Thread 718879817

You guys didn't tell me to expect kino of the highest order.

Anyone who talks about Nine Sols says that though

>>718879817 (OP)
we totally did

How long is an appropriate amount of time to wait before replaying it? I want to give it the respect and reverence it deserves.

>>718879817 (OP)
>you guys didn't tell
missed all the nine sols threads, huh?

>>718879817 (OP)
A better System Shock than System Shock
A better Prey than Prey
A better Deus Ex than Deus Ex
A better Aliens than Aliens
A better Sonic, Freedom Planet, Elysian Tail, Matrix, Alien Isolation, horror action game than all of them combined.

>>718880470
Don't forget a better Megaman and Warframe too.

The feeling of emptiness didn't subside after I finished it and i checked out the supplementary manga that flesh out the world. And also came across the band that performed the credits song. I highly recommend you guys to check them out. They make some kickass music.

I gave it a little over a year and that was enough time that while I got many bosses 1st try/very quickly, I'd forgotten some of the smaller details and Eigong was still a challenge. Unfortunately because I died much less and spent less time going back to the pavilion, I missed out on some dialogue even though I still got true ending.

GOD I FUCKING LOVE CATS

>friend refuses to play this because of furry characters
he has only consumed hollow knight and refuses to try anything else

>>718880927
Isn't Hollow Knight furry adjacent in a way?

>>718880974
anyone still trying to push for fursecution in 2025 isn't operating on logical vectors

Just checked the steam stats. I refuse to believe that so few people played the game. It has youtube videos with over 300k views. How come the numbers are so low

This thread will 404 immediately if you don't use the game's name in the OP.

>>718881947
In my experience putting the game name in the OP is a good way to get autosaged depending on who is online

>>718881285
It's not that long a game and went under the radar so it's understandable it doesn't have that high of a concurrent player count.
For me personally I didn't even play it on Steam too.

I think the spike in difficulty with Eigong was too much but I still loved overcoming it in the end. Heard people say the game has too much dialogue. I don't get it. It doesn't even have all that much. Most of your playtime is spent with gameplay.

>>718881285
>>718882159
your shit FOTM game flopped furniggers.
you spamming these miserable threads endlessly and fooling people into playing this trash doesn't make it any less of a totally garbage game.

>>718882470
>Heard people say the game has too much dialogue. I don't get it. It doesn't even have all that much.
Did two true ending playthroughs and I don't get this either, and I'm someone who absolutely values gameplay over story even when it comes to RPGs. I felt a lot of it was well paced, and even found myself attached to the characters by the end.

>>718882874
agreed

>>718881947
the neet catalog filter catches the filename which is how I even found this thread

>>718882470
>>718882928
normies are just angry the had to pause the video essay/podcast they have been playing at 2 times speed as background noise while playing the game.

I love Yi, he’s so cute when he’s mad

>>718884280
remember that moment where he put a brain control collar on the delimbed farmer freak next to her gutted children. That was super cute.

I was honestly surprised how good the storytelling and characters were in this game. I read the taglines on its steam page "difficult, soulslike" and thinking I'm mainly in it for the gameplay, but no, not only did it have great gameplay, it also had pretty compelling writing. Like story moments like Yi and Heng's relationship and Yi having to say goodbye to Shaunshaun actually touched me emotionally.

Also it's funny they snuck in a neutral but tragic portrayal of incest in this game that I got to respect the devs for that.

>>718884463
He was just grumpy

>>718884463
If you haven't had a coworker that you'd paralyze then dropkick into a woodchipper you haven't been employed

>>718884878
If my coworker didn't wear pants I'd be too busy thinking about her thighs.

>>718884503
I don't know how intential it was but the fact that this game is so gameplay focused with long stretches of the player having to lock in and face high difficulty adversity pairs so well with the downtime you feel when you come back to your base and develop Yi's relationship with Shuanshuan and company. The music has all these eastern isntruments that are commonly associated with meditative music and contemplation. It's so easy to grow attached to the characters because you spend relaxing time with them after long stretches of high tension fighting. And by the end when you have spend so much time with these characters and found out so much about the lore and ramifications this plot has.. Man when you overcome that final challenge and watch the last cutscenes as they lead into the credits with the music. It's like a true walking into the sunset moment.

>>718885046
imagine the smell

>>718879817 (OP)
>story ended in a closed way so we will never get a long awaited sequel like silksong
bwos...

>>718885150
Nah, that warmth and skull-crushing thighs are more than enough.

>>718880147
Eigong is so hyped by everyone that I actually found her moveset underwhelming in the end. At least until phase 3.
She did take me several hours to beat but it was mostly just an exercise in endurance given how much health she has and how few opportunities you have to hit her with your sword. So by the end of it, the fight just felt routine rather than epic. I don't know how this could be fixed though.

>>718885075
Why is Shuanshuan forcing them to eat under threat of violence?

>>718885046
I like how tired she looks, I imagine waking up only to find out everything has gone to shit wasn’t the best morning.

>>718879817 (OP)
it's no hollow knight

>>718885359
That's just his cooking knife. Don't worry about the fact Ji saw it used to murder an entire clan hundreds of years ago.

>>718885313
>use another character for a prequel like the comic did
>or invent a new space-animal race
>or bs a reason why the Fusang wasn't limited to the island and bring Yi back

They'll come up with something if they want more.

>>718885313
I can think of at least three different ideas for sequels off the top of my head.

>>718881285
Gen Alpha watches games, they don't play them.

>>718885387
Motherfucker played through the whole game without using talismans or arrows out of spite.

>>718880927
Isn't chinese furry called neko or something? It's not real furry

>>718879817 (OP)
this game is shit

>>718885550
Isn’t there a second part?

>>718879817 (OP)
>sekiro if it was 2d and shittier and had furry characters for trannies to goon over
nah

Last boss too hard 0/10

>>718885947

>>718886070
Isshin was a lot easier than that NS bullshit.

>>718880257
Is this a cultivation/xianxia adjacent game?

>>718886338
You can consider it a sci-fi xianxia, but it's very low power compared to most xianxia stories. No cultivation.

>>718879817 (OP)
Neun Seelen? Ja, das war ein gutes Spiel.

>>718886338
>>718886507
what do you mean by cultivation? Is this an agricultural meme or something?

>>718879817 (OP)

I'm glad you are enjoying it, I didnt expect it to be that good either.

>>718886607
Cultivation in the context of Chinese fantasy involves practitioners attempting to increase their spiritual power until they become an immortal. You can maybe if you really really stretch it apply that to Eigong attempting to find immortality, but Fusang cucking her makes Nine Sols an explicitly anti-cultivation story.

>>718886872
Does that mean Yi successfully cultivated?

>>718886872
why do chinese people always do this? Why can't they just like chill or something.

>has powers of foresight
>does nothing
>everyones dies

>>718886338
I'd consider Nine Sols more xuanhuan than xianxia.

>>718880564
>They make some kickass music.
Seconding this. They're in my top 3.

>>718880564

This track slaps so hard.

>>718886997
lolno, he blew himself up trying to make a butterfly and Fusang only took pity on him for the purpose of making him Fusang's undead revenge soldier.

>>718887170
counts

>>718887080
he just wanted to chill and be gay or something, he never asked for this

>>718887163
Need a banger for a boss fight, just remix an opera song.

>>718887080
total chad. If i had the power to heal cancer and improve the world i would totally just sit on it and die without telling anyone. Fucking kino.

>>718887352
>>718887268
only thing he had to do was tell the old cat to "dont use my cells for immortality juice, that will cause super tree cancer"

>>718880257
cute heng

>>718887612
I don't think he knew it would cause space cancer, he's not omniscient, his foresight is limited.

What can men do against such reckless basedness?

>>718887612
By that point they were already dying of tree flu, I don't think the tree cancer really changed much

>>718887845
fair

>>718887830
You can try running
