GOODBYE HOLLOW KNIGHT
HELLO SILKSONG

>wife left on a spiritual trip to Jamaica
>her kids staying with auntie
>silksong in 4 hours
>'za preordered and beers in the fridge

It doesn't get any better than this bros. We gaming.

>>719782761 (OP)
Should i replay this before buying Silksong?
I played it at launch and remember nothing about it

>>719782991
I mean I personally think it's an amazing game. You might get burnt out on the genre if you do more than a speed run of the game.

>buy hollow knight in 2018 because people say it's good

I never got the good ending

Sisters of Battle, it feels like a high octane dance, but it also lets you fight back unlike similar fights in Elden Ring
>npc

I don't have a favorite, I guess soul eater because it's flexible.
>area

don't know them by name, I guess the music for the Sister of Battle fight

>>719783310
Which one do you consider good?

>>719782761 (OP)
I bought Hollow Knight at launch but never touched it. Then a friend told me Nine Sols was much better than Hollow Knight so I bought that, tried it, and it was utter trash.
So much for that genre of gaming....

Sealed Vessel phase 2, absolute symphony

Been playing videogames since I was 3 years old in 1998, but it was Hollow Knight that made me finally think "I can do it too", download Unity for the first time in 2017 and get into gamedev proper.
It's been a fun road.

>was expecting silky to come out later in the year

>>719783093
Why is this story so common? It was the Mantis fight for me. Dropped it for almost a year because I got bored of it and then picked it up almost a year later and couldn't put it down. I've heard this exact story a dozen times.

WHERE THE FUCK IS SILKSONG IT'S NOT ON THE ESHOP!?!????

>>719783426
The normal(?) Radiance. I tried him a couple of times and probably could've beaten him, but I was just so tired of the game that I didn't care about yet another sweaty bossfight.

>>719782815
>wife left on a spiritual trip to Jamaica
Guys, no one tell him.

>>719783954
I believe it's because the game is too boring and bleak in the begining. You have no idea what's the plot of the game, you have no abilities. It's inevitable that some people would stop playing after a few hours. Either you have an engaging gameplay or story at the start to make someone play the game.

>>719782761 (OP)
Can you play Silksong before Hollow Knight or is continuous lore a big part of the game?

Got intrigued when I noticed frens talk plenty about silksong release so hadn't heard about either Ss or Hk since a few days ago

City of Tears. Easy pick.

I played the first one but never bothered finishing it. Can I just play Silksong or is it a direct sequel?

>>719783093
>>719783954
initial pacing is one of the most common criticisms of HK, it only gets fun once you finally get most of the abilities

It was my first metroidvania I played as a teenager and the first game world I felt like I was actually lost in. I know Silksong won't live up to that experience but I'm just excited for more Hollow Knight

>track 51 is listed as lost lace
what do they mean by this?

>>719783745
9s is barely a metroidvania, it's a linear affair

I tried playing my godseeker save last night and was really, really bad. I hope it's just rust

I hate them all because most are weak, jank or situational, but the one I hate the least is buffing spell damage and increasing change rate. Honorable mention to unbreakable strength and carefree melody. The latter in particular sounds like utter garbage but it's absolutely busted in practice.

This

what did you play to pass the time these last 2 weeks anon?

>>719789091
Trying Deadlock for the first time, sorting out my Guild Wars 2 chores and projects, 100% Hollow Knight and comp stomping in Dawn of War 1 with frens

>>719789091
Not so much pass the time but I played Astlibra and then replayed Hollow Knight to refresh my memory
I finished doing void soul normal end last night, didn't get around to godhome

Now that the dust has settled: Was Zote a vessel?

>>719789441
Zote is a pathetic waste of a bug.

>>719784236

I don't care about Hollow Knight and found the game to be a big disappointing.
But it's nice to see anons excited for something, so I hope it's as good as you all wanted it to be.

>>719790071
thank you for not being a faggot about not liking the game anon
/v/ needs more people like you

Best wishes from the La Mulana community.

looks cool

>>719790286
Did you ever wish for progression in Hollow Knight to be about five times more obtsue and difficult?

>>719790071
thanks bro
consider giving it another try if you have the time, the initial pacing is really bad and a shitload of us here have dropped it only to try again and fall in love later

>>719782761 (OP)
Do I have to play Hollow Knight before Silksong? I kind of know most of the lore already and Silksong isn't expensive at all so it's within my budget.

First game was really good.
This one will be good too!

You'll be seething about >shills in a few hours when we're all discussing the game. Cope.

Hope the schizos have fun posting their bait, going to get comfy and play some Silksong without opening /v/ until I've completed it

>>719791262
New metroidvanias are very fun to play alongside /v/, sharing your discoveries and all that.

>>719791262
>without opening /v/ until I've completed it
Finally, all cringit posters of /v/ should follow suit.

>>719791325
Yeah for smaller games, but you just know it will be shcizos shouting and trying to spoil everything. Had fun playing the new Gal Guardians game

have you tried buying an ad

>>719792270
Buddy, there's enough people attempting to buy it right now that Steam is crashed

it will be out in less than a minute for me

Is it gay to crank my hog to bugs, fellas?

Who are the morons running Steam? Why would you not load test this?

I'm new to metroidvanias, can someone help me choose which game to buy? They both came out today, same price, both look pretty good.

SEE YOU LATER, LOSERS

lmao I've never seen steam crash this hard during game launch
Volvo wasn't ready

>>719792401
not as long as it's cornifer's wife or the mushroom eater

>>719792460
fuck you lmao

>>719792459
Play Hollow Knight. It's one the greatest metroidvanias out there.
After that you can play Silksong (it's a sequel).

GET OFF STEAM

LET'S FUCKING GO

>>719792486
They should stick to making cars tobeho

JUST LET ME BUY THE FUCKING GAME HOLY SHIT

!!ACTUAL SPOILER ALERT!!
Interesting, I wonder what this means?

What do? Keep spamming it until it accepts?

No, no, no, the cringit posters of /v/ cannot have their game spoiled!

I just got spoiled on the secret guys, I would have never thought to attack walls.
It's over, SilkSANG is RUINED.

>>719793290
How's GOG?

But /v/ said hype is manufactured and it's all shills.
What's the meaning of this

Never played a metroidvania b4. Is it really that good?

IT IS THE ENDTIMES

>>719793465
perfect, I just finished downloading the game
I'm out lads, see you next week

>>719793605
You fell for the contrarians doomsaying

I've never played the original Hollow Knight is it worth it

The movement is very satisfying.

/v/ is not one person, retard.

>>719793871
everithing except godhome is worth doing,
if you want more HK, godhome gives you more, but it will burn you out eventually

I only beat one boss and then I grew tired of the game. The cute and the setting just wasn't enough to hook me, didn't really enjoy the fights either. That's just my opinion.
