Anti-Tachyon posted:You're logged in mate, the word filter isn't turned on I know! I'm complaining about how ineffective weapons are in most metroidvanias like this. The new Prince of Persia game comes to mind also. Giant swords, slowly slapping and caressing a monster to death with, apparently, the flat of the blade. If there's some kind of stance breaking like in Sekiro or something like that, it's different. These fools are straight up letting me slap them a million times before dying.

Like we were just talking about earlier, I don't think it's at all correct to say there is only the trailer as hype. The trailer itself is a follow-up to a promise made during crowdfunding of a game that attained widespread acclaim and popularity. The trailer was then followed up with a live demo at Nintendo Treehouse, which can't have been trivial to line up. That trailer and demo were, technically, the only direct marketing for Hollow Knight: Silksong, the video game with that name, when his thread started, but even being able to let Silksong market itself is a position they had to make an entire other video game (and market that) to be in. It's kind of a technical point but it's never only a trailer when this kind of thing happens, it's a trailer with an entire story behind it, for something people were already waiting for.

Oh yeah to be clear I wasn't being snarky there. I'm serious when I say it's really impressive how much widespread anticipation this sequel is getting. Almost any other studio would have been cranking out constant teasers and it really shows that if you have a strong game then most marketing is wasted money

There are 83 pages here but 70 of them are people getting increasingly annoyed and frustrated at the lack of communication and it has become so synonymous with the game that industry stuff jokes about it. It also means that people are building themselves up to likely unrealistic expectations in terms of quality. (Not that the game will be bad but that the lack of communication means people are left to fill in the gaps themselves, which would lead to disappointment if it ends up being 'only' as good as Hollow Knight.)

It will actually be the greatest game ever made and send me into new heights of transcendent pleasure.

Funny thought that they've boxed themselves into a Half-Life episode 3 corner, I'm confident they at least made a fun game though.

I don't think it will be surprise dropped. The hype behind it is high enough that someone at Sony/MS/Nintendo/Valve would leak it.
