how the fuck do normies think this game looks good artistically?
Hollow knight's popularity is the biggest sign we live in a simulation with programmable NPC's

They were too young for flash games

shut up nigger

>>718953586 (OP)
Hive Knight starts a rock band, what does he call it?

Tenacious B

How brown are you op

>>718953586 (OP)
It has a distinct art direction and art style so that alone makes it look better than the generic bland realistic 3D slop that makes up the majority of the vidya market.

Unironically, a child's doodles would be a superior art style to the current state of the industry average

>>718953586 (OP)
Quiet faggot.

>>718953586 (OP)
What is it about being 16 that makes people want to make posts like this?
Like, I get it, no one should just uncritically consume media, but other than just spiteful contrarianism, what's the point of this post?

It's not even funny how older literal flash games mog it in style, soul and detail

>>718953586 (OP)
Artistically it's okay.
Not great, not bad, just okay.
Technologically it's bad, just like Ori.

Is this the same ORIfag who kept shitting up Hollow Knight threads way back when?

I have complaintard fatigue

I never liked the art direction. I always felt despite being touted as bugs, they don't look enough like em, which defeats the purpose of them being bugs.

>>718953586 (OP)
It looks great though. Visuals are clean, animations are fluid, designs are simple and memorable, and the color palettes of the different areas make them particularly easy to recall even years after you'd last played the game.

I can't think of a single bad thing about Hollow Knight. It's the Expedition 33 of 2017, except the characters are all bugs instead of frogs.

>>718953586 (OP)
I like the art style. It reminds me of the internal hallucinations I had when I had to have dental surgery

That sort of dark steampunkish victorian nautical machinescape purgatory "world between worlds and a place you've been before" feeling

Dunno how to describe it but this game captures it really well.

Eh, I tried to recommend it to my gf and normie friends but they all preferred Ori because it was very flashy and glittery

>>718954176
they all have better taste than you

>>718953920
>Not great, not bad, just okay.
Nah, it's pretty good. That's why every so called "Hollow Knight clone" is trying to copy it and yet they all look worse.

>>718954098
In 2017?
That would be Cuphead, Hollow knight doesn't match E33

Only blacks hate Hollow Knight.

>>718954098
>>718954446
E33 is a horrible comparison anyway. UE5 blurry parry slop entirely carried by the writing?
Hollow Knight is miles better. Also Cuphead, while great, made me realize I really don't like run and guns.

>>718954231
Taste is subjective and all but I have to watch movies with them so I know they're also diehard MCU, Nolan, Sandler, Makoto Shinkai fans. That's what was popular among normies back then but plenty of people are able to enjoy more understated art and media

>>718954720
>UE5 seethe
Just admit you can't run anything but 10$ metroidvania and roguelikeslop on steam

It's a gloomy bug world, it looks nice and has some good designs to work with that theme (and I don't even like HK).

I like how it looks

>>718953664
>if you grew up on flashgames
>you can't find the game that looks like a polished flashgame to be visually appealing
????????????

>>718954446
Hollow Knight is better than Cuphead though.

>>718953586 (OP)
I didn't like style, but overall it was fine and consistent.

>>718953894
They browse reddit constantly and see praise for it there which sends them into a mini breakdown over not having the "popular" opinion so they come here and expect to receive a bunch of reassurance because obviously 4chan has to hate everything.

>run around confused the game
I fail to see where the fun part is, is it the shitty frustrating platforming sequences?

999.999% flash art was bad because it was puppet/rigs with interpolated animation

HK is 100% fbf and when I say 100% I mean it. It had GINORMOUS spritesheets for every character.
That's why it looks so good - it combines the clean flash aesthetics with classic fbf animation. There is no other game on the market that could boast the same volume of fbf animations

>>718956125
mostly people don't run around confused because they aren't mentally retarded like (you)

>>718956173
>There is no other game on the market that could boast the same volume of fbf animations
cuphead probably could, to be honest

>>718953586 (OP)
Cause it's 'safe humble cute chungus' bug. It's pathetically inoffensive for the zoomer mind

>>718956125
stop being stupid so you dont get confused and constantly find where to go

>>718956125
exploration is a white man's hobby
you wont get it

>>718956309
Quality wise - sure. But not volume wise.
Also, Cuphead isnt metoidvania, whole Cuphead "world" is like 10% of HK (not that it matter in the context of the conversation)

>>718956334
roleplaying as a bug is for bug people

>>718956501
only white people can role play and show empathy
no one else has the capacity for it

>>718956309
I'm not so sure, a majority of the animations of cuphead are extremely short loops and they reuse frames as much as possible. The game is also somewhat short. If you added up the total number of unique frames I feel like it would be smaller than expected.

If i can’t enjoy a game drunk it’s a shit game, i’m not gonna remember some obscure place i can now enter five game hours later when i got some shitty upgrade, mark it out clearly while i’m enjoying my beverage, stop wasting my time

>>718953586 (OP)
Because of the way it's animated
The designs are simplistic to facilitate this animation, naturally they look bland and unimpressive in stills
That said, the animation itself isn't impressive precisely because there's not much detail

>>718956628
you seem to think that female traits are white traits, are you sure you're not a bug yourself?

God I fucking love how angry and miserable this game's success and its sequel's hype are making you.

>>718956774
white women are infinitely more of a person than any brownoid

>>718953586 (OP)
it becomes a lot easier to appreciate the art of the game when you realize everything in the game was hand drawn and scanned, rather than being done via pre-made assets

>>718956963
That's every flash game ever which you have clearly not played a single one

>>718957060
>other people did the same thing before that means this thing is bad

>>718957145
It's pretty bad compared to other flash games

>>718954652
This, it's a very white-coded game

these "debates" and "arguments" are so fucking shit holy fuck:
>uhmmm why do people think [game that everyone thinks looks nice] looks nice ?!?!
>WHY do people like [game that everyone likes] ????
>bro how THE fuck can people enjoy [game that everybody enjoys] ????
>sisters who the HECK thinks that [game that has objectively nice visuals] has nice visuals ?!?!?!?!?
the fuck is this shit brah, are you people that bored?

>>718954231
Ori is visual vomit that actually gets in the way of seeing what's going on on the screen. HK might be kind of ugly, but it least it functions as a game.

>>718953586 (OP)
>we live in a simulation
Have you considered for a moment that rather jumping to the conclusion that everything around us is fake under some twisted view of solipsism, your opinion might be just shit.

>>718957974
How can you not see the bright glowing character you play as you blind fuck

>>718953741
ha
good one anon

>>718957974
Nah Ori is gorgeous and you're a blind retard.
