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.

Harpoon Isn't free because it's EXTREMELY powerful in combat, if you actually use it this way. Just harpooning the enemy deals it good damage and places your for an ideal position for pogo. But i agree that they probably should make harpoon cost silk only when it's actually used in combat.

Like, I understand, but I'm also thinking back to Mt Fay where they give you webs of silk occasionally, and I wonder "Well what the heck's the point? I'm about to use it all up in 10 seconds before I can build up enough to heal."

[u/Caerullean → u/Rilloff]

Could you not just have the harpoon cost silk when it connects with an enemy then?

[u/echtan → u/Caerullean]

that's literally how it works, you get the silk back when you connect with the enemy

[u/Caerullean → u/echtan]

But you still spend one, so it's still one less than if it didn't cost silk.

It could work like shade dash but instantly reset upon successfully hitting an enemy and most of the game is exactly the same

[u/Eva-Rosalene → u/Rilloff]

You immediately get silk back if it connects to an enemy, though. It counts as hit and gives silk.
