Is Hollow Knight as good as they say? I hear there's some literal gay shit in there.

>>715870382 (OP)
its a great game but yea you gotta suck off the bug king to completion before he lets you into hollow kingdom.

It's honestly my favorite game
It won't turn on unless it connects to a Bluetooth button plug, but you can just set it aside after. It might buzz during a boss fight which is kind of annoying but it's worth it

>>715870382 (OP)
Yes, it's a GOAT-tier game.

No, it's fucking boring, mostly people with no personal opinion like it.

>>715870382 (OP)
The mandatory BLM and indigenous land acknowledgement was a bit much but you can mod it out.

>>715870382 (OP)
dogshit game that ruined the genre, only zoomers that have never played any other metroidvanias that came before Hollow Knight say it's good

>>715870382 (OP)
Trans people love it

most normie game ever created

>>715870535
Highly ironic comment considering being a contrarian tends to be the ultimate unthinking NPC attribute.

>>715870553
I have played and enjoyed every 2D Metroid and Castlevania, and have finished the Hall of Gods. So I feel like I am more qualified than most to judge Hollow Knight and I think it's a good game.

The No Loads Refused Deepnest Fuckpit is a bit much but technically it’s optional

>>715870382 (OP)
Its THE game, and a reason genre is called hollovania nowadays

>>715870728
Caveat: while I do include Harmony of Dissonance in enjoying all of the 2d Metroid/Castlevanias, I cannot in good conscience recommend it anyone

>>715870382 (OP)
Solid 8.5/10
But this game has the worst fans
and the worst haters
I fucking hate everyone who talks about it

It's good but sadly the base game is insanely easy

>>715871519
agreed and feeling the same way about increasingly more and more games
>>715871660
the dlc is free you fucknut

>>715871519
Okay so how about we talk about Nine Sols then instead. I played it because I heard from people that it's like Hollow Knight, and it's NOT like HK. It makes HK look like childplay.

>>715871984
>the dlc is free you fucknut
Why the fuck does it matter, retard? The story of the game has no challenging bosses.

>>715871519
>But this game has the worst fans
>and the worst haters
true.

>>715872313
your Aspergers is showing

>>715872483
>no argument

>>715872512
the dlc is part of the story of the game, but even if we ignore that, (You) died to many of the bosses. profoundly autistic and embarrassing to pretend otherwise

>>715872660
>the dlc is part of the story of the game
It's not you brown retard, you can complete the game without any DLC content

>>715872704
consult a dictionary as to the definition of "story" and consider expanding your vocabulary to include more insults than just "retard" my swarthy, projecting friend

>>715870382 (OP)
>literal gay shit
The blacksmith moves in with one of the painters. I can't think of anything else.
Your business if you want to think that's something sexual.

I played until I got an ending but I'm not really interested in playing more. It's not a bad game but I prefer platformers more akin to Castlevania. HK never scratched that itch

>>715872202
>childplay
HK combat has me actually using the brain to evade attacks in lategame, nine sols is great but its also just M2M2M2M2M2 defense
also interconnected nonlinear world > railroaded progression

As for your first statement, anon would SURELY hate 9S fanboys on /v/

>>715872313
>The story of the game has no challenging bosses.
I really dont get why people complain about this shit for Hollow Knight and not just about every remotely adjacent game.

I more with Failed Champion(when i wasnt very geared up), Grey Prince Zote (its practically integrated to the main game), Soul Tyrant, etc, far more than any boss in Dark Souls 2 or 3, or middle-lategame dark souls 1, most of which i beat in 1-2 tries. The only FS game that actually gave me trouble on occasion was Sekiro (havent played ER fully yet)
And then you have the DLCs, Nightmare King Grimm, Pure Vessel, etc are definitely harder than just about any DS1-3 boss
Think of Blasphemous, nearly every boss in blasphemous was a bit of a joke once i didnt have barely any estus, so i only deeply struggled with the first Amanecida when i tried to do her with only 2 flasks. But nobody bitches about that game either
Nine Sols bosses are practically a joke if you have played sekiro and most are first-try material, eigong is like 3-5 tries if you just go through the simon says logic and die twice or thrice to instant combo attacks you need to memorize. But nobody bitches about 9S's difficulty either

So i really dont get why people bitch about HK being too easy and not literally every other remotely comparable game. Do people struggle this much with rolling inside enemy attacks, or parryslop?
>>715872990
The grey mourner and the traitor child are lovers for eachother and both female
that pretty much exhausts the whole list

>>715870382 (OP)
It gets good after the first 5 hours

>>715875509
>I really dont get why people complain about this shit for Hollow Knight and not just about every remotely adjacent game.
???
Retard, probably because HK is the only popular game where every boss in main story gives no challenge

>>715870382 (OP)
it's even better than that

>>715870382 (OP)
it's excellent yes

>>715875958
Its literally on par with DS3 or Nine Sols unless you are slow on the brain and struggle with "roll forward when boss does anything" or "right click when boss does generic attack and simon says the rest"

>>715876096
>Its literally on par with DS3 or Nine Sols
Lmao, HK has 0 challenging main story bosses while in Nine Sols every boss is challenging

>>715876197
only if youre actually retarded
t. first tried yingzhao, goumang, xingtian, yanlao, kanghui, almost first tried LE but died once trying to UC the red ball, xingtian, ji, and took 4 attempts to eigong

>>715870569
troons have infested every game. Your point ?

>>715870382 (OP)
it insists upon itself

>>715870382 (OP)
It’s very average

You start the game hollow and end it filled with cum.

It’s the only metroidvania with enjoyable combat that I’ve played, and the music and atmosphere are very nice. It’s my favorite in the genre just slightly ahead of super metroid

>>715870382 (OP)
It's a great game, but a little hard to get into due to its difficulty and lack of direction.

>>715876096
Nah you’re just coping because you got filtered by Watcher Knights and think that means the game is somehow equal to Nine Sols' reflex checks. Hollow Knight bosses telegraph everything like they’re teaching you Sesame Street parries, and can be brute-forced with abyss shriek and 3 quick slashes. Nine Sols actually expects you to keep a rhythm and punishes panic mashing. Next you're gonna tell me False Knight is peak difficulty.

>>715881496
>It’s the only metroidvania that I’ve played
FTFY because HK is so simple it's really kind of bad and boring

>>715883137
the difference is that most of that in nine sols is single stimuli reaction simulator with nothing else involved, and a railroaded action game where youre always in pristine shape to battle the next boss. positioning and movement barely matters there in comparison and attacking is practically zero commitment
>and punishes panic mashing
barely, specially hard to argue for 9S being particulary difficult or disallowing of careless button presses when its entire side of defense and dealing with enemies is a directly simpler and shallower version of sekiro. Its already slightly easier to land a perfect deflect after immediatelly having misstimed it like sekiros, and the punishment for failing a perfect deflect is smaller than sekiro's in practice. Internal damage is much more forgiving than the chip in charmless, except the chip of charmless isnt a big deal in the first place, its getting posture broken in the middle of the combo when your posture gauge was maxed. And thats not considering how theres actually some degree of commital to attacks in that game

HK on the other hand, if you arrive at Failed Champion (the dream version of the first boss) at all early, you will have a tough fight that actually requires you to use your brain, be good at movement, react to shit falling from the ceiling while you dodge attacks, and has way more health than you compared to how fast it kills you. In 9S you pretty much need to deliberately not pick upgrades in that situation, and even then doing upgrade-less eigong isnt very hard outside of just taking a while because youre gonna be doing the same simon says against every attack, and the specific circumstance/position youre in for every attack literally does not matter
But i get it dude, you struggle with M2M2M2 parryslop, no shame in admitting that

>>715884084
>Internal damage is much more forgiving than the chip in charmless
Forgot to mention
9S also ends up adding piles upon piles of options to make the internal damage you received become completely irrelevant, because of how easy it becomes to get rid of it.
One of the skills you can get literally makes you lose your internal damage whenever you land a perfect parry, so unless you take a fuckton of misstimed parries in a row (OR youre fighting fuxi & nuwa because they hit like a truck) and THEN get hit before you manage to land any other perfect parry, then its basically an irrelevant mechanic after you acquire the skill. All things considered it is infinitely more forgiving for people who suck at pressing buttons deliberately, specially once you combine that with the classic case of "we made an estus clone where healing back to full takes 0 effort"

I forgot to mention one thing here

I see it as one of the best games ever made and can't really understand how 3 fags with 50k can beat teams of 200 people

>>715870382 (OP)
its really really fucking good the only weakness it has is that the first 1-2 hours can be kinda slow because you dont have any abilities but after that its non stop amazing.. in a way the first 2 hours are a good gatekeep to keep away retarded people.

it's a bad souls clone and a dogshit metroidvaina, people who like this are tasteless zoomers

>>715870382 (OP)
The combat is good but the exploration can get pretty tedious due to the way the map is designed. Classic moment is being the Mantis Lords just to be unable to progress due to lacking a specific power up. Worth playing if you think you might like the combat system.

>>715881496
Dread combat system is more fun.
