Thread 719841151

Holy shit it's so peak. 6 hours in and I'm having the time of my life, team cherry didn't disappoint with this sequel. Only died three times and the first time it was because my controller bugged, the two other deaths were in the hunter's march. The down diagonal pogo is weird but once you get used to it and more importantly obtain the dash, the game turns into a 10/10. Literally flawless, or if I had a fault to find it would be the environments being somehow more dull than they were in hollow knight, or the economy still sucking ass. Grinding is a shit mechanic and there are not enough enemies to kill to obtain the currency fast enough from what I played.

>I hate the runback
Don't die then
>bosses hit too hard 2 hp per hit is too much
Skill issue. If you played hollow knight you can predict enemy movesets in this game.
>I die to traps
How? Literally how. Do you play games on automation? Just pay attention to the environment. Every single trap I faced so far I avoided because the game outright tells you that something is wrong.

If you're complaining about how Silksong doesn't let you explore it's 100% a skill issue on your end. Metroid prime boomers have been mindbroken into believing that immersive simulators where you look at pretty scenery, watch cutscenes and let the game play itself is the peak of gaming

>>>/tv/ is that way if you want yet another castlevania game where you grind to cheese everything or metroid game where you insta freeze every threat from afar

Shitty bloated game, just like hollow shite.

>>719841151 (OP)
Hollow Knight was a 5.5/10, this is a 4/10

Beat like 8 bosses and then uninstalled. Boring and annoying ass game.

me too I'm having a blast

>>719841151 (OP)
Me too OP I'm having fun.

Not buyin your tranny shit game

THIS THIS THIS THIS SO MUCH THIS.
There's a vocal group of gamers not only on /v/ who will scream at the slightest challenge in this type of game and call it bad game design because they're not given tools to avoid engaging with the medium. It's so tiresome. Reminds me of when Sekiro came out and a lot of the complaints were centered around the lack of build variety, criticizing the lack of customization and focus on parry combat compared to Dark Souls. What those people wanted was a way to abuse rpg mechanics and avoid all the action.

>>719841151 (OP)
do i have to play the first game to get into this? I honestly dont want to play it because everyone keeps talking about it its annoying and sheepish

>>719842005
You should play the first game, it's much easier.

>>719842005
you can only appreciate silksong if you played the first game. Even experienced HK players are taken aback by the difficulty, it's a sequel through and through and isn't welcoming for new players. Pretty based if you ask me

>>719841151 (OP)
Holy shill thread

still don't understand why it doesn't update the map as you explore

>>719842005
Play Ender magnolia, it has way more variety in attacks and no dark souls gimmicks

I don't think I've seen a game filter so many shitters so fast.

>>719841151 (OP)
4 hrs in and it feels a lot more linear than the first game. i always felt like i had at least 2 areas to explore at any given time where as this its got a lot of shortcuts and levels are kind open but it definitely feels like im never given the choice to stray off the intended path. the quest tracker and objective tracker doesnt help with this. does it eventually open up?

also every npc fucking sings for some reason

>>719842242
variety in attacks but zero depth or utility
if you want to play a good anime metroidvania that has actual good gameplay, play rabi-ribi
Ender Lilies is anime hollow knight but with none of the charm

>>719841151 (OP)
Struggling with this mini boss above the jail grindle is in. I might be too old to git gud at this point desu

10 years of waiting for a 7/10 game. big uff

nah both games have nonexistant story

giga trvthnuke
metroid scan enjoyers have no right to call any modern metroidvania game mid, even the worst 2d metroid game is better than any prime game

>>719842298
It at least gives the player a playstyle choice instead of being a boring slog through the whole game like HK/silksong, also ender lilies/magnolia have wayyy better art direction and OST than HK

>>719842615
>playstyle choice that is only cosmetics and has no real application in gameplay
just like souls games amirite
go play monster hunter games before world, god hand or even Baldr Sky if you want actual playstyle choice, Ender Lilies or dark souls slop isn't it

>>719842792
dark slop?
But HK is the real dark slop ripoff with it's lost currency gimmick

>>719841151 (OP)
So wait, it's like Rain World but without the physics? DROPPED.

>>719841151 (OP)
It's alright, just like the original. Compared with some of the Metroidvania's we've gotten in the past ten years, I'm not sure it was worth the wait and hype. I had as much or more fun with
>RabiRibi/TEVI
>Blasphemous
>Nine Sols
>Ender Lilies/Magnolia
>Bloodstained
>Ori

I don't think it does enough to fix obvious problems with the original. Platforming is still mediocre, world design is still mediocre, all kinds of usability crustiness is still swept under the rug of "git gud", etc.

Literal cult.

The RAPID change of opinion on Silksong by /v/ over the past week really is picturesque of how opinions are formed on this website. It's not about honesty, it's about being anti-culture. When Silksong wasn't real, everyone on /v/ loved Hollow Knight and couldn't wait for the sequel. Now that it's here, /v/ will become it's biggest hater. That's just how 4chan works.

couldnt have wished for a better game to play while recovering from my sexual reassignment surgery!

>>719844158
You're a disgusting tranny

>>719844158
I've always disliked this boring reddit game. Everything looks exactly the same and there's no music or anything interesting happening ever.

>>719843640
bravo nolan

tranny game

>>719844158
now that its here people have actually played it genius

Is it like the first game where it's a boring slog until you get the Dash?

>>719841151 (OP)
Literal shill thread. YWNBAW

>only redeeming ''quality'' of the game is that it's le hard just like my ebin souls games

Really?

>>719845159
you get the dash in the first hour

>>719845241
Dark Souls did irreparable damage to indie games.

I'm fucking dying of laughter here

>its some of the most generic, copy pasted slop that does absolutely nothing unique while being tedious, slow paced and overly simplistic

silkslop fans are subhuman

I have no problem getting my shit pushed in Souls games and running back and getting my souls back but god dying in HK and this just sucks the soul out of me because of how boring and bland the world is

>>719845284
That's true for hollow knight as well and it's a boring slog until then in that game too.

>>719844158
It came out today, dingus
Did you forget how many people shat on HK?

>>719846607
HK was mostly shat on early because of little content. by the time godmaster came out it had most of /v/ was praising it

>>719845241
how is that even a good thing anyways? understood that crap. I dont want a hard ass game i cant beat. I want to have fun and have a good gaming experience

Can someone tell me where the fuck the map seller in the 4th area went? She's the one that sits on the ground and she fucked off before I could buy anything

>>719841151 (OP)
I'm 10 minutes in and already filtered by the crybaby cinematic slow walking.

>>719844158
most people are out there playing it and enjoying it, while avoiding gaming boards because of spoilers
most people still around here are those that are not playing it because they don't like it, so they're pretty much the majority around for now

>>719844158
most people that actually like it are currently playing and afraid of spoilers
but youre right, /v/ almost unanimously loved HK before it went too mainstream. Reality is that these people whining about the game are the ACTUAL normalfags, ironically. They dont know about any shit that isnt normalfag tier, they always only jump into hating games once theyre super popular
>>719845159
Unironically, the start is worse. But then within 1 hour you get the full on fast fuckoff sprint AND dash which also includes an incredible leap and thrust attack
>>719847337
see above, the beginning actually blows. Sprint makes the game so much better

>>719844158

Funny how undertalefags say the exact same thing

I dislike the new vertical poggo because it feels kinda clunky, but even then, those things were easy as shit to pull off.

> first time get to the area with the red ants

Maybe this is a sign that you should stop obsessing over games you hate on principle dont you think?

>gamers can't into walking
why

>>719841151 (OP)
>posting death count
Were HK players always like this? Or did it only happen after Godmaster?

>>719844158
You’ll find people on here who dislike every game. Is it really a big surprise some anons don’t like Hollow Knight? It’s a pretty mediocre game.

>>719842093
>Even experienced HK players are taken aback by the difficulty
Haven't gotten to play Silksong yet but this feels like bait.
