Almost any game using animu (mainly waifus) as its primary attraction is one of the easiest red flags to spot.

It's okay if you didn't like it but lets use shilling for when it's obviously shilling.

Liking any game and ESPECIALLY posting about it is shilling. The only way to generate discussion on this board is to shit on whatever game you like.

Hollow Knight's only flaw is that it's too easy

Someone here likened it to Dark Souls so I'll be doing that as well, it was the reason why I got it.
It has the same depth and art style of a boring flash game I would play on newgrounds back in the day and I despise how the difficulty is all over the place instead of being balanced or the same throughout worlds similar to Dark Souls. Upgrades are lackluster and I hate the backtracking you have to do continuously, nothing feels connected but just like a long hallway.
I hate the currency mechanic too, in Dark Souls you have a level system which you can spend your souls on but in Hollow Knight there's like a few shops so if you're deep inside some cave about to fight some boss you have to do some tedious backtracking to spend your souls or risk losing them all, the bosses also just randomly appear sometimes without any indication and your demon thing will be in the boss room so you can't go back.

>Someone here likened it to Dark Souls so I'll be doing that as well, it was the reason why I got it.

Then you're retarded. It's a Metroidvania first and foremost. When people complain about "Soulscancer", they're referring to you.

The game has no souls. I see you haven't actually played it, so you make up shit to bitch about it.

>>386228129
What people don't understand is Dark Souls is also like a Metroidvania. It's not 2D but the basis is the same, kinda like PoP: Warrior Within.

Except it's not. You don't get new power ups that give you access to new areas. The game doesn't even have a map nor actual platforms.

Whatever, the little snail trinkets. I wasn't going to change the name of the currency every single time in my comment.

>>386228538
That's why I said LIKE a Metroidvania.

>>386228738
It's not even remotely like a metroidvania.

>>386228791
>backtracking out the ass
>able to choose multiple paths in an expansive map (some through platforming too)

How are these not like a Metroidvania? Dark Souls and Warrior Within are action games mainly but they do have some Metroidvania elements, you can't deny that.

>>386228930
>you press buttons
How is it not like call of duty?
How is it not like dota 2?

Dumbass.

You might as well say that Skyrim is like a metroidvania at this point because it's Open World.

Nier Automata now and forever

Esteemed beloved cult series gets a sequel that looks promising, everybody on /v/ seems to love it, looked good so I gave it a chance. What a fucking mistake.

>Shoot em up intro is clunky and an incredibility shitty introduction to the game that shifts the camera all over the place and stops every two seconds to have a useless pilot you know nothing about get blown away

More like Adam And Steve ammirite

>>386229426
Fuck, thank you. I've made threads about this and so many seem to like it. I thought the original was okay, like a strong six so I got the second game expecting the same. Worst game I've ever played in my life, deleted it permanently off my steam library. Felt embarrassed for ever having played it.

Not him but those are some incredibly weak comebacks.

>2D vertical/horizontal multi-path choice world, new areas require upgraded abilities/backtracking to access
I don't think you can even reach any more criteria for "Metroidvania" aside from aesthetics. Then again only autists would have trouble distinguishing these similar traits from FPS's and 3D RPG's.

>>386229486

i have to say Automata was a bit of a disappointment as well

In terms of gameplay, it's easily one of Platinum's weakest offerings. It's very shallow, 9S's playstyle is slow and boring and the hacking gets really repetitive and breaks up the flow way too much

In terms of everything else, the original Nier pretty much did better. I still enjoyed it, but it was pretty disappointing outside of the soundtrack.

>>386230307
>9S's playstyle is slow and boring
>he doesn't know

>>386230307
Only secondaries bought Automata for being a platinum game anyway.

>nothing feels connected
If world where you can literally go from each place to each place and most of them are interconnected is not connected then I don't know what is
>backtracking
backtracking in metroidvania woooooow. It is like you didn't even check the genre before you buy
> and your demon thing will be in the boss room so you can't go back.
You can go back and it works the same as in dark souls with exception that here you have to kill it with 2 hits instead of collecting it
>upgrades are lackluster
That is subjective because range addition to melee weapon or skill like baldur shield are very strong considering how this game works
TL:DR
>I'm dark souls fan therefore each game have to work the same way so I will feel comfortable when playing it. If it is not dark souls it is shit
>Same art style as flash game
Show example since I have never seen aesthetics like this in browser game

It's not necessarily for everyone but it's generally a good game. Biggest problem is that it runs like shit and drops frames often when a lot of shit goes down.

fucking this, every anime girl weeb game is trash and yet /v/ can't get enough of them

>>386227979
>Art style of a flash game
It's similar when you squint but it's far more detailed than your typical flash game
>Depth of a flash game
Generally more depth than any flash game I know as well
>Difficulty is all over the place
Dark Souls isn't exactly balanced either and it's fairly constant aside from challenging areas
>Upgrades are lackluster
Aside from the 2 secondary nail arts I think most of the upgrades have some kind of point, whether it's a charm or whatever
>Backtracking, hallway
Everything is pretty decently interconnected and backtracking is fairly common in Metroidvanias. I can't think of any reason to describe everything as a hallway unless you give up in the first area.
>Currency mechanic
But Dark Souls also has decentralized merchants everywhere that you have to dump your souls on to get new shit and hikes to and from stag stations generally aren't that long (aside from ancient basin). And just like Dark Souls you risk losing all your currency if you challenge a boss with a lot of it.
>Bosses just appear randomly
I can't immediately think of a boss that isn't signposted fairly well on the spot.
