Why are they like this? And even worse why do so many consumers have this "sIop quantity > quality" perspective?

This was already a massive flaw with Hollow Knight that they just mashed a bunch of shit together with no care about the bigger picture and that's how we got such a horrible map design, poor pacing, lack of progression, and nonsensical design decisions

STOP. JUST FUCKING STOP. IT'S GONE ON LONG ENOUGH, YOU HAVE RESTATED THE SAME THINGS AGAIN AGAIN AND AGAIN. I'M TIRED OF IT.

if someone had a lisp they would say thilk thong

Hollow Knight has great world design but it did have pacing issues. Silksong will probably be even worse.

And its still gona be game of the decade.
Bless team cherry!!

People who like Hollow Kn*ght have never played Super Metroid. If they did, they would not even disrespect Super Metroid or SotN's name to call this abomination a "metroidvania"

i believe you but for others it may be better to not merely make things up without any citations

It's time we have a conversation about racism against Australians.

>Don't play test
Where did they say that???

>>718770645 (OP)
Well it can't really be that much bigger cause the trailer says 40+ bosses and HK had 47 bosses which puts it at having potentially less bosses than the first game.

>>718770904
it was never supposed to be a genre. it was great in the 80s or 90s but it's not something you can play again and again unless you are mentally ill. hollow knight offers nothing new

>>718770904
I played SotN again recently and HK is an infinitely better game. It's better in quite literally every single way. Gameplay is better, exploration is better, art direction is better, bosses are better, music is better, movement is better. Fucking everything.

>devs just doing whatever the fuck they want not listening to anyone but their own gut and experience on what would be fun or cool
Pure soul which is why /v/ hates them.

>>718771269
/v/ is just seething because "silk song never ever" the meme just died

>>718771269
That sort of attitude is what creates a game with lots of ideas but underdevelopment of those ideas.

"Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle," as the saying goes. That shitty Alone in the Dark game from 2008 had that problem (stuffed a lot of gameplay concepts into a game that didn't give them any kind of underpinning to make them meaningful to the experience, resulting in a buggy slog of a game).

>>718771269
Is there a game /v/ is more contrarian to pretend they hate than Hollow Knight?
