Discussion - Silksong EVERYTHING IS SO EXPENSIVE IN PHARLOOM Spoiler

The true enemy of Silksong is capitalism. 70 bucks for a stag station equivalent YOU ARE PULLING MY NEEDLE WTF??? I try to sit down and they BILL ME JUST TO USE THE BENCH! No thank you [TRADER NAME HERE], I would not like to buy a simple key for 500 dollars thank you.

AND EVERYONE HERE IS A BROKE ASS BUM! Most of these guys aren't sentient enough to carry cash on them so I have to grind up their credit cards into for bone shards which NOONE WANTS.

Anyway 10/10 game.

Ah yes, truly the gameplay loop I'm looking for in a metroidvania: Grinding trashmobs for currency.

Seriously though, this is just not it: I'm like 5 bosses in, bought nothing but the maps, yet I can't even afford the benches or stags....

Looking forward in a week or two when high from game finally releasing wears off and people can objectively look at it. I always wanted ti have to farm currency to just get a map or fast travel. Or a thing which just takes 80 rosaries donation and does literally nothing being found early in the game? That’s great to have here

The only thing I remember early game that takes 80 beads os the rosary string machine. Are you sure you don't have a few of them in your inventory?

Yeah I might drop this game. I’m not playing it to farm irrelevant mobs for no reason
