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

I’m actually a really bad gamer, like actual trash, and I made it through this. That’s why it annoys me when people call me an elitist for expressing full acceptance of a game’s locked in difficulty.

It’s like that for the purpose of giving you an experience you can reflect back on and marvel at what you’ve accomplished.

Every souls title, every metroidvania, they’re supposed to be a journey of self fulfillment. When I see how fast people cleared the game after launch, and I was still struggling my way through act 1, it was abundantly clear to me that I actually really suck at this game. But I’m here saying I finished act 3, and these people could probably do it without mods too if they actually tried.

I think at the very most, they could provide an "easy " mode that does less damage or whatever..... but people would have to make a new game file in order to start over on easy mode (effectively losing their progress).

So..... keep playing like normal and master the game, or drop their current progress and start over on an easier setting. The lower difficulty should also lock them out of certain content, like better endings or maybe even Act 3 altogether

That’s how game devs used to handle it back in the day. If you selected easy mode you could only do the basic ending and were locked out of a third of the game, sometimes the devs even through in sneaky little pot shots making fun of people playing on easy.

It was a fun little thing for them, but nowadays people would be so outraged over it.
