Cool. So I guess people like me with neuropathy should fuck off so people like you can get a boost of perceived superiority because God forbid they put a slider for slowing game speed or other such settings so people like me with physical limitations can adjust the challenge to our capabilities.
The existence of OPTIONAL difficulty settings has nothing to do with your experience of the game. If you don’t opt into using them, your game experience is literally no different than if they didn’t exist at all.
Yes, you in fact are being elitist. The way other people are able to experience the game has NOTHING to do with your experience. Be proud of your experiences for what they are, not how they compare to others’ experiences.
No, you should have a button through the workshop where you can add mods to slow down the game, take less damage, or whatever else you want or need. Let people rebalance the whole damn game if they want, if that makes you enjoy the game I’m happy for you
It should made easier then it is right now with proper workshop integration so it can be done in just a couple clicks. I’d support calling for that
What I don’t want is for team cherry to be pressured to change the game. It’s amazing as is, it’s extremely well thought out in how it challenges you even as the difficulty people complain about prepares you for future challenges. But people who will never enjoy it for what it is instantly demand it be watered down
You think a speed slider is going to make this game accessible? That’s not how this game works. This game is impossible at every challenge until it isn’t. That is the game. It’s rhythm and reaction, if you can do it slow you can do it normally
If I didn’t have a friend who played smash with three fingers and his hip on a heavily modded controller, I wouldn’t have the instincts to be able to play this game. He kicked my ass every time, despite nerve palsy that left him with half of one working hand
This game is not for everyone. And I don’t mean because of abilities… I’m not that good of a gamer. This game is for people who don’t accept their limits
I played on PS5. No mods for me. Literally, my entire argument is that those features that mods provide should be pre-baked into the game. Would be better if console gaming was able to be modded in the first place so that burden didn’t fall to the devs but company interests prevent that from ever happening but that’s a whole other topic.
Silksong has an amazing structure and design. It really is like a song. The enemy patterns are well thought out. The level design is amazing with Bosses that are unique, with each area having their own key they are played in. The moves are precise yet varied with the different crests, a plethora of instruments to choose from (even if you do have to go looking for them). Top tier Metroidvania once again by Team Cherry. It has a good flow if you can find it and get into that loop of “explore, stock up, boss, repeat steps 2 and 3 until boss defeated or skip to step 5 if hitting a wall, cleanup, backtrack” of the genre. Yet, songs can be played at different tempos. Games need to let people play at their tempo so they are able to catch the rhythm.
Like, I’m not saying “items need to be cheaper” or to remove the rosary system because “it’s dump to lose all your currency and have it stuck somewhere” when you have the ability to stock up through the string stations.
I have CMT. My nerves are fucked because of it. One of the symptoms is that my nerve speed is significantly slowed due to a faulty protein in the myelin sheath. No matter how hard I try, I will never regain the reaction speed or dexterity. I used to be an amazing guitarist. I was a top tier fighting gamer on MK and Soul Calibur.
Now? After years of the disease progressing. I physically will never be able to pull off the things I used to do in my youth. Yet I still enjoy these games because they have difficulty settings. In competitive, I’m matched with people of my skill level. Also, with friends, handicaps exist for a reason. MK has input timing options for the special moves and options for precision on button press and if it’s a negative edge or not.
With Metroidvanias, no matter how much I loved playing them in my youth, I’ll never be able to play the older ones that don’t have difficulty settings unless I play them in an emulator. Newer ones I can’t play unless they have difficulty settings for things like parry timings, game speed, or sensitivity settings for aiming.
So yes, I do physically need difficulty settings that adjust game timings in the games I play if they are required. This isn’t My Hero Academia or Dragon Ball. I can’t just go Plus Ultra or surpass my limits by screaming really loud until my hair turns blonde.
