just reached act 2, thinking about quitting this. Its just not as fun as hollow knight
>>748984134filtered
>>748984134That was the best act, too.
unironically can not fathom how someone could enjoy slogknight but not like silksong
>>748984252>filtered
>>748984134every game with acts is fucking gay and retarded
>>748984134hollow knight was a masterpiece, troonsong is a troonerpiece. Someone post the devs
better to quit a game you are not enjoying then force yourself through it, then spend the next 10 months seething and shitposting about it on /v/ like everyone else here does.
Act 3 is pretty bad overall but you'd be missing an absolute banger of a true final bossfight.
>>748984679but he hasn't even done act 2. I personally dropped the game in act 3 but I'd still recommend people finish act 2.
I always complain about games being too easy but Silksong is sadistic. I especially loathe the long platforming sections. Even with cheats its still no fun. It's one of the most overcooked, unpleasant games I've ever played
>>748984134https://store.steampowered.com/app/2827750/Fatal_Claw/this one was better
The game only gets worse at that point with only a few actually great boss battles.Its way too fucking long. Over 95 hours to 100% on a first run, i wish act 3 didnt even exist.Oh yeah, spoiler alert i guess. Hope you like finding fleas, thats not really an optional side objective btw.
>>748985183They really got bit hard by the FROMsoft "people thought our previous game was hard? we gotta make this one 10x harder!!!!" virusI had no major problems with bosses, but some of the level design and platforming sections really felt like their sole goal in designing them was to make people angry
>>748984134yep, it's bloated, author fell in love with xer own shit kinda slop>>748984679I'm pretty sure a common complain is how the end is anti climactic, unless you mean game play wise
I don't remember the last time anything in a videogame made me seethe like Flea Dodge did.
>>748984134Funny, I've been replaying hollow knight after doing a steel soul run in silksong and I can't believe just how shitty, slow, retarded everything is in HK. Save for the trial of the fools and the path of pain the game is extremely monotonous and boring, you can overcome everything in the game with stats. 2 hours in and you can get 4 pale ore, you're never in danger unironically. Enemy AI is boring, locations are boring, elevators in the city of tears are fucking retarded and waste your time, movement speed is slow even with dashmaster and the other charm no seriously fuck this shit game
>>748984134Play Zexion if you want an actually good metroidvania game.
>>748985454Not evenFromsoft games have a dominant strategy, mechanics or weapons or abilities that can completely trivialize encounters. Weapons that are just absolutely broken and humiliate bosses. Silksongs development was them playtesting and going>"hmm, that wasnt right, it was too fun and easygoing, make it harder and more of a pain in the ass"And they would move checkpoints further and add more enemies and gauntlets to boss battles and shit.
>>748984134It was way better than Hollow Knight except for the dumb quests.
>>748985775>Weapons that are just absolutely broken and humiliate bossesSilksong gives you tools which can also shit all over difficult bosses
>>748985692How did you retards not see this instantly the first time around? I hated that game.
>>748984134okay bro do it. im with you
>>748984134The game is simply too long and too big.
>>748984679>absolute banger of a true final bossfight.>teleports in front of you after you dash so you take damage>occasionally blends in with the foreground so you can't see the final boss
>>748986058quit running like a bitch and she won't have to chase you like a bitch
>>748986058So don't dash away from herI just stay on her face and spam like a maniac with wanderer crest attack speed, by the time you've learned her moves and patterns it's fun as shitYou're right about the visibility problem though
>>748984134Thats fine, after ((the swamp)) it was mostly hatred against the game that kept me going. First game was better
>>748984679>bangerTrue final boss is a rehashed garbage, i was baffled how terrible it was.
>>748986279>>748986420>input reading bullshit, darksouls >:(>input reading bullshit, silktroon :0
>>748984134That's a bad sign because hollow knight was extremely boring.
>>748985692>>748986835>>748985854samefag, troons, or even possibly sametroon
>>748984134>thinking about quitting thisdon't be a faggot
>>748986941Hollow Knight and silksong have actual troons in it btwPot calling the kettle black
>>748986762it doesn't input read, the teleports will sometimes just be on top of you if you're randomly running aroundif you're patient and wait in place, it will never teleport directly on youin that fight you should only be moving if you're chasing her down to attack her or directly avoiding an attack
>>748984134Skill issue
>>748986941>shartfag>Hollow Knight deepthroater
>>748984134I'm having a great time unless I think about fighting Groal
>>748984134Simple question that will most likely make it obvious why you aren't having fun.Which crest are you using?
>>748988359>Which crest are you using?This matters a lot.I never use reaper so I decided to do a playthrough using only reaper today and holy fuck, not only does that crest suck balls but it's boring as fuck too.Feels like you're playing the game in slow motion. No other crest feels so lethargic, not even shaman which is meant to be a hang back and play safe crest. Just about the only fun thing you can do with reaper is bind + flea brew combo, and that allows you to... generate just as much silk as wanderer does naturallyIf you're using reaper and the game feels like a chore, it's because of reaper. Switch off that boring garbage asap.
>>748984134Silksong is shit so go ahead and drop it.
>>748984134then quit faggot, this isn't your gay blog
>>748987692hollow knight has troons? how come? dev only trooned out recently
>>748988896i have been literally using reaper because its the one that most resembles hollow knight kek. guess i could try that then
>>748984134I could only stand 2 hours of this game, will it be any better on Switch 2?
>>748989810Why would it be different at all on switch 2 you retarded faggot
>>748989889I can play it while my wife's boyfriend watches football
>>748984134>is objectively better than its predecessor in literally (as in non figuratively) every single way>normal fags hated itI genuinely dont understand the mind of goy cattle
>>748984134Act 2 is solid enough to finish. If you're still feeling that way after Act 2, definitely skip Act 3.
>>748990120>>748990120it's too hard from the get go for me, Hollow Knight had a slow progression of difficulty, Silk Song goes balls to the wall almost immediately.I liked exploring in hollow knight because it was chill, Silk Song felt like a gauntlet and it made me drop it.
>>748990120I think it lacked some of the highs of Hollow Knights environmental atmosphere A big thing is the ending sequence to me sort of sucked because I never liked Lace all too much
>>748984134Agreed, no wonder it flopped big time
>>748986941get filtered subhuman, hollow knight is a moviegame compared to silksong
>>748984134Kek, so you've discovered that you're bad at video games.
>>748989605switch to wanderer immediatelyuse a simple key on the leftmost part on the map near the beginning of the game
>>748984134I liked the combat but act 2 plataforming made me drop it.
>>748990120its literally the other way around retard. Reddit and gitguders and normalfags loves the game
>>748991659and troons, dont forget about the troons
>>748984679>you'd be missing an absolute banger of a true final bossfightBut he would have already fought lace twice by then
>>748988896Reaper has nice slots and is the best for pogoingBut for melee yes it's ass
lmao
>>748992121whers the option "the game is chore trash and heavily carried by memes" ?
>>748984679karmelita isn't the final boss though?
>>748992391karmelita is shit and her constant voice is annoying
>>748992449>karmelita bad>lost lace goodtranny opinion
>>748987795>it doesn't input read, the teleports will sometimes just be on top of you if you're randomly running aroundrunning agressively towards the boss is not "randomly running around" its the most rewarding way to fight every preceding bossshe can telefrag you sometimes if you rush towards her
>>748992121It's probably because modern day Xbox has easily the most casual playerbase of the bunch, I'm prwtty sure Silksong was free on gamepass too so some gamerdads and gun&ball gamers tried it, dropped it, and bumped the overall values down
>>748993935what about steam? whats the cope there xister?
>>748985454>They really got bit hard by the FROMsoft "people thought our previous game was hard? we gotta make this one 10x harder!!!!" virusBut silksong is unironically easier than hollow knight.
>>748984679I liked the heart bosses more than the final fight.>NAO
>>748994614No it isn't
>gruelling platforming to reach the surface above the milf bug god>it's a fucking memory or some shitI was hoping for a cool ability or tool.
>>748996157Yeah it felt like a spit in the face.
>>748984368they're probably slow, like most people on this board
>>748995907It really is though. You're way faster. And you're aerial mobility is much better too. And the significantly better healing effectively makes you bulkier as well. Which is made even more significant when your improved movement and improved healing are combined, against bosses who no longer heal-check you. In Hollow Knight you simply can't heal 80% of the time unless you stun the boss, but in Silksong you can just run off towards a window of safety and heal whenever you want. Silksong is the more engaging game of the two, but it is also the easier game.
>>748986279I love how people say this without acknowledging the fuck huge arena they gave Lost Lace. It was an odd choice for a fight that expects you to hug the boss.
>>748997875>It was an odd choice for a fight that expects you to hug the boss.Does it? I never did that. The trick is just to time your running appropriately. She never actually teleports ontop of you. If you stand still whenever she initiates the teleport, she never lands on you. Rather than she teleporting onto you, it's more accurate to say that you run into her if you don't stop when she disappears. And with Silkspeed equipped, you can really space the fight.
>>748996157climbing up to the cradle should've been the hell platforming with pale nails as the reward
>>748998936actually, the trick is to cling to the walls because she's almost entirely incapable of hitting you when positioned right.
>>748998936>The trick is just to time your running appropriately.retarded takeEvery single boss is best fought by being aggressive, repeatedly running towards them, hammering them. It makes the game stylish and exciting. Its the more rewarding option, when you cant do it you play like more of a passive bitch instead.Lost Lace has like 3-4 types of situations where she can accidentally telefrag you if you try to be agressive towards her, forcing you to act more like a passive defensive player for no good reason. Lace 2 doesnt have this problemHer disappearing 200~ms before you dash (aka too fast for you to react and refrain from dashing) can still leave her at your end destination which is absolutely fucked up
>>749001204>. It makes the game stylish and exciting. Its the more rewarding option, when you cant do it you play like more of a passive bitch instead.Forgot to mention how being aggressive makes you truly make the use of your entire moveset. If youre playing passive theres almost no real reason to press 1/2 the buttons in the game. you just walk and m1, way less animation cancelling, way less clawlining other than for the most braindead obvious of gap closers, no use for the skills you learned in the 60 hours of playing because youre pressing buttons in the same way as you could press them at the 5 hour mark
>>749001204>retarded take>Every single boss is best fought by being aggressive, repeatedly running towards them, hammering them.If you're moving forward when she teleports, she will land ontop of you. You don't need to run away. But you need to stop your horizontal forwards movement.
>>748984679The final boss is a fight that had already been reused once before
lost lace was not only disappointing mechanically but even lore-wise she was just kinda thereGMS was the sameact 3 bosses like karmelita or khann + gauntlet had more hype behind them
>>748984134that means ur bad & u got filtered, retard
