Have you been enjoying Hollow Knight Sup Forums? I've been playing the fuck out of it vicariously by watching Northernlion

Got 100% completion and the true ending. It was a good game, but hardly a GOTY contender. Especially not this year.

LOL name one game better

you can't

>clamsm GOTY
>haven't played it
Hollowknightfags everyone

More games should feature bug characters rather than gay shit like cartoony furfag trash.

Yakuza 0, P5, Nier.

>Yakuza 0, P5, Nier.

I've been going through it slowly and savoring it. I love it and it's my current GOTY by a strong margin.
>watching NL
Same but I'm sad he made such a sudden run for the last boss. Wish I had turned the video off before watching that particular boss.

Shill thread to be honest.

>PlayStation trash

Try again kid

The game is really unfortunate to come out in the same time as Automata.
As far as metroidvanias go, it easily blows the fuck anything in genre in last 10-15 years and shits down the throat of La-Mulana showing how an expansive metroidvania can be done without turning it into a boredom fest with hilariously unresponsive controls.

>let's play

Kill yourself, now I know what kind of fags hollow drones are

You're doing this game a disservice by making its fans look as bad as you.

underrated

That's the amazing art?
Looks like Burton shit

>hand drawn backgrounds, no two parts look alike
>fantastic lighting effects

>lol burton shit

Do you know how stupid you sound?

>GOTY
>when you haven't played it
>watched the fucking egg of all people play it

Let me guess, he beat the game with something like 60% completion

Well, fuck you.

I was going to play this game, buy it and everything. But if you're going to make yourself look like an entitled little shit, I'll spend the rest of my energy shitting out Hollow Knight threads, instead, just to spite your kind.

Fuck you and fuck your indie-shit game.

I really wasn't expecting this guy to be so full of his own shit.

>NL
He's missed so much and played such a bad build. You're doing yourself a MASSIVE disservice by watching his LP before playing. Yes, it's a fine LP if you've already played but what the fuck, OP.

fuck off drone

>burton
what

I agree with you, these threads just make the game less appealing, I tried it though and refunded it

This game looks like shit. Another side scroller indie game *yawns*

The art is okay, Ori and the Blind Forest is still king there though.

>Breath of the Wild
>Automata
>This shit is GOTY

>praising indie trash
Child please.

It just seems real fucking bland

like it's competently made but doesn't really do anything that every other metroidvania hasn't done aside from the dork souls aspects

are you a female ? you kinda act out like one
if not, you should check your testo levels, seems you lack stability

>vicariously by watching Northernlion
Why haven't you played the game for yourself if you think it's so good you e-celeb cock guzzling nigger

You're about to get some butthurt replies

>this one zone that's supposed to be unnerving and grim
>jump on it for being "burton shit"
Blow me, dude.

>ignoring its creative art direction and complexity because it is a similar genre / not AAA

I didn't even play Hollow Knight to be honest

Nier, Yakuza and P5 are all flavor of the month shit games that belong in the trash

Hey, I agree that OP should play the game himself instead of being a pleb.

But I hope you're not hating on NL.

I don't think it's shit like the other two you quoted though, it looks okay to me. I like it, it's just that it's not very unique, we've seen the style before in other games.

>I didn't even play Hollow Knight to be honest
>Nier, Yakuza and P5 are all flavor of the month shit games that belong in the trash

it's okay but it doesn't hold a candle to rabi ribi. it's way too easy

Fuck NL and his annoying wife.

game's navigation is kind of boring

Triggered

Do people really think I can't have a valid opinion on a game by watching someone play it in it's entirety? Get with the times, games can be experienced by either playing or watching.

Lol no.

The art is ugly and combat limited to a 2d plane

I tried to get into it but I couldn't

The level design is also very slow and typical, at least in the first 2-3 hours that I played

Went out and got a controller just for this game. It's been a blast but I dropped it a few days after buying not sure why I need to play it again.

>2017
>your goty is a snowflake indie game you didn't even play

you were only in the first zone lmfao

I seriously hope this is bait and no one legit believes this
Luckily you've posted this thread before which gives credibility to my bait theory
boards.fireden.net/v/thread/372296981

Fighting the Mantis Lords and visiting the City of Tears for the first time were the highlights for me, it kinda fizzles out later. It's still pretty fucking great for a kickstarter 2D platformer.

Posting it again does not mean my opinion is invalid kid

It's not bait all of these hollow knight threads are made by geniune downies

deepnest was the highlight for me. the rainy windows in city of tears was #2. then queen's garden #3

Hollow Knight is not one of those games, user. NL is not doing the game a whole lot of justice by skipping and glazing over a lot of stuff.

Deepnest got me good, fuck. Can't believe I fell for that bench I should've known better.

>Can't believe I fell for that bench?

it was such a fucking shift in tone. i was just like "what the hell is this place" the entire time... the unfinished tram area was particularly awesome ambiance wise

What's even funnier is the brazilian Momodora dev is absolutely shitter shattered that people like another generic metroidvania over his game and they keep coming into these threads to try to shitpost.

ok

What do those guys say before you sit on the bench? I wanted to talk to them after I saved but WELP

Why did you specifically mention how you only experienced the game second-hand and through
northernlion? If you wanted genuine discussion you would have left out those controversial bits. If you weren't baiting you're just retarded

No.
>Op remarks on the tight controls
>Op hasn't played the game so has no fucking idea

The controls are tight (When the game doesn't drop frames and inputs as a result but patches really helped) but that doesn't mean your opinion is valid.

>Dropping a 30-40 hour metroidvania in the what is probably the starting area before you pick up any additional movement abilities or the challenge can ever really pick up.

I bet you haven't even been pogoing yet.

>The art is ugly
Okay, I guess that's like, your opinion, man, but
>combat limited to a 2d plane
literally what the fuck were you expecting? I'm actually curious what kind of combat you were expecting out of a 2d metroidvania, if two dimensional combat wasn't it.

>those guys
>bench
Who? I don't understand what you guys are talking about.

I was in a hurry and skipped a couple of words there. I meant this this part, when the locals invite you to rest and then trap you.

"You must be tired after going all that way, sit down and rest" something like that.

I'll take this bait.

fuck these eceleb ridden kid threads

the original guy was talking about the place before the spider area with the webbed bench

...

Such cancer wew. Grow up kid.

Is this game released last year it for sure would have been my GOTY, but there's some insanely strong competition going on right now.

Still, it's easily one of my favorite Metroidvanias, shit's easily on par with SotN if not above it and people underrate SotN, it's a good game yo

Amazing game, solid 9/10 for me. Still working on 100%ing it. At about 24 hrs played.

Stop spoilering things that don't contain any spoilers

Oh, that one before the "boss". I forgot there was even a bench there. But it was quite obviously a trap.

...

Stop being triggered

ironic as fuck to be honest haha northernlion guy sure is a funny guy hehe def my fav eceleb

...

2,158 backers pledged AU$ 57,138 to help bring this project to life.

With everything being expensive as fuck in Kangarooland.
I'm extremely impressed and satisfied with the game.

Though i feel the game can be polished more in game/level designs.
But it's good enough for what it is.

the game is easily a 9.5/10.

No one but OP is talking about them, friend.

Yeah, I'd easily give it a 8 or a 9/10.

I was pretty bummed out that there wasn't a spider boss there, just a smallish maze

I wish the game had less bosses, but made the bosses more complex and interesting. Some of them are literally nothing, like the Nosk or the Fluke Worm.

Bought it on a whim thanks to Sup Forums.
I do not regret my purchase.

Yeah, it was really disappointing how none of the dreamers were actually bosses themselves.
I wish the game had better combat in general. Take the exploration from Hollow Knight and mix it with combat from Valdis Story and you'll get an ideal metroidvania.

Well there's Nosk I guess, he's a spider.

I don't know if its Goty but after playing it for 50 hours i just consider any of you that havent played a game so easy to access and instead choose to watch some faggot and ruin your own possible experience as total imbeciles

The freedom the game offers at first opens up room for alot of unique and enjoyable experiences, you are missing out by not playing this gem, the ambience is the best part, dream nailing anything you find to constantly go from *oh god* to *so cute*

My favorite part by far was when exploring the fungal wastes, I found a secret wall that lead me to the mosskin prophet, I just kept thinking "wow such a nice thing hidden behind secret walls, this really feels like a reward" only to fall down a pitfall after leaving the room and finding the deepnest for the first time, i kept panicking, I couldnt escape and the worms didnt stop spawning, I just felt terrified until they eventually overwhelmed me, the experience made me so afraid of the deepnest that I didnt go there again until I was done with every other area

when I saw this room, I got a big smile on my face

but then I never got to find the massive spider

or even see it

AYERYBODY

woah woah, OP. It's a great game but not game of the year. You have the right to claim it as your game of the year but most outlets that do that GOTY stuff won't pick this game. Even a poll on Sup Forums wouldn't name this game as GOTY

I did the same but refunded mine so I guess no regrets here either, though I stopped trusting Sup Forums snowflake opinions after buying snake pass

Is this game a generic side scroller or should I give it a try?

I can't believe that I actually had that moment mildly spoiled before picking up Hollow Knight, played the game and then still ended up rushing past what seemed like just a bunch of NPCs and planted my ass on the safety of a bench.
And that is when I remembered.

I love the "Oh shit" moments in this game because I'm so incredibly retarded.

so everyone realizes that those guys are 8 legs to a massive spider? there are exactly 8 of them

everything about that room confirms that there's a room sized spider under you

but you never get to fight it or see it

It's not a generic side-scroller (i.e. level based, move only in one direction), it's a metroidvania, so you have to explore one huge interconnected map and unlock new abilities.

>GOTY 2017
>anything but Nier: Automata
lmao

It's pretty generic to be honest, not that I'm saying it's bad or anything

you're a retard for asking this in thread dedicated to the game though, you should already know to expect drone answers and nothing more

The game's balance is pretty bad though, and some of the bosses are just too damn simple. It has issues, but overall it's a damn good game.

The combat has a real nice Megman Zero vibe to it with the whole real time healing system adding some nice depth to fights. I just wish they went a little deeper with this, MMZ does have a fantastic system for its boss fights but Hollow Knight feels like it falls just short of them.

This was the dickest move a videogame has ever pulled on me.

YO, THIS IS BLIGHT TOWN
YO, YOU CAN'T TELL ME THIS ISN'T THE KILN OF THE FIRST FLAME
A MIMIC? AM I PLAYING DARK SOULS
>fights the hollow knight
>goes the whole video without calling him artorias

trusting Sup Forums's opinions at all. If I don't hear about a game before it releases and am able to personally track it's development, I won't buy it

>I wish the game had better combat in general
I thought the combat was one of the best parts once I got the hang of it, bouncing around on things like a madman or abusing charms to do ridiculous damage. I also liked that the magic system made you choose between healing or burst damage gave you a lot of incentive to git gud so you could nuke down bosses faster.

A bit more depth probably wouldn't have hurt, but it works well as something fairly simple with a lot of room for finesse.

Why? You got the rewards, didn't you?

Nier is trash

Take your retarded waifu and fuck off
