What caused this phenomenon? Bandwagoning? Fear of missing out? Severe intellectual disability?

>>720112808 (OP)
I don't get it

>Bandwagoning? Fear of missing out?
You answered your own question.

Quite literally a combination of all 3, all of the unpaid shilling bought in tena of thousands of people who never played the first one, and at any given moment you should assume 50% of people on the internet are barely functional retards

it hits you with the difficulty of late game HK areas right fron the start, but with an unupgraded character, a moveset you're not familiar with, and no options (charms etc.) to support you. early game difficulty is a wall, so naturally people are put off by that at the start. personally i think it levels out a bit by act 2.

who is more miserable?? HK fans or Persona fans??

there are lot of friendless people these days who replace that void by feeling like they're part of a shared experience which the currently popular video game can fill for them.

vydyas have nothing left to do or say, so they are going backwards.

>HK can't play the game they're fan of because they are retarded

>Purseowner fans deliberately decide to not play it and watch the anime instead

HK wins

Why would somebody who never played 1 claim to be a fan of it? If they saw it on stream, why not just watch a streamer play 2 as well?

Based?

They're all complaining the game is too hard

>>720113394
if they were real fans they'd get through

>>720112808 (OP)
Yes.

>>720113286
"lore" fags will claim to be fans of things they've never played

Huge Hollow Knight fan excited to play Hollow Knight for the first time

>>720113286
late gen z and gen alpha behavior

>>720113773
I know you're referencing the Earthbound fan one, but it always reminds me of this

>>720113027
The joke is that Silksong fanatics can't play Silksong despite it being the most casual Metroidvania in the modern era.

>>720113854
What are the least casual Metroidvanias in the modern era?

>>720113832
I forget, what even happened that everyone is going "bad timing".

>>720112808 (OP)
Metroidvania fans "think" than sotn was hard but fair.

>>720113889
There aren't any in the modern era.

>>720113027
The silkreddit is full of people melting down over the difficulty. Great reading.
Silkthreads on here are full of people bitching about bosses then 20-30 minutes later posting a victory screenshot.

>>720113973
I also didn't remember, but one of the posts said 2021 and they're all from may, so it has to be this

Lifelong fans of an IP known for it's hard-as-nails difficulty are complaining that the game is difficult.

>>720114551
Base Hollow Knight was not hard as nails.

>>720112808 (OP)
Memes are supposed to be funny or witty.

>woman cant play video games
tale as old as time

>>720112808 (OP)
People who never finished hollow knight but bought silksong have no inner monologue

>>720114551
Anyone who is a lifelong fan is too young for their opinions to matter

>>720112808 (OP)
>Yeah im playing Silksong right now and i don't understand why it got hyped that much omg it's so frustrating, like the hardest game everrrr, wait the original Hollow Knight? You mean there was a game before Silksong?

>>720113027
Now?

>>720113176
Sounds based to me

Not really. At hardest it is maybe fungal wastes tier/greenpath tier for the marrow so far.

Other areas are not hard either, hunter area was the hardest so far because I somehow missed the lever for the bench trap even though I thought I tried to run into the wall so nerves fucked with me for the boss because it was a long runback, guess I didn't go left enough or I had to knock a wall down because when I tried the second time I found it easily.

>>720114604
The person you streamed playing Hollow Knight only made it look easy.

I just realized the hk devs made their games inspired by souls.

>>720113991
This. Boomers are just retarded
