Thread 719202398

Is it unironically not only babby's first metroidvania but also babby's first 2D sidescroller?

yes it's very lenient with checkpoints and you basically have infinite health. The actual hard stuff is apparently at the end but I don't want to go through 15 hours of busywork to get there

>>719202565
>yes it's very lenient with checkpoints

Are they? Metroid feels more generous.

Long boss runbacks are a tedious waste of time so why would you count that as a praise for a game?

>>719202761
Nigga never played Metroid 1 or Super Metroid
>>719202398 (OP)
Yes, just like Cuphead is Baby's 2n'd sidescroller and Celeste is baby's first platformer.

so are we now pretending any metroid ever is harder than HK?

I'm starting to get metroidtrania fatigue.

babby's first has nothing to do with difficulty, it just means it was the babie's first game

Hollow knight bad thread #4823275 today

>>719202958
in other words it means fuck all

>>719202851
exploration is harder in metroid
bosses aren't outside some bullshit like dread mode
it's borderline impossible to die in HK after you get dreamgate anyway besides for like 2 bosses that deal double damage

>>719202995
It means it's praise is empty and worthless because the players haven't experienced any other game in the genre

Yes, but just because something was the casual's first exposure to the genre it doesn't mean that it's bad.
I played it when it launched before it got big and had a pretty good time with it, probably my favorite modern metroidvania.

I'm not going to start hating it now because it got popular among people who never played a single metroidvania, you should simply pity those people who have played such shit games all their lives that a competent game made with passion is a masterpiece to them.

>>719202398 (OP)
just felt like a slog of a game to play
I'd rather just spend my time on another metroidvania

HK bosses and the white palace put whatever you consider classic metroidvania to shame

>>719203108
lol
HK is not just harder than any metroid ever, it's MUCH harder

>muh bosses
you wouldn't survive against a novice street fighter player

I wish I could anally fuck everyone in this thread. I'd do it.

>>719203564
Money match me in ST.

>>719203540
Not watching that trash. Come back to me when the game's challenges take longer than 3 minutes to beat.

>>719202565
It's also very lenient with the soul retrieval thing, I noticed that if you die during boss fights it's always possible to lure the ghost outside of the arena so you never have to kill it while also dealing with a boss

>>719203869
bitch that section would take you 45 minutes

ANAAAAL PENETRATION!!!!!!!!!!!

>>719203457
HK bosses all have easy as fuck patterns with huge intervals of nothing so you can heal or damage then with no risk, they're also HP sponges and tedious as fuck to fight, at least the main campaign ones, I never bothered with the endgame arena

>Dude this game about opening doors and backtracking is super duper hard
Why don't you fags play these shitty super difficult bullet hell games if you're so good?

>>719203540
>le hard game
Yeah we know this garbage is more worried about being souls trash than a metroidvania, and it's not even hard if you're not completely trash at videogames, it just never makes you powerful so it's a bore from start to finish

>>719203540
>path of pain
that's not indicative of average platforming
that's like me linking some shinespark speedrunner strat and pretend that's the game

>>719202821
>Nigga never played Metroid 1 or Super Metroid
They're 40 year old games, unc.

>>719204098
They wont, soulshitters fear actually hard games

Me and my guild ( Dads Who Like To Fuck) loved this game back in the day.

>>719202821
Hollow Knight ends up much harder than super metroid by the end, not even counting god home. Also Metroid 1 is shit.

>>719204449
trvth nvke

>>719204449
No shit the game that has barely any upgrades is "harder" by the end

>>719202398 (OP)
>buzzwords

>>719204616
>spells
>sword techniques
>charms
>heath and souls upgrades and sword upgrades
>double jump, dash, wall jump etc
glad we can agree its harder though

>>719204449
It doesn't, it's an easy simple ass slow paced game from start to end.

>>719204756
>The most basic ass bitch mechanics
La Mulana would murder you

>>719205842
>"game doesn't have upgrades"

>>719206114
>>719204756
Not the guy who said the game didn't have upgrades but
>spells
>3 of them which barely any application other than doing damage
>crystal dash that's literally useless as shit
>Walljump which should be part of the default moveset
>Double jump when the combat barely requires it due to being piss easy
>Health, resource and dmg upgrades
lmao
>charms
Stock standard trinket mechanic, everyone just puts longer nail or movespeed anyway since the game is too fucking slow

>>719205842
Cool, now show us Pantheon 5.

>>719206409
First show me your pantheons.
What are you so afraid of?

>>719203540
Why is a bug dropping feathers?

>>719206467
Sure, haven't played this since like 2021 so it's been awhile. Didn't do any handicaps on this file but here's proof. I found it to be a fun challenge, its mostly an endurance run before you reach the last stretch of superbosses that are actually tough

>>719206467
>>719207392
Didn't ever getting around to killing Markoth or Radiance hitless. I found the superbosses like NKG and PV to be the easiest of the bunch to do hitless since the game basically demands you to master them before you can even beat them once.

>>719207704
I didn't know there was a practice room for all the bosses down below so I spent a large chunk of my time on the final pantheon wasting 30 minutes on easy bosses before getting destroyed by NKG or AbsRad at the very end

>>719207704
that's because markoth and radiance are random bullshit, while vessel and grimm aren't
>t. 100% hall of gods

>>719207704
Markoth the shield guy?
just git gud

>>719207392
>>719207704
The collector in all bindings is legitimately the only boss fight that REQUIRES the use of nail arts.
downloading the game to take screenshots

>>719202398 (OP)
I have seen "people" call this game a hardcore platformer so i guess its still managed to filter some people

>>719208478
There's no floor when you fight him at Godhome and you die instantly to everything

I would say it's babbys first indie

>>719202398 (OP)
>popular thing is bad
wow such an original personality

>>719208787
Just use the platforms bro
I know how it changes

>>719203540
Path of pain isn’t hard, play Super meat boy dark world or Celeste for some recent hard 2D plat’s
