This is proof that the portal to hell is closed and the world is healing

>>719523296Simultaneous global release or no? If it‘s staggered i‘m probably gonna pirate it so i can play earlier

>>719523296Actually fucked up. Now every good Nintendo game will be compared to this unfavorably.

No preorders confirmed
>cheaper than infinite EA indies>way more contentThe indie industry is in shambles
>>719523808The fags got replaced with bots that get paid a few cent to acf like fags so nothing changed

Even though I think the game was kinda overrated, I still think HK was good.I'm not that interested in playing the new one right now, but I guess I'll buy it just to support a good game that will have more fun content than nu AAA shit, and that it's also cheap.
>>719523460A super evil discord cabal will get leaked (with no user list or invite link) showing them orchestrating hate against the game
>>719523296What's the status on other indie games being delayed to avoid the Silksong window. Any anons up to date on such?
>20$>it's gonna be like a hundred bucks in my countryI hate being a thirdie
>>719523296I can't afford that
>>719523296>$20Holy based. Finally some reasonable prices.
>silksong comes out and is amazing, winning GOTY and setting /v/ on fire>silksong comes out and sucks, causing all the HKfags to mass ropeI dont know which is the funnier scenario

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOODAY 1 BUY
It's just a bigger Hollow Knight but I worry if they'll change it up enough in gameplay to not get boring. The worst thing this game can be is monotonous. Beating the 5th boss the same you beat the 30th boss isn't good game design.
>>719524048I prefer the scenario where i get a fun game to play.
>>719524048Don’t care about that anon, just enjoy video games
No price too great
>>719524001Who cares. Most of them were literal-whos
>>719523846FFFFFFFFAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGOOOOT
>>719524246no game too long
>>719523460Girl and Gay
>>719523296I'm still stuck af on HK. I've long ago forgotten any narrative hints I may have recieved and black barriers block my way to the boss icons I have a condign projected path to. I've got dash and triangle jump and the charge attack and a hadouken.
>>719523296NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOW WILL I JUSTIFY MY PRICES NOW? MY FUTURE?
SHAW
>>719523460it being so good is exactly why /v/ is going to seethe
>>719524746Wtf, chat is this terquilm?
>>719523846Its got to be like 20gb at most considering HK is under 10
>want to play this but no hollow knightanyone?
>>719524831Store page says 8 GB which is odd considering HK was 9 GB.They got better at compression maybe?
>>719523296dont care how little it cost. im pirating it.
>>719524948Don‘t blame you. Hollow knight was great when it came out but the movement is so boring
>>719523296no cost 2 gr8
>>719524720OOF
>>719524979Probably because in the trailer the backgrounds looked WAY more detailed and some were very animated
>cheap as fuck>7 years of building hype>available on every single platform at the same time>complete streamer baitThis game is going to sell retardedly well
>>719523460Women and brown people
>>719523296australian devs who won't even tell us the price in australiawhat's wrong with these self-hating australians man, have some pride
dont care, still pirating it
>>719525179my brother said he was getting this and he didn't seem interested in the original when i made him watch a trailer for it years ago
>>719525296poorfag in charge of not letting everyone know he's poor
>>719523460If you think about it, people are excited to play as a strong black woman for the first time.
>>719524001Little Witch Inna Woods is releasing on the 14thI don't care about any of the others
>>719525296they're releasing it on gog day1, devs dont gove a shit if you pirate it
>>719523460Silksong is only about 33% larger than Hollow Knight.
>>719525179>>complete streamer baitholy fuck you're mindbroken
>>719524009>It's on gogStop crying and get your state approved free copy
>>719523460>female protagonisti dont care, im not gay and wont play as a bitch
hollow knight bored the shit out of me so I won't be playing
>>719525408Is that hollow knight before or after updates
>>719525452Same...i'm sometimes tempted to give it another go but it really feels like it was beloved more as babby's first metroidvania by people with no expectations of the genre.
>>719523296>Radio silence for years while they cook>Announces game a few weeks before release>No pre-orders>No journo sneak peaks>No price mark-up compared to original (actually cheaper if you count in inflation)Absolutely based devs. It's not often I Day1 buy a game, but they got my cash
>only 20 bucksI feel like if Silk Song was $30 people wouldn't have batted an eye
>>719525521no cost too great
>>719525490Compared to base barebones Hollow Knight.
>>719524564Ignore the black barriers, you can't get through them until near the end of the game. Sounds like you should be near the point in the game when you fight the Mantis Lords, keep exploring until you get to the Mantis Village.
>>719525551aren't they planning to add more Silksong content?
>>719525408Hopefully pre DLC because I think Hollow Knight is too big.
>>719523296/v/ btfo
>>719525551That‘s pretty shit for 6 years of development ngl
>>719525572thx fren will check it out
>>719525082Ew wtf
>>719525576they are and pretty sure for free too
Do you really believe nebulous statements tossed out by Anonymous, just like that?
>>719523296>going out of town for the weekend on Friday evening
>>719525623Yeah.
>>719525521They'll likely get an order of magnitude more purchases as a result
>>719525680For what reason?
I liked hollow knight, but I can probably wait a little while on silksong so we get the inevitable six years of dlc like hk
>>719525623>he wants a 80 hour metroidvania
>>719525772family wedding
ADIDAS
>>719523296too little too late.it was supposed to be free DLC.
>>719525787No, I want a 200 hour metroidvania.
>>719525408source?
>>719525827>Guarana
>>719524048The former I guess. I don't really care about what's funny or not, I don't get joy from things failing or watching /v/ users scream like retards. I just want good games to play.
>>719525551That means it won't be bloated to hell.
>>719523296Still not playing it lmao
>>719525861
>>719525787After they‘ve made me wait 6 years, yes i fucking do. If you don‘t like long metroidvanias, why did you even like hollow knight
how am i supposed to play it? downloading 10GB takes 2 days for me
>>719525780Hollow knight got dlc for 1 year
>>719525861play the la mulana gamesother long ones are aeterna noctis and afterimage
>>719525863Trailers. Hollow Knight's said 140 enemies and 30 bosses, Silksong's said 200 enemies and 40 bosses.
>2025>still doing the cringe 'if you touch an enemy it hurts you' thing
>>719525987by waiting 2 days
>>719525987Sorry, preorders are somehow deemed evil so you won‘t be able to pre-load
>>719525623He is making shit up. How would he know how big the game is?
>>719526046just equip the longer nail charm mr fat fingers
>>719523296Who asked?
>>719523296Nice
>>719525576Still underwhelming.
a shitty 2D flash game absolutely mogging the entire industry for $20
>>719526008Did it, I never followed the game closely, I guess it was just silksong that was initially dlc before morphing into a full game that took this long?
>>719526021That was a smart way to count, I give it to you.
>>719526081>>719526021Unless you think the trailer is deliberately underselling its size by a massive amount.
>>719525736So why are there so many games even indies that are $30 or even more?
>>719526046That‘s why pop the lost crown and nine sols are so good. Contact damage is a shit way to make challenging enemies
>>719526203larger dev teams, massively increased costs of living ( american westcoast salaries )
>>719526176200 enemies is more than HK + all its DLCs, not base HK like you said.
>>719526176(it is)600+ enemies and 100+ bosses
>>719525520>Radio silence for years while they cookThem letting us know that everything is going as planned once a year or something would have been appreciated.
>>719526126Hollow knight released in 2017 and got its last dlc which was godhome in 2018. Then they worked on hornet dlc and turned that into a full game. Keep in mind that the dlcs were kickstarter stretchgoals that they were oblligated to make so i‘m not sure how it‘s gonna be with silksong but considering they‘ve already trademarked their next game after silksong i doubt we‘re getting years of dlc
>>719523460>whats /v/ going to seethe about nowFake sales, gamepass. Astroturfing. Trannies.
>>719526369>they‘ve already trademarked their next gamehuh?
>>719523296People call this generosity and I think in a literal sense that's true (Team Cherry views money as a method to survive and to fund game dev, not to horde), HOWEVER from a business perspective this is very very good.A lot of developers think they're "too good" for certain price points and that they have to charge $30+ to stay profitable, even though there's a massive fall-off in sales for indie devs at that pricepoint.By keeping it relatively cheap Silksong has a low barrier to entry, drastically increasing their potential fanbase and therefore word of mouth. They would have still made a lot of money from $30 and maybe even $40 but it would have been from the hardcore fans, not the "sure why not" crowd that makes up a huge chunk of the indie audience.
>>719526259But you said 20 bucks instead or 30 or more will be order of magnitude more. If thats true then these companies are losing money by charging $30+?
>>719526432https://gamerant.com/hollow-knight-fearless-fox-trademark-team-cherry/
>prices unfinished slop at 5 extra dollarsHis greed knows no bounds
>>719526441I get what you‘re saying but there is no chance that the price point they chose is the revenue-maximizing point
>>719525861>>719525787Hollow knight isn't 80 hours of metroidvania. It's 40h of it and 40h of boss rushes in godhome
>>719524168Bro it's 20 dollars shut the fuck up.
>>719526203Dumb expenditures that no one asked for. Point to a modern game and I could find 10s of things that could be cut with no consequence.
>>719526531>fearless fox furry kino next?
>>719526531>With Hollow Knight: Silksong sitting pretty as one of the most anticipated games of 2023kekarooif they release a furry game i shan't be playing btw
>>719526707They need to keep up with the competition.
>>719526531i think team cherry is going to become a publisher and this isnt actually their game
>>719526763Fearless fox about to btfo the fuck out of 9sols like the og hollow knight btfo ori
>>719526603Yeah, 25 was their optimal price point for max revenue.
>>719526680Marketing is more important for a product's success than the product itself.
is this the elden ring of indie games?
>>719523296Bros it's not fair...
SHAW!
>>719523296This game made other upcoming games KNEEL to it's presence that they were delayed. How does it do it?
>>719526920No, it's the GTA6 of indie games.
The best part about this is all the other faggot indie devs shitting their pants because Team Cherry just blew the status quo wide open.
>>719526959I like this kind of sabotage.
>>719525863It's a joke about the price increase
>>719526920It's the Hollow Knight of metroidvanias
>>719526920> Is __X__ the __Y__ of __Z__?
I never even bothered with the DLC for Hollow Knight because the base game is already too long. If Silksong is supposed to be 33% bigger, I can't see myself finishing it.
>>719524048You forgot if they course corrected on everything retarded and shitty about the first game, impacting their simps with schizophrenia when having to defend both
>>719525520>while they cookstopped reading, i fucking hate this new age zoomer lingo
>>719525420Leave the esl alone! He doesn't even understand he's retarded.
>>719526203How are their sales in comparison?
>possibly a great fucking sequel to a great game>cute female protagonist>the porn is already flowing like honey waterThis might be the greatest game of 2025 anons.Fellow bugfuckersFellow SilksongmaniacsWE FUCKING WON!I am gonna miss clownposting. it always made me think of cute outfits for her.
I have a couple of curiosities about the physical release. Will it be a game key for nintendo switch 2 or full game on cart?Will physicals be the same price tag of $19.99? Will physicals be a “forced collector’s edition” as the only option of obtaining it physically? Like what Baldur’s Gate III made you do if you only wanted the game but were forced to pay more than the standard msrp for extra collector stuff that you did not want. There are no answers as of now, just putting forth what I’m curious about. Going to be a fiery game launch
>>719523846It's overkill, but you can add money to your steam account to skip going through the payment process verification on launch day. Going the extra mile in case Visa/mastercard/etc. shit the bed.
>>719526203game prices are arbitrary
>>719527397>fantasizing about things that will never happenI know that you're an underage retard who probably doesn't play anything other than live service trash and AAA dogshit, but Hollow Knight was made by three dudes, and they made the game they wanted to make. 'Course correcting' is the province of soulless corporate garbage, not passion projects.
Is the dlc for HK worth going back for? I played it before they added anything
>>719527565Mad cap unc
>>719523296>No price listed for their home nationTraitors
>fast travel sort of sucked>many random npcs that lead to nothing, would be cool if they had quests with rewards or something>deepnest didn't have a main boss>more white palace/path of pain trials with actual rewards>game is a bit too easy for my likingSome personal complaints that I would like to see fixed in Silk Song. What would you like to see improved from Hollow Knight?
>>719523460It was fucked to drop it on the rest of the industry with 2 weeks notice.
>>719527863you misspelled based
>>719525408my 112% run took me 22 hoursSo you're saying the base 100% run is going to take me 29-30 hours?
>>719528052Zero chance you completed 112% in 22 hours without guides, tips, videos, not your first time or whatever.
>>719527821Combat and movement that's not boring dogshit would be cool. I can already see from the trailer that Hornet has a Peach hover, some sort of needle grappling hook, that placeable spike platform thing, and possibly some sort of Metroid/Castlevania super jump if it's not environmentally based so maybe it'll actually be fun to traverse the map this time
>>719523858Yeah I've been wondering why indie games are so expensive these days
>>719527801depends. it has some kino boss fights, the majority of the good boss fights in the game for sure since most in the base game kind of suck.i would say yes but possibly not till after you get bored with silksong because the pantheons will likely take quite a bit of time.
>her healing animation
>>719527397you can listen to criticism and change things without implying that the original game is bad. Blasphemous 1 and 2 are both great games despite 2 having a lot more movement options, which is a gripe some people had with 1.
>>719528386I played blind so I banished the troupe and didn't get the actual fight. Didn't bother doing Godhome cause the fighting/combat is one of the weaker aspects of HK overall and more of it didn't seem appealing.
>>719524720extra $10 for the coomer genie
More game than smelltarune for $5 less
>>719527801Depends on if you want to play through a bunch of boss rushes or not. That's what the DLC is infamous for, outside of that it's mostly a few new bosses and the Grim Troupe questline, which is fun but not worth replaying the entire game for imo.
>>719528172You're right, it was my second playthrough, 2 years after the first
>>719523460>hk was goodlollmao
>>719528286>Voice acting>Minigames>Animated MVs>Overly big sprites>5 movesets>Day 1 translationsThankfully the nail is just one moveset unlike other indies.
>>719523296I don't really care.>>719526959>noooo please don't sell me a game for relatively cheap!!!!!This shit pisses me off though. Actual consumerniggers advocating against their own interests.
>>719528882you know that guy is just clown farming, right?
>>719523296subsidized by the sawblade industrythe hollow king got our back
>>719528962Farming worthless things?
>>719523460Only the stronk womyn, otherwise it's perfect.
>>719524720switch fags already hold this series up with the $40-$60 games.
>>719528765Ok, now tell us your first time 112% completion.
>>719527565Yeah it's annoying.
>>719526978Literally nobody even knew about these literally-who games that were going to sell like 5 copies total, it's hardly an accomplishment.
>>719529017far from the dumbest shit people do on the internet
>10amBut I wanted to stay up until midnight
>>719525408Hollow Knight was too bloated to begin with.
I think $20 is the correct price and I hope a lot of inferior indie devs get really pissed at this. Their games should be like $5-10 on release and on sale for $2 after a year.
Why did the mods just snap the other Silksong thread
>>71952913622 hours, 22 minutes, 21 seconds.112% wasn't a thing when I first beat the game.
>>719529178Gotta hand it to them, nobody would have complained about it being 25 bucks and they knew it. They are turning down millions of USD because what I assume is an attempt to push back against rising game prises.
Is it known how many GB Silk Song is?
>>719529372the steam page says 8GB needed
>>719526959This is the kind of idiot who pays 300 bucks for a modded Game Boy Color just to play Pokémon.
>>719525680>leaving thursday night for a concert in philly then a wedding over the weekend Steamdeck coming in extremely handy
>>719523876VATEuropeans love hidden taxes, well so do Americans who voted for tariffs
Any opinions on this controller?I'm looking for one with a higher set D-pad to play Silksong on. I've seen mixed reviews on 8BitDo as a company. Any suggests for a good 2d game D pad controller?
>>719523296>Those randomly uknown timezonesPlease anons, help a boomer out, when does that game launches in GMT?
>>719529178>on sale for $2 after a yearYeah the amount of indie games that get 30% discounts years after release is staggering
>>719523371My thoughts exactly
>>719529401Base Hollow Knight has a requirement of 9GB right? Yet base Silk Song has about 10 more bosses and about 60 more enemies, comparing the 2 games trailers that is. Will Silk Song more compact or did the devs get better at compressing games?
>>719523296>No AUD listedAn embarrassment to the country
>>71952997499% of a game's storage space are textures and sounds.
Why does /v/ hate when people have fun playing popular games?
>>719529974Probably better at compressing since apparently they're one of the few competent indie studios. This happens with Nintendo games all the time with Switch ports having a smaller file size than the Wii U originals despite the Switch ports often having additional content.
>>719529803Help please
You DID do everything you wanted to do in Hollow Knight before Silksong releases, right?
>>719530339I did all those on the list and it wasn't even hard, I just used the "no damage" on cheatengine
>make a good game and sell it cheap>it sells well and makes you a millionaire>make a sequel and sell it cheap againlove to see ittotal AAA death
>>719528698>>719528386Ok that's a bit too much. I'll just watch a lore video before playing silk
Why won’t they allow preorders / preloads? Especially since we know the price. Deltarune was the same way.
>>719523296too much, will pirate instead
>>719529372>>719529401>>719529974>>719530115>>719530293The installed size for base Hollow Knight is around 7.4GB on PC. The 9GB requirement from the Steam page includes the DLC I'm guessing.
>>719523460Itll win more awards than an actual Metroid game at Geoff's awards and bugniggers will be insufferable for a decade about it
>>719530492Probably don't want people datamining absolutely everything pre launch
I’m going to bed, and when I wake up silksong will be 7 hours closer. you’re welcome
>>719530028ozzies get it for free, obviously
>>719526959It kind of sucks for us indie devs though because now people are gonna be like "wtf SilkSong was only $20 and it's a fucking AAA masterpiece, you're selling you're game for $15 but it's only half as good as silksong?!".
>>719523371You retarded? If this was true now it would have been true in 2017
>>719525408That's already too big.
>>719523296Pretty retarded of TC to put it on gamepass day 1, I don't know how much MS paid them but it must have been a lot because this would have sold like a million easy on the Xbox.
>>719523460popular = badcontrarian /v/ will find a way
>>719530598Is that possible? I guess I just assumed it wasn’t for whatever reason
>>719524009steam has regional pricing
Didn't buy the first one. I didn't have a reddit account but remember Path of Pain stage posted here: https://youtu.be/5hwelXoKHb8Might buy on first to respect the first game I never bought but listened to many times.
>>7195307711. Those indies are selling themselves at >$202. That’s a good thing, it pushes them to either make better games worth the price tag or cut their greed and price accordingly. If it’s priced at any more and not as good, then i’m not paying for it!
>>719523460Insufferable fanbase. Worse than bronies.
AIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEETENDIES, DON'T LOOK!!!
>>719530339Stopped on All Radiant Bosses. Felt good.
>>719530493There are fast food meals at McDonald's more expensive than that. You can make that money in a single work day.>>719530454>I cheated and it wasn't even hardUhhh... Okay?!
>>719530832According to an indie dev, Playstation and Xbox are where indie games go to die.
>>719523296that's a pretty good price point. as long as it doesn't have huge performance issues I probably won't even bother pirating first
>>719530339>modded bosses
>>719523460>only two weeks notice>such a low price for what appers to be a great game, changing the expectations for other indie gamesThe game will be good, but TC are a bunch of aussie bastards who dont care about true independent developers
>>719523296Man, they are going to sell shitloads
>Hollow Knight was released at a price of $14.99 in 2017, and the sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong, is releasing at a confirmed price of $19.99 in the United States. When adjusted for inflation, those who bought the first game in 2017 will find that the price of Silksong is nearly identical in real terms—Silksong costs only about $0.11 more than the original, after accounting for inflation. (perplexity.ai)
>>719531857But corporations said inflation is 80%?
>>719531795Around 5 million in the first month.

>>719531857Anyone who says adjusted for inflation is a moron fyi
>>719523296
>>719530771If we're very lucky, this will be a lesson in modesty for every game developer and publisher, including AAA ones, and put some breaks in the acceleration of prices.
>>719532335Yeah should be inflation-adjusted.
>>719523460Don't worry. There will be steamcharts threads every day when the player count is even slightly lower than it was on the previous day which is a clear sign that the game is garbage because no one is playing it anymore.

Man I am genuinely eager to see the bloodbath between Silksong and E33 fans over GOTY if Hornet lives up to all the hype. I'm just happy to be getting so much fun vidya this year.

>>719527728How lazy can people be to need to do that?
>>719533045I think it's more an issue of either Steam or payment processors getting slammed on the 4th and potentially shitting the bed.
I thought it was going to be at least $30. Even 40.
>>719523460Tried and true 'tranny fanbase' and probably outsource their bait threads from screencapping a redditor/twittertard saying something like pic related. >Why are people not satisfied with Silksong /v/???When this shit is going to make record profits and /v/ are full of old gassed boomers who unironically still think GTA6 is going to fail. >>719523296Good on them because god knows they could mark it as 49.99 and get away with it and their own fans would defend it. Gaming inflation is a fucking meme and Triple AAA marketing budgets are a waste of money
More like $12.
>>719533782>Not owning your games
>>719533831Shit's all digital now anyways. If I want a non-sub copy I can always pirate.
I started HK recently, 2 hours in, will I make it for the big day?
>>719533925No, because you are posting here faggot
Finally.....
>>719533749damn, this nigga posting from the future
>>719533925Yes but only if you close 4chan and actually play the game
>>719533984Thank you, proving a nigger from /g/ that he is wrong is all the motivation I needed
>>719533925You are already lost, you aren't supposed to play it in a hurry
If they didn't fix the prescriptive combat design, I'm out.
>>719532894Music and nice boss battles can help
>>719523296Wow so bigoted racist and sexist ugh you can't hold every developer to the standard of Team Cherry please do better
>>719533925Maybe. This represents two 100% playthroughs but I didn't do all of the DLC. You should be able to beat the game with the good ending in at least 20 hours.
>>719530598I just want a preorder, if steam's servers start shitting and farting like on steam sale first day I'm gonna flip
>>719523296Jesus Christ almightyThey are killing indie scum who ask 30-40$ for their 10$ games by selling their 40$ game for 20$
>>719533925It’s over bitch faggot trend hopper rusher
>>719523296if all they can sell it for is $20 that means they know the game is going to be a disappointment, its over
That's nice of them and they should receive kudos for not being greedy when they can afford not to be. Still it's an extremely unique case.>operating out of Australia is cheap as fuck>their overhead and staff costs are extremely small because there's like 5 people in the team working out of a shoebox>the profit margin of Hollow Knight is astronomical because it cost comparatively so little to make for how much it brought inI guess the only dev team that should feel called out is the Factorio guys for raising it to $35 at this point.
>>719525408I already think Hollow Knight is too fucking big so that's FINE.
>>719534863How is it too fucking big when it clearly could use at least five more areas
>>719534915Silksong's meme game is too strong
>>719523296Surprisingly 10 dollars less than what I predicted. Makes me wonder if some kind of catch is involved.
>>719534892I don't know how anyone can possibly think this beyond just wanting more Hollow Knight. I enjoyed Hollow Knight but it is easily one of the most expansive metroidvanias I have ever played. Despite the absolute fucking size of the map, they still managed to pack it with plenty of shit to do and find. I genuinely believe it does not need to be any larger in size or even more significant in content.
>>719534915>GET IN THE FUCKING ROBOT LITTLE GHOST

>>719535149It's $16. Works for me as I'll be getting it from the japanese eshop.
>>719533925Game is not supposed to be rushed.Take your time and stopped falling for FOMO.Silksong wont disappear from stores if you don't buy it on launch.
>>719534208I was aiming for 112% completion while waiting for Silksong but nightmare Grimm filtered me
unrelated but i need to get this out of my chestHOW THE FUCK DO YOU BEAT THE 4TH PANTHEON OH MY GOD I FUCKING HATE THE PURE VESSELI'VE BEATEN HIS SKINNY FUCKING ASS 6 TIMES ALREADY AND I'M STILL LOSING TO HIM EVERY SINGLE TIME I GET TO HIS FIGHT ON A PANTHEON RUN.
>>719534915IMAGINE BOTH OF THEM SUCKING YER WILLY
>>719535469you can go for the alternative ending where you simply vanish grimm's crew on a side quest, it completely avoids doing nightmare grimm's fight
>>719535038The catch is that they are like 3 guys who already made 100 million with their first game.
>>719535241Wait what? Dropped.
>>719535476It's almost inhumanly difficult to be on top of your game for that fucking long. That's really all there is to it.
Been a few years since I beat Hollow Knight. I'm not a lorefag at all and only recall the basic vague gyst of the story. Is there anything I need to remember about the story starting Silksong? What even happens to her in the end of HK? What ending is "canon?" Does it even matter? Probably not, right?
>>719535613"All endings are equally canon" was said by the devs at one point.Though I'm not sure about the sealed siblings ending where HK and Hornet get trapped in the black egg.
>>719523460I saw a thread complaining about the price being 20 dollars last night.
>>719524009day one on goypassit's also on gog (so it's free)wagmi 3rdie bro

>>719535476Once you "get" Pure Vessel he's basically just slightly harder than NKG. Once I got to a point of skill where I could reach AbsRad consistently; Markoth, Zote, and Failed Champion proved a problem more often.

>>719523460Too short
>>719523654They'll point to speedruns, and be like >Heh, the game is only 5 minutes long, indietards btfo
>>719523831the kike industry needs gta6 to succeed, meanwhile quality indies coming out at low prices also puts at risk of ridiculing the indie cartel that has been growing the last few years around niggers like johnny blowjob and the hades 1/2 faggots
>>719536150Good
>>719523460"other" indie devs are false flagging(jews) cause they dont like the price
This thread reads like a fucking discord chat and gaming subreddit, you're all a bunch of indieslop loving faggots
>>719536270obsessed lol
>>719523460It’ll be nothing be peak contrarianism. Mostly figuring out some way to say all the threads will be because Team Cherry hired jeets or chinks to shill. Since Hornet is a w-w-woman probably mad if she girl bosses some NPC in the game or is show shows up John Hollow Knight if he shows up in the game. That are some glade flag culture war shit about an unconfirmed troon character or some pro immigration meme. You don’t understand what having no job/life/friends does to a nigga. These people will do it for the love of the game.
>>719536150The "B" on LGBT stands for "Bugs" chud, learn your pronouns

Like how the ancient basin isnt needed to finish the game
>>719535476>I'VE BEATEN HIS SKINNY FUCKING ASS 6 TIMES ALREADYYes, but did you beat him on Radiant in the Hall of Gods? Once you've beaten a boss on Radiant you can assume that your Pantheon run won't be too difficult
>>719523460Tendies are malding because another multiplat is gonna reach the GOAT list and emasculate Nintendo again, and E33 tards are angry because they just lost GOTY. And /v/'s a den of contrarian retards mad at the world.
>>719536572>he thinks anyone aside from snoys still cares about the goy awards sponsored by gay pride companiesalso why would i hate good games to play on my switch tho?
Inb4 they hired play testers for bugs and issues and then actually went as solved all of reported ones unlike every single other company
>>719535613Quick crash course>Hornet is the child of the Pale King and Herrah the Beast>She is not a void being like the Hollow Knight ot the first game's protagonist, just 100% pure bug skillz and some divine power>She makes it out of most endings except the bad one where she's stuck in the Black Egg Temple (if any ending is explicitly non-canon it's probably this one)>In the Godhome DLC ending she meets with the Hollow Knight when you permanently defeat Radiance
>>719536528>beating pure vessel on radiantthat's a weird way of saying suicide
>>719523460right now? gay bugI have a game for you try to predict it
>>719536707Because you're mentally ill. When you can't play them at all, that's when you get extra schizzy. Remember your 5 year long shitposting crusade against FF7R that ended when it was announced for your toy? Amazing.
>>719536309And they're completely irrelevant because tiktokkers will meatride Team Cherry and grant them record profits and adulation. The thing about /v/ at this point is that all their bait is even outsourced from fucking TWITTER. How many people are posting on /v/? Probably like 2000 max being generous
>>719536787If you're in the Hall of Gods you get to try again immediatly after. It's an uphill battle I'm not gonna lie, but once it's done you will breeze through him when you fight him in the Pantheon

Also I want to bathe hornet from hollow knight in my cum.
>>719538085>the age of aquarius shit.you can't just drop schizo knowledge and not elaborate
>>719538023>You're all a bunch of indieslop loving faggots>and you [...] type like faggotsmight i interest you in a Thesaurus?
It's possibly it might be a shorter game, but Hollow Knight was easily 30 hours or so for casual playthroughs, and as a metroidvania you could easily get a lot more playtime out of it if you explored and did everything. I find it hard to believe they made Silksong so short considering it was in development for eight years. I figured it'd be just as long, if not longer than HK, but it's also weird that they're only charging $20 for it? Maybe they thought HK was too long and had too much stuff?
>>719523296Buy from GOG, support the existence of installers!
>>719523296The industry fears her power

>>719526324We had news often enough desu. Journalists just weren't paying attention unless it came through them.
>>719538146Literally just google it.The gist of it is fanatism is dying, and the average person is switching from defaulting to "x is true and good/bad because my religion/political side/ideological side/government/etc. says so" and starts questioning the validity or value of x first and foremost.
Is there a good video that summarizes the story of HK that isn't reddit central?
Okay but why did Pale King want Herrah to be a dreamer? Surely there were other devoted subjects like Lurien and Monomon he could've went with?
>>719538950Because he's got future vision and he knew she wanted sex in return.
>>719537180nkg and pure vessel are super easy compared to absrad t b h, especially the former.my respects to the handful of dudes who can climb all the way up to her and destroy her with all bindings.
Pantheon 5 is too hard, I can't do it.
Why is lace so thick? I cum!
>>719538950Possibly an attempt to improve diplomatic ties with Deepnest. The Radiance was a threat to everyone, so it was an opportunity to give the weavers a reason to care about Hallownest.
Incredibly important question. Are any of the developers trannys?
I hate Pure Vessel's stupid ass pillars attack.
>>719539287The devs are australian, mutt.
>>719539287No.
>>719523296Only buyoughting if he shows up, I'll know this because jewtube will have videos titled "HOLLOW KNIGHT SILKSONG TRUE FINAL BOSS (+SECRET ENDING)" with full spoilers in the thumbnail day 1.
>>719539357>austrailianSame "country" as collective shout...So theyre pro censorship feminist niggers? >>719539362Ok, are any of them feminists are jews?

>>719539192Hall of Gods and practice every boss you're having trouble with.
>>719524048it will never win goty because it's an indie and made journos and kikes seethe.it will probably win best indie because they know it'd be way too blatant if it loses that category, on top of incurring in the wrath of the fans
>>719539489Im sorry i find that hard to believe. Do you have a video of the games director saying specifically that theres no jews or feminists or trannys working on the project? If i could see something like that it would make me feel a lot more comfortable purchasing
>>719524048>winning GOTYaside from Geoff what other institution gives GOTY's that gamers actually give a fuck about?Steam I guess but what else?
>>719539540Balatro was nominated last year. I believe. They'll also want to send a message about the price.
>>719539530I can beat every boss individually just fine, the pressure of fighting them all in a row with the threat of losing all that progress gets to me during the harder fights. I also feel like getting hit once throws off my entire rhythm with some of the bosses, combined with the anxiety of having to restart is almost guaranteed to make me choke.
did they even increase their team size since HK? or is it still just 3 blokes?
>>719539695still 3 niggas I think
>>719539695Still just 3
really hope this game doesnt have DLC added bosses and shitwaited this long so it better be a complete package
>>719523460Took forever
>>719539658there's always an indie getting nominated so they can pretend the goty award isn't just corporate kikeryawards are all about sending a message, that's why pizza tower lost despite propping it up as a serious contender, they wanted to knock the dev down a peg for making a successful game that was a bit too "punk"
>>719539776They said in the recent interview that they are going to be adding content for "months and years to come"
>>719529017it's like farming (you)s
>>719539787Cocoon is better than Pizza Tower
>>719539787Pizza Tower lost because it's mediocre
>>719539818>have to wait a trillion years for a Shade Lord fightNiggers
>>719539856but it won the DEBUT INDIE award. and this is the company that puts non-indie games in "best indie" because it is "indie in spirit" so i don't care if cocoon was the first game of a new company, if that company is made of industry veterans and advertised as "McDev's next game"
Will it have a native Linux version like the og Hollow Knight did? Day one buy if true, fuck AAA niggers.
>>719523460Dishonest game design

>>719523296$60 too little 2bh dawg. they coulda upcharged niggas out the ASS n ppl still line up to buy this shit
>>719527813what a population of 1m gaymers who don't even have enough internet bandwidth to download it? yeah i'm sure they care about themi imagine TC has spent hte last week+ uploading this shit to steam's/etc's servers just so it can be distributed
>>719539695They started with two and the third joined during Godmaster
>>719523460it's reddit
>>719539695They're still the only guys listed on their site. Honestly why would they change that set up? They made a great game before on their own. Why would they need any more staff to do it again? Increasing your staff for the sake of increasing it is senseless. Especially when they are free to work at their own pace due to the massive success of their previous game and by maintaining their company structure means they will once again not have to share the spoils with anyone else other than the online platforms that take a cut.
>>719524048/v/ doesn't actually hate hollow knight. There were almost daily threads for like a month each time any of the DLCs released.It's just that everyone who played the game has nothing to say anymore. The threads were had, the discussions are done. The only ones who remain were nintendo direct raiding discord fags and provoking contrarians who either tried to desperately keep threads alive or just wanna stir shit.Just how you had a bunch of undertale haters on here, but as soon as any new deltarune chapter releases, genuine threads flood the board for over a monthShitposting can only sustain itself when there isn't enough genuine discussion to rival it.

>>719532785>expedition 33>good vidyait's dogshit unless you're a twitter npc that doesn't play or care about games
Hollow Knight 3(D) will be a 3D Souls-like with the Hollow Knight as the main character.
>>719532894Silksong is going to have gameplay that actually fits its chose genre instead of shoving a dogshit mechanic into the game in the name of "innovation". At the same time it's not going to have a story that horrifically terribly paced with "smart" characters that get turned into retards because the writers can't write.
>>719541782>>719541825No one will remember Ori in a few years, meanwhile, the hype that brought us to Silksong launch will forever be legendary.There are only 3 franchises that come to your mind when you think about metroidvanias:>Metroid>Castlevania>Hollow Knight
>>719542272>chose genrechosen* genre>story thatstory that's*
>>719542305Blasphemous
>>719523460High chance of people upset that the game taking this long wasn't worth it, or that it should've been DLC.
>>719532894Silksong is actually a game, not a QTE slop
>>719542334It's shit you can finish in 10 hours
i want grime 2 to come out instead
>>719542394Blasphemous is great
>>719542334It's that game even known outside Spain? I'm spanish so that game is always a topic here, but I always thought that it was a "here" thing.
>>719542538Yeah, it's one of the more popular metroidvanias everywhere.
>>719542538I'm Australian and I played it.
>>719523460It's hurting small french indie games with low budgets like E33
>>719542624Why would Goty care about indie game?
>>719536150I always hate the LGBTQ tag, not just because it's LGBTQ++++, but mainly because half the time it's like there's one character deep into a game, some male NPC in one house in one village that's like "man I wish my husband was here" and now there's this big black mark on the game for nothing.(Obviously the other fuckup is when the game legit deserves the tag and everyone in it is some preachy gay asshole that shoots their mouth off about how much they hate straight white people or whatever.)Same goes for porn games, you'll find a game with the EXACT fetish you're looking for, you play it and you're bombarded by every fetish you hate, constant turnoffs, constant flaccid boredom and you never find the fetish you're there for.You look it up online and whoops, it's actually one short scene in one path of the game if you play on a Wednesday, and the trigger for the scene is a clickable item in the background.Like nigga, these tags shouldn't be used for shit that's only 0.00000001% of a game's content.

>>719523435every. time.
>>719526046l2p nigger
>>719542365Its a bigger game with a bigger map, more enemies, and a more complex moveset. Someone needs to be demented to think it should have been DLC.
I have not seen a single person say they were going to play this on Game Pass, and the amount of people celebrating the low price suggests it's not even a thought in the public consciousness
>>719547646No, it -WAS- DLC, then the devs decided to expand it into a full game at some point instead.That's why Silksong was supposed to come out ages ago, and making it a full game is why it took them so long.

>>719539695It's still just the 3 autistic faggots. AAA literally cannot compete with stuff like this in terms of cost, efficiency and customer goodwill. Silly little metroidvania with cute insects in it generates way more excitement on gamers than the new AssCreed and Battlefield despite being made by only 3 people.

>>719542784>some male NPC in one house in one village that's like "man I wish my husband was here" and now there's this big black mark on the game for nothing.Just don't add fags to your game, it's that easy.

>>719534657>>operating out of Australia is cheap as fucknot really>>it cost comparatively so little to make for how much it brought inthe 'special case' here is that they make more with $60k than what most devs do with hundreds of thousands, if not millionsJust look at shit like the kickstarter for Mina, Nine Sols or Crowsworn.

I am pretty sure I saw it being sold on the steam page. Did I dream it?
>>719557568Yes you did. Otherwise I'd have bought it already.
>>719541825Why do people get hung up on the retardation of others to the point that they themselves fall victim to it.
And this game is only gonna have 20 dollars content bitch ass baby devs complain when they need to spend more then a hour making a game. Its why this peice of shit took 8 yrs
