Thread 719710523

so there are people who've already played the game through.

>>719710523 (OP)
yeah,i doubt it's going to be longer then 20 hours. the first one was like 15 hours, even shorter if you are experienced with the genre, you could probably finish it in half that time.

/our guy/ arlo did too

>>719710606
this is ragebait right? im really bad at platformers but it took me 80 hours to get to the final boss (not the radiance just like the first credits) and then i got up to 114 by the time i did the grimm troupe, the other dreamers, path of pain, etc

>>719710924
These cunts speed through the game but it will give you a good idea on how long it could be.

>>719710924
there is definitely not enough content in the first game to last 80 hours for the regular ending hollow knight boss. like 20 hours at most. that would be like taking 80 hours to beat monster hunter wilds campaign.

How?

>>719711271
>like 20 hours at most.
dude, the average for people who only zipped through the main story(normal gameplay, not speedrunning) with little to no exploration and never wasting time is around 25-27 hours
if you do most content, you're already above 35 hours, and if you do it all you'll easily go past 50.
yes, there is definitely not enough content to last 80 hours, but it's not "20 hours at most"

>>719710606
>the first one was like 15 hours, even shorter if you are experienced with the genre
holy shit you're full of bullshit
experienced players in the genre usually finish it in 30 hours when doing nearly all side content

>>719711463
depends when you got the game too, its ridiculous to assume a new player buying hollow knight now will 100% the game with all the extra stuff added in over the years. even given how big the map is i'd say 30+ for a non metroidvania player.

>>719710523 (OP)
Journey, a game that can be cleared simply by walking forward was goty wasn't it

>>719711663
yes, but how long it takes to complete Journey is irrelevant in its case, cause the beauty of that game is in how you interact and help future players when you keep playing the game after finishing it

>>719711463
lol, the average person stopped playing it after 2 hours. Just look at steam achievements.

>>719710523 (OP)
it's clickbait, they didn't send anyone early copies

>>719710924
>ragebait
Hollow Knight sold 15 million copies.
I'd wager 8-10 million of those players followed a guide from start-to-finish and unironically think they played the game.
Never let a numbernigger tell you how to enjoy your hobby.
Spend 1,000 hours in Hollow Knight if that's fun for you.

>>719711995
when we want to count how long it takes to BEAT a game, we only consider the ones who DID BEAT the game, you fucking retard

>>719710523 (OP)
you niggers really just believe everything you see on the internet huh

>>719710523 (OP)
Damn son, how have you made it to adulthood without being able to read properly?

>>719711565
>>719711565

i literally beat the game in 15 hours. this is my first metroidvania ever. i did not rush the game. i beat it on my steam deck. i even browsed tiktok with the game open throughout playing. im not gonna do some forced padded auraless content with the wheels or whatever. that would have added maybe 3 more hours to the playtime. and i quit megaman 11 on the first level bc of the jumping. hollow knight is casual and mid af

>>719710523 (OP)
Its already cracked
Just go get your from cs rin

He will likely start streaming at that time. No one got it early.

>>719712350
>>719711463
yeah i did 77% in 15 hours. the 100% which would have been boring aah backtracking and beating even weaker boring bosses would have tacked on maybe 3 more hours

>>719711271
>>719711463
steam cloud ate my actual save (i played it pirated for 70 hours until i bought it on steam and transferred the save over to beat it so i guess it just never saved my new one) but you can see it took me 70 just to get to 83% completion. it's a big ass map and there's a lot of backtracking if you aren't using a guide. Again I will admit I am shit at platformers but still

>>719712350
>i literally beat the game in 15 hours.
>this is my first metroidvania ever.
>i did not rush the game.
>i beat it on my steam deck.
>i even browsed tiktok with the game open throughout playing.
i already didn't believe you at "my first metroidvania ever", you didn't have to add more to convince me

Don't worry guys they will sell 10hr of 5dlcs cost 10$ each that are actual just content cut from main game

we will be watching our girl tho

>>719712505
all the hollow knight dlc was free though

>>719712450
yeah idk, game wasnt that hard to me. the platforming had a lot of grace compared to something like megaman 11. bosses werent even that hard. i even thought u were supposed to fight the dreamers and it was like dlc i didnt buy or something. it felt like it was missing content

>>719712471
idk what to tell u lil bro. this is literally the most popular metroidvania. why wouldn't it be most ppl's first? i already dont like the genre and just based off looks all the old metroids looks like they sucks aah with narrow tunnels and castlevania looks chopped af and they're all old and the new ones are probably even easier contentless nintendo baby games

>>719710606
I was done with the first one after 2 hours

Are people really going to watch some streamer play this shit instead of playing it themselves? It's twenty fucking dollars for a GOTY tier game that runs on a toaster.

never forget that the person you're arguing with online is a 14 year old who didnt play castlevania because it looked "chopped af" and metroid because it looked like it "sucks aah"

>>719712783
Tourists don't know that anon.

>>719712350
>>719712438
hollow knight is not the final boss retard, you did not by any definition beat the game

>>719710606
>i doubt it's going to be longer then 20 hours
on what metric?
metroidvanias are generally 2 hours long in 100% speedruns

>>719713058
I've played both before Hollow Knight and Hollow Knight mogs them, unless you're talking about Castlevania 1 and 3 but of course you are not

>>719712350
>"""""beat""""" the game
>74%
the game gets up to 112%
you beat 60% of the game. you didn't beat shit.

>>719710924
>>719711271
You guys are both way off the mark. I had like 28 hours on my first playthrough and I got the good ending but still had some side content left so I'd wager blind hk1 would take like 40-45h to 100%

>>719713434
nah by definition, i beat the game

>>719713809
i already said im not gonna do some boring aah backtracking to jump and get padded auraless wheel shit just to force the game to be longer

>>719713809
>DUDE YOU DIDN'T BEAT THE 4 HOUR BOSS RUSH AGAINST THE BOSSES THAT TAKE 3000 HITS AND KILL YOU IF YOU MAKE A SINGLE MISTAKE AT ANY TIME EVER LMAO GIT GUD
what the fuck is wrong with HK fans???

>>719713809
don't you feel ashamed of being such a pathetic subhuman? this has to be bait right..... right?

>>719713968
pantheon is not part of the main quest to beat the game, you have no what you're talking about but I agree they suck

>>719713968
dw buddy here's your participation medal & consolation prize for being an ass-sucking incompetent little bitch boy

>it's another "/v/ shitposts about the length of a game based on autists who rushed to the end as fast as possible to get their youtube video up first" episode
These re-runs are tiring.

>>719713910
I don't know what any of that nigger gobbledygook means, but if you didn't kill Radiance you didn't beat the game.

>>719710924
I'm a fucking retard and I cleared it in 27 hours

>>719710523 (OP)
the silk song derangement syndrome is rampant here

>>719712350
>ITT: Clearing one story of a multi-route visual novel means you experienced the entire game
Hollow Knight fags, everyone.

>>719710924
30 hours for me, and that was taking my time.

>>719714305
team cherry says i beat the game... you know the ppl who u glaze like crazy... the ones who made the game... wow they said i beat the game... but someone who takes 50 hours to beat the game says i didnt beat the game... thats crazy

>>719710924
>80 hours
How? It's a metroidvania.

>Cherry didn't want to give out review copies because they wanted everyone to play it at the same time or some gay shit
>But there are people who are gonna post full playthroughs immediately
huh?

>fags itt actually pretending hollow knight is a long ass game
the fuck is wrong with you people? when the game came out it took me around 25 hours to beat the whole thing

>>719714256
Honestly it’s been a while since I last saw time-to-beat-flavored shitposting.

if your first hk playthrough took under 40 hrs, you followed a guide and you didn't play the game

>>719714985
everyday i'm reminded that the literacy rate in america is so low

>>719712350
This.

>>719710924
>muh ragebait
But anyways, 80 hours is absurd. I beat the game twice in 50 hours. The second playthrough was years later so it was partially blind. Though I didn't do the godhome shit.

Hollowsnoys need to learn their place. Silk Song won't be beating Bananza or even Mario kart world, plus it has to compete against the astroshilled 33.

>>719715768
It's longer than 99% of the games in the same genre

>>719711374
OP can't read and it's a scheduled upcoming stream. It's nuts how some of you guys spend your entire day on YouTube but don't understand it's basic functions

>>719717443
Most of /v/ is made up of brown teenagers, so yeah.

>>719710924
It took me 45 hours to complete almost everything minus autism shit like pantheon and Grimm rematch.

>>719716317
It's on Switch 2 as well, dumbass.

I don't know why you redditors have such a hard on for this game. It's mid at best and rather boring actually. For a metroidvania its pretty bad.
Since most of you are from reddit, why don't explain why this shit game is popular in your r/subs

You haven't beat Hollow Knight unless you've at least 112% the game. You get a free pass on the rest of the content and achievements.

>>719710523 (OP)
pathetic

Took me 35 seconds to 113% the game, first game I ever played. Guess some people are just bad.

>>719710523 (OP)
Calling what that dude records the "full game" is misleading in the extreme

>>719718878
Took me 15 seconds to 100% it. 100% refund, you're not even close to my level

Are you even having fun if you're just rushing through the game as fast as possible to provide YouTube content?

>>719718995
No but you're making money.
I'm going blackout mode come tomorrow to avoid spoilers originating from those types of retards.

>>719718995
these 'people' don't play for fun
it's a job to them

>>719718995
Teenagers like to rush through as fast as they can so they brag to their friends about how amazing they are at gaming.
YouTubers are a bit different.
They'll play through the game on a console ahead of time, they log on to PC and pretend like they've never seen it before for likes and subs

You didn't beat the game unless you finished Steelsoul 112% under 5 hours

>>719712350
damn bruh these uncs btfo LMAO

>>719712695
>Amerifat v-tubers
No thanks, cheap shitty copies of japanese v-tubers

>>719714331
There's always a bigger retard

I will not be watching her, I will be playing it myself then watching her vods later

>>719715893
Only a month ago there was nonstop spam of "DK BANANZA IS A 5 HOUR GAME" based off of one of the early "full game" youtube videos, where the player literally ignored everything other than the main quest and just beelined for the end.

>>719710523 (OP)
How did people get the game early

>>719710606
>i doubt it's going to be longer then 20 hours
I sure hope so. Hollow Knight has terrible pacing.

>>719719970
Big streamers and YooToobers get special treatment as they seen by the company as marketing tools

>>719717885
And guess who the biggest fans are? PCvegans and snoys.

>>719710924
I beat the game twice, including the grim trouppe and the path of pain, in 80

>>719712823
Imagine admitting you got filtered by mm11, that's pathetic anon, but then again I always knew hollowtrannies couldn't handle a real action game

>>719710523 (OP)
Imagine ruining your first playthrough by blitzing it. Souless bug behavior.

buy an ad (for your channel)

Does getting a bad ending count in your eyes? Techinically you did beat it, but spiritually, you didn't.
You got fucking bronze, sure you won the race, but you didn't win

>>719725589
I don't look at single-player games as a race but yes I'll attempt to go for the better ending if it's not a fucking pain in the ass.

I thought team cherry said no press copies of the game?

>>719710523 (OP)
No, you just don't know how Shirako does things. He makes a video titled that and then makes it a live playthrough. Then he saves the Vod and leaves it up. He's done the same for many different games. He plans to play the game through from start to finish on release. No one has the game early, not even the backers.

>>719725947
It's not real.

>>719711271
By the time I did everything myself and did not look stuff up, I had somewhere around 80 hours of gameplay. But I enjoy searching for secrets and exploring everything without getting spoiled.

>>719725030
>Souless bug behavior.
heh

>>719710606
I swore it was 15 hours but someone said 30 I looked it up and it was 26.

>>719717714
I used to give this board credit and assume people were at least on a 9th or 10th grade level but in the last 5 years it's more like a 4th grade level.

Motherfuckers are illiterate now

Is anyone else feeling like they don't want to play it now that it's actually here? Like, it's been so long waiting and talking about it that I kinda just want to keep waiting. It's been part of my life that it WASN'T out for years, now I'm just supposed to play it and move on? Just forget about it?

It's probably not going to live up to the hype. The fake game I created in my head can't be defeated. Why ruin the good feeling of the wait and commiserating with the community for years just to play a game that might last a few hours? It's over.

>>719727818
Someone asked in another thread who else has put off suicide for Silksong and it had a worrying insane amount of responces.

>>719727818
I'm gonna play it and have fun but I also have had no real hype for it because hype is a psyop. I just basically didn't pay attention to it after I beat hollow knight.

I don't understand the genre of person who watches other people play video games, every video game all day. If you're also a *gamer*.
I only watch those kinds of videos after I've already completed or nearly completed the game. Why spoil or cheapen your own experience being a spectator? Or worse a paying spectator

And with this statement, any opinion you express from here on out will be discarded.

>>719710924
I won't blame you, first time I played I got so lost I missed City of Tears entrance.
But I think I clocked overal 54hrs, which is still too much ( withount boss rush mode though)

>>719710924
Thats... rather long anon

>>719710924
50 hours for me 65 for 112%

>>719721489

Oh. Lol.

>>719710606
112% took me 80+ hours.

I'm staying off Youtube for a fucking WEEK once the game drops

My first play-through time was about the same. I went through all of deepest and didn't find the tram ticket then searched everywhere else, got spoiled by a stream and went back to get it.

>>719710924
He's probably just a speedrun autist. It took me about 50 hours to do 90% of stuff in hollow knight

70 for me

I kinda like that guy

>>719712015

It's clearly some guy planning to stream the game the second it comes out, I barely even use youtube and can tell that it's obviously not someone who has an early copy.

>80 hrs to reach the first final boss
you might need to give up video games as a hobby

>>719710606
>>719710924
40 hours for the initial clear, 50 hours to clean up kill Radiance and NKG and 100% base game. Another 50 to do P5 (I did the first four pantheons with bindings to get lifeblood for P5)
I was doing very little backtracking, but I couldn't find shadecloak until after I cleared Radiance/NKG so I heard Conifer humming beyond a column of shade and probably spent an extra hour or so going crazy trying to find him. Trial of the Fool also took me a while. NKG without shade cloak was like 3 fucking hours.

>>719762191
These people are why fun activities like Triforce hunting in Windwaker are dumbed down.
