Hollow Knight took 3 years to make

Hollow Knight took 3 years to make

Silksong is 2.5 times bigger according to TC

Silksong took 6 years to make

Why are they rushing this game so hard? Do they want another Cyberpunk launch?

You wont play australian metroidslop, right, anon?

shaw!

Does making Hornet jump to see under her skirt count as playing?

SEX with Hornet

I like the way you get to see up her skirt as she does attacks

Silksong is 2.5 times bigger according to TC

I love Hollow Knight, but I hope this isn't true. I will burnout on the game. HK was big enough

Just hope it won't go overrated, Hollow Knight is Overrated that fans overlook how terrible the gameplay is or even as a Metroidvania game and just say that it has nice "world-building" or "story"

I don't care what fans of Metroid think. Metroid is mediocre 6 hour slop.

Silksong is 2.5 times bigger according to TC

Silksong is just HK but this time with 7.5x more rooms on the map than it needed

its not looking good bros. hope they accidentally make the movement fun this time, otherwise its gonna be a huge slog.

He meant the genre, Metroidvania, genius.

can't burn out on something that will never be released

It's releasing this year though

You don't know that, none of us will know if it will release this year until it actually releases, or the year passes.

Team Cherry (guys who are making the game btw):

The game is coming out in 2025

Random tranny on 4cuck:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT'S NOT COMING OUT BECAUSE THE VOICES IN MY HEAD SAID SO SHUT UP SHUT UP NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Movement doesn't affect how enjoyable it is to explore a world. Even if I could only walk and jump in Hollow Knight it still would have been a fun experience.

Movement doesn't affect how enjoyable it is to explore a world.

Yes it does. Are you an idiot?

have the games' foundation ready, three years of experience and infinite budget

content is developed faster

HOW COULD THIS POSSIBLY HAPPEN??

How is infinite budget going to help when it's developed by the same amount of people as HK?

metroidslop

old buzzwords not working, tortanicfag?

Why would you want to take a peek under a bug skirt?

That's a "them" issue. If they aren't willing to bring in more personnel to address their larger ambitions then they should be ready for the backwash that comes from being protracted, inconsistent, and noncommittal.

I don't care any more. They couldn't be assed to give updates. I can't be assed to buy the game

Because people can't shut up about it

Wow, such a loss.

Just don't go around discouraging everyone else from buying it either, the world doesn't revolve around your dissatisfaction.

Yes it does.

if you use a guide or online map to play through Silksong in 2025 you didn't beat the game

no longer have to worry about job

no longer have to put in effort into saving costs and worry about money

no longer have to ask anyone for anything

no longer have to eat in worse and inconvenient places

Also theyre no longer totally the same ammount of people, they have a much bigger team for testing/qa which isnt that big a deal but makes a difference

Also apparently their new programmer is more skilled at programming games than the guy who did most of HK1's code

3 seconds of Silksong shown

people actually think it will release this year

Nobody has actually said silksong is coming out this year so why do people think that?

They showed 2025
This time for sure.... trust the plan

no, i only play chinese and taiwanese games

the marketer never acknowledged the xbox annpuncement only at the end to confirm the delay

the marketer instantly retweeted the this year nintendo tweet and changed his banner to silksong

Yeah im thinking we won

Hollow Knight took 3 years to make

It took close to 10, about 5 years of pre-production, planning, world building in their spare time, 2 of prototyping, doing game jams etc, 3 of actual production.

That would include Australian games though

Fuck that, I'm going in blind like with hollow knight

in their spare time

Now they do it full time as a job for which they're handsomely compensated. Would've thought that would accelerated the process.

HK was rushed put because they ran out of money.

Team Cherry had to pay for Hornet's voice actor like a real man should

Hornet sex

You can't. She's too small, you would break her

to be fair, Australian women haven't caught up, so until then I don't grant them the rank of chinese colony

bug panties

She doesn't wear any

Going blind locked me out of Ending A so I will at least check out if there's an item that can't be removed after obtaining it which is related to the ending

With her onii-chan, obviously.

I hope he appears in Silksong if you got the godhome ending.

so have they announced that it is official from 2025? or is this just speculation from the nintendo direct?

Isn't he genderless or something?

Anus sex

I'm pretty sure they finished making the game long ago but nintendo urged or paid them a lot of money to not make this game launch on switch but switch 2 instead.

Are you fucking serious? Movement is half the genre

just speculation from the nintendo direct?

Team Cherry saying the game will come out in 2025 is not "speculation"

Can you post their official statement?

youtube.com/watch?v=6c2pyKhlGwU

That's from the Nintendo direct though. Didn't we have something similar happen with xbox?

yeah Xbox said everygame in their direct a few years ago would be out within a year. silksong never hit that deadline

Any proof? He was supposed to be pure, but that was a lie.

So really, the godhome ending canonically ends with with THK and Hornet having a Japanese sibling relationship.

This faggot with the memory of a golden fish.

how hard is the 5 hour speedrun achievement? I've already done 100% steel soul, trying to figure out which one to do next

Note how this got no response from the crying never-ever fags

i hope so anon. I hope that the game is great too

What if they're black? Or transparent?

first game was overrated as shit good game but nothing special now you telling the next game is 2.5 bigger this game is about to disappoint a lot of people

Would've thought that would accelerated the process.

Why? It's a creative process, not making a mcdonalds burger.

Any good, recent metroidvanias I could play in the meanwhile?

Flipwitch.

Easy if you have a direct route and don't fuck around. I did it in 3 and a half

Nine sols

Metroid Dread

Not a good metroidvania. A good action game though

Not really. Castlevania games have basic movement and are still good.

The 112% speedrun record is 3 hours 15 mins, so even without skips you have a ton of leeway if your goal is simply finishing the game.

Hornet is referred to as the "gendered child" specifically because her having a gender was unique among the pale king's offspring. All of the vessels are genderless.

in the same way a mindless machine or flesh golem is genderless, yeah, not in an "I'm a heckin' wholesome enby" way

And her shota bro too.

I really don't get why some people are so hyped for this game. Hollow Knight was just slightly above average

they disagree with you. hope this helps.

Horny for Hornet!

She's a stick, not thick

He's made of void goo right? I'm sure we can shape a cock out of that

Then they're wrong

overrated is a word only pseuds who care about imaginary cred over the media they consume
aka retards who think they are smart for not liking something popular

nintendo trailer had a big "2025" release date on it. not the most solid confirmation (especially after the xbox debacle), but it's the most we've ever gotten in years. at least we know the game is still coming

xbox was some guy on twitter saying "all the games shown will release within 12 months"
this time the 2025 was in the trailer snippet itself

Castlevania games also have fleshed out RPG and combat systems

I barely even remember how the first has ended. Can HK himself appear in the sequel? Didn't he become some void god thing?

Igavania games all have more going on in the movement and gameplay department.
You get a lot of new abilities and weapons that changes your play style

I have never indicated otherwise
The vessels were tools designed to fulfill a task more than they were actual "children"

hope they accidentally make the movement fun this time

You can visibly see that Hornet is immensely more mobile than the Knight.

I for one hope there is another place like Godhome in Silksong where I can just indulge myself in the combat and spend countless hours there after beating the regular game.

Stop whitepilling the game is NOT coming out this year

I am screen capping your post. If the game comes out this year, be on the lookout for a thread where I mock you.

Cheap ass bitches barely bothered paying for a trailer. They better step up

why the fuck did TC make the game look worse? picrel is BEFORE.
x.com/mossbag69/status/1909249997696086495

too bright and busy desu

how terrible the gameplay is

In what way? I wouldn't call HK gameplay revolutionary or anything but the exploration is competent and combat is tight and I also never really see anyone praise the story or worldbuilding for HK first before talking about other aspects. HK absolutely is overrated but it's also objectively one of the best metroidvanias out there. Not THE best but it's a contender.

i had fun walkan and jumpan and theres nothing u can do abt it

worse

before looks way too cluttered. the new shopkeeper looks worse though

Not THE best

What is the best

I'd take cluttered over empty

In my objective opinion the best metroidvania is Ender Magnolia

But it has cringe anime girl protagonist

There's not even a guarantee Silksong will release this year, remember when Microsoft tried to force Team Cherry's hand by announcing Silksong in their showcase a few years ago?

It's going to change overtime just like Dirtmouth

Let's cope and say that town has day/night

hope that's stage 1 then

xbox was some guy on twitter saying "all the games shown will release within 12 months"

They said that within the presentation itself.

Ten years from now, Silksong will be old news: you will be bored with it and perhaps even bitter with it - this thing you deified and waited so long for.

It will come out, so why care when it does unless you have a terminal disease?

Quest board gone

Good, Silksong is saved

Yeah look. In the empty one most of the lights are off. It'll probably get more and more populated/alive as you progress.

Might as well kill yourself since you're gonna die anyway

No, because then I won't get to play Silksong.
Fucking retard.

new screenshot has scavengers and both the shop and the foreground are way more dirty
we're going to fix it up

Kek

better combat

better exploration

better art direction

better music

better worldbuilding

better characters

better story

You unironically cannot name a single aspect that HK has over EM

Guns of Fury was recent and actually good.

Is the phenomenon of parasocial relationships with online personas the reason people shit themselves over developers not keeping potential consumers abreast of the progress of development?

I will never care about that game because Lilac is a massive downgrade from Lily.

If you're a fag maybe

you just named seven for him

People like you are why HK is overrated. You're delusional.

This is the game I'm most hype for right now and nothing else really comes close. RELEASE IT!

I am heterosexual, that's why I like the girl who has short hair and an androgynous build and outfit, by the way did I mention I am heterosexual?

good catch, thank god
actually I think that area was just rejigged to be more run down but I pray quests were nuked from orbit

I'm kinda more hyped for d44m 3 but my pc can't run it :( retarded rtx meme

Femininity is tied to clothing and hair

You know who thinks like that? Troons do because that's the ONLY way they can act like a woman. A real normal heterosexual man can see Lilac a cute. You're not a tranny right anon?

Already played it. Solid 6-7.
Keep forgetting that's a porn game.
It really didn't stick with me and I ended up refunding.
don't have a nintendo bitch and I doubt my toaster can emulate.

To be fair a little girl should have an androgynous build
It's why "straight" pedos still go for little boys

Obvious changing over time.
But if its not, then they removed the quest board and I’ll take the sacrifice.

doesn't like a dainty little tomboy trying to act tough

Lilac is adorable, she mogs Lily hard

I played and enjoyed the hell out of doom 2016 but haven't played eternal yet so I probably won't be playing dark ages for a long while

I'm a small guy.

For the nth time, I love Silksong's palette in comparison to HK's

What's different about it?

what do you mean by palette, the colours? wew red

2.5 times bigger

I can't wait to get 2.5 times lost in endless samey tunnels with no map whatsoever

Chad yes
People with no sense of direction get filtered

Femininity isn't tied to clothing and hair

You're right anon, that's why men often wear skirts, they are considered unisex clothing, there is no difference between how men and women dress or groom themselves.
Good job ignoring that her build was also mentioned so you could have your little rant too.

She's a child and has the EXACT same build as Lily so that's how I know you're just coping. Just want to let you know that no matter how you dress or how you do your hair you will NEVER be a woman. Join the 41% soon.

with no map whatsoever

Except HK had map

If you don't think this is normal male dress you must be a tranny

What is this logic?

Femininity is 100% on personality and mannerisms. This is massive cope

This is something I actually really appreciated about hollow knight. When you're about to enter a new area lighting changes and so do background effects and imagery so you know where you're going before you get there a lot of the time which helps with getting to where you need to

Femininity is 100% on personality and mannerisms.

you mean femininity is 100% about how you present yourself, which includes clothing
not him but youre retarded lmao
now call me a tranny and run away crying

Dumb tranny can't even follow a conversation and instantly deflects to some retarded strawman. A man wearing a dress will never be a woman, a woman wearing shorts will never be a man. If you'd actually played Ender Magnolia you'd know that Liliac acts very feminine but of course you're just a mentally ill freak looking for weird shit to affirm your mental illness.

Lilac doesn't act feminine either though, whereas Lily does. So that's reinforcing the point.

Silksong is 2.5 times bigger according to TC

Isn't Hollow Knight already pretty massive as far as metroidvania are concerned?

Probably

sees Silksong recommendation about "BIGGEST reveal YET"

30 minutes analysis over a 5 second clip

I kneel for this type of autism

No difference.

HK's fanbase is really autistic

I assume they probably had part-time jobs when they were making Hollow Knight

Yes indeed, the only other person that i've known irl that likes HK is gay and autistic, so...certified autism game

>Silksong is 2.5 times bigger according to TC

as long as hornet is 3 times as fast it'll be fine, and given the fact we've seen her sprint around I think we're good
In fact I remember one of the devs saying they had to redesign all the levels because hornet was too tall for their first pass

Is that slowed down? That feels pretty sluggish compared to how the knight moves around in 1.

Why would you assume that lol they are millionaires, hollow knight sold millions of copies

Are you retarded? Read what he said and think about it a bit harder this time.

based illiterate

WHEN
THEY WERE MAKING
HOLLOW KNIGHT

Most intelligent Hollow Knight fan

still can't believe they added slopes

True, Hungry Knight did sell millions of copies, but probably not enough to make them millionaires since they still needed a kickstarter

retard

The original plan was Hornet being playable in Hollow Knight, part of the rationale behind Silksong was TC realized Hornet was too tall for Hollow Knight's levels, they didn't redesign the first pass of Silksong's levels because they were already being made with Hornet in mind.
I think this might also be some of the misdirect behind Silksong being 2.5x bigger, it physically had to be bigger to fit Hornet, it doesn't necessarily mean there are 2.5x the number of playable rooms.
Although given how fucking long it's taken, that could be true.

inb4 he claims he was baiting

good action game, terrible metriod

The Knight is a female as in game you can equip the glowing womb.
All the charms in the game allow the Knight do something, the glowing womb activates her ovaries into overdrive but they were always there.
Just equipping the charm wouldn't make her grow ovaries, no. She always had them.
She is "genderless" in the respect that a robot girl is genderless.

what the hell is this garbage thread, anyway rune fencer grid we got a new kickstarter update...but i'm not going to lie, the game does not seem to be coming out anytime soon

Buy an ad

people have been saying "team cherry totally said it comes out this year" since the game was announced. the reality is team cherry has not and will never say anything about it.

But will it have SOUL

what metroidvania is objectively better than HK?
it was kind of my first one and i had a blast with it

obviously not

better combat

Attacking halts all momentum. Trash.

better exploration

They're about the same

better art direction

Don't agree. And it has much worse animation.

better music

lol no it's just a Nier Automata ripoff

better worldbuilding

Don't care enough to say either way

better characters

Fuck no

better story

It barely has any story to begin with

i had a blast with it

lol

uh... ok?

uh... ok?

lol

why would an amorphous blob of shadowstuff have internal organs

There just isn't one. No other games is as much of a complete package as Hollow Knight is.

he's a female in the same sense that a robot is a female robot. retard

I'd struggle to even really justify calling it a metroidvania

There has been YES news for Silksong today

youtube.com/watch?v=ObCRErMU9e4

I really don't like how the new screenshots have much blurrier backgrounds, apparently this may be to hide lower resolution background images to optimize it for the switch. The layered background art is one of my favorite parts of HK and one of the most important things about it's atmosphere, I'll be really disappointed if we all get a nerfed experience in Silksong so tendies can run it better

what metroidvania is objectively better than HK?

none

had a blast

kys

that one game with the castle

I just realized that the quest board is gone

so what kinda seething can we expect from Anon Babble when it comes out and doesn't flop?

new on the left

old on the right

KILL THYSELF IN IRL FOR REAL

I want to glass you.

and doesn't flop

Who in the absolute fuck has ever said it won't sell well? You retards will make up fucking anything so you can "own" someone. Literal fanfiction.

blame daily silksong news I just screencapped his vid

starts the genre with the best game in it

grim, it's all downhill from here

idk about "objectively better", but super metroid is really good

game is undoubtedly a good game

but having fun with is... bad?

how weak is the switch that it can't handle .pngs?

An amorphous blob with a physical form, created the same way Hornet was just without a soul.
Amorphous how exactly?
How do you think hornet and the Knight were made?

The most silkful game.

go have a blast anon

but he didn't start with La-Mulana

I generally don't like busy backgrounds so if that change is universal it's fine by me, though in a non-dangerous area it's much less of an issue.

created the same way Hornet was just without a soul.

illiterate-kun...

Hornet is not a Vessel, she's just a regular bug

So if you were to remove Hornet's soul;
She would just loose her ovaries and pussy?
Are dead bodies genderless?

disingenuous faggot
You don't believe what you are saying

They can take however long they want honestly. Everytime we get new screens the art looks better than the last.

The backgrounds in Hollow Knight are a ton of images layered over eachother, even in HK they are low resolution images to save resources obscured by blur which is fine because it looks great. It seems like in Silksong they've made it barely visible now though, I really hate it

don't care, post more curly

silence brand

Hornet is called the gendered child because she's the only one of the pale kings children with a sex, the rest are void

This isn't an optimization. Switch 2 can run PNGs. They're blurring everything to improve readability for the game's frenetic combat and Hornet's faster speed. They've also made her dress far more red, a shade not shared by anything else onscreen. You can see this most with Lace's arena. They've also reduced the amount of overall visual clutter in the foreground. There are aspects of the before screenshot that look much better to me, but it's a still. The second is an improvement in most aspects which are not evident until you see both in motion. The scale and quality of assets have been seriously altered as well. I'm sure there's some degree of philosophical perfectionism that's delayed the game, too.

no, she is trans like me :)

gendered child

who calls her that?
Also it is very curios to me that you have IGNORED THE GLOWING WOMB, which was the whole crux of my argument.
Seems pretty fucking gendered to me

Has that ever even been confirmed?
Like I agree that it's more likely than not that she is not void to any degree. And she is most certainly and confirmed to not be a full void creature like the ghosts.
But how do we know she isn't partially void? Is the idea simply that the pale king can't have imparted any void from his side because he is divine? And that herrah was but a beast and neither void nor god?

Hornet is not void you've been community noted

who calls her that?

Mike does

who calls her that?

The white lady

It faced the Gendered Child? She's a fierce foe, strong in mind and body, striking reflection of her mother, though the two were permitted little time together.

Also it is very curios to me that you have IGNORED THE GLOWING WOMB

You are reading way too much into a charm vs actual exposition

who calls her that?

Cucked-tree-mom does.

They did the same with the backgrounds in Hollow Knight on PC vs Switch.

Oh so nowhere in game, got it
Still ignoring the glowing womb....

kek

This isn't an optimization. Switch 2 can run PNGs

It may launch on Switch 1 as well

I hope it's just the switch version then, the problem is they're likely all launching simultaneously this time

The glowing womb is an item. It births the creatures. Not the player character.
What the fuck? Even if the player was a girl like Hornet, the glowing womb wouldn't force them to constantly pop out babies. That's not what it fucking does.

I'm confused by this post, did TC pay them? Cherry spritz is a real product and only came to the market less than 2 months ago, otherwise is Axe just giving them free publicity because their social media team likes the game?

Anon just wants to fuck the knight is desperately coping that he's not gay

Prince of Persia, the latest one.

inb4 muh black protag

Who cares, the game is great

They did the same with the backgrounds in Hollow Knight on PC vs Switch.

They did?
I have played both versions and I never fucking ever noticed. Am I retarded?

It has denuvo tho, nobody has played it

They're just trying to ride off the hype surrounding Silksong to advertise their product

Hello fellow gamers we're also excited about Silksong, please buy our body spray!

It doesn't matter, if you entertain the idea in any regard, mossbag's retarded fanbase will show up and start bitching

That's what the enemy does

The white lady

right, yeah, that's true isn't it

You are reading way too much into a charm vs actual exposition
Is that not exactly how the story was supposed to be written? They wanted people looking into it like this

She has a pussy I've seen it

holy zazed

youtube.com/watch?v=RSnl_dkUl10
Granted it's been a while since I played hk but I don't notice a difference, anon is talking shit

This is going to ne Australia's greatest contribution to the arts since Mad Max.

Oh so you think the Knight is a male now
Fucking faggot
It's either a shadow blob or a shadow blob with a CUNT.
BOTH being able to give birth

He's right that looks noticeably blurrier
youtube.com/watch?v=78f0vER8498

Australia's greatest contribution to the arts

Not if our government has anything to say about it

The Switch 1 can run PNGs. Also the Switch version of Hollow Knight doesn't look anything like that.

No the knight is sexless which still makes you gay

Also the Switch version of Hollow Knight doesn't look anything like that.

I'll fucking sex you in a minute

THIS IS THE YEAR (FOR REAL THIS TIME)

Fucking FINALLY WE CAN GET HYPED.
Wait is it gonna get hit with tariffs because it's from Australia? How do tariffs work with digital goods?

How do tariffs work with digital goods?

Silksong will cost 400$ thanks to them and orange hitler will be publicly executed as a result

It's going to get hit with insane taxes from their own fucking government
I think the whole reason it's taken them so long is because they have been trying to get some legal loophole around them

The only loophole is to leave the cuntry

trips checked

why? most first world countries fund their game devs, even if it's the shittiest most retarded team on the planet.

why?

you cant just earn money and not give the government half of it, what are you greedy?

game is a bloated mess which runs out of steam like halfway through

decide to make the sequel over twice as long

why would they do this?

Aussie government hates the arts and especially video games they put any and all funding into sports or gambling

why would they do this?

They didn't make it for filtered plebs

Truth remains ignored on Anon Babble

because that's what people asked for

HK was already way too big for what it was
If they come out actually saying it's bigger I think I'll pass

six years

no fucking kidding.
They all want the Knight to be a heckin valid enbie when she can clearly become big, orange and bloated with hundreds of children

new crest

i REALLY hope they let you switch movesets in the middle of combat somehow. Like equip two-three and be able to swap across them

A few faggots were arguing that it has no actual hype right after the direct. And let's not forget the retardation surrounding the tortanic attempt with Doom Eternal.

Don't count on it

Nioh Silksong

switch stances mid combat depending on the enemy

would be kino, I'm guessing you'll just change it at benches though

Is the idea simply that the pale king can't have imparted any void from his side because he is divine?

There is no Void on his side, the Void comes from the Abyss, which in turn comes from the long dead kingdom before both Hallownest and the Moths.
I suppose PK could've put some Void into Hornet but then we're wondering why and also why PK would potentially fuck up his deal with Herrah.

And that herrah was but a beast and neither void nor god?

Well, she is called Herrah the Beast. But to also lend credence, there's a lore tablet in the Fungal Wastes "This border bounds the twisting, scratching things. Their dead sire, once of honoured caste. Their sealed mother, but the common beast."
It seems like whatever godlike or royal bugs that used to rule Deepnest have all died out, Herrah seems to have been Queen purely from marrying the last of them.

Probably won't be a day 1 switch 2 title though. Otherwise they would have just said so during the sizzle reel itself.

Just how long will it actually take to finish Silksong if its supposed to be a bigger game than Hollow Knight?

simple void before the knight unified it cant touch pale king. See the Radiance. During the fight whenever we hurt her enough for her halo to disappear, its the only time void is able to latch onto her. Herrah, as stated in one of the tablets was a fucking commoner spider. There’s a reason why she accepted the divine seed.

You know we can read the charm description right?

There is a lot more done to Vessels than just removing the soul. Also, Hornet was not at all "made like the night", she's a regular baby made with good old fashioned sex.

team cherry here
thanks for the money cunts
literally haven't even started working on it

Drains the SOUL of its bearer and uses it to birth hatchlings

Guess you're a female anon? Post tits?

There's no reason to believe she has anything to do with void. The pale king doesn't have any vode, he had to get it from somewhere else, Herrah doesn't have anything to do with void, she's a mortal queen. And there's no particular reason for Pale king to have shoved void inside her after the fact, she has nothing to do with any of the hollow knight buisness and literally was only born to get Herrah to cooperate. She also literally says she's not void. "That crucial emptiness, we do not share".

You actually haven't said a single argument or insult towards me. So I'm confused as to why you are responding?

bruh all the good bosses are in the post-game

Pack it up boys, it's bait

Given how charms worked in Hollow Knight I doubt it, Silksong seems to be doubling down on individual playstyles. It would be cool if switching was a late-game ability though.

game that literally gets better the longer it goes on and has a relatively weaker start

"runs out of steam halfway through"

what did he mean by this?

he means he didn't play to the end because of how boring the start was

so he cant say it runs out of steam halfway through, he didnt make it there

this game legit looks like something that it will take me 6 months with a team of ten people

but its made by three millionaires who only work on it when they feel like it, i.e. never

Only shown for a few seconds

Vague release date

Don't anything about it yourselves afterwards

Only store page that was updated was nintendo (only in japan tho)

What did they mean by this?

Ensured the hype lasts another 2 years at minimum, assuming it doesn't come out this year. I think its coming out this year, but that's beside the point.

Team Cherry is really going to milk that 6 seconds of footage for all its worth.

many people have died waiting for this game

me included

How's the afterlife?

Test

im not dead yet but i will be in about 6 months

imagine if the release date is actually december 31st.

It would be funny if Silksong came out and sold less than Hollow Knight.

Its over this game is vaporware

Who in the absolute fuck has ever said it won't sell well?

Anon Babble and adjacent circles, unironically

people who think it cant get hundreds of thousands of players

people who think it will get forgotten after a small period of time and that its not a big deal

Unironic people that is, baiters aside. Anon Babble anything is literally the only place where you will find people so negative towards this series

It's basically guaranteed to sell more with FOMO hype. Same thing with Elden Ring. Massively more people played it to "get in on the hype" which boosted it's sales. HK sold more gradually through word of mouth but that slow gradual interest also prevented it from ever really reaching "hype" status. Silksong has everything building up on it that when it comes out people are going to want to jump on the train even if they never even played the first one. That's how trends work.

This make shock you but making a game from scratch takes a lot longer than making an expansion or sequel using the game you made as a base.

After playing nin sols, i really dont care about silksong anymore.

fedoraposting needs to be brought back because holy shit my guy

it comes out people are going to want to jump on the train even if they never even played the first one. That's how trends work.

Sometimes normalfags baffle me. "Oh god im so excited for silksong!! i really need to play the first game for the first time to prepare for that!!"

i miss the days when i found HK as a barely known little game, in an era where there were more games, many things to find, and the general populace actually had real interest in games instead of just 10x the number of people filled with braindead consumerism. back then i never imagined i would feel empty seeing the average internet poster mention hollow knight. vidya discourse as a whole just got so much blander in the last couple of years

Retard

Normalfags just play Silksong then maybe play HK afterwards and then pretend they were always fans cause it's cool.

Why does it need to be 2.5x bigger than a game that was already too long and overstayed its welcome?

Why does it need to be 2.5x bigger than a game that was already too long and overstayed its welcome?

that was already too long and overstayed its welcome

It didn't.

such a bizarre thing to say when the reality is that the game starts out extremely slow and gets better the more you play
just gotta seethe over popular things i suppose

just gotta seethe over popular things i suppose

do you think hate about HK or Silksong on Anon Babble is actually rational?
You wont find a single person hating on HK's slow movement, lack of different weapons/movesets, or lack of colorful environments bring up how Silksong blatantly goes in the opposite direction. Its just pure unfiltered contrarianism
Almost everyone that knew about the game in here before it hit mainstream popularity was praising it

What said. It's the first half of HK that sucks and the latter half that hard carries. The only end game part of HK I don't like is the pantheons cause I suck and still can't beat the final one.

doesn’t get treated with hostility

”W-WHAT IS THIS!?! CALL ME A COCK SLURPING SHLOMO RIGHT THIS INSTANCE!!!

You will be eating those words when the game is a 10/10, best thing you've ever played™

Where's all this

silksong is that much bigger

Rhetoric coming from? They announced ages ago it'll have around the same amount of enemies as HK, and so far no indication of a much bigger map/enemy count. There's many things devs can add to a game than just map size, I assume it'll be same size as HK (again, they said the enemy count) just more densely designed, and overall quite polished, with lots of side content/playstyles.

Easy if you can beat the bosses first go and know where to go. Like genuinely easy, you have a lot of leeway

It's not good, it's mediocre

we're gonna get an Ender Lilies sequel before a Hollow Knight one at this rate

Or more realistically; Rune Fencer or Grime 2

How is it even possible to foster such a huge, autistic community from virtually nothing? It's borderline a cult, even Deltarune doesn't get as much press. Silksong has the same demand as an AAA game and it makes the genre's namesakes look sorry.
Asking because I want to make a game just as beloved. This game and Shovel Knight gave me dreams like no other.

How is it even possible to foster such a huge, autistic community from virtually nothing?

Just make a good game

Shovel Knight was such a pile of trash

Here's the secret, devanon. All you have to do is make a game that's fun and engaging.

That's literally it.

Just make a good game

All you have to do is make a game that's fun and engaging.

Well, duh I know that. But what if it doesn't stop at being a good game? Ironically, the Ori series receives higher critical press than Hollow Knight, but virtually there's no following for it.

It's good, cheap, replayable, memorable, and has end-game content that can take a while to get through. The game also had a lot of "content creators" that kept it alive far past what it should have
The music is also good

Hollow knight has a lot of intrigue as far as the world and story is concerned

the Ori series receives higher critical press

But nowhere near the same amount of players, which just goes to show you that the gaming press is fucking irrelevant

Acting like a smarmy dick head while not actually even addressing what other people even say is much more reminiscent of a fedora tipper than anything that anon said. Pot calling the fucking kettle back there.

HK is better than Ori

great art

great music

great boss design

decent lore

massive world

I'm not saying "RPGs aren't real games" I'm just saying platformers are MORE real. Depending on your taste UT/DR has fun characters and writing and music and atmosphere but HK has all that AND it's also fun to run around and jump and hit things.

critical press

dumbass

oh no a typo

im killing myself

not if i kill you first

IMAGINE THE SEX

Silksong does not and will never exist.
You will get Half Life 3 before Silksong sees the light of day.

its a bug or a spider

amazon position

Assuming it actually does release this year, guess the release date.

August. Why? don’t ask me, I quit trying to predict Team Cherry long ago

-Symphony of The Night
-La-Mulana (Both 1 and 2)
-Circle of the Moon
-Aria of Sorrow
-Metroid: Fusion, Super Metroid, Metroid: Zero Mission.
Basically the ones that defined the genre and the great ones that succeeded them.

I just started this game, anything I am supposed to know?

The ground after the miner girl crumbles but doesn't give way and there is a gate but I don't have a key. I got the map and compass, what am I supposed to buy from the shop?

The lantern is one of the most important items to buy but not right away. Go for some map related things first.

dont buy the simple key at the start you wont need it

As someone who really liked Hollow Knight on his first playthrough I can say that I wish Silksong didn't exist
Just thinking of Hollow Knight but larger gives me a headache
I did ALL of Hollow Knight I got all the charms, in it, it's bland I can't bring myself to replay it, it's too large and combat is too simple and there really isn't a lot of variety in your playstyle, it has pacing issues I don't mind the backtracking but it's such a drag that just making the same type of game but larger should not be a selling point
Production is cool and all but the game ultimately may be boring as shit considering it's the first metroidvania I don't want to replay at all

Great list except for CotM. Game's ok at BEST, even factoring the shitty nostalgia about playing it in a non-backlit GBA

Funny, it's by far my most replayed metroidvania. Over 100 hours, nothing else comes close

someone post the message ari and william sent via their shill guy please, it was real since the cake was also real

Do it anon it's fun, and much easier than what you've already done. You can even get away with dying during it. I think it was smart of them to make a cheevo like that, it encourages you to give the speedrun a try. Turns out I had a blast doing it and did it a few more times for kicks

Ok fair point, i always make a shot out to it thanks to the card list, honestly i think it's one of the first signs that designers could implement a ton of mechanics and still it wouldn't feel convoluted or useless.

you can see the curve of her asscheek

built for larvae-making sex

the combat is too simple, not enough playstyle variety

oh gee what do you think silksong has blatantly massively expanded on?
you falseflagging gaylord

October at the earliest

Reminder there are even more crests other than these.

Will we get crest-swapping or are they going to be treated like "weapons" you equip?

It’s the third crest for me

three screenshots of areas weve already seen has people going crazy on social media

this game is fucked lmao

Release Date: To be announced

this shit is never coming out

Time was spent making engine for hollow knight. It doesn't need to be repeated so you can do more with less time.

Their game is cheap, their game is extremely high quality and appealing, their game is huge and filled with stuff to talk about, and its genuinely a cooler, more passionate and well executed project than the rest of the genre
Its a game that a ton of people wanted presented in a super full, super cheap package

People ready to be proven wrong again and this exceeds expectations like a lot of games released this year?

Hopefully it meets my expectation of actually releasing this year.

i dont want to play as a girl, they're icky

this exceeds expectations by releasing this year

FTFY

exceeds expectations by releasing

ftfy

predict the complaints

backtracking

game too easy

map too big

too many items

secret area contains only lore

trapped in deepnest 2.0

That's a silly rationalization. They vould easily just give her the same collision box. She isn't that much bigger than the original character. No one would even notice or care.

Silksong is going to be too bard lmao

Also game is going to be too big despite most of it being optional

Because they already have the skeleton done, they just have to replace the content. Stupid nigger.

We're getting Ender Lilies 3 before Silksong

just started the original game, about 8 hours in; waiting 8 years to play was the correct choice I can't imagine anticipating a sequel for that long

>Silksong took 6 years to make

Anon...

I hope this is relatively easy to mod so I can add sex quests to the game where Hornet prostitutes herself out and gets pregnant.

Surely Silksong will be out before 2028/2029?

There was also an update to some of the Steam page meta data, swapping 2019 to 2025 from what I understand.

modding to trans pipeline

Sorry, I'm a man who just likes seeing pregnant women. Nothing more, nothing less.

Which video game will be the new clown once Silksong is released?

>backtracking

valid

>game too easy

valid

>map too big

not valid

>too many items

valid given the metroidvania context

>secret area contains only lore

valid

>trapped in deepnest 2.0

valid

What?

Haunted Chocolatier or

he's talking about highly expected vaporware

Many people were left like passersby while waiting for Silksong.

And it would be interesting to know what the next game will be that will leave fans like clowns waiting for it.

Oh god i completely forgot about this one.

theres a much bigger clown called TES6 but literally nobody gives a shit about it now, for obvious reasons

I dont think that counts anymore after people got completely disillusioned by pajeetfield

Or maybe going back to fantasy is what bethesda needs

The other Clown (although it is already masochism) would be Half Life 3

Reasons why The Elder Scrolls VI will be the new clown replacing Silksong?

What do you guys think is next for team cherry? Will they make another game or just bask in silksong indefinitely?
If i was them id be really wanting to finally release and then spend a *long* playing a fuckton of videogames

wanting to play videogames

freak

5 things

be good

Obvious point is obvious

be worth the money

Many people said being cheap helped and it did to spread awareness, but even if it wasnt it would have gone viral, just make a game that justifies the price

looks good

Humans are a visual creature, being aesthetically pleasing is the best way to get into people's minds. Helps a lot with first impressions too

be somewhat lengthy

There are exceptions to this (mostly old vidya), but if the game doesnt last more than 2 big sessions of playing its likely it wont stick to people's mind, i would say about 20 hours worth of content is usually the spot.

have an interesting or engaging story

Again, while there are exceptions, most cult-like fanbases tend to form when there is material to keep talking about after the game is done, thats the main purpose of the story

These are the 5 factors to make a rabid fanbase.

i was saying that theres already a bigger clown, but its not going to get memed like silksong
silksong is an unusual different case. how often do you get a game this big and impactful, a sequel so appealing and promising, and such a long and uncertain wait put together?

They're essentially even more set for life after silksong so who knows.
What I'd like is Nintendo contracting them to do either do a Zelda 2 game or Faxanadu.

Or I'll never get to play The Elder Scrolls VI
I must say it will take much longer than we might think or than we've been promised.

they hinted at this being the last time they'll work together, William retires and I imagine Ari will continue doing art and animation work.

They've trademarked the name "fearless fox". I'm excited to see what they do next. When Hollow Knight released they said they had the perfect idea for a Hollow Knight sequel they'd make "10 years from now". Of course they probably thought that'd be after they had made the hornet DLC and put out other projects by then, now it's been almost 10 years and the hornet DLC became a whole game that still isn't out so who knows

Reasons why Haunted Chocolatier will be the new clown game replacing Silksong?

Silksong hit a nice sweet spot. The wait is long enough to annoy the last patient but isn't actually that long in comparison to other examples. There's also just enough time between crumbs of news to where people haven't given up entirely.

provide proofs or this is fake and gay

Old = good New = bad

literal fake news

God, I'm so ready. Fingers crossed there wont be further delays

So, was the theory of them losing all their game code true?
There's no good reason for it to have taken this long.

Well, not really.

Sorry if you expected some grand reveal that I'm part of Team Cherry or associated with them in some way, I am not.

Even if I was, I would never reveal that information to the public. The amount of vulgar texts and some questionable decisions I made would definitely leave a bittersweet taste. Especially, after such a long time you had to endure silence.

However, If I was part of Team Cherry, I think I'd like to tell you, it was for the greater good. At least at the time. If we knew it would take so long, silence would not be our first option.

But at this point, we were silent for so long, breaking it now, so close to the finish line, would just ruin the mystique.

Maybe some of you disagree, and understandably so.

I hope that in the end it's gonna be something you will truly cherish, like we do.

Literal blood, sweat and tears went into making this, which by the looks of it, may be our last game we will work on together.

Years go by so fast, almost too fast. But one thing that stays young forever is art.

Art, good art, is timeless. And making it takes time and a lot of work.

Hollow Knight, for what is worth, was just a stepping stone in achieving our goal.

Some would argue we don't deserve our fanbase. And you are right.

The amount of love and support, even in such a doleful couple of years is truly extraordinary. You guys, are something we don't deserve. Thank you for still believing in us despite everything.

So, It's good to be back... is something I would say if I was part of Team Cherry.

The note in that picture with my username is clearly edited in, however, how did I get the photo, is probably something keen-eyed readers will start to question. Reverse image search didn't help, so now you are left to ponder, how.

Thankfully, my past and my "reputation" gives me a lot of leeway to blame this message and that photo to be just another "Silkpost".

Which is correct, this was written by me after all.

See you soon.

Super Metroid, Metroid Zero Mission, AM2R, Metroid Dread

what type of autism is this

realistically how much bigger wpjld you want silksong to be?

i wouldnt mind if it was like 20-40% bigger than HK+DLC

This is so gay I could instantly tell it was a reddit copypasta before the term silkpost confirmed it

I have no upper bound. The more game the better.

That video you linked is from later Dirtmouth that's more lit up though as the other houses opens up.

Exploration is my favorite part in most games, so I don't mind if it's HUEG

Ori 2 objectivelly

you have objectives in your pants

Convince me to even play the first one. I fucking hate the art. It’s like invader zim bullshit.

I can't think of much less interesting than a Hollow Knight game focusing on a female character especially Hornet. I hope this trash never comes out. 6 years for a cunt protag game. What a waste.

I am perfectly down for a huge game if it doesnt sacrifice individual quality, adds so much more freshness to the combat and cooler movement. So i genuinely think this 150-250% scenario we have is the coolest outcome
Specially because i feel non-linearity in progression is one of HK's strongest points, though it takes a while to really pick up. If Silksong is much bigger that means you really get to start carving your own path in the early game, and it will make huge world-crossing journeys like the instant deepnest->ancient basin combo feel so much deeper. But it does make me afraid of making the progression potentially not work as well, but it can be done
I am the biggest ori fan on earth, but 2 has so many flaws and letdowns that i cant possibly side with this

it has the coolest world in the genre
middle-lategame bosses are more dynamic than most of the genre without relying on any shallow defense like parryslop

I’ll probably give it another try at some point; just really find the art style unappealing and remember the gameplay being meh, but I didn’t make it super far either.

the game starts much slower with much more basic enemies
once you get to lategame bosses the higher fluidity of the moveset really comes into play

You’re asking for proofs in a thread full of schizoposting and bait? Bro, it’s Team Cherry, not the CIA—nobody's dropping classified documents here.

I'd rather it be way bigger rather than just a new game of the same length. Also I want the combat to be WAY more customizable. I don't get why people don't criticize how barebones and lacking it is. There's only like 2 ways to build your charm set ups by the end of it. Build for melee attacks or magic spam, that's it.

Steel soul run it then pussy. It really is an easy metroidvania so steel soul isn't that much of a challenge, but it will make you invested again. I beat my very first steel soul run easily after taking more than two years off not touching the game.

DELAY IT LONGER!

but 2 has so many flaws and letdowns that i cant possibly side with this

Such as?

this is me. I stopped HK once I realised I saw every single biome. Never been a boss rush kind of guy. The trials were fun.

sometimes i wish Anon Babble actually played and talked about games, so that i could find like some super secret underrated indie metroidvania gem that somebody has been keeping up with and noticed.

instead i get the most boring generic reccs here all with thoughtless fast travel like nine sols and the ender series. or la mulana which is barely a metroidvania, and even worse, a horribly designed game.

I either get relatively popular stuff that don't understand metroidvania. Or cult following stuff that people just hop on to feel different without being able to ground their affirmation of the game in any coherent way other than singular characterizing words like "it hard bro, it so hard and hardcore, aren't i epic for deepthroating le infamously hard game"

the only game which sort of succumbs to these two facets of metroidvania reccs that genuinely is so unique and exception in some ways that it could be an exception is...aeterna noctis. But it never gets talked about. And i think it's because it's one of the few games where despite having fast travel, i have seen reddit constantly complain about being lost or not knowing where to go. Now i personally have a problem with its world design inspite of that, but the typical fast travel = bad rule i have doesn't apply to it.

it's definitely not a coincidence that Anon Babble doesn't even talk about it me thinks.

Grime is pretty good too actually and Anon Babble doesn't talk about it, but i'm tired of one dimensional combat focused games. And i heard grimes platforming only ramps up towards the end, and i don't have the patience for that. That's effectively a flaw of game design as far as i'm concerned that an aspect of gameplay that could vary things is put off till the end.

And lastly i've been keeping my eye on something called void wrought which looks like a combination of crowsworn and hollow knight but reddit hates it and i don't trust reddit, which is why i sometimes wish you worthless retard losers actually played games.

We are so fucking back

miserably anemic bosses for the most part, compared to the potential of ori's moveset. also regrowing energy crystals are boring
weaker escape sequences. The exception was Sandworm, but it was overtuned on release, and they had the kneejerk reaction of nerfing it to the ground. so really it underuses oris' potential
healing skill is just a terrible addition for real combat. extremely boring and overpowered, extremely easy to perform, takes up a slot which is something you really should have had more of (more on that next), and basically trivializes any potential for challenge
only three skill slots without being able to quickly switch on the press of a button, specially with slots being taken by healing skill or gimmick skill (or requiring you to interrupt the game and swap)
the cut content actually hurts
the games' difficulty straight up does not hold up if you bother to gear yourself up and do side content/grab orbs along your way in the slightest, even in hardmode. and hardmode makes you have to grind for the final upgrades
too many superfluous elements in some of the systems (like outright shitty shards, or shards that are downgrades to others. pattern repeats itself in the devs' next game)
story has severe issues. The ending is kino but what leads up to it is weaker, ku was way too forced and predictable even compared to BF's naru plot, and "haha its ur destiny"

downgraded overly blurry backgrounds compared to pre-release, ridiculous depth of field that absolutely rapes the visuals in a huge chunk of the game. blind forests' backgrounds are crispier, more detailed and more charming overall (and without any area that stands out as relatively hideous like many of wotw's corners)

tldr : underuses the potential of ori's moveset in all fronts. Also too much sacrificed from cut content and blatantly having dev hell & graphics taking priority over game mechanics
it could have been dramatically improved if Catalyst was a core central mechanic for starters

Check out this game. I like it a lot, its made by the same developer as Baba Is You and Noita, but its far less popular than the others. It was the first game
It was the first time a games' graphics felt genuinely jarring to me at first, but over time they grew on me and there were some fantastic atmospheres. Super charming world

One of the biggest highlights is gradually realising theres a bigger picture than just the initial objective/ending of the game, you start picking up the pieces of the puzzle together and eventually go on a big puzzle/hunt across the whole map of the game to progress. Its not very documented which contributes to its sense of mystique. It is reasonably beatable without googling anything, but not as reliably as say, 100%ing Baba. Theres a bunch of things you might miss and require searching if youre unlucky, but i recommend trying to persevere for a bit

x.com/griffinmatta/status/1909395467945099502

pr dude didnt deny the 2025 date

cancellation not allowed

If you don't like the art, you won't like the game. The art is the only thing the game has going for it.

too many gay characters

So we can confirm now that the devs got fucked by a Nintendo adapter deal where they couldn't talk untill the switch 2 reveal, right?

shovel knight fucking sucked ass and I backed it

The best threads for talking about niche games are hidden gem threads during sales, at least in my experience. With how fast the board moves, it's almost impossible to dedicate a thread to a single unknown game without spamming. You'd probably have to make a thread dedicated to a genre, expecting the well known ones to get most of the attention, but it could be worth a try.
Could also just try and highjack a thread like this one, which wasn't made by a fanatic shitposter trying to spread his misery.

I always said it was a coincidence that genuine subhumanely stupid retards who thought the cake shit was legit, got the silksong "reveal" (no actual new information whatsoever) on the same day as switch 2 direct.

I have no idea what the fuck you're saying though

Yes and that’s why William went rogue agent and did the whole cake fiasco as retaliation

which wasn't made by a fanatic shitposter trying to spread his misery.

I am exactly this. Except a fanatic effort poster.

You'd probably have to make a thread dedicated to a genre

This doesn't usually work, threads these open allow any joe smow to just come in and project whatever they think metroidvania means or should mean, and Anon Babble CANNOT have a discussion so they never substantiate what they're saying in anyway that could meaningfully be engaged with or learned from. I talked about this more in-depth in the past about the banality and commonality of hollow knight threads and everything i said basically applies to Anon Babble in general and more specifically general, to metroidvania threads in general

Uhhh sure but it still BTFO's reddit knight simply because they grabbed the devs from Rayman origins to create one of the best platforming in the genre, Ori is fun while HK is a chore to play

got proven wrong

still assblasted over it to this day

kek
why are the reddit spacers always the whiniest these days?

If you want kino platforming, it peaks at Blind Forest. The tree escape, mount horu...
Not an obstacle in Will of the Wisps will ever be as fondly remembered as the White Palace from HK though

they grabbed the devs from Rayman origins

Yeah and they got so pissed off that they left the studio. Just like 70% the people who worked on Ori 1. And a similar high percentage of people who worked on Ori 2

I will cus I am a patriot

I wish Will of the Wisps doubled down on the platforming rather than shoehorning in more combat

my favorite part about Ori is the bash and you get that almost at the start in Ori 2 so i give it a slight edge, i just don't understand what anyone sees in HK, it has slow platforming, boring combat with no movesets, annoying mechanics like getting stunned when you fall from a high place or permanently losing your money, i've only played Ori and actual Metroid games but HK has to be one of the worst games i have played

Ori has shit exploration to the point, WotW should have been repurposed as a more linear game.

exploring in a 2D space is a meme unless you hide shit in plain sight like in Metroid, walking all the way to the left just to find a dead end like in HK is shit

threads these open allow any joe smow to just come in and project whatever they think

I mean isn't that true for every platform that allows open discussion? I do agree with the rest of your post through and the more popular a game, or really anything is, the harder it usually is to find in depth discussion.
Sadly I don't really know a better place, besides maybe smaller communities on different platforms, or even streams.
Can't really blame the games either, since it's not their fault that their popularity hogs the spotlight or drowns out deeper discussion, but I can understand a certain resentment.

Are you all ready for another decade of HK clones when this comes out?

This is the first thing that has caused me distress. I was convinced silksong would not be releasing on the switch. It's distressing that it will because the implication is that the game will be constrained by the switch.

more 2D beatemups where the player only has a single attack and the bosses have 5-10 attacks

grim, why don't zoomers like fun anymore?

What's a good metroidvania to play in preparation for Silksong?

I mean, if it was finished any point before say 8 or 9 months ago, not launching on switch 2 would be a reasonable option and they could have just released whenever they wanted. It's omly after the switch 2 direct was announce did tc have reason to make a switch 2 deal and then they were screwed.
And the fact it isn't dated means they probably aren't done yet and it wouldn't have been out by now, switch 2 or not.

the combat was a good concept and it has a lot of great qualities, it just had to make it better

i just don't understand what anyone sees in HK,

kino world with route variety. aka actual exploration and carving your own path
the enemies are so much better and more dynamic in middle-lategame, thats more valuable than a great moveset against snorefest fights like ori 2

but HK has to be one of the worst games i have played

cause you were filtered pleb

Not sure. I haven't tried Blasphemous 2, so I might give that one a whirl. The bossfights of the first game were kind of lackluster, but I did explore 100% of the map and really liked the art direction.

Ender Lilies is my favourite

If theres so many HK clones then why are we yet to see a map as good as Hallownest since HK came out?
Now people only make linear railroaded progressions without real exploration. I blame ds3 for this

Blasphemous 1 and 2
Ender Lillies and Magnolia
Environmental station alpha

silksong seems to have more variety so hopefully indieshitters get inspired by that

I genuinely hope there's a hidden charm/item that makes Hornet say her stupid phrases when she attacks.
No one in their right mind will use it but it would be funny at least.

Did you forget the old ass 2019 demo?
Hornet literally has a taunt button.

Sounds like a week one mod to me if there isn't

someone nobody talks about :
I think hornets' crawling backdash might end up being cool as hell. I hope i can use it to duck under a lot of attacks while approaching enemies

Threadly reminder that a kid who died from cancer is a boss in this game

Did you forget the old ass 2019 demo?

Yeah

i imagined the pizza tower taunt and she just strikes a stupid pose with an unfitting sound over top

I mean isn't that true for every platform that allows open discussion?

Yes. We are so cooked. I have been trying to overcome this ever since the covid era. Maybe it's because i started using the internet far more during that time but that's when it really feels like it became impossible to talk about anything.>Can't really blame the games either, since it's not their fault that their popularity hogs the spotlight or drowns out deeper discussion, but I can understand a certain resentment.
I agree completely in fact this is the EXACT problem with Hollow Knight there are only two ways to talk about hollow knight on Anon Babble and only one way on reddit.

On Anon Babble you either cry victim about how much Anon Babbletards hate the game and shallowly dicksuck it and pretend as if it is quite literally the greatest thing to ever grace indie games. Or you endlessly anti jerk it and give the most superficial arbitrary criticism that often times ends up being "Hollow Knight isn't exactly like Super Metroid so it's bad" the reason why they say this is so that the fact that they also complain about backtracking and dead ends, doesn't imply the obvious facts that they just don't like metroidvanias...that play like actual metroidvanias. Which would immensely explain the Anon Babble obsession with Nine Sols and Ender Lillies/Magnolia (also Symphony of the Night).

My opinion is that Hollow Knight is a top 3 game for me that i no longer see as perfect, and with disastrous flaws that is saved by the fact that the aspect in which is flawed is not the moment to moment recurring aspect of the game, whereas the aspect it excels at is.

I'll give you a hint of what i'm talking about. The game is the most boring and flawed towards the very end of the game where you've finished most levels and are just going around finishing up collectible and side quest shit.

Funnily Hollow Knight is one of the few games i even got close to 100% completion...EVER. And i finished the game at 99%.

Nine Sols
The Ori games

Will his fight be peak?

The void is the dark juju juice in the pale king's basement, it's there because the pale king specifically chose to build his house right on top of it, not because he shits void and the abyss is his septic tank or something. He infused his children with void, which hollowed them out from the inside so he could have a void vessel that could handle imprisoning the radiance, that's why he did the whole throwing a million kids into a battle royale thing, because he needed the strongest possible vessel. Hornet is not a vessel, she was never meant to be a vessel, she's payment for the spider queen's services so she never got any void infusions, at all.

but monster hunter wilds took more than 3 years

monster hunter releases a new game almost every year

based ESA enjoyer

Probably my favorite game of all time, and it's nice to see someone else appreciating it.

No idea what your issue with percentages is
