No
not really
Not really, it's a solid game that actually gets pixel art right.
Maybe by me
Nice user. How much you pay for that?
No, and David D'Angelo is actually a really cool guy.
He came on my podcast and did an interview, once, and was really humble and nice to talk to
it's too bad my DAW crashed, and we lost the audio... Rip
After the frame, shipping from Japan, and poster cost, maybe around 60 bucks. Also was supposed to come with the physical soundtrack but it hasn't shown up. If it isn't here by next week I'm emailing them.
That's unfortunate. But pretty cool.
You know, just because you like one of the devs and the game doesn't mean it's not overrated. I'd say shovel knight is definitely one of those indie games people love to put on a pedestal and lavish praise on.
Yes
But it is still a very good game
why do you think I invited one of the devs on my show? I fkin love Shovel Knight
Favorite song isn't even in the game, it's in a trailer.
I would say so
>currency system is basically meaningless given how easy it is to buy everything no matter how much you die
>it was really clear in the later levels that the devs didn't know how to make the game more challenging aside from throwing in more bottomless pits and spike traps. As a result, the later levels just feel like a really mediocre platformer because the actual enemies are too weak to be a threat.
Early on Shovel Knight is a lot of fun, but by the end I just wanted to get it over with.
Not at all, Shovel Knight was great, Plague of Shadows was even better, and Shadow of Torment looks fucking fantastic
It's always $10 on sale and never drops below that price so I'd say so.
>2 year old game
>34% discount
Someone's got a way one ticket to the gas chamber.
Overrated?
Given how much the hype has died down, I don't think so.
>God-tier music
>unique, yet classic platforming
>excellent visuals
>charming characters
>cheap as hell
>multiplat
>Substantial, FREE DLC
>excellent replayability
>multiple game modes
>difficulty increases after first PT
>great attention to detail
>It's fucking fun, yo.
I wonder if they'll continue releasing updates for the Wii U version. By the time King Knight is done the switch will have been out for at least a year.
Came here to post this.
yeah. it's kinda fun and cool, how all your abilities are tied to the shovel. the game is popular for a reason
I thought they said they wanted to be done with Shovel Knight by the end of 2017.
It's because they're still adding more free fucking campaigns you goober.
Would you rather the game be discounted, but have a bunch of paid DLC?
>replayability
That's the only place where you were wrong
SK is fucking 10/10
>10/10 music
>10/10 art
>10/10 story and characters because they're fun and charming but don't get in the fucking way
>FREE campaigns, that, so far, are even better than the original
>And most importantly, fun gameplay
Shit game that appeals to niggers and people from reddit.
Well that's rude.
>go into any thread for a sidescroller
>well shovel knight-
Yes. The controls are way too floaty and the platforming is mind-numbing.
>10/10 music and art
>coming from the same mouths of the people that bashed Undertale, which is also ironic pixelshit
Hypocrites, all of you.
>Sup Forums is one person
shut up retard
Also, if you legit can't see the difference between what I just posted, and this, then you're mentally handicapped and should off yourself.
Ich möchte diese Schoko-Elfe vernaschen!
THIIIIIIIIIIIICK CHOCOLATE MILK dUDS
>stirring shit when we could be talking about virt's great soundtrack
More like overshilled. Its like that kid who wants to be everywhere and just won't go away. You don't mind at first but it starts to get annoying over time.
Maybe a tiny bit but it's super solid.
I want a Shovel Knight Anime
Why?
It doesn't help that indie devs want to put him in their game for dat indie cred.
That's because people use it as an example of great indie game
Because I do
But it's not the only good indie game in existence.
Well, not Morrowind replayability, but I still went through several times
One of those cases where it might be overrated only because it's a great game people keep calling a SUPERDUPER great game.
But I loved Undertale's soundtrack.
Pretty much this
It's underrated actually. It's the kind of game that should have sold 5 million copies.
I don't think anyone is saying otherwise.
It's SJW shit
>MC is ~genderless~
>no save the princess because that's problematic
>girls apparently can be strong enough to be enemies
Maybe... but that's doesn't make it bad.
see
You'd think mlp would've taught people that when you do nothing but fanboy for something every chance you get it makes you come off as an obnoxious cunt.
I hardly ever see anyone talk about it.
>no save the princess
But thats the entire point of him going to the tower
>what is falseflagging
There are plenty of insufferable fanbases. Shovel Knight's doesn't approach MLP in obnoxiousness.
it's not though.
Shovel Knight is a dude.
Saving Shield Knight is the entire point
And the only girl enemy is the Enchantress which is dark magic that's possessing Shield Knight anyway.
Geeze user, you hung it up sideways
Undertale doesn't have very good gameplay, so of course people are more willing to praise the game that is mechanically tight.
You can't enter a thread about 2D games without hearing about shovel knight every other post.
>MN9 thread
>haha, another kickstarter failure, unlike my glorious shovel knight!
>shantae thread
>haha, I see all the talent at wayforward left to yacht club. Shame it turned out so mediocre, now if you'll excuse me I'll continue to wait for more dlc for the absolute peak of the genre, shovel knight!
I really, really like it. Tight controls, decent challenge, good level design, what's not to like
>what's not to like
you.
It's just a reskin of ducktales
Nice hyperbole. I've never seen someone say that in a Shantae thread. And even if they had it's hardly "every other post."
>I've never played Shovel Knight
OK champ. His shovel doesn't even pogo.
Nothing it's a good game, but if Sup Forums goes 10 minutes without shitposting irrationally then an ancient voodoo curse
triggers and we all die
Thank you, warders of the curse. Your noble sacrifice will not go unnoticed.
>well I've never seen it so-
cool bro. I don't see spics killing each other over drug money in my city but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
>directly observable thing on a message board = thing that can happen behind walls or across town
>anyone who talks bad about it is just shitposting
See, this is what I'm talking about. Anything that isn't praise is just shitposting. Shovel fags, this is you mindset.
>things that happen but you aren't privy to = things that happen but you aren't privy to
I've been in a shitton of Shantae threads. If it was every other post, I'd have seen it. You're the first person I've even seen suggest it.
no but I'm sick of that little blue fuck being shoehorned into every single goddamn indie game that comes out
Something must be legit wrong with you mentally if you have to enter threads for games you don't like just so everyone in them knows they're having more fun than they should and enjoying something too much
Where do you think we are?
To be fair, has he cameoed in a single worth-playing game? Pretty sure the answer is "no."
Thank you, warder of the curse. Your noble sacrifice will not go unnoticed.
>I'm sick of that little blue fuck being shoehorned into every single goddamn indie game that comes out
Name 2 (two) games that do that.
>10/10 art
Not really the best side. Amalgamation of 16-bit spritework and 8-bit palette doesn't look too good.
shovelknight.wikia.com
5 seconds in google
pretty sure this isn't even a full list
But there is no games on this list, only some indieshit.
>everyone always talks about shovel knight nonstop
>no one ever talks about odallus
such is life
The post you originally responded to said "indie games" retard.
Prove you're not a scrub.
You caught her, right?
>dear diary. today, Sup Forums had good taste
Honestly if I was a tiny indie developer and someone hit me up and asked me if they could put a little cameo of my character in their game then I would be all for it too.
Yeah, I would whore myself out for money too.
It's a solid game and it stands out from other "retro" themed platformers. Most are utter god damn shovel ware. There's thousands of these games and so many are either ass or just forgettable. It has both the polish and fun of a real classic. Must play for Sup Forums fans.
>Sup Forums fans
Yooka Laylee
But Shovel Knight is a guy, and saving the girl is the whole point of the game
Haven't gotten around to playing them yet, but aren't the Gunvolt games supposed to be pretty decent?
They're okay, nothing amazing or anything but not terrible.
Second game is better because Copen.
You can't prove that. Yet.
>for money too
Do you honestly think Yacht Club is charging people for cameos of their character? Jesus Christ I share a board with you retards
I unironically think that once the other two campaigns are out (and Battle Mode) that Shovel Knight will be an easy contender for game of the decade
SK looks much more charming than Undertale, though
And besides, what does each have to do with the other other than being pixilated? It's a bit like saying
>A: I think this song X from Y genre is great
>B: What about song Z from the same genre?
>A: I don't like it
>B: You're a hypocrite
I was gonna say it's free marketing but they already have enough fanboys evangelizing their game at every possible chance.
I'll go a step further
If King and Specter live up to Plague and Shovel levels of quality with battle mode being good and gender flip not being throwaway it might become my favorite GAME. It's already in the top 10 for me.
Free marketing is free marketing m8. They have absolutely no other games of theirs to sell and are still doing their updates for free, so they have to subsist off of Shovel Knight sales
You really hate people enjoying things don't you?
>You really hate people enjoying things don't you?
No, I don't. I just find people who can't shut up to be annoying. /mlp/ and /vg/ were created solely for these types of people.
