HollowKnight is in the same boat as Titanfall sadly, both good games fucked over eith shitty release dates. Although HollowKnight never really marketed itself out there that much, and "shilling" on /v/ doesn't really count considering most niggers on this site don't play games.

The primary review on the Steam articles list for it was a Rock Paper Shotgun that was entirely unfounded in it's critique and spent most of the time talking about Ori and the Blind Forest instead. Gaming 'Journalism' failed this game immensely in their incompetence. I dare say that's part of the reason it isn't as popular as it should be. Honestly one of my favorite games.
>>
>>381134056
It's just boring to be honest.

go to place, kill a boss, get an ability that gets you to next place, repeat.

and before someone says
>so just like every metroidvania ever?

my response is
>yes

It has very linear progression too and in general doesn't feel original in any other way than artstyle. It's a very "meh" game

I plan on buying it soon in the summer sale. I pirated it to try it out months ago and it was dank AF. But Im a poor bastard too so I hope the game is about 10 bucks or 12 in the sale.

Its not too hard, just use the fragile charms and be careful, there are really safe routes if you take your time and you can get 2 nail upgrades before you even fight dung defender if you want to. I loved the game though 10/10, 96hours and 100%

I can only do linework and flat colors.

You couldn't be more wrong. After you beat the third boss you have to explore absolutely everywhere to advance the story.
The biggest problem with the game is that you have to do a fuckload of backtracking, and the fast travel stations have wierd locations.

They should have gone Dark Sould mode : fewer benches, allow fast travel between benches.

>I never played the game: the post

You can get several upgrades without fighting bosses. You can access maps without certain upgrades (if you buy the lamp, you can access Crystal Peak from the beginning of the game without a mid-game ability), you can access maps without figthing bosses (Mantis Lords for example)

Combat too simple for the diehard MV fans. Not enough fat lips and huge noses for the tumblr crowd. It's what Salt and Sanctuary wishes it was though. Great game with a lovely atmosphere.

Obviously the invidual map screens aren't linear, but that doesn't mean fucking anything. When talking about "linear" progression in a metroidvania, people usually mean branching paths to clearly thematically different areas, something that wasn't in Hollow Knight.

I did play the game for something like 5 hours and the progression as far as i can remember was basic grey cave -> jungle area -> mushroom/filth area. Hooray, what did i miss? Could I have completed these in different order?

I loved the artstyle
Then I went to play it and only found vague bullshit that wants too hard to be Souls but doesn't even slightly accomplishes anything.
I wandered blindly through samey looking rooms until I found a boss that defended every attack I threw at him.
Then I went some other place and found a rock thing blocking my only possible path.
Then I finally found a town thing and the only NPC there spoke nonsense and disappeared right after.

Then I fucking quit this piece of shit that basically requires me to follow a guide because it's so 2deep4u and mysterious that it won't ever tell me where to fucking go or what to do, only throw random babbling NPCs that don't even try to make sense while screaming AM I SOULS YET

It's not, I don't consider it a metroidvania, and there's no shit tier.

Hey don't blame me OP, literally sitting here waiting for the god damned thing. I was nearly tempted to just give up and grab it on Steam a few times, but I really want to be able to play it on the go and while laying in bed, watching TV.

Which is exactly what you got. Fungus, jungle, caves, weird bubble zone and spookville are all available from that point. If you had bothered to actually make progress in the fungus you had access to you'd have access to even more, just about the entire game even.

The only major problem mechanically is there's a big ability deadzone because the crystal dash is mostly gimmicky, but then if you want to get that nitpicky the majority of upgrades in SM are useless too and are just arbitrary locks for certain areas.

The way the combat + basic attacks work is already unique, the basic attack is also movement ability and parry all in one.

The bigger flaws with the game overall are level layout, but you need to take some risks if you want a game to be truly nonlinear.

That might be the only PROBLEM mechanically, but there's nothing exciting about it either. You only get a few core abilities across the whole game, and they're quite spread out. What really hurts it though is that we've seen them all before. It's really a mechanically boring game.

I'm the original guy, though I lack proof since I forgot all my tripcodes and lost the old files when wiping the HDD so I can't prove it, and I don't blame you. That's part of the reason I stopped continuing it, I couldn't stand to play every single dime-a-dozen metroidvania out there just to precursor how much each game deserved to be on there and how I would judge the polls to place the games in a spot they would both deserve and people would agree on. Because of how much I was binging the genre, though, I started to notice how derivative and repetitive a lot of the indie ones are, and I couldn't stand to keep working on it when so many people liked these games when, honestly, they probably didn't even play 10 of the games already on the list.

At the time I was satisfied with how the list has shaped and changed with time but I still think it could use a little bit more improving, I would say I'd take up the torch and do a re-polling but due to the nature of this board and the influx of new users of the last couple years I think the image would look completely different from how it started.

Also, making this list retroactively made me dislike Hollow Knight. I genuinely couldn't get into it. I hear it gets better after a while but the beginning of the game is just so boring, stale, bland, unfocused, and repetitive that the only bit of enjoyment I got was how I kept getting lost. Not to mention finding items and shit isn't half as rewarding as it is in other games. The challenges to find an item are often mismatched, where the good shit is found by doing easy things and the shit shit is found by doing hard things, making harder challenges less satisfying. Overall, I'm sure it becomes amazing at some point, but I wouldn't be surprised if people mostly hated it for the first couple hours.
>>
>>381143473
The game is a pretty complete kit and caboodle for a $15 kick started indie. The only confirmed DLC will be playing as one of the other characters, and given the size and style of the game, it's more appropriate to think of that as an expansion

I agree about how derivative and tiresome the genre can be, I don't blame you for that.

You never polled La-mulana because you knew that nobody would put it in elder-god-tier.

Because everything else was legitimate, everyone assumed la-mulana's placing was legitimate too.

So how hard is this game and how little does it value the player's time?

I'm interested but fuck it if it's going to be another one of those games where you have to replay the same five-minute trek/fight over and over again because putting a checkpoint right before the boss or particularly difficult section is just too casual and not allowed.

As some kind of reference I managed to beat all three Dark Souls solo with great difficulty (the hardest bosses took me a few hours each) as well as SotN, Super Metroid and Cave Story, but gave up on games like La-Mulana and Super Meat Boy.

This is the average HKfag

Let's be honest here, does ANYONE who likes Hollow Knight really like Metroidvanias?

It's so derivative and bland that anyone who's played multiple metroidvanias would get bored quickly, but someone who's never played a metroidvania before would love it because they have no experience.

People who put SotN, La-mulana, Super, and Hollow Knight on the same level have only played those games and no other metroidvania. Someone who plays metroidvanias all over, they would keep HK away from SotN/La-mulana/Super.

Competent pixel games can take a lot of work, too. Shovel Knight is very detailed and took a lot of work to get right. Look at most pixel games and you'll see different sized pixels, rotating pixels, lazy ass gradient lighting effects from whatever engine they're using, etc. You can tell the effort went in to make your eye not catch something "too perfect".
Games like Hollow Knight and Ori and the Blind Forest have all that effort too, don't get me wrong. Those background and foreground objects took a lot of work to get right.
Just saying that if you don't want your pixely game to look weird and bland like pic related, you need to put some effort into it.

Yeah, this, similar to Let It Die's OST, is definitely a huge fucking pity.

If only a game with this high-quality art direction was actually creative and high-quality overall, but it doesn't, the art is the best part while everything else is tolerable. Atleast it's not as bad as Let It Die because Let It Die's everything else is actually pretty terrible but even so, it's a huge shame a game like this had to be so repetitive and boring.

That's absolutely not true, how is Hollow Knight anything like any of the metroidvanias Walker lists?

>Aquaria, Axiom Verge, Environmental Station Alpha, The Swapper, VVVVVV, Cave Story+, Guacamelee
I haven't played Environmental Station Alpha, but none of the other games are anything remotely like Hollow Knight, other than basic metroidvania staples like a sprawling map, shortcuts, abilities that you upgrade to reach new areas, and backtracking. If that's enough to call something derivative we might as well never make another platforming game ever again, because apparently following the basic mechanics of a genre and mixing it with other mechanics in a unique setting isn't original enough for John fucking Walker. Comparing HK to Ori is absurd, when if HK is derivative of anything it's obviously Dark Souls, from the currency mechanic to the story.

John Walker didn't like HK because he thought Ori was better, what an absolutely ridiculous way to write a review.

Yeah I'm a bit suspicious too, I mean sure every game has a few guys saying it's GOTY but no Hollow Knight threads starts without "this game is GOTY" or "why haven't you bought GOTY yet? I already bought it 3 times" (that last quote wasn't made up or ironic either, someone actually said that and meant it).
I mean I guess as an indie dev marketing your game on online forums is effective but it's just so tacky.

Someone listed 10+ games and repeated them again and again for a console because they are shit and want /v/ to agree with them that the switch is not a shit console (and it is). IT JUST SO HAPPENED that he listed Stardew Valley and Hollow Knight in it. It is also especially ridiculous because the low amount of games on the switch means they were scraping at the bottom of the barrel and listed virtually every game there is a release date on it. Also other people made lists with 10+ games for various other reasons...
Nah, it must be this insane shill that always posts the same way.
>>381152159
Holy fuck find help.
>>
>>381152258
It's pretty simple if you know the path and are semi competent at killing bosses without a lot of damage/health upgrades
Just go Vengeful Spirit->Greenpath for dash->Mantis town for walljump->City of Tears for groundpound->Crystal Peak for superdash->Sewer's for Isma's Tear->Double Jump->Resting Ground
You can do all that stuff in 2.5 hours even at an abominable pace, and then you have all the movement abilities and can get the dreamers+any other power ups you want before the end of the game, but the last boss is pretty easy

Personally I can't play it because it's incompatible with my controller, so I refunded it. Saw a lot of people with the same problem. Might not be the major reason why it didn't blow up. But definitely a contributing factor I believe.

Also this >>381134481 I didn't give it much thought for a long time, because of the artstyle.

>>381141104

I felt the same way and nearly quit, and I don't remember exact map details; but I found myself in the Darknest(?) very early on in the game and loved how difficult and outscaled I was at that point.

I was there before the city, I believe. Can't really remember, but i had worked my way down the west side of the map and into the forgotten village without even the first nail upgrade. The shielded crawler/tunnel-blockers were a real pain and the overly dark/no light atmosphere area reinvigorated my interest.

I managed to finish the game, but I don't think its' some messiah GOTY GOAT type gem. It's a solid platformer/metroid-y game. It could've done with a steeper difficulty curve, as most of the game is overly easy and once you've unlocked most things, everything becomes a total cakewalk, including the "True Boss" and all the optionals. Is what it is, i guess.

It's really a shame about this. It's such a fucking solid game on basically all fronts. Really shows for an indie studio that they know both their strengths, and their limitations. It's a total travesty that more people aren't talking about it, but I guess that's the fate of a game in such a niche genre

Night in the Woods is a piece of shit game made for a special breed of subhumans.
It is an absolutely abhorrent piece of shit game.
You "people" are the lowest pieces of shit on this board. Who posts shitty mobage and fetish threads on /v/? NEETs. They are responsible for almost all the bad quality posting this board is plagued with.
Most of the good posts are made by people who held jobs at some point of their life, and have actually good tastes in video games. You people are the polar opposite. There's a difference between needing some time in your life, and actually reveling in this inaction.
But how can you expect any human values from white males who dropped out of college, (because that's some easy teaching), and then proceeded to wallow in their misery? No, they won't get their shit together, they'll just shit up the board even more, in an attempt to pull all the discussion down to their level, with their shitty games like idolmaster or night in the woods. You god dam faggot, fuck off from this board and crawl to reddit.

>>381134056
How about because its not as good as everyone hypes it up to be?

I enjoyed it but when I got to the end and realized how little advancements there were in movement and progression abilities. The map needed serious work as well and has too many redundant shortcuts making them feel less important.

I get the whole dark souls is so cool so copy its death mechanic but it didnt really add to the experience at all aside from making stag stations a necessity to spend your currency.
