Is it the same people complaining about every game in the genre? I feel like there might be a core of people who don't like this kind of game, but aren't content to just do something else.

Which, as someone who falls into that trap shit talking DND 5th edition I guess I get it.

What are the odds it also ends with the necrophilia gay incest plotline

i wasn't a big fan of SOTE

loved the story and lore but the gameplay was pretty poop

I am really bad at this game and never played a metroidvania before at all, I have died like 30 times to lace but managed to beat her. Everytime I need to buy something more expensive than a map (50 beads) I find my self farming the in the scummiest ways possible because I can never save up the beads for it from dying too much, every single boss fight with the exception of the first 2 have been extremely frustrating to me, I somehow really struggle to use the diagonal attacks at all in part because I am can't even get consistent at them (i miss about 10% of time) despite knowing exactly how to, the pogo sections on those pumpkin things are an absolute nightmare I spent 1.5+ hours to get from extremely bad at it to just very bad at these pogo sections

Ok, but I think the "enemies deal too much damage" complaint is a fair one here. In the first game double damage was rare and special, but in this one they just handed it out to basically everything. Kinda makes the first mask upgrade feel kinda pointless since going from 5 masks to 6 still leaves you dying in three hits to every boss.

Recently saw pretty much the same meme, same premise mostly, but with DS2. History is bound to repeat itself and gamers are notoriously shchupid and whiny
