What was the defining moment in this game when you realized it was a masterpiece?

>>723391662 (OP)
Choral Chambers. The game is just ok before that area and Cogwork Dancers.

the first escape from the abyss was the only point that really got me, before that it wasn't bad of course but eh

>>723391804
when sherma wanders off from the first shrine to gather medical supplies and you find him scared out in the world:

when you play the Needolin there he sings his song but in a very hesitant, scared tone.
So they recorded this "voice" line twice for something many players will miss.
Shit like this is the epitome of SOVL. it's proof they put love and care into little, seemingly unnecessary details.

the moment I decided not to buy it was quite revealing to me

>>723391662 (OP)
There was a defining moment that ruined it

>>723392113
based fuck this woketrash shill campaign

>>723392113
Based. I will still be playing Days Gone instead of this woke garbage.

>>723391662 (OP)
It's not. It's a good game though, same as Hollow Knight.

>>723391662 (OP)
Never.

>>723392113
Is this the worst astroturfed /v/ "meme" in recent months?

>>723392113
Whorenet...

>when you play the Needolin there he sings his song
Wait, that's a thing?

>>723392113
Hot

>>723392634
Yes

I realized it was a masterpiss when I got a third crest and basically nothing useful after playing for 5 hours. total pacing disappointment. quit out of boredom in act 2. I hope Team Cherry dies in a plane crash while on route to some reddit fart sniffing conference.

the sequence leading to Widow and the fight itself.

I keep wandering around, the citadel is kinda exhausting

>>723392634
For literally 99% of the NPC, yes

>>723393570
Widow was unironically the best fight in the entire game.

For me it was
>getting to act 2 pure kino
>whiteward and then underworks
>talking about my friend about harpoon and underworks
>he says "whiteward? i dont know what that area is"

>>723392634
Every NPC and even many enemies have their own songs.

>>723394086
It's possible to straight up miss a bunch of areas if you just don't explore. Whiteward's key is at the edge of the First Shrine and if you just go through the door to ring the bell and get distracted by the Caretaker you're gonna miss it.

It's not as bad as Wisp Thicket which may as well be a secret area, but I'm not surprised that some players missed an entirely optional dungeon.

i got the key and unlocked the elevator but then didn't go in and completely forgot about it

>>723391662 (OP)
Getting to the Citadel and realizing there actually is several branching paths that all intertwine. Act 1 on a blind playthrough before patches was kinda ass ngl.

>>723394243
>>723393858
>>723393091
Well, I guess I need to replay at some point.

>>723391662 (OP)
When I learned that we get an upskirt shot every time she heals.

>>723395091
don't bother, it's dream nail but 10x worse

Realising how BRVTAL the game was willing to be while suffering in Sinner's Road, only to break an arbitary wall and discover Bilewater and realise I was deep, deep behind enemy lines, to finally find a bench, then into the mists, in which I suffered for 40 minutes before discovering the trick, then finding the exhaust organ, and phantom, all this was worth it for the feeling of ascending the elevator into the citadel and the music kicking. I had long given up hope that a game could do that to me ever again.

>>723391662 (OP)
I'm going through Act 2 and I am severely underwhelmed

>>723394662
It's worth going back, the boss drops a silkheart.

>>723392113
Kek! True

>>723392113
post it.

>>723391662 (OP)
>What was the defining moment in this game when you realized it was a solid 8/10?
When my frustration with some of the bosses gave way to realizing they were actually pretty fucking fun

>>723394243
Even some empty/secret locations

Ahem. Blasphemous 2 > silksong
