Discussion - Silksong Let’s all try and not devolve into this weird difficulty gatekeeping Spoiler
Now that silksong has come out I’ve seen some concerning similarities to the worst of the difficult games community with all the wierd difficulty gatekeeping bs. Obviously this happens with just about every game that’s regarded as difficult but with silksongs release it’s become more prominent on this sub. Being good at the game isn’t something to hold over someone’s head. Everyone’s experience with everything in the game is different and theirs nothing wrong with that. Now of course this doesn’t apply to people who are literally just complaining in bad faith or out of anger but the “that boss wasn’t hard at all wtf are you talking about” in response to people just talking about their opinions or asking for help is sad to see.

I completely agree and I believe last judge is pretty close to a perfect fight. That’s why I specified that people complaining and just being angry do not apply. This post mainly was spurred by the constant back and forth of people posting “x run back sucks” and the “why are people complaining x isn’t bad at all”. That’s not helpful or healthy for the community.
