>pirate le flavour of the month indie slop>try to kill chained bell thing>fail>respawn and have to backtrack 3 minutes>alt f4 unninstallI don't have time or energy for this shit
good game for unemployed losers like me
My point: the game forcing you to waste time for artificial difficulty is dogshit game design, Dark Souls ruined gaming, put a damn retry button
WHY ARE YOU NOT ENJOYING BACKTRACKING GET GOOD FAGGOT
Great, another poser gamer that think he can just beat anything popular get filtered
Imagine dying to the bell beast lmao
>>720145861>>720145868It's just a game, and it's dogshit
How the fuck do you get filtered by the fucking Bell Beast? What fucking video games do you usually play?
When did /v/ become casual center
>>720145659Based low energy gamer.
>just want to play a comfy metroidvania and explore with some occasionally tough bosses>got as far as Greymoor and getting filtered by 8 waves of bird faggots in one direction and gigantic one gorillion HP faggot fly in the other directionIt was fun for a couple hours but I’m too old for this shit. Moving on to better games that don’t waste my time
>>720145970I was playing swords and sandals II in the browser
>>720145793>play Mario >die >have to run back to where you were
>>720145970There was someone the other day having a meltdown over how "bullshit" Fourth Chorus was. Some people are just complete dogshit at this game.
>>720146115It takes seconds instead of minutes
>>720145934secret of the magic crystals is more up your alley then>>720146058The birdfaggots are aids, I'll give you that.
>>720146180There's a bench right below bell beast, it should take at most 10 seconds
>>720145995I don't give a shit, being good a this 2d platformer is not a skill I even want, I have real achievements in my life
>>720145659Based. Play an actually good metroidvania instead that doesn't wastes your time like pic related.
>>720146247Maybe it should have respawned me there then
>>720146258>Achievement unlocked>semen slurping OP
Just beat last Judge for the first time and his corpse exploded and killed me and my clear doesn't count. Fuck that. Is there any more cheap shit like this in the game? If so, I'm dropping. I hate these nigger developers who have no respect for player's time.
>>720145659Gen Z is the least skilled generation of gamers to date
>>7201464271v1 me on CSGO
>>720145659How can the sequel to a game that sold 15+ million copies be FotM? Are you announcing that you're a massive fucking out of touch casual? lmao
>>720146361why make content when you can just artificially make the game longer? This shit is lazy and normies eat it up like candy
>>720146267>le wastes your timeyou are playing video games man
>>720146361>kill enemy>it's body starts steaming and shaking>"Hmm, I'd better keep standing right next to it"Get filtered
>>720146565Silksong will never ever sell 15 million how it is now.
>>720146586the game is full of content tho
>>720146267this is a weeb board so you should recommend ender magnolia instead.
>>720146664And I want to play the damn game, not a walking simulator
>>720146664"The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time" backtracking is wasted time
>>720145659Almost based, too bad you played the game.
>>720146664There are different degrees of wasted time.Doing one specific fight or platforming section dozens of times like a drooling autist until you have it in your muscle memory and can react fast enough is a definition of badly wasted time.
>>720146716>le filteredNigger
>>720146058The big fly is a pain in the ass. But you didn't have to fight him. Just walk away. You can go to another location to increase the strength of your weapon. And/Or collect enough masks to increase your HP. And then come back and fight him stronger.I'm 39, and while I did find the fight to be a little annoying, I still handled it after like 10-15 attempts. It's not a big deal. Suck it up.
>>720147002I don't understand. You just stated normal gaming things.If a boss is difficult, then of course you're going to spend time learning it.If the platforming segment is difficult, then of course you're going to spend time learning it.Is there another way of playing games other than repetition?
>>720147283except backtracking is fucking easy and you do it on autopilot, it's just tedious
>rusty dadgamers past their prime be like
>>720145659I do but still don't really want to play it.
Bell Beast is literally 10 seconds from a bench. If that.
>play Castlevania>die>game sends me back to the start of the levelwhat the FUCK
I got to keep saying it, this game is a perfect example of why everything should be gatekept. Absolute retards like OP are playing games that arnt for them purely because its popular then complaining about it. Go back to CoD or whatever you losers play these days and never return to this board.
>>720147850Your slop is garbage and you are a loser, you must be sub 80 iq to be entertained by this shit
>>720147386The backtracking is so you cool off between attempts. Reassess what you're doing.It also doubles as incentive to play better. If you don't want to backtrack, then get good and win.It triples as a deterrent from throwing yourself mindlessly at the boss. If something is giving you a lot of trouble, it may be beneficial to go explore elsewhere and find the means to become stronger. Or just more experienced. As finding a less difficult enemy to fight can be the stepping stone you need to reach a higher skill level.It quadruples as a way of getting the player accustomed to the mechanics of the game. As when you desire to get back to the boss quickly, you start to find ways to expedite the trip. Becoming better with each attempt.It pentuples(?) as a means to grind. By fighting the enemies on the way back to the boss, you gain more resources. Which of course results in a larger purse when you finally beat the boss, and get to keep all of your resources.
I've yet to see anyone mention anything they actually like about this game. It's all just>I love this game and I think it's a 10/10 masterpiece but it fucking sucks
>>720148021holy mother of projection
>>720145659I had no interest in playing this shit but seeing everyone cry about "it's too difficult!1!!111!" makes me actually want to play it. Is this actually difficult or is it Dark Souls slop "difficulty".
>>720146267PEAK MENTIONED !!!!!>>720148021>>720148067Lmao if it weren't for E33 this would be our most hated game of 2025
>>720147645He probably took a wrong turn and fought it before finding the bench? I almost made that mistake myself when I was playing. I walked partway into the room before realizing it looked suspiciously like a boss room, and noped out.
>>720148021An excellent thought provoking opinion you've stated. You really brought alot to the conversation with that statement.
>>720145793Dark souls bad, make load state, it's ok, tanks
>>720146267POP TLC was so kino bros but gamers shitted on it because MUH UBISOFT MUH WOKEEEEEE lmao so pathetic
>>720145659Man I guess it was a good thing you were born in the last 12, 14 years anon
>>720147124>upgrade weaponWhere? Still haven’t found that>upgrade healthNot really worth it right now because every attack does two damage so I’d need to find 5 more mask shards just to take one more hit
>>720146267Nooooooo!!!! That game is woke!!!!!! Grummz said so!!!!!!!
>>720145659Why is 2025 so filled of godawful garbage roastable dumpster fire flops /v/?
>>720148419>3 from shittardtendoOfc...
>>720148067maybe actually read threads about the game, you know, those where people are actually playing and discussing the game instead of shitposting
>>720145659>3 minutesYou havin a giggle mate?
>>720148048>>720145861>>720145970>>720146716>>720148258Fuck you, I nearly beat I wanna be the boshi, but I got bored, did you beat it? That game is hard
>>720148067i like the boss fights and the traversal of the world itself is really fun once you get the grapple ability. i found myself actually getting excited for the hard platforming challenge parts.the exploration aspect is great, every time i thought i'd found every major area i would find another somewhere. it feels like the game that never ends, in a good way. i still don't know how big the game actually is, i was looking for a flea collectible earlier and ran into yet another new zone i had no idea existed.what i don't like is the first half of act 1. everything there is total ass, it's like they intentionally frontloaded all the shitty fights and boring parts of the game. for what purpose?
>>720148609I also beat highest difficulty raptors in beyond all reason, you fucking kids don't have 10% of my APM
>>720148272>Where? Still haven’t found thatWhat's the last major boss you've beaten?
>>720148419That's not entirely fair. Pokemon Z-A will probably be dogshit, but we won't know for sure until it's actually out. And E33 is a decent mid-tier game, just nowhere near as good as people think if they've never played another JRPG in their lives.
>>720148272>Where? Still haven’t found thatSave the people of Bellhart, and an NPC there will sharpen your needle for free. The boss there is a lot easier than the big Fly. Only took me 3 attempts. If you haven't found bellhart yet, then go left of graymoor. You'll eventually find it.Or, find all of the flees, and the caravan will escort you to the left side of graymoor, from there, it's only a room away to the left.>Not really worth it right nowEven 1 extra mask will allow you to heal earlier, when it's safer. Not *every* attack does 2 points. Some are 1 points. If you get even 1 extra mask, you can heal with three masks remaining, which is safer than healing with 2 masks remaining.
>>720145659>le dad gamer gets filteredlol thanks for your time faggot
>>720146267is your life really so devoid of meaning you have to post painfully unfunny bait like this
>>720148609No, I haven't played that game, because it looks like shit.I can beat the first hollow knight in under 4 hours though. Can you do that?
>>720145659where's the "enviroment and spikes only deal 1 dmg instead of 2" mod?
>>720145659just post on /v/ all day long bro
>>720145659the funny thing is if this game came out within a reasonable timeframe and didn't have the epic reddit squad behind it, this would be the standard approach
>>720145659Is there something you have time and energy for, though?You won't answer.
>>720149081There is no way a human being took the time out of their day to make that image and even further another to save it and post it again in any capacity. You have to go next bro.
>>720149081I thought those kinds of images were supposed to be about repugnant types of people. But he's making a lot of sense.
>>720149296Yes, having sex with your cow mother
>>720146730Why?
great blog post, so so interesting
>>720149364As I said, you won't answer because you're full of shit.
>>720145659My issue is that I don't even think its hard. None of the fights really are. Most of their patterns are easy enough to pick up on and read. The issue is that they drag on for so fucking long that I feel my brain turn off and it leads to mistakes because I just want it to be over. Combine that with the slow as fuck movement speed and traversal, and it all just feels so fucking dull after awhile because EVERYTHING takes forever.My solution was to install a damage multiplier mod and a movement speed mod. Made the game feel less shitty. Doesn't fix the autistic levels of backtracking, but at least I don't feel like a total anemic going from place to place.
>>720149340>even further another to save itanon you can just right click and copy images who the hell saves it in 2025
>>720149456How am I full of shit, Timmy?
>>720149573Answer the question.
>>720146730>over 90% positive reviews on steamYou're letting a vocal minority warp your perception.
>>720149516you could have just waited a bit to get the sprint but now you will never have beaten the game
>>720149662Out of 15 million niggers that bought the first game, more than half of them won't bother with the sequel because they can clearly see it's the same overhyped garbage
>>720149778You're completely at odds with reality. Are you absolute retards finding about Hollow Knight just now? Lol.
>>720149765I already HAD sprint. Its still excessively slow. Its like every aspect of this game exists specifically to drag it out as long as possible.
>>720150023it really isnt.... I guess youre just retarded and extremely bad, please post footage of you playing
>>720149978No, I treid playing it in 2018 or whenever it came out and it's dogshit for trannies
>>720149516Seconding what the other anon said. You could have just held out long enough to get the sprint. It's not that far into the game. It feels so good, and cuts travel time by *a lot*. It's a dash and sprint combined. So it also helps in fights. In fact, when you get it, it tells you to chase enemies down with it.The fights aren't very long either. You're just not playing offensively enough. Try to sneak in attacks where ever you can. You'd be surprised by how many times you can hit the boss, when you stop playing defensively and take risks.
>>720150107I made a review, you can watch me play ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m67zlc9QPOk
>>720150118Case in point.
>>720146176For some reason I died couple of times to his "second phase" (when explosives are spawned). But I'm just retarded, it's not the game's fault.
>>720149516Just to make sure, you're complaining that the game has too much content? The game you have no requirement to play right now, a game where you can walk away from it and come back to at literally any point in time from now, and your complaint is too much content?
>>720150215I think you need cock
>>720150215>These are the morons posting their shitty opinions on /v/God, please tell me you're kidding and posted someone else's review.
>>720148419>Ludo Kino>Kino>Kino>Kino>Ludo Kino>Slop
>>720150215So it was indeed Nintentroons kek.
>>720150208And like I said, already had it. Game still felt excessively slow. Sorry, but I prefer my 2D action platformers to not feel like shit so I upped the overall movement speed just enough to make it feel better. Ironically this does make pogoing harder since I have to be even more precise, but I'd rather that then feeling like I'm moving through molasses even when utilizing the sprint.For the damage increase, it just makes it feel better. None of the bosses have complex enough patterns to justify how long they take, even with a fully upgraded nail.I understand how someone who rarely or never has played an action 2D platformer might find the game okay, but I personally have played far too many, so all I did was make it more in line with what I want from a game, because it was almost there, but it just needed to be overall faster paced.
>>720153210Probably the worse opinion I've read about anything in a while.I can't really argue taste however. So I won't bother. I think the game's speed is fine. A little sluggish in the beginning until you get the sprint. And then it's perfect.
>>720153597You need to play more games.
>>720153597For me the sprint just doesn't help make it feel that much faster. A little better, but still too slow.And like I said, I personally felt like the bosses were dragging out too long for how overall simple they are.
>>720145659Very organic post
>>720148048>If something is giving you a lot of trouble, it may be beneficial to go explore elsewhere and find the means to become strongerI agree with the idea behind this but, Jesus, I most certainly don't feel like this is the case in HK:SS. I haven't even finished Act I and I feel like I'm missing at least one health and one damage upgrade
>>720153936I've played a lot of 2D platformers. I'm in my late thirties, and I started with Super Mario Bros back on the NES. I've played a bunch of 2D platformers throughout.>>720153983They all die in like 2 minutes. Maybe 3. At least as far as I am. I haven't beaten the game yet. But I don't know what you mean by them dragging on. As soon as you get good enough to survive the fight, the bosses seem to die shortly after.I don't know what's wrong with you. It sounds like your perception of time is slower than normal people. Maybe you're just blessed with a heightened level of awareness. But I don't think your standard of speed should be used for a game like Silk Song. Maybe go play Touhou or OSU something. You probably have the SHMUP brand of autism.
>Bell Beast>3 minuteshe’s like 1 room away from the bench
>>720154460>They all die in like 2 minutes. Maybe 3.See that wouldn't be an issue if the bosses didn't feel so basic. No bosses in the game feel complex enough to be interesting for that long.Also its not a SHMUP brand of autism, its a 2D action platformer brand of autism. I've played so fucking many that I know what I like in them, and Silksong (and Hollow Knight) both are barely passable at best.
>>720145659I think I may be done with it.I 100% Hollow Knight back when it came out and it probably was my favorite game that year.But I've been going through Act 2 in Silksong and I just feel too tired to care, so I closed the game and I'm not sure I'll open it again.I'm not a demented masochist, I don't need a whole game to be HK's path of pain on steroids.It also doesn't help that every reward sucks, you go through some platforming hellscape, kill some damage sponge boss with 10 flying adds and your reward is some pointless trinket and maybe a few anal beads if you are lucky.
>people suck off this game like crazy>it sucksLmao I'd rather replay Metroid Fusion over playing this hunk of shit, and fusion is probably the worst 2D Metroid game due to its linear nature. At least I can finish Fusion in 2-3 hours even when going for 100%. Believe it or not, Metroidvanias are better when they don't take forever to finish.
Phantom is such a cool boss it's unreal>Isn't part of the standard progression, you might not ever find her>To get to her you need to progress through three hidden areas>Her boss fight is essentially the Hornet 2 battle except with mist stream jump attacks instead of spike traps>Needolin the area to find she has a connection to Lace>Defeat her to get Hornet's parry move back>Also to get a back way into Act 2
>>720145659I was in the same boat as you but I beat the thing using the d-pad instead of the stick.I still won't finish the game. Basic exploration sucks because mobs kill you in 2-3 hit. I also pirated it. I would feel awful I spent actual money on such a shitty game.>>720145934>>720145793>the game forcing you to waste time for artificial difficulty is dogshit game designSay it louder for the people in the back!
>>720146058>gigantic one gorillion HP faggot fly in the other directionGet the reaper crest and you can cheese him. It makes your down jump attack big enough to clip through the platform by the top entrance to the area.
>>720146427Gaming isn't a skill. It's a recreational activity.
>>720155402>See that wouldn't be an issue if the bosses didn't feel so basic.2 minutes is literally no time at all. It's pretty much just long enough for the player to prove that they can survive the pattern.Name a platformer with more speed and/or complexity than Hollow Knight.
>>720149662It got spammed with positive reviews literally as soon as it released. Drones spent seven years getting hyped up for this game.
