Is there enough time to beat this before silksong comes out?
>>719550320Yes, Silksong isn't going to evaporate if you don't play it day one. So you have until you die to beat Hollow Knight. Besides, why would you want to play Silksong if you're not enjoying Hollow Knight? It's not a stepping stone. Stop having FOMO.
>>719550320Yeah, but you'll miss your chance on getting a free copy of Silksong if you don't beat this by the time it comes out.
If you nolife it for the next three days probably. You won't do all the content, but you should be able to see credits.
>>719550320I saw some YouTuber start with the goal to 112% from scratch before sulking comes out,, he started like four days ago and I have no faith he can do it despite likely being a streamer and thus being able to play like 12h a day
>>719550320Why do you need to beat it before silksong? You do realise both games will exist longer than you will, right?You're not a bandwaggoning NPC lemming playing boring ass shit out of sheer social pressure, are you?
>>719550320Beat? Absolutely. 112%? It'll be tight but sure.100% all the achievements plus Pantheon with every Binding plus Path of Pain plus the two Grimm Troupe Endings, no probably not. Not that that shit is really worth doing. Fuckass journal and sitting in Godhome for hours.
>>719550320If you spend around 4 to 5 hours a day playing it, sure. Then again, no one’s telling you to play Silksong on release day, so do what you want.
>>719550320You can get the true ending in under 30 hours comfortably. Like others have said, I would suggest not bothering with the other stuff now.
>>719552119Does it include the try hard bullshit they added later?
i got the 100% in under 20 achievement in like 2 days.
i did 112% and p5 all in like 30 hours and i definitely did not go fast
>>719552282The Godhome DLC is such bullshit.
>>719550320I've tried to play this twice and I always drop it before not too long. Las time i got I think until at least past the middle of the game, but there's something about HK that doesn't click for me, even if it's technically good.And I love Metroid and Metroid-likes.
>>719550320The game's like 40h long if you do the side content and DLC (not specifically 100%), so noThat's 10h a day for the next 4
>>719553836It's not that bad, I definitely spent way longer labbing out Double God Hand Gene or Vanquish's Tac Challenge 6 than Nailsage/Pure Vessel/Absolute Radiance.It's more that it's fucking Hollow Knight. Nobody played it for the combat, it was basic as hell, going ham on the bossrush and boss replay modes was just a weird decision. Going back for Godhome was rediscovering how mediocre the core mechanics kinda are all over again.
>>719554229Anon, you have to waste many hours training to beat PK consistently, proceed to spend 40 minutes getting to AR and then waste another several hours to train to beat AR consistently.And then you have to spend 40 minutes per attempt at beating the DLC.The DLC does not value your time at all.
>>719554395>Anon, you have to waste many hours training to beat PK consistentlyLike 90 minutes. He has 6 attacks and the only one that matters is parrying his close range combo, the rest you just hop over or dash through.Granted, 90 minutes is still way too long for a Hollow Knight boss, it only takes that long because he spastically teleport spams and shits up your screen every time he hits you - and this game doesn't deserve a 40 minute bossrush mode. I don't disagree, I just think this kind of bullshit is fun in a combat-focused game - DMC4 Bloody Palace takes an hour, but this is Hollow Knight.
>beatabsolutely, if you rush and know what you're doing>completenot really, godhome too hard
>>719554395I never played Hollow Knight is it a commonly held opinion that the dlc is bad?
>>719554908the DLC isn't bad, but it is difficultit adds what is essentially a bossrush mode and the ability to fight bosses at willto get the DLC ending you need to fight boss after boss after boss, with some breaks
>>719554806>Like 90 minutes.Can you stop fellating yourself for a moment? It takes someone who is good at the game at least four hours to beat PK alone.>>719554908Bad? Maybe. A disappointment compared to the rest of the game? Yes.The DLC is made for a specific type of person. If you're not that type of person, it's nothing but suffering.
>>719555170>Can you stop fellating yourself for a moment?I'm gonna be honest man, I spent 30 minutes labbing out PK and just added the hour to be nice.
>>719555403
>>719550320if you go in blind and genuinely try to enjoy the game, probably not
>>719550646Do I have to get the godhome ending to qualify or does getting other endings count too?
>>719550320SEX WITH MY GIRLFRIEND (male), PHANTOM, WHILST HORNET WATCHES.
>>719555876Only the secret mushroom ending.
Two days, 23 hours, 44 minutes
You do have a copy of hollow knight, right /v/? Or are you a third world poster?
>>719556297I bought the same special edition.I wish I owned a home where I could showcase it in a shelf.Maybe in a few decades.
>>719555940the mr mushroom bossfight was intense
>>719556368Hope you have luck in the future and enjoy a small room of fun, anon.
>>719550320If absolute inbred with no hands like forsen beats it in 15hours so can everyone on /v/
>>719550320I'm close to beating it but I have the feeling there is a lot of secret stuff that will require autistically searching every nook of the map. I.m wondering if it's worth it.
it's doable op, I beat it in 44 hours and 95% completion of base game and got the dream no more ending. Will go for the 112% achiev after beating silksong
>>719556297What's in the book, Anon?
>>719557214>Will go for the 112% achiev after beating silksongDon't. Trust me, you do not want to even attempt it.
>>719557829Can't be that difficult. Unless it counts the speed run too.
>>719558591The speed runs are the easy part of the game, actually.
>>719558591it's not the speedrun, it's almost entirely godhome and the autism of having learn the bosses individually, to perfection, to perform the bossrush
>>719557445Mostly art and lore. In color.
>>719550320Game's like 20 hours long if you really take your time and do the I wanna be the guy levelWell you're not going to do the boss rush stuff
>>719553861Same. I like the music, the art and the lore, but the game itself just does nothing for me. I love exploration and unlocking new powers, but Hollow Knight is just... okay and I drop it 10 or so hours in each attempt.I'll certainly be interested in reading up on Silksong, but I doubt the game itself will win me over.
>>719558591112% is doable, you don't need the final pantheon unless you are going for achievements, then you need it
>>719556297Aren't consoles for turd worlders?
will her game a mantis-like bossfight?
>>719560287>SoBWhy didn't they scream FOR THE EMPRAH when fighting the Knight?
>>719560397Because they were vassals, not subjects.
>>719550320YOU HAD SEVEN YEARSIf you're experience gets diminished because you're rushing, that's all on you.
>>719560287I have a feeling that most of the bosses are going to be like this.
>>719560663literally none of the encounters shown consisted of more than 1 boss lmao
>>719560096Let her cope
>>719560096Well, i never said it's the only copy i have of the game.
>>719560767???? have you watched the trailer, they shown more bosses with 2 enemies than 1
yeah it's not too long if you just want to beat it and not 100% ita lot of the time is backtracking to spots with new abilities cause new abilities arent always in obvious spots.
Different anon here, did the devs say if you can start with Silksong? Cause I'll think I'll do that if I can.
Are you supposed to play this game on the controller or mouse+keyboard? I beat it yesterday, and I felt like mouse+keyboard was pure cancer, especially when it comes to pogo jumping.
>>719563503No they said you have to complete hollow knight first
>>719550320There's an achievement for beating the game in five hours. Good luck.
>>719563503starting with silksong is illegal
>>719563503The plot is probably going to be completely unrelated. Heck, we still have no idea if it's a prequel or a sequel.
>>719563503If you do that, ari gibson will personally go to your house and beat you up
>>719553492Yes.
>>719550320Yes. If you don't aim to complete everything.I have 26 hours clocked in and intend to finish after beating the true boss. No need to spend time on really hard stuff.
I played maybe 2/3 of HK years ago but I can't be bothered to go finish it so fuck it im just going to play Silksong
>>719565285thats fineif you like and finish silksong you will probably want to finish hk anyway
>buy salt song day 1 and just let it run in the background so it increases the "current players" total>play it 3 years laterbasedest take
>>719555170I'm not really that type of person, but I thought Godhome was pretty fun. It felt nice to beat up some of the bosses again with stronger gear, and in some of my newer playthroughs I've progressed further in Godhome. Last time I beat Pure Vessel and stopped there.
