Since we're talking charm builds, any suggestions for what works for GPZ? He's been my consistent roadblock in Godhome.

However, you can heal once when you hear him go Thundaa and the exploding ghosts appear. Alternatively you can leave him to die and he won't appear in godhome?

on the one hand, the pure and objectively correct decision to let Zote die on the other hand, your integrity as a hardcore gamer truly a dilemma for the ages

Excuse me, but Zote is actually a knight of great renown and does not need your help

GPZ is one of the best fights in the game and I'm convinced that most people just approach it the wrong way. Don't try to anticipate his moves, just react to what he does!

I had been having pangs of nostalgia for Super Metroid, wishing I could get that first-time experience again... At which point I remembered a friend had gifted me Hollow Knight as a Christmas gift during Steam Sale and I just slept on it. With the full weight of SM  in my system, finally coming to this game was exactly the experience I had been craving.The art work, sound design, and the absolutely amazing score...I just can't gush enough about this game. One of my all-time favorites!

they've been pretty radio silent, it's a case of "they aren't releasing until it's ready, no matter how long it takes"

The team is based in Adelaide, they're fine pandemic-wise. It'll be ready when it's ready.

They went from nothing to being millionaires. I'd give myself a few years to enjoy myself before getting back into the tedious and grinding work of game development.

I do think having a gameplay demo to show off at E3 in 2019 and then nothing else two years on does bode very poorly. Even if they've not disbanded it seems like something has gone very wrong with development

The original game overshot its release target by a long time iirc. It was something like two years from the Kickstarter to release. And Silksong was technically an unmet stretch goal on that Kickstarter lol

I also don’t think people really appreciate how much work goes into a game when you only have 2 people who know how to code, one guy who draws EVERY FRAME OF ANIMATION and then one guy who writes and records every song themselves. Also they had that big gaming cover story in January-February of this year.

Darox posted:Sharp Shadow is absolutely incredible for NKG (and most bosses really, underrated charm), it lets you get a lot of free hits in and gives you more leeway for dashing through him and his attacks. The uppercut is trivial to dodge when you can just dash through him and sit underneath, you can hit him during the dive and so on. I feel like healing during Flame Pillar is probably a mistake since you can get 3-4 clean hits on NKG while it's out. The real value of Shape of Unn on NKG is low profiling the fireball attack.

The real value of Shape of Unn on NKG is low profiling the fireball attack. You can still get 3 hits and a heal during flame pillar, plus 2-3 hits during the flame bats though. Plus the extra charm notches from not needing Shape of Unn.

I did NKG on radiant a couple of weeks ago over the course of a couple of hours. I just used shaman stone and unbreakable strength, although mark of pride probably would have made dodging his dive attack easier. That was the only attack I had trouble dodging consistently, either from mistiming the pogo as he landed or not staying in the air long enough to avoid the fire trail. I eventually just used desolate dive to avoid that attack altogether. Shaman stone wasn't very useful but I was practicing from the pantheon of hallownest so I just kept my charm layout the same. He's not that bad, it's just a long fight and you have to play pretty cleanly for a long period of time. I have way more trouble with Grey Prince Zote (I love that fight I'm just bad at it). Edit: spoilered the boss name because I see a new player just posted and I don't want to ruin the surprise.

Tampa Bae posted:Team Cherry went on holiday in December 2019 and haven't come back yet on social media or their own website. Before that was E3 where they showed the teaser and demo at E3 in June 2019. They're a 3 man team making huge, polished games. I wouldn't assume anything until they're like 5 years behind schedule. With the financial success of hollow knight there is ZERO reason to speak about the game right now. But if they do talk and say the wrong thing, they could No Man's Sky themselves. Don't jump to any conclusions. The lesson of the game industry in general has been to talk about your game less before release, and they're a microscopic team with all hands plenty busy enough they don't need distractions.

I hope they spend 36 hours a week at work and enjoy their lives and success because that will probably make the final product better and it is definitely better for them.

If the hollow Knight teams posted “were communists and only do max 4 hours of labor a day before loving off to the beach and getting drunk” I’d just as happily wait another 2 years. You should really only have to make one totally perfect masterpiece in your lifetime and everything after that is just gravy.

Ciaphas posted:appreciate the thought btw - at this point i'm well past it Godhome is funny because I did some of it when it first came out and decided I would never finish it, but then kept picking it back up once every few months to play it a bit. I finally bit the bullet and commited to finishing it a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Don't feel bad looking up how to start it, or Grimm Troupe. They're well-hidden. I stumbled upon Grimm Troupe myself but I don't know that I would have ever found Godhome's start on my own, partially because I had already explored that area before godhome was released but also partly because it's just a weird spot to hide something.
