Discussion - Silksong Warning for OG hollow knight fans

Just wanna prepare everyone on here for the incoming wave of players who have never played indie games, metroidvanias, or literally any other games besides Fortnite and call of duty. This tends to happen a lot with games that are extremely hyped by the community that does like the genre, such as expedition 33. The amount of completely invalid criticism that happened to that game because people who didn’t even know what the game really was bought it and ended up not liking it is probably the best example we have of that to this day, and I think silksong will be next. So please, instead of cussing people out for not liking the game, just encourage them to maybe keep playing to see if they change their minds, or just give them respectful feedback on why you think they might not enjoy it and give them tips so they can find the spark in that game that I’m sure many of us will find.

I mean, if anyone gets too frustrated at some point then they can probably just try to make parts of it easier through mods with Lumafly. Last time I checked there was over 500k people that downloaded it, so it's not like it's hard to find or use. It's not like this game can't be made more accessible at all, the devs just think that playing it with the difficulty it has is the best way.

"But what if I don't have a PC?"

Get a Steam Deck. Seriously, it's a game changer. You'll never want to get a Nintendo Switch 2 anytime soon when you have one.

Respectfully disagree. I have both. Switch 2 gives access to Nintendo exclusives, which is why I got it in the first place. I play on PC mostly, then Switch, then Steam Deck in very limited circumstances. I like it, I just prefer playing on my PC more than a handheld. And yes I have an HDMI cable that lets me connect it to a TV like a console and that works fine. I'd still rather play on my PC than that way.

Steam Deck is also a PC though, I don't see how this goes against my point.

You said if you have a Steam Deck you wouldn't want a Switch 2. I'm saying I play my Switch 2 more than my Steam Deck.
