I'm downloading this to see how well it runs now. BG3 was one of those games I thought didn't deserve to have a Deck Verified badge applied to it due to the fact that the 3rd act isn't actually playable at all on the Deck.

Well, you CAN technically play it, but it's about as fun as punching yourself in the face over and over again.

I wasn't too interested at first, but then I saw the pink bunny with the chainsaw...

interesting that they're nerfing sister splinter, i didn't find it that hard and i don't normally play difficult action games like this

Those spinning guys she'd spawn were a pain in the butt to deal with.

It's punishingly difficult in a way that makes it not fun or enjoyable for me to play.

I beat the game last night (the bad ending). I was thinking of offering up some tips that could help you along, but really, the game gets so tough later, you probably wouldn't have fun even with the few tips.

I mean, I have a high threshold for frustration, and genuinely love games that make me say a string of bad words as I bang my fist against the arm of my chair, but there were more than a handful of times that really pushed me here. If you're getting this frustrated so early in the game, the latter half will probably drive you to commit straight up brutal murder.

I'd say wait for some cheats to pop up, or watch some Lets Plays.

I have a blister on my thumb because of this game.

Hornet is still so weak right now, she just feels SO fragile, and the bosses taking two hearts just for even the slightest mistake is brutality.

This is something that lasts throughout the game. You can mitigate it somewhat with mask pieces and pins, but you'll always be pretty fragile.

Overall, I'd say Silksong starts to ramp up the difficult earlier than Hollow Knight, but, thus far anyway, it hasn't yet hit the ultra hard highs that the original did. I think I'm closing in on the end game, and I've yet to see anything as brutal as the Path of Pain yet.

So, you typically lay on your belly like a snake, with your elbows rested on a pillow in front of the TV with the controller docked, showing your ass crack off from having your pants a bit too low for comfort.

...yeah, that's me maxin' and relaxin'.

…and there's a 400 shell limit (not that that second currency seems to matter much)

It will a little later, though even then, it’s still plenty generous. The only way you’ll run short of them is if you’re doing a single difficult part over and over and over again, and you don’t stop to refresh them by killing random enemies between attempts.
