>taking 6 years to make a game that's indistinguishable from the firsthuh?
are shitskins just naturally blind? would explain why they get ran over by trains
>>719481989It was a fuckin stretch goal. Typical Kikestarter behaviour.
it's an iterative sequel but that doesn't mean it's indistinguishable
>>719481989They literally don't care
>>719482039DON'T CALL ME BLIND YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE THEY ARE THE SAME GAME
>>719481989I honestly hope so. The first game was 10/10.
>>719481989TOTK Syndrome
>>719481989I genuinely have no idea why people were so hyped for this to begin with, or what they saw in the first one. I played maybe 4 or 5 hours of it before getting bored. The art style is probably its only strength, but I personally find it ugly as I do with all of Tim Burton's films. The gameplay was shit, there are much better Metroidvanias and much better 2D Soulslikes.
>>719481989>make a major hit>instead of crunching the team they took their fair time to make the sequelam I... supposed to be mad? oooh they weren't married to the job and sleeping in the office I'm so angry now or something
You can't tell me this shit isn't being astroturfed to hell and backYou're telling me twitter normies and twitch niggers were all THIS desperate for some peepee poopoo metroidvania?Keep in mind that the original was played by what, like 20k people max?
Hey guys. I don't have any bait to post, but can I get some free (you)s too?
>>719482243>there are much better Metroidvanias and much better 2D Soulslikes.name them
>>719482342normies just want to 'get in' on the current trendthat's why they're all excited for it
/v/ mindbroken by three ausfags with inifinite money and time.
>>719482342It has from the start. Its a tranny discord that has been spamming for years, probably friends with the dev or something.
>>71948234215 million sales btw
>>719481989What's worse is you're playing a boring replacement with a lame needle and thread weapon that already got defeated multiple times by the superior and cooler knight character. It would have been better if you could have made your own character or something. She should have just been a DLC thing like it was originally supposed to be honestly.
>>719482342I love it when AAA niggers are so confused about a 2D platformer being so popular lmaoJust wait 4 more days lil man
>making a good game againhow is that a bad thing?
>>7194824619 SolsRabi Ribi Ender something ratherIdk I’ve only actually played Hollow Knight Rain World is better
>>719482342Yea the hype for this game feels extremely fucking fake. Especially if you see that it's shilled hard by Geoff and Schreier.
>>719482243>>719482748>there are much better Metroidvanias>I haven't played any, but there must be better ones!lollmao
>>719482748I wouldn't even compare 9S to HK since they're so vastly different, as far as games in loosely in the same genre go
>>719482882this desu. they're both 10/10 experiences for me but for different reasons
>>719481989It's so derivative, it should have taken 3 years TOPS. It's like they spent 3 years making the game and then 3 years jacking off>>719482214This one too
>>719482342Okay indie dev, whats the name of your game called. I'll give it a pity buy.
>>719482342It's driven entirely by reddit. They glaze this faggot dev so much they're unironically whining about the game being too cheap.https://www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnightMemes/comments/1n4u05g/no_team_cherry/?sort=top>NOOO YOU CAN'T JUST LINK REDDIT!Reddit game.
>>719483749Anon that's a meme sub.
>>719483749Yeah because that totally isn't a joke is 100% serious you sperg
>everyone glazes hollow knight>fall for the meme and decide to give it a try>it's bapanada as fucknot falling for it again
>>719484224are you SHAW about that?
>>719482214TotK was 99% recycled assets from BotW, Silksong has little to no recycled assets from Hollow Knight.TotK was also made by a much bigger dev, and cost $70.
>>719482342IT'S THE MOST WISHLISTED GAME ON STEAM YOU DUMB FAGGOT FROGNIGGER
>>719484418Lmao deluded nigger
>>719481989They weren't in any rush. They wanted to milk the attention it was getting for taking so long.If it came out 3 years ago nobody would be talking about the company.It was all marketing.
>>719484517>no argumentnever reproduce
>>719484264Carlos, I swear to fucking god.
>>719484565samefag spammer
>>719484636sorry dick is too deep down your throat
>>719481989how would zoomers even know what hollow knight is? its like a decade old. shit makes no sense.
Most of players from 3rd world countries, especially from ukraine.
I'm stuck on Pantheon 5 bros... I keep dying to Markoth, Pure Vessel, and Absolute Radiance... I'm losing hope...
>>719481989You know if they changed it too much people would bitch and moan about how they messed with perfection. Seriously you retards can never be happy.
>>719484793just learn the bosses by doing their hitless challenge, ezpz
>>719484224don't lust for another man's wifedon't lust for another man's wifedon't lust for another man's wifedon't lust for another man's wife

>>719481989SEX WITH MY GIRLFRIEND (male), PHANTOM, WHILST HORNET WATCHES.
>>719481989"Hollow Knight, but more of it" is literally all most people wanted out of Silksong.
>>719485334Unironically this. I struggled with pantheon 4 at Pure Vessel, so i just backed out and practiced him in the hall until I could beat his Radiant fight twice in a row. Blasted right through the pantheon afterwards. Letting you refight every boss individually outside of the pantheons was a godsend.
>>719482342>frogposter >abhorrently retarded opinionLiterally, literally every single time
>>719482540>>719484478That's nice. Why didn't anyone play the original though? Why does a game sell more than all but 3 games released in the past decade and never once appear remotely visible in player charts on any platform?Reminds me of before Mount & Blade 2 released, with peak Mount & Blade hysteria across the globe, everyone widely praising Mount & Blade, yet nobody fucking played it. Every rag, every poster, all shouting its praise, yet it was an obscure game with no players. That's Silksong right now, except a ton of people ended up with a copy of the first game this time yet still didn't play it.I actually feel bad for the people who liked Hollow Knight because they're being coopted by bandwagoners to act like they're in on some cool happening.
>>719481989Dragon's Dogma toke more years and it's a straight downgrade.
>>719488128>Why didn't anyone play the original though? What the FUCK are you talking about, retard?
>>719483749>Look at joke sub>Get angry about a jokelmao fucking pajeets
>>719485334I can beat each boss on their own no problem I just get so nervous during the boss rush.
>>719488252Well yes, because current day Capcom can only produce shittier versions of their own series today.It's happened with all their main series: Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Monster Hunter
>>719488480Or Dino Crisis.
>>719482243>The gameplay was shit, there are much better MetroidvaniasFuck metroidvanias there are flat out BETTER GAMES
>>719488395I didn't say doing them on their own, I said hitless.If you can beat a boss without getting hit you're going to be able to beat them in the pantheon on pure reflexes.Being nervous isn't a problem when your body acts on it's own.
>>719488128>Why does a game sell more than all but 3 games released in the past decade and never once appear remotely visible in player charts on any platform?the game had 5-15k concurrent players for several years straightIf your singleplayer game with low replay value manages to stay at 10~k concurrent players for an entire decade straight, that means it didnt stop selling. The more time went on the more other indieshit metroidvanias completely failed to compete with the huge quality package that HK was, while being practically always more expensive, so naturally HK kept getting popularfor comparison it had like 3~ million sales in 2019, which was amazing but nothing out of this world. But then it kept at 15~k players for 7 years after and it kept growing its review count at the same rate as it was when it released its big free content packs and had its initial big popularity spike
>>719482748>I haven't played them but they're definitely betterThe absolute state of this fucking board
>>719482968>both 10/10s for me for different reasonsim willing to bet the reason one of those is a 10/10 to you is 'i havent played sekiro'
>>719488128>HK sold 15 million copies>shazam trannies literally just have to close their eyes and go "LA LA LA I CANT HEAR YOU" and pretend to themselves that nobody played itgrim.
>>719489398What the fuck does Sekiro have to do with a 2D metroidvania?
>>719483858>>719488312You're tripping balls on copium. Look at any reddit thread discussing the price>OMAGAW THIS IS LIKE THE GREATEST VIDEO GAME MADE IN HUMAN HISTORY AND TEAM CHERRY ARE THE MOST BENEVOLENT SAINTS IN THE UNIVERSE THIS BASIC ASS INDIE GAME SHOULD COST MORE THAN OTHER INDIE CONTEMPORARIES BECAUSE I'M A RETARDED GLAZING FANBOY BUT WE'VE BEEN GRACED BY SAINTLY CHERRY GENEROUSIRYThis dogshit game is peak reddit. Everyone shilling it here should be hung up from lamp posts by their entrails.
>>719481989Haven't played Hollow Knight, but what's wrong with a sequel delivering more of the first game?
>>719488128man AAA niggercattle are something else
>>719482342Kek. I like how shit like Ass creed shadows had actual shill threads and you guys downplayed it but a game with real anticipation has people claiming it's fake hype
>>719489620a. the fact that most of nine sols' combat was taken from sekiro, and thats most of what nine sols has going for it in terms of gameplayb. the fact the entire defensive and enemy side of 9s is mostly just a shallower version of sekiro (but the talismans and jades are cool)c. the fact nine sols has piles of mechanics that are just copying souls/sekiro except poorly or in a way that doesnt fit the game d. the fact nine sols is so much less of a metroidvania than a straightforward action game (guess what sekiro is) (except sekiro has a much cooler world and unironically more branching progression)
>>719481989i regfuse to bleiveve anyo be acutlaly bleicevs this h shti
Imagine being a shazamfag and having literally nothing else to do but spam a taiwanese rhizome cultivation forum in the vain hope that it will cause a bug game to flop
>>719489629I'm sorry you don't understand humor.Get well soon.
>>719489629>browses reddit>links to reddit>screams about redditholy schizophrenia
>20k player peak day after announcement>steadily and consistently rose since then>70k peak todayDoesn’t even take into account people like me who don’t feel like replaying it
Not the first timeAlso, Silksong is way more different than the asset flip of Totk
>>719490360>implying most of them are replayingThey're all huge Hollow Knight fans excited to play the game for the first time so they can jump on the social bandwagon.
Man can you imagine if there was an Ori 3 coming out right now. All these seething niggers would be praising that game instead
I bet you're wondering how I got into this mess
>>719490360i started replaying since haven't played since '19. game is still as kino as ever, but theres no way im gonna go do any pantheon shit
>>719489848anon who do you think is behind the coordinated efforts to downplay the achievements of developers outside the traditional publishing structure
>>719489745AAA niggers are confused by people looking forward to the first sequel for a game they liked while ridiculing Ubisoft or Activision for releasing the same game twenty times for the past 15 years
>>719481989see also: TOTK, Overwatch 2
>>719481989Be honest with me. Will the quest system ruin this game /v/ros?
>>719491858that might be scrapped

This time the bug is sexo
>>719481989>>719482342>>719483169anti-hollow shills are like fascists in that they need to completely make shit up just to have something to base their arguments on
You guys lied to meI was told that this series was peakBut whenever a streamer plays it, their CCV continues to go downWhat gives?

>>719492682How is talking about hollowknight being unpopular /vt/?
I'm glad I pirated the first one years ago and I won't even bother with this one. Because it always comes up, I actually like video games, and I hate marketer invented argument threads here are a bunch of actually good games to detail the thread:la mulanaaxiom verge (not 2 though)am2rlyle in cube sectorthe early momodora gamescastelvania IIenvironmental station alphacave storyijikyntt seriesabuseguacameleethere, plenty of other things to play that aren't kickstarter meme trash cash ins

>>719482039I saw one where two kids were jumping off a moving train and one tripped on something resulting in him being cut in half.It was brutal.
>>719494482is this a recent new record?
>>719494894yes, from a couple hours agoit’s been reaching new peak player counts almost daily since the announcement
>>719481989You all pretend the games industry is too focused on graphics over gameplay yet a sequel comes out that (accounting for inflation) literally costs LESS than the first game and all you fags can talk about is that it's not graphically more impressive
>>719494894from a few hours ago
>>719494540>no true scotsmanask about any of them, I played and cleared them all. they're f u n. except for knytt, that's kinda boring but it's very a r t s y
>>719494540also fuck you google ain't even heard of kyle in cube sector you bitch fuck marketer cuck whore
>>719488585Metroidvania is a platformer+puzzles+secrets+nonlinearIf you don't enjoy backtracking and exploration that's fine but that doesn't make it a bad genre. grow up. dichotomy is a sign of childishness and autism.
>>719482039You are from pakistan
>>719495542saar got triggered lmfao :DD
>>719482748Nine Sols and rabi ribi could be arguably better than hollow knight. Ender Lilies however despite me trying my hardest to enjoy it was 100% a shit game. Clunky slow movement and combat shit. It was less dynamic than nine sols as a parryslop game. I really love cunny games but I dropped it midway. Too easy, the combat was boring as fuck and the kirby system had barely any creative uses. It was just cosmeticAmazing vibes though but it's a game not an anime or movie. I really liked how the little girl would belly flop to dodge, it added a nice touch of cuteness and vulnerability so you really feel like it's a little girl. I liked seeing something similar in Nano Apostle too, but I digress.
>>719493230hey, i didnt say i didnt like nine sols. its a pretty good gamei just dont find anybody who thinks its a 10/10 that has played sekiro, either before or afterwards
>>719490096Nine Sols chads in support of Silksong
>>719482039kek
>>719498207we're in the metroidvania golden age
>>719481989>indistinguishablehuh?
It's over.
>>719489629imagine being so low iq fucking reddit flies over your head
>>719494424Hows momodora 3? I only know 4 and 5 which are soulslop.Wheres Rabi ribi Tevi and Valdis story? Those fucking kino.
>>719481989I can distinguish. This one's head is a tuning fork.
>>719489580not to mention that it has like 60k-70k players on Steam right now and they selectively forget that Silksong is the most wishlisted game on Steam for several years now
>>719495961Ender loli is way better than youre describing
>>719498207>>719498461Correct!
>>719481989>6-7 years in development>zoomers in that time have still only played 1 metroidvania, HK, which they declare is the best>disagree or argue with them and you get downvoted to hell Why is literally impossible to get zoomers to play their 2nd metroidvania?

Soulslop bros...Not like this...
>>719501250go back retard
Iselda...
>>719498207>>719498461I now Silksong won't have as great as a final boss as Nine Sols, so lowering expectations for me to enjoy it is ideal.
>>719505826I want to give nine sols another chance after bouncing off it a while ago but I also don't want to ruin my appetite before silksong, I'll put it on the long finger
>>719506280I get that. I know when I first played nine sols months ago, I found the first half "meh" almost dropped it. When the hook finally hit, I wanted to 100% the game.But even with that said, I look forward to silksong.
