One of the only reasons I didn't quit playing Silksong, was wanting to see how much % completion I could get by 30 hours
games

since I was kinda interested to see
genuinely, the game is a complete slog past the early parts of act 2, I'm happy the act 3 bosses are more fun
I don't want anyone to think I'm saying "Silksong is a bad game"
nor that it's hard
but it's designed in the most frustrating ways, that lead to waaaayyyy more backtracking, dead time, warping around, and unfun map clearing
I think them turning down most of the level hazards doing 2HP helped
but the game is filled with so much random runaround questing (on-top of the actual run-around questing)
and if that lasted 1-2 hours, sure fine
but it's lasted 10 easy at this point
Replying to TinyBomby #tinybomby I feel the opposite, just in terms of grandiose climax.
grandma silk has like no buildup at all you dont even get the name or an idea about it like you do with radiance in HK. at least lost lace actually has buildup before the fight, and the fight itself is fun and thematic
as far as currency grinding goes, since i was combing around for secrets i did get more currency than is normal i think, i only had to grind (very quickly, too) to buyout housing furniture and the thief shop and songclave shops which i grinded for at the same time using the rosary drop boosting thing
ok that's a cool ending
yeah
I'm kinda sure that'll be added
since there's zero chance this game doesn't get its own Godhome
I think I have an idea of at least most of the stuff left to do
I felt like I should be closer to 95% though

I probably shouldn't have fought the first sinner before the final boss because it completely trivialized the boss, very disappointed in grandmother silk idk why it is the exact same swords come at you like different directions. I almost beat the final boss on my first try but died because I lost interest in fighting the boss and got killed. I beat her on my second try though so over ;(
yeah, she's got too simple of a kit for a final boss imo, beat her on my first try (though got lucky, had my last hit not ended it I would have died)
Polu was showing this in vc from the alpha (beta)
I am glad they never changed the stupid rolling mechanic

Still not sure how to find this boss but I heard its needed for true ending? So hopefully I do. I have some ideas where it is though
