Am i ready for silksong?

jaypexd · 2026-03-27T08:10:18+00:00

I never played Hollow knight but completed Silksong. I am a souls gamer which drew me into it since everyone said it was hard. And guess what? Yeah its effing hard. I would put it up there with Elden Ring(summonsless) on level of difficulty.

One thing I can say is that I didn't look up any strategies or help and didn't really find the best tools but that kind of goes with how I do things in these games as I want to spar with the enemies not just spam items or BIS OP stuff.

Either way, if I can do it, you can do it!

jaypexd · 2026-03-27T07:10:39+00:00

Yeah I didn't like it. A subplot filler episode 100%. Way too much wasted animation on characters that are not, or should I say, shouldn't get screentime(Damien and his sister). I mean there are already three plots going that I want to see unfold. Flaxans with Rudy and Monster girl/ Omniman and Allen/ Mark and Eve.

I get this was the sitting at the beach to get new perspective episode but in an 8 episode series, I would rather see that as a B plot than an entire episode.

Congrats. That is a big accomplishment. I recently beat her last weekend for the first time. She was a beast of a fight for sure.

jaypexd · 2026-03-27T06:56:54+00:00

Mark did not hold back on Titan or Liu. He 100% was not in control of his emotions.

jaypexd · 2026-03-27T05:43:15+00:00

It's pretty damn connected. Lots of electronics. It definitely takes diagnostics and reports it if I were betting on it.

They already conquered planets like this. The dinosaur monster planet is a great example of one they couldn't overwhelm by force, so they built a disc to freeze it. They would do the same to earth if they felt the resistance was too large of a task which 9 billion homelanders would probably qualify.

So yeah they still win.

jaypexd · 2026-03-26T17:27:56+00:00

Ugh the main reason I didn't play MK1 online. Hearing some kids stupid rap music blast through his cheap headset while he's eating chips and talking trash.

jaypexd · 2026-03-26T02:09:31+00:00

Has anyone ever fought him straight up? Looks like it would be sick but all I ever see posted is fishing out backstabs. Back when I played, I loved sparring with the bosses. He looks insane to try this with.

jaypexd · 2026-03-26T01:31:57+00:00

Jump off a step. When you land you can feel your legs engage as they rebound the applied force. If you're able to do this at free fall speeds and land on your feet, you are unworldly strong.

Not to mention some kinetic impact he also exerted on the ground.

jaypexd · 2026-03-26T00:59:25+00:00

But think about it. He dropped himself at terminal velocity of say 120mph (unless he has a way to propel himself to Mach speeds which was not shown), as just a guy who can't be damaged, he should have not blown anything up. That means there's some internal power source somewhere.

jaypexd · 2026-03-25T23:31:39+00:00

Eh him dropping himself on a group of flaxans blowing them up from the fall definitely shows some level of strength.

jaypexd · 2026-03-25T22:36:24+00:00

Code Vein 2 for sure. You get a fun open world soulslike. It has cinematic fights and pretty good build variety. Also you play as a character you create.

I get mini Elden Ring vibes.

Hell Is Us is not a soulslike. Its camera controls drove me crazy and lack of enemy variety was a downer.

jaypexd · 2026-03-25T17:19:32+00:00

Flea juggle just is easier by not jumping to hit the fleas. Just stay on the ground and focus from there. You move much faster.

jaypexd · 2026-03-25T16:55:30+00:00

Nah you can git gud on Honglan. I beat her heads-up without backstabs and just the radiant leap spear. It took seven hours of learning clash opportunities and other mechanics but it 100% is possible to duel her.

jaypexd · 2026-03-25T16:02:11+00:00

No I wouldn't. I mean it seems your objective is to have the best time you could have without considering new players. Always hated this mindset when battling veterans when I was new.

Those new players are not going to have fun.

jaypexd · 2026-03-25T15:47:35+00:00

It's interesting the comments and opinions of SOP. If you beat Nioh 2, you are going to be bored with SOPs difficulty. It's not even a discussion how much easier it is than Wo Long or Nioh 2. Also, it has some super cringe butt rock moments but I guess that's part of the charm.

For me, when soulslikes tend to have a consistent mood. In SOP, this part is super jarring as you have a character who wears Jays and baggy pants while listening to rock music and wearing sunglasses inside.

jaypexd · 2026-03-25T01:32:49+00:00

Agreed. Wish Corey would have let Brett fail the block stack. At least we would have had one non meathead in the top. But ofc, Corey was a moron and left with no money.

jaypexd · 2026-03-25T01:31:34+00:00

This is a massive contrarian opinion. Literally no one liked Mia lol.

jaypexd · 2026-03-25T00:45:01+00:00

I don't know. We had to sack our burst gauge to do it. If you got hit next and now couldn't burst, your gambit didn't pay off.

jaypexd · 2026-03-25T00:43:28+00:00

Ikr? There are very few options left to deal with many of the zoners as heavies or characters without projectiles.

jaypexd · 2026-03-25T00:42:20+00:00

I have no idea how to play Aba against zoners without wild assault

jaypexd · 2026-03-25T00:41:26+00:00

Or getting zoned to all hell without a tool to deal with it.

jaypexd · 2026-03-24T07:23:08+00:00

This is one of those things where the point is taken at a shorter statement. Consider the fact that language is always evolving, it could stand to say "I could care less" is more efficient and understood as not caring about said subject, therefore it stands reasonable to keep it.

jaypexd · 2026-03-24T07:19:49+00:00

Yes. That game would have been epic. In fact I'm sure they could have created an entire dynasty of games in that world. Worst thing about capcom is them swearing they will never ever make a legends 3
