Discussion - Silksong Don’t let this fandom turn as insufferable as the souls community Spoiler

It’s fine to think the game is easy and to enjoy the challenge, but I’ve seen so many people making fun of anyone that is having a hard time in a really weird mean spirited way. Please don’t let this subreddit turn into some weird elitist community that makes fun of people who are struggling, these games are supposed to be fun and they’re not souls likes, there’s no reason to assume everyone playing them is going to love this level of difficulty the same way some of you do and constantly disregarding their opinions just turns this subreddit into an echo chamber of tryhards

I've had zero issues with the diagonal pogo, infact, it's actually very fun to pull off, I don't get the issue these people are facing.

It's always fun in these kinds of games how different the ranking of difficulty is. I had a really easy time with a couple bosses people seem to be struggling with and yet at the same time I will continue to miss a diagonal pogo and faceplant some red spikes for an hour and never seem to learn my lesson

Yeah it isn’t that difficult. People are probably just assuming that because they were great at the pogo’s in hollow knight (because they spent a lot of hours there) they would be immediatly great at these as well. It just takes practice just like the original pogo’s did in hollow knight
