over 10% got 100% which is actually remarkable.

That's normal. 20% of people who bought my last game completed it too.

My last game I released I put in an achievement right at the start of the game. Only 70% of people got it. So 30% of the people who bought my game, never even opened it. Not that I'm complaining or anything since they still bought it, I just don't get why you would spend money to not play something.

>>723902341
Most people are cattle. Monoculture was a thing for years and anyone over the age of 30 was apart of it. It's normal and even a good thing for normal people to be interested in your "thing". In this case the issue genuinely stems from it being massively overhyped by the dedicated fans themselves, but the product not matching expectations. It's not even the only game to suffer from that issue this year. Monster hunter, Mario Kart, and Pokemon all had the same problems.

>>723902448
How much pussy did unlocking the 100% achievement on Silksong get you?

>>723902536
You are not berating others on not 100%ing games though. You are making excuses on missing 1/3 of the game and still counting the ending you got as a resolution. Also reading books doesn’t make you smart or eccentric. You are a dumb cringelord for even flexing about that. Lmao It’s like pure insecure behaviour trying to come off as superior. You are just another nerd here.

>>723902648
a lot of it has to do with steam sales. people will buy a bunch of games at once because they're cheap and then never get around to some of them because the next steam sale drops before they finish all the games they bought.

That's actually A LOT given that it's a 100% completion. For context, on average only 15-20% of gamers tend to complete games. Most people just play for a couple of hours and move on.

>My last game I released I put in an achievement right at the start of the game. Only 70% of people got it. So 30% of the people who bought my game, never even opened it
Fairly sure achievements only count players who have launched the game, so either they attempted to launch it and never reached that start point or they ran an automated tool that spoofs opening the AppID but does not actually launch the game. If a game has cards it will often lose a good chunk of its achievement percentages to people idling without ever playing

>>723902985

A game is finished when you see the end credits. Saying that the content specifically made for obsessive completionists is a necessary part of the experience is fundamentally dishonest. When someone claimed to have finished Skyrim, they're usually not referring to having completed every single side quest and cleared out every single dungeon.

Because just like Hollow Knight the first ending you get is a fake out since it’s not the real ending that concludes everything.

>>723903396
A memento. It doesn't count towards 100% completion, it's just a home decor item. You can get several of them. That's currently the last one I need, I haven't beaten him in flea juggle yet and I just haven't felt like doing it.

>>723901902

so because everyone elbows their way into everybody's business and won't leave anyone alone, you are not allowed to enthusiastically enjoy something and tell people that you love it. "these people who love X says X is the best thing ever so I'm going to involve myself with X. I'm terrible at X, I don't like X, it's the fans' fault for loving X and saying that it is great when I don't like it! It's their fault that I didn't finish this book, game or movie! I wish those fans understood that X is actually shit and that I hate it so that they stop loving it and praising it when speaking to others."

>>723903501
If a game shows me an end credits sequence and sends me back to the main menu after 25 hours of gameplay, then I'm finished with it. Not because I think that the content I didn't see isn't worthwhile, but because I'm going to be dead in 60 years and I literally do not have enough time to experience all of the media I want to experience. It's perfectly fine if you think that the extra content is worth your time and effort, but that shouldn't be a standard you hold everyone else to.

>>723903760
>elbows their way in
That's not what happens and you know it. There's plentoras of videos, articles, social media interactions even right here in this very board, screaming at people that they have to try (((THING))). This year alone it happened with a lot of big releases. Hollow Knight, Deltaroon, E33. Each massive drop of the year or even up to years in advance fans of the franchise were insufferable when it comes to pushing the narrative on how (((THING))) is the greatest ever. I think that people should be excited about their passions but I also think that fans of the franchises should understand not everyone who is willing to try it will like it, and shouldn't be upset that the general public doesn't like xyz mechanics or finds it too hard/ not worth finishing because it's poorly designed for a general audience.

My personal tips for juggle hell:
1.- Use wanderer instead of shaman, quick hits are better than slow long ones
2.- Juggle the fleas in one direction
3.- Try not to jump too much
4.- Most of the times you don't need to hit upwards just do it normally to the front
5.- When facing 4 fleas at a time do little jumps to keep the 4th flea up as much as possible while dealing with the other 3 faster
6.- Do not miss any flea up until the 45 mark, that way you can miss 1 of the 4 fleas in the next 2 waves and still beat seth's score

>>723903760
Yeah I’m really tired of this.
Everyone has to weigh in on every popular game, but everyone has different taste to begin with. I can tell which games I’ll like and which I won’t like. Clearly Hollow Knight wasn’t a game for everyone and neither is Silksong.

>>723900186 (OP)
Don't they say that for any game, only about 1/5th of people actually finish it?

>>723905204
yes, OP post is trolling or has no idea about completion rates

>>723900186 (OP)
Haven't played it, but isn't it hard?
Good chance a lot of normalfags got swept up in the hype for the game and got buttfucked in less than an hour.

Also:
>13% of players 100%'d the game
>in a metroidvania
>this is apparently low
Unless Silksong has almost no side content, 13% 100%ing a Metroidvania is shockingly high.

why do you open threads about shit you don't like or don't want to talk or learn more about? why do you let strangers convince you to do something at all? don't you know your own preferences?

you let yourself be influenced by someone else's enthusiasm and then you realize that you're a normie bottom feeder and have to loudly declare to the world that fans of a game are stupid poo poo heads who pretend that bad games are good to trick True and Honest people to play bad games.

You're an absolute fucking tool, teach your fucking brain to filter what matters to you and what you allow to influence your decisions.

>>723905084

The thing is, no one actually has to. People tend to view social media as one giant water cooler, but unless you have tens-of-thousands of followers your takes are generally irrelevant.

>>723903650
>every other game
You know it was different for Silk Song. It was basically the most hyped up game in this decade. Some even kept saying that it’s the saviour of the games and that its existence is a threat to the AAA scene.

everyone who bought it thought it's gonna be like deltarune with troon animals

>>723900186 (OP)
It's not a good game. Only losers feel obligated to finish games they didn't like.

>>723901116
you can beat act 3 without doing everything aka achieving 100% completion, why are you spreading lies, anon?

Someday your insistence of over exaggerating things to cope will bite you in the ass anon.

Unironically too hard for my old ass. I'm almost 40, reflexes aren't what they used to be.
I got all the way to 100% outside of beating lost lace with some cheesing on the harder bosses but I gave up on lost lace. I only tried her about 10 times too before I was just not feeling the game anymore and decided to put it down, I mean I can just watch the ending on youtube at that point, no need to beat everything.

I'll never be able to do the speedruns anyways, I spent well over 100 hours on just my 100% playthrough. I have no desire to do it again.

Not everyone wants to be tracked online.

People tend to not finish games in general. Don't know why, but that's how it is.

>>723901902
>Why is it that anytime normies drop something they have to be "filtered"
Because that's exactly what fucking happens and it's always the same story too. Someone dies one too many times, goes on a rant about the "game sucks" (bonus points if they talk about being a "souls veteran") and that they're dropping it. There is almost never any legitimate criticism for the game, just "I died bro what the fuck this is bullshit". Slay the Spire is the exception not the rule and people openly cheat at Fromsoft games all the time when they're not getting carried through them or mindlessly grinding until they're over leveled for the content they're going through. This is also why Sekiro was so controversial for not having summons or any major form of leveling.

This is also ignoring the fact that you can easily cheat in Steam achievements, so the completion rates for all of these things is always way lower than what it actually is.

>>723904502
The game made storepages crash, of course people were going to talk about it.

>>723907258
passing of the age is actually explained within the game, no need to look up how to get it

>>723900743
1/3rd completion is average for games.

It's 36% for normal ending and 22% for true ending. That's pretty high given It's a hard game (considered to be the hardest game normalfags have ever played) and they couldn't call up Mason from flood 3 to help them clear the game. OP is also a disingenuous faggot looking for (you), In case you haven't noticed that already

If you were saying shit like collect all of a specific item, or the steel soul or speedrunner achievements.
But getting the other ending is not being an "obsessive completionist".

The more telling ones are when there's achievements for starting the game or watching the opening cutscene and only 90% of people have it, meaning 10% started the game up but never actually pressed play

This applies to most games though. A huge amount of games on steam only have 80%~ for early game achievements, games that are way more casual than this one even.

I have my own company, a smoking hot wife, a son and a rich social life yet i managed to 100% it in a month. Some people are just born weak and feeble minded.

13% is a big number and reflects an unhealthy level of dedication. Most people obtain 1 or 2 endings and leave.

Can we stop with this discriminatory tone? Like they are people with responsibilities and its really low to just label them as subhumans for not meeting your arbitrary standards you have for gamers. Calling yourself them “normies” to elevate yourself is nothing short of pathetic.

13% is pretty high
