    Every time I read about players bitching about difficulty, I wonder why they’re so persistent. Either git gud, or move on. There’s plenty of games out there to play instead.

    I tried dark souls and realized that kinda game isn’t for me. Neither is getting over it, or anything like that. I just want to lean back and relax, and I don’t want to mess with tight timings and stuff like that. I just play puzzle games because of that, and I thoroughly enjoy it.

    Why do they feel the need of forcing themselves through an experience they don’t enjoy? FOMO? Bragging rights? I really don’t get it.

      I’m fine with the difficulty, but I’m sure a lot of players bought silksong without beating hollow Knight first, and I feel that the game is too hard for someone just getting into the genre. it’s unnecessary cruel to new players sometimes imo.

      someone could enjoy most of the game but be turned away by some of the more frustrating parts, which in my opinion is kinda unfortunate. maybe they bought the game on release and now feel like they are stuck with a game that isn’t worth it.
