You can't really rip on a game for copying Hollow Knight when Hollow Knight ripped so much off of Dark Souls itself

Martman posted:I disagree. The way soul works, between relying on you hitting enemies and also being used both for offensive magic and healing, is really unusual as far as I know. As a result all the boss designs (or all the combat really), which are extremely well tailored to the combat mechanics, feel very unique to the game. It's a special meter. It might be novel for a metroidvania but it's extremely common in fighting games and arpgs

Martman posted:What do you think of as a "new" game mechanic in a recent game? Uh, tempo based movement in Crypt of the Necrodancer? But I didn't say there's anything wrong with it, and there certainly isn't. As you say, good games are mostly just reshuffling pre-existing concepts into a novel configuration, which is exactly what Hollow Knight does.

Martman posted:Timing your inputs? Wow, lifted wholesale from rhythm games. It is very easy to be stupidly reductive. 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

The premise and story presentation is basically just an alt-universe fanfic of Dark Souls too, it has everything from a ruined old kingdom filled with hollows to collecting the lord souls to open up the seal on the final boss to an archaelogical plot pieced together from menu descriptions and quirky and obtuse NPCs doing roundabout world building through their dialogue. They manage to make it work as its own thing but it really wears its inspirations on its sleeve

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

Cheating specifically to give yourself the award for doing the thing without doing the thing is some real low tier gaming imo

I always figured they're anthropomorphic bugs so they're human sized. It's funny to think about the Radiance getting trodden on by a passing walker though e: and new traitor lord was a bit much imo, didn't need to do double damage as well as the mechanics revamp

Nightmare King was the point where I thought 'this was a pretty good game and I enjoyed my time but I do not love it enough to learn this hellish fight', so congrats to him I guess that's the first time I've had to do that since Ballos in Cave Story

City of Tears was where the game really grabbed my attention and showed off the scope and ambition of the game so I'd have to go with that. I kinda like Ancient No Dignity fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Nov 8, 2022 |

Nightmare King was actually the fight that made me fall out of love with the game's combat. It just boiled down to a handful of moves that require rigid pre-determined responses where the difficulty mostly came from the intense pace of the fight and the twitch reflexes required to match it and didn't get inside my brain the same way a Souls superboss does
