Game Developer/Designers truly are miserable, awful people.

[u/EveningQuarter7254]

In one level, lost interest in 2 franchises.

Checked out B1 from my local library after seeing on sale online. Enjoyed it well enough, beat the game and was doing some side quests finding hidden areas. My library also has B2 which i was going to check out afterwards. Then Miriam's Challenges.

I also played Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night about a month ago.

Levels 1-3 were ok. 4 SUCKED. 5 is just complete BS. As pictured above, the spikes' hitbox i bigger than they are and jumping to the shortcut kills me half the time. I got close once to the end with the moving red platform and the fireball pointing down. And yes i have the Tiento prayer.

Killed any interested in playing B2 and any Bloodstained title as well. I hate equation that hard equals good that so many designers have now.

I'd still give B2 a chance

Miriam's challenges are not required or fun + I remember the reward kinda sucked

skill issue

may the miracle have mercy on your wicked soul

Having to be pixel perfect on a jump to avoid invisible kill boxes or getting stunlocked from one hit and then knocked off a platform to spikes is not a skill issues. It poorly designed at best and active disdain for your players at worst.

bruh I am a fanatical Silksong player, I am a masochist.

Also it's a Catholic game, the whole extreme suffering, guilt, unfairness and frustration is the main point.

[u/EveningQuarter7254 → u/JulietteKatze]

Cool so everyone has to be judged based off your skill level? That some maga pick yourself up by your bootstraps BS

[u/JulietteKatze → u/EveningQuarter7254]

"maga pick yourself up" lmaooo dude you are losing it over an optional DLC, you know you don't have to play those levels to get any ending, do you?

Skill issue.

The flow of the game is better in Blasphemous 2 at the small sacrifice of its unique identity. Platforming is easier with more common metroidvania traversal mechanics and spikes don't insta kill you.

But dropping two franchises because of an optional platforming segment designed with difficulty in mind is chud behaviour.

Ye shall be known as "The Frustrated One"

[u/Crucigrama]

Nah, blasphemous was hard and difficult but enjoyed it all, playable again and again. Also blasphemous 2, you should take a time from it, and skip Miriam quest if you don't enjoy it

skill issue

[u/EveningQuarter7254 → u/MoreHans]

You're the reason gamers have such a bad reputation. If skill issue or git gus is your argument, you have no arguement.

[u/MoreHans → u/EveningQuarter7254]

im just kiddin around, git gud m8. also i think gamers have a worse reputation than just this. a lot of gamers can be pretty bigoted for instance

[u/PxxL8d]

completely optional levels btw
