Why is there so much hype surrounding it? I played the original and it was quite good but nothing out of the ordinary.
>>719614370It's an awesome game with a great story shit tons of content multiple endings memorable characters stunning music and rewarding exploration, what more do you want from a game you contrarian twat? Hating popular things doesn't make you interesting.
>>719614370it sold 15M copies plus gamepass players so lots of people played it to talk about it
>>719614370there's so many shit games now a days that a simple good game is hype enough for us.
>>719614370People who hate expedition 33 because they're jealous of french artists are hoping this piece of shit can save them. That's most of it. Watch, they'll try to cover up by replying with some "two cakes" bullshit.

>>719614540I don't hate it, I'm honestly confused. I'll be honest I was exhausted after playing the original and I liked Momodora that came out around the same time way more. Hollow Knight just felt bloated
>>719614598>>719614669>>719614698Just bizarre inorganic behaviour. Also weirdly bringing up Clair Obscur
Better than all Metroid games
>>719614540>memorable charactersname 10>rewarding explorationdescribe 10
>>719614765You're responding to someone stating that the game sold millions of copies by calling the post "inorganic." You're an unthinking drone.
>>719614758Come on, you think I actually fall for that shit? What's actually happening here is this: You hate feeling "normal" when something gets popular. You want to feel "exceptional" because of a narcissistic impulse to feel important, so you attack objectively top tier games that have become popular in order to make yourself feel less insecure and above the goyim rabble. That's the real reason why you make these threads, don't even try to be dishonest. I know your gay little lord Fauntleroy mentality quite well. Hollow Knight is peak, and you will always be lame contrarian trash with dry reactive takes
>>719614765chatGPT response. WEEEEEIRDOOO.
>>719614841The game only has like 10-15 characters and areas, so literally all of them
itt: faggots
>>719614945This is the first thread I've made on this topic. Before this the hype surrounding Silksong was fairly moderate and understandable but now everyone treats it like the second coming of Christ.
>>719615004Yeah, you especially.
>>719614698Shut up tendie.
>>719614758It felt bloated because you didn't enjoy it and just forced yourself to beat it. Most people enjoyed it so instead of bloated it felt satisfying as fuck
>>719614370It was a never ever that evered
>>719614765did you reply to the wrong posts? maybe you think you're in a different thread? check OP, I think you're lost
Age gap bug yuri
>>719615074It's coming out in a few days. People have been waiting 8 years since they announced it. Holy shit you people are retarded.
>>719614540>a great storyOh yeah I loved the "wander around and unlock upgrades until you find and defeat the boss that makes the credits roll" storyline, very unique
>>719614841>Elderbug>Grimm>Brumm>Bretta>Zote>Hornet>White Lady>Quirrel>Seer>Dung Defender/Ogrim>Iselda>Cornifer>Sly>The Last StagList continues.
>>719615235But that's the gameplay, not the story. Are you ok?
>>719615002cop out. What a shit game, only 10 characters lmfao.
>>719615247so...a bunch of bland ass bugs that look like Bleach rejects? gotcha.
>>719615581They're memorable to me because I actually played and enjoyed the game. You asked for a list of 10, and I gave you 14. Stay mad.
>>719614540im starting to think aussies are just pretending it's good
>>719615581Sort of like a tripcode?
>>719614370People just really want to play a good gamePLAY a good game, not watch cutscenes with high production values and detailed skin pores
>>719616151Castlevania portrait of ruin is right there and always has been
>>719614370>Why is there so much hype surrounding it?>I played the original and it was quite goodYou answered your own question. People want more of that. Its been like 7 years and they're finally getting it

>>719616278They should have played their second metroidvania in those 7 years
Team cherry uses bibel media to shill their shitty flashgame
This is going to happen>game is going to release>its going to be hype for a week>no one is going to talk about it after thatThere was no hype about the game. The fun/hype thing was getting some info about it every single direct and now thats its over theres nothing left to feel hype about
>>719616352Keep seething that one game sold 3/4 of all Metroid as a whole, lmao
>>719616535I dont care about sales, im not a corpo dick sleave. Metroidvania is a good genre, you should play your second one
>>719616532It doesn't matter. Silksong will sell as much if not more than Hollow Knight, get overwhelmingly positive on Steam, and at least 85 metascore/8.5 user score on Metacritic. Screencap this and post it when it happens.
>>719616406>saaar, they use bibeeel media saar!Kys jeet nigger
>>719614370I don't think it's overhyped, just enduring hype. A lot of people think it was quite good and the sequel got delayed so often it was funny to comment about. Hollow Knight's fanbase isn't remotely as fanatical as most. Like most people don't really care about the lore, they think the bossrush DLC was annoying, that most zones are like fine. Just in it for the atmosphere, exploration and character interactions, everything else being pretty unexciting is fine.
>>719614841Since people have already done characters >rewarding explorationOptional areas Optional bosses Charms Health upgrades Coliseum of Fools Shortcuts and fast travel locations Powered up versions of spells Access to (free) DLC (Grimm Troupe, Godhome) Grubs to rescue Geo deposits Lore
>>719617414I don't know what you're arguing about, but this is everything you'd expect from any metroidvania. As I said Hollow Knight is nothing out of the ordinary
>>719617631Apart from being about 4 times as large as the average metroidvania and having an enemy gauntlet and boss rush mode.
>>719614945Least defensive hk fan
>>719617716This is just delusional. Besides bigger isn't always better. There are other Metroidvanias out there that are more concentrated and better than Hollow Knight.
>>719614370>Trannies get overly attached to a clearly female but androgynous character>Character gets it's own game>Trannies go nuts claiming it's GOTY despite the game the character came from being painfully averageThat's it.Silksong will be another painfully average metroidvania in a sea of metroidvanias.
>>719615004I do wonder if you are the same "Faust" that was around here from nearly 2 decades ago at this point.
Dead Cells is 10x more fun than hollow knight. Metroidvanias suck
>>719614370>why do people want more of a good game?Beats me.

>>719619885Oops, didn't mean to quote.
>>719614370Sneedsong
>>719614370Because it's the E33 goty killer
>>719618091kek look at the cuck screaming tranny over and over. He fucking knows his precious E33 will be forgotten and a fucking metroidvania will get goty.
>>719620050I don't understand why everyone goons over E33, that game is a fucking travesty, plagued with Unreal's horrific graphical rendering and visual artifacts, bugs, and awful performance to boot. Maybe it would be cool if it worked right and looked like it's supposed to but the game is borderline unplayable.
>>719620325The answer to E33 hype is pedos. The answer to HK hype is patricians. Neither side will ever understand the other. They are fundamentally, ontologically incompatible.
Only two more days anons
>>719614540You will never pass
>>719620991That's not estrogen. I don't believe you.
>>719620991>announced the price on twatter >still can't pre order What the actual fuck are these shit posting cunts doing
>>719620991Post your boobs, coward.
>>719621169They already said they won't allow preorders, period.You know, like the old days.
>>719621169Crashing the store page with no survivors.
>>719614370it's cause faggots like you promote that faggot shit using terms that cant be blocked by filters in relation to shitbugame. But imma add "hype surrounding it" as nothing smart can be made into a thread with that stupid combo of words.
>>719621169All these pre-order scams, and you still want to pre-order? What the actual fuck are YOU doing?
>>719620991what kind of retarded third world language is this?
>>719621169what's the price?
>>71962195320 dollaridoos
>>719621986are you toying with my feelings mate?
>>719621986It's ahkshully 20 freedom coins30 dollerydoos
>>719622050No, it's really 20 USD
>>719618256This.
>>719622050No lieshttps://x.com/TeamCherryGames/status/1962330350681735642
>>719622127>>719622205What's wrong with those small devs making extremely good games and selling them at low price, like Clair Obscur?It greatly hurts the AAA developments studios who employs thousands of devs and have to sell the game 90$ and are still losing money.Do they want this whole industry to crash with no survivors?baka
>>719622305Oh noesAnyway...
>>719622305Yes, and so do I. CRASH IT.
>>719614540>great storyZoomers really call that Walmart Dark Souls rip-off a "great story" lmao.If there ever was a forced hype for a game, this has to be it.
I've had Hollow Knight sitting on my switch unplayed for years, and I admit that it's mostly me being a contrarian and not playing it because everyone hyping it and especially Silksong made me want to play it less.
>>719614370Because Hollow Knight is a cultural reference point for the zoomer generation, just like Minecraft or Fortnite. To them, it is a much bigger thing than it actually is.
>>719624561you sound like a mouthbreathing retard
>>719624561Insanity.
Quite good is already very appealing when the bar for the rest of the industry is so low.
>>719624561Who is this "everyone hyping it"?What the fuck is this revisionist shit?No one remembered this existed until 2 weeks ago
>>719617716>about 4 times as large as the average metroidvaniaAs someone who has just finished my 112% playthrough in preparation, this isn't necessarily a good thing.
>>719620325>that game is a fucking travesty, plagued with [head canon]Oof, melty.
>>719622305>extremely good games>parryslop obscurkill yourself nigger
>>719620325It's hilarious to see a game so utterly riddled with ugly UE5 assets and PS4-tier performance on 4090s get lauded for "muh artistry", only for a team of two guys with one dude drawing everything by hand to dogwalk them like the talentless ubisoft faggots they've always been.

I finally beat Pantheon of the Hallownest. I don't understand wtf that ending was.

>>719618256Bro dead cells is boring as fuck. I just tried playing it again a few days ago.
imagine being a shazamtranny and having literally nothing better to do with your life than spam a taiwanese rhizome cultivation forum in the vain hope it will cause a random game about bugs to flop.
>>719628564Damn Daniel
>>719628564Hey Rhizome anon
>>719621169>pre ordering a digital game What the actual fuck are YOU doing?
>>719614945Mega truke
>>719614370People are absolutely addicted to hype and will latch onto anything new coming out that they perceive others being excited for. It's a herd mentality thing.
>>719629663>I have to be careful with $20Ew, a poor person
All you need nowadays to sell games is hype and nothing else. Just have enough people screaming it's good and all the sheeps will flock follow soon.
