You have to back up your claim first, OP
Prove yourself right.

>I hate everything popular

Shovel knight is fun man

Shovel Knight is an indie retro game that has combined elements of classic games like Megaman and Castlevania.

I wouldn't necessarily call it "overrated", but you need to understand that the amount of praise getting heaped onto it is really more of a testament to how incredibly SHITTY most indie retro games are.

So it's less about
>THIS IS THE GREATEST GAME EVER

And more about
>Finally a platformer that isnt 99% trash.

*overpriced

It's pretty overrated but far from the most overrated game of all time. Plus Shovel Knight is actually just a really solid game so it can more or less get away with it.

Shovel knight has the mechanics of Megaman but with a short range attack, which makes the game slow paced and boring.
The level design is bland and stale, there's no complexity to it, it just looks pretty.
There's no real reason for you character to wield a shovel as a weapon, there are no shovel based attacks, you just wack shit with it.
Killing bosses doesn't feel satisfying for these reason as well, the special attacks are boring and you have to swap them around with Zelda 1 mechanics..

You're not wrong, but that doesn't mean it's bad.

>of all time
No, not really. It is overrated though.

I never liked megaman or metroidvania

>short range attack
You have relics to overcome that.
>bland and stale
Elaborate, don't be vague.
>no real reason for you character to wield a shovel
Shovel Knight was a farmer.
>there are no shovel based attacks
Digging and the shockwave.
>Killing bosses doesn't feel satisfying for these reason
Well, your first point was false, the second is subjective, and the third has nothing to do with them so I'm going to have to disagree.
>and you have to swap them around with Zelda 1 mechanics
Most utilize a touch screen.

I'm not saying it's bad, it's just so overrated and it bothers me because they could have done so much better.
It looks very minimal effort.

>most overrated games of all time.
>most
>of all time
slightly overrated yes, but how the hell did you arrive at the conclusion most overrated of all time?

If you think this game took minimal effort, then you simply reveal that you have never worked to make a game.
Just play all the other indie retro platformers and see how much worse they are in comparison to this one.

The controls are tight. TIGHT.

>This indie game is the most overrated game of all time
>Never mind that there are literally way more legitimately overrated games
are you autistic

>You have relics to overcome that.
don't fool yourself

>Elaborate, don't be vague.
There's nothing original, everything in the level design we've seen it a million tmes in better games.

>digging
not an attack
>shockwave
might as well use a sword

>farmer
story bullshit

>touchscreen
kill yourself

It's not satisfying, you might think it is, and that's fair.
But you need to play more games.

I believe many people overrate platformers and other indies because they're young and didn't get to experience gaming as it evolved. These games are pretty good but they're not amazing like some claim, its just amazing in comparison to the drivel we're used to with indies and AAA developers. Someone suffering through the dust bowl would probably think a clean glass of water is amazing.

>don't fool yourself
Practically every relic is long distance spells.
>There's nothing original
A knight with a shovel.
>not an attack
Hurts enemies.
>might as well use a sword
The shovel can do it, so there's no reason to.
>story bullshit
Hey, you're the one who said there was "no real reason" for it. There you go.
>kill yourself
I'm good.
>you need to play more games
I have. That's why I'm not the one saying an indie platformer is the most overrated game of all time.

Yeh I still like it though, plague knight campaign is actually better

>Prove me wrong.
It's Indie. Stupid thread

>don't fool yourself

what did he mean by this

You're completely right, specially on the level design, it doesn't work well with the shovel moves to make them interesting and is too segmented.

>You can hot swap relics with L and R
>Zelda 1 item swapping
Herp derp

>You're completely right
op at least change your ip

i agree that the biggest problem is the melee focus. mega man style shooting, combined with more aggressive enemies would be better. that being said the melee is pretty well executed.

second big problem is how you can tank everything, especially with the ridiculous invulnerability relics.

the only good fight in the game is the NG+ battle royale.

core gameplay, general design, style, atmosphere are really good though.

don't fool yourself
the game is the most overrated ever

>don't fool yourself
Like you're doing ironically?

Or Bethesda

Every answer you gave perpetuates unoriginality and anti creativity.
What a fag

don't fool yourself

don't fool yourself

It hit a nerve didn't it.

I can't, the game is shit

>dem controls
>dat soundtrack
nah dude it's a solid game

Uh, okay
AAA games are still a thing

Don't fool yourselves

don't fool yourself

It's a retro-style game that accurately captures the type of gameplay actually retro games had (rather than "retro games" that are just modernised games with shitty graphics), and everyone realised that retro gameplay pretty much sucks if you don't have the nostalgia filter of having played the game before.

don't fool yourself

is this the birth of a new epic meme

I hope so, I gave birth to it in my thread and I take credit for it.
Include me in the cap

It is highly not recommended to delude thyself in conjecturing a thought that is to be considered false and absurd, for it was I, the original poster, that was responsible for the creation of this thread and I should be given the accolades for this beloved meme.

It's a knockoff but japs adore it, does not that mean it's actually good?

Cease the action of tricking your own mind

don't fool yourself

Fuck off this is my meme

Dark Souls is one of the most overrated games of all time.
Prove me right..

Don't fool yourself

>There are 50 replies to bait this fucking weak.

Desist of the actions of bamboozling the innermost machinations of thy feeble mind in deducing thyself to an erroneous credence, for I, the original poster, holds the blame for generating this string of replies by various gentlemen of anonymity.

don't fool yourself op you're still very gay

So who's excited for Specter of Torment?

me

shit looks like a whole new game, even more so than Plague's campaign

I'll help you with that bump.

>it's a prequel, because he died for good in the original part due to no more Enchantress to support his undeath
>they show some really nice things about the fucker, the will or the reason to keep going even after death

I can't, because it is.

Partially by me.

don't fool yourself
