KingSlime posted:OP I disagree with your simply incorrect thoughts on hollow knight but appreciate your effortpost on what the genre has to offer. I gotta check out half of those non CV games still I felt an effort post was required or else the opinion would be treated as a poo poo post. I get why people "think" Hollow Knight is an interesting game. The art style is really well done and it kind of feels like a dark souls game pretending that it is something that tests the players skill. But if you pull back the artwork, its just a generic souls-clone that doesn't offer anything fun or unique and ultimately feels like a complete boring slog. catgirlgenius posted:i'm not seeing Momodora anything on that list. cute little games! Sorry, I found them kinda...."meh". quote:
I think that is fair. However Hollow Knight was far more blatant and, worse, missed the mark completely. For me, I'm just even more baffled that its highly regarded. Liked...sure, I get that. But rising to masterpiece level? Its like if someone said Chasm: the Rift was the best FPS ever made. catgirlgenius posted:i'll finish Dragon Quest 2 on my phone before I touch the mainstream gamer's new hotness.

Additionally, if the boss is charging at you in a completely straight line it's sometimes possible to dash through it and your sword will hit the tail on the other end. Ok, cool. I’ll keep that all in mind, thanks!

I dunno I actually loved the environments in hollow knight and the fact that it's a super metroidvania - you always have different objectives and goals that you can approach in the order you prefer. My second playthrough I was just tearing across the map knocking out objectives and collectibles in very efficient ways and it was an absolute blast As a dark souls fan I actually just really like hollow knight based on its own separate merits entirely. Huge map, BUGS, dark moody environments that is a very different somber tone than the one dark souls goes for. The soundtrack alone features a ton of tracks, some even upbeat and hopeful. And there's basically almost always music playing everywhere you go Probably the only thing that they straight up a crib from dark souls is the lore themes and the ghost that pops up after you die. But I'd go as far as to see that there's really not that many similarities other than moody spooky kingdom I didn't think it was an especially difficult game either as far as 2D games go anyways. Some of the end game stuff gets a bit hard yeah but most of the game is pretty breezy E: I don't think the combat mechanics are similar at all (no stamina, a lot of arial movement and combat moves etc) other than learning patterns which is kind of a standard for video games. I love the refilling magic pool based on hitting enemies which you can spend on either offense or healing, maybe that's something that from soft should steal from them KingSlime fucked around with this message at 04:28 on May 12, 2023 |

Not a metroidvania but in the same style that I HIGHLY recommend: MO:Astray - eshop link Incredibly fun game that gets overlooked a lot.

My second playthrough I was just tearing across the map knocking out objectives and collectibles in very efficient ways and it was an absolute blast I couldn't imagine going through it a second time. A large number of areas are just so incredibly dull. Queen's Gardens and Greenpath especially. virtualboyCOLOR fucked around with this message at 04:40 on May 12, 2023 |

The only thing that bugged me (HA!) about Hollow Knight is how heavy it lifts from Dark Souls' tone. It's not a "Souls-like", it's very much a metroidvania, it's got a couple of Souls mechanics in there, but not enough to classify it as such imo. The idea of a bug world feels cool and original...It's got a bunch of it's own ideas already. But then they go and name everything like it came from a Dark Souls random name generator and give all the NPCs dialog that sounds like Dark Souls and call the drat game Hollow Knight. Like, I was playing this game that was barely even like Dark Souls but still thinking "geez you are laying it on a little thick with the Dark Souls wannabe poo poo" It's still a great game but I think they could have gotten a little more creative with the personality of it.

virtualboyCOLOR posted:I feel like saying any castlevania or metroid game would be cheating, but without question I will say I would recommend any Castlevania game on the PSX, GBA, and DS over Hollow Knight without hesitation. I have replayed each of them without issue. Metroid I think the only games I wouldn't recommend over Hollow Knight are the first two just due to their age. Also Metroid Prime is the best Search Action Game. Also shout out to Circle of the Moon for being loving awesome when I thought it'd suck

Ironically, my collector's edition JUST arrived at the same time. Steelbook and Pins   Artbook.  This is a proper thick hardcover job.  And the "Poster" is something a little unexpected. I was expecting something A3-sized, folded up and tossed in. Instead...    It's a painted metal plate with a set of magnets to mount to your wall. It's interesting at least, and a step up in quality from your regular poster.

I know people (rightfully) rolled their eyes at the meme/reference humor, but I believe it was limited to just ads/posters in one area of the game, and DAMMIT the music and the artwork was so good.

Okay hold up if this is a direct sequel to BotW how do the koroks not know Link can see them? the thing opens with him having max hearts, stamina, and the master sword. Don't you follow a korok just to get to the master sword or is my memory real bad?

Bought Tears of the Kingdom with the hope that this time, after God of War and Horizon it won’t feel like “more of the same”. The games weren’t bad, but they just didn’t do it for me like the first ones did. Reviews were glowing for those as well. It’s only after a while that it became clear that they weren’t as revolutionary. Third time’s hopefully the charm.
