QuarkJets posted:Most of the charms that improve healing are trap choices imo. If you instead take charms that make you more effective during a fight, then you won't need to heal as often. Gonna be honest I can't remember if I ended up actually using it in my pantheon of hallownest runs, but I would still never call it a trap.

While it's definitely not 100% safe to heal when he does the big white circle around him that damages and then spawns a few other smaller circles, I pretty much always found it worth the chance. I dunno why but most of the Nail Arts never really clicked with me; for me my main secret to him was getting used to the timing on dodging through his quick strike combo and even dodging through his parry > counterattack combo.

multijoe posted:What's your point? Hollow Knight is a great platformer, it doesn't need to be gassed up by pretending it reinvented the wheel by having a special meter And like, to be fair, sure you may feel Crypt of the Necrodancer specifically is more innovative. Yes, the game that literally invented a new genre of game is obviously innovative. Is that the bar for being considered original? Martman fucked around with this message at 11:20 on Jul 11, 2021 |

I'm stuck in a dark corner of the Deepnest. I haven't seen a bench in half an hour, I'm down to one health, I've run out of soul. I'm freaking out. I have to keep going, and that means I have to kill some poo poo without making any mistakes to have a chance at healing again. I think to myself "lol this is exactly like Street Fighter"

Not saying HK isn't influenced a lot by Dark Souls, but Dark Souls itself is obviously influenced by old-school games like Super Metroid in the foreboding atmosphere, old/dead kingdom (or Chozo civilization), lack of exposition, "kill all the big bosses to fill up the thing that opens the big scary door," etc. I think Dark Souls was partly so notable just because it successfully modernized a lot of pretty classic old school game concepts.

Definitely start with the one boss at a time statues and see if you like them enough to do the harder versions. A lot of players (me included) felt the same way at first, that Godhome stuff seemed like a step too far in difficulty and punishment, but once you start you may be really surprised at how satisfying it is.

Charm discussion is making me think, assuming there's some similar kind of build variety in Silksong, I hope there are opportunities to really reward players for using different builds. Being able to experiment is cool on its own, but it can be hard to overcome the inertia of getting so used to your preferred build. I would love it if there were optional fights (or just alternate versions of fights) where you could get some special reward for using certain charm builds, whether it's just an unusual build for that fight or even a kind of hard mode.

Not that I'm recommending it if you're not feeling it, but it's fairly common for people to take a long break from Hollow Knight early on, come back fairly confused, and then have a good experience by starting over completely. The early game still takes a few hours, but if you basically remember any of it you may be surprised how smooth it feels on a restart.

I think some people just like boxes being checked. I would never, ever look at a friend's achievements or want them to look at mine lol I think I edited my cheevos in Ori when the "beat the game on one life mode" achievement turned out to be bugged. I still feel gross about them but, also gently caress the devs for never fixing it

Someone should set up a terrarium with light sensors set up to act as controllers and get some bugs to play Hollow Knight by wandering around.

I found working through the Ascended/Radiant versions of each boss to be a much chiller challenge than expected, and it made the pantheons much less daunting.

Imo you should just fight him correctly Actually it's kind of interesting how the pantheons basically prevent you from using strats like that. You may be able to cheese the boss 80 percent of the time, but you're probably better off fighting him legit when you're 45 minutes into a pantheon run.

BioThermo posted:Failed Champion is a blessing in disguise in that gauntlet because once you stagger him and his head pops out, you can keep him staggered forever as long as you keep hitting his armor and not his head. So you can hit his armor, dreamnail his armor, hit his armor, heal yourself, hit his armor etc. in an infinite loop to max out your health and soul and go into the NKG fight completely topped off.

Hard to answer, but I wanna give a shout out to the Coliseum of Fools. After feeling isolated and lost for so long it feels like the only place in Hallownest that's still really functioning, and has crowds and a social atmosphere and stuff. Gets you fired up about the fact that there are still people here who could maybe be helped.

I can see it being dark and hosed up, but it's still hosed up in a fun way. I guess I had figured there was already a fair amount of violence in Hallownest as a baseline but I might have been imagining that.
