gun to your head, make an argument

how do you do it

like, fully devil's advocate

I just legitimately don't know how you defend shards

I definitely bought less than half the optional things in the game, and did not have any spare money at the end

I don't fight a lot of enemies, and arenas don't count, so I had to grind for the weapons and cloaks from the guys in the citadel for those two quests

the silver bells was an incredibly dumb quest. Randomly spawning.

except the stupid silver bells

those were the main ones I'm complaining about. The act 1 quests were better.

I definitely didn't naturally complete the act 2 quests

Lace is just too small, doesn't feel like a grand finish, especially with Grand Mother Silk literally right there in the background. When I won, I was just surprised she didn't fight me too.

I feel the opposite, just in terms of grandiose climax. Dialga Grandma silk was bad as a last boss but not lace 3 imo

final boss way a complete let-down in terms of climax imo. The fight itself is fine, but just doesn't feel climactic enough.

only two bosses I struggled a ton on

final boss and diva were hard ;-;

I save/quitted a LOT in Silksong. I don't think I did it once in HK.

definitely never did that

I never actually did anything with the mask maker if he has a quest or something

After visiting the mask maker, can you literally just drop down, or do you have to parkour back, that's the question

I unfortunately do not remember the area well enough

Actually, I just remembered a second thing I never found in HK I had to look up I never found the map for the sewers I think it was?

I only had to look up one thing in HK though, where I was looking up tons of stuff in endgame Silksong

I mean, you definitely value exploration more than me. I don't really enjoy exploration very much at all, and generally don't enjoy metroidvanias that are extremely heavy on getting lost and checking every last corner.

I did not actually like the radiance at all. Being forced to fight HK first every time was annoying

I loved mantis lords, that was my favorite for sure

I honestly just don't remember HK, it's been a lot time since I played it and I've played a ton of metroidvanias since. I have no idea what I would think of it now.

btw I missed multiple act 3 bosses because I was already tired of the game and couldn't be bothered, but there were probably more interesting ones out there too

act 1 has like, lace 1 and widow as the only very interesting bosses I think.

I think the main three from act 3 were all very interesting

interesting, I wonder if my perception was just warped from other games I played then

Of course, any insults I have about Silksong bosses, it's better than just having a million "boss re-fight, but it's a bit stronger this time"

really? I felt like the end-game bosses were mostly far more interesting and better spaced out compared to the earlier areas. There were times in the early game where I was confused why they kept throwing arenas at me instead of a boss. Dialga complaints about currencies and some of the quests aside, I do disagree with

They can be canon or not, they don't affect anything in either game plot-wise

All I saw of the mushrooms was that they are watchers looking for the "end of the age" because they like to watch notable things happening. Not the literal ending of the world or anything like that, but just notable world events.

I never really saw it as sequel hook

That's definitely true, a LOT of the game in general is backloaded. Like the movement upgrades.

What did you say about the mushroom, Spooky?

The mushrooms are like, literally irrelevant plot-wise, I have no idea what you're referring to

?

what happened with the mushrooms?

Also the quest I couldn't be bothered to do: Go kill about 30 enemies total with specific tools. Spooky Phijkchu there are ~10 "sniff the cumstain and follow the smoke" there are ~20 "kill 0/15 rats and bring me their pelts" there are ~7 delivery/escort quests

I don't know what your predictions were, but yes Gent Were all my predictions true???

by far my least favorite thing in the game, even moreso than the MMO quests

It's actually inexcusable

Well yes, I don't even know how a single person could have thought this was a good idea. Spooky Phijkchu the shard economy is bad design (seperate issue)

mmm yes, gonna go kill my 20 boars, my favorite thing to do in a METROIDVANIA

MMO FETCH QUESTS

MMO QUESTS

Act 1 vs. Act 2 is essentially meaningless. Like yes, you get sorta locked in until you get back to a bellway, but nothing actually changes between acts. Act 3 is where a ton of the zones change, but I'm not sure why the acts exist at all.
