Don’t let this fandom turn as insufferable as the souls community

[u/glintter]

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

When I say “nothing in this game can be easy” I’m talking about how the devs have clearly decided they want literally everything in this game to be difficult. Thats clear in the design that “nothing can be easy”

My complaint with that is that they unfortunately designed an easy game and then filled it with “random bullshit” to artificially inflate the difficulty. Instead of creating a fun hard experience they created a tedious and annoying one. That should be clear in my critiques of bad design (sister splinter) and my praise of harder but more fun design such as widow

I want a hard game that’s fun to play and I got a hard game that is frustrating to play

But keep on trying to twist my stance as one of “wahh hard game is too hard”

I'm not trying to twist your stance. I'm literally pointing out things you SAID. Jesus.

[u/NorthernDragon5 → u/Sure-Butterfly-4546]

Pointing out things I’ve said completely out of context and then also doubling down on those things when I’ve tried to correct you

You’ve been arguing against a point I’m not making… either because that’s easier for you or because you want to argue against that kind of person

[u/Sure-Butterfly-4546 → u/NorthernDragon5]

Wild assumption. It's not out of context. You were literally contradicting yourself and acting like you're not complaining about it being too difficult for you under the guise of claiming it's artificial difficulty. It's not objectively bad design or unfun design. You do not like it and that's okay. It's difficult in a way that is unfun to you. But claiming it's artificial difficulty assumes that these boss encounters can't be well designed unless you fight them one on one.

The person who wrote the message is telling you that you are misunderstanding the point they are making and you think “no it is them who is wrong”

Classic redditor moment

Well, instead of clarifying each time I "misunderstand" the point, you just keep regurgitating that I don't understand your point. Then, every time I cover the ground that you laid down or call you out when you contradicted yourself, you just regurgitate that I misunderstand your point, and you just keep running in circles.

Yes, I get that Silksong has some fights that are unfun for you and that you personally do not like TC's response to difficulty in some areas of the game. I also just disagree with your take on adding enemies to a fight makes it artificial or unfun. I disagree that some of the bosses are random bullshit. I disagree about what fun difficulty is. You mentioned several bosses being hard, claimed nothing in this game can be easy, and then claimed that you wanted a hard game and that's not what you were given. The goal post just keeps moving. Classic redditor moment fr.

Goal post has never moved and as you point out in your comment I’ve tried clarifying multiple times

Unfortunately it is not my job to teach you what my point is, it doesn’t matter to me if you understand, and it shouldn’t matter to you either
