Thread 718698975

I have never played a video game in my life.
I told my friend I would start with Silksong like, before the COVID thing happened.
Well, now it is actually time and I have the money.
Which of these things should I be playing the game on?

pc

what the fuck is this kind of question.

Then buy Switch 2 and skip HK and silksong. They're no different from all the rollslop. Super Metroid and Dread mogs them

>>718698975 (OP)
just buy an ancient desktop for $100

>metroid dread

yeah enjoy your 8 hours of gameplay for $60

Gamepass for day 1 playing and leaving your physical copy sealed.
Then later get it on a sale on whatever.

Switch 2

Hollow Knight needs to be played with a controller.

>>718699813
pretty sure you can connect controllers to a pc

>>718698975 (OP)
You just happened to never played a video game in your life so you come directly to 4chan, the video game board, with a custom image of different brands. And you aren't invested in making a platform warring thread.

Right. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight. I don't know what it is about these threads, but China/Southeast Asia specific seems to go on shitposting sprees to validate their PCs. This is a game that can run on almost all the platforms its on, why would you make this thread if not to make dubious PC platform warring?

you lost tendie

If you've literally never played a video game before, go for something simple with a long term plan. You need a console, that you can just plug in or download games on with no fuss, one that can play a majoirty of games out nowadays with a large backlog to dive into if you ever want other games to play.

I'd suggest getting Hollow Knight: Silksong for the Nintendo Switch 2. The Switch 1 would work too, but the Switch 2 can play all the Switch 1 games and will also be supported with actual new games for the next 5-10 years. So get the Switch 2, get Silksong, and enjoy. I'd suggest learning more about PC gaming in the future, but for a beginner, a new Nintendo console with backwards compatibility is all you need.

Have fun, OP.

hollow knight plays perfect on keyboard too, its up to you

>>718698975 (OP)
out of curiosity, how much do you use the keyboard, how fast do you type, do you typically rest with a hand on it, etc?
just trying to figure out whether playing your first ever game with a keyboard or controller would be more interesting
also why not start with hollow knight?
