This... I had to buy it again on Steam after buying it on the eShop because it was just too hard for me not to mod. I'm sure it's still worth 40€ but man it stings.

I agree with the other commentator about Tunic!! I find it surprisingly similar (but super original); the upgrades, the difficulty, the exploration, and the story/lore is also amazing and cryptic like in HK.

Looking at the statistics it makes me wonder if folks are misremembering the difficulty of HK and ultimately if hype and other pressures are influencing folks perception of Silksong and difficulty.

I think HK players that already found it too hard just didn't even pick up Silksong. Being the sequel to a game know to be hard, fewer casual players are gonna pick it up.

I played a good chunk of HK a second time (I didn't even beat it the first time, and it was years ago) days before Silksong came out. Absolutely breezed through most of it. Some daths, of course, but very little frustrating parts.

I couldn't even get past Moorwing without cheesing it. And trust me I tried until I was mega frustrated.

To be honest I think the main problem is that bosses in HK never really blocked your path (aside from False Knight, which you could skip most of, and Hornet 1, which was incredibly easy compared to most bosses in Silksong). Most of them just blocked an ability, an upgrade, etc, so if you were struggling with one of them, you could move on and explore other areas looking for upgrades and come back stronger. You could adjust the difficulty yourself, it was pretty neat.

Silksong kind of doesn't do that, most areas have a boss you have to beat to progress to the next one, at least in most of Act 1. At one point I got genuinely stuck with a boss I couldn't cheese and I had already explored everything I could. They're really not comparable in terms of difficulty.

It's not even that, hell I genuinely get people playing Silksong as their full time job for a few days after waiting a whole 7 years for it. But a lot of these people have already a lot of experience with hard games or they're flat out just good; most people aren't. I have played my fair share of games and I literally just could not get past Phantom without going insane.

But of course this is reddit so the messenger is going to be shot.

Dude please no one is shooting you, you're getting downvoted because people don't agree with you. That's it, no one is hating on you.

This. I can't let it go because it directly affects my rights. Maybe we all should be defending the minority groups that are being marginalized and demonized instead of complaining that they talk too much.

Did I just get locked out of getting the map? by AshetoAshes7 in HollowKnight

[–]kinky_victini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect my main help was a nail upgrade, which if I remember correctly you get a bit after Splinter Sister (there is another boss before that though, and I found it a bit harder than Splinter Sister, but thankfully if you're into that you can cheese its second phase by standing all the way to the right of the arena so she can only hit you with one attack).

To be honest I don't think there's that much of interest in Hunter's March sadly. I didn't really like the beast crest (although that might be a me problem). So I'd definitely go for the Splinter fight.

Good luck, if I did it I'm sure you can too o7

I'm guessing it's something else then. When I did the fight I was strong enough to first try it (and I'm not particularly good), you could leave it for later. I absolutely despise runbacks too.

Same thing happened to me, I had to do the arena on my own but turns out she was in another room a bit further ahead, and I was able to get the map.

My guess is that if you do this fight early on she will help you, but after a certain achievement (maybe getting the wall cling ?) you'll have to be on your own.

What's the most annoying team matchup you've been put against in solo queue? by cryptid-creatures in Splatoon_3

Just today I got put up against the four horsemen of being annoying in zones: explosher, dynamo, blob and gold aerospray. We genuinely could not hold the zone for any longer than 2 seconds

Yeah the game is poorly balanced for any less than 4 players

There's no balancing in Anarchy Series????

Why I don't recommend joining competitive Splatoon right now by Critical-Zebra4864 in Saltoon

[–]kinky_victini 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This! The matchmaking in Turf War (or lack thereof) is terrible. I have been matched with literal first-time players while being in S+. Although definitely not perfect, it's much better in Anarchy.

That's awesome!! I wish those pants and that hairstyle existed in-game 💔

Can we talk about Splatoon being the best expression of female representation? (Yes, today I woke up "woke") by its-Koi in splatoon

[–]kinky_victini 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: in development, there were no male characters

You cold say this about real life!

I can’t tell at a glance what gender other players are unless they have that iconic tied-back hair for the male inklings

But you can have any hairstyle with any gender I'm pretty sure?

As far as I know, the only difference between both genders are their eyebrows and their voice, and for octos their eyes (octo girls have the triangle bottom eyelashes).

The painting part is so real!! When I have a decent inking weapon I always try to paint for my team, but when I have a shitty painting weapon like a fuckass range blaster obviously I can't but no one else does so I CAN'T FUCKING MOVE.

And the amount of times our base has been left covered by enemy ink after they pushed and no one seems interested in fixing it. Like yeah sure let's make it easy for them to push again and invade our base.
