>supposed to be one of the most anticipated games ever>came and went like it never even happenedwhat went so wrong?
>>728752075Didn't its update get more views than E33 which was "Geoff of the Year" winner?
>>728752075It's real good.
>>728752075It came out in 2026. Modern gaming is a joke and any game that comes out nowadays is forgotten in a year at most
A million other things came out. Market is saturated more than ever perhaps?
>still gets daily threads, multiple times a day, about how it's forgotten and nobody remembers it

>>728752075Some moments were really really good. Other moments are so intentionally frustrating and time-wasting that it poisoned my ability to enjoy the rest of it.
>>728752779brutal moggin
>>7287527793 milli? Goddamn I thought it would be 700k
>>728752075It's no Hollow Knight
Game was too easy. Nowhere near as hard as Hollow Knight was, especially the final boss and the true final boss who was even easier
It broke a bunch of storefronts the day it came out, it's one of the biggest indie games in history. Does it deserve it? Who knows. I thought Hollow Knight was a really good game but there are a million excellent metroidvanias and that's not even including the dozen 10/10 true Castlevanias. People don't need to talk about shit forever and ever. Especially when a buttload of great games came out last year, Silksong was just one of them.
>>728752075Didn't it break several digital storefronts on release? Everyone who wanted to play it played it.
>>728752075were you in a coma for a month or two or something?
>>728752075What broke your mind, OP?The free DLC annoucement?The 7+ million sales? (doesn't include Game Pass players)The new QoL updates to Hollow Knight?
>>728752297>This is how silksong can still win GOTY: It came out in 2026
>Silksong gets an uptick in sales when HK3 is anounced, the same way HK1 got one when SS got a release date>Kills steam again
>>728752075Why bother with Hollow Knight: Troonsong if you can play the real one without all the tranny influence?
>>728753840Because Silksong is such a mechanical improvement it feels worse to play the original now.
>>728752075It's just a platformer. A really good platformer but thats all
>>728752652I don't know why they do this, it's absolutely inscrutable.
>>728752075what do you mean?The game still more players than many popular multiplayer games, which is still impressive for a single player game>>728753840Now talk without whining about your tranny boogeyman
>this thread three times a day every day for 4 months.a few months ago i joked about how silksong had completely mindbroken /v/now it's just sad.
>>728752652Hollow Knight is one of the most influential and important indie games of all time and redefined an entire genre. Silksong, as successful as it is, doesn't feel like it's accomplishing anything in the long term. It has changed nothing in the landscape of gaming, unlike its predecessor.
>>728754837It exposed how fucking bad at videogames /v/ is
>>728754837>Hollow Knight is one of the most influential and important indie games of all time and redefined an entire genre.Replace "Hollow Knight" with Minecraft or FNAF and that would be accurateI don't know what games HK has inspired
>>728754837Hollow Knight was a nice solid game, not any kind of paradigm shifter. Silksong is even better.
>>728752779FUCK, QUICKLY SOMEONE FLIP THEM OVER>Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 | Thank You Update Trailer3 million views>Hollow Knight: Silksong - Sea of Sorrow Teaser600k viewsWhat now, chuds?
>>728755430... what? Huh? How do you think this works?
>>728754837you need to remember that Hollow Knight when it came out was known as 2D darksouls with bugs
I remember how many /v/irgins Silksong filtered at release. It was constant crying about difficulty. So enjoyable to witness
>>728752075Fetch quests
>>728753750People won't get tricked again. They didn't beat Silksong, they won't go back or buy the next one.
>>728756712If I know one thing about normalfags it's that they LOVE to stumble into random fucking media pretending they've always loved it. It'll happen again.
>>728756547oh yea about that i thought about it for a bit and then it hit me, they had us do those before act 3 cuz it wouldn't make sense to do them in act 3 no body would send you looking for shiny bells when the world is ending so there were two options make the quest required or make em missable they went with the first
>>728752779the game awards views: 171 million...
>>728758287Sorry, don't tell them that if you announce your update in front of a live audience they don't need to watch the trailer.
>>728753458Genshit impact was nominated for player choice despite coming out years ago because according to geoff release dates mean nothing now
>>728754837HK much like nu-Prey were originally ignored and overlooked in their release years, and were only given the proper respect and recognition retrospectively in subsequent years. Every gaming journo was glazing other indies like Cuphead, Edith Finch and Night in the Woods in 2017, nobody gave a shit about HK until its Switch port snd final DLC lmao.
>Hornet uses a cool grappling hook in her HK boss fights>Oh man it's taking 8 years to make because they're completely redesigning the environments to make them work with her grapple hook mechanic>Game comes out>Hornet mysteriously lost the ability to grapple hook with her needle and thread>Environments are the same brown and grey tunnels from HK>Double jump and wall grab, same as HKFuck you Team Cherry I know you pussed out because grapple hook mechanics are hard
>>728756320I seethed about moorwing in one of those launch day threads but that was the only boss I had difficulty with. Pretty funny in hindsight. Good times.
>>728758754>>Hornet mysteriously lost the ability to grapple hook with her needle and threadDoes he know?
>OG Hollow Knight.5/10 Soulslike made in Flash.>Silksong.1/10 Ubisoft radio tower slop made in Flash.
>>728753840Looking back, it's funny how the entire city infrastructure was just three towers staples together. Pale King is such a fraud compared to Weaverchads
>>728754961This.I remember an Anon fucking wished death on my family because I said the game was easy and he thought I was baiting him. Holy shit how fucking bad you have to be at vidya to react like that.
The internet zeitgeist is fickle and is constantly looking for a new shiny thing to gawk at, even if the last shiny thing wasn't that long ago. That's why excellent singleplayer games fade out of the forefront really fast while mediocre games with live service bullshit stay on people's minds for months. Unless you unironically want to argue that Marvel Rivals is better than Silksong.
>>728754837>>728754961>>728759652This is harder than anything in your slop 2D left and right trannyvania
>>728759784what am i looking at?
>>728754708MOGGED
>>728759914Kino
>>728752075friend of mine stopped halfway throu act 2the game is just way too bloated for its own good
>>728759914A sequence of pure timing based parries executed perfectly followed by a counter with presumably ludicrously stacked effects. E33 is an RPG, it looks like competent RPG gameplay, unsure why he's comparing it to Silksong though, especially trying to shit on it for being 2D when this particular gameplay clip might as well be 1D.
>>728759784So because you play one hard game you can never play other hard games?
>>728752075Because gamers were expecting a new game in HK setting but what they got was literally the same game with reused assets
>>728759467Well you can't really give credit to the Weavers for the Citadel. If Pious Isamor is to be believed, which the fact the Vaultkeeper Pontiff hid it away inclines me to, when the Weavers handed the keys to the Citadel to the Conductors, it was relatively stark and bare. The only real hierarchy was the Grand Mother, the First Children, and everyone else. It was the Conductors that transformed Pharloom into what it looks like today.
>>728760526Anon lives in a very interesting other world.
>>728760562You know I'm right
>>728760618I can objectively see that you're not even close, retard-kun.
>>728760539I thought the general timeline is that while the Conductors gilded the Citadel, the Weavers were the ones who laid the foundations and created the whole pilgrimage/threefold melody journey in the first place. It was only later after they fled when the Conductors removed Pious Isamor + concentrated on the completion of the Cogwork Core
>>728760773You are correct.At the least when this statue was made, the idea was that there was no distinction between the Pilgrims. Because it was everyone's job to serve Pharloom. >...ilgrim!... ast aside those many sinful hopes for rest ...d reward... remain pure... within our midst... sk for nothing!>See... Citadel's simple stone, bare an... dorned. See h...ain our garb, how sparse o... meal. Know that... excess is sin!>Stay vigil... ys, for tho... wretched pilgrims... dare relen... their base desi... >Left unpunish... thin our pure chorus... eir seductive sin... pread like flame...Those last 2 lines are critical because when Pious Isamor was still preaching to new pilgrims, it expressly warned them to watch out for bugs that give in to "base desires." And... yeah. That's exactly what happened. When the Conductors took over and the Weavers fled Pharloom, they wrapped themselves in Silk and gold, enslaved every other bug in service to themselves, and tried to automate the Threefold Melody. Nobody other than Conductors and the Pontiff even knows the purpose of the song anymore or why the Citadel even exists.

>>728759467You will never make me hate the Pale King, William Pellen.
>>728758754holy fucking retard
>>728752075This is one of those games shitters on /v/ are going to pick up 20 years later in an attempt to "catch up" with people actually playing video games during some midlife crisis
>>728761794The Pale King seems to be a good monarchy who was forced to make some shitty decisions. Versus the Weavers who were shitty rulers who sometimes made good decisions.
I want a mod to re-enable the explicit content.
>>728761979I would like whatever that is too>>728761887The crisis can be full-life instead of mid-life. Let's make it happen.
If there is not a swimming Lace scene in the DLC i'm uninstalling
>>728755682Why didn't you just say 2d darksouls?
>>728762281>STOP TRYING TO FUCK OUR DAUGHTER
>>728761979I find these guys hot...
>>728752075I came into your mum and left like it never happened, son
>>728761979
>>728762364cuz that's how i remember youtubers saying it and i think alot of them said "with bugs" and i also think alot of them didn't even say "2d" it was mostly "darksouls with bugs"
>>728759784This game genuinely looks awful, like the camera work during that entire sequence was nauseating, no wonder people don't talk about or post much gameplay it looks like utter shit.
>>728762281>Silk in waterI think her swimsuit would just be a big ziplock bag
>>728763470the camera zooms are there for parry tells.
>>728754837>redefined an entire genreNo it didn't? I can't think of a single thing HK did that changed or inspired the genre to change.
>>728763859It stole soulslop elements and made cartoony graphics. Truly groundbreaking.
>>728764072Didn't Salt and Sanctuary do that a year earlier?
>>728764275Salt and Sanctuary looks like shit though.
>>728764328Not going to disagree with that.
>>728756320I still remember the Nintendo fanboy posting tranny porn in every Silksong thread because he couldn't stand watching people talk and enjoy about the game, compared to whatever he still fanboys over at his cardboard toy company.
