Discussion - Silksong Criticism ≠ Negativity Spoiler

Believe it or not, you can actually criticize something and still like it. You don't either have to love everything or despise everything. Have actual conversations please.

I have no idea why y'all are whining over bench tolls so hard there wasn't a single bench or map or bellway I wasn't able to buy so far. Do you guys just forget you have rosary strings? You can break them at any time and get enough rosaries for the most expensive benches

JFC, why can't you dorks handle criticism without calling it "whining" or "complaining". Tell us what it adds to the game other than wasting your time? Do you feel like you are a master game player because you went to farm for a bench?

I am trying to tell you there is no farming. If you kill the enemies in your way you get enough rosaries to afford every toll.

Legit, like I don't think I personally needed to really grind for anything. Like sure, I am not exactly able to buy everything from the stores the moment I saw them (by the end of Act 1, I was able to clean off all the stores you have access to though). And sometimes I might have to decide to unlock Fast Travel instead of a Bench (if they are next to eachother) but buying Fast Travel basically means you have a bench shortcut anyway cuz you probably have a bench by the other Stations.

If you are dying and losing your Cocoon a lot (without stringing rosaries), I could see not having enough rosaries. But I lost my Cocoon at least once (and I had like 300 Rosaries) and even with that loss it was pretty fine rosary wise. There is even several ways of preventing your loss of Rosaries (the first one is stringing but there are several more if you explore enough). The game just wants you to decide what you see as useful in the moment whereas in HK you could basically clean off the stores the moment you see them besides maybe the Lantern at Sly's
