I love metroidvanias and I think it's fantastic. Not for everyone, maybe, but that's the sign of a good game.

>>383064537
It's fucking awful and I've played the majority of them. If not mostly all of them.


Fuck off already, this game is dog shit, the story is derivative, the gameplay is floaty trash, and the art direction is literally tumblr tier.

Kill yourself.

The movement took some getting used to because of the lack of momentum, but there's nothing "floaty" about it. It's precise and feels good. The story is derivative but I don't give a fuck. The art looks great. Sorry, friendo.

>>383064293
I disagree. I enjoyed the combat and the exploration. I liked how your movement capabilities got more fun as you progressed. It is pretty easy not to lose any geo, but that didn't bother me.
I also liked the characters. I felt they were interesting, though some were pretty archetypal. And I didn't mind the story. Nothing groundbreaking, but it was interesting enough to keep me entertained.
But, hey, that's just my opinion man. We're entitled to our own.

>>383065036
I also liked the art. I thought it was simple, but pretty.

>>383065053
The movement sucks ass. You get your basic double jump and dash bullshit. It's the same shit as SoTN. The characters were also awful as well. They never said anything interesting and not once was I interested in the plot of the game. At the first cutscene I already knew the plot. It was so boring that the characters suffered for it because they were in an uninteresting and boring world with terrible art direction.

Opinion discarded

>>383065986
Because I can make an honest opinion on this hot garbage if I actually completed it. The gameplay was competent enough, but I really did not enjoy it the entire way through. It was an awful, awful game for underage faggots who never played a vania before.

>>383065328
Ah but the double jump has some weight to it if you fall in between jumps. And the dash has various lengths depending on your charms. Plus when you get the shadow dash or attacking dash it becomes more useful in combat too.
I thought Zote's interaction with Bretta was neat and it gave him some depth too. Also how Tiso dies at the Coliseum of Fools gives him shape. And there are plenty of other little things like that that I like.
The art, I can kind of see not liking, but I enjoyed it regardless.

No matter what charm the entire movement is one dimensional. It's competent enough, but it isn't fun to traverse the world, it's just tedious. I 85% completed this game. The entire world is uninspired. The movement even makes it even more boring because you don't enjoy exploring.

>>383066274
You need better taste faggot. I beat the game to make an informed opinion, and I can safely say you are fucking retarded for hyping this game up.

>>383066403
I beat it because it was 10 dollars and I don't waste money. It was one of the worst vania games imaginable. The direct rip from dark soul's story is just icing on the shit cake.

Why did you go all the way to the true ending if you hated it you fucking hypocrite.

>>383067181
Because I wanted to experience the game at it's max potential and difficulty (lol) so I can make an informed opinion on this trash. Spoiler alert, it's fucking awful and /v/ again revealed their true selves.

>>383067475
What extra effort lol? You get the kings soul by just going around the map. By the time I got to the abyss I opening it for the void heart. I didn't even know that was the true ending. It took literally no time at all. Fuck off faggot.

No because it would've taken me 20 hours if I didn't upgrade my nail or get grubs for the last pale ore.

Kill yourself. There is like 2 extra things to get the pale ore. The first half of the king soul you get by exploring the queen's nest, the other you get for killing the dreamers. When I did it I din't even know I needed to do it to enter the palace. All in all it only adds maybe 2 hours of content.

But it only takes like 20 hours to get the first ending for an average player and yet according to you, it took you 27 hours for a full run. How is that 2 extra hours?

>>383069438
Because you retard if I didn't go for pale ores or the grubs I would've been at the 22 hour mark. What I am saying since you are too retarded to get it is the true ending barely increases the time taken to complete the game compared to the other endings. Hope this helps.

The king used the hollow knight to keep radiance locked away, he was impure so the seal wasn't working and the infection was starting to spread. You kill radiance, shed the mask, and the void and hollow knights disappear because there is no need for them anymore.

This game is an awful, awful rip off of dark souls. Fuck off faggot.

And what does it have to do with the story of ds? Shouldn't you be making a thread about how crash is the dark souls of platformers instead of this shit?

>>383070456
Because the story is the exact fucking same concept. Lord Gywn is afraid of the dark so he takes the flame for himself. You as the chosen undead kill him and take his place on the throne in order to keep the dark at bay, or you can embrace the dark. The ending structure is literally the fucking same, even the true ending is a direct rip off of dark souls. Fuck off faggot, kill yourself for liking this derivative trash.

>>383064293
Okay, so we know what you don't like about it. Was there anything you did like about the game?

I hate metroidvania most of the time but this game was awesome. it deserve to be in the god tier more then Smetroid and SotN and yeah I am serious.

>>383070835
No they fucking don't retard. The cycle element of hollow knight is the exact same structure as dark souls. The dark and light concept and the never ending cycle and the ability or inability to break it forever. It isn't new, and dark souls introduced the concept in how it relates to the ending of the game.

Ending 1 for dark souls. You usurp the flame and continue the curse of the undead.

Ending 2 You embrace the dark and become the mechanism that ushers in the age of man.

Ending 3 in dark souls 3. You break the cycle by allowing the flame to die out. Sacrificing yourself and maybe saving the world.

Oh my god he likes hollowknight more than SoTN. Shit I'm cracking up here.

This is really sad. Holy shit.

Hold A to jump higher makes me hate this game so much, it fucks up somewhere in my head and I can never get the pogo stick move going while also holding A. The amount of backtracking is insane and the teleporting enemies are bullshit.

At some point I gave up on getting good and just dropped the game. Just not for me.

>>383064293
The character design is enough to turn me off the game. With SOTN as another good example, in a metroidvania, the main character is very much like one-half of the game's illusion (most of the pleasure of games is from seeming like a real thing, kiddos)

SO, in Hollow Knight, we get some nicely painted backgrounds that are pretty nice at times, but the main character (and the enemies) is a fucking lego piece! It's so simplistic and non-suggestive that it kind of boggles my mind. If you've been wearing autist-goggles your whole life, it might register as "cute" or "fun" in your autist-filter, but for anyone else it's just a disappointment.

Characters should actually be surface-level incarnations of empowering ideals and ways of life, it's more exciting that way (vidya games is serious business). SOTN is a good example of this again, Alucard is beautiful and incredibly powerful. It doesn't have to be over the top, just suggestive.

As someone who experienced this entire game vicariously through Northernlion and Hutts , I can tell you it's a damn masterpiece. A ton of thought went into it.

I'm currently playing through this, not sure how far I'm into yet since I'm heavily into sequence breaking, but I only started enjoying it once I got the mantis claw. Before that the game was a slog and it still kind of is. I do enjoy it, thou, but it's an 8 at best.

That said, why do almost no one in these threads bring up how fucking retarded the map system is? Really horrible game design.

>>383071382
Are you retarded? A lot of games do this with a slight variation.

SMT for example, you have to choose law (light) or chaos (darkness) or neutrality and break the cycle.

Or are you one of those retards who say SMT is thr Dark Souls of Persona?
