This is totally fair and good game design
I won't lie, I've died like that multiple times. good game though.
It's not supposed to be fair. It's a dick-ass trap set by dick-ass ants. Once you know to expect them, you're supposed to pay more attention to your environment and nootice them before you set them off.
>>720093441The game is kind enough to show you there is something on the ground there so it does seem rather fair
>get near the end of hunters march with the trap bench>spent all that time and effort just to realize I dont even have whatever upgrade I need to progress even furtheryes im fuckin gmad
>>720093441>see switch on the ground, step on it>get fucked in the face, panic and stop movingdoubly avoidable, but you lost nothing; the only consequence is 30 seconds of lost time
>>720093795You can disarm it.
>>720093795>See that you need float>Fine>Come back with float>Now you need wall jumpKek

>>720093795It connects to Deep Docks at the end as well so you didn’t “waste time”, it’s just a harder way to Docks than going directly from Marrow.
>>720093848>>720093951the bench isnt the problem
Sounds to me like a bunch of you need to go back to animal crossing where you belong.
>>720093441Tough luck, maybe play a better game
>>720093882You can do the room above the bench (with the boss and spearchucker) by luring the flying ant up and bouncing off of it, then bouncing off the second one that comes down to get to the floor above. It's fucking miserable to execute though
>>720093441Heheh... bugged.
>>720093945i tell people i'm adventurer 1 but actually it's just that i've played this game before
>>720093613nooooticing
>>720093441>death animation is the protagonist going REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE at the top of its lungs in its dying momentsthey know their audience
>>720093441Don't worry anon there is a bench not too far ahead!
>>720093441>activate a trap>have about 4 business days to do something>instead cosplay as Angel Hernandez>gets hit and complainsyeah totes bro this game sucks donkey nuts
>>720093945>viraljesus this is old
>>720096774all the more proof that nothing's changed
>>720093441nigga u blind
>>720093945Silksong is more like>see pressure plate>a-ha, a trap!>press pressure plate, back off>trap misses>see second pressure plate>to-go, another trap! nice try!>press pressure plate, back off>spike trap triggers behind you, fucks your ass>see third pressure plate>not this time!>jump over pressure plate>land on second one immediately behind it>room explodesThey don't even iterate on traps, they just immediately subvert them, it's funny
>>720098097The traps telegraph where the damage is going to come from retard. You have a million years to get out of the way when one activates.
>>720093441>IF i JUST MINDLESSLY HOLD -> NOTHING BAD WILL HAPPEN
>>720093441god steel soul mode is gonna be so brutal in this game. You'll have to quit to menu at 4 masks other wise you could get hit by a 2-mask enemy into a 2-mask environmental hazard
>>720094124Animal crossing takes more discipline than this game & elden ring thougheverbeit
>>720099414Fragile mask will make cheesing steel trivial.
>>720093441
>>720093441Get fucked lmao>didn't even post the 3 damage trap above the bench
>>720101121for me it's the air fans blowing up her dress
>>720093613I'm not paying 20 bucks to play Catmario.
>>720093945the left cant meme
>>720101336cat mario is kino
>>720093441Have you tried not walking into the trap
the constant noise of implication that this game is super hard and therefore worth my interest as a red blooded gamer will not trick me. you will not get my money marketing vampires. i will not play your game. i will not engage in your attention economy.
>>720102032Good because it's not hard, /v/ is just full of casuals
>>720102280i'm not buying it. i'm not playing it. i'm not discussing it.
>>720093945This happened as well when Hollow Knight first released. Just watch, as soon as people finish the game and call these people retarded for struggling at the game, they're going to switch tactics and find some other bullshit to farm (You)s with. It's already happening right now with some /v/irgins having fake meltdowns over Hornet talking about having sex.
>>720102345you failed at the last one, weirdo.
>>720093441You can see the pressure plate beforehand dummy.
>>720102525i'm not buying it. i'm not playing it. i'm not discussing it.
>>720093441streamers and streamerbait content are the biggest blight upon game design in the last 10 years. HAHA GUYS DID YOU SEE THAT? THIS GAME IS FUCKING NotLikeThis GUYS!!
>CogworkCore
>>720093441you can see the pressure plate on the floor, and there's an animation & sound when you step on it giving you enough time to dodge out of it
how do they do ithow do they keep throwing even worse flying enemies at you
>>720101336kek
>>720102716Just wait until you reach The space above the cradle.
>>720093441yes it is.open your eyes.
>>720093795>>720093882>>720093978where was that? I don't remember needing anything to get to the docks from march
>>720102489>It's already happening right now with some /v/irgins having fake meltdowns over Hornet talking about having sex.The idea of some autist actually feeling betrayed because a bug in a skirt has a bodycount is so funny that I don't mind those threads
>think ive finally clear the map and can move on from act 2>find a breakable wall/hidden path i missed>leads to an entite new fucking areaTHIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES NOW. Fuck this game unironically has too much content
>>720093945I miss the time when playing a souls game you got to make fun of retards playing recklesslynowadays "if you use a shield you didn't beat the game" because being a reckless idiot is the main audience of these games and the ironic "git gud" became a fucking worldwide mantra
>>720093795>>720093882Just do a double ant pogo. I did it once. And then died up there. With all my rosaries. So I had to do it again to get my shit back.
Hey asshole, try jumping over the trap or jumping over the spikes instead of facetanking everything like a mouthbreathing braindead lobotomized mongoloid
>>720093441No it's pure evil troll design and it's great.I like unsafe games like this. I didn't hate this shit in DS/ER that much either unless it happened a billion times in a row because of jank.It's not like the dogs that grab you despite being a dog height away from it. You can actually avoid this trap next time.
>>720114160Those guys are easy once you realize you just bait the jump, get a hit in, back off, repeat.
>>720093768I prefer pure evil completely unfair traps 2bh. They're fucking traps, not donkey kong throwing a barrel at you. You're not meant to see them and it's meant to piss you off a bit. Then you learn a path around them. Or you should get something to make them become visible, to motivate you to use mechanics and find things that make traps easier to find.MGS1 is the best game for this with hidden claymores.1. it makes them feel like REAL traps in real life which you normally can't see at all2. you use workarounds and gadgets (Thermal goggles, Mine detectors) to work around what you can't see, which is kinda neato and fun, it becomes a minor puzzle and disarming them feels like an achievementIn SS, disarming traps can kinda be fun. Kinda. But they're also very obvious and that makes me ashamed when I get caught.
>>720093945In SS it's often the opposite and I learn to run FAST through gauntlets to get through traps better. It's a viable strat.>so fast the traps are not even a problem
>>720101121Now THIS pissed me off.>no Lace bathing scene where she gets caught without her fleece on and gets mad at itThis is even after you get in the caravan's bath and get spied on by the owner and punish him for peeking.I was expecting retrospective kino here.
>>720105338They give you heaps of time.But not when you're just starting, you learn how much time the game gives you eventually and you sense actually get sharper.My sense were blunt as during HK and never really got much better.Not the same with SS. I feel like I get better with this game, despite not beating things a lot of the time.
>>720105597These suck ass.They're great.>re-enter the area>they're never in the same positionThis is pure evil too.
>>720111390Eh, this game punishes conservative playing too though.It punishes both and says "you need to master it first". If you play fast and reckless, you gotta nail it. If you play conservative, you gotta nail it.Souls has a bad habit of making one strat too overpowered of the whole game. This game kinda forces you to either master your main strat or try something new (but even then, you need to master the new strat too and often that requires relearning shit).
>>720114160roaches are easy to deal with, they have clear different starting animations for their single or double lunge attack
Lost another 400 rosaries to trying to rush to arena. I want to kill myself.What's a good place to farm rosaries in the early game? Just reached the haunted bell town
>>720115205Yeah, but the box is actually jank on it.It's the only one I've had that issue with so far.It will grab you so far from it that it reminds me of Souls enemies that pull you from nowhere through objects.It's actually bugged and needs an animation fix to make that hitbox make more sense (not a hitbox fix, it's better keeping it hard).I will have to check this though. It happened a couple times. I was nearly half a Hornet away from them and they weren't even in jump animation.
You got a visual warning and more than half a second to escape it, skill issue

"Oh. Oh that's bad. TC will probably have to apologise.Thank god it's not CCCP.I wonder if Japan has the same issue. Everywhere else loves the game so I suspect that's the issue.
>The current Chinese translation of Silksong sounds like that infamous "restoration" of Ecce Homo.Red Candle Games clearly sabotaged it. We've been had.
>>720093945>shieldydbtg
Every trap in the game is meant to be sprinted through. I haven't found a trap yet that isn't instantly defeated by running through it. Lazy design to be honest.
>>720115323If you run left from there there are 4 enemies that drop rosaries pretty much directly in front of you, go down into the mosstown and there is more, sit on a bench, go backwards, repeat. You'll get 300 in like 5 minutes.
>>720116190>encouraging the player to go fast and get good at going fast and being able to reflex out of the way of obstaclesIt's tricky at first, but then you just get into the zone and it clicks. Your brain does something.This happens to me in sports too.
>>720114160Before I had even fought one of these I already knew they'd be this games lower undead burg dogs moment.
>>720093795what is a metroidvania
>>720101121This is fun. I found this place but maybe too late for this event, and now I'm way too far ahead to see it anymore. When does it trigger?
>Rescue Pill>Courier wishesone time was enough for this kind of quest in HKwhat have they done
>>720093441I'm completely ok with this because it was a small area that was designated as the bully zone in it's flavor/design.
