Thread 724700070

The one on the left isn't even eating anything.
He's just biting the cage.
So cute.

I don't know why their mandibles look different from the side.
Maybe it's a form of camouflage, intended to make them look adorable and non-threatening.

>>724700070 (OP)
This guys looking so much like a vengefly always felt really weird for me, even more because they used to be in a area called "the aspids"

>>724700593
The vengeflies are just mangy vermin that can't compare to these chads

>>724700593
Thank God they canned that shit. Anons will hate me, but adding a Coral Reef section into a relatively grounded game would've been tonal suicide. They should've removed the entire "Crusty" section. Shit feels like Bikini Bottom. Mount Fay was epic, but I deeply believe it should've had a lore justification for the snow and cold. As it is it just feels like a disconnected game level. The rest of Pharloom is pretty believable.

>>724701692
Hollow Knight had a wide variety of areas, and it was fine. Silksong felt somewhat flat in comparison. I think it would have been cool.

Silksong simply isn't a fun game like HK was.
If this is what they spent 7 years making they shouldn't even bother with another one. I'm sorry if this offends someone but it's the truth.

>>724702437
I think it's a fun game with a lot of unfun shit in it.
Like how many times Hornet needs to go "HNNNNGGGH" and slow-walk during the intro section and you can't skip it, even though they included the Steel Soul mode with the expectation that players would have to die and restart
And how every time she gets knocked out and has to wake up, it lasts like four seconds longer than it should

>>724702437
I've had like 30 hours more in Silksong than i ever had in HK not 2 weeks after release
Its way more fun and aside from a few grievances almost perfect

I even replayed HK right after and its not nearly as good. Sorry if that offends you but its the truth

>>724702884
CRAAWWWWW!

>>724702884
>i have personally invested seven years of my life waiting for a subpar sequel and i refuse to accept reality because it would cause egodeath for me
I am sorry.

getting raped by lost lace
whose idea was it that both lace and the attacks are nigger black and then you are down to one shield and everythig is even blacker

>>724702983
I hate how she hides her wind ups behind the blades and tendrils sometimes, I hate how she teleports into you. But you'll get it anon, she's not really all that hard, just a trial of patience.
>surrounding darkness
This is just really annoying and unnecessary in general. You could try turning the brightness up. I had to do it for my cute bug screenshot since they were outside the light radius.

>>724702884
The same, did P4 for the first time after my second 100% Silksong playthrough and the og felt so dogshit, both visually and from a gameplay perspective.
Currently on Steel Soul in Silksong, I never did it in the og HK, it really tells you how much more fun silksong is when Im already on my 3rd playthrough, I couldn't play HK again until early this year in comparison

>>724702983
You must turn Hornet into Pale King's Daughter.

Architect
Quick Sling
Plasmium
Voltvessel Bolas
Cogflies
Sylphsong
As much silk reserves as you can get

Buy a shitload of shards.
Got to the Abyss.
Make sure you regen full silk on the bench.
Overdose on plasmium.
Jump in.
Spam cogflies .
Throw a shitload of bolas at Lace from close distance. From this alone, you can do 600+ damage in 2 seconds easily.
Try to dodge at least a bit. Your health will renenerate quite fast.
When out, restore tools with Architect.
Repeat.
Easy win.

>>724702954
i didn't wait for anything
i was fully expecting it to never come out by year 3
then it came out 7 years later and was an absolute masterpiece with tons of care and polish put into every fiber

the only bad thing about it is the devs (shadow-)nerfing/buffing shit for the average retard with patches
and lost lace is a dogshit fight lets be honest here

>>724704345
Filtered by lace 3
Silksong is perfect except bell eater and pintress

>>724705347
i beat her twice, shes just not fun. In 2 of my PT i didn't even bother fighting her and just ended it after getting 100% and the flower
bell eater is a filler boss but thats fine because the ending is kino
Pintress is ok, i don't really get why people complain about her

>>724705565
I've beat her like 6 times? He's really easy, and stupidly predictable, at least if you use hunter, I suppose that is harder if you use reaper or architect because of the slow attacks speed

>>724705347
lace 3 is literally just a worse version of lace 2
>yeah its lace 2
>except she has some attacks and transitions that waste the ever living shit out of your time (like the saws where you cant damage her and need to wait almost 10 seconds for it to end)
>and she can telefrag you when you play in the most fun and rewarding way to fight every other enemy, this time for double damage and also a silk tax

>>724705347
>bell eater
Pissed me off me on my first attempt because of the limited opportunities to deal damage, but when I remembered charge attacks it went down very easily.
The only bad thing about it was the fact that you could only challenge it from the one bellway. That was just another "fuck you" from Team Cherry in a long series of them.

Silksong is pure kino and my game of the year.
All the zoomers say Act 3 is bad, but it's pretty good actually. Loved the boss fights.

>>724702437
Well it was and you can't articulate how it wasn't because you're a faggot doing the "thing I liked from before GOOD thing that just came out BAD" bullshit.

>>724705946
I'm in the same boat. I love this game

>>724702884
>die seven times trying to clear this boss
>leave
>get the final nail upgrade
>remember that I never beat this boss
>come back
>first try it post-upgrade
I have no idea if the upgrade really made that much of a difference or if the initial annoyance of having to do the Craw gauntlet again but with a boss stapled to it was psyching me out beforehand, but damn.

>>724705946
Act 3 wasn't anywhere near as bad as people made it sound, but I still didn't enjoy it very much. It felt slightly underwhelming and some of the bosses were too defensive.
I do think the game should have ended at Act 2 though.

>>724705946
disagree
it's shit and Lace 3 is the biggest garbage/disappointment in this game
>what if we made Lace 2, but worse
>what if made Mother Silk piss easy and a fart of a act 2 final boss and completely deny the player a rematch in act 3

Do you want your end to be quiet and peaceful? Or would you rather go out in a blaze of glory?

>>724700070 (OP)
I'm getting filtered going up the coral tower using crest of the witch.
My instincts tell me to change it, my stubbornness tells me to keep trying.

>>724705821
>>724705821
>you cant damage her during black goo saws
Lmao, you just suck. That move is super punishable.
When she starts using void powers, you stand next to her and keep hitting while she spews black goo around and nothing ever hits you. In the final phase, you stand under her and get some free hits and then dodge. Every time she does that attack you can shave up to 15% of her total life.
And then there are tools like voltvessels, pins, saws and others that can be used for free damage when she's out of range. In the late game getting max shards and max shard bundles takes 5 minutes of farming.
>telefrag
She never teleports into you, but at least a few steps away. Stop running like a moron and wait for her to appear.

>>724700070 (OP)
>Fleas
>Grubs
Which are cuter?

>>724707006
>Lmao, you just suck. That move is super punishable.
I think he's talking about when she just disappears and the two big void saws appear. Easy to doge because you can just camp at the top of one of the walls, but annoying time wasting and doubly annoying that she can just use it randomly in the second half of the fight instead of it only being a phase transition.

>>724706663
Why did GMS put her in charge of the fart organ in the shit swamp? I thought this bitch was all about loving her daughters.

>>724707083
AWOO > MEMAMA

>>724706663
>Not Haunted

You figure GMS would want to control her actions

>>724707429
Implying she's actually hanging out over there having her own pity party entirely of her own free will.

So seeing as how the Snare Setter was made in Weavenest Atla, way down in Moss Grotto and not even spoken of in open air for fear Grand Mother Silk would hear, I wonder how The Caretaker knew about it? Especially since the Snare Setter requires Soul to function. Were the Snails involved in plans to get rid of Grand Mother Silk even before she was put to sleep?

>>724707006
that post is talking about when she disappears you absolute retard
the iq of lace 3 defenders is so low

>Stop running like a moron and wait for her to appear.
boring and gay, running towards the enemy and attacking them constantly is by far the most rewarding way to fight any boss in HK1 and silksong provided you dont get hit
unreactable telefrags if you play too agressive is just shit gameplay, and by your own admission lace 3 makes you play boring and passive with less skill, therefore shes blander

>>724707083

SCRRAAAAAA SQUEEK SQUEEK SQUEEK SQUEEK

Boy on the left exists to be pogo'd off so you can get to the worm tunnels early

>>724708389
Definitely possible, and would explain both why one of them trying to make a deal with the Bilewater residents, and why the rest went into hiding specifically to hide from GMS.

Anyone else like Rune Rage? It's high risk high reward, but man the reward is insane.

>>724709457
I've never gotten it to work well enough against bosses, so I only use it for gauntlets. Worked pretty well in High Halls and Coral Tower.

>>724705946
yup, Act 3 is good

>>724707630
This is one hundred percent what she's doing. She's Lace's goth older sister.

>>724709457
it never hits

>>724700070 (OP)
I like how you can encounter enemies just doing their own thing. Animals eating the vegetation, pilgrims praying together, hunters shooting at pondskippers, Underworkers scrubbing and poking at the machinery, cogflies performing maintenance, choir members singing together. It adds so much soul

>>724711930
What are they talking about?

I dropped the game at lace 3 like a month ago. I regret nothing

Also the bugs of Greymoor are trying to catch the falling Silk from the Citadel of they don't know you're there

>>724711930
>I've never played any video game ever.

>>724702954
>i have personally invested seven years of my life waiting for a subpar sequel and i refuse to accept reality because it would cause egodeath for me
absolute TRVTHNVKE
this exact phenomenon is the sole reason silksong gets any praise at all

I wonder why they bother? You can see Silk gathering on the catchers that they have staked in the ground

if silk thread can control bug then what can silk cloth do?

>>724714509
>KILL ME! PLEASE!

>NOOOO YOU CANNOT LIKE THE GAME
>why?
>BECAUSE IT'S NEW
>AND NEW BAAAAD AND OLD GOOOOOOOD
stop this mental illness. It's not good for you

>>724714381
Because each individual worker has a quota to meet as an "oath of fealty." Another worker's catcher doesn't count to your quota.

>>724714218
that's what a good chunk of the fanbase feels like, I'm talking about those who think the game can't be criticized

>>724715037
Okay but there's a difference between fanboys and critics and people who enjoyed the game and shitposters. If you say [GAME BAD] and list reasons why and then I say [GAME GOOD] and list reasons why, that not Team Cherry defense force being out in full force, that's a difference of opinion being supported with evidence. But the way this dipshit >>724714284 presents it, any praise towards Silksong usually the result of Sunk Cost, which is horseshit.

And for the record, because I know that one jackass is seasoning his phone screen with cheeto dust to say something, this also applies to people who say game gud because it is. More than anything I wish people would stop talking in Twitter hot take and act like a human fucking being.

>>724714907
Fuck it, let the Moorwing eat me

>>724715828
I'm curious if the Wisp cult started off as workers who escaped and tried to get into the Citadel a different way.

>>724715891
The Wisp Cult is just baffling to me and I want to look into them more. But later. For now I'm trying to get this meat to the High Halls and I keep fucking up

>>724704345
>then it came out 7 years later and was an absolute masterpiece with tons of care and polish put into every fiber
why are you lying shill?
ffs charge attacks didn't even regen silk at release.
Team Cherry barely put in thought or consideration to their mechanics and design.
Faggot zoomer.

>>724707370
>>724707083
were grubs a steel soul only thing?
I found their nursey but never found any in hidden

>>724713850
The big one continuously complains abiut his wife and kids at home while the small one is stuck here doing all the work they’re both not paid for, and noding because he’s too weak to do anything else even though he’s fulming inside

Do you not know how mountains work?

>>724716354
>ffs charge attacks didn't even regen silk at release.
yea and then they buffed the everloving shit out of it for the normalfags who complained
theres no reason not to constantly spam charge attacks now thanks to that retarded change when there was a tradeoff before

It was perfect on release and slowly gets corrupted because of streamers and speedtrannies

>>724717974
nta but absolutely not, the charge time was long enough that it was optimal to simply keep hitting with repeated base needle strikes because that actually did more damage (still does) while generating silk on every hit. Even now with the buff, charge attacks are only worth it if you're fighting a really mobile enemy where you can't reliable get in multiple needle hits, or are using the Pin Badge which you can't get until act 3.

>>724718335
architect charge attack was comically overpowered on release, 150+ damage with flintsteel
its still very strong

>>724719969
Dunno what it was at launch but for Architect and Wanderer the total damage is set at 3 times based needle damage. So if it was higher before then they actually nerfed charge attacks which contradicts >>724717974
As it stands now, the charge time without pin badge means it's still easier to just hit the enemy three times normally, even on Architect, and you'll get three silk instead of the one from the charge attack. Hardly "buffed the everloving shit out of it."

>>724705946
They were going for an Inverted Castle style twist but it just felt a little half baked. Despite the whole mapchanging, the only areas that really mattered were the places you couldn't access yet without Silk Soar. Felt more like an excuse to put unfinished/cut content into the game and tie up loose story threads from Hollow Knight than anything. Nevertheless, Karmelita and Lost Lace are top-tier bosses

>>724720467
they did nerf specifically architect because it was ludicrously overpowered compared to the others. and right now it still has rather superb range
they did buff the ever living shit out of the hunter and shaman charge attack in practice, i dont know about the others

>>724722327
Weirdly, Hunter is the only one that actually gives more than one silk, because the two hits are actually coded as two hits instead of one hit with multiple damage inputs like Wander, Architect, and Witch.

It takes me longer to beat Seth flea games records for his memento, then beating Lost Lace... Truely the biggest challenge in the game!

>>724709457
only against bell eater because both ends count as different units
tried it against nyleth as well but it still felt like a waste of time casting it

>>724717974
>It was perfect on release
>erm u see this mechanic is completely useless which makes it PERFECT and now it's still useless but they made it slightly less shit so I'll pretend to dislike the change to sound like a hadcrorer gaymer
do silktrannies really
