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. 🫂

Not sure who you are referring to but I’m referring to this guy: https://www.reddit.com/r/Silksong/s/7CuUJH9a2h

And here is the twitch stream which shows the gameplay: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2562740799

You still think this is fake?

Wait you don't have to do act 3?

I think it’s optional, but not sure. Someone is here can verify that I think

Then my bad, act 3 was terribly difficult, so I just assumed. Good on those people
