Did I miss something? Is this Gen Alpha slop? Wtf is happening?

>>720277873 (OP)
You judged the game on retarded buzzwords and wound up an isolated retard.
Fuck you want from me you retarded cunt. Miss the zeitgeist you dopey poofter, I genuinely want to make you est a styrofoam dinner with a petrol chaser.

I hope this is a troll thread, lmfao what a retard

>>720278006
So Gen Alpha slop then?

>>720278054
Zoomslop. Gen Alpha plays Roblox, VR, and mobile games.

>>720277873 (OP)
I mean you're correct but you're gonna get in every gen alpha's nerves with the wording. Not that it's a bad thing. But yeah it's just overhyped "mid" as they say

this game is NOT that hard. you guys just suck. its just as hard as the first game.
its like this fandom is full of secondaries that never touched the original.

Yes, you forgot to open your eyes for seven years.
I don't think there was a single day since HK released when we didn't have a thread on /v/.

>>720278137
I'm a Zoomer. We were born in "99. Our games were Halo 3 and CoD.

>>720278237
>post totally unrelated to OP
bot?

I don't think the first game was viewed as "hard" at all until godhome was added

>people were born after 9/11
>people were born after HK

>>720277873 (OP)
Yeah, you missed a really good game because you’re a faggot.
>>720278604
Steel soul 100%? Well, I agree that it’s much easier than you’d think.

>>720277873 (OP)
Hollow Knight was the Super Metroid/Symphony of the Night of Zoomers.
Combine that with Souls aesthetics hitting peak popularity with Elden Ring and it's easy to understand where all the interest for Silksong came from.

>>720277873 (OP)
>Super meat boy
>never hear it ever mentioned again
Ok

>>720277873 (OP)
10 years ago there were good games coming out. But now they don't so your above average indie game from 10 years ago as goty in 2025. Think about expedition 33. It would be just an average jrpg 10 years ago, but now a goty contestant. Or look ar recent Baldurs Gate 3, literally same shit as Divinity. They should have called it Divinity 3. But Divinity Original Sin came out 2014 and nobody cared about it. I mean it was a good game for the niche audience but that's about it, 10 years later same fuckin game rebranded as Baldurs Gate became so huge, people still talk about it.
The gaming industry is not the same as 10 years ago. Your above average just good game 10 years ago is goty now.

>Did I miss something?
The massive stealth million $ shill campaign obviously.

>>720278604
Nah there was the whole hornet “GIT GUD” thing. Everyone agreed Nightmare King Grimm was challenging too, which was before Godhome. Before that the hardest boss was, uh… Lost Kin? Radiance? I don’t know.

>>720277873 (OP)
it is pushed by the algo, pure algo slop

>>720279016
I'm always behind the times. The "newest" game I have played is a remake of a game from 1995.
>system shock is gr8 btw

>>720278514
Possibly but silksong git gud fags don't usually read either I've noticed. They'll start telling you how something isn't hard if you simply just post a picture of a boss or something while praising it but pointing out some minor flaw that bothered you

>>720279451
git gud

>>720277873 (OP)
The pattern of shilling is similar to E33, BG3, RE8 and AssCreed. Probably the same company with ties to Geoff Keighley.

/v/ has never been as bad as current year

the same people playing silksong are the ones who played schedule 1, X simulator, peak and path of exile 2. their opinions are worthless, they simply follow trends

I remember in the last few E3s anons saying "I hope they announce Silksong" and I was like "the fuck is that?".

You literally have no idea what you're yapping about.

Imagine being this impressionable.

>>720277873 (OP)
it was vapor ware and redditors kept on memeing it.
normie retards got convinced it was going to be good just based on how long the studio took to actually keep their promise and release it.

it's also another shitty souls clone that copies every single souls cliche so naturally retards flock to it.

>>720277873 (OP)
for a second there i thought you were a millennial pissing himself but you're a zoomie shitting xerxelf actually lol

>>720277873 (OP)
Yeah there was like radio silence about this franchise until a few days before it came out. It felt incredibly inorganics.

>discord sisters choose a new target and come to /v/ to shit on it
>don't know how many people on /v/ hated Silksong exactly because silkfags kept posting their threads literally every day for 7 years
>"acktchully, there were no threads before it released, it's le shill campaign"
A bit embarrassing, when you think about it. At least adjust your strategy, sisters, this is not a new IP by a new studio like E33 where you could pretend nobody was talking about it before the release.

>>720277873 (OP)
>"oh this looks like tumblr-tier "cuuute slop
Nobody used that word at release. Slop is nu word-slop.
Also how fucking empty is your life if you can still remember your thoughts of a indie games you didnt care for

>>720277873 (OP)
>Most obvious bait of all time
>People still bite
/v/ never changes

People loved hollow knight on launch, it got released on everything and it was free multiple times over the years. The hype around silksong built steadily and hit meme status that just put things into over drive.

>>720277873 (OP)
HK is one of the most highly rated games of all time on Steam. Not sure why zoomers like you are so self-obsessed and narcissistic that you cannot imagine that people can in fact like things that you aren't interested in or aware of. The world does not end with you.

>>720281242
Its crazy how OP didn't do anything you accusrd him of.
Self report lol.

>suddenly
it's because you were barely born when first HK was released, it was popular from the start
also far from being the most popular IP of all time, but what do you know you're a zoomer with no point of comparison

>>720277873 (OP)
You must never watch nintendo directs are gamescom or any other online video game trailers. You would've seen at least one time in the comments for people spamming hollow knight silksong.

>>720277873 (OP)
Why should I play this game other than it being the hecking #1 steam game? Is it actually good or is it just memed by streamers like among us was?

>>720287339
just fuck off and die

>>720278006
>isolated retard
The numbers don't lie. It sold a lot of copies but never had a huge active player base until Silksong.
Look at all those bundles.

>>720277873 (OP)
>a decade passes
Decent games get hyped over time in the absence of new editions in the series and thus makes it sound better than it actually ever was. Bloodbornes a good example of this phenomena as well. Its decent but because theres never a sequel people will act like its bigger than it is.
