it isnt out yet

its unplayable. fucking stutters every action i make and i have a 1070.

Waiting for all the patches and DLC to be out. Not making the same mistake like I did with Shovel Knight where there's now like three more campaigns since launch.

>indieshit

>>376228929
I have a 1070 as well and it ran smooth as butter. The only slight hiccup occurred at the Colosseum part 3.

>>376228383
Indeed i have.

I'd like the stutters to be fucking fixed though. I had no problem during all the game, and as soon as i went to complete it 100% I came accross some of the dumbest bullshit of freeze you could imagine.

>>376228929
I have a 970 and it's perfect, fix your OS fag.

>>376228383
Yes. P5 was really good. Sucks that we'll have to wait years for P6.

Yes, I played Gravity Rush 2. Hollow Knight is good too though, happy to see they seem to be up at 100k copies sold now and I hope the Switch release does well.

Best metroidvania ive ever played desu

>>376229604
I hope so, but they've already trademarked a bunch of P5 titles that are probably gonna be spin-offs. Hopefully there's 2 teams (1 working on spin-offs and the other on P6) so it releases more quickly.

it's beautiful, I'm in the city of tears and enjoying it so far

but good god is it poorly optimized

>>376228929
I have a 760 and it ran fine for me, your CPU or something must be bottlenecking you.

Also yeah, Hollow Knight's a solid 8 or 9 out of 10, one of my most enjoyable games to come out in a long time.

>>376228929
Have you played it recently? It's been patched to hell and back.

>>376229040
I've actually enjoyed the delay in content for SK, gives me a reason to go back to it.

>>376228929

Works on my machine :^)

But seriously, it runs quite smoothly, and I have an asus craptop with a 850m. Load times are long though, at least the first time I enter a new area. I guess I can blame the particle effects: the game is way too much loaded with them

>>376229629
Don't read this if you haven't played the game and intend to, exploring the map and finding shit on your own is much more enjoyable if you don't know where you're going.

>>376229708
Upgrade your toaster.

The game is really fucking restrictive with amount of notches.
Not like it's even that hard, i would appreciate allowing more creative freedom. Overcharm is fucking unusable and is never worth it.

>>376229994
Some people are probably still playing outdated pirated GoG versions. Which is kinda funny since these issues have been patched for months.

>>376229936

I doubt that a lot too, but I really wouldn't mind if it got delayed to 2018. As long as it lives up to and surpasses Xenoblade then I'm pretty ok.

>>376230291
Pretty much, to be fair the game does ape the souls style a little too hard, but it makes sense considering the setting is within a decaying kingdom.

Hollow Knight is easily among the top 10 games I've ever played. Surprised it's not more popular, specially here.

>>376231323
Too many jaded cucks. Perfect example right over here >>376231310

>>376231323
it's your typical Metroidvania. I'm surprised YOU're surprised. It got more attention than it deserves.

I'm playing it right now. I'm not sure if i missed something, or am I supposed to not have a map after the first two. Thanks to my stupidity I went to the city and I can't backtrack right now anyway. I'm fucking retarded.

>>376231054
>setting is a collapsing Kingdom with a melancholy feeling
>NPCs wander and have quests you can help them complete
>story has vauge elements that are only hinted at

I mean, it's definitely souls inspired, but it also has stronger Megaman X and Metroid elements too.

>>376231562
It's easily one of the best Metroidvanias. Like if you're into the genre you should check this game out.

>>376231562
You understand this game is a gem, right? It's not just your typical metroidvania. You would understand if you finished it.

In almost every area you have to find Cornifer so you can buy a map off him. If you miss him and press on you'll find the map sold at his shop later in Dirtmouth.

>>376228383
Yes, it's called Persona 5.

in all seriousness, Hollow Knight is fantastic other than the White Palace, which feels like beating myself with a brick every time I try to push through those stupid saw blades to get the true ending.

>>376231739
I actually did, except for the mushroom ending. I just hate when indie games get overrated, it ruins the community. I still think it deserves to be in the top 10 list, but that`s mostly because this year is quite lacking in contenders so far.

>>376230335
>look at me, im a contrarian. Am i cool yet guys?

>>376232475
Get the Hiveblood charm, it's really hard otherwise. Also remember you can cheat by bouncing on things, depending on where you are in the level it can win you lots of time.

When is this coming to the Switch? I want to play it on Switch.

>>376232093
>no game should require you to finish it to see how good it is
You're right, I saw how good it was when I was actually playing it rather than shitposting about it on 4chan.

>>376232159
Why no Rainworld?

>>376233016
Didn't know it was one, haven't played it yet.

>>376232159
Where the FUCK is Order of Ecclesia and why isn't it in God tier?

>>376233049
I recommend it. Although it has some controls issues. Still an excellent game with beautiful style.

>>376233072
I didn't bother including Shit Tier in the list. It's also not a metroidvania.

Really good game, not without flaws:

+ Great art and sound design. No 8bit sprites and chiptune indie meme
+ Cheap as shit. 40 hours of content for $15 on release, without counting autist stuff like achievements or permadeath mode
+ Dark Souls with bugs. Largely succeeds as being as immersive with its own identity, more than I can say about Salt and Sanctuary
+ Competent metroidvania and platforming. Exploring is rewarding.

- Too easy. You'll rarely be challenged except for a few parts
- Forgettable bosses for the most part
- Combat is serviceable but a bit too simple
- Dark Souls with bugs. If you think DaS is pretentious garbage or a game being too heavily inspired by it makes you cringe, then this is a con.

>>376233248
You already said that, memelord.

>>376233148
>I didn't play past the first few minutes

>>376233301
>- Combat is serviceable but a bit too simple
I'd disagree with this one, I think it's just where it needs to be.
I can't really find anything I would really want added. Different weapons maybe ?

Waiting for Switch.

>>376233301
>- Combat is serviceable but a bit too simple
This and no fast travel to ancient basin are my 2 main complaints about this game.
The lack of chargeable up and down moves and the fact that charge slash and dash slash felt mostly the same is something I would want changed.

It's pretty fun. My only qualm with it was the stuttering early on in it's release and the shitty map layout. Seriously no thought to making it.

Deepnest is one of the few areas in the game I felt genuinely unsafe. those little assholes popping out of the ground at random fuck you up if you aren't observant.

>>376234140
I don't know why they did the path blocking. Seeing the first area overrun with the plague was cool but that just seems like a shit move. It's not like they use the blockades to enforce challenge either.

Sutando Powah

>game freezes every time you get hit
Is this a feature or have they fixed it? Because it's what made me stop playing the game completely.

>>376234514
>sound
What sound, shit might as well just be sound effects with no music

>>376234558
Are you talking about the slight freezeframe after you get hit? The one accompanied by the sound muffling and screen darkening?
I am fairly sure that that is intentional and to let you orient yourself

>>376231709
All of those things have existed before dark souls.

>>376234642
The game's music isn't too strong, but it pretty decently lets you know what events are happening by the sounds that play. Anything you can be clued into visually usually also has a sound to go with it.

>>376228383
Not yet, the art style puts me off

>>376234673
Maybe I'm too autistic to play it then. I felt nothing but bloodboiling rage every time it happened because it looks and feels like the fame is just locking up, especially when it does it when the game THINKS you're about to get hit but you end up dodging it.

>>376233016
To be fair Rain World is not entirely metroidvania. There are no upgrades (well, except that one gloving thing), no locked zones (you can go wherever you want, but some zones are much harder) and so on.

Still excellent game though.

>>376234842
>especially when it does it when the game THINKS you're about to get hit but you end up dodging it.

Wait, does the game actually do this? I can't recall having experienced this personally (though maybe I am just shit at dodging)

>>376228383
I got all the endings and beat the game with like, 91%. The only stuff I had left to do was find like, 3-4 pins and the rest of the worm babies which I'm not going to bother to do. Is there a reward for 100%ing the game?

>>376228383
The game was great.
I'm glad I looked up on the internet about alternative endings. If the last fight for me were to be only the Hollow Knight, I would be very disappointed.

>>376234967
It happened to me a couple times. I don't know if it's a bug or somehow an intentional effect or what.

>>376234642
The music is subdued, which fits into the theme and setting (dilapidated, cursed kingdom teeming with life beneath the surface)

C is average and just calling it middle of the road would have been a disservice when every one of the 100+ enemies and various NPCs have their own audio cues.

I relented with B for audio and visual

The real strength is the gameplay, with a solid difficulty, tons of enemies, memorable bosses, and a HUGE amount of gameworld to travel through with secrets everywhere.

>>376228383
Yeah Persona 5 is great.

>>376234973
Steam acheivement and anything that comes with completing the various tasks involved with getting the 100% (the grubs give you a pin that's pretty good)

You get a map that shows you where all the grubs are. Did you find it?

>>376235079
once you stop shilling senpai

>>376234642
The sound effects are great and there are some memorable tracks imo. City of Tears and Kingdom's Edge are the most notable.

>>376234850
Pretty sure that large maps that can be explored non-linearly is a bigger requirement for being a Metroidvania than abundance upgrades, specially if upgrades limit your exploration too much. I gotta check it out myself tho.
>>376235108
The game pretty much hints you that 'there's another way'. Except the Mr Mushroom ending.

>>376235130
>memorable bosses
Not really, if anything the bosses are the least memorable thing about the game aside from the literal shit bug

>>376235225
I did but it's not worth all the backtracking if the reward is just a pin. I'd rather just move onto a different game than rubbing my face against rooms I've been in plenty of times over because I missed a hidden wall or something, you know?

>>376235375
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnX624zq150

Resting grounds is top notch as well

>>376235442
This, other than Hornet, Soul Master, Lost Kin and the final bosses everyone else are literal whos

>>376235565
I feel you. Though, to mention, getting all the pins has it's own reward, salubra blesses you for havign all the pins, which gives you free refilling soul at any savepoint. up to you though. I ended up just lookin up how to get the last few grubs , I personally felt I was close enough to 100% that not getting it would be silly, but I can understand not caring enough, you can beat the game and get the best ending without it as long as you get the kingsoul/void charm

>>376235432
>The game pretty much hints you that 'there's another way'
You are right, but I wasn't not patient and invested enough to figure out riddles in plot/dialogue to figure out a specific way to trigger the radiance ending.

>>376235761
That blessing is cancerous as shit but collecting them all is worth it just to see what happens after you return there

>>376235442
Mantis Lords, Dung Defender, Lost Kin, Uumuu, Soul Master, and Nosk (although in Nosk's case it's more for the lead up to it rather than the fight itself) are all personally memorable I'd say.

Put the penis in the Hornet.

Telltale sign of piracy. Retail versions got optimization patches about a week or two afterward that fixed the poor open release.

>>376235442
I honestly thought fighting the bosses was the game's greatest strength.

Waiting for the Switch version unless there's a sale on PSN.

One complaint I have about bosses is how they go from pretty tough to almost a joke from figuring out the one thing that trips them up

Like lost kin dies like a bitch to the spin slash
radiance is hard countered by that pin that lets you head twice and bouncing on his head

At first I was dreading the radiance fight because I heard it was harder than the dream bosses, and those gave me a lot of shit, but in retrospect, I wish it was a longer fight.

the post fight beatdown session was great though

>>376229040
You didn't make a mistake with Shovel Knight, because the game's price has now increased. You get those campaigns for free where as everyone who purchases the game way later has to cough up an extra $10.

The shit art style put me off from buying this.
