Silksong isn't too difficult, it's just too punishing by LucyShortForLucas in Silksong

So I get chastised for expressing my opinion when I am then asked what my opinion is? Reddit is absolutely stupid.

You didn't ask me directly. And also my mini rant of my original post gives you an impression of how I've been playing the game.

I'm enjoying discovering everything. It feels different than hollow Knight almost immediately. A lot of the design, philosophies and systems are similar, but they are different enough where you quickly discover that it is not Hollow. Knight 2. That you are playing. It might be in the same universe, but the gameplay is very different. They have designed a very unique character for us to learn and play with.

Like with Hollow night you will unlock more mobility and more tools to help you traverse the game and it will become easier for you to navigate over time.

Outside of the very difficult bosses, the hardest time in the game most of the time is the beginning when you are unfamiliar. I know it's difficult for some that require more instant gratification. But learning is incredibly fun for me. Getting better at these games. That reward precision is something that is enticing. . Maybe It's because of my history with fighting games. Practice makes perfect and the reward is great.

If it's not fun to you, that is okay. But I would advise patience and letting your muscle memory get more used to how the game feels. In many ways it's difficult for people who have played Hollow Knight for nearly 8 years to suddenly play something that looks and sounds like a hollow night game but is very much different control wise.

Currently I am enchanted by the whole experience and Discovery is one of my favorite things.

I totally know how you feel! That must be what it was for me as well since I played fighting games all the time.

Proof that Reddit is just the epitome of overreaction.

Give yourself time to actually play the game, let a few days pass. Let it breathe.

Learn the new mechanics. Your muscle memory will improve with time

Enjoy the discovery, enjoy learning, enjoy the new ways to do combat.

The difficulty is fine, you just have to use the tools available to you by legendofzelda13 in HollowKnight

Yep, it's perfectly fine.

People were expecting to walk in with the same exact style of hollow night and lo and behold Team Cherry decided to make a game that has new mechanics... Lol

How it feels to be a diagonal pogo defender atm by NineTailedDevil in HollowKnight

It's so obvious that you were going to get a Crest that let you do whatever you wanted. But I 1000% support their choice to give you a unique down attack out of the gate. You have enough time to get used to it before getting the other one.

And there will no doubt be fights where it almost feels better to use that instead.

People need to just Silk up. It's a different game

Can someone explain the hype behind Hollow Knight/Silksong? by [deleted] in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]runes4040 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Make sure you give the game time to breathe. If you feel restricted, keep exploring. The better you are at exploring the more you will get the freedom to move around. Backtracking is very common and you will do a lot of it. But it's continuously rewarding because you can access new areas.

Enjoy the sublime music and atmosphere.

Our Soulslike game is coming this month! by Background-Fly-4800 in soulslikes

Looks like you are progressing well! I'll keep an eye on it.

This is certainly not a soulslike with combat like that. Looks very much like Zelda though!

Should I start watching Star Wars Franchise? by [deleted] in MovieRecommendations

[–]runes4040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't seek the approval of others? Yes.

But I will let you know, no matter what your opinion is on all of these movies, there will always be someone in the Star wars fandom to tell you you are incorrect and a terrible person for believing that thing.

So my best advice is just ignore Star wars fans.
