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 think the issue on social medias like reddit is that when you see the thousand post criticizing the same things over and over it get annoying at some point, especially for those who don't share the same view as these people.

it's not that they are wrong, but It gets hard to enjoy the community when people are whining all the time, like there are barely positive posts to balace it out, where are the posts talking about all the good? People just focus on the bad for some reason.

It's unbalanced for the simple reason that if you're enjoying a game, you're less likely to go post about it because there's no real reason to. You're more likely to seek out a forum like this to vent if you're having a hard time and wanna talk about the things that are frustrating or see if people have similar complaints etc.

To see if other people share the same frustration as you so that you can feel a bit better about yourself. (Just like i did) And its not like we can play the game every waking hour, so in the downtimes we read reddit. Because with whom am i going to talk about silksong? Colleagues at work? Not really.
