I’ve kinda accepted that I’m just 2D Metroid guy. This looks good, it does, but even if the world design and pacing are on point, I doubt it’ll change my feelings about not being able to see my character and having that feedback for platforming and positioning in combat. Will wait for reviews.
As a humongous Metroid fan, I'm obviously stoked for this, but I do wonder what folks THINKING about getting this feel about it. Trailers for this game haven't been the best and I fear only Metroid fans care enough for it.

I think people are coping about Silksong’s pogo. Yes, it’s slower and harder to use, that’s the problem. Controls aren’t where difficulty should come from in a metroidvania with so much combat and platforming. Face it, the pogo is so bad that most people pretty much permanently switch to reaper

Liking bad or unfair games because you're familiar with them is a valid reason to like games, but when we're critiquing games, the initial experience, the learning process—that's what's most important.

🧵Finished Silksong about 90%. Overall…I like hollow knight more. The feel of the combat is a downgrade from that game, which is the biggest reason. The other thing holding it back is the difficulty and lack of convenience. Bench placements are too sparse and I had way less fun on lots of challenges.

Reached act 3 of Silksong. Man this game just keeps going what the hell. It’s going to take me a lot of time to figure out how I feel about this game. It’s really good, it’s sucked me in. The combat and platforming feel great, but I’m not sure how I feel about the structure of the world.

Silksong is too difficult and punishing for your average player. There are times when I died a couple times on a fight and I was like, damn, people are gonna get stuck here, and there are so few benches that the runbacks are fucking ridiculous. Lots of people are going to stop having fun and quit.

I am such a Reaper's Crest hater and I can't tell if I'm just a contrarian or if I really hate how slow the slashes are. I think what I hate most is how many times it's been genuinely useful because I don't like how it feels to use.

Silksong is so beefy and it’s everything I could ask for in a metroidvania

I’m loving Silksong, but I must add my voice to this opinion. Hornets dive attack sucks so unbelievably bad compared to the knights pogo swing. It’s slow, the hitbox is too specific, chaining pogos in opposite directions is horrible. They did not need to fuck with the best part of hk: the control.

So...silksong tomorrow. I'm gonna play the fuck out of it when I'm done with my web dev obligations, but I gotta be honest, my hype levels are disappointingly low.

I’m heavily anticipating the team cherry interview to see if people are able to forgive the radio silence for an unmet kickstarter stretch goal. No matter how good silksong ends up being, I think this should end up being damaging for their reputation.

Sometimes at the store I’ll see tiny children jump, trying to only step on the colored tiles, and I feel so validated, like, yeah little buddy knows what’s up. I still do that too.

Played melee last night for the first time in years. Man there’s so much I still love about it that no other game comes close to, but also it has such terrible problems for a fighting game and trying to take it seriously would hurt my hands so much.

I sometimes think about Keita Takahashi, the creator of katamari damacy, and how he said that gaming as a medium is still extremely young. In this era of continued technological advancement, we’re too focused on making games that use those technologies, rather than making them fundamentally fun.

I started playing blasphemous and when I found out there was a corpse run mechanic I groaned out loud, “oh my god you’ve gotta be kidding me…”
I’m not saying it can’t work, but your game had better have a really compelling reason to have it.

I wish that when people say foreshadowing they’d mean actual substance to predict an event and not loose symbolism or irony that can retroactively be connected to a future plot point.

Misspelled amateur. Oh well. Undertale is one of the most important games I’ve played in my life, up there with the games that were formative to me like paper Mario 64 and classic mega man.
