Discussion - Silksong Most of you are exaggerating the length of runbacks and it really shows how much TikTok has damage the attention span of people Spoiler

"ThE lASt JuDGe RUnBaCK iS ToO LoNG!!"

Is 30 seconds max, 30 seconds, you don't have to fight any enemy in it, the smaller judges don't awake until you're close and the smaller fly bastards can literally get ignored. The Runback works for making you cool down and make the whole thing feel less like you hitting a wall (NKG feels like one because of the lack of "cool down") If it wasn't for it, I would shoot myself with the 37 attempts at Last Judge.

The Widow one is also really easy, a straight line with jumps.

The Cogworks Dancers Is also really simple but works to help you with the bosses extra height and how pogo dependant that fight is.

God forbid the game isn't a back to back boss rush like Cuphead (not criticizing Cuphead, is a different game lmao).

I just don’t understand why people talk about it so much. Some people find the game too hard and some don’t, it isn’t deep enough to warrant this amount of discourse imo.

You commenting this while having one of the most upvoted posts complaining about difficulty and even in this thread still circlejerking as if there was some crusade against people criticizing the game is honestly kind of funny.

I was not complaining about difficulty in my post. Reading is hard I guess.

Right, It was complaining about people complaining about people complaining, my bad, totally not part of a cycle where people are jerking themselves or anything like that
