I'm literally 65kg for 180cm
fuck you guys do you even sit on a chair 18 hours a day?

I do agree with the expansiveness of the game world that more direction should have been given.

Earlier Metroid games didn't hold the player's hand on where to go but it also felt like the number of options or roadblocks kept players on a tighter path as they tried to figure out where to go next. Hollow Knight feels too large to really expect the player to intuit where to go first and know when they're on the critical path.

if you cant stretch to have your face touch your knee you're incredibly inflexible or have strange body proportions

If you play games with your internet disconnected, Steam is unable to log the hours played.

>intro is actually kinda cool
>all of a sudden I get filtered hard by the fucking UI and pleb crutches
just quit gaming and find a hobby where you can smash your dick flat with a hammer or something else moronic

they went hard with that in fusion and basically every game afterwards followed the same formula
dread uses a bunch of tricks too, by basically locking you into specific zones you can't exit once in

I’m so happy I get to enjoy things /v/ hates.

>no map
There is a map
>Fast travel
There are multiple methods of fast travel
>Or even a marker
There is a marker

Fusion was the only one where you were just being shoved along with little to do outside of progressing to the next thing.

Zero Mission directs you where to go but it's only a benign nudge. You don't have to do what it tells you to if you think there's somewhere else you can go (and indeed the very map is designed to let you find ways to negotiate it that don't rely on the critical path). Metroid Prime also tells you where to go but doesn't necessarily expect you to do it if you're not feeling it at that moment (although it keeps telling you to go there if you have the hint system turned on, which is annoying after awhile if you're just trying to leisure explore and see what you can open up with your current tools).

>getting filtered by fucking hollow knight in the year of our Lord 2018
If you didnt make it out of the tutorial area, you have no buisness calling the game bad

>>718592716
not that anon, and i can bite my knee, but its uncomfortable as fuck to do and also a really fucking weird thing to do especially as a rage reflex. you niggas have serious autism if this is something you think is normal.

>>718591930 (OP)
gitgud, you didn't expect a walking sim did you

>>718591930 (OP)
You just had bad luck in your exploration, the game throws you a map really quickly if you choose the right path and if you dont you also find fast travel really fast. The first area is shaped like an O so just keep looking and you will eventually find the things you want.

>>718592565
Meh, i disagree that the first area is to expansive, the genre is more than 20 years old bycthe time the game released and was funded by people who loved this style of gameplay. Expecting a little more from beginners is more than fine.

I love super metroid but its start is just too basic for anyone with any experience in the genre. I guess what im saying is that HK shouldnt be your first metroidvania.

>>718591930 (OP)
Nice copypasta

>>718595804
Based post. The amount of people that don’t realize Cornifer is literally humming like two rooms away from where they spawn is staggering. Game practically hands you a map and fast travel before the first boss if you walk left for more than 5 seconds. But sure, blame the game for not slapping a waypoint on your UI like it’s Ubisoft.

>>718600038
It commited the carsinal sin for retarded players: it gave them a choice, left and you get a map, right and you get fast travel and the boss quicker

People above said metroid is better because it gives the illusion of choice.

I wanted to play this game but stopped after realising there is no equipment for me to customise my character and you only get to use the sword
