Mina the Hollower
>>739811427Nothing really left to talk about. Game sucks for multiple reasons. No one likes bleep bloop music organically. When your music is supported by nostalgia and not on its own merits that's a bad decision. No one likes gba visuals organically. When your visual style is supported by nostalgia and not on its own merits that's a bad decision.Why the fuck would you lean so hard into retro bullshit rather than make a good experience? Something that in a vacuum has its own merits rather than riding the coattails of other games? UFO 50 did it all a million times better.If nothing else maybe this will serve as the sacrifice to zero imagination trend chasing devs that snes is the limit for low res graphics.
>>739811941>No one likes gba visuals organically.GBC, but I get your point.GBA's issue was the shitty fucking resolution and sound chip.
>>739811427Mina the nigger
>>739811427>>739811941>>739811989Both GBC and GBA visuals are awesome.

Mina fucking flopped. /vee/ WON.
Did someone say yacht?
What’s with all the tortantic posting, did this also happen when silksong dropped?
>>739819308It’s fun to point at laugh at shit games failing. Ignore any other replies you get, this one is correct.
>>739819308No because people actually bought Silksong you retard
>>739811941True, people put up with GBC aesthetics and sounds because that's what you were limited to back then for mobile gaming. If given the choice, people would always prefer a mobile NES/SNES.
>>739819297ok, and?
>>739819308mina is under a different kind of pressure. its also not nearly as good as silksong and most people dont care about it, even at launch
>>739819308hownew.ru
>>739819357sorry I'm ignoring this one too
>Final boss>The games main theme begins to play
>>739819308It's shazzam discordtrannies, unironically.I guess they're trying to go for easy pickings since yacht club's management is a bunch of retarded wastrels
>>739819383silksong had 587,150 players on the first day
>>739819434Where did the cat go?
>>739819534Wanted to avoid shitty games so he left the Mina thread
https://steamcommunity.com/games/219990/announcements/detail/687507011804332720>Cheaper than Mina>More content than Mina
>>739819308YC themselves created the narrative by having their journalist friends run articles about how if Mina doesn’t sell an arbitrary amount, they’ll go tits up.as if they can’t at any time waltz into Microsoft or Sony’s office and ask for a blank check for an exclusive indie title
IGN gave it a perfect 10/10. Should we trust it?
>>739819691>as if they can’t at any time waltz into Microsoft or Sony’s office and ask for a blank check for an exclusive indie titleMS and SONY aren't drunkards with money anymore dog. Only Nintendo has that kinda pocket change and I'd be doubtful they'd care about some shitty indie game.
>Broooo the gameplay is so goooood though bro it's just so good it's 10/10 on ign and metacritic bro
>>739819740>10 by IGNso it's confirmed garbage
>>739819629Have some respect for George Floyd and stop posting this nazi fantasy crap here
I love how attached some /v/igger doomers have become to this game, thinking they finally won oneI don't think your TORtanic is going to last against an entire weekend of normies and e-celebGODs playing the game and realizing it's the GOTY, possible GOTD, but hey you'll always have that magical Thursday night, right?

what is a hollower?
>>739811989>and sound chip.It had no sound chip besides the legacy GB one, that was it's problem. Everything was done off the CPU.
>>739820105makes holesbecause its a rat and rats digsbecause shovel knight used a shovel
>>739820268So with Circle of the Moon, did they just dump heavily compressed wavs or MP3s into the game cart?
>>739819951Alright, what am I to expect here from someone who's beaten Ghouls/Ghosts/Super w/o save states?
>>739820336Just a lot of 11khz sound samples.
>>739820351I think Legend is ridiculous so I'm playing it on Knight, but maybe you can handle it. (Legend is classic two hits and maybe an armor but I think the checkpoints are too stretched out)
>>739820351Also no double jump which I really miss because even though it made the SNES game easy, I really appreciated how it felt.
It's kinda funny to see so little talk about the game, it isnt blowing up on steam either.
>>739820540I can deal with no double jump if I can aim upwards like in Ghouls n' Ghosts.
>>739820607Yeah you can do up and down shots and there's some "new" features I won't mention and maybe you'll like them, maybe you won't, depending on how purist you are.
>>739820757Least it's following mostly traditional GnG rules, unless the shit that was Ultimate. A shame Capcom didn't just wait on localizing that, and gave us the unfucked version of Ultimate instead.
>>739811427>shitty GBC gameGenuinely blows my mindBut I didn't like Shovel Knight either
>>739819629>nose ringDropped.
>>739811427>implying the dev wants "general audiences" instead of retro appreciators like the kind that bought Shovel Knight
>>739820824I'm shocked at the amount of people who say they don't like Shovel KnightIt's like people saying they don't like Super Mario World to me.
>>739819308Silksong launch was the funniest shit on slash vee I've had in years, niggas could not stop fucking malding at the bug game being so popular in the first place and then getting filtered by the first zone because of muh 2 masks damage
>>739819830would've actually given this a try if it didn't have just about the most hideous art style imaginable, better luck next time
>>739819514>Team Cherry and Toby Fox can get 6 figure steam numbers on their new game drops>Yacht Club got 4 figuresGranted, Mina is a new IP, where as Silksong and Deltarune are follow-ups to the previous huge successful game, but still YC has definitely lost considerable momentum since Shovel Knight took the world by storm. And considering Yacht Club has more regulars on staff to pay salary than either of those two, that’s gotta fucking sting.Still hoping Mina gets some decent smut though
>>739819830Did this game take 12 years to make? Why does it look like gameboy shit?
>>739821514Why do you think game devs are being laid off by the literal thousands in California? None of them know how to efficiently work any more.
>>739820824I liked Shovel Knight but this looks like a mess visually, the main character isn't interesting, and the name of the game isn't memorable.
>>739821651>the name of the game isn't memorableit reminds me of hollow knight, a game i'd rather be playing
>>739811941i like GBC visuals a lot. GBA visuals look pretty bad, a lot of them just looked like really ugly flash games and used too much 3D
>>739821836>and used too much 3DProblem was a lot of games used 3d without the artist skill to make the non-3d elements not stick out like a sore fucking thumb. We should have had a generation of GBA games all looking like DKC or better, but instead we get awkward 3d models rendered to a sprite sheet, with basic-ass looking environment pixel art.
>>739811427They’re appealing to me and that’s all that matters.
>>739811941>No one likes bleep bloop music organicallyIsn't chiptune an entire genre built off the back of people liking bleep bloop music organically?
>>739811989>GBA sound badNah, it was just lazy/unskilled devs.Plenty games with good sound on the system, but since it was basically the only handheld in its generation it got a fuckload of really shitty ones too.
>>739821391I honestly don't care about any of those, or their games, but Undertale/Deltarune and Silksong are extremely overrated and definitely shouldn't have been as popular as they turned out to be.It honestly feels like a cheatcode was used, because I've never seen games of these type explode in popularity like that
>>739822515I can only speak for silksong, hollow knight is hugely popular and has steadily only ever gotten more popular since it's release, you wouldn't know it if you never played the first game and just saw some streamer play silksong all of a sudden. I'm sure understale's story is similar
I'm so out of the loop on the mina thing. Can somebody explain why opinion turned sour? Last I remember was that anon posting "what does she hollow" threads a while back and people were generally positive then. Now it's like everyone hates it
>>739822664pixelshit fatigue on top of being the pixeliest of shits
I remember a dev/shill put art of this game up on Wplace and it was surrounded by tranny flags. Knew it would flop since then.
Disabling SFX makes this game playable, the soundtrack doesn't seem bad, graphics lean too heavily into previous works however the player is engaged with the core mechanics from the start.There is too much game, not enough art in this. I think it's still worth its asking price.
>>739822664The demo was kind of eh, but mostly it's just /v/'s obsession with watching games fail
>>739823221>There is too much gamewewonly on /v/ - video games
The readability is reduced by this gbc artstyle, and it looks like shit. Why the fuck would they aim for this instead of just a snes style? They coast so much on the retro gimmick, I can’t believe so many reviewers eat this shit up. Nice to see that hyperbolic praise fade for audiences a bit
>>739824843>mouse character>no pants>pit sweat>home base is called "bone zone"They're really trying to appeal to furries huh
>>739824843>>739825016Sorry that wasn't meant to be a reply, I'm just retarded.
>>739823221>too much game>too>much>gamekek, this post should be taken as an example that an endorsement from /v/ is as valid as a 10/10 by IGN, maybe even lessat least in IGN they actually try to play the game they are talking about
No more BLM donations ig...
>>739811427>improperly used memes
>>739824843>I can’t believe so many reviewers eat this shit upThis is actually a big issue, and it's never reflected in any of the journalists scores. Usually, they're the first one to cry about something even if it's just slightly unreadable. But this game is actually 10x worse than anything I've ever played. It actually hurts my eyes and no game ever did that before.Really can't trust journalists. I wonder if most of them even played the game, at all.
>>739819381Which is why Atari Lynx and Sega Game Gear were massive successes compared to the Game Boy
>>739820867The dev wants money, but their incompetent, so they make retro schlock
>>739826484actually making models with 5 pixels is really difficult
>>739826579Sprites, not models, but I said “their” no “they’re, so we’re even. Something being hard does not make it worthwhile of the result is still shit
>>739811427I bet you complained about Shovel Knight being "Just NES." You don't care about gameplay at all.
>>739826824>The gameplay>It's just souls-like on 2D>The innovative point being: "rolling" is gated behind jumping, and the amount of heal depends on the number of hits you do on enemies (OR props/plants)wow, so amazing, so innovative gameplay
>>739819629>not the same genre at allRetarded-take. Consider stapling your nuts to your legs.
>>739826824I really really wish Mina was "Just top down zelda"
>>739826960>gated behind jumpingyou sound like a fucking idiot. Maybe iframe dodges SHOULDN'T be instantly executable, you fucking soulsborne casual.
>>739819308What’s ironic is “tortanic” is still online and chugging along all these years later.
>>739827276I'd rather have a dodge without any iframe, than whatever shit they made with digging.You're the fucking soulslike retard that wants soulslike mechanics. I don't.
>>739827556The digging is more for platforming and secret hunting than combat. But you are just looking for a reason to throw a fit, so I don't know why I'm telling you.
>>739827667>The digging is more for platforming and secret hunting than combatNta, but this is complete cope. It’s absolutely a huge part of the combat. What a stupid thing to say
>>739827667I'm not looking for any reason to throw a fit. I actually wanted to like the game, but its flaws are just gamebreaking for me.But you're the one who can't take any criticism at all. The game must be perfect in your eyes and any statement that doesn't go that way is>a reason to throw a fitBro, just playing 2mn on a PC screen, and most people would say the game hurts their eyes, or that the music loops too quickly. But not for you, huh?
tried. not feeling it at all. will give it another go tomorrow
>>739827803It's really not. It's useful for repositioning because she moves faster underground, but having to pop in and out to initiate and escape from the ground means you can't just slot it in like a 1 frame dodge roll.
>>739828175It really is. It trivializes and ton of boss attack phases. Once you know their patterns and their tells, it’s easy to skip entire sections. The increase in start up is totally offset by the length of the invincibility. Don’t be an idiot
>>739825289>Usually, they're the first one to cry about something even if it's just slightly unreadable.Because they all played it on Switch's smaller screen.
>>739819383Yacht Club Games is dedge
