Yes yes well done silksong well done, but when are we getting /ourguy/'s game?
>>719447623actually obsessed
>>719447491Ever since fighting him in the DLC I wanted to play as this dude. The armor looks sick and his powers are cool, if Hornet is supposed to be the DEX character this guy should be the STR option. Throw in pure vessel magic to get a paladin themed thing going
>>719447874What was the reasoning for this dude not just soloing Radiance? If a shitty one of a billion mass produced shade can do it, why couldn't the literal perfect Hollow Knight do it?
>>719447491yeahh i think i'll just play simon's quest again instead of new metroidvania slop 2000
>>719447949why can't you do brain surgery on yourself?
>>719447874 Based take. Dude had that towering presence even in the original fight, and when you finally get to control him in the DLC it’s like wielding a wrecking ball made of screams and vengeance. STR build with some spell-casting finesse would be kino. Give him soul-fueled greatsword swings, maybe even a berserk mode when his infection level spikes-hell, let him consume his own health for damage buffs. Make it tragic, make it brutal. I’ll main that in a heartbeat.
>>719447623And you can go back to seething in your Metroid thread.
>>719447949I took it as the theme of the game being that following a prescribed purpose and meaning can't achieve the same as those derived by oneself. HK was born and raised to contain the radiance, as was the knight, and neither solve the problem. Only by going beyond your assigned purpose and finding your own can you actually solve the problem, and as a result of your newfound strength of character you rally the passive shades to your banner
>>719448118>trying to force a series flamewar in the big 2025Let's us not. Both are great games, there's no need for such childish behavior.
>>719448114I meant before he was infected ya dingus
>>719447491It took 37 years for silk song to come out and now you want another game based on an even more obscure side character
>>719447949>this exist in the dream world and controls your thoughts>this strong guy will just beat it upyou would be the first to get tang'd
>>719449887>an even more obscure side character>the literal titular character
>>719447949Because despite his name he was a failure like all the rest at being truly hollow. He saw the Pale King as his father and the latter reciprocated, and that was enough for him to lose to moth pussy since the whole strategy was to contain it with a thoughtless emotionless being, which HK wasn't.
>>719447949because only unified void could kill rad completely.
>>719447949In a shocking twist he literally lost because of the power of love and friendship.
Why do all of the vessels know how to fight? Isn't the only important qualities a vessel needs to have are that they have no emotions and don't dream? I don't see any evidence that the Hollow Knight had to fight the Radiance in order to seal it.
>>719452373I thought only ours could fight because we're special
>>719452373>I don't see any evidence that the Hollow Knight had to fight the Radiance in order to seal it.We really have no idea how they originally sealed the radiance but I doubt it was enough to just kill any random infected bug and sip it up.
>>719447949 Because the Pale King played himself. Thought if he cooked up a big enough vessel with thick bones and no emotions he could just stuff the Radiance in there like a bad dream under a cozy mattress. Problem is, HK wasn’t truly hollow-dude leaked feelings like a cracked cistern. That tiny trace of attachment to his dad was enough to give Radiance a foothold, and from there it was all downhill. You can't fight a metaphysical moth god with parental issues and expect to win.
>>719454060pale king should've just consulted the moth guys and asked how to deal with their ex gf, could've gotten his hands on dream travel tech and just nuked the bitch
>>719452462Broken Vessel, also the one Hornet killed before her first fight.
>>719447949Because the dumb ass king fucked up. He made the perfect Hollow Knight, but favored him too much, and gave him attachment, thus ruining his hollowness. The defect shades, tossed aside by the countless numbers, produced a true empty vessel, because it had nothing, and nothing acknowledging it. Hollow Knight had comrades, a father, a kingdom to protect, and expectations placed on him. How could be truly Hollow if he interacts with any of that? Shade was tossed in the dumpster, climbed up from the abyss, and just interacted with an uncaring, dying world that wanted to kill him.
>>719447491The game IS still called "Hollow Knight:" SilksongHe's in. Hornet's partner in crime in this game after gettin de-rads'd
>>719456065Either way, you'd have to be in full /v/ and youtube lockdown at least a day early to avoid spoilers
>>719447949>What was the reasoning for this dude not just soloing Radiance?cos he doesn't have the Void Heart
One of the Godmaster endings is Hornet meeting with a freed and conscious Hollow Knight. Hopefully that's the canon ending that proceeds to Silksong and we get a playable Hollow Knight. Like Hornet is X and HK is Zero in MMX3.
>>719458969That would be bad news. Because that means the Void Entity goes berserk and replaces the Radiance as the big bad. Except it's out of the dream, wrecking havoc in reality.
>>719447491Who is it ?
>>719456065Soul
>>719459326>Because that means the Void Entity goes berserk and replaces the Radiance as the big bad.Not if you give the Godseeker a flower beforehand. That changes the ending into the void being purified.
>>719458969Silksong starts with a defeated, weakened Hornet. HK is the only one who could wreck her like this because i assume he fell under the influence of cultists.
>>719459326This also sounds like a fantastic antagonist for the sequel.Imagine a Void God Knight final boss. They could go all out with insane bullshit.
>>719447949he did not have a dream nail nor had he united the voidalso the pale king was simply wrong in his assumption as to how to beat the radiance and the hollow knight followed him blindly
>>7194474917 more years
Nintendo delayed Prime 4 because they played Silksong and realized what a good game is.
Will I beat Radiant Radiance and Pantheon of Hollownest before Silksong or burn myself out horribly before it releases?
>>719447949Because the solution devised by the King was wrong. You needed the Void's darkness to eclipse the Radiance's light.The vessels were technically pointless. Hornet could've done what the Knight did, just as any other bug.
>>719466589You joke but Nintendo probably knew since the start of the year that Silksong was a September deal.So they planned around that and made it so that September is their Kirby and Silksong month.
>fanart vs actual game
>>719456065>tfw duo boss fight where the knight is part of the fight doing his own thing helping you out
>>719447949erm my shitty one of a billion mass produced shade solo'd the pure vessel too
>>719447491I have a question. Where was the Radiance before being put inside the Hollow Knight? Was she inside one of her followers? Or is she just a kind of spirit form? How did the Pale King put the Radiance inside the Hollow Knight? Was it a kind of spirit battle? Does the Radiance even have a physical body? Was there a moth caccoon somewhere?
>>719447491Why do his pauldrons have handles?
>>719466606If I can do it, so can you
>>719447491SEX WITH MY GIRLFRIEND (male), PHANTOM, WHILST HORNET WATCHES.
>>719468992for chains
>>719468992Maybe it’s where the chains are supposed to be attached, or it is just over-designed.If the former, good visual storytelling. It shows that even though the armor is bright and regal, the knight was always supposed to be imprisoned.
>>719469097Oh right.
>>719468946uncleari think dream world is a physical -- and not purely metaphorical -- space in some capacity how could you yoink pale king's charm otherwise?, so radiance was the same kind of bigass moth even in the overworld
>>719469229Oh yeah, I had forgotten how the Pale King had transported his palace inside the fallen knight. So the dream world is kind of a pocket dimension then. That’s pretty nifty ngl. I wonder about this though. Many speculate that the Pale King did this to escape the Radiance. However, the Radiance is said to be the god of dreams, so most likely it would have found out the Pale King sooner or later. Unless, the pocket dimension created by the Pale King had some kind of password lock to it against the Radiance
>>719469640>brand inside the remains of a wyrm on world's end>charm on a pale king inside warded dream palacedude probably pulled the classic cigarette trick to ditch the white lady and metamorphose into something else
I had a dream where it was revealed in an official stream/trailer that the hollow knight shows up in silksong and was upset they spoiled it
>>719470032>metamorphose into something elseYou know, that makes me wonder... What if we do meet the Pale King in our journey but the Pale King does not remember he’s the Pale King?
>>719472316You now remember those theories that the Knight we play as IS the Pale King
>>719472390unfalsifiable theory
>>719449887>side character >game is named after him
>>719472390>>719472423Would show how the knight is just so dang strong.But then, the knight’s memories of seeing the hollow knight leave with the pale king comes into question. Cause the Hollow Knight looks back the the knight holding on the edge for a moment.
>>719472507>side characterMore like the central character. He’s not the viewpoint character but certainly is the most significant.
>>719472507>>719472561I'm not sure I'd go as far as to say it's a twist but I always liked how the devs played with the natural assumption that you the player were the Hollow Knight.
>>719472657>assumption that you the player were the Hollow KnightTo be honest, they are not exactly wrong. Seeing how we don’t fall to the infection, we are pretty hollow
>>719447491Why does he take off his armor during the PV fight? Is he stupid?
>>719472717I think it’s just the devs not wanting to create a whole new fight with new animations and moveset
>>719472717wanted a fair fight against his naked brother
>>719472717I mean he fights using the void itself spewing out of his body in the form of tentacles. The armour was probably always just purely ceremonial and his fighting style kind of requires nakedness.
>>719447491I cant beat pure vesselSend help
>>719473004Practice him in the Hall of Gods
>>719473004you'll get him, dont worry. Its a very fair fight with no RNG bullshit, eventually you'll git gut
>>719473004Learn to jump over him since 90% of his moves are avoided by jumping over them.
>>719473004This is the only fight where parrying is actually a good idea
>>719447491>game where you play as a Great Wyrm>it's a kingdom manager>you have x amount of workers providing y amount of resources>spend resources on buzzsaws
>>719452373Yeah where does the Vessel get its nail anyway?
>>719447735>tranny deflection 101
>>719452373I assumed it was for self protection. If any someone could get into the seal all they'd need to do was kill the Hollow Knight and the Radiance would be free. Teaching him how to fight basically makes him function as both prison and warden.
>>719473357It's a "traditional weapon of hallownest." Probably just found it on some dead guy.
>>719473357Most likely picked up a discarded nail of some soldier. You have to give some leeway here cause it’s a game
>>719469097I like the way his head follows you as you go around breaking his chains.
I wonder what sorts of bankers and services silksong will have. Will we ever get a millibelle equivalent?
>>719474940Bug so greedy the greed kept the Radiance out of her head
>>719475435>Salubra, Pale Lurker, Eternal Emilitia are all immune to the mind plague because they're stark raving mad>Millibelle? She's just Jewish.
Guess the hype is dead since none of these threads can hit bump limit lol Team Cherry played their hand too soon
>>719447491>people have been waiting years for a $20 dlc (lmao) of a mediocre game with good musicYou guys are a cult
>>719477019Im just waiting bro trying not to get spoiled
>>719474940I want there to be an actual bank with a good deal that gives you interest over time and never actually betrays you, but it's so sketchy looking that nobody takes up the offer.
>>719475780there's also my man ZOTE>Dreams are dangerous things. Strange ideas, not your own, can worm their way into your mind. But if you resist those ideas, sickness will wrack your body! Best not to dream at all, like me.

>>719477879KWAB
>>719478051I'm not watching that
UUUUH MAAREVAAA
>>719478051I hate that I've always been terrible at spoiling myself just before a game comes out, like souls games. I got to the point where he said 'where the maps are in relation to each other' and tapped out. Not gonna do it this time.
>>719478051Gonna be watching mossfag purely to see his reaction when we find out that Hornet IS void after all
>>719447949> If a shitty one of a billion mass produced shade can do it, why couldn't the literal perfect Hollow Knight do it?That's the point. The tragic irony of it all is that the Pale King heaped so much care and attention on his succesful specimen that it stopped being an empty shell.
>>719479589I like how their relationship was so important to the king that he sealed his most cherished memory with a seal of binding and placed it behind an extreme amount of protection, including two guards so it would be preserved forever.It does make me wonder what killed him. Whatever got to him managed to kill the guards standing before the throne room, but not the guard in front of the entrance of the palace, so it must have come from within the dream realm? Could it have been radiance?
>>719477879Why didn't you Alt + F4 to avoid it saving?
>>719479951What's the point of going for a challenge if you're just going to cheese it?
>>719480030What's the point of bitching about a challenge if you're incompetent?
>>719447491HK is too big to play in the same genre.At that point you need to branch out into 3d rollslop game.
>Tries Path of Pain>Dies at the guards because low HPAny good charms for it?
>>719480103>HK is too big to play in the same genre.i dont think soit unironically has more evolving/dynamic combat than contemporany 3d rollslop, bar maybe elden ring. youre actually evading hitboxes, pulling off cool tricks to land more hits, having a much more fun health&healing mechanic than "you die in 3 hits but you can instantly heal to full", shit like that. Not to mention the nonlinear progression and cool secretsNow look at the state of the 3d rollslop clone genre. Nothing has tricky encounters like DS1/DS2, only Elden Ring has cool tri dimensionality and gimmicks but its only in occasional moments while the overall game isnt dense. Almost all the souls clones now have one-dimensional "press button to avoid" defense where every attack is practically in a vacuum and everything can be dealt with one isolated button, specially now that everyone apes deflects. Everyone has their shitty version of estus. Everyone copies what fromsoft does in a shallow way and doesnt feature what actually made it good. And almost everything is a linear railroaded world with no interesting interconnection or route varietySo yeah i am desperate for silksong
>>719480697>because low HPimpossible there's an endless soul totem right before that fight
>>719480697if you want to take the pussy solution, come into the fight with full soul and spam DDarkotherwise, try heart, shaman stone, spell things in general.
>no shade cloak crutch>no descending dark crutch>need to COMMIT to a heal where if you fail you lose all your silk>bosses can deal two pips of damage very earlyBros.....
>>719480769He didnt expect a platforming gauntlet full of checkpoints with infinite health fountains, where you only need to heal once your HP is low, to suddenly throw out two enemies that can attack and kill youI made a similar mistake, i only arrived with 5 masks, but i lived
>>719480861>team cherry didnt buy into the iframe dash spam or deflect spam or estus or whatever shit has been plaguing action games, they actually moved further away from it>bosses that filter acrobaticsletsKino incoming
>>719480697Isn't that the place you can cheese with the generation charm? Whenever you get hit by a hazard just stop and regenerate. It's extremely tedious to do it this way thougheverbeitly
>>719480861>>719480928>anons faces when they find the parry charm
>>719480861GIT GUD
>>719447623>this is the best /pol/spergs can come up with 2025
>>719480938theres a secret gauntlet behind an invisible wall, its basically the same place but a lot harder, in exchange you have infinite soul totemsBut in the end it sends you an arena with two kingsmoulds and if they kill you, you just got sent back to the start. And you were probably there for 30-60 minutes
I feel like this is gonna be a Dark Souls vs. Bloodborne mess.Gonna be hilarious to see the fanbase get split into and argue over which is better.
>>719481002>consumes your gauge>its a bursty counter instead of deflect spamsounds great to me, actuallyWith that said, clashing in silksong looks way better, and repeatedly clashing would be more interesting than contemporany parryslop. Would be cool if there was a charm for it
>>719447949>why couldn't the literal perfect Hollow KnightBecause he wasn't perfect
>>719480769I fell straight to the fight, didn't see any, was too tired from trying the part before itGonna check next time>>719480781I mean for the path in general, not just the guardsWould long nail charms feel better or worse?
>>719480769what totem? never seen it
>>719480697grub song plus deep heal and the bee health for infinite health
>>719481274>I mean for the path in general, not just the guardsi think it will be much faster the second time aroundSharp Shadow will either completely fuck you or make you happier. Probably the formerheres an actual tip though: If you want to stay clinging to a wall, and you dont want to slide it down, but wall jumping is also unsafe.. You can just start up crystal dash and cancel it when its about to be done charging
>>719481409path of pain already has infinite health, faster than hiveblood at thatIf anything you may as well take quick/deep focus to speed up the process
>>719479937It does feel like the sort of thing that there should be an interesting answer for, but perhaps not. Radiance would have left gunk everywhere. I think they just aren't actually immortal. Maybe the youngest ones were just still alive? we don't have a very good idea of lifespan ranges, and there are very few age indicators.
>>719452373the main vessel was presumably venturing for some time, but also, void is the collection of billions of lost souls, isn't it? there could be some muscle memory in there.>>719473357the last upgrade text implies that it was born with it, with it being the ancient weapon, the only one capable of being the perfect nail.
>>719480861>>need to COMMIT to a heal where if you fail you lose all your silkThis is a good thing. You heal multiple hits at once, there ought to be something to balance this out.
>>719481068Nah this doesn't look too drastically different for that to be an apt comparison. It basically just looks like a more refined version of HK with more combat and movement options and the bosses already look way better than the average HK has and they're bound to be early/mid game shitters. I'm beyond exited for how good late game bosses will be.

>>719483212this is accurate to reality evenfemale bugs are usually bigger than the males
>>719485912No the Hollow Knight couldn't SEAL the Radiance cause of his not hollow self. The Knight being able to kill the Radiance has nothing to do with whether we are or are not hollow. It's just pure strength.
>>719452373Radiance is literally the final boss, I don't think it would let itself be sealed without a fight, and I don't think you'd know how to fight in a dream unless you knew how to fight in real life.

>>719488074my buddy recommended me misericorde neat vn

>>719488074Gacha dailies.My first Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough.Monster Hunter Wilds events and weeklies.Marvel Rivals season pass grind.
the 112% ending heavily implies he is alive after hollow knights events, he will join hornet against the voidlord to get the knight back
>>719488557All endings are canon.
>>719488685>the radiance is alive>the radiance is dead>the knight is trapped in the black egg temple>the knight is dead>the knight has ascended to the lord of shades and fucked off somewherethese are mutually exclusive
>>719488826Since when were you under the impression there was only one vessel?
>>719488919non sequiturs are an admission of defeat btw
>>719488965You're just no fun at all
>>719488074I'm working on a video but I still need to do the voiceover but I've been sick for the last week, it's infuriating
>>719488826Anon, all endings are canon. That's what TC said
>>719488074I'm finishing up a few games that I've beaten once but need to do NG+ to 100% everything such are Stellar Blade, SMTVV and Metaphor.
>>719488826Tc said they're all canon
>there are people out there still insisting Silksong could be a prequelGrim.
>>719488074Been playing GTNH while i cool off from my pantheon attempts, just finished P2 and other than the Oblobble's it was easy. I don't think i will finish P5 by the time silksong is out.
>>719447491>>719449887>>719472657>>719472507so you anons do know that once you beat Silksong....You play as him. It's a close kept secret.
>>719489447Which is retarded. Sealed siblings can't be canon because hornet isn't trapped in the black egg temple.
>>719480697>play steel soul>did path of pain for the fun of it>forgot about the guards >down to 1 mask >nearly bitched out >sheer shame motivated me to fight on and win That was a rush
>>719490026An unlockable mode to play through the whole game as the Knight would actually be pretty cool
>>719490154Man people really put too much stock in that whole all endings are canon thing. That was clearly just the devs saying that you can pick whichever ending is your favourite.
>>719490154I'm sorry are you one of the devs? No.
>>719490026Did the Kickstarter goal for the 3rd character make it? If so that'd be the next logical move is making a game where we are the actual hollow knight
>>719490026>Silksong was made because Hornet was too big for the little tunnels>Hollow knight is fuck hugeSee you in 2035
>>719488074Siralim Ultimate...
it clicked
>>719489447they said that before they were even done making godhome brosilksong wasn't even an idea yet
>>719485912It's containing light within a void (doesn't work because cracks form) vs completely snuffing it out (werks).
>>719490563No but neither did the Colosseum of FoolsAlso the third character is Zote by the silhouette
>>719490718>just chilling with your bro Quirrel while rain patters the windowA moment of respite
>>719490797Yeah but zote is such a non character. I doubt they would actually make a zote game
>>719490191deaths in a dream don't count
>>719452314>I can't lose because i have the power of love on my side>end up losing because of the power of love
>>719447949>why couldn't the literal perfect Hollow Knight do it?Because it wasn't perfect. The king was so obsessed with creating a perfectly hollow vessel that, ironically, he cared about the project so much that he ended up making a fatherly connection with the creature.But I don't think the player knight is hollow either.
Will Grimm Troupe show up?
>>719492334Our knight completely sidesteps the whole ordeal and becomes a god instead.I assume he's the Silksong's antagonist.
>>719488074I went back to hollow knight to get the cheevos I haven't already gotten. now I'm just twiddling my thumbs anxiously. 4 more days...
>>719492607Is there anything even bad about the nightmare king?Seems to only act as scavengers and consume the remaining flames of kingdoms that already have fallen.
>>719492607Don't they only feed on fallen kingdoms? From the looks of it, Pharloom isn't that far along yet.
>>719492709I just hope we get to fight him, I don't care what the reason is.
>>719492709Does shade lord have any reason to be an antagonist? I've only beaten Radiance and not seen any of the pantheon endings, but it seemed to me that Void was an enemy of Radiance but was not otherwise "evil."
>>719493354>Does shade lord have any reason to be an antagonistAntagonist in the sense he's "evil", no. But he may be a mindless force driven only to consume or seep into the physical realm, which can become a massive cataclysm because he's the god of gods.
>stabs demigod possessed by an evil god in the face>GIT GUDwhy is she like this
>>719490718>some people went the other way around into the city and never experienced the kino bench
>>719493662She's a demigod too
here's my fanfic, after the godhome ending hornet leaves and the hollow knight wanders around half dead until he meets with his mother, she offers to help him if he unshackles her. The hollow knight unshackles the white lady causing her to spread and spread over time becoming a world tree-like thing sprouting out of hallownest, all while the HK is hibernating in the bosom of the tree or something. Ages pass and a new civilization has been created around the world tree but then creatures of the void start causing problems so a young scientist named Ciel goes to find and unleash the legendary hollow knight to fight fire with fire
>>719493915Is Ciel a 13 year old English feminine shota aristocrat with a daemon in thrall?
>>719479937>Whatever got to him managed to kill the guards standing before the throne room, but not the guard in front of the entrance of the palace, so it must have come from within the dream realm? Could it have been radiance?didn't the void get to him? i thought there were traces of void in the white palace.
Bros is Lord Fool a Wyrm like Pale King?
>>719494839HE'S A CORPSE ON A THRONE
>>719495057If he's a corpse, how come he gave me stuff?
so what are the odds he shows up in silksong if it takes place after godmaster?
Gonna start Hollow Knight soon. Anyone know how to mod the aspect ratio to 4:3? I wanna play on a CRT.
>>719449851>We knights defend against the physical, but a formless enemy. How to defeat such a foe?>Our King tried in his own way. A cruel means it was... And still, eventually, we were brought low.What's it gonna do, swing at the air? The Hollow Knight needed to concentrate the infection in order to seal it in its body. From what I understand, The Dream Nail was never part of the Pale King's plan. It was the exclusive weapon of the moth tribe, a group the king dismissed outright as the source of the Radiance.
>>719486805
>>719495105that was the crowd throwing stuff at you
>>719490718this is why hollowknight captures so many people NPCs just chill with you or hangout with you on your journey and you can stumble across regular bugs that still live in the world like those random bugs in the crossroads hot spring it feels alive and lived in and it's something i think games lack
>>719495696Did you never beat Trial of the Fool?
>>719493662>Dad is an absentee retard obsessed with sawblades and his one perfect son>Mom treats you like a business transaction and spends every day sleeping like the fatass she isHornet... Had a hard life
why did he do it?
>>719496304wa ha!
Reminder that once Silksong comes out the final boss will be datamined and posted here. So don't come here until you veat the game.
>>719496304It's part of their reproductive cycle
Hornet got a alternate costume
>>719447491Is there a way to beat lost kin without having to equip the dung defender charm? I want to beat him with style, swag, and not smelling like literal shit
>>719497140Git gud?
>still can't pre-purchase and pre-download silksong despite only 3 more daysit's going to be fun when its store page crashes and shut 80% of people out from playing it on release day
>>719497272If the store only fucks up for the first few hours of a Steam Sale, a time when millions of people are accessing it to buy thousands of different games all at once, there's no way there will be any issue for just ONE game releasing. It's gotta be a fraction of the load of a Steam Sale.
>>719497272I will gladly contribute towards the store page crashing.LET ME DOWNLOAD THE GAME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>719447949I think you need two vessels to beat the radiance. One to contain it in one place, and another to dream nail and actually fight the damn thing. My question is how the fuck did the hollow knight get to be so big?
>>719497428Steam fucked up for a couple of minutes when Deltarune went live, so I could see something similar happening with Silksong.
>>719497541He was full of orange goop
>>719447735You will never ever be a woman.
Homies over hoes
>>719497272>I MUST PRE ORDER >I MUST PRE DOWNLOADno, be patient
How can you think the knight is truly hollow when you: >spend time with Quirrel in the Blue Lake>accompany the Old Stag to his birthplace>complete the trial of the fool for no real reason>bring a flower to a lonely old man
>>719496304He got hungry
>>719497541The Hollow Knight is said to be "fully matured", so us and the other Vessels are likely infantile forms.
>>719498008Anyone who thinks the knight is hollow is a retard. None of the vessels were.
>>719497541>how the fuck did the hollow knight get to be so big?read the hunter's journal the hollow knight is an adult vessel and since it was the product of the whit lady who is massive and the pale king who is short
>>719498008This is why the base ending is the considered an incomplete ending.
Dream no more ending is the best ending
>>719498008He's not, that's why the default ending of killing the Hollow Knight and simply taking on his duty is the "bad" ending where you're only giving bugs a little more time until you'll crack like your predecessor
>>719498008why do you think the good end is tackling the problem at its source?hell, why do you think the Ghost managed to possess the initiative of actually tracking the infection's source and blasting itself into the Knight's mind to end it once and for all?
>>719498008the void heart ending doesnt mean youre hollow to the point you can contain the radiance, so you kill her
>>719498003I MUST DOWNLOAD
>>719497041damn bugs look like THAT?
how did the pale king grab the radiance and shove her inside the hollow knight?
I don't understand people who are rushing through Hollow Knight and especially trying to complete the Pantheons before the release of Silksong.They're just getting themselves used to a completely different control scheme, and if they have a fully upgraded character to boot it's likely Hornet will feel sluggish by comparison (even if she ends up way more mobile by the end)
>>719498564He lured her in with dick pics
>>719498603>and especially trying to complete the Pantheonsi did a commemorative p5 run with retarded charm setups while streaming to my friends and we laughed our asses off
>>719498603and considering Silksong is a prequel, its probably better for them to get the conclusion after Silksong
>>719498008The question is how much does a vessel need to experience in life to lose the ability to stay hollow? For the Hollow Knight all it took was some bonding with the King and it lost its ability to be hollow.If we look at everything the player knight does over the course of the game and everyone he meets, it's basically impossible for the player knight to be hollow. That's why the harder-to-reach endings are about the player knight choosing a different way to destroy the Radiance because the default method is innately flawed.
>>719498696>and considering Silksong is a prequel
>>719498008Yeah, the knight isnt hollow which is why the new vessel ending is a bad one, as eventually The Radience will get through him just like it got through THK, which lasted for a while as it seems.
>>719498564it used dream buzzsaws to corner it into the knight's mind
>>719498182The pale king is a giant-ass sandworm
>>719498713maybe its inevitable. maybe the plan with the HK was over before it even startedafter all if he was truly hollow then he wouldnt feel anything when besides PK to begin with
>>719498779a sequel to the series, a prequel to the story chronology
>>719498696>and considering Silksong is a prequelRetard-kun...
>you will not pre-order>you will not get lured in by early reviews>you will stop consooming
>>719498713>The question is how much does a vessel need to experience in life to lose the ability to stay hollow?Not much, I think. The conditions they’re born in is traumatizing enough. Also the little ghost seemed to have actively repressed it’s memories of its origins before being forced to confront them head on and it FAINTED IMMEDIATELY
>>719499015post a source or stop saying this as if it's a fact. you're literally just making shit up
>>719498564Lamp
>>719499015A prequel is literally something that chronologucally takes place before the previous entry but is produced/released after it.
>>719447491Nobody cares about HK tho, not even devs. (Who only did Silksong cause lol Kickstarter promise)
>>719498894Was. Then he died and came back as a manlet to sex the queen and steal the Radiance's worshippers
>the doomkek esl is back at it again
>>719447949He's not a faggot, so he actually valued relationships. They needed a soulless husk they could sacrifice by firing the vax into it, instead of a GIGACHAD.
>>719499074>actively repressedIt lost whatever memories or mind it might have had when it left Hallownest.
>>719497041Sex with the bug
>>719499067STFU and let me download it fucking assholes.
>>719499067
I can't wait to stay off of /v/ for 3+ months to avoid spoilers
>>719500187surely it won't take you 3 months to finish the game...?
>>719500187I'm going off all boards and off youtube starting on wednesday. Can't take risk on these things
>>719500493I plan to savor it as much as possible. Full appreciation of every single room.
>>719500532Same desu. Going dark is the only way to be sure.
>>719474940she looks like a penis tip
>>719447949The issues is that none of the shades were truly hollow, they all had a capability to feel, though limited, even the shade we control when we play the game is like this, once you beat the radiance you either fuucking explode and then the radiance can never be a problem again OR you seal it inside of you and slowly over time the radiance will leak out of you again like it did from the OG Hollow Knight.
>>719499067Which one is the one who trooned out?My money is in the left
>>719501039the one in your imagination
>>719500532>>719500187yeah same, hope you enjoy the game lads
>>719498008the true ending is the speedrun ending where you don't do any of that shit
>not only can you climb back up to the place you fell from in the prologue, but there's a whole another secret area up there as wellneat
>>719498003>d00d you've waited 7 years for this games but dont be so impatient maayyynnshut up fag.theres literally no reason why you shouldn't be able to pre-download it so you can avoid the inevitable 3 - 4 hourw the page will be down due to traffic.
>>719499067>Took as long as they wanted. >Didn't spend half their day shitting it up on social media / discord. >Didn't give a fuck about people whining about no information coming out.They're honestly mega based and setting an example for what an actual dedicated dev team should look like in this dogshit industry
>Pale King and White Lady el sexo>throw eggs into the abyss>bugs hatch and die?>void enters their husks and they become vessels?>or void permeates the unhatched eggs and the bugs are "born" as vessels?
wait how was the Knight able to move during the godseeker epilogue if the Ghost unified the entire void under its will?
>>719500668The only real trouble is muscle memory that might makes you open /v/ or YouTube on your phone when you're half-asleep. Don't forget to remove all easy accesses
Guys. It's jover>>>/wsg/5962619
>>719504608>aug 28th
>>719494443Nah, the void and him were buds
>>719504051I thought the implication was that he became the god of void by defeating radiance all by himself
>>719488074I'm in the same boat, I'm weirdly bored this weekend.Just kind of passing time until SS. Went for a bike ride, plucked a lot of weeds, "When's Silksong?"
>>719504608shazam troons are really getting desperate, man
>>719488074Nothing. I have to play music or go for a walk. I can't play anything without thinking, "man i just want to play silksong." Even when I'm practicing my instruments, I'm still thinking about SS.
>>719488537Are you me? Literally everything.Zzz/Genshin shitPrefarming for OmegaBG3 full first playthroughAnd Rivals ranked.My friend just got Helldivers 2 so we're playing that
>>719495389Ok, got it working in 4:3 using the guide at the end of this pagehttps://www.nexusmods.com/hollowknight/mods/77Now I just need to find a way to zoom out the camera because the UI is getting cut off.
>>719505049the Hollow Knight, not the Ghost bwoi'm talking about the cutscene where the Knight stumbles out of its chamber and runs into Hornet
>>719488074Trying the new zones in Turtle WoW, then going back to Metroid Prime 3 to prepare for Metroid Prime 4.
>all the anons ITT discussing lore>it all sounds really cool>tfw I never knew what was going on and just enjoyed bopping bugs on the headDamn
>>719505860That's fine, little knight probably wasn't thinking much either. As long as you appreciated the simple moments like sitting with Quirrell or listening to the singer's song, you're on track.
>>719505860one of the benefits of soulsshit storytelling is that it only exists as much as you want it to which is particularly suited for non-linear games
>>719505860I was in the same boat until 3 days ago. The lore here is a Rollercoaster just like kingdom hearts. Definitely worth watching those videos essays
>>719502304Hollow Knight is literally 7.5gb. It'll take all of three minutes to download Silksong unless you literally live in brazil
>>719466589>Silksong>Cronos New Dawn>Silent Hill FSeptember is the month of kino girl protagonists.
>>719505973Nta but it's not that simple. There will be thousands of people trying to access steam servers to download the files. Unless we can pre download, there will be traffic making your download slow.
>>719505963it's would be so funny if silksong dumps all the lore accumulated up until now into a landfill and has nothing to do with hallownest and makes hornet void
>>719504608One last silkpost for the road
>>719505954this isnt really like souls-shit storytelling where everything is grand and vague desuThe events in hollow knight are actually properly described, specific events. Everyone knows about this, and i got most of it after having just played once. You can still ignore it if you want
>>719506071do we know when it releases precisely? I'll probably be at work during it
>>71950650814:00 UTC
>>719505834Why wouldnt he be able to move, he is alive while radiance was sealed in him right? But I have no idea who freed him from his chains.
>>719506508I'm 99% sure it launches midnight on Wednesday. Last week on Thursday it said 6 days. If it was going to launch at like 12pm on Thursday, it would've said 7 days still.
>>719505723What is there to prefarm?
Why would anyone want to play silksong on release when there is no wiki yet?
>>719506624it's 10 AM EST thursday
>>719506798>playnah I just watch my favorite strimmer play my favorite franchise, shit will be so tight
>>719506842Who confirmed this?
Predict the concurrent player peak for Silksong on Steam.
>>7195070051.2mil
>>719506071Steam has had all of 5 major server outages in the past decade and every single one lasted less than ten minutes. And if they get slow for a tiny ass download it still won't make a difference. Somehow I think you'll be OK anon.
I wish I could have cool void powers in real life. I hate this gay ass reality
>>719504573leechblock
I hope the game is as nonlinear as the first one brosI loved when everyone just went off on their own directions early on after Greenpath/Mantis Claws
>>719505820Why do you want to play on a CRT exactly? Just for the kick of it?
>>719507005Pretty low (50k) to start since it releases in the morning on a weekday in the US, climbs to 100k+ by the weekend
>>71950700520 gorillion
>>719507365Hollow Knight has already managed to reach 70k concurrent in the past few days, and that's a 7 year old game.500k in the weekend, EASILY. It's literally Steam's most wishlisted game at 5 million wishlists.
>>719480697Grub song + grub elegy + deep focus is infinite hp
>>719507493How many of them are gonna beat it by then? I guess they could just jump ship
>>719507341Pretty much. I was originally planning on playing it on my OLED 'eck but I got this CRT a few days ago and thought it would be cool.
>>719507005Whatever it is, it will drop by 90% in a week.
>>719507317Falling into the spider shithole with the base nail and having to claw my way out was a major experience.I really look forward to going in blind on SS, I pray they can recapture that feeling.
>>719506636Armor Spheres and sets essentially. Also I never put my weapons to their last upgrades.
>>719506798Souless
lol
>>719508037shazamxisters don't look
>>719508037Hollow Knight got popular through word of mouth over the years, which is why it doesn't have a super high number of people playing at the same time.Silksong on the other hand...
>>719508037Seems legit.
>>719508037>SS gets announced after mass hype over 7 years>HK goes on saleI'm not surprised.
Are the bugs we encounter in white palace alive or?
>>719508464it was all a dream
>>719473004Try steady body. Eventually you won't need it but it's a good starting point for not hitting yourself into the pillars when attacking him
Just beat radiant Absolute Radiance, never have i seen so much bullshit in a bossfight. The amount of times a fucking orb just spawned on top of me is way too many.
>>719508239The trailer got over a million views in a single day. It's insanely delusional to think that this game isn't going to do well when it's reaching Elden Ring levels of hype. Fuck Silksong might have even surpassed Elden Ring on pure hype levels.
>>719509014Yeah. Aesthetically it's by far the best boss in the game but gameplay Radiance is kind of ass.
>>719509030>Elden Ring levelsI know you're excited but let's not get carried away here.
>>719509157>Aesthetically it's by far the best boss in the gameENTER
>>719509415I always wished Pure Vessel's fight was him before he got mindfuckedMaybe we'll get lucky in Silksong
>>719509415He's definitely a close 2nd but nothing can beat that pure ludo boss intro where the Radiance just grows out of the sun in the background.
>>719509030I think a 3d action game is much more appealing to the average normie, so the Elden Ring hype brought in a lot of newcomers to the souls series. Hollow Knight can only attract so many people to a 2d platformer game.
>>719509589Yeah, but Hollow Knight has the power of autism on its side.
>>719509507I think the NKG title and music combo is the best intro in the game, plus "Nightmare King" is a cool ass name.
>>719488826Dream No More is the only logical ending. They'll at best include certain elements from the rest if they even mention the original game again in Silksong. The Godmaster endings make the least sense of all as the knight just abandons its mission and just fucks around and conveniently still kills the Radiance.
>>719509792Fuck you aren't wrong. The way the title comes in synced with the blasting of the theme is really fucking great. Doesn't hurt that NKG has the best boss theme in the game.
>>719509902I can easily see the Pantheon ending being the one they lead from with the Knight being a boss fight later in the game as the abyss lord or some shit in his giant form shown against the Radiance. Knight becomes the ruler of the abyss and Hornet fucks off on her own before getting kidnapped.
Silksong is a prequel
Silksong is both a sequel and a prequel. You have yet to see their vision.
Do I have to beat the Godmaster and the Grimm stuff to understand the full lore before Silksong? I only bothered doing the standard endings.
>>719510393How would anyone know? Nobody has played Silksong yet.
>>719510393i'm going to say probably not, but i'd recommend playing it anyways, the dlcs have the best fights in the game, and if they are too hard just watch a video explaining shit
>>719510393the grimm content is worth doing. Its not a long sidequest and its fantastic godmaster is still worth checking out, theres many days for it, but definitely reasonable to skipAlso go for Grey Prince Zote and White Defender in case you havent yet
>>719510393Grimm Troupe is worth doing, but the Pantheon I wouldn't hard commit to. It's a bit of a ballbuster at the end.
>>719510393just watch the godmaster endings on youtube
>>719509501>I always wished Pure Vessel's fight was him before he got mindfuckedBut isnt that the entire point of the PV fight? Or do you mean him as a young vessel?
Silk Song has to be a prequel
>>719511004y
>>719510879I mean him fighting as a noble knight, and before he got brainrotted
>>719511021Just has to be.
>>719510393Unlikely. But you should do them anyway. It's more HK content, and it's fun. At least you should try to, until the Silksong release day.
>>719511036thats literally what PV is you DUMMY
>>719511179I wanted to do the Grimm stuff but I tried the boss rushes and got bored very fast. Plus I remembered now I didn't beat the Hive boss and a few other things here and there.Time is getting really tight for me due to IRL shit right now and I wanted to play Silksong near the release.
>>719511067
>>719511586Why are you gas-lighting me, he fights like a flailing zombie with extra light nukes
>>719510393Just watch a YT video...
It's a midquel that takes place after the Hornet 2 battle but before the end.
>>719511727well the pure vessel was never really less mind fucked than in that state. he was always just a semi hollow nigga, he just grew up and got trained in combat/sawblades
>>719511727What makes you think the HK was EVER some noble and regal knight? Nothing ever even slightly hints towards that.
>Challenge Steel Soul mode! Once you conquer the kingdom, test your skills in a new mode that presents a more formidable challenge.Are they just doing steel soul again? I was thinking they would maybe go for a new kind of hardmodebut i guess its nice for it to only have 1 difficulty
>>719511880I hope not cause my biggest issue with HK is how unfun and tryhard all it's supposed challenge modes are. Well outside of Path of Pain. That's kino. Pantheons aren't fun and Steel Soul modes also aren't fun so I hope they changed it to be a little less autistic this time. I want a reasonable and engaging challenge that isn't just cock and ball torture like in HK.
>>719511989>Steel Soul modes also aren't fun steel soul was pretty fun for one playthroughIts not one of these games where you can die from a small sequence of mistakes, you need lots of hitsBut somehow the wording of that makes me think its something more effortful than permadeath
>>719511727the reality of the situation is that team cherry didn't want to reanimate a whole new boss fight for the hollow knight, so they just added a few moves and changed his colors a bit, but that fight is still supposed to be him in his prime
>>719499067CherryGODs....I fucking kneel.....
>>719512083I managed to do it I just didn't think it was a particularly interesting challenge since nothing actually changed so you're essentially just playing the same game you already did but super cautiously. There are countless ways they could have done a challenge mode that wasn't just "slap perma death on and call it a day". Same issue with the pantheons, they're challenges but in the most boring and uninteresting way imaginable. They weren't awful but they could have been so much better. Hence why I hope they're handled differently in Silksong.
>>719512485i assume you mean the bindingsthe charm, hp, nail and soul bindings are interesting in isolation. Putting all bindings together is definitely interesting its just an absolute pain in the ass
>>719512485i think the speedrun achievements were pretty good challenges, fairly doable with time to spare
>>719512730I don't think any challenge that is basically just "lose all your progress when you fuck up" is interesting. Maybe it's just me but honestly gauntlets are never fun. It's just tedious. Let me restart instantly but make the actual bosses way harder like full one shot territory so you need to do everything PERFECTLY just don't make me lose up to hours of progress on fucking up. It's like how From basically removed the boss run up when in came to Elden Ring. That's basically what the challenge modes in Hollow Knight are. They're boss run ups extended.>>719512758Speed runs are always fun since it encourages you to be aggressive instead of overly cautious and fucking up and dying wasn't as annoying because you're playing in a high risk high reward manor.
>>719513114i think its interesting for HK specifically just because the game has a lot of variety, freedom on how to approach things, and the fact it takes many mistakes to die. Steel Soul in Dark Souls would have been terrible, for examplealright so what ideas for a hypothetical silksong hardmode?im thinking-occasionally harder enemy placements, maybe sometimes early game enemies show up first-merchant might try betraying you faster-tankier bosses like in Ascended, but no double damage? Weaker healing?-rewards moved around?
>>719448117there's something about this post that seems like it was made by AI but I can't put my finger on why.
Don't care, not pirating silksong until there's a benchwarp modHollow Knight has some of the most atrocious backtracking and fast travel placements in any metroidvania game
What are you guys gonna use to play Silksong? On Hollow Knight I did a playthrough on an arcade stick and it was really fun, really made all the jumping and pogoing feel good. I'm thinking of making my first run on that to see if it's comfortable with the new mechanics.
>>719513651The logitech f310 like always
>>719513280An increase aggression mode would be cool where enemies all have increased speed and reduced time between their attacks. Just like a general hard mode is all you'd need.
>>719447623>>719497682actually obsessed and mindbroken
>will be very busy for the next two weeks>won't be able to use any internet because i don't want to get spoiledit'll be hard time.
>>719510393>>719510626It seems like there will be more Godhome stuff in SS. But maybe not. The lore for both is basically nothing though. Grimm troupe is a bunch of freaks led by mega freak Grimm who go to crappy places and steal the remnants of souls. Most people in the troupe are enslaved. You can kill him and end the circus or perpetuate it.Godhome is a bunch of freaks who worshipped some ancient storm gods nobody gives a fuck about anymore and they came to Hallownest seeking a new god. Somehow ritual combat helps them attune to gods. The void eats them in both endings.

>>719491142Zote game could be super kino depending on how you did it>all the boss fights are quixotic delusions
>>719492709My bet is that he'll be the hidden superboss of the pantheon equivalent rather than being part of the main story.
>>719513280Here's a kino challenge run. Knight mode where you play through the entirety of Silksong but as the Knight instead of Hornet
>>719515846Yeah, I don't think he'll play a part in the main storyOptional superboss is fitting, let Silksong be Hornet's story
>>719493354Anon the void is an enemy of literally everything.
>>719515950Moth propaganda, the void is comfy
Let's delusion ourselves a little bit.What's you most wanted NEVER EVER in the game, i.e., something you really want to happen, but you're sure it won't.For me it's Silksong being a prequel/sidequel/sequel all at the same time. So the game would start somewhere before Hollow Knight, then you'd play though the event sof the first game then finnaly you get to Pharloom. That would be a cool prologue.
>>719515846I don't think a plot point so prominent will be relegated to mere optional DLC endgame. No, if Knight is involved, he will be at the core of the story, as the main threat. Void is too dangerous.
The first half of the game takes place before the first game, the entire middle you actually play what Hornet was doing DURING hollowknight. Then you play another 20 hours after the ending of HK1
>>719491419some do, like in white palace or vs radiance
>>719462165Or at least, it cuts off its escape route and remains sealed inside the Godmaster's mind.
I was raped.
>>719513114>I don't think any challenge that is basically just "lose all your progress when you fuck up"I wasn't big on the pantheons but loved doing the radiant bosses for that reason. The combat feels really tight with that little margin of error but a screwup isn't that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. Stuff like radiant sisters of battle was super fun because it took me a ton of time but even when I did finally clear it it was remarkable short and intense.I guess it's the difference between something being difficult in the sense of "half-hour attempts, 6 attempts to clear" and "2 minute attempts, 90 attempts to clear". Both could be considered equally difficult in a sense but I certainly enjoy the latter much more.
>>719516052The game's been in development for 7 years so I don't really know how to answer cause I have no idea where the realm of unrealistic lies.
>>719516052I don't want anything other for it to be a fun game. You weirdos who make wishlists for games that haven't come out are dooming yourselves for disappointment. Let the fucking dev make whatever they want, and if you like it then great. If not then move on.
>>719516538Absolutely 100% agree with you there.
Do you think the various sprites showing off Hornets body are a misguided attempt to make people less horny for her. Like going "guys looks it's just a stick don't be weird "
>>719516052Hornet having alternate cloaks with different effects that change all her sprites.I want hornet in a black cloak with white engravings for instance
>>719516610u mad bruh?i was talking about ideas so ridiculous we know are not gonna happen. no need to piss your panties.
There should be male bedbug enemies.
>>719516052I just want the equivalent of charms to be way more balancedI want to be able to swap to the meme-ier charms and still have them be practical
>>719516052>What's you most wanted NEVER EVER in the game, i.e., something you really want to happen, but you're sure it won't.hornet sex scene
Bros... these two weeks have felt longer than the entire half decade I waited for Silksong.
Hold on, we still don't know which of the endings is the lead up to Silksong?
>>719516052A NG+ like GRIME has where all enemies including bosses get new moves + exclusive NG+ content.
>>719517264three more days
>>719516052Extensive environmental changes that act as keylocks or the "get a better jump to reach this new area" thing.Think of opening the valves in the waterways to get the acid upgrade but on a larger scale, or The infected crossroads but done the other way around.
>>719517157>to the meme-ier charms and still have them be practicalThis is literally how it is in HK. The worst thing about the generic DPS charms is that it leads people to saying this shitHey just saying, if you get hit and heal 15 times with Thorns of Agony + Spore Shroom + Crest, you dealt 900 damage. You can combo this with any adjacent bullshit like stalwart shell and baldurWant something less retarded and more widely applicable? Weaversong + Grubsong is passive damage and soul gainIf you dont like Elegy you can turn it off at any time. Including when using it with Fury of the Fallenthe only truly irredeemably shit charms are Heavy Blow and, worst of all, Glowing Womb
>>719490718I wonder how many people took this screen shot
>>719517837I worry it won't feel as kino not being a mute little dude meeting these travelling NPCs
>>719516052Silksong being a sequel to the vanilla ending, just because it is my favorite of them all.
>>719490718>>719517837Its a shame we will never got something like this in silksong because the kingdom is alive and the main plot is hornet saving it
>>719517747oh yeah some others- with Quick Focus, you heal in 0.844 seconds. with Stalwart Shell, you are invulnerable for 0.175 seconds and only stunned in the recoil for 0.08.- Flukenest is arguably a downgrade if youre very skilled (bar speedrunning) or against specific bosses, but it replaces your shade blast with a really convenient easy shotgun for anything that stands still and you can pre-place it before shit spawns
>>719517747Anon the issue is those charms don't have any real synergy with each other meaning that when it comes to the end of the game with all your notches. You're going to be using the generic DPS ones because there is literally no reason not to beyond being a contrarian or wanting to mix things up after using the generic ones enough.
>>719517884theres an option for turning off hornets' voice at least>>719517998correction: stalwart makes you invulnerable 1.75 seconds
>3 more days of waging before I get my dopamine fix
>>719517884it will be interesting having an actual character talking to npcs, specially since hornet is kind of a sassy bitch.
>>719518008>Anon the issue is those charms don't have any real synergy with each otheryou literally have no idea what youre talking about>You're going to be using the generic DPS ones because there is literally no reason not to beyond being a contrarian or wanting to mix things up after using the generic ones enough.i was talking about silly shit, but this is actually wrongIf people were more aware of crutchy charms like Quick Focus, Baldur Shell, etc, and didnt always go for full DPS charms, then almost nobody would unironically struggle with the pantheon of hallownest. If you genuinely dont get any benefit from some of the sillier charms, its because you are good and consistent enough at the game. And if youre that good, then you dont struggle with P5 in the first place, in fact you probably dont even need charms for it at all. And thats not true, is it?its true for me of course
OP is a schizo btw.
>>719518169I'm looking forward to it, I have 'dead kingdom where everyone is fucked' fatigue
>>719516052End of the game unlocks the entire old HK map with new enemies, bosses, and extended post-game.
>>719518231when is op not?
>>719517837I think I only took one with him by the lake, but I remember I sat in this screen for a long while just listening to the music and the rain
>>719518186man, that shit must have taken like two hours.
>>719518231That just the dumbledore meme
give it to me straight broshow likely is it?
>>719518186It's an issue of the game's healing system. Your soul being tied to how many times you hit an enemy generally means that the best way to be safe is to have quick nail and long nail and get a bunch of hits in so you have more soul which means more healing so the best way to play HK for most people was a good offence is the best defence kind of way. I'm genuinely really glad Silksong split healing and spell usage into different bars since it means you can have your offensive and defensive capabilities be separate and hopefully something you can spec into to really flesh out your options for differing effects.
>>719518428honest to god i really think they could have a romance sidequest with Lace, similar to advancing Zote's storyline or something
>>719518008>Anon the issue is those charms don't have any real synergy with each other meaning that when it comes to the end of the game with all your notchesyou are an absolute dummy
>>719517965>and the main plot is hornet saving it>inb4 she actually destroys itHallownest is the first and only civilisation inshallah
>>719518629forgot pic>>719518523there are other ways to get soul, there are ways to tankim not saying its the best variety in the world, or that quick slash isnt by far the most overpowered charm in the game, but that doesnt change the fact theres plenty of other charm combinations that (you) would be massively benefitting from if QS, Strength and Shaman Stone werent in the game
>>719495717Someone else compared it to dark souls which I think is apt. But hollow knight succeeds where souls fails, because HK still has life, and glimmers of hope in the detritus.Souls is just mega depression faggotry where everyone dies
>>719518835>ut hollow knight succeeds where souls fails, because HK still has life, and glimmers of hope in the detritus.>Souls is just mega depression faggotry where everyone diesdid you even play souls?Im not sure how it is for the new souls games, but theres hope around in DS1 and DS2. Sometimes it ends bad, sometimes its a happy ending. Sometimes your decisions can affect whether its one or the other
>>719477214That's basically what Bug Fables did, they even lampshade that it sounds like they're going to steal your money.
>>719477214>the bank is legit>but as things get worse in Pharloom there's a run on the bank and you still lose all your money
>Hallownest citizens are infected with the Raciance thingy>Knight kills them because they’ve become murder hobos.What’s Hornet’s excuse? Is she just going on a killing spree for fun?
>>719519246>What’s Hornet’s excuse?Whatever reason they have for attacking her.
soon™
>>719477214>>719518663>Farloom has a completely legit banking system>Hornet somehow destroys the economy and all her savings are lost
I'm a sucker for the "upgrade the town over the course of the game" mechanics, i hope you can do that in silksong
>>719519246Hopefully. If they don't like being killed then they should just get gud.
I beat radiant oblobbles!
the slowest 76 hours of my fucking lifeFUCK
>>719519405Hope you like doing that to multiple towns lmao
We just need to wait.
fuck i love aimless wandering and not knowing where the fuck to go or what to do
I'm really looking to the OST, even just that sample of the lace theme uploaded years ago is enough to get me hyped.
>>719519813this but ironically
>>719519405>little hub area gets more lively as you progress and meet new NPCs Always kino also sad when by the end everyone moves on or dies
I hope Hornet gets birthing charms like the Knight had
>>719519854>Final area is the comfy starter hub area but it's trashed and broken and the big bad has taken it over so you have to take it back
>September 4 launch date>Steam says 3 days remainingIs it September 4 in Aussieland?So we get it in September 3rd?
>>719447491i'd definitely want Hollow Knight: The Hollow Knight over a zote game or whatever, dude is way more interesting
>>719519813Unironically. I found so many optional bosses and rewards just wandering around like a headless chicken.
>>719519813
>>71951996310 AM EST september 4. steam says 3 days cause it's 3 days and 13 hours or something
I just remembered how fucking lame the dream warriors wereI hope they don't do that again
>>719520110I mean they were literally kickstarted backer OCs.
do you think someone over at netflix HQ is trying to get a hollow knight: animated series started?
>>719519989I hope he makes an appearance if it's a true sequel and he at least gets a hug from his sister.
>>719520209>Silksong gets a Netflix adaptation
>>719447491Somehow you can tell that this art was made by a gook
>tfw it's a prequel and we won't get to see the hollow knight or the vessel or anyone else we care about other than Hornet.
>>719520426my ebony qveen
>>719520474i don't see any NTR or uglybastard smegma dicks in it though?
>>719519335>sidequest where you short silkstocks and crash the market.
>>719520510It being a prequel would be literally the only possible way this game could suck.
>>719519813What years of quest icons does to a mfer
>>719519813I want Deepnest 2.0. I want to fall into some dark cesspit and have to tough it out.
>>719520510>>719520949Yeah it being a prequel would be the worst case scenario.
I am curious about the quest system they teased in the first trailer, they didn't mention it in the latest one, maybe they dropped the idea? Worst case scenario the quest just puts an icon on the map for you to go and fight something. I hope they give a vague description of what you have to do and it doesn't always involve fighting.
>>719517837
>>719521250H-he's gonna show up in Silksong? Right Quirrelbros?
>>719521051Real question:How could they ever reach the level of something like Deepnest or City of Tears again?Repeating those would be lame and coming up with more good ideas gets harder over time.
>>719521350That coral reef looking area looks really cool
>>719510830It has a great boss, music, vibe and aesthetics, but lets not kid ourselves, you're just following a map for most of it to fight some mediocre enemies.
>>719498008i think the single biggest undeniable tell that the knight is no longer hollow is that nosk takes hornet's shape in godhomein deepnest it clones the knight because the knight lacks any connections at that time, but during the events of the game it grows an attachment to hornet and thus falls into the same trap the original hollow knight did
>>719521407Grimm is a lot better if you do it while playing the game instead of after everything else, unfortunately it's really fucking hard to find naturally.
>>719521350deep nest lacked an actual boss, so SS can easily top it
>>719521631Nosk bros...
>>719521447huh... that's a pretty interesting read into the winged nosk reveal, probably the only good thing to came out of that fight.
>>719521407the normal enemies are fun unless youre being a pleb doing nothing but attacking with the nail and not even using arts, but yes theres not much to the quest>>719521465yeah thats how i did it>>719513859that would be cool but also seems possibly very unfeasible or annoyingIt would also go into the territory of making all of the fanbase consider it to be the 'real game', which i dont think is good for an adventurey game of this style
>>719518169TC even said way back that this new dimension made writing the npc conversations more challenging. It'll be cool to see Hornet actually react to shit. Her dialogue in Hollow Knight struck me as stiff and no-nonsense, which is perfect to contrast against a bunch of strange personalities.
>wake up>can't buy it yetit's over
>>719522782just 4 more wakeups to go
>>719522782we just have to wait
>>719447491What did this guy even do besides get thrown into the egg temple
>>719522908be the two kinoest bossfights
>>719522908>>719522987actually, now i remember he did successfuly contain the infection for a pretty great while. people made statues of him and shitonly later the cracks started showing
>>719509589thats true, but on the other hand, elden ring had a high hardware requirement and its $70. SS can run on potatoes and its $20, thats a very big gamechanger
