Comment on They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you?

  Damn and I was going to post in this thread that my friend BOUGHT this game for me even though I said I wouldn’t enjoy it, and lo and behold, my girlfriend and I have barely enjoyed outside the prologue of Expedition 33. I’m most of the way through act 2 I think? And I just dropped it. I’ll finish it someday to finalize my feelings but they are pretty negative, and everything i’ve heard from other people is not improving my opinion. Just not my type of game I guess

    Yeah, probably just not your game. Not everyone loves every masterpiece. shrug

      I’m not far in Silksong - have not actually been stopped by difficulty yet - but even the obstinately unguided exploration is getting to me. And I do worry about the reports of it being too hard by others.

      I never actually beat the final boss of the first game. Gave it a few tries, decided something as hard as that being a two-phase where the second hits harder is bullshit, Just decided to YouTube the ending.

        I loved the difficulty of silksong, and the movement is so much better than it was in the first game. There is one boss I hated but it is not required to beat the game.

        The unguided exploration was a refreshing change of pace for me. So many games just devolve into following a line on a map and it’s refreshing to have an opportunity to really explore. And there are so many nooks and crannies to the world that I was amazed I kept finding new stuff.

        That being said, Team Cherry are sadists and it’s apparent in the game design. I understand the game is not for everyone. If you find yourself frustrated, do not shy away from online guides or tips!

        Yeah, I haven’t played Silksong myself, but it was obvious from it being the most highly anticipated game of the year to getting a bunch of mixed reviews and then basically fell off the radar. Like I’m sure it’s a great game, but it doesn’t seem like it’s even going to be a contender.
