Was act 3 really necessary?
>>
>>731054862
no
simple enemies take more hits to kill
the game takes away your fast travel until you kill a boss
bosses are all boring except the ant
navigation becomes a pain
>>
>>731054862
Yes. Were the fetch quests that have to be completed in order to access it necessary? Probably not
>>
>>731054862
Considering I got the regular ending and then stopped playing the game, I'm gonna have to say no, it wasn't.
>>
Yes
>>
>>731054862
Just when I thought scadutree fragments were the replay killer of all time this game came out with the fucking flea hunting.
>>
>>731054862
No, I didn't play it and I enjoyed my time with the game

Narratively, yeah. I just wish it wasn't so bogged down with extra frustrating bullshit on top of that.
>>
>>731054862
Retards here convinced me that act 3 is awful. After playing it, I realized that they got filtered because it's like 4 boss fights
>>
>here is a harder optional section of the game you can do if you liked the rest of the game and want more
Why would this be bad in any way
>>
>>731054862
I mean yes the game would have been short as shit without it.
Was it good? eh. Don't hate it don't love it.
>>
Why would you complain about even more content? I'm hyped for the dlc personally.
>>
>>731054862
No
>>
I have no idea because I dropped the game immediately upon entering it.
I think I died to that thing that invaded the fast travel station. Just didn't care anymore.
>>
>>731054862
God damn this game is sweet, also I got in a situation trying to progress through Sands of Korak and didn't feel like resolving it until later
>>
>>731054862
yes

>>731055597
>short as shit
HK was already the second longest game in the genre after La Mulana, and the first two acts of Silksong are longer than HK.
>>
>>731054862

Yes, but they botched the execution.
>>
>>731055561
>optional
>it's the actual ending of the game

Was this?

Is it really optional if I want to see Hornet succeed?
>>
It's godawful barring a single boss and you can't make me give a shit about lace no matter how much you try.
>>
>>731056934
>bug has mates
does this really make men feel insecure?
>>
>>731054862
Yes. Better way of doing a boss gauntlet thingy than how HK did it.
>>
>>731058093
>he thinks the boss gauntlet for the shitty extra ending isn't coming

>Game has generic and bland smug rival character only show up a few times in the game
>Has character dump her sob story in a very rushed way that feels forced after you defeat her the second time
>Character """saves""" you from GMS but it also causes the void to spread through the whole of Pharloom
>Game has you try to save Lace as the ultimate goal and expects you to sympathesize with her
>People unironically ship her with Hornet
Team Cherry sucks at writing

>>731054862
Not even act 2 was, I was done with the game at the end of act 1.

It feels really disorganized.
There are a handful of new things but you basically need to go out of your way to find them.
Enemies randomly turning dark without even increases to drops or something makes fighting them feel like a chore.
Out of new bosses, it feels like they first worked on Karmelita and then ran out of steam, two other big bosses are inconsequential. At least Craw court looked pretty cool, a bit sad that I beat it first try.
Lace is a lame final boss from both gameplay and narrative perspective.
There's some irony in how the game tries to make granny and Lace seem significant but even Hornet herself approaches the subject with a consistent stoic "let's get this shit over with" mindset.

I think the shittiest part that really soured my impressions on Act 3 was the shitty flea minigames locking the last pale oil upgrade. You have the last act not really have much else upgrades to get besides the ceiling harpoon (which is just more so a movement upgrade than a combat one), the Shaman crest and few other things, so you don't really have much else going. So locking the last attack upgrade behind some shitty minigames is just so bad.

At least Karmelita is arguably one of the best bosses in the game, even though a fair amount of act 3 bosses kind of suck.
