What is this shit?

>>718900997 (OP)
You fell for a grift, in the actual sense of the word.

>>718900997 (OP)
who cares?

>>718901274
>who cares about the most wishlisted game in human history?
What???

>>718901297
no, who cares if you can't buy it 2 weeks before release?

>>718900997 (OP)
How things used to be

>>718901325
>Who cares about the fact that the devs are hiding the price and not sending review copies of the most wishlisted game in human history?
What???

>>718901386
Yes. Who cares?

>>718901049
Ok, I'll bite. How is this a grift?

>>718901896
the game doesn't exist you retarded qtard

>>718900997 (OP)
Why do you need to buy it before it's out?

>>718902059
Say that's true. How does that get them money, which is the whole point of a grift? How are they swindling people when there is nothing to sell, no patreon, no source of income?

>>718902223
Retard, this game is a kickstarter goal. They already got the money for it

>>718902223
holy shit you're a moron

>>718900997 (OP)
>Some gay flash game that probably doesn't exist makes retards lose their minds

Neat

Yeah that is odd

game never existed outside of replacing the sprites in the original game with new ones to make it look like a new game. i could tell like 3 years ago when they kept lying about it and pushing it back and pretending it was going to be a real game now instead of a reskin dlc (which it clearly is if in the bullshots)

>>718901896
You are the dumbest person on this board. The devs took the money and ran. Tranny game would have sucked ass anyway

>>718902257

>>718900997 (OP)
I would buy it even if it costed 100 dollars, I know that it will be that good

>>718901386
Who cares, why would you buy a game before it releases, it's a digital good, there's no scarcity or reason to buy it beforehand. Are you retarded?

>>718900997 (OP)

So the spiders fled the kingdom before everything went to shit. I hope see them in Silksong.

>>718900997 (OP)
shit. u answered your own question.

>>718901896
in a week they will delay it

The miracle of a game not being spoiled before release.

>>718902692
>>718902669

>>718902946
Genuinely hope this happens. I've gotten kind of addicted to watching huge disasters in the last decade. Hilary, Warner Brothers, Ubisoft, it's genuinely magical watching such massive, earth shaking forces fumble so hard, and it just keeps happening. How could you not get addicted to it? So yeah, I really hope Silksong gets delayed and it really is a grift. That would just be so satisfying..

>>718902949
you played the first game. this is a reskin of it (duh, considering it was a free dlc when they first annoucned it) same map, same bosses, same abilities, same badges, same enemies, same bosses, everything
you just fight the dude form the first one as the final boss (so obvious its almost as retarded as the people hype for this trash)
you retards literalyl gave them money and fell for the oldest trick in the book rpetending its a full game and charging you $70 for it now a glorified costume swap

>>718903007
Hollow Knight is one of the best games of the 21st century, they get at least one chance to fuck up

>>718903237
>Hollow Knight is one of the best games of the 21st century

How hard will the game industry seethe when it's released for only $15 like the last game?

these threads have been really weird, it's like an actual release date completely mindbroke everyone

There was an attempt.

>>718903324
the journos are already boiling because they don't get early copies

>>718903284
Yes it is, objectively, it's an amazing videogame. Not being to your subjective tastes or you being mad at something unrelated to gameplay (tranny devs, etc) doesn't alter this fact in the slightest

Crazy how silksongfags have mental gymnasticsed themselves into thinking review embargos are good
They can only ever be used to hide a games quality to get more money out of suckers

>>718903713
were they hiding the game's quality when they didn't send out review copies of Hollow Knight and didn't even get a review from a major outlet until a month in?

>No review copies
>No price meaning the game will cost $80
>Bullying small devs (already 3 indie games got delayed because of Silksong)
>Strong and independent woman protagonist

Holy FUCK is this the worst game of all time????

>>718901386
I mean, why would they do that? Like what possible reason could they have to give something they promised to their kickstarter backers to journalists instead?

>>718903842

>>718903889
It's a not a review embargo. A review embargo is where they let the journalists play the game but put an embargo (hence the name) on their reviews up to a certain date.
Team Cherry just isn't giving out review copies. That's not a review embargo. There are no reviews to place in an embargo.

>>718903713
denying game journos exclusive early access to one of the most hyped games of the year IS based, yes

>>718903912
You are playing word games. They aren't letting people play the game before release therefore they know the game is dissapointing

>>718903912
It costs them nothing to give anyone the game, the semantic distinction you're attempting to make does not change the function of the action they're currently making (making sure no word about the game comes out, good or bad)

>>718903950
>>718903991
Not a review embargo.

It costs them nothing. It costs game journos everything.

>>718904063
only jeets play flash game slop like this

Cant believe how many retards even bothered to bite the bait. Saying that all of you are bored would be too charitable, you simply do it too often. I dont know that theres a single actual human being on this board, its 99% bots.

Wait this game was a fucking stretch goal? I actually never knew that, man this game is either ass or essentially nothing to write home about. Kikestarter beggers are all passion but no talent, no restraint and clearly no fucking brains.

oh my god it's gonna flop the devs are gonna starve

>>718904162

>>718904294
it was originally just going to be a reskin where you played as the ugly bitch female character until they found out that dumbasses would shell out like $50 for it if they pretended it was a real game without showing a single millisecond of footage

The voices in my head said so

I liked Hollow Knight, didn’t love it. I’m gonna give Silksong a try. I’m sure it’ll be good and sell gang busters. Why are there anons so hellbent on portraying this game as shit? Why do you care, is it really just because it’s popular? None of us are going to see a single cent of revenue. Seems odd to be so angry at an indie game. I’d get it if the fans were like Deltarune fans or something.

the devs spending years without updates while astroturfing and screeching where is silksong on twitter reddit and discord didn't clue you in?

>>718905047
Not so much that but I mean people saying it’s a reskin when that’s obviously not the case. And even if it were, that’s what the fans want.

itt: Americans utterly confused by the classic Australian work ethic.

>>718904294
The stretch goals were
>35k: Game is funded (Reached)
>39k: White Palace bonus area + 2 bosses (Reached, but the bosses were turned into elite enemies instead)
>44k: 4 additional quests + 2 bosses (Reached)
>50k: Wii U port
>56k: 2nd playable character (Reached, Hornet's campaign, DLC shuttered and turned into the sequel Silksong)
>62k: Colosseum of Fools (Added anyway)
>68k: 3rd playable character (Zote)
>75k: Vita port
>85k: The Abyss expansion + 4 more bosses
Funny to think they only raised 56k. If they did the same Kickstarter today they'd raise millions.

what do u guys think is the maximum price they could put on it and still sell gangbusters regardless? $60? $80? $100?

The reason to give review copies is to get eyes on the game. They already have everyone's eyes on it.

so $1000 isn't out of the question? I'm supposing you have that many hours in the first one, yes?

Here's my review (Top Secret don't share): it is reddit like the first one

>>718906160
Yeah how can they be selling the same exact game for $120 anyway?

>>718906240
i mean obviously since 4+ of the devs are trans and the rest are women or basedgoys

You will get further as you learn to play. Remembering how bad I sucked at the game at the start is downright embarrassing

>>718900997 (OP)
Good, fuck reviews.
Those jews are too comfortable getting free games only to not play and give a review from Chat GPT.

>>718900997 (OP)
The game looks like the original but better, they don't need to do anything and it will sell like crazy
It's actually a good marketing strategy because literally everyone will be talking about it over a short length of time but I don't even think it's intentional. They are just 3 low profile indie devs going 'games finished, enjoy'

>>718900997 (OP)
its called hype say nothing just drop the game

>>718900997 (OP)
>buy
Anon they are not going to denuvo a 2d metroidvania. The game will be out for free on a certain forum

my schizo headcanon is that they made it a fully 3d metroidvania and they don't want anyone to ruin the surprise, that's totally why the game took however many years it did

It's their game, they can do whatever the fuck they want.Game's quality will speak for itself, if it's a shit game, people won't buy it.Professional paid game reviewers are twats and bring nothing of value to gaming.

>>718906160
90 dollars? How could they do this, how could they charge 120 dollars for this? 150 dollars is an outrageous price! I will never forgive team cherry for making their game 200 dollars.

>hiding the price
what does that even mean? the game is not out. you cannot buy it. when the game comes out, you will be able to buy it.

>>718915265
>what does that even mean?
That means they are hiding the price of the game because they understand it will cause a controversy

This is a new level of schizo posting.

>>718915265
Most responsible people check the prices of things in advance and then adjust their budget or finances responsibly. For example if I wanted to buy a new $500 suit I'd check the prices and plan a day to go buy it and the time up to buying it maybe adjust my spending so the day of purchase doesn't throw things in a loop.
Now that a reason to look at prices beforehand is established you can look at the reason to hide a price. As here >>718915434
The price will cause negative press and they are kicking the can on the negative press.

>>718912789
>80 bucks
It's literally free.

The game is like few hours long because they made it last minute after grifting the hype for years. You can tell beceuse jews like Schreier and Geoff are in on it and shill the game as well.

So I'm guessing between gooners and the anti-team cherry crowd, we're not gonna be able to discuss the game on 4chan when it releases right

>>718917060
The discussion will continue until its quality increases

>>718903713
Journos are fucking woke retards. They always give Rockstar games insanely inflated scores and they're dogshit. Reviews don't matter. Just pirate it and see for yourself

>>718916847

>>718901386
>What???
WATT

Retards, the problem is not that journos are not getting review copy. The problem is that normal people are not getting the copy so they can't say if the game is dissapointing or not before release

>>718918881
Just because journos are retarded doesn't mean you can't use their retardness to gauge how shit a game is, which is something this developer fears

The last two days of seething have 100% convinced me that there are journos on /v/ because no one else would actually argue in favor of them getting free copies. Like /v/ hasn't trusted their reviews in a decade

The fuck is wrong with zoomer.

The game launches, on the day the game launches. Launch day. This was never a problem, tod Howard dropped oblivion remaster without even telling anyone it was finished.... which it probably wasn't.

What the fuck is a "wish list" or "pre-pay"? You give the guy your money and you get the game. Steam games are poor quality and it sucks as a multiplayer platform.

There's no price because Team Cherry is actually releasing the game for free. They're just that based.

>>718900997 (OP)

What's the problem? You'll see the price on release and wait a week for some good review.

>>718903950
The difference is it doesn't give the developer control over the reviews by letting them choose who to give review copies.

>>718901386
>What is this shit?
its for the kickstarter backers only. Also >wanting game reviewer opinions

Please understand. The shitposting community has been devastated by Team Cherry's decision not to give out review copies. They're reduced to coping with "Well, obviously that means they know it's shit!" Sad, really. If you can find it in your heart, please spare a (You) for them in these trying times.

>>718903713
"no day1 reviews" is the most retarded talking point you could've picked to shitpost

>>718927641
Yeah except first game was made in 3 years while this in 7 so expecting it to not cost 40+ is naive

>>718903613
>>718920575
don't you find it interesting he always seems to target indie games?
anytime a game makes big publisher cry he spawns in and schizoposts about them

and nothing of value is lost. fuck """journalists""".

>>718902542
Then why give a trailer and a release date at all? If that was their plan all along wouldn't it have been smarter just to stay silent until everyone forgets? Or even just quietly cancel the game once they killed it for all it's worth because of "creative differences" or some other made up excuse? Stirring hype back up and making a concrete date of release seems like a really stupid strategy if the game doesn't actually exist.

>>718905673
$50. It's still an indie at the end of the day.

>>718901386
Kickstarter backers get priority, fuck off kike.

>>718928443
that is the stupidest thing i've read this thread

>>718900997 (OP)
This would be the most leaked game of all time if Team Cherry wasn't being as protective as possible, I applaud their resistance to their annoying dogshit fanbase so everyone can play and experience it at the same time without a rat race of leakers, reviewers and bad actors spoiling it just to ruin it for everything.

>>718901049
if this is a grift they are shockingly bad at it, there isn't even a way to give them money for it yet

>>718912494
Sorry but resetera have agreed Team Cherry are fascists for not thinking about the game journalists. So you must go back.

>>718928443
That's an overly simplistic way of looking at it. Game budget is dependent on a lot of other things, but even aside from that there's expected sales, competition and consumer expectations (which is why the industry wants GTA6 to cost $100).

>>718901386
Why do you need to know the price weeks in advance?

>>718915434
>>718915835
And the price being unveiled on launch day somehow won't cause controversy if its too high? Are you two retarded? What difference does it make for them when its revealed? And as for budgeting massive poorfag style just prepare for the worst case scenario, which at the moment is 80 dollery doos, but there's zero chance they'd be that ballsy to go anywhere near that.

>>718900997 (OP)
The game has no DRM, so it's free

it will be 20 dollars but have a 50 percent discount for hollow knight owners making it 10 dollars for them

>>718928917
do you actually have a link to the post? i wanna see the retardation in all its glory. someone yesterday linked the thread, but i didn't feel like scrolling 40+ page of corporate shills seethe

The argument is that the lack of reviews is suspicious, but somehow that isn't completely invalidated by the inability to pre-order - getting money from people before the game release is literally the only reason to surpress reviews in the first place.

And knowing the price today vs knowing it the day it's released makes a difference how, exactly?

>Team Cherry cannot be considered an indie studio anymore because Hollow Knight sold millions, in fact they should actually behave more corporate and arbitrarily hire more people for that reason

Kek. Wasn't there a corpo conference in the last year that had people bitching and crying all across the AAA industry because they "felt it was unfair" that small indie studios were doing the same retarded shit big corpos were with mass incompetent hires.

>They aren't letting people play the game before release
This is usually the case
