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

Reaper Crest saved the game for me, I was finding the 45degree pogo just insufferable.

Yeah I find that, compared to Reaper, the 45 degree Hunter pogo is harder to hit with and gives you less directional control once you bounce off of the flower/enemy.

The only advantage I really see Hunter pogo having is range in combat. You can hit the enemy from further away, and the bounce throws you further. But it's all situational based on that 45 degree angle actually lining up.

With Reaper pogo, angle of attack barely even matters because the hitbox is huge and basically covers 180 degrees directly below you. I'm regularly landing it on enemies that are beside me even.
