For dumb idiots like yourselves no game can be hard enough to the point it is unbalanced. It's a bullet hell game and you die in one hit? It's your fault, I'm a good player, I never die, it's balanced for me!!

Like nobody cares tryhards. If the game is objectively unbalanced then it should be criticized.

because theyre both subjective and nebulous complaints
what is "too hard" or even "hard"?
What is hard for you may not be hard for me or vice versa, and for different reasons, maybe I struggle with reaction times, and so a slower pace would be easier, but maybe you struggle with predicting paths and dodging shit but the speed is fine, or, whatever.
Its a pointless debate because even with an easy mode, it may or may not even fix what I found hard, same for you, or vice versa.
AND thats ignoring "hard isnt bad, people like hard games, people like challenge, people engage with it more, people remember it more, its more satisfying to win"

as for mechanics poorly explained... says who?
the people who cant read? the people who REFUSE to explore? test? verify? Experiment?
I remember when DSP said dark souls was poorly explained despite a button, being on screen, telling him what to press for more advice. If other people didnt have an issue at all, then it wasnt poorly explained, it was poorly recieved by morons who grew up being spoonfed and cant think for themselves (You)

and... what is wrong with not explaining something? some people like discovery, like mystery, like hidden mechanics.

you people just say something is bad, without actually explaining why its objectively bad. Ignoring it was never objective to begin with.
theres 1000s of easy games that spoonfeed, 99.9% of them do.
Let people have a challenge that respects the player to figure shit out.

faggot.

>The difficulty curve of Silksong is fucked up. It's really disappointing to see damage sponges and 3 mask hits before you even have one health upgrade.
you arent supposed to go to hunters march that early, nigger, the damage youre taking is supposed to key you in to turn around and come back later you dumb, dumb motherfucking mouthbreather.

of course, the option is there for people with the SKILL to not get hit as a way to do a different progression, probably on repeat playthroughs, just like... HOLLOW KNIGHT!

Except (according to OP) 9 out of 10 people did not find it "too hard" or "unbalanced", twitch streamers are the bottom of the barrel IQ wise and they don't have those problems, which means the problem lies with the retard who can't read, or shit at platformers.

>early reviews when it fits my narrative

youre not wrong, steam should seperate and flag reviews that are below X%, maybe 50%, of the games main story playtime (as asserted by the dev at launch, and later adjusted by data from players)
no one should be talking about value 2 hours into a 20+ hour game
but then, you cant ignore the need for "buggy game, is a scam, do not buy" ones either

steam doesnt do "x/y" scores. just a yes or a no review.

who cares what they SAY or if they meme or not, thats a minority of posts.
did they enjoy the game or not is all that matters, only a dumb nigger READS steam reviews to form oppinions for themselves kek

After playing trough few areas and reading reviews there is one point I can agree with most of them- rosaries are far too scarce(at least for me, im in sixth area)
I didn't lost them even one and traverse every area however I can. With this much I was only able to buy benches/fast travel 2 charms and one upgrade, thats all.
I get it, they wanted to make it less farmable, but they could have put some as rewards for optional quests or drop from bosses

>>719858919

Devs are their own biggest fans and learned absolutely nothing from Hollow Knight's mistakes.

Playing SIlksongs feels awful. All enemies take over 10 hits to kill. No damage upgrades anywhere. Everything costs money, everything is too limited, it just sucks the life out of you. If they had a single real person actually test this they would have learned it, but all their testers were team mebers or rabid HK fans.
>>
>>719860819
i hated that boss. the pogo section before was already testing my patience with the silk cocoon spawning at the end, but then the boss can easily take 4 masks of damage because he's so big that by the time the post hit invincibility wears of you're still inside his hitbox

Probably they took too long to develop it. So all the mistakes that are glaringly obvious to anyone picking up the game for the first time, are something that was second nature to the devs 5 years in.
>slow start feels like a slog
>no movement ability until hours into the game
>everything costs currency even basic map features
>currency can be lost, which incentivizes boring currency grind to unlock basic things like map markers or the map

I mean, I am only 5~ h in so far, and even the level design could be better, not that its super problematic, but 3h in you get fucking hundreds of precise jumps as a requirement to progress, do you enjoy diagonal pogo? Well you better, the game after 3h is a lot of it. This would be ok late game, when the players got good at it, but having to do a 2-3 minute jumping session just to die to a boss/arena fight and then redoing the whole jumping session... jesus christ.
Also fuck the giant ass area without any save spot that ends with a bench that is booby trapped.

A good game should be challenging but rewarding
A good game should allow multiple play styles which mean players who are not as good can still play and players who are really good still get a challenge
A good combat game should have easy to learn fighting mechanics but difficult to master
Silksong has none of these.

Hornet 1in Hollow knight was a common filter that people would bring up in their negative reviews about that game and all she does is slowly walk back and forth, do a distinct audio que and then do 1 of like 4 attacks based on that audio que. Some people are just fucking retarded and their opinions about balance should not be considered.
