Anyone else hit credits for the basic ending and just not care about the "secret" Act 3? Is Act 3 better or just more of the same "memorize the animations" boss fights?
No
>>723853968Really?
>>723853968Based.
>>723853761act 3 is pretty mehyou're missing out on one cool boss fight and that's iti really wish i could say "oh my god dude you HAVE to do act 3" but no you really don'tunfinished game
>>723854507That's what I'm anticipating; I enjoyed enough of it for the price, but thinking of leaving it for a year of patches/updates/announcements and doing another more complete run leading up to a DLC release or something.
>>723854795if you plan to play the DLC then yeah just wait until then
Not unless you want to fight the same boring bosses you fought in acts 1 and 2.
Act 3 was a flop
>>723853761I played it blind and loved Act 3. It's just more game to play. do you enjoy playing the video game?
There are girl streamers who have been playing their "1st playthrough" for over one month now. Do you know what they all have in common? They're all still sticking with the Reaper crest. :^)
>>723853761I did act 3 and kind of regret it, it soured me on the gameI thought about calling it a day at the end of act 2 because the entire second half is the game at its best but I decided to continue and yeah, act 3 is sort of shit, best parts for me were probably the platforming sections (escape from the abyss and the climb to the surface)
>>723853761act 3 sucks ass and actively makes the game worse. avoid it,
The only exceptionally good Act3 boss is Karmelita, right? Mantis Prince is good, but it's just more of the Cog Dancers.
>>723857589karmelita is the best one yeah but even here is kind of ruined by the time wasters before you fight her, the whole memory system is a pain in the ass
>>723857589yeah, it's karmelitaseth and nyleth are jokes, jobber king needs no introduction, clover dancers are just cogwork dancers but less interesting, and lost lace is genuinely less of a boss than her fucking vfx spam isi do have a soft spot for tormented trobbio but he's just trobbio again so he doesn'r really count
>>723857373which girl streamers? tell me so I can enjoy too
>I hated fighting the radiance in HK because I had to go around to collect dream essence which is boringthis is how you soundnext time don't spoil the game for yourself because you can't stay out of your social media circle for a couple of weeks
>>723857373I stuck to the Hunter Crest
>>723853968I'm more impressed that you got all achievements in just 200 hours, that's about as much as it's taken me to just feel comfortable to even attempt the speedrun achievement kek
>>723853761>"memorize the animations" boss fightsThis has been action games since the dawn of time, lmao.stick to turn based rpgs if you don't enjoy learning the animations.
>>723858074thisthat goes double for the idiots going>i don't wanna do flea games but i need the weapon upgradeyou shouldn't even KNOW it gives the last weapon upgrade ya pinhead, stop spoiling yourself
>>723858114That was actually the last one I got. The others were fairly easy because I could still play slow and carefully.
>>723858074I didn't get spoiled on too much aside from Act 3 existing, all I know about accessing it is the snail at the citadel village called out to me after I reloaded from the credits. But yeah sucks being spoiled on high tier releases, even if I'm pretty lukewarm on SS at the end here.
>>723858709>aside from Act 3 existingwhich was possibly the biggest>OH SHITmoment I had with the game going through it blindpoint being, if you actively and willingly spoil yourself your opinion is worthless : it's like watching a poirot movie knowing who the killer is beforehand and then claiming it was boring>But yeah sucks being spoiled on high tier releasesye I guess, find a better strategy not to be next time
>>723858074>I'm a fromtranny and a brown favela monkey ook ook eeeek eeeeekthis is how you sound
Act 3 is kino.
>>723859685>zoomer is incapable of conceptualizing the fact one can enjoy things without having to constantly share them with otherswoman brain in action
>>723859370I was completely pure until Last Judge, was being careful not to get spoiled from anywhere, but I'm one of those anons that fell into the pit of exasperation Cherry decided to patch up two days too late - I looked around for solace in my anger, and got some spoils.
>>723858074>trvth nvketrvth nvke, tards ruined their own experience without even knowing it. a typical zoomzoom moment
>>723860323I didn't spoil myself at all and thought act 3 was subpar what now you retarded jeet
>>723861389it's bonus content : it can be subpar all you want, it's still bonus contentyou're just a low IQ retard falling into the same old psychological trap of>ending and peak is all that matters, fuck the averagetiring
>>723854507The fake "ACT 3 is meh" narrative pisses me off.>Karmelita>a varied and fun as fuck 4 room gauntlet in the Coral Tower (with a shortcut after room 3, so no bitching) and an easy, but fun and original boss>Cogwork Dancers 2.0, the one fight nearly everyone wanted to replay instantly after beating it and it's just as fun with a new twist to keep it fresh>Fun as hell flea games, which aren't that hard, unless you are an instant gratification baby who ragequits after losing 3 times on level 2 in Tetris>Nyloth with her unique mostly aerial fight>Seth going full Captain America with his shield>the Red Memory>an actually challenging final boss with a 100% counterable moveset once you learn itLiterally kino.Void enemies give a moderate challenge to anyone who has unlocked all tools and powers in act 2, because regular enemies and even some bosses become a joke at that point. Complaints about backtracking in a metroidvania are equally retarded. An embarassing number of dimwits have 6 masks and half the tools and they bitch that the game gets too hard, while refusing to revisit old places. Either explore, gather shit and power up or go play Fortnite you braindead moron.People complaining about the Coral Tower gauntlet made me expect a shitload of rooms, but it was suprisingly short. Once you get past room 3, it's basically over. You get a shitload of chances to heal and dozens of easy mobs to build up silk. It's the High Halls gank all over again. People, who never bothered to learn how combat really works, who don't use silk abilities, because they are scared to spend silk on anything but healing, who refuse to quickly to kill an annoying enemy and constantly rely on a single red tool to bail their ass cry that they have to actually try for once.And I hate how shitters who keep running like spastic cats on cocaine for no reason keep arguing that Lost Lace teleports into them, when she teleports in front of Hornet and they keep running into her.
>>723853761Dishonest thread.
frogslopper avatar ban
>>723854507>unfinished game7 years for a glorified dlc, kek>omg we had fun making the gameIts... Itsuno!?
>>723861823>only resolve matters and nothing elseI bet the fucker is chinese
>>723853761>Anyone else hit credits for the basic ending and just not care about the "secret" Act 3?I never got the basic ending. I did Silk & Soul first, thinking it would I could just do the other ending afterwards since I assumed the game would just put me right back before the final fight like how it was in hollow knight. But instead I greeted with act 3. Genuinely caught me completely by surprise.
>>723862108i just can't take people seriously when they say clover dancers is good
>>723862206Don't be so hateful.
>Seth going full Captain America with his shield
>>723858074This. Both games have similar highs and similar lows. SS is just bigger, has more of everything and gets more extreme in some places. People who praise HK but complain about SS are wearing rose tinted glasses. I get not liking or loving both, but to pretend they are somehow fundamentally different? Baffling.
>>723853761No, but I lost interest in the secret mushroom ending because by the time I found out about it I had already removed the markers I put on its locations after silksoar failed
Act 3 is really funIts basically just the dream essence hunt of the first game but better
>>723853761you unironically sound miserable and I would be surprised if you have even one (1) genuinely close friend. must be a sad and lonely life you lead :/
>>723862328If you also dislike Cogwork Dancers, then sure, I can accept that. It's the same fight with one extra move and one enemy is untargetable. I liked it, but not everyone finds the same things fun.However, considering who usually complains about those fights, do you have an argument other that "faggot bugs"? Because mechanically it's really well though out.
>>723862108>spastic cats on cocaine for no reason keep arguing that Lost Lace teleports into themThey will say the bosses teleport on top of them while playing like an unmedicated ADHD patient. Act 3 has more mini games and platformers to wind down between bosses too, but those aren't Game enough for them. Maybe TC can learn from silksong and put a dude in armor at the end of every play section instead
>>723862458Oh no, he posted the funny picture, he must be right and the other guy wrong, thought no one.
>>723862872>cogwork dancers again>except less instead of morewhat's to like about it? the new super move is just as easy to dodge but less kino, and phases 1 and 4 are both cut out.add that to the complete narrative incoherency and it's arguably one of the worst-executed fights in the entire game.
>>723862997I can't wait for the DLC and all the cries how it made the game harder and caused FOMO because they can't finish a pantheon or some platforming section and they are missing an optional skill/tool they spoiled themselves about and how SS sucks because of it.
>>723863120>what's to likeThe boring phases are cut out and you have to actually dodge a move which was a joke earlier. Unless you saw it on YouTube before like some casual zoomie (not claiming you're one, just saying that many people spoil themselves), it will catch you off guard. I liked that.Can you tell me more about the narrative problem? I honestly want to know, maybe I missed something.
>>723853761Nah, I dropped it after act 2 too. The game is nowhere as good nor deserving of my time as it thinks it is. I had seen enough by the time the first credits rolled.
>moderate nuanced criticism of the game>WOW BAD MUCH ITS KINO FILTERED ITS LIKE MY MARVEL MOVIES silktrannies truly are just fromdrones wearing a skinsuit, worst fanbase in the entire industry
>>723862872NTA but cogwork dancers was a piss easy fight completely carried by its kino presentation, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. i quite liked it.however, said kino presentation wasn't carried over to clover dancers which leaves the second fight with basically nothing going for it. it's not a challenging fight, it's not an interesting remix, and it's definitely not kino. i was fully expecting a second speedup or at least a rage phase to replace the solo phase of cogwork dancers, but it just ends on a wet fart. at no point did i feel like it was more demanding than cogwork, which was already the least demanding fight in act 2.the only emotion i feel for clover dancers is pure, utter, unadulterated disappointment. terrible fight, EASILY the biggest letdown in the entire game.
>>723863629I disagree, but you have valid reasons and I only wish you had as much fun as I did. Thanks for an honest and detailed answer.
>>723859370I knew an Act 3 would exist by virtue of the game even having acts at all (you're not usually going to bother having an acts structure if it's only 2 parts, rip to MGSV bros), but I had no idea what it would be or how it would happen.
>>723853761I got to act 2 days ago, just finished fighting two bosses the bell eater and the coral bug king whatever his name is, the coral tower guy for the crusted heartAnd honestly? I just got no motivation, for me it absolutely overstayed it's welcome at this point and I don't care, I just don't because the game starts to feel like a chore you know? When the game no longer is fun and starts to feel like that then what's the pointI will say it is 100% worth the mere 20 bucks you spend on it, but that's about it for me
>>723863768It's okay to be an absolute shitter and good for you for admitting it honestly
Crust King Khan was too easy? Wait for the Pantheon fight, where the coral spikes do not show their patterns before appearing and you have to actually react to Khan's moves and poses to correctly predict them.
>>723853761It's too long and too boring most of the time, doesn't help the fact that the main antagonist is barely even a character.
>>723863410the narrative problem is that there's no reason for the fight to happen in the first placehornet just goes into this guy's head and kills him because... because she just does? you don't need his heart to beat the game, nothing leads you to his location it's just kinda there and the path is magically open for some reason, nothing about the fight makes sense other than that the devs really wanted to put verdania in the game but ran out of time to write a good reason for hornet to be thereact 3 is shit and unfinished, simple as
Considering you don't need to touch Groal until getting access to act 3, sticking such an endgame zone in the middle of the map was both ballsy and a demonstration of dickish conveyancing. I wonder if people will evetually lookback at Bilewater with nostalgia, like we do with Fromsoft swamps?
>>723863768I meant act 3 whoops>>723863829Game is not even that hard, the most deaths I got was against groal with 10, it's just too long and I've seen everything the combat has to offer, again it simply overstayed it's welcomeGame began feeling like a chore once I saw the"you need to get 3 of these items... Again" I just do not give a fuck anymore
>>723864114>like we do with Fromsoft swamps?lmao
>>723863883You don't have to go into his head, the game doesn't even mention him as a possibility or show hs location. YOU found him and YOU wanted to do that. And it's HIM who starts the fight in the dream. You are free to drop it and leave, the game DOES NOT force you to kill him. Your choices are only your own.
>>723863883It's one of extremely few places where the game gives you control over the narrative and you blame the game for your fully optional choices? Lmao.
>>723864114People are already 180ing on Bilewater lmao
>>723864251>you think the boss is stupid?>just don't fight it thenoh i get it you're a fucking retarded cuntshoulda known only 10 iq mongs could think clover dancers was a good fight
>>723864251>>723864360samefagging is an admission of defeat
>>723864385No I think it's gay, but I winder because I'm thoughtful.>>723864183Valley of Defilement is cosy.
jesus, hollowtrannies are definitely not beating the "blinder fanboys than fromtards" allegations.
>>723864405You said there are narrative problems and I proved there are none. Now you claim the fight is shit because... it is? Do you kill everyone in RPG games for basic loot and xp and then complain there is no one left to give quests anymore?>>723864450Claiming samefag when getting told you're wrong is the sign of no arguments.
Bilewater is ludokino.
>>723864635>you said there were narrative problems and i [inane schizobabble]lol
>>723864524i can't tell if this guy is a genuine retard or someone pretending to be retarded to make silksong look bad. either way, it's pathetic.
>>723864695Coping, seething and dilating.
>>723864773thanks for the status update anon
>>723853761I dropped this shit with only having Green prince fight left to do before apparently going for the final boss. Just got bored out of my mind. I think Seth was the only singular fight in act 3 in which I had fun and not just wished it to be over asap. Also not doing coral shit ever.It doesn't help that I've spoiled an identity of the final boss, and it's the lamest, gayest and most anticlimactic choice ever - if i reached that shit without spoilers i'd have been disappointed even worse. Seriously, might have just put LOST SAVAGE BEASTFLY there and it would have been about as interesting thematically.And don't get me started about flea minigames shit.Act 3 is indeed a fucking 5th wheel made for autistic troons only, same as g*dhome in the original.
>>723864754what do you think? they're exactly like that, I think they're worse than fromdrones because it's this unholy mix of wholesome chungus reddit faggotry (le silkposting XDD) and tryhard fromsoft edginess, unique brand of AIDS
Getting to act 3 is completely retarded already. It is a point where only few people did it without a guide or they spent many hours scouring the map. It pisses me off how obtuse the game is and quests randomly appearing on boards. A lot of the enemies feel the same, flying enemies just feel anti-fun. My overall experience was that the constant annoyance and frustration overshadows the enjoyment I had playing it.
OP here, just unlocked Act 3, I no longer have fatigue, Lace is my daughter wife and the save file fake out was kino, deleting thread.
>>723853761Act 3 is for trannies.
>>723865382Go delete it, it's still up
>>723865382OP here, I forgot to mention I was a proud black trans woman
>>723865420I can't it's too old.
>>723864819SEETHING
>>723863883this part is stupid to the point it might get changed due to normal fans spamming "chud hornet" and "hornet hates fags" memes.
>>723853761Yeah, I've had enough of the game after I beat act 2, it's just not fun
I love clawline so much bros
>>723853761i finished the game but i haven't done the cave above the cradle or beaten seth's scores. might do them some day but don't feel like it now.
>>723853761The issue is with how the challenges are presented in this part of the game. In Sinner’s Road, in the 2nd fucking room, after a long trek from below, you enter a room where you have to face the bolas enemy, the flying sword enemies, the leeches that stop you from healing, and a moderately difficult pogo challenge, all at once and for the first time. You don’t get a chance to study the bolas trajectories or timing, or to understand how the leeches work. The flying sword enemies, which have multiple attacks and deal high damage, appear together with the spiked bolas that can knock you into the no heal pit. Then you die,and you have to run all the way back from Graymore. The problem is that all these new and difficult mechanics are introduced simultaneously, as if this were a final test of everything you’ve already learned, except you haven’t had time to learn any of it.AND THEN The swinging pogo section right before the bench is activated adds another challenge when all you want is to reach safety. It turns what should be a moment of relief from the backtrack into another point of failure. Again, first time facing those moving spikes.The minibosses in High Halls have the same issue. Each fight is already difficult on its own, but it’s hard to learn their patterns when reaching one requires running through half the previous encounters again. These are design issues. Hard fights are fine, but players need time to adapt. Without that "GIT GUD" becomes frustration.
>>723867043Sinner's Road is simply a peak area and deserves no hate whatsoever. Probably flawless too
>>723863754A lot of stage plays only have two acts. It really isn't that uncommon.
>>723853968How the fuck do people have 200 hours in this. Does grinding the bestiary take that long? Play more games.
>>723864834>I dropped this shit with only having Green prince fight left to do before apparently going for the final boss. Just got bored out of my mind. I think Seth was the only singular fight in act 3 in which I had fun and not just wished it to be over asap. Also not doing coral shit ever.But if you didn't fight the Green Prince. And you didn't do the Coral Tower. Then you wouldn't even have been able to fight the final boss.
>>723867168Multiple playthroughs? are you retarded?
can lore xisters defend this
>>723867264>Multiple playthroughsUnfortunately this is hard for me to imagine anyone wanting to do.
I uninstalled after beating a couple bosses in act 3 and haven't felt any urge to return. overstayed its welcome. playing NG4 now
>>723867318>hard for me to imaginethis tends to be a problem for browns, yes
>>723867387>shitty pathetic comeback involving brownsSilksong fans everyone
>>723865292>or they spent many hours scouring the map. It pisses me off how obtuse the game isIn what way is it obtuse? >do bonebottom wishes>do bellhart wishes>do songclave wishes>don't ignore wormways>don't neglect the fleas>grab all the maps because you actually explore and don't finish the game before having found all(or what you presume to be all before being aware of act3) the maps >do a final check of all the wish boards before challenging the final boss>see shakra's wish>get right on that immediately because shakra is your friend >check the wishboards before the final fight again>silk & soulYou only miss Silk & Soul if you deliberately ignore content or if you suck so much at exploration that you never even found the putrified ducts or something.
>>723867043good postof course silktrannies won't engage with it in good faith
>>723867307disgusting gay faggots, hornet is based
Hornet kills fags
>>723867528Is it even gay when it's yourself?
>>723867307This game is both pro and anti tumblr at the same time
>>723867190The threads unironically have some fag that spams the threads with ai generated posts shitposts because for some reason he hates the fans. May or may not be the same one who spams all the tranny shit.
>>723867043Being good at the game prepared me for Sinner's Road
>>723865292It's not retarded but I would've appreciated clearer directions from the snail NPC to get all the souls
>>723867043It's pretty clear that Silksong was originally meant to be just a DLC for the first game that you'd play after doing all the other hard endgame content, so the new difficult mechanics like platforming and enemies wouldn't seem that bad after doing stuff like the Path of Pain or Godhome.
>>723853761Nah, the gauntlets before the bosses were peak silksinging.
>>723853761I finished the game after doing a bunch of stuff, I'm in act 3 now.The main villain barely has any character at all, idk why Team Cherry thought this was a good idea, even more considering the Christians themes of the game that just left me more confused.For now I have to follow some marks on the map that are bosses to get more items I suppose, so more chores to do until I get the true ending. I'll see if this one is more satisfying at least.
>>723853761I'm at that point OP.I did everything that could be doable before act 3 and I no longer have the will to keep going. Bilewater, shitty complitely hidden parts you can't reach without a guide and terrible sidequest bosses left me exhausted. Team Cherry could have made a perfect game if they weren't hooked on huffing their own farts. Having good sequence break, a true ending that didn't require doing ALL THE SIDEQUESTS and cutting the meh content to focus on the citadel with a focused castlevania level design would have made it a 30h long great game with very little fat.But now with 46 hours in the game, the idea that I need to revisit the whole game just to see what's different and maybe find a good boss or two is a turn-off.
>>723869597>that didn't require doing ALL THE SIDEQUESTSYou don't need to do all of them though.
>>723853761it was nutty storywise like the witch curse was but otherwise unimpressive. Most character resolutions are hidden there, like the guardian robot killing plagued enemies and then challenging you cause you are part void, but unlike souls likes you actually talk it out afterwards instead of killing it. That's an example of act 3 neat things.
>>723869941>17 "main" sidequests>fleas' final place>Silk and Soul requires Bilewater anywayWithout a guide, there's no way to guess what are the requirements so you'll do them anyway.You can't find fleatopia early without the second quest for the lost merchant, or be extremely lucky.Anyway it's still very bloated from my perspective
>>723870382uh isn't the sentinel fight in act 2
>>723870395>Without a guide, there's no way to guessWithout a guide, you don't even know there is an act 3. So you won't be guessing. You'll just be doing quests as you come across them. And then you'll find silk and soul after you've done like two thirds of them. Not all of them.
>>723870395They could have executed it far better if the central idea had been to prove that Hornet genuinely cares about the smaller bugs and isn’t destined to become a power-hungry queen. The story should have included a meaningful mission that demonstrated this rather than relying on filler content. For example, there could have been a major quest to save the pilgrims trapped in the Underworks, where Hornet must destroy the other Choruses that keep them trapped. Together with the pilgrims, she could disable the great machine and trigger the collapse of its massive cogs tower, causing the cocoon to fall from its cradle.That would have been waay better
>>723870716You need to find fleatopia first. Which either means you got through Bilewater or found the ducts through the left passage. In both cases it means you're already cleaning the entire game and that you're already 80% there. It's true you can skip some sidequests but you can't know which ones can be skipped. I had to check the requirements in my playthrough because I had done everything but come back to see the fleas and move the caravan. Silk and Soul wasn't popping on the quest board before that.
>>723853761>more of the same "memorize the animations" boss fights?wownintendo fans really do bbe subhuman retards
>>723871048Gachafags, actually. The rise of bitching about difficulty coincides 1:1 with half of the catalog turning into gachashit threads.
>>723871286naw it's entirely souls fags who got used to enemy telling you it's intentious 5 seconds in advance. Which, you know, was cool. Sadly this isn't a thing anymore in any game.
>>723871425That and the fact people got comfortable with iframe slop and thinking thwyre good for pressing the the cant hit me button.
I finally beat GMS cursed bros :)
>>723858074I don't recall the white lady not giving me her half of kingsoul because I didn't purchase all of cornifer's maps
>>723871618desu of all the games ever Silksong is the one where being an iframe slop would have made sense - you routinely fight large hypermobile groups of enemies, while having touch damage and not having ability to stun and combo. Why DeS and DS1 had i-frames is anyone's guess, it completely ruined the sequels and the entire genre.
>>723871425>>723871618hello, tranny retardcan't wait to see your subhuman ilk consneed and kneel to FROM when you finally get to play the game later this year
>>723871937...From is releasing something this year?
>>723871989Xe means duskbloods
>>723871664congrats man, enjoy the best title screen
>>723872387lol who tf cares about it. The fucky moon was the only cool thing in the trailer. And I have Lies of Peak to beat anyway.
>>723864385I never understood the hate for bilewater.
>>723871989this brown faggot probably means the switch 2 version of elden ringnintendo derangement syndrome as usual
>>723853761It dosent help that you know there's an act 3. Their's little insenstive to play a game through when you already know the bosses, twists, secrets, ect.
>>723862108>a varied and fun as fuck 4 room gauntlet>funAre you a masochist? That gauntlet was a tipping point for me. I finished act 3 and don't want to ever touch Silksong again after that.I liked some of the bosses like Lace, Phantom, Dancers or Karme, but don't want to suffer the game for them.Would rather replay base HK again.
I stopped at Act 3 in the middle of getting the hearts but I also stopped in HK in the middle of doing the dreamer fights
Feel so good playing Silksong the first two weeks and finding Act 3 on my own.Can't imagine how it must feel like to be a retard that just spoils himself everything.
>>723863768Nah, I feel you. I won't even bother with the rest of the cheevos even if I'm not far away.
>>723862108>void enemiesI wanted to feel like a truck after beating most of my metroidvania, not worse than when i've started the game.>backtrackingGoint to a pip on a metroid map - backtracking. Stumbling around randomly trying to find secret behind a secret is filler.>final bossA reskin of a refight, you are certified shit eaterfor accepting the laziest mod tier quality final boss.
>>723873286>Are you a masochist?No. But the Coral Tower was absolutely a highlight of the game. It's fun to crowd control and to bounce between enemies. And the coral tower gauntlet is the best designed one and the one with the most enemy variety.
>>723873571Sounds like a case of masochism. Good for you, I guess.
>>723873571it's by far the worst part of the game
>>723873784>>723873608Coral Tower is the most honest arena in the entire game.
>>723873931absolutely meaningless
>>723873931dude it's literally a cut content area
>>723874106>>723873957Dont care I loved the colosseum in hk and it was just as funOnly thing missing was a zote joke
>filtered by the towerdo shitters really?

>>723874320why are you brown
>>723872596The signposted bench that breaks and plunges you into maggot infested shitwater is just plain cruel and unnecessary
>>723872596The level is fine per se, but the combination of hidden benches and the worst boss in the game really make the whole experiece miserable
I did everything but can't be assed to fight true ending boss
>>723867387>replaying a game multiple times within a short timespanyou sound like the poor brownoid here if we're being honest, if you can barely afford a $20 game
Daily brown people seething about silksong thread.
>>723873608>masochismBut I second tried the gauntlet. Didn't feel masochistic at all.
>>723873286No, I'm moderately good at the game and I find combat and all the options I have fun as fuck.
>>723873548>I want to be strong!You are. But if you are still getting hit often, you did not improve from the start of the game. You are MOBILE. You should be nearly untouchable.>looking for secrets I found 80% of them by just having eyes and looking around every room as I was exploring and leaving a pin and coming back if I lacked an ability to reach a suspicious place. Just look around instead of rushing through.>reskinYou apparently don't know what that word means.
Why was I supposed to care about Lace? The first time you fight her I thought she was a joke character because the fight is kinda easy and then she popped up at the end and I was like oh you're the old lady's daughter or something that's... not interesting and I don't care at all but go off. And THEN SHE'S THE FINAL BOSS? But isn't the old lady using her powers to ensnare the world even from within the abyss? Why would anything Lace does matter? And why does the old lady give you thread to get out of the abyss? out of some misguided hope that you'll take over as silk god emperor again?Game is absolute kino otherwise but the Lace thing I didn't get at all. The OG hollow knight was a cool as fuck character otherwise. Much better final fight where he's stabbing himself.
>>723867116You must be brown if you love the brown area, you shitstained paki
>>723873286Coral tower was the most fun gauntlet, though.
>>723881476lace is such a half baked characterthe whole "woe is me I'm le artificial lifeform" thing falls completely flat, there's really no reason to care about this cunt plus her design is shit
>>723862108Based and shaw-pilled. I don't know why so many people who clearly, obviously hate Metroidvanias, keep playing Metroidvanias.
>>723882478metroidvanias are my favorite genre and silksong is objectively a bad metroidvaniacompletely misses the core appeal of the genre, although it does a lot of good things outside of it
>>723882969>it misses the core appeal because it just doesnt okok retard
>>723857232Of course he doesn't, otherwise he wouldn't be calling act 3 a secret, when all you have to do to reach it is play the game and not rush the "final" boss.
>>723883347concession accepted ranjeet
>>723883427no, substantiate your claims you GAYLORD
>>723853761Good thing it didn't win Game of the Year.
>>723859685shazam lost
>>723883381>>723862108i really liked silksong and thought it was a worthy sequel but come on now>karmellita is a great boss but also completely loose and disconnected from everything else>coral tower gauntlet felt super trivial compared to the average gauntlet, and mr KKK was blatantly very toned down to compensate for the gauntlet>literally every new area is a tiny linear shallow place>nyloth and seth was actually great all around>red memory was really stale compared to the equivalent of the first game (void heart)>And I hate how shitters who keep running like spastic cats on cocaine for no reason keep arguing that Lost Lace teleports into them, when she teleports in front of Hornet and they keep running into her.you do realise that absolutely bumrushing enemies and constantly hammering them is by far the most rewarding way to play the game? You even have a completely separate stagger counter that takes less hits specifically for it. It is the best thing to do in HK, it is the best thing to do in almost all of silksong, it is the best thing to do in lace 2. So having the boss able to teleport in your direction as soon as you dash forward if youre unlucky is absolutely retardedAll things considered lace 3 is just a downgraded lace 2. Telefrags aside, she has overwhelmingly more "pauses the flow of the fight and wastes your time" additions (like when she teleports out of the arena and you jump the meme sawblades for 10 seconds) than anything actually making her more dynamicalso "muh shitters" fuck you post your p5 all bindings clear right now
>>723883557subtantiate deez nuts visajeet *dabs*
>>723882969erm actually it does the appeal better than all but one of the games (hollow knight) dont like it? well uhh im going to rape you
>>723853761I did need to take a break after act 2 because I put like 45 hours in one week into the first 2 acts and I was completely burnt out.One week of playing other games and now I'm hooked again like in the first week, currently on 89% completion and wrapping things up (I'm not going for 100%).Pacing and shard eco are probably my only gripes now in quasi hindsight. Dash should've been a starting ability and the song to return to the fast travel spots from (almost) anywhere should've been available from early act 2. Also WHY THE FUCK does hornet dismount the bellbeast jumping to the left side everytime I warp to the grand bellway? 99% of the time I warp there I want to use the tube system to keep on fast traveling. Lots of little nitpicks I have for this game but it was fun so far. Definitely my fav game of 2025
>>723884097so funny sar! show that bloody benchod who is the boss!
>>723853761Act 3 is better but more so in that you get a warp back to the fast travel station very early on which makes travel less obnoxious. Assuming you did most major side quests the only major non-main story chore left should be getting the final fleas and getting that final pin upgrade. After that it's mostly just going from level to boss to level to boss.SS sucks but not because of Act 3.
>>723867043>>723867486It's a dumb post given how you get introduced to the bolas enemies first in Greymoor not Sinner's Road. So the whole:>problem is that all these new and difficult mechanics are introduced simultaneously, as if this were a final test of everything you’ve already learneddoesn't really make any sense? The inly new mechanic is the magot water, one reused enemy from the previous area and one easily cheesable flying enemy isn't the game pulling a "final test"; you're just that dogshit.
>>723883845>if youre unluckyShe can't teleport in to your path unless she's already teleported off screen. And if she's off screen, then what are you dashing towards? That's not you "bumrushing enemies and constantly hammering them". It's you being spastic and pressing buttons just to press them.
>>723884619>It's you being spastic and pressing buttons just to press them.This is how I beat all of the bosses. Wanderer crest + dice + flintslate and lots of button mashing.Bosses died before I did, I wonder why people called this game hard.
>>723862108Great post and I agree. I'm halfway through act 3 and really enjoying it so far, Seth was fun as fuck and Nyleth looks amazing.
>>723885369Karmellita is a cool boss.Nyleth is actual shit though. Designed to just be rapid attack spammed to death but has a bunch of annoying huge hitboxes and can just fuck you over with spastic hurt box shifting (thought you were going to pogo me? Whoops, I just flung my head down and now you're plummeting into the floor spikes get fucked retard). Boring moveset otherwise.
Its so fucking fun replaying this game and just MOGGING everythingYou become so good by the end of act 3 that playing it again just feels comfy as fuck
>>723865572>was
>>723886575I did basically everything - all mementos etc. - what's the appeal of a replay? Part of me wants to try steel soul or speedrun an Any% run so that I only have to do the essential stuff but the thought of not having clawline and dash and shit from the jump is so offputting.
>>723867043I think that's intentional. Sinner's Road is the "cheats" way into the Citadel. You bypass judgment and break in without being allowed. Sinner's Road is meant to be difficult and grueling because it's the "wrong choice". The game throws everything at you and almost tells you to turn back. You just have to be stubborn and intrepid enough to slog through it, and you'll feel like you earned it when you break the game's sequence.
>>723887575You can beeline for dash and clawline in like three hours then go from there. Mastering the hunter crest moveset in particular is stupid fun.
...but why are they called "Clover" Dancers?
>>723853761Act 3 has enjoyable minigames, bosses, gauntlets, and platforming sections. If you felt like you were just pushing through most of act 2 and thinking "this is bullshit" when the game upped the pressure, you will probably hate act 3. I loved the game throughout.
>>723853761>Is Act 3 better or just more of the same "memorize the animations" boss fights?Act 3 is barely an Act at all. It unlocks a few late game bosses and a new movement ability (that is purely movement with no practical combat utility) but you are backtracking around the same world you unlocked in Act 1+Act 2.The few new screens added to the main world are just long boss hallways with no exploration value that were either arbitrarily locked by flags or by the new movement ability. Imagine if in Hollow Knight they locked wings behind white palace and you can imagine how bad Act 3's re-exploration feels to play.
