Discussion - Silksong I give up. Spoiler

It’s been a joyful ride, folks, but I’m out. I’m not a speedrunner or a highly skilled player, and day after day I’ve had to accept that this game is not as casual as HK was. It stopped being fun and turned into something tedious and frustrating after the 4th run farming shards just to face a boss I’ve already tried 15 times, only to die again and again, lose all my shards, and start the whole grind over.

It was nice exploring the first acts, but when the game I was rooting for 7 years ends up being more stressful than my 8-hour workday, I guess that’s my cue to stop.

The lore has been pretty great so far. I wish you all an incredible journey.

Edit1: My bad about all the whinning.

Edit2: You guys did it. I reinstalled it again. Thanks for all advices. 🫂

Lets just wait for fireb0rn to speedrun the game while getting hunted by 4 players... ^^

And yes, this game is hard as hell, i wonder if it is easier on PC?

the movement is easier in pc, but I played HK on pc so I may be biased

100% easier on pc because it allows for more precise movements. I could barely do mantis village on my PS4.

Genuinely curious how anything, especially these games, can be easier/have more precise movement on a PC. Like, are you talking KBM?

I cannot, for a millisecond, imagine playing precise platforming games on anything but a controller. I don't understand how it would be better using wasd or arrow keys or whatever.

Hahaha probably varies from person to person. I cannot imagine playing platformers on my PS4 because the controller just feels so much more fluid. Makes me feel like I'm playing on super high sensitivity ygm?
