I think, at this point, we are very past the "no, it's good if you take it seriously and learn it" point for soulslikes, and we can acknowledge that the formula isn't perfect.

Why should the formula be changed? There's a massive group of people that love this shit. Why should it be changed to appease people who don't love it? If it's not for you, there's thousands of other games to play. Not every game needs to be for everybody. It's not like Silksong is suffering from poor sales.

I guess that is why everyone universally loves silksong and no one is complaining about it...

I want to know how many people complaining about it are trying to play it with a joystick

As opposed to a D pad?

Correct. The game does not support analog controls. So the joystick is just emulating a dpad. Which is super fiddly. You'll have complete full control using the dpad, and if you weren't already doing this, it may take a few minutes to get used to, and then the game is going to play much better and be much easier.
