  • Yeah, I hear it a lot how Arthas’ story was about a man whose ideals were slowly corrupted

    When I played through WC3, I thought his sudden shift in tone was honestly jarring, as his previous (albeit morally questionable) decisions were made during a time of war, where the entirety of humanity was on the brink of collapse. And then I’m supposed to believe this demon showed up, taunted him and Arthas just… followed him? Because he was getting irrational?

    I’d call that sudden shift from “I’d do anything to protect my kingdom” to “gotta beat up this demon real quick, taking a large army and leaving the northern empire exposed” completely unexpected

    Then he got his soul stolen, after which point you can hardly blame him for anything that happens




  • I’m about 10 hours into silksong and it’s amazing, don’t get me wrong. But the majority of the boss fights seem… cheap?

    Like, their difficulty doesn’t come from their various attacks, or their environment. Instead, it usually comes from the fact that they do double damage, or the fact that they spam the same two attacks over and over way too quickly, or the fact that they can do the same add summon three times in a row and make what was a controllable situation practically impossible

    Now, I’ve 112% the OG hollow knight and beaten true radiance, so I’m not against difficult boss fights. In fact I relish the feeling of learning their moves and patterns after every single death

    But when the moves are “ram into wall. Then ram into wall again” it becomes incredibly annoying
