@DreadfulDragon your comment shows perhaps why you are so bad at the game and insist on blaming the designers? Instead of thinking like the character you play as, you seem to expect to bumble around a dangerous world. Games have internal logic. I am so sorry that you cannot think outside your human experience! Good luck with life, and that wall!

@DreadfulDragon This is the part where it proves to be a YOU problem: "a reasonable person does not expect their vehicle to be booby trapped, therefore would not be looking for warnings and even if they saw them may not pay them heed"

What part of the world of Pharloom is supposed to be reasonable exactly? The talking bugs? The needle-wielding protagonist, a bug named Hornet? The bug religion?

You have entered a wildly foreign world, and brought into it far too many assumptions about how it operates.

git good.

@N8tiveT3ch definitely sounds like a you problem. Maybe stop crapping all over other people's enjoyment? Commenting is, after all, optional.

@DreadfulDragon The trap was telegraphed outside of its room. The trap was telegraphed when you spring it (as are all the traps in the game, using the same trap sound). There is a way that the trap can be disarmed. If you can't handle the game, that's fine, but it is more about you than about "BaD gAmE dEsIgN."

@Jade37 you assumed there was an unspoken agreement...obviously, there was not LOL. You can cry about it, that is fine, but that's what separates the pilgrims from Hornet.

@Jade37 Bad game design? Or good worldbuilding? This area is rife with traps. Why wouldn't there be a trap here?

@inenai This is entirely within the spirit of the in-game world. I am glad Team Cherry has the stones to commit so hard to their worldbuilding.

The world of Pharloom is supposed to be warm and fuzzy. There is no place for mean things such as this in Happy Girl Bug Simulator. The devs are making me upset and I need a cookie now cuz there were no reviews and I want to enjoy the hype too.

@HeldHero Couldn't something similar be said about people who are clamoring for an easy mode?

@eldersnake I don't see how painting normally would have altered Picasso's artistic vision. Or at least making a "normal" version of his paintings.

To everyone who finds Silksong too difficult: why did you expect this would not be a comparable level of difficult to other 2D Souls-like games? Its predecessor, Hollow Knight, was noted to be difficult. Did you just get hit by the hype train and decide that a day 1, no-review purchase would be fine?

It is up to the designers to curate the experience of the game they wish to ship. Like many of the game's pilgrims, some players just may never make it to the Citadel. It's certainly not the end of the world. HK was known as a difficult experience; people could have waited for reviews if this were a concern of theirs.

@Elitepatriot Nintendo is likely chasing a revenue maximization price point, rather than a unit sales maximization price point.

@WhiteUmbrella I get it, WiiU was the best console ever, especislly because it used discs. Good job, mate, you convinced me.

@HugoGED if you consider that "a huge inconvenience" then you really have a unique perspective on things.

@WhiteUmbrella you are really trying to claim the WiiU as a success story? Huh.

@HugoGED "a real inconvenience" because yout have to...DOWNLOAD A GAME.

The horror!

@dskatter and it is that exact behavior that makes you sound like a spoiled child. Thank you for proving my point.

@WhiteUmbrella If what you said is true ("There is negativity around keycards that is proportionate to the number of people that feel that way about them, and the comments are a good barometer of the overall feeling within the community") then the Switch 2 launch would have been a complete failure, not the fastest selling console launch of all time.

The anti-keycard people are, just like the S2 Launch Doomers, a small and annoyingly loud group of complainers.

The VAST majority of people don't care one way or another. This is why you don't see pro-KG or pro-physical media comments to NEARLY the same degree.

Just stop the complaining. It sounds like petulant, demanding toddlers.

@PJOReilly Nintendo Life: people complaining about key cards is also flaming and argumentative.

@Axecon it's just a game bro.

@Axecon the tiny but annoying minority of gamers whining about game key cards are killing the S2 vibe imo.

@Divide_and_Wander a very vocal group of people is against game key cards, and they dont shut up about it. They sound like the Switch 2 Release Doomers!

@N00BiSH the game key card whiners really do need a new hobby

@Gamer_Griff enough already, no one is forcing you to buy a game key card.

@johnedwin Then they should comment on the PS5 forum or PC forum.

@mlapoff We don't care.

@JohnnyMind Have you lost your mind, Johnny? The whole INTERNET is built on hot takes, jumping the gun, and love-it-or-hate-it-and-nothing-in-between engagement metrics.

(In case it wasn't obvious: /s)

@Medic_alert you can cut off your nose to spite your face, but a key card is strictly better than digital.

@BaldB3lper78 Man, do you do anything but complain? Did you complain about Elden Ring performance on other hardware? This is a Fromsoft issue, first and foremost.

@topsekret i think you mean it is a major upgrade from a typical digital license!

@topsekret Nah, they are fine. Try reselling a game from Steam or GOG, or any game you downloaded.

@Yosher Don't be that guy, the one who is whining about game key cards. We heard you the first 1,000,000 times.

@Yosher you were crying about game key cards, so naturally I assumed you only buy physical copies!

@BaldB3lper78 old man yells at clouds.

@Yosher i didnt know Steam sells physical copies! Very cool!

@N8tiveT3ch good for you, but the S2 launch definitively showed the world that the "Nintendon't" naysayers are a tiny and annoyingly whiny fraction of the internet.

@HugoGED thats cool you can get them all physical for PS5!

@Smithicus 15 years in dev, and the vast majority of it spent on gameplay. I prefer this graphical style over the hyperrealism pushed by most AAA gaming.

Just give me back Super Mario 35! I dont even need 40!

@SillyG so, no?

@SillyG does your PC version come with a physical copy?

@Fazermint when your system is perceived as being "for childen", don't be surprised when so many of the comments are...childish, I guess?

@Tibob thats "Mighty Mouse!"

@Koda1000 I think you assume too much.

@Koda1000 how does this go against backward compatibility, exactly?

FWIW, the Reddit post contains absolutely zero evidence. I don't believe it.

@TenEighty one mustnt be immoral to imagine an immoral thing. You have already done the latter, by speculating about the content of GTA 6. When i was recently in London, I saw a production of Macbeth. Should the police have arrested the lead actor because he killed people in the play? If not, why not?

Before we get out the pitchforks, lets make sure this actually happened. No one on the internet has ever been known to say amything false or inaccurate to drump up outrage, right?
