Why is Hollow Knight so popular?
>>721430097Steam kiddie's first Metroidvania + Dark Souls design elements.
>>721430097It no , it beened astrofurfed here by mossad because as it webms shows , gay fewish directior.I even think i saw more discussion and fanfare for the Metroid dread game albeit
>edited and/or modded gameplayCool
>>721430097>minimum hight way to lowFor his size? not really>"omg dork souls is so epic :D" combatwhat???
>>721430097isn't this exactly how super mario jumping works
>>721430468>minimum height way too lowmy bad
>>721430097He does not jump that high.
>>721430665Yes it is, OP or whoever made the webm eats crayons.
Several retarded reddit tier reasons. Amongst them:>it looks great!!Too subjective. The whimsy sophisticated flash game styling is dubious>its challenging! Muh dark souls!Combat lacks variety and is basic, weapon progression is limited, no playstyle changes. Majority of difficulty comes from endurance gauntlets which in itself are filled with say multiple flying annoying enemies, tedious backtracking, giant spaces of nothing except environmental annoyances etc. I get that difficulty is also subjective and comes in many forms, but hollow knight takes the most annoying parts of the puzzle and double downs on it>Its only 20 bucks (12 on sale or smt) and its HUUGERefer to previous statement. Hollow knight wastes your time to the max, prolonging the game to the point of indifferent fatigue. And yeah, game with core game design of a flash platformer with one attack button cant be more expensive, its absurd. Bigger aint always better>it was made by a team of 10 peoplevery cool yes, great achievement. And besides being an indie darling...?>its unique in storytelling and atmosphereIt's a dark souls rip off through and through, sealed evil, mad kings and warriors, forgotten lands, hollow hero who will reignite the flame/seal evil, vague npc mumbling etc. And the audacity from one of the devs to say that he never even played or knows anything about dark souls is almost insulting to peoples intelligence.Overall, its a decent game at most. The cult behind it makes it unbearable for sane people to discuss, you HAVE to praise the shit out of it, or else you are just a hater
>>721430097it's trannycore, just like Deltatroon. that's why it pollutes all social media because of lgbt schizos that need games to base their entire personnalities on.
>>721432067>And the audacity from one of the devs to say that he never even played or knows anything about dark souls is almost insulting to peoples intelligence.this will never stop being funny to me: the audacity of that faggot to say that when it's litterally dark souls lore in bugland. But then again, seeing how retarded the cultist silktroons are, I bet many of them believe it.
>>721432865The are shizos on /v/ who actually sing in tune that hollow knight/silksong is totally nothing like dark souls in narrative.
>>721432067holly based.
>>721432865>dude... theres one guy whose role you might replace in only one of the endings kind of like Gwyn. And theres also the dreamers which are kind of like the lord souls, even though 99% of such heavily nonlinear world games have some sort of requirement scattered around the map before you can beat it!>dont mind the entire other 90% of the plotHow the fuck does the Radiance getting mad with the Pale King and his kingdom for making her be forgotten have anything to do with Dark Souls? How does the Pale King having immense sex with the White Lady and then cucking her with herrah have anything to do with Dark Souls? What would be the moth tribe in dark souls? How does trying to create a hollow mind to shield it from dreams have anything to do with dark souls? How does the ACTUAL ending that requires you to ascend your nail that cuts into dreams, retrieve what you need from these dreams to access the birthplace where you can unite the void and then drag the radiance into a void rape lake to kill her off for good have anything to do with dark souls?
>>721437094>silktroon sperging after being called outLike clockwork kek
High production values and good gameplay
>>721430097>minimum height too low>posts imprecise baby game as a comparisonThis is exactly how jumping in mega man works, this is a shitter issue. It's not very difficult to see why people would appreciate an open ended platformer with precise movement. You had 30 years to learn how to play video games. You didn't and now you get to be miserable. Hopefully you drop the genre entirely. The most retarded Twitter faggot is better than you.
>>721437094you proving>>721432865>>721434789>>721432067these niggas point. Hollow knight doesnt need to be exact absolute copy bit by bit of darksouls, the vague concept of evil, forgotten land, said vague comments from npcs, hollow vessel hero, contextual storytelling is a blatant copy of its own. It would be criminal if they completely ripped off the plot detail by detail
>>721430097>Why is Hollow Knight so popular?Why would it be unpopular? It's got everything you'd dream for in a metroidvania
>cheap >runs on every potato machine >furfagsWonder how
Because it's great. You're salty you can't bask in its greatness.
>>721440696>this thing is similar to another thing, therefore it's shit Based on that logic everything is a copy of whatever was the origins of it's existance or a copy of a copy. Does that make everything other than the original shit?
>>721432067>Overall, its a decent game at most.It's a 4/10 floaty platformer with forgettable music, badly designed levels, and samey grey bug enemies. I'm mindblown that this game got any traction at all. It's shocking that Silksong actually fixes most of the issues and manages to be a decent game, maybe even one of the best metroidvanias because of enemy AI.
>>721432865Anon, you're not a victim
shazam thoroughly lost, twice within a year
>>721440696>hollow vessel heronothing to do with ds1 hollows other than that it has the word 'hollow'>vague concept of evilthere is no 'evil' in the game and the antagonist is not vaguei guess every forgotten land is dark souls...
>>721430097It’s tranny/reddit core, it’s so blatantly obvious lol just look at the fanbase, it’s a bunch of pathetic fags
>>721430665>isn't this exactly how [old outdated game that's been improved over 999999 times] jumping worksuh ok? you just showed OP!
>>721430097it's very well polished for an indie game desu
>>721432067For what is worth, I dont think you are a hater. I just think you are wrong.The game is great, stop pretending for games to be mana from heaven. The expectations are ridicoulous.All that is really happening, like always, is that a lot of people hyper focus on defects, when big masses of people treat something like its perfect.No, the game is not perfect.Yes, it copies tons of things.Its a good game anyways. Deal with it.
>>721443979lol
>>721432865I never played any Dark Souls and I would be able to make a game with that kind of lore. You just write a bunch of cool notes that don't have to be related in any way, give them to corpses or NPCs and let essayists write the lore for you. Let me do that on the spot: Oh this sword says "when the hand touches the gilded steel, the piercing cold reaches the soul" and you loot it in a place called Fredrick's Lament, and this boss named Fredrick, The Last Heir has one hand made of gold? OMG!!!!That's why I don't think he even had to necessarily lie. Dark Souls lore is mashed potatoes of cool nonsense.
>>721432067>you're not allowed to like a game because your opinion is too subjective???
Simple, everyone likes bugs. There's a reason why god created sixty billion kinds of beetle.
>Jumping to the jewish boogey man instantlyIs this their new strategy?
>>721430097It’s a really big game for a low price. I feel like we’re having this discussion years late.
Can we stop acting as if Dark Souls is the first cursed kingdom that fell to a curse and is now filled with undead and secrets to uncover?I mean, you can make the argument that DS is a copy of Elantris or the king in yellow? maybe army of darkness?Whats next? Are we going to say that DS is a copy of Vagrant Story or Ultima underground?
>>721445217It's kings field which is LOTR + berserk + lovecraft in dungeon crawling format.
>>721444161you fell hard for the Zanzibart meme my dude. are you a butthurt borderlands writer by any chance?
>>721443237 I never claimed to be, but keep projecting, champ. Just because someone criticizes your favorite bug game doesn't mean they're having a meltdown. Not everyone crying in Dirtmouth is oppressed.
>>721430097>gay jewIs he russian by any chance?
>>721445217>I mean, you can make the argument that DS is a copy of Elantris or the king in yellow? maybe army of darkness?>Whats next? Are we going to say that DS is a copy of Vagrant Story or Ultima underground?no we won't because I've never heard of those games
>>721444161You are wrong on DeS and DS1 but correct with DS 2 and 3. For the first 2, what they actually did, and you could tell if you actually played the games, is create a full picture first, then remove pieces selectively. But because there is a complete picture, you can really infer the missing pieces. It worked very well and stimulated the imagination of every lorefag back in the day.
>>721446641Elantris and King in Yellow are books.Army of Darkness is a movie.Vagrant Story and Ultima Underground are video games.
>>721430665No. You have never played Super Mario Bros. in your entire life you stupid fucking zoomer. Never compare the god-tier physics of this game with this trash.
>>721447045Unlike you I have read The King in Yellow and it has zero connection to DS except the Yellow Monk fight in Demons'It's attached to the Lovecraft Mythos which is obviously a very big Miyazaki inspiration but pretty much nothing like a Lovecraft book except for maybe 2 short stories out of ten.
>>721440535Jumping in Mega Man is also bad (as is movement in those games as a whole), and those games being from an old and established franchise doesn't make them good. Mega Man games make up for it with their bosses, music, and level design, but the core movement is fucking terrible.
>>721447769Mega man games made up for it by being the only thing available
>>721430097Simple and accessible, while a bunch of Youtubers waiting for Silksong hyped it up to ridiculous levels with bullshit analysis videos
>>721447609i played super mario bros deluxe on my gameboy colorgo fuck yourself
>>721446969>You are wrong on DeS and DS1 but correct with DS 2 and 3.DeS and DS1 are 2009-2011. HK is 2017. I will take your word for it, but Dark Souls lore is now a meme, and has been for a long time, including most of the development of HK.
>>721451130>DeS and DS1 are 2009-2011. HK is 2017.which is why it's so obvious Team Cherry devs are full of shit. You didnt play the most paradigm-changing games of the last twenty years as a gamedev and just "stumbled" into a story with the exact same lore? come on now...
