The flying enemies in this game are absolute BSThey can take like 8 hits to kill, they range attack you, they fly away whej move towards them, its such BSI died more to flying enemies than i do to bosses
>>720253129Sorry anon, but you are complaining about difficulty on /v/. Some jackass will soon be in here telling you that they didn't struggle and that you are retarded.
It's one thing to make everything do 2 damage, put benches far from bosses, and such. But to have all of these flying fucks everywhere that read your inputs and slide backwards as soon as you attack is pretty bullshit. Hell tons of grounded enemies also do it.
um, sis, your tools?
>>720253345I assume the balance is the game is assuming you can fire tools at will at all times
>>720253129I didn't struggle and you are retarded.
>>720253129It's like the devs just learned about input reading and thought it was hot shit.
>>720253297>>720253129git gud>>720253253>waaa why isnt this my hugbox waaaasay it with me, out loud, and accept yourself as inferior:Skill.Issue.

>>720253389Except if you use your tools with basic mobs you run out of shards, have fun grinding for shards for 10 minutes.
>>720253452saying git gud is different than saying "what? you guys found this hard?"
>>720253452Right on cue and especially drooling.
>>720253530nobody who finds it hard (and thusly doesn't belong here) would whine about the difficult, because a challenge is defined by the suffering you endured to overcome it

I'm still on the fence about even pirating this after discovering Hornet has had sex with multiple people.>b-b-butShe's a whore if she isn't a virgin for me, fuck off with defending digital cuckoldry.
>>720253129>they fly away whej move towards themthats my biggest gripe with them on top of them constantly moving up and down so even if you attack them from below you take contact damage if they decide to suddenly dip down.
The one from your pic is pretty easy
>>720253129I don't mind anything about them other than they all are coded to be pussies.They will always just position themselves to be fair enough away so you have to use tools which is just boring when you realize every flying enemy is like this and you just have to wait for them to approach by standing still to do anything else.
>that one super long gank fight before conductors melody >90% flying enemies>fight every combination of flying enemies>fight the boss technically three timesFirst time I got mad with the game, every duo fight has been stellar aside from this
>>720253601Thank you for proving my point.
>>720253530Surprised you noticed retard
>>720253936>That one crow enemy that stays just out of reach but can immediately drop to the ground at any point
>>720253345>tools are up on the D-pad + shoulder button>instrument is a face button>can't remap tools like other controls
>>720254262While they could have used a few less hits per phase, Cogwork Dancers was pretty fun.
>>720254694>Accidentally use your skill>Now you can't even heal if you need to
>>720253129Yeah I quit the game over the flying enemies. I'm just not having fun.
>>720253129I don't have problems with flying enemies EXCEPT that like you said, they seem to input read your movement and move away the moment you move towards them. That's just dumb.
>>720255034If they do that, then make them a 1 or 2 hit kill. If they're tanky, then don't make them input read. Both is just annoying and not fun.
>install a mod that enables you to swap crests and gear at any moment>exploration suddenly becomes fun because you can get rid of shit pogos when you don't need them

Nothing about the game is "challenging" in any real sense. It's pretty much the definition of artificial difficulty; at best it's just pure annoyance. Enemies stay as far away as possible. Bosses fill up 90% of the screen with utter bullshit that you have to dodge while dodging their moves and also dodging any adds + their moves. Run backs are boring and not interesting. Enemies themselves aren't actually that hard, you're just very limited to having a small HP bar (even if you upgrade it); using the "take more damage, deal more damage" is a trap because you actually don't deal that much more damage regardless but take DOUBLE damage.It's just aggravating to play. I don't think "wow that was a fun challenge" I roll my eyes having to do a boring runback and then die to bullshit moves. No sigh of relief when I win, just "finally this shit is over".
according to /v/, not a single hard videogame has ever been createdevery anon other than you has beat the game on their first try
I genuinely think someone at TC got mad when some random told them their game was too easy and they spent the next 7 years crafting the most annoying dogshit enemies known to man
>>720254837I've done that many times. Very frustrating
>>720253129that guy is fine, fuck the bell thrower though, fucking ducks out of the way like a little bitch
>>720255476There's something uniquely pathetic about someone downloading a cheat mod to make a game easier and then instead of just accepting they weren't good enough and needed help they come up with some cope to justify it to themselves.
>>720255810They were definitely influenced by Blasphemous for Silksong, they probably heard the criticism that the bosses in Blasphemous 2 were too easy and deliberately chose to make sure that no one would have that criticism for Silksong
>>720255756filtered
>>720255986There's objectively zero reason to lock customization behind bench. Eat shit.
even the fucking instrument hornet plays costs resourcesyou can't even hear the songs the npcs singit's actually unreal how much this game fucking hates you
>run backs in SS are like 40 seconds >people whine like it's insanely longWhat causes this?
>>720256174Multiply that by the number of failed boss attempts. Multiply that by the number of bosses in the game. It stacks up.
>>720255986>weren't good enoughwhy do I keep seeing retards claim its a skill issue with things that do not require skill whatsoever? What fucking skill does he need to practice to be able to swap crests on the go?
>>720256128Yes, I know that was your cope for needing an easy mode cheat.
>>720256046If they were influenced by Blasphemous 2, you would be able to hotswap between 3 crests, the map system would be vastly superior and you had more charm slots and synergies to play with.Fuck man, silksong actually makes me want to replay blasphemous 2. Hilarious how similar they are in terms of setting and core idea.
>>720255986I accept that Team Cherry weren't good enough to understand game design in seven years.
>>720256295It's bait. Silksong is mostly hard because it limits the player's abilities to deal with situations. Just look at all the many flying enemies wanting to play keep-away while attacking you. Even worse when it's in an area with a pitfall trap of some type.It's basically old school ninja gaiden where they'll throw a random enemy at you from off screen and you got .2 seconds to react or get hit and fall into a pit and game over.
>>720255810They had 2 playtesters. The difficulty is adjusted using the input of 2 guys who grinded the fuck out of the game.
>>720256678What is it bait for? I don't understand this shit, I've been here since 2007 and it wasn't like this in the past. Every fucking thread is just obnoxious and nonsensical statements and talking down to each other and then gloating if they get a reaction of anger. For fucking what purpose? Do these faggots cash out on replies somewhere or something? There was always trolling but this is like 50% of the board at this point, it's insufferable. What the fuck is the point of trying to talk about shit if half the replies are just some buzzword salad of cope bait cringe oomer seethe what the fuck ever bullshit?
They are fucking annoying. It wouldn't be an issue at all but unless you have the right tool equipped/saving them for the boss, all you can do is bait their attack and try get some hits in. Its very tedious doing this.
Just had to spend 10 minutes farming rosaries so I could buy shards so I can attempt Unravelled again. I swear 9/10 bosses in this game have flying adds and it makes the fights utterly unenjoyable.
Speaking of Blasphemous comparisons, Silksong's OST is very subpar for a game with a central theme revolving around sound and music.
>>720256927Bait for (You)s. People say the dumbest shit for attention in this site. Just look at the dumb >you didn't beat it if you used x
>>720253129Use airlunge or hook nail to gap close. Sure they're annoying but they're also bitchmade if you just stand under them 99% of the time
>>720254262I also got mad when they made you fight two of those big niggas at once until I realized they seem to get more passive during the fight. It's always best to keep calm during fights with big enemies and just land hits slowly to punish certain moves that leave them open.
>>720256961I'm a little into act 2 and this has been the glaring problem so far. Widow, Last Judge and Lace stand out because they are well designed and one on one fights. Add bosses are pretty much always trash and should not be the norm. Silksong decides to make nearly every boss an add boss.
>>720256961Im so mad I bought this on my ps5. It be a great game with mods.
They suck at dodging most charge attacks and the beast crest pogo.
>>720256319You still need to be good with certain crests to make any use of them anyway. Just try to beat a boss using only the beast crest, I dare you.
>>720254760I think the Cogwork Dancers needed more health if anything. Great fight and the aesthetics are great, but they're really easy once you realize they sweep a bit once they hit the ground so you have to be a little farther away than you first think.
>>720257331Fuck you. 3 stage bosses need to go. I could agree with you if they got rid of that first boring stage. Same for phantom and widow.
dude should I even be donating to these pieces of shit? What do I even get? I'm tired of showering these npcs with money I don't have
>>720256961What's your farming spot? I exploit cogflies at the whiteward entrance bench. The rooms to the left have 5 enemies reallu close by, and since cogfly hp resets whenever you move between rooms, you can use one swarm of 4 to kill the enemies any amount of times. I've hit 1k rosaries in around 5 minutes with this method.
>>720257279Ye the beast crest is legit great for dealing with flyers. I just wish that using your ability during the boss intro screen didn't scam me out if my buff
>>720256927nice try newfag
>>720257654Brilliant!
>>720257563I could agree there, though i think the first phase is a bit important for setting the pace of the fight so to speak.What about....>Buff their HP>First phase has low HP>Once you've beaten Phase 1, if you have to redo the fight, you start at Phase 2 and the Phase 1 health is divided between Phase 2 and 3.Phase 4 can stay because it's supposed to be more "cinematic" in a sense.
>>720257328Beast crest isn't bad outside of missing out on two blue slots. While that is a significant disadvantage the moveset is perfectly fine.
>>720255810Some of the game feels like they were legit annoyed that people used stuff Fury + Quickslash + Flukes for bosses and Hiveblood for Path of Pain. Also killing yourself to bounce off your ghost for early upgrades.
>>720257857 >>Once you've beaten Phase 1, if you have to redo the fight, you start at Phase 2 Thats been my dream since forever.
>>720257986Its a game made for their tranny discord buds. Considering they are independent and beyond wealthy Im not even mad.

they really put so many enemies in this game that just wont let me fucking hit them
>>720259248Yes, that is what cuckoldry is.
Man its so funny seeing so many complaints about the flying enemies or the double damage of enemies in general because this is exactly what i wanted and couldnt be happier.I like metroidvanias, but 99% of the times the enemies are essentially filler content, like they look cool and add atmosphere but are empty gameplay wise. Super Metroid has no enemy outside of those 2 space pirates who can pose something even close of a threat, all the igavanias as well, with the exception of those arenas like in CotM and similar ones, you will never die to an enemy otherwise. HK suffered from the same issue, outside of this one section of the coliseum i had zero chance of dying to most enemies, they are there to look pretty at best.I wont say its the first ever, but SS is the first time for me where a metroidvania enemy roster feels like actual enemies instead of moving setpieces.
>>720260145The movesets are really good, but giving enemies evasion AND bloated hp is just annoying. Killing them takes so long that it is better to just run past them instead.
>>720260145>Super Metroid>enemies are so harmless you just run past them>Hollow Knight>enemies are so annoying you just run past themYou should be happy they listened to you, because I prefer the SM approach.If it were up to me, every Metroidvania would have "filler enemies"
>>720253129>hook onto a flying enemy>take 2 contact damagealright, I'll just sit in the cuck chair and wait for your attack animation
>>720260532I get why most people find it annoying, thanks to that very fact i mentioned a lot of people expect a metroidvania to be a breeze where you use the movement tools you get to run past rooms, sometimes pressing the attack button against something that has no moves and even if it did, would die in 1 to 3 hits at best. Like a walk in the park, its a different type of fun.>Killing them takes so long that it is better to just run past them instead.And its where the OTHER complain people have with the game that i find it funny comes to play, the battle arenas, people say there are too many of them, but they force the player to engage with the enemies when usually there is so much space and your movement is so fluid you can just skip them. I love the battle arenas as they offer a different way to tackle the already tough enemies, as before you have a lot of room to maneuver, arenas tend to be tiny so you have to make the best with the space you get and learn the spacing of the attacks of the enemies well as well as your own, its awesome.>>720260780Its fine, i understand if you think so as you can see above, a lot of people just love sprinting through metroidvania's worlds with unique and fun traversal options, ignoring anything in their way.SM is among my top10 favorite games of all time so i really do get the sentiment.
>design enemies with a unique and interesting moveset>make them have a huge health peal>make them deal a lot of damage>best option is to avoid them>best option the player has to get money is repeatedly farm weak enemiespinnacle of game design
>Beastfly can just outright go off of your screen and then adjust it's vertical position before launching forward
>>720263338I just fought that thing. Insane how they manage to make a dogshit fight even more vile.
>>720257652that one gives you a house you can decorate
>>720257652>What do I even get?Actual spoiler. The true ending.
>>720264282there's a fucking refight in far fields, where you fight fourth chorus.yes, it breaks the platforms.its adds are all the same flying lava spitter that deals two projectile damage and takes three hits AFTER YOU'VE UPGRADED THE NEEDLE THREE TIMESim genuinely tempted to cheat for this one because what the hell man this is genuinely just the worst add boss, wasnt entertaining the first time and its still not the second time.
>>720256961the only add boss i enjoyed was enraged conchfly because its adds exist to enhance the attacks rather than shit up the arena.
>every enemy is primal aspid, snipes you perfectly across the map, takes 50 hits to die, and hits you for 2
>>720253253I highly recommend aggressively filtering words that assclown posters regularly use. It's worth catching some good posts in the crossfire if it raises the overall pleasantness of the site.
>>720253129I'm surprised by how many variations of Primal Aspid they made in this game, but at least you can reflect some of their ranged attacks by hitting them. That made Sinner's Road and Blasted Steps a little more tolarable
