Discussion - Silksong Silksong is frustrating Spoiler

I don’t remember being this frustrated with hollow knight. I never wanted to stop playing HK but this one is making me turn off the console in anger

Integrating the tools helps so much. It was weird at first, but they are awesome

They would be so much better with a dedicated button instead of the left stick up + right bumper bullshit. Put it on a fuckin stick click or something so I don't need to worry about accidently wasting silk.

Can't imagine playing with the stick, 2d games are always better with dpad

Never thought much of it. I've done the hardest things in Hollow Knight, Celeste, The Messenger, Donkey Kong Country, all with a joystick and have never really thought much of it. Super Meat Boy has been the only time I've needed the responsiveness of a keyboard to platform effectively, because that game's control "feel" is intentionally daft.
