That's why the inter net super information highway was invented I've been fighting the urge to do a replay on my pc recently. The reason I don't want to is because I have a tonne of other great games I want to get to, and I don't want to burn myself out on the format just in time for Silksongs release next year, but the reason I do want to is that is's just such a good game.

I wonder if there will be some goofy Metroid Prime “thing” that nerfs Hornet’s powers at the start of the game. Won’t care either way, game is going to be amazing.

I don't think there's any denying that Celeste does platforming better than Hollow Knight. It is, after all, what that game is entirely designed around. I don't know if I'd call White Palace bad, but it's definitely not leaning on the strongest part of the gameplay. I found myself not enjoying White Palace the first time through the game. Once I got a feel for the mechanics, I have enjoyed every subsequent playthrough of it. It's hard to quantify if that's just because I know what's coming or if I genuinely enjoy those platforming challenges now. I played Celeste after having played Hollow Knight and found almost all of that game to be tougher than what White Palace threw at me, and yet I was never as frustrated as I was playing through WP the first time. I think it's just that the platforming isn't as polished in HK.

No Wave posted:I'm not sure how HK platforming could possibly be more polished. I think the infinite soul totems in PoP are an effective acknowledgement of a weakness in the platforming gameplay. One could argue that managing health through the instant death spike areas were an intentional design decision in HK, but the infinite totems at places where you respawn sort of nullify that argument in PoP. And since that area is an optional ultra hard platforming challenge, it means that TC doesn't intend for management of health through those platforms to be the thing they're testing with the platforming.

Had they been confident in the platforming mechanics, they wouldn't have needed to make such a concession. I did enjoy PoP, FWIW.

Or maybe for the standard White Palace they were okay with the restriction of health (which could be defeated by cleverly realising what charms negate it, or just being told by someone) but for the far more ridiculous Path of Pain challenge they thought it'd be unfair.

brain dammej posted:I think the infinite soul totems in PoP are an effective acknowledgement of a weakness in the platforming gameplay. That doesn't really follow; by that argument every bench or soul/health restoration mechanism would be an acknowledgement of a gameplay weakness. They're really just creating invisible containers for each platforming subsection. Health management is being tested, but only within each subsection. This improves accessibility while providing clearly defined checkpoints for the player to feel a repeating sense of accomplishment, it's good game design.

The white palace is the game's sewer level. Path of pain is a lovely mario romhack.

That's a fair point, but it clearly could have been accomplished in a far less clunky way. Having to thwack a totem and spend time healing to retry a platforming section is busywork that breaks the flow-- which doesn't sound like good game design to me. It certainly doesn't _feel_ fun when you're on your 40th attempt.  I realize that this is probably a rehash of a debate that was had months ago. Sorry folks.

The White Place is bad. Not because it's hard or a shift in gameplay but because it's twenty minutes of constant buzzsaw noises.

Decided to finally go after Radiance and get the good ending on my second play through. Never could do it on my first play through six months ago. I could barely beat the Hollow Knight and get the bad ending. I must’ve got gud, cause that poo poo only took my 30-40 minutes and maybe 10 attempts or so!
