It's not 2017 anymore.
The kids who played this game way back when have actually had time to develop their tastes. We have games like Nine Sols that did indie metrodvania way better than Hollow Knight could ever imagine to.
Massive flop and panning incoming, this game is just a bloated dlc for a boring, near decade old game.

In my first HK playthrough i quit in greenpath barely 2h in, completely missed the hornet clue about following her through the top part and went to fungal then died and quit.
Next time i forced myself to play it i clocked 15 hours in a day and couldn't fucking stop.

So i easily understand why people hate it, the start of HK doesnt make it easy.

The same reason why /v/ loved it so unanimously before it got popular. The extremely high quality nonlinear exploration with more well made route variety than 99.9% of the genre, much more interesting middle-lategame bossfights than 99.9% of the genre, huge fucking content, and cool world combined with a cheap price makes it impossible for it to not be a huge hit
It doesnt matter what anyones' contrarian ass thinks. It doesnt matter if a consequence of its popularity is that at one point, 60% of the fans are kids/people who never played a metroidvania before. You cant just erase its redeeming qualities from existence by pretending it never had anything special

But you keep dodging and making up things a real grown up doesn't understand.
You're confusing and twisting 4chan's stance about advertisement with user accounts which isn't correct.
You said they'll be making money, I'm not sure how? It's Twitter. Do people make money on Twitter now based on followers?
Following them is optional. I have no reason to follow anyone on Twitter because I don't use Twitter.
But your reaction makes me curious if you're just from some pansy generation who gets mad at anything or you're autistic and socially inept about how and why 4chan wanted to talk about the legality of advertising on their site.
Either way, you are the type of person I'd avoid in real life because you come off extremely unhinged and it's weird you're really wanting people to not follow them despite you have no actual control about who people follow or whatever.

it was good for its time, coming out in 2017 means it came out before a lot of the very good indie games that came after it

but more importantly, gaming has become a highly concentrated, centralized medium. There's so much competition that people only bother to play the best stuff, and Hollow Knight was that for long enough that everyone played it.

We live in a world where the best game will sell tens of millions of copies and a slightly worse game will sell 1000 copies. That's just how things are now.

I will never play Nine Sols, because the furry shota aesthetic is unappealing. And it's been marketed as parry slop. It's like comparing Sekiro to Dark Souls.

It's already a term, bucko. I'm using it, because someone else used it first, and it sounded good to my ears. The perfect way to define such a genre. Where the player base values parry combat over all else. Anyone who tries to claim the exploration in HK is bad, or even lacking compared to other games in the genre, is not an actual fan of metroidvanias. Rather, they value other aspects like like parry based combat.

A lot. First is the movement. When you move and jump in one of them, it has weight and momentum. In HK you float as if your character had no weight and a little booster rockets tied to his sides, which is also used on platforms to create segments that are fun to run once, and then boring to rerun when you have to backtrack.
Leveldesign in HK is the worst leveldesign I've seen in a video game outside of Final Fantasy 13 which has no level design. You have many roads open from the beginning but all of them except one are blocked and you have to spend a lot of time backtracking through the samey boring jumping rocket ship floaty garbage lego blocks. The levels are not interesting even visually because they are lego blocks retextured, it's all the same cubes. No slopes, no actual proper textures, just minecraft your levels bro.
All enemies are black and white bugs.
In other games you heal strategically by using limited vials that refill at save points. In HK you can farm healing any time you want.
Shit charm system with garbage systems like magnetizing geo or higher drops.
It's just one garbage after another, the worst iteration of every mechanic from all metroidvanias in one package.

So you feel the lighter character outweighs all of the movement options you have in Hollow Knight and the emphasis on using your nail to bounce on enemies and hazards?
I'm not even saying it's the best or revolutionary I just have a far better time moving around and platforming in a game like Hollow Knight than in, for instance, Aria of Sorrow.
>You have many roads open from the beginning but all of them except one are blocked and you have to spend a lot of time backtracking
But throughout a majority of the game, you have several options in which areas you want to tackle and in which order. Even in metroidvania's like Rabi-Ribi, you start the game practically required to do the first area or two before the game opens up unless you are able to pull off platforming tricks.
Nine Sols in particular, (which many debate isn't even a metroidvania) especially lacks exploration and what little times you can go off the beaten path has almost nothing to reward doing so.
>through the samey boring jumping rocket ship floaty garbage lego blocks. The levels are not interesting even visually because they are lego blocks retextured, it's all the same cubes. No slopes, no actual proper textures, just minecraft your levels bro.
You don't think Crystal Peak, Greennest and City of Tears are visually distinct?
>All enemies are black and white bugs.
The theme of the games is bugs but to say they aren't distinct is to be intellectually dishonest and you're becoming reductionist to a degree that it's becoming a fallacy.
>In HK you can farm healing any time you want.
Only if you have enemies to hit or use the dream nail on, the latter requiring you to remain still for over a second and opening yourself up to attack.

That's fair, honestly. Some of the "flaws" people whine about are part of why I liked it-movement felt intentionally floaty to fit the tone, and the backtracking was more like peeling away layers of the world than a chore. Not every game needs to hold your hand with fast travel five minutes in. If the vibe hits, it hits.

Maybe later. At the beginning you'll end up hitting dead ends because you don't have the light, you don't have the flying ability, you don't have this and that. While a good metroidvania generally expects you to remember to go somewhere later, they are not going to stonewall your progress on 6 routes out of 7 and fuck you in the ass because there is only random choice to try and get somewhere. I don't count dying and pogoing off of your shadow to somewhere as progression. Just play the game, all but one paths are blocked. None of the games I named does this and you can always move forward in a meaningful way.
>Nine Sols in particular, (which many debate isn't even a metroidvania) especially lacks exploration and what little times you can go off the beaten path has almost nothing to reward doing so.
You can kill almost every boss in any order you want and have your standard fare abilities like double jump or dash to progress levels and you are rewarded with jades and bows for exploring. Jades are like charms in HK, except in 9S they actually create variety from the beginning and all of them are interesting in some way. While HK is pretending to have varied level paths with meaningful choices, 9S actually has them.
>You don't think Crystal Peak, Greennest and City of Tears are visually distinct?
No. They are all the same square box mobile phone tier visuals, it all looks the same to me.
>but to say they aren't distinct
They are not. They vary in gameplay and one is a fat bug and another is a fast mantis etc. but they are all black and white bugs. Look at enemy designs in Blasphemous, that's variety.
>healing
Yes I know, it combines the worst aspects of metroidvanias. Farming to heal, pausing to heal in a game that is all about swift platforming.

I think you intentionally did not quote the part of my post that addresses it. The very beginning is linear but the game quickly opens up to allow you to choose several different areas. Most Metroidvanias, even Rabi-Ribi which I consider to be the most non-linear, is like this. You gain abilities that allow you to reach other areas, or at least parts of other areas, only as you play the game.
>You can kill almost every boss in any order you want and have your standard fare abilities like double jump or dash to progress levels and you are rewarded with jades and bows for exploring. Jades are like charms in HK, except in 9S they actually create variety from the beginning and all of them are interesting in some way. While HK is pretending to have varied level paths with meaningful choices, 9S actually has them.
I specified exploration not linearity on purpose. Otherwise, as I said in my prior post, you do not substantiate your issues with the charms to the point that there's even an argument to be had. It's just a bare assertion.
>No. They are all the same square box mobile phone tier visuals, it all looks the same to me.

>They are not. They vary in gameplay and one is a fat bug and another is a fast mantis etc. but they are all black and white bugs. Look at enemy designs in Blasphemous, that's variety.
You concede that they are in fact different and your own real issue seems to be that, while they are distinct, they are bugs. If you personally have an issue with, or don't care for bugs, that's a personal opinion, but it does not contain any objectivity to it.
>Farming to heal, pausing to heal in a game that is all about swift platforming.
I'm not sure on what basis you say the game is all about swift platforming but you cannot farm healing in the middle of platforming challenges and bosses put you at risk when you stop to heal and do not allow you to farm healing beyond the ways I set forth in my prior post.
I'm really not sure what is gained out of arguing in bad-faith. Especially to someone who just thinks Hollow Knight is a metroidvania among many others. My favorite is Rabi-Ribi followed by Aria of Sorrow.

I love Nine Sols but you very much cannot fight almost every boss in whatever order you want. You can only fight the first three Sols in any order, and almost nobody deviates from the Kuafu->Goumang->Yanlao order on their first go.

Unlike you I don't hide behind intellectual superiority and muh objective rational analysis. We are talking about a video game, which is inherently subjective. If I say all of the levels look to me the same because every level is made out of the exact same square, just retextured, that is my opinion. Your opinion is that they look different, that is fine. The only objective truth is that they are made out of the same square block and we can try to reductio or not reductio all we want, it will get us nowhere.
>I specified exploration not linearity on purpose.
>The very beginning is linear
Except the very beginning is not linear in HK and that is my point. It is all open and you can spend a long time going somewhere, except it all leads to a dead end. This is precisely why the level design is amateurish, and hides itself behind "choices" when they are only make believe in practice.
>You concede
You should stop trying to be this smart "I am argooing" guy trying to gotcha me on semantics. They are the same bland palette. You know what I mean, but instead of having a conversation you are trying to win an argument that exists only in your head.
>I'm not sure on what basis you say the game is all about swift platforming but you cannot farm healing in the middle of platforming challenges and bosses put you at risk when you stop to heal and do not allow you to farm healing beyond the ways I set forth in my prior post.

>We are talking about a video game, which is inherently subjective
Untrue, their are objective truths and comparisons that can be drawn that go beyond "I think this looks bad."
>Your opinion is that they look different
Whether they look different is truth. Whether it matters to me and you is subjective. I explicitly made that point and yet you're acting otherwise.
>Except the very beginning is not linear in HK and that is my point. It is all open and you can spend a long time going somewhere, except it all leads to a dead end.
To that extent, again, you can say that about Rabi-Ribi or Aria of Sorrow as examples. Metroidvanias intrinsically have deadends because, again, as you did not address:
You gain abilities that allow you to reach other areas, or at least parts of other areas, only as you play the game.
>You know what I mean, but instead of having a conversation you are trying to win an argument that exists only in your head.
You are explicitly avoiding parts of my posts that you cannot argue only to reiterate claims that, if you reference the parts of my posts you avoid, are already addressed. All I've done is provide reasoning in response to your claims and you are trying to create some fantastical version of me, a stranger, in your head to avoid responding to my reasoning.
>Well, you can continue to ignore what I don't like about it.
I addressed what you don't like about by explaining how it's untrue with examples. You have not addressed these points. Again:
you cannot farm healing in the middle of platforming challenges and bosses put you at risk when you stop to heal and do not allow you to farm healing beyond the ways I set forth in my prior post.

Then why did you post the same mobile phone tier design? The mushroom box in the bottom left in the air is the perfect example of this, it is the same basic building block that is just stacked together in the other 3 pictures, just retextured. It all looks like total garbage made in minecraft.

the thing is for me the appeal of the game is in the discovery of the world and the unraveling of the entire map

another playthrough doesn't really recapture that feeling and so you're left with the competent but unremarkable movement that makes it far less fun to replay than say metroid or ori

Oh i get it, yeah, a big part of metroidvania for me is exploration and movement, the former is impossible in any game and HK doesnt really offer much on the latter in replays compared to SM which i love to replay for the movement.

I think the combat is nice though, so when i do revisit HK its mostly the pantheons.
