now that the dust has settled, do you think silksong has finally surpassed hollow knight by a wide margin?
>>739415360no, devs went autistic after godhome and didn't really understand everything that people enjoyed from hollow knight
>>739415360Gameplay wise? Yes. Narrative wise? No.
>>739415360Why did so many tall bitches want manket dick?
>>739415909He managed to impregnate a Weaver. The dude had a magic cock.
>>739415909He sacrificed his height in exchange for something else.
>>739415909He's not spiritually a manlet. He was bigger than them all, so he had nothing to prove.
>>739415360>page 10 after 7 posts, only 8 months after releaseWas this game really that unremarkable compared to the original?
>>739415360>>739415909Did the bee queen actually take the Pale Dick?
nahnone of the highs in this game come close to the highs of hk
>>739418320It was just more Hollow Knight. People that loved HK loved it, but it didn't really make anyone new join the fandom, and without the thrill of waiting for Silksong, not much else left to discuss.
>>739418320demographics of /v/ have changedmajority of the posters left aren't human in one way or another
>>739415723spbp, the story and its focus on lace drags the whole game down, plus locking act 3 behind some dumb fetch quests is retarded
He got to motorboat those things
>>739418396>but it didn't really make anyone new join the fandomIt was the single biggest indie gaming release of all time. Crashed the Steam store page and everything. It attracted a shit ton of new fans who've never even heard of HK outside of retarded Reddit hype and memes.>not much else left to discussIt's a 60 hour game, anon. DLC is coming soon, too. There's plenty left to discuss.>>739418494I won't deny that, but intrigue for the game seems to have completely fizzled out much faster than I expected. I thought it was a great game, but it seems I wasn't the only one who felt it lacked the compelling worldbuilding, characters, lore, and intrigue of the first game that allowed it to persist in the gaming cultural landscape. HK greatly influenced its contemporaries, whereas Silksong hasn't had nearly as big an impact 8 months on.
>>739415360>Pharloom is fantastic to explore >combat relies much more on your basic toolkit that HK in which you can stack charms, although some crests (mostly the architect one and the shaman) can change drastically how you play and are super fun>music is excellent again but nothing got really stuck in my ears as the original Hornet theme>pacing is a bit weird, along with the requirements for act 3 (mostly due to the fleas) >sometimes runbacks are awful but most of the moaning I think comes from people trying bosses a bit too early eg. Bilewater>DLC is going to be at least one new area which is novel even for TC20 euros well spent, worth the wait in my opinion>>739418320apart from being "just more HK" consider that:>HK was never too much discussed here and was regularly called Reddit Knight becuase it got too popular I guess>for silksong at most we got "laugh at silksong fans" after an event with no SK news>lore/story is more easily digestable than HK>no enough autists to spam ERP/fap threads 24/7 which tangentially host videogame discussion, which is the main way game are talked here nowadays
>>739418775It's not surprising that a sequel which follows in it's predecessor's footsteps is not as revolutionary as the first, no matter how good it is. As for cultural persistence, HK was helped by a several year long period of player count growth as new people kept discovering it. Silksong on the other hand blew it's load all at once, so to speak.>the compelling worldbuildingI did prefer the general vibe of the world in the first game a bit more. I think the church and wealth inequality themes are just a tad over done, but the execution is good.Silksong is great and the gameplay is more polished and fun, but HK was truly unique.
TEAM CHERRY ADD GODHOME TO SILKSOND AND I WILL SUCK YOUR COCKS
>>739415723This.
>>739418320No, unlike this site
>>739418396>reddit knight successfully gatekept their gamesfucking bizarre. hk was never discussed here to begin with and preferably keep it that way
>>739418754Was this his keikaku all along?
>>739419603Give me Trobbio Encore.
>>739415360Both are lame, Metroidvanias were better when they were about comfy exploration instead of pressing the dodge button at the right time.
>>739421278there is a fuckton of exploration to be done in both games though?
>>739421063>hk was never discussed hereWhy do retards like you spout nonsense like this? Of course it's been discussed here, it's been discussed ad fucking nauseum. I some another of your ilk the other day acting like Outer Wilds never gets discussed on /v/, do you people even use this fucking website? Do you have the memory of a goldfish?
>>739421179While you were raving with some fag, I studied sawblade waltz combo
>>739422849ah, other people have finally discovered how good the saw skirt isi wondered how long it'd take
>>739423881A harder Colosseum would hit so hard for silksong fr ong. So many cool late game builds I can do, but there aren't harder content for them. yet, I have a feeling SoS won't come out this year
I don't know man...https://youtu.be/ON4sPQygYIU?is=FIHdeH_H9Yxg3cI3
