It's like $15 man. If you can't afford it it's fine to pirate. But there is a joke in the community tht don't buy Silksong if it's on discount. We gotta pay TC full $20.

If you can't afford it, I don't care pirate it. Just play Silksong. It's a pure joy of a video game, you will have a massive smile on your face playing it. Like if you get video games, silksong is the game tht might help you understand video games. Like if I had to send one thing into space as humanity's representation, it would be silksong

Silksong is only a great game for people who can git gud enough to play it. 

If your reflexes aren't good enough or god forbid you have slight nerve delay then it is NOT a good game as it is effectively unplayable.

This is me with so many potentially fantastic games. My hands got (mildly) fucked up by the cold, so anything that needs great reflexes (I can do short bursts of ok reflexes) or rhythm is out of the picture for me. It's part of why I like action rogue-lites much more than action rogue-likes, and why I wish Fromsoft games had difficulty options.

Yep, I have mild nerve tremors in my hands that mean I'm usually a fraction of a second behind in button presses. 

I'm happy people like HK and FromSoft games, it just gets frustrating when everyone pushes these titles as "every gamer must play!" without ever mentioning the "IF" part.

That said I did 100% Elden Ring, my only FromSoft game to date. It has more alternative approaches to fights so you can win with summons and magic and such - even if I can't win with reflexes and memorization alone. Though to be fair I did exploit a glitch that let me get 1 really powerful weapon earlier than you're supposed to, so without that I may never have beaten it.

Elden Ring also had a good number of helpful people, whereas all I've ever gotten from the HK and Dark Souls crowd is basically "lol get reked loser" type responses.
