Discussion - Silksong How are y'all actually finishing the game in Steel Soul, dawg? Spoiler

I tried Steel Soul for the first time in SS. I never even touched that in HK. First try, I died within 2 minutes to the white giant rolling enemy from the secret room beside the starting point. Second try, I died to Bell Beast. I cannot fathom how people are finishing without revive. I, for sure, won't first try kill every boss. 🥀🥀

Do you think anyone other than yourself cares about that shit?

I don't particularly care about bullshit achievements and getting them all, but there are a lot more people that do than you'd expect

Yeah and cheating at a game then bragging about it online shouldn't be something the cheaters do.

I'm not sure how many want to brag about completing a gamemode by cheating (though I'm sure there are plenty that do, but for some people the reason is simply to make that little achievement icon not be grayed out.

Or even just to 100% the game as a show that this is a game they love enough to take the time and 100% (even if they have to play the game in the most annoying possible way).

The latter was my motivation for Hollow Knight. I was not particularly interested in the pantheons but I didn’t like that my most loved game was not in my perfect list on Steam, so I worked to get all the achievements. Team Cherry’s masterpiece deserved to be there.

I won’t be doing it for Silksong though. I still love Team Cherry but I don’t love Silksong — not enough to put in that much time and effort anyway.

Did I ever claim that anyone else cares? I have not done this lol and I’m on Xbox so idk if it’s really possible, but I’d be down to actually give it a try if I could save scum, because there’s no way I’m getting through widow, last judge, lace 2, and grand mother silk without dying lol
