it wasnt worth the wait

yes it was

>>724815052 (OP)
Tumblr and Reddit disagrees.

it was a good game. it wasnt revolutionary but it was good and thats already more than can be said about the majority of this industry.

I like the game, and for me it was worthy, sorry if you couldn't enjoy it tho.

>>724815052 (OP)
not in the least. I think another anon put it very succinctly. every new ability felt like a sidegrade instead of an upgrade. TC deliberately did not want you to experience a fundamental power increase that is partially what makes 2D exploration-action games appealing. instead, the whole thing became a bloated, boring slog that only brainwashed redditors would defend.

>>724815052 (OP)
the major shilling campaign for this unremarkable game alone was enough for me to hate it, i applaud that one schizo anon who kept spamming the bug roastie pic and derailed every thread about this midiocere game

>>724815052 (OP)
>it wasnt worth the wait
im slowly beginning to accept the same. the worst part is that i remember the trailer from years ago, like 2020/2021 maybe, and the game today does not look any different or more evolved than the trailer. WTF took them so long?

>>724815052 (OP)
It's Game of the Year.

>>724815052 (OP)
Nonsense, it's exactly as uninteresting as I was expecting it to be.

>>724815052 (OP)
He wasn't even there

>>724815540
It was ballsy to release a game with a good level of challenge when you know it will filter a minimum of 50% of your casual audience and absolutely repel nogame normies. That showed a true commitment to making a real game and not a mass consumer marketed product.

>>724815052 (OP)
Waiting takes no effort, so yes it was.

>>724816230
I did a 112% run of Hollow Knight in the 2 weeks leading up to Silksong and it still kicked my ass. Karmelita is harder than every boss in the original game except for some of the Radiant fights like Markoth.

>>724816230
>a real game
Padding fat repetitive bosses and giving them ads is not a real game. It had maybe like 4 properly challenging and fun bosses, but dealing with the absolute BLOAT they stuffed into this shit was not at all worth those very few fights.

>>724816230
The benefit of the first game being an absolute money printer so TC never has to work ever again.

>>724816138
I'm offended by the lack of my country in the underworks alongside Mexico (sinners road would also work I guess)

>>724817332
Your country is in Hallownest.

>Let's add an item specifically designed to annoy the player
What the fuck were they thinking?

>>724815938

The quest to take the ingredient back up to the capital almost made me drop the game. The ammo system is really ass and disincentivises tool usage, as well.

I beat 4/5 pantheons, by the way, and I've 100%'d Silksong twice.

>>724817702
I never really ran out of shards ever until I started fucking around with Architect. More often than not I was topped up on shards.

But I mostly use the throwing pins and later the cogflies.

I beat all 5 pantheons (would not recommend) and 100%'d Silksong once.
Both it and HK are 7/10 games

>>724817929
Hollow Knight would've been GOTY 2017 if not for Nier Automata and Breath of the Wild. Silksong is even better, and its only competition is E33.

>>724815052 (OP)
Yeah it was.
I didn't wait 6 years though because that would have been stupid, I had other games to play. I just waited two weeks after the release date was announced, like a normal person.

How the fuck can any of you defend this game? It took 7 years to develop and it's still full of bugs.

>>724815226
so does /v/
contrarian shitposters wouldn't waste their time shitting on bad games

>>724818135
what do you mean? the game has barely any bu- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH I GET IT, IT'S FULL OF "BUGS"! SO CLEVER, I NEVER HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE!

There's quite a few 2017 games I enjoyed more than Hollow Knight.
This year Silksong is winning by default for me because the only other game that's come out that I played was Donkey Kong, and Silksong is only just better than it. If I could pick an old game that I played for the first time this year it would probably be something like Aria of Sororow or Rondo of Blood
They're remarkable for being cheap games with long runtimes but beyond that they really aren't special.

The game was ass. Act 1 was kind of cool but in act 2 they made me walk for hours through the same looking levels, fighting the same enemies over and over.

Imagine 50% of hk map was city of tears and all 3 dreamers were there. I just lost interest, sit on a bench thinking I'll continue playing tomorrow and I never came back.

>>724817929
Filtered by the lack of neurons in your brain and therefore the lack of good taste

>>724816478
hollow knight's complete lack of difficulty was always my one complaint. I love HK but I love the world, art, music, artstyle, exploring, the story presented as a puzzle to be pieced together. I just always had to accept that it is disappointingly easy. I was not at all expecting silksong to fix this and i'm more than happy with what silksong turned out to be.
bonus points to silksong for making /v/ seeth for 2+ months now over the fact that the game presented a difficulty level beyond the nintendo babycore they prefer and are accustomed to.

>>724818296
I agree, Castlevania games often feel very cheap, especially the GBA titles.

>>724818612
Silksong doesn't provide real difficulty, you don't understand or play video games if you think otherwise. You're just as bad as tendie fags.
>>724818135
Pre-op or post-op?

>>724817631
Making the game as annoying as possible seems to have been their main priority

That's a very long winded way of saying "I think castlevania is bad because I am bad at it" have you just tried gitting gud?

>>724819756
And one day you'll play gud games. Unfortunately not while you're playing Silksong

I am actually shocked it surpassed every expectations I had

>>724815052 (OP)
You're too early, oh madman, and the masses cannot comprehend the enormity of your statement. Give it a few months, for the sunk cost hype to die down, and only those tumblrites and redditors who have invested heavily into "Being HK and SS fans" as part of their personality will continue to rate SS as anything more than, "Ok, but really an underwhelming disappointment given how long it took to make."

>>724819981
really?

>>724819398
Both games are Metroidvanias, the exploration gameplay is at the least as important if not more important than the actual boss fights.
Godhome was a mistake.

>>724818694
I didn't say "feel cheap" I said are cheap, which obviously applies to Hollow Knight and Silksong. They are $20 games with a bunch of padded content that I could do without.
Castlevania games are tightly designed (except for HoD). They also have way way better music. It cannot be understated just how much better the average Castlevania OST is than Hollow Knight and Silksong

>NOOOOO I CANT JUST ENJOY THINGS I CONSTANTLY NEED TO BE OFFENDED AND JUSTFY MY TASTE TO STRANGERS ONLINE

You guys are pathetic. Why would you get baited by a dogshit thread like this?

>>724819981
You must have had pretty low expectations anon.

>>724820319
There's no point in talking sense to her, she clearly doesn't care about video games let alone the genre that Silksong fails miserably at.

You guys know this isn't something every game has to endure, right? You don't have to make sure every thread about every game has people saying it's shit. We can reserve that for games that aren't good.

>get to act 3
>enemies have twice as much health now and can also all attack from a range
>everything is a gauntlet
>everything (still) costs rosaries, which are harder to get now by the way because everything has a health multiplier
>all that time you spent getting stronger was actually worthless
I hated it. There's nothing in act 3 that even looks remotely fun to me.

>>724820290
And adding obnoxious enemies everywhere and hiding half the map behind breakable walls doesn't actually improve exploration, it just slows it down to a crawl

>>724821079
Like silksong, right sister?

Hollow trannies BTFO

yea

>>724823965

>>724821210
Also there's lots of nerfed enemy group sizes in act3, so not only do they have more health, there's also less of them. I don't know why there wasn't a coliseum of fools equivalent because there also was just a shitload of gauntlets

>>724824023
>Sherma
Is that a ...?

>>724819398

HK bosses are easy except for DLC content

>>724824636
Another coliseum wouldn't have made sense with Pharloom's story, so they spread it out into the various gauntlets, and also Coral Tower.

>>724824913

well they wrote the game though. You could just justify it any way you like. Just make it make sense.

>>724825581
Or they could just not make their sequel a hollow (heh) rehash of the first game.

>>724825719
Nobody here is upset about a poorly designed boss with 2 boring attacks. The game isn't hard or special, it's just bad.

>>724825719
The people who hate Silksong were filtered somewhere in Greymoor or Shellwood.

>>724826350
Crazy that Moorwing and Sister Splinter filtered enough players that they nerfed them.

>>724826350
People who love Silksong haven't even played it. They troon out about bug porn and shit their headcanon all over the place. The game is not good btw.

>>724816138

Factually wrong. Bonebottom is actually safe and doesnt have drug cartels and violent gangs looking to shank and rob tourists

Shazam lost and got raped

>>724826967
>violent gangs looking to shank and rob tourists

>>724825671
I don't think that'd necessarily happen if they did that. A big arena is just a fun thing to do, especially if there are money rewards (which this game needs more of)

>>724827157
>Act 3
come on man they're scavenging in a post-apocalypic wasteland, it's not the same thing

>>724827692
Just saying it's pretty obvious throughout the game that they intentionally did a lot of things to contrast with how they were in Hollow Knight. Not having a coliseum in the base game was likely a conscious decision.
We'll see if they add one for DLC. It and another Godhome seem to be pretty common requests and would be relatively easy to add since they'd mostly reuse assets. But again we'll see if they want to do the same things HK did, even in DLC.

Did anyone else catch the anon who tried posting a SS thread but posted a selfie instead, and happen to screenshot it in time?

People will be contrarian about anything.

I love both games. That said, I do prefer the original simply because I liked the setting, world building, tone and atmosphere of hopelessness a bit more.
Silksong still has a desolate and hopeless world in Pharloom but it's not the same vibe. There's a bit more life in it.

I think the improvements in gameplay are welcomed though, but man it really is a much tougher game. The original gave me little issues beating all the bosses including Radiance which was a hard boss but not impossible.

I gave up on Lost Lace after a few tries. Honestly by that point I had just done everything in the game and I wanted to move on anyways and didn't feel like trying over and over again 100 times before I beat her so I just moved on, did everything else to 100% the game though. It's just a much more challenging game in general, I definitely had a lot more struggles and some of the boss arenas were just so insanely small and hard to fight in. I just had to cheese a few of the bosses to get past them.

>>724828494

It definitely is a much more challenging game and not always in a fun or fair way. Bumping into shit with the courier's rasher and having it take damage was really annoying, for example. Bilewater's lack of benches and literal 5 minute boss runback were atrocious and unforgivable. It's not a fucking kaizo mario game. They really took a page out of the souls handbook except 7 years later that style is passe.

>>724828026
>come on man they're scavenging in a post-apocalypic wasteland
So... Brazil?

>>724826709
Silksong is GOTY.

t. beat the game twice.

>>724828682
I guarantee you don't know what Kaizo Mario was and why it was infamous.
Most of SS' difficulty is just punishing people who decide to take the bait because they're stupid. Think you can get through Hunter's Path without dash? Eat shit. Think you're ready to do courier's rasher without clawline and double jump? Eat shit. Think you're ready to do Groal without it being the last thing you do for Silk & Soul? Fucking eat shit because you deserve it. If you don't think you should eat shit then prove it by being better, otherwise it's your fault for taking the bait and the game isn't going to coddle you.

>>724829472

I know what kaizo mario is. obviously it isn't as bad, but the design philosophy of punishing players with an unpredictable trap that sets them back is still there, as is the general cunty platforming design choices. Bilewater's boss runback is atrocious and unjustifiable. The area itself is not THAT bad but the runback is obscene and a time waster.

>>724815052 (OP)
I thought it was.

>>724829472


I didn't even realize you needed to kill groal for the silk and soul quest

>>724815052 (OP)
It was, actually

>>724829591
>Bilewater's boss runback is atrocious and unjustifiable
WAAAAH RUNBACK!!! is the most retarded excuse redditors ans youtubers could come up with. Bilewater is a treacherous shithole an enemy gauntlet and a shit boss at the end of a treacherous climb with contaminated water that blocks healing. Do you
>A. Throw yourself at it and die over and over and over and over again
Or
>B. Eat a silk eater and go explore somewhere else
The truly confusing part about this tantrum is that you cant properly explore bilewater without double jump.....which also gives you access to the memorium and the putrefied ducts which contains the wreath that makes the water harmess. And you can just forgo healing altogether with the plasmium architect build

>>724815052 (OP)
I think it was but I didn't want to say it out loud and I'm not sure

>>724830389
finishing bilewater without double jump was pretty fun

>>724816138
>citadel usa, cradle israel
kek

>>724815052 (OP)
It was because I got into HK later than everyone else and didn't have to wait as long. Silksong came out 8 months after I cleared Godhome and I was catching up on old Metroidvanias between the two. And it's a better game than Hollow Knight.

>>724830695
>bilewater without double jump
How? Did you fall in from the vaults?

>>724830758
(((Grand MOTHer Silk)))

>>724830914
I beat all of Act 2 without finding double jump

>>724815138
fippy bippy

it's not even worth pirating

I've been playing it off and on since the first weekend it was out. Shit is fun. Definitely treats the player like its dlc. The exploration is great and the movement is fluid. Don't know what the hell OP is on about.

When Team Cherry gets around to finally releasing the DLC, I do hope that we do see Hornet's Pale God Form and it better be unique then the standard four-arms with a humanoid form.

>>724831360
If Hornet gets a god form it'll be what we see in the standard ending. But we won't because she's not a full god.

Fantastic game, but I'm waiting for the free updates to play it again. Only real complaints are general pacing, quests that require killing certain enemies again, and Act 3 taking awhile to unlock.

>>724830914
Is there another way in? I know you can open up a shortcut to the exhaust organ but that's still not an initail entrance.

>Bad game is bad
>retarded casuals love it
Many such cases. This is 2025s amongus.

>>724830695
>>724830914
It's literally impossible to do all of Bilewater without double jump.

>>724832523
No it's not. You new to metroidvanias?

>>724830914
This nigga never took the sinners road, bilewater, mist route to the citadel.

>>724832613
So you admit you haven't played the game, thanks.

>>724832523
I just did it without the double jump. I couldn't get to where the map is sold, but I made it to the mist.

>>724816138
It's lucky if it wins indie of the year

>>724815052 (OP)
Agreed. Hollowknight took 2 years, Silkong took 7, and Silksong is maybe 80% as good as Hollowknight because it tries too hard and just shits up the game instead. I could have had 3 Hollowknight games in the time it took to overcook this turd of a sequel.

>>724832804
>I couldn't get to where the map is sold
Like I said, you can't do all of Bilewater without double jump.

>>724832804
>>724832523
Oh shit we are saying the same thing. My bad.

>>724815138
FOOPER BOOPER
OP DILATING AND BTFO!!!!!

>>724832698
Are you okay? I completed act 1 and 2 in their entirety and saved Mount Fay for last. What is with this fanbase and automatically sperging out with "OKAY SO YOU DIDNT PLAY THE GAME!!!!" Anytime their opinions are proven wrong?
Seek some professional help, freak.

>>724832681
Correct. Sinner's road has a point that connects to the mist directly

>>724832523
finishing = clearing, not completing
you finish the area by killing Groal which can be done without the double jump. No one is talking about completion autism

>>724832915
Where's that? I only found the bilewater entrance.

>>724832958
maybe with some autistic skip or the thing where you bust through the shortcut backwards with the purple lightning weapon
but that really doesn't count
why? because I said so

>>724832958
>killing Groal which can be done without the double jump
Wrong. They patched out the voltvessel skip which, along with pogoing off the drapeflies to get to the Ducts, was the only way to get there without double jump. But you didn't even need to kill Groal to get the soul so there was no reason for you to specify killing Groal.

I think the most interesting thing about this game is how many people have different experiences with the bosses. Like I had no issues with karmalita, Seth, lost lace but fucking nyleth and crust king gauntlet wrecked me

>>724833036
There's a long pool of maggoty water with swinging spikes and shit at the top.of sinner's road. Cross it, and you can find a breakable wall to the mist

>>724833039
>>724833090
why are you bringing up ducts? I got to the bottom part of that and couldn't figure out how to get to anything else except the meat quest after clearing bilewater. I came into bilewater by dropping down from the citadel

>>724833275
read replies before asking dumb question

>>724833090
Just because YOU can't do it, doesn't mean WE can't do it. Maybe if you spent less time jerking off to headcanon you'd be better at the game.

So we already got the ghost in silksong mod I'm looking forward to hornet in hk mod

>>724833264
>breakable wall
Feels like I followed the intended path. But thats cool.

>>724833331
I know you can't do it because it's not possible. You can kill Groal without clawline by using cocoon jumps to get through Mt. Fay, but you can't do that to get past the double jump spot in Bilewater.

>>724833305
you're making a dumb assertion. you can drop down from the citadel, kill Groal, grab the soul, and even get the stupid crying baby inventory shit without double jump and just pogoing off enemies and walljumping. That's all that's needed to clear the area. Again, no one's talking about completion.

>>724833387
The sinner's road connection to bilewater is a breakable wall as well so yeah

>>724828494
>>724828682
I genuinely wonder why so many people insist Silksong is more difficult. And not just more difficult, but more difficult by a lot.
If that genuinely was the case for you, then fair. But I replayed Hollow Knight leading up to Silksong and then played even more of it after beating Silksong. And I genuinely had an easier time with Silksong. By a fair bit. Silksong simply allows you to be so very clumsy. It's a much more lenient game.

>>724833431
>kill Groal, grab the soul, [...] without double jump
Wrong, unless you're referring to being able to drop down from the Ducts before they patched that out.

>>724833182
for me, it's bizarre when the high hall gauntlet is brought up. or lost lace. both were very straight forward.

>>724833464
That one is obvious. Like there was a path here with debris. I'll have to explore sinners road again.

>>724833413
Which of the many double jump spots would that be? Because I cleared them all.

>>724815052 (OP)
the fact that Ninja Gaiden 4 (by far the shittiest and most poorly made NG game ever) is still so much better than this game and its dogshit combat made me realize how bad this game is and even worse how bad games this year are.

>>724833492
Silksong is fake hard, HK is challenging. Massive difference between the two that nobody seems to be able to wrap their head around.

>>724833603
You know there's no point lying about something like this on an anonymous image board right? Like nobody's going to go "woah that guy's such a pro expert gamer" because you obviously lie about something that's impossible without mods.

>>724833492
>>724833664
Silksong gives you a lot more ways to cheese everything, and then puts you in situations where you're expected to cheese them. So for the YDNBTG crowd who insists on beating everything """fairly""" it's harder.

Will GTA6 be worth the wait?

>>724833664
>fake hard
Wtf does that even mean? is this some new zoomie lingo like safe horny?

>>724833710
I'm being genuine with you, you're the one who is insisting on things that are blatantly untrue and it is extremely misleading for people who are playing the game. Don't take your shortcomings out on me, it's just a game it's really not that serious.

Would have been perfect if Act3 didn't fuck over several quest and made some items impossible to acquire. ONLY thing stopping me from actually beating the game and I feel fucked over by the devs.

>>724833786
It means rather than having well thought out enemies and bosses they just multiplied them and gave them more health. 75% of the bosses in Silksong are fundamentally identical. Giving a boss ads does not make it a hard or good boss.

>>724833932
Which ones? If anything I felt they bent over backward to not fuck up the maps too badly so things are permanently missable (except the Shakra and Garmond duels).

>give it a chance
>play for about 4 hours
>it's mostly just spanning the entire map over and over trying to find new paths
>mostly hitting dead ends

Fascinating what zoomers find fun nowadays. I probably won't play it again.

>>724833431
idk maybe with some obscure enemy pogoing, it's definitely not obvious without double jumpu

>it was only 7 years
Adhd kiddies think this a long time btw

>>724833995
>they just multiplied them and gave them more health
This isnt some shitty jrpg with inflated HP statpools
>75% of the bosses in Silksong are fundamentally identical.
Now you just sound like a salty filtered faggot

Yes it was

I had to pause my playthrough because ninja gaiden 4 came out and I had to play it for two weeks, I'm now wrapping up act 3. Can't imagine going back to HK after SS, it's such an amazing game, Hornet is an amazing character and I only wish crests were more powerful.

I finally got around to playing the game a few days ago, it's definitely harder than HK but it otherwise just feels like more of the same game. I'm a bit worried how nasty the later acts are if I'm having rough patches all the way in the first one.

>>724833779
Only if it costs less than $100

I really really enjoyed the gameplay. The combat was genuinely fucking fantastic and a huge step above Hollow Knight in just about every single way. I find it really hard to go back to playing as the little ghost now.

I was lucky enough to rush the true ending before going for 100% so I didn't really feel the Act 3 pacing issues that most felt. However, pacing is still a bit of an issue in the game overall. I don't think the map is too big, but it FEELS like it's too big because you're constantly traversing between different areas trying to find the next thing to do. Plus there's all the filler quests that really don't amount to anything, areas that feel underbaked despite the map size, and the reward progression feeling just a bit off.

I love this game but it's definitely not a 10/10.

>>724834016
Bait

>>724834303
Act 1 is hardest because you start off with nothing. The game becomes much easier the more upgrades you get.

>>724834374
Even with max upgrades, Act 3 content is still leaps and bounds harder than Act 1 content. I would rather fight Last Judge right after leaving Bone Bottom for the first time than fight Karmelita.

>>724834374
Man I hope so, the stupid flying boss guarding the beast crest took me nearly two hours.

>>724834454
That one's a perfect example because he gets much easier when you have thread storm to clear the adds and Reaper for the easier pogo.

>>724834454
Oh yeah that boss is a notorious asshole

>>724834175

If people got their heads out of their asses and finally realized how mid HK truly was, they never would have been surprised by Silksong's similar result. It's the same fucking flavor of mediocrity (sans music). What the fuck is wrong with you people

>>724835081
Yes, I get it. You've never played another Metroidvania in your life. You are very young.

>>724834963
Good job listing 5 of the like, 48? Bosses.
Beastfly and Splinter are indeed fundamentally the same btw.

I know you think this is some revolutionary masterpiece or something, I'm really sorry but it's not. You should really try playing more games instead of malding online.

I got the basic bad ending and honestly, I'm good.

Every time kek.

>Move back and forth
>Splinter is attached to the ceiling while Beastfly actually charges at your position
Being contrarian doesnt make you specialnor does doubling down when you're wrong
>Play more games!
Damn, that's on a different column. Try something else

>"hey let me copy your homework, I'll change a couple words so it doesn't look like I copied"
Wow it's almost like they're fundamentally the same boss, along with a majority of the others in the game.

>>724834963
Are you the troon who tried posting a SS thread earlier but accidentally posted a selfie?

>>724836079
I thought I told you doubling down on your contraianism doesnt make you special.
It's also not on the card. So come on, try harder

>>724836354
Ah, so you can't actually prove me wrong. I accept your concession.

its like that one image of the retard predicting that the switch would flop

>>724836495
>I accept your concession.
Fuck, that's on a different row

>>724815052 (OP)
It was good. Actual criticisms I had despite this:
>pogo comes too hard too fast, default angled downstrike makes it tougher than needed
>some secret zones very hard to find entrance. A few have a quest guiding you but many do not, besides "there's a flea and an empty map section there, go hit a few hundred walls"
>too many gauntlets. not just in act 3 (though it gets obnoxious at that point)
>certain areas like Abyss, wormways and weavenests feel underbaked and empty AF
>Act 3 wears out its welcome very very quickly and becomes a gruelling slog
>some backtracking in these games is inevitable but my god, with the giant map it's just painful
>TWO weapon upgrades gatekept behind annoying ass quests that take forever (courier's rasher and flea games). Oh and they make you backtrack

it's still fun though. even forced myself to finish final act 3 boss.

>>724836625
Ohhh he really got you mad, silksister!

Was it better than Hollow Knight? I played through 65% of Hollow Knight. I liked it

i just got the regular ending and drop it there, didn’t like it very much, but I’m more a vania guy anyways.

>>724836812
Silksong's difficulty curve expects you have to beaten Hollow Knight first. There are definitely some mechanical improvements, but the structure and pacing are hit-or-miss.

>>724836758
>Tranny!
>got it already
So that's it then? All out of ideas already?

>>724836987
Not as out of ideas as team cherry apparently

>>724836982
I'm a gamer though.

>>724835283
>>724836079
Splinter tests dash, Beastfly tests pogo, both test silk skill and tool usage with adds although Splinter's are far more forgiving with silkspear while Beastfly's are better with thread storm.

>makes up specific ways to beat simple bosses to make them feel cool and unique
I'm proud of you, anon. I killed them with my needle.

This

story and worldbuilding were a disappointment but everything else delivered
