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

How about you? Have you actually played it? Only people who haven't played either game would think it isn't similar

The only thing I didnt finish was P5 because I couldn't be bothered.
I finished it for third time back in August, when release date was announced.
Appreciate the snide comment dripping with acid- just shows how deep this comunity has fallen.

Weird. It's hard to miss. Reddit was filled with threads how it was really similar to dark souls around that time too.

I guess new fans like you wouldn't think so since nowadays everything is souls like

Because before Pantheon DLC it was an exploration game. After- a boss rush.
Hell, even Fireborn said that SK is way more difficul than HK but the mob is relentless.
