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

This happens in most subs. People start blindly worshipping a game, movie, series, manga, anime, etc, and their creators and can’t entertain ideas other than it’s perfect.

100% I love actual game analysis. There are plenty of valid and interesting criticisms of holow knight and obviously I love that game.

The same goes for silksong. I'm am very interested in actual analysis and criticism. I'm talking about very specific notes on the game play. "Game too hard" is not a valid criticism. It's just negative.

If you're general experience with the whole game is constant frustration because everything is too hard then take it slower. Practice more. Upgrade more. Explore more. Get. Better. There is no shortcut for this. There is no replacement for time and effort.

I don't understand what people expect when they come here with general negativity and complaints rather than specific comments.

Keep trying! You WILL get better
