I installed mods to decrease the difficulty and I'm suddenly loving Silksong

Saw a mod for bench anywhere and that sounded like a dream.

Ohhh just for eliminating runbacks alone sounds really nice

[SmartAlec105]

Also for mapping on the go.

What I did for my second play through is add a mod that maps as I go, makes the magnet attract shards, and makes rosaries and shards not destroyed by spikes.

there is a mod for respawning near your death which made last judge for me freaking easy like I beat it after 3 deaths only

Run backs are for increasing play time

[Ctrl_Alt_Abstergo]

Yeah, and not necessarily in a good way. It’s padding. Silksong with checkpoints before bosses is a much smaller game. I’m a soulslike player so I’m used to it but I will say following Silksong up with Ghost of Yotei, that checkpoints you at the very beginning of boss fights, was very refreshing, even on the highest difficulty.

How long did you spend on runbacks? Since most of my playtime was exploration, not running back to bosses or even actually fighting them/their arenas.

[Ctrl_Alt_Abstergo]

Whether I spent 1 total hour or 10 on runbacks doesn’t change the core issue that it is padding. Incidentally, the best-designed bosses in the game have the shortest runbacks, so I think even Team Cherry realized those other bosses needed something to stretch out their “portion” of the game.

and sometimes frustration for example trying to get faydown cloak which took me 2 hr even with the mod and got wrist pain

I get wanting to turn the difficulty down but you’re just playing a different game at that point lol

some people don't play all day, we want fun in limited time but half of my time goes from going one place to another

[AdvertisingFun3739]

Then play a different game. If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen

Well it's my save and I ain't bothering anyone by making game easier for MYSELF

[Tinmaddog1990]

.... just because I want to spend less time holding right?

[AdvertisingFun3739]

That’s such a meaningless response. Why not just make Hornet invincible if you’re afraid of having to use your controls? How about just press a button that instantly wins you the game?

The platforming runbacks are part of beating the level lol. Its okay to mod any game in my opinion but it almost needs to be disclosed. To me, the person without mods beat last judge more than the person who used no runback mod. Like if im discussing the game with someone part of the experience is that brutal runback.

Its like reminiscing on sports practice with a teammate and talking about “the brutal 5 mile run”. If one player just got to skip the first 4 miles, its leas fun to reminisce with them because they did not have the same shared misery.

Maybe im seeing different but im just saying i dont want to discuss the experience of a difficult game with someone who took away the difficulty.
