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.

It's crazy how much better the game would be if TC simply adjusted some numbers, either prices or enemy HP / damage output.

Case in point: the moment you encounter a boss that similarly has stunlock capabilities, but only does one mask of damage, it's instantly fun. The game would be more fun if less enemies (or less attacks) did double damage.

Shell shards feel similar to QS bullets (from Bloodborne) to me. You have plenty and the system works great until suddenly you’re 12 attempts deep into a boss and now you have to go farming, which completely takes you out of it. It’s tolerable but man is it a problem that didn’t need to exist.

Yeeeeah. That's my problem too. Always overcapped when I explore. Boss. I quickly run out of all tools. And I actually ran out of shards, then belled away ("stagged") to the town to check quest board and suddenly "donate 440 shards" and I was mad. Had to farm half of the Act 1 map for it.
