it aint the difficulty, because most of it just frustrating and tedious small things that just annoy you. Ninesols is easily more difficult, but people love all of it, because it doesnt waste your time for no reason. Silksong is just bad design in a mediocre game. They learned nothing on what made HK bad and double down on the bad parts.

You can actually pinpoint the moment game design forever took a turn for a worse when it comes to difficulty, and it's when Fromsoft mistook memes for reviews, and got high on their own supply during the window of time when Dark Souls achieved moderate success in the west.

Something must've gotten lost in translation back then, because they clearly took those jokes about YOU DIED, Sen's Funhouse, or the comics poking fun at how hard the skeletons next to firelink would beat the kind of player who'd assume them to be weak because they're right next to the start, at complete face value. And then they just kinda ran with the mistaken thought that people weren't poking fun at how DaS played with expectations, and would sometimes throw you for a loop, but instead enjoyed being brutalized by the game constantly surprising them with cheap shots and inflated damage/HP numbers, which increasingly became the design philosophy for those games going forward, and then became the design philosophy for every game with aspirations of being "difficult".

I sometimes wonder what games would look like now had Miyazaki not been an idiot, and just taken away from those memes what they were supposed to convey. The enjoyment of not having your hand held every step of the way, of traversing a world that doesn't feel like it's trying to accommodate you, of having to be attentive, of being allowed to actually make mistakes. I think games would be much different, and much better off.

You can tell they put all their attention into the design of the movement, the world, etc. This game does platforming, action, and exploration (not to mention story) all so well that it might be the best game in multiple platforming subgenres.
This is one of those cases where a developer made a game that iterates on something I played as a kid, but they also put the amount of effort into it justified by their budget and the superior tech of the 2020s. That's what this is, it's like a classic SNES platformer except bigger and better in every way.

Agreed, the problem is Fromdrones and Soulstards think injecting their mechanics into everything is the peak of design.

They don't even realize the hypocrisy of telling others complaining about difficulty that "this game isn't for them".

The problem is that we have different experiences. This game isn't that hard and you don't know that because you haven't played the same games I have. By the same turn, I think arcade games are hard but there's people who have different experiences and find them normal.
>>
>>720202846
I thought the same, but I just started hollow knight and I'm having more fun than I thought I would. The way people talked about it made me expect unskippable cutscenes and dozens of wall of text about lore I'm not gonna care about immediately, but it's like 99% gameplay right from the start.

It doesn't feel significantly more difficult than the first game to me.

Also what is with people resigning themselves to their bodies deteriorating in their 30s/40s- it's pathetic. No your reflexes/reaction times have not degraded you are just fat and lazy

Silksong is difficult independent of you being good at using the mechanics or not.
If anything you have to be very good at using them to turn the game from ballbusting to just challenging. And it expects you to be pretty close to a master at them all.

but anon, you do reset at checkpoint near boss
unless you got filtered by not being able to find bench locations
>the enemies have bloated HP
upgrade nail
>do 1/3rd of your health
find mask shards
>with combos that can instantly send you from full to 0
learn attack patters and punish timings
>respawns all the enemies(gay platforming obstacles optional)
you'd have to have parkinsons
>makes you run the same path, again, because lol tedium
2-3 screens most often

that's all assuming you actually played the game and aren't baiting with the most shit of takes
