Has it been forgotten already?
>>
>>378884729
just because it's not talked about as much doesn't mean it's forgotten

just wait for the DLC
>>
I suppose that answers my question.
>>
What's there to talk about? Most people finished it already and discussed all story implications to death.

I'm gonna replay it, because my PC died and I never got to finish it. Didn't bother saving my save because I killed a couple of ghosts and felt bad about it.

The actual gravedigger is an ordinary ghost. Only the dead warriors and the Glade of Hope ghosts are backers.

Thank you, Dark Souls.

Yeah, I was talking about the Glade of Hope. And you need to absorb most of the ghost warriors for the true ending anyway.

It gets especially good when the game opens up and you can go anywhere you want. It's like Breath of the Wild, where you're stuck in tutorial hell, and then you get set free and aren't told what to do next.

Hope you can handle the responsibility of finding your own fun.

tbqh, I thought the game peaked at Soul Sanctum. Everything goes downhill after you kill your first Dreamer.

Not really. I think the hunt for the Dreamers is the best part of the game, because everything is so open. The only one I'm disappointed in is the one in Deep Nest, since there is no boss fight before it.

>>378888251
>>378888426
White Palace was the worst balanced part of the game. Not because it was bad, but because the whole game has pretty lax platforming sections and in WP you finally need to do proper platforming with good reflexes and it throws you off. It only took one hour or so, but boy was it frustrating.

Of course not. The game managed to go from "This game /v/ mentioned on release date that I'm gonna give a chance because I'm bored as fuck" to one of my top games of all time, if not the one at the top.

It makes me sad that games like Undertale, which I liked but not loved, had so much coverage and exploded so hard in popularity while a game ten times as good still is relatively obscure.

Not intending to be contrarion bait, but I seriously don't understand the hype for this game.

Its a serviceable Metroidvania. So serviceable that it became a chore about half way through.

Go to atmospheric nature area ad nasuem. Combats fine. The open world is okay. Got your typical cast of quirky souls like characters.

After a couple hours of this, I couldn't think of a reason to continue. There is no sense of urgency or purpose. And since the game doesn't offer any sort of exceptional or novel mechanic, shit got stale quick.

Well it's an explorative game that rewards platforming, and doesn't lay out the story for you.

The main difference is Hollow Knight very much emulates Metroid and Castlevania, where La Mulana is from well before them, where games had to be hard as BALLS and obtuse as fuck because they needed take a long time to feel worth it.

Old games are typically harder because
A) Old games needed to pad their playtime by having you die a lot, because data space was extremely limited
B) Old games were mostly beta tested by the game coders/developers. The people who make the games are going to be very good at them, and tended to tune the game to what felt like a good difficulty to them.
>>
>>378892706
>Go to atmospheric nature area ad nasuem
I don't get this complaint. Metroidvanias thrive on creating environments that make you feel isolated to some degree. How are you supposed to do that without atmospheric areas?

It's all in the atmosphere. The same thing happened with Inside. Awful game by almost any metric, but it earned 10/10s across the board.

Whenever you have trouble understanding why gamers like what they like, remember that they have no taste or ability to think critically, and so they latch onto the only thing they can mentally grasp: atmosphere.

I feel bad that I never beat this game.
I can technically beat it now, but I want to 100% it, and I'm stuck on the Grey Mourner's quest.
And now they made it so you can't alt tab after saving on benches because the game now saves right when the flower breaks.
This feels like such a huge difficulty spike compared to the rest of the game, and I'm not sure if i'll ever be able to do this sidequest. I made it to Fog Canyon at best.
Guess i'm not good enough.

>>378893375

Is there a number greater than infinity?

>>378893423
Clear out the path you are going to take beforehand and don't save at all on the way back in order to prevent most respawns.

>>378892971
I guess, but we still don't know what Hollow Knight thinks of all of it. He could, for all we know, have the intelligence of a cat. He's not actually hunting to help people, he's just doing it because he likes killed small things.
>>
>>378893605
>>378893540
I didn't realize you could do this, because I thought the game resets enemies once you go to a new zone (like going from Fog Canyon to Forgotten Crossroads). But I guess the game doesn't work like that and does indeed save enemies gone until you sit regardless of where you are. Thanks.
I feel bad for not saving before my first try and never saving again, now the Grey Mourner has no faith in me

The thing with Hollow Knight is that there aren't enough hot characters to make porn of, it isn't multiplayer, and the story is a huge downer, so there really isn't much keeping people there.

Hollow Knight is my 2nd favorite game this year, but it doesn't have enough staying power, so its fine just getting sporadic threads.

That's where you're wrong, my dude.

When does this get good? I just started the game and jumped into the well but I don't get why you praise this game so much.

Not shitposting, legitimately asking when does this get good and in what way?

Isn't Hornet explicitly named the Gendered Child because she's not fully a creature of the void?

It takes about an hour to beat the first boss, and then the game is done with the tutorial. If you're speed running it, it gets good about 20 or so minutes in, but I'm just factoring in the deaths and the wandering around.

>>378897148
Ask yourself, do you like Metroidvanias? If the answer is no, you're going for a dense adventure. If yes, you'll figure it out at your own pace. For me, I liked from the beginning, for other people it was when they found the City of Tears

I assumed it was because she was part void and part bug, since she was the daughter of one of the Dreamers. I wonder if the Pale King or the Void are her father

Waiting for the fucking switch version. There's been like a dozen god tier indies announced for the switch but no word on any of them.

Would rather have it on the Switch. The idea of this and a full library of indies on a single microsd on a portable form factor makes my dick hard.

I'm pretty sure the Pale King is specifically referred to as her father via his "Dalliances." Maybe he cums voidjuice.

sell the switch, get a 150 dollar windows tablet and spend the rest on every worthwhile indie and a fancy bluetooth controller.
Cheap tablets are getting strong enough to run gamecube emulators, just do it.

Why the fuck wouldn't it be forgotten? Game has no online, no replayability, doesn't introduce anything new, doesn't do anything particularly well. It's a mediocre little title, you finish it and move on.

You'll be reminded of it when the supa kawaii little bug protagonist makes cameos in dozens of new indie games together with shovel knight and hyper light drifter and super meat boy and whatever the new meme indie characters are.
>>
>>378898230
>Maybe he cums voidjuice.

That's kind of hot.

Seriously speaking, my theory is that the King actually got Herrah "pregnant" and then spliced Hornet's egg with the void.

>just jumped into the well
well you only did the tutorial

Game's easily an 8/10 if you want to get your fix of Metroidvania and heavily Dark Souls-inspired shit

+ looks fucking goodfor an indie title. No "pixel art" bullshit
+ great OST and sound design (great Rare-speech)
+ big-ass map to explore. Easily 40 hours of actual content not including autistic shit like achievements or permadeath mode. Dirt cheap since day 1, too
+ pretty good controls and platforming. Nothing amazing but feels right
+ Captures what made Dark Souls' exploration good: vague lore told through a bunch of descriptions and scarce but memorable characters. The wonder of exploring an interesting kingdom that's gone to shit.
+ Can be "comfy"

- a tad too easy for my taste. Barring a few bumps on the road you won't find many challenges
- combat is fun but a bit too limited. Kinda like Shovel Knight's
- bosses aren't that great. There are a few cool ones, but you'll curbstomp most of them and soon forget them
- While it's its own thing, you might sperg a bit about how much this game draws from Dark Souls depending on your autism levels. You might not like it if you're a contrarian that dislikes Souls games. About a million times more enjoyable than Salt and Sanctuary, though.
- Some hiccups. Probably patched by now

It's one of the hardest games this year
>>
>>378899708
That's not really saying much. Only a handful of totally optional encounters are difficult.
>>
>>378899708
It was easy enough for me.
Not to say that it didn't have good, challenging moments but it wasn't exactly breaking my back over it.
I didn't die once at the white palace.
>>
>>378899243
>bosses aren't that great

One of its worst flaws, honestly. The fact that the Hunter wasn't a boss was a huge misstep, too.
>>
>>378899620
No, I think him fucking Herrah and corrupting Hornet with void is hot. Corruption is my jam.
>>
>>378899708
Lost Kin and Hornet 2 are the only bosses I had problems with. White Palace is the only hard platforming.
And yeah, this year hasn't had much in terms of difficulty
>>
>>378900215
All of the dream bosses are hard.

No. And Soul Tyrant is only moderately challenging.

It was such a surprise for me. I got the demo for it in one of the Humble Monthly things I think, and I didn't really care for it. I pirated it desu, and I got hooked. Bought it immediately, and it's easily my GOTY. Even with all the games that have impressed me so far this year, Hollow Knight was one that was not only a surprise but just such a solid game, fantastic from beginning to end it's rare for me to completely delve into a game like I did with this.
>>
>>378900215
Those are the two easiest bosses in the game, what the fuck are you smoking.

I think the most disappointing part was that none of the Dreamers are bosses in their dreams, which is uttery anti-climatic

>>378901413
I forgive Deepnest for being "that part" of the game because it was refreshing to feel some tension in this game. Also those fucking parasitic bugs were really creepy.

I'd say the Royal Waterways are good tier, because there's a bunch of stuff to see there. The Hive would've been great tier if it had had a boss battle within. It was quite disappointing.
>>
>>378901007
I just told you about a gamecube emulator. Would you rather have limited access to 30 year old games for a monthy fee or would you rather have all that for free and more? There's also plenty of bluetooth controllers that clip or resize to your tablet.
There is literally no reason to have a switch in 2017.

Are you all mentally challenged? How the fuck can you take more than 30 min to complete White Palace? Is this a meme? Its basic level platforming
>>
>>378907184
It's a huge difficulty spike that can leave some unprepared. Kind of like how the Grey Mourner quest is until you figure out how monster spawns work.
>>
>>378907184
Because the platforming is much harder there compared to any other zone in the entire game.
>>
>>378907259

>untill you figure out how monster spawns work

what ? it's easy the regular way
>>
>>378907184
Some people are just pretty bad at platforming. Given this is not a platforming super challenge game, a lot of those people were playing this game.

I don't blame them. I myself am very bad at almost all other parts of the game, so...
>>
>>378884729
Clearly not, given you can post an image of the game without any name and get a 200+ post thread.

Which is good. The game's one of the best metroidvanias in a long while. It's very basic, though. It's sort of like that Bruce Lee quote about basic punching a gorillion times.
>>378907939
If you go through and kill shit and then die and then don't sit at a bench all the enemies will be dead, I think is what he's referencing. Which I guess takes a modicum of trial and error.

Same.

I thought it was gonna be my GotY, but then I played Rain World...Holy fuck is that game underrated.

it is. almost not proper artwork which is sad
personally i would have them in the same rank more or less but for different reasons
>>
>>378909152
Yeah, I'd agree. Rain World just edges over Hollow Knight because its gameplay and story match together so damn well also because HK's soulslike wording got a bit grating.
>>
>>378909152
>>378909439
I've seen some gameplay of Rain World and it looks interesting. Is it really better than HK?

it is a shame really. i will admit, Rainworld managed to made a better identity of itself better than HK.

also if i recall, Rainworld was in development for about six years or something like that, it shows with its pristine and complex art which i adore
>>378909847
different games, rainworld is more or less a survival metroidvania, there is little moments of respite compared to HK

It is a tough game and not exactly user friendly at the start but it is worth it
>>
>>378909847
Yes. It's like a delivery tube of emotion straight to your stomach. You really do feel like a puny thing in a vast world which will eat you as soon as it catches you -- but first it must catch you.

The gameplay is also full of tonnes of secrets which I've...mostly managed to not spoil for myself. But even basic stuff like flowers which attract flies you have to use your own observation to figure out.

It depends on whether you're fighting the optional bosses, and at what upgrade-level.
