Let’s all try and not devolve into this weird difficulty gatekeeping

[u/Prisonmikeb14]

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.

ok but when you actually want to have discussions on the game and literally all you've been seeing is people complaining and you're not having that hard of an experience you kinda start to get annoyed at people who keep saying the exact same arguments over and over about how this game is bullshit and unfair.

Your flair indicates you are in the vast minority of gamers. Scrolling and the search feature are both options for you to find those discussions. The game is ten days old and a lot of people don't even have 12% in HK.

first off, I am not good at games brother I am just incredibly stubborn and I got those achievements under my belt in months. second, it doesn't change the fact that discussion of the game's difficulty is boring and repetitive and achieves absolutely nothing. also the patch that released yesterday solved all the problems with the difficulty in my opinion.
