Is hollow knight really that good? I've been meaning to play it, but the fact that is so universally worshipped on Reddit is making me weary. The only games that get that kind of adoration on Reddit are super troony ones like Undertale.
Sorry troon-kun, I don't want to spend money in support of some pozzed game beloved by Reddit, and your argument for isn't particularly compelling. If you have any actual reasons why it's so good and not pozzed, I would love to hear them as I'd prefer to have my suspicions proven wrong.
>pirate it then if you care about paying so little money
That's actually a good point, thank you Anon.
Its good its just not the best metroidvania that inexperienced zoomers try to make it out to be. Not even top 3. Might not even be top 5. Its the only metroidvania I have yet to replay.
i don't give a frick if you spend money, or even if you play it. you're just a fricking impressionable moron for letting the internet dictate what you do
Lol I know next to nothing about the game, just that it's a metroidvania style apparently featuring bug knights. However I am certainly capable of noticing things and making mental connections - one of which being that most games that are overwhelmingly positive and have a total cult like following on Reddit - are usually pozzed or have some other glaring issue that the rabid fanbase bans all dialogue about. It's certainly not always the case, but when I consistently see weepy redditors talking about how the game is literally perfect and how it literally changed their life, it makes me weary about purchasing. No game is perfect - only mentally ill terminally online folks (usually trannies) will attach themselves mentally to a piece of media in that way and then proceed to rabidly defend said piece of media like their life depends on it. I mean, look at all the level of frothing at the mouth furious responses I got to simply asking whether or not it was worth playing lol.
>schizo babble >”I am certainly capable of making mental connections”
Lmao. No one is frothing at the mouth about you questioning the game. I don’t even like the game that much. It was overlong and had boring movement. But you’re still a complete idiot who needs to do something else with your life (possibly end it)
You got those responses for asking if it was le pozzed wrongthink anti-/misc/ game, which is fricking stupid. Don't turn it around and pretend like you got those responses just for asking whether the game was good or not, schizo.

So the word pozzed was so triggering that it caused you and your fellow cultists to lash out in vicious rage? Lmao. I assume the real reason was my use of the t word. Sorry you can't downvote me but that's life.
It’s just a vaguely dark souls-like metroidvania about a collapsed society of bugs. It has zero politics in it, and the two guys who made it are pretty private. Redditers are moronic but they breathe oxygen, and I’m not going to willingly stop doing that just because Reddit does it.
Thank you for a sane response Anon.

Trying to turn this around isn't going to work, schizo-kun. You asked if a game that has zero indications of it, either from the game itself or from the devs, is 'pozzed'. The sheer moronation, paranoia and lack of self-sufficiency required for you to even ask that question is plenty of reason for people to tell you to frick off to whatever hole you crawled out of.

I think the game is good. Not amazing, but good. Why are you so assblasted by a common, obvious comparison that you reveal yourself to be such a dumb, brainrotten sheep?
save points have existed for a VERY long time. Benches are just that. The combat loop isnt dodge->attack; as I said, it has a lot of mobility either in combat or in platforming sections. It doesnt even have a stamina bar

is absolutely right. Certainly a great game and worth your time, but the latter parts are a bit of a slog with backtracking.
Posts like this remind me of when Undertale came out and Ganker fricking loved it. There were shitloads of threads about how great it was until it got popular, at which point it was promptly labeled "tumblr garbage" and all discussion was de facto banned by the exact same newbie morons who were praising it to fit in only days prior.
I genuinely cannot understand what kind of complete and utter social failure you have to be to try and fit in with the cool kids on a fricking ANONYMOUS forum. Seriously, imagine going to a place where every single thing you say is in no way tied to you unless you put a tripcode on, and still being so utterly terrified of having someone call you a homosexual that you have to self censor yourself and post nothing but things you think are "approved." I don't care if you've ever used Reddit in your life, your mentality is 100% Reddit to its core. Hunting upvotes and karma that doesn't even fricking exist because you're terrified of downvotes that also don't exist.
Black person.
>inb4 HURR DURR I WAS JUST PRETENDING TO BE moronic
That's just as bad. Getting people to call you a fricking idiot isn't difficult and if that's something you strive for then I feel nothing but pity for you.
Buddy, like most of the rest of the world, I personally hate seeing your kind invade the stuff I enjoy. I don't want to have to play anything that has your disgusting lifestyle shoved in my face constantly, and I certainly won't pay for that privilege if I can avoid it. I'll trust the other Anons who posted saying it's not particularly onions and give it a try.
Just so you know, responses like yours are the ones that cost devs money. People see this shit and they think the fanbase is mostly a bunch of mentally ill men in drag and want to avoid it like the plague.

precise controls and smart movement, good level design, good boss design, visually clean but also charming art design. just an all around solid game, just a tad overrated because most metroidvanias are EXTREMELY shit.

Struck a nerve huh. You're in a thread about HK, trying to schizo post about Metroid. A game that no one except you mentioned. Keep projecting though, it's hilarious.
It wasn't made by suits funding a thirty million dollar focus group filtered ad campaign, it was made by human beings who have enjoyed video games in the past and thought that they could make a fun one themselves.
I don't like HK simply because all the characters are bugs, awful design choice. Same reason I'm never touching bug fables even though it's likely pretty fun.
Bugs are stupid.
I don't hate AAA games, I just don't get as excited about them anymore. Even solid titles like new God of War still fall into a formula we've seen countless times because that's what is guaranteed to sell. Emphasizing beautiful graphics and time-consuming odd-jobs over something that really stands out as a unique product.
Indies can be weird and creative or difficult in a way that won't be nearly as marketable to as big of an audience, but can still stand out in my mind as the more memorable experience.
now we wair!t for anons to say rabi rabi, ender lillies and la mulana are all better while the ori moron gets baited with "ori is an indie game"
Modern AAA games have no soul, only lootboxes and diversity quotas
the power of soul and passion and vision

No, it’s Souls + Metroidvania, so it gets hyperbolic praise from people fromdrone esque people. But it is still good. And you’re a dumb fricking loser
it has nothing to do with Souls except for the whole ruined kingdom aesthetic. The combat has a LOT of mobility

NTA but Metroid Prime and Super Metroid are both some of the greatest games ever made.
Actual Metroid and Castlevania games are better. Most of the GBA games especially.

a lot of Ganker and Ganker in general is impressionable kids who've been mind broken by the relentless bullshit from /misc/
Nobody on /misc/ will find out that you enjoy the wrongthink games zoomer-kun
Looking at how many seething troons angrily replied you can guess how troony the game is
If you really want to play Hollow Knight you should pirate it
Also the movement on this game is absolute garbage on a controller and I recommend unironically playing with a keyboard instead

Yes it's good. And you can get it for like 6 dollars or with playstation plus so you should absolutely play it

Ganker hated popular videogames
contrarian
also nintendies btfo and bitter about metroid being mediocre now
Because the audience is incredibly annoying and has views indistinguishable from shitposts
More like you Metroid schizos won't let us have threads while you spam the same Samus fanarts everyday from your bland protagonist

What did he call? That normal people would be disgusted with his trans child protagonist? Wow, what a prediction. Who could've guessed?

i'm enjoying it but i also scream FRICK THIS GAME while playing
But it's not super metroid, is it?
Hollow Knight actually took around 150k.
50k from the kickstarter.
A follow up from donations.
And a loan.
And the final stretch was the devs barely getting by every day on scraps.
Feel glad for them, now they are living the comfy life. Make game without worrying about deadlines or running out of money. Same with the ape man and toby. All just living their best life.
It also mogged Metroid Dread
precise controls and smart movement, good level design, good boss design, visually clean but also charming art design. just an all around solid game, just a tad overrated because most metroidvanias are EXTREMELY shit.

It doesn't, it's just a dedicated group of increasingly annoying cultists. HK is an 8/10 indie being propped up as the second coming.

Where is Silksong you Black folk AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I need it now I need it now I need it now
city of tears is so incredibly kino
did the devs ever mention angel's egg as inspiration?
>did the devs ever mention angel's egg as inspiration?
I've never seen it mentioned, but I can see the likeness
I'd guess that and/or Ghibli just by glancing at the roots of the style in Ari Gibson's past work
Yes.
The very first official concept arts of HK was way more detailed and was blatantly inspired by Angel's Egg.
Cool, got a link to any concept art?
I want Silksong to release right before Tears of the Kingdom for max kino.
The same way Hollow Knight did back in 2017.
