I can't stop playing this game holy shit!

>I don't have 10 compasses and 45 quest markers in front of me every second!!!

Ok kid

>Best metroidvania since SOTN btw

Lol
Ori is better

Ori was great. However it didn't have such a fine battle system

The game suffers from lackluster power-ups and terrible level design. Overall, it is decent enough though. It's an objective 6.8/10.

Fuck off kid
>Muh fast travel

Casual 2000s and 2010s games ruined a generation

>The game suffers from lackluster power-ups

You can shoot
You can wall jump
You can double jump
You can literally fucking fly
You can power dive
You cAn dash and shadow dash

Not even mentioning all the charms
WTF nigga

The game has a shit ton of powerups, offensive abilities and extremely well thought out level design that considers every movement option as they become available. What the fuck are you smoking?
>It's an objective 6.8/10.
You're objectively retarded.

Guarantee this casual couldn't beat Mantis Lords.

>extremely well thought out level design
Unnecessarily long hallways, boring as fuck traversal, a severe lack of smart short cuts between different areas that open up as you progress, retardedly placed teleport points...

Play more games, and you'll realize why HK is so disappointing to most fans of the genre.

Why do people on Yea Forums like to talk about games they haven't even played?

a cunny in time is better

unironically this, its getting tiresome

user, please, calm down. I just like a video game.

The sad part is that I actually fell for the shilling. At least, I've learned from the experience and have become much more wary of clear cases of shilling on Yea Forums.

7 bucks right now on psn

Did you play the game? Be honest. I've seen a bunch of people talking about the game and making points that are straight up lies.

It's shit nigger LOL

I'm ashamed to admit it but I actually forced myself to beat the game instead of dropping it for something more deserving of my time.

I definitely did, 4 hours wasted on nothing along with my money.

Sure thing, that's why you're complaining about the lack of shortcuts on a game known for putting them everywhere. Please, you're transparent.

I fell for it like user did too. Never ever again with this game

Any short cuts whatsoever isn't the same as smart ones, doofus.

Got tricked by shill threads to pirate it. Got bored after a few hours, when i got the weapon power up, but the enemies upped their damage sponges higher than the damage output increase from the nail in the next areas. In dark souls I'd have new weapons and combat styles by now already to try and have fun with. This is just boring. Next please.

This game is alright, but its kinda sad that many many years later with better and better tech we still cant top the metroidvanias of old.

Ori is just too damn easy. I feel like I can beat it with my eyes closed. Still good though.

But the game did design its backtracking organically, putting shortcuts where they're most needed, and leaving the fast travel for central points. Keep lying.

whatever you guys say. i like it and if shilling means talking about it in a vydia thread, so be it
this board is full of smash and pokemon garbage, i don't see why someone would get mad at this game in specific

So Yea Forums will literally shit and piss its pants in rage at it.

Then stop spamming this game like anyone cared about it. It's too fucking slow to be enjoyable and the shill posts are always the same

Ori felt like a platformer, not a Metroidvania.

I don't get you. All I see people talking and discussing a game they liked. But I guess the shitters at Yea Forums would find a way to get angry about that.

Why aren't you back in the DMC threads tearing your hair out over there?

I can only play it in 1 hour bursts because otherwise I am getting kinda bored but it's still good

Equip Shaman Stone. Quick Slash is better than Strength in my experience because with it you can hit her twice every time you jump.

In the first phase, hit her with your nail until she starts summoning spikes from the ground. Then hit her with abyss shrieks until she gets to the point where there's two small sets of spikes she spams spears from the sky. At this point, hit her with her nail again until she goes down.

For the multi-platform phase, stay near the middle and pray. Remember you can use Diving Dark to avoid the lightbeam and other attacks when shade dashing is not an option.

For her third phase, double jump so the orbs fly under you and up into the sky. If you don't get enough height on one of your double jumps, pogo off the Radiance.

>he didnt even make it to greenpath
jesus christ the casual filter managed to get you well before you even hit it. How'd you manage that?

I decided to replay the game recently due to the announcement of the DLC. Figured I'd try to challenge myself and tackle the mantis lords with an unupgraded nail. I know it's not a huge challenge, but I managed to pull it off. I'm confident about the rest of the game now.

It's going to be a full sequel game

Hollownest caverns are massive and no way at all compact and cramped like real caves, and placement wouldn't be at shitty dense areas anyway

Hornet is the first boss you can't just spam attack to win

Many enemies spit shit
That must count

I can't stop fapping to Hornet holy shit!

only after they're infected though

That's infection mutation. Also not really ranged weapon.

Most logical explanation is that many bugs have hard shells so only melee is viable

>Why were there no ranged weapons like bows
I don't know, but I like it.

>i cant stop playing!

>I can't stop fapping to Hornet holy shit!

There's like 5 pictures in whole internet
Must be repetitive

Hope I'm not too late. I just started playing over a week ago and I'm approaching 112% completion pretty soon, just a few things left to clean up. My biggest challenge currently is the 5th pantheon, I'm getting destroyed. How do I make it as easy as possible?

I just started a new game. Holy shit, why are the atmosphere and the soundtrack so great and the controls so tight? Is this the true power of Australia?

I callout this by saying bows, specificslly longbows and crossbows can pierce bone and plated metal, so shell wouldn't really stand a chance.

>hurrr durrr bows
you don't understand that this game is about bugs? They're not using swords, they're using nails for fucks sake, trying to make a bow the size of a bug means the arrow would have to weight even less than a feather and travel as fast as a normal arrow, that's just not possible, fuck off with this piece of shit argument already.

You live your whole life running away from huge spiders, you can make great bug games

Most bugs dont have anything more than simple survival instincts.
Most of the hallownest bugs did not have individuality before the pale king came along and were little more than slaves to the radiance.
Kingdoms are separated by wastelands filled with feral bugs, and if a hallownest native left unprotected then they inevitably regressed.
You see this play out in deepnest, herrah wanted a child that wasnt mindless but with the beast king dead there was none but the pale king who would suffice.

Wait you get to fight Sly?

I honestly wish Soul Sanctum was a bit longer. Makes sense design wise since it was just an offshoot lab in the city, but I would be lying if I say I ain't a sucker for abandoned laboratory-esque levels in games.

Ever since Bloodborne and Yahar'gul I've been a sucker for locations that involves wide scale experiments that went horribly wrong.

Don't be shocked now, but the average gamer is shit and Yea Forums is filled with average people. Of course they get assblasted and sour, when they can't enjoy even 1/10th of the game. So they make up lies and try to troll, in which they also fail, since they don't know anything about the game.

Phil Fish SEETHING

Him and the other nailmasters.

Do YOU not understand that as soon as you try to shoot a weightless arrow it will desintegrate due to its velocity while traveling the wind? If you're going to call someone brainlet look yourself in the mirror before embarrassing yourself like that.

You laugh, but that's literally the same principle as Miyamoto making Zelda inspired by his "adventures" as a child.

>the arrow would be their size thus be at a usable weight
Lol, not with the drag of a normal air resistance.

Due to pale king fuckery they skip the early game and go straight to medieval / low industrial.
That and their reliance on natural weaponry probably made things like bows less important in their minds.

>Map system is garbage
why do you feel the need to post this in every thread? i refuse to believe so many people dont know how to use a map

Bug warriors sound pretty based to me so far.

>i refuse to believe so many people dont know how to use a map
There's an entire generation of people who have grown pampered by pre-completed minimaps with a directional arrow and goal markers.
It's sad, but you can believe it. A lot of people have never been asked to find the way/path by themselves.

How would it be weightless if it's designed like a normal arrow being tipped eith iron but instead of feathers it's silk or something. By you're brainlet logic they shouldn't be able to smelt metal either because their small forge would never heat up properly to melt iron.

So what was the kingdom pre-Hallownest?
Is it the Radiance's?

Not him, but not knowing where the hell you are when exploring new areas or having to equip a thing to see where you are at all can be pretty annoying at times.

What was the first game to use markers like that?

>explain this fictional thing in real life
i didn't even bring magic to the topic like that "hurrr inb4" faggot did to shield himself.

Explain civilizations needing bows in fantasy logic please

This and that are different.
In any setting, magic should have its own consistent physics (magic A is magic A), but a normal material arrow will still be under the effects of normal air-drag physics unless the atmosphere in said setting is specified to be different.
You could make the argument for magic-enhanced bows and arrows, but if you can do that might as well go all the way with actual magic projectiles, which several enemies do in the game.

The "Battle of the Blackwyrm" is mentioned by dung boi.
Now think about how big wyrms are, and that this nigga helped fight it.

>Not him, but not knowing where the hell you are when exploring new areas or having to equip a thing to see where you are at all can be pretty annoying at times.

God forbid you have to struggle!

>MOooooOOOooMmmm my video game makes me actually have to THINK where I am instead of just mashing buttons to win!!!! MOOOOOOMMMMM!!

>he doesn't know

Getting food easy and very good protection from enemies and predators seems really important for civilization to start my dude.

I finished the game, it's not a deal breaker, but it's definitely annoying and unnecessary.

I'm more interested about the fact the name of that battle seems to imply there were an evil wyrm during the Hallownest age that opposed the King.
If a good wyrm was able to singlehandedly raise the bugs from being mindless beasts and a few scattered tribes to a first-world tier kingdom, imagine what an evil one would've done if they lost that battle.

Moths, the Hive, Deepnest, Mantis, Mushroom folk.

HK threads on Yea Forums are usally comfy, but this one is something else. Shitposters who never played the game or fags who played it for an hour without seeing anything more than forgotten crossroads and complaining about the dumbest insignificant shit. Everytime they try to argue anything it is clear they haven't played the game. Why is that?

>having to equip a thing to see where you are
You don't need to equip the compass though.

1993 here

I think it's fine, it makes you use your memorization skills. Which is something some people nowadays sorely need improving upon.

>I finished the game, it's not a deal breaker, but it's definitely annoying and unnecessary.

Playing games IS unnecessary.

Doesn't seem like it was necessary for Hallownest to start

Don't forget the mosskin.
Arguably, it's probable there were more tribes PK assimilated on his kingdom, we just hear about a few ones.

Reminder not to reply to maze or any of his unfunny bandwagoners. The ones moaning about shills are them, they've been doing this for a while in HK threads.

Having a simple map (and not using compass) is a good way to memorize locations and paths/shortcuts.

I'd lie if I said I didn't need help sometimes but damn, it's a good feeling when after a bit you can traverse the world map just by memory.

it's one of those games that requires thinking and that offends the average Yea Forumstard

Bait him into his three hit combo, then great slash him when he comes down from the spin.
You can get hits on him at other times, but it's really not worth it.

So is Hornet going to be Superman at the end of her game like the Knight was or will she be prep time Batman

Not really, they did a good job with the level design, so it's pretty easy to find your way around, you only need the map when you want to look for something, and then it's when not being able to know where you are at a glance becomes inconvenient.

Really made me think!

We saw her using "gadgets" in the trailer, it's pretty clear imo.

She'll be dead

You don't 'need' the map at all actually, if you just remember where you're going and how each room connects.

Weird.

I can't believe this game was made by 3 people. Really makes me think when AAA devs with hundred man teams shit out turds with 1000x the funding

Is there a more disgustingly overshilled ""indie"" game than this? How many tens of millions of dollars do you need OP?

I can't see Gossamer storm being her only magic

I went into the game as a total scrub, and I actually enjoyed Hornet. What almost made me quit the game in frustration was the Soul Master, who IMO is the first hard boss of the game (also, the path to the boss fight is a pain in the ass).
Took me a couple of hours to beat him, but I'm glad I didn't drop the game there. Recently finished it with 88% completion after 40 hours, and I'm already super hyped for Silksong.

fpbp

Are you using the ds4 with Bluetooth on PC?

Alright, anons, let's see how good your imagination is.
So far, the weapons we've seen in the bug world are:
>nails
>nail-lances (Mantis Lords)
>clubs/sticks (Cloth)
>claws (sturdy fool, winged fool)
>big claws / scythe claws (Galien)
>pins (hive knight)
>needles (Hornet)
They all keep consistent with a tiny size theme (at least name-wise).
What other weapons and weapon names do you think could fit in the HK setting?

Personally, I'm thinking of "leaf" for either a broadsword or a partisan/spontoon.

This, my shade was over an acid pool that I just couldnt reach at that point of the game.

they don't like the pressure of release dates but clearly have no issue with instigating a hype cycle

You can taunt it by getting close and let it come at you

Even before wall jump I could always reach mine by jump + dash to at least provoke it and let it come at me

If you die a second time, your shade will spawn at the new location, replacing the impossible to reach one. Think of it like bloodstains from the Souls game. You'll lose your geo, but you can die and replace hard to reach shades whereever.

>fire pillars
It's more optimal to go the right of the first fire pillar, shadow dash through it, let the 2nd and 3rd fire as you walk left jump and hit his right side right before the 4th fires, hit him from under as it does then immediately Abyss Shreik

Another advice, try to always be in the center of the room, otherwise you might have trouble evading some attacks.

I didnt know you can even taunt. I actually dont remember if I had dash yet, it was so early in the game.
Alright, I thought ther shade basically became a permanent enemy that hangs in the area then, and that the soul/spirit sphere just kept getting more cracked if you made more shades.

Seems like I could have reached it after all, thats sort of a bummer, knowing how I quit the game after that.

If he appears on the ground, then he's either going to launch sprites or swipe at you. Just run away from him in either case -- if it turns out to be sprites, you can turn around. There's no harm in initially reacting the same way, aside from maybe losing out on a hit.

but user i'm pretty sure you can see your shade in the map

I do this on Soul Master but find better success pogo clipping his side mid descent when ST comes around

The hell, was the nail always this slow?
I think I got to used to the Quick Slash...

It's probably the best metroidvania in the last10 years.

What you'll notice in all of those .gifs is they all start the same way, with you walking backwards. If you learn to walk backwards the second he appears on screen, you'll have already avoided that attack instinctively every time.

>tfw path of pain took me well over 3 hours
>look it up on youtube later and watch some guy do it flawlessly in less than 4 minutes

n-not that bad for a first try, right?

Other bosses have RNG elements, attacks that fire instantly or have shit like just walking into you.
All of Grimm's are clearly telegraphed and follow a steady rhythm.
With a lot of other bosses you can get lucky/unlucky or face tank / back off and heal.
With Grimm it's just a constant state of attacking and dodging with maybe one heal oppotunity if you're able to bait his fire.

Hand up in his face = About to claw upslash.
If he's spawned on the floor and immediately hopped backwards = bats.
Spawned up in the air = start moving immediately, react appropriately whether pillars or firekick.

By 'taunt' he means getting aggro by getting near enough to it.
Even if you take an acid hit it will still be aggro, so you could have jumped in the acid and then killed it.
Dont feel too bad though, if you played it long enough ago then there are multiple updates for you to play through if you if pick it up again.

>maybe one heal oppotunity if you're able to bait his fire.

You can heal at least 4 different ways:

When he starts his bat attack, jump over the first lower bat and heal, the second lower bat will fly over you.

When he does his flame pillar attack, heal just as you've moved out of range of the last pillar.

When he does his ground spikes, you can take a second to heal

When he takes enough damage to spilt into multiple bats, then you can heal.

He's probably the fairest boss in the game.

>Map system is garbage and the game overall is very repetitive
Map is fine. It gives you the option to have a GPS or if you want to explore.

It's really cool that the shade gets stronger as you do, sharing health upgrades and spells. Does it behave differently depending on locations or something else? I was killed by that passive moss knight looking out at the lake, and my shade just floated above him looking off across the lake as well even when I got right next to it. After dying at the Soul Master fight the shade came after me aggressively from off the screen, is it just the Soul Sanctum area?

The shade stops being aggressive after you get the void soul

what did he do

Sat in a room and stared at people with a telescope. Then he took a really powerful nap.

Perhaps he was the cheif of police?

The characters are really simple yet so easily recognisable even in weird situations.

Test of resolve is aptly named.
I havent got steel soul yet myself with +50 hours in, a factor is that i'm trying for speed run 2 at the same time, along with refusing to cheese it by quitting to menu.

It might react differently in different areas, i'm unsure.
The soul master thing might be because the fight triggers if you get too far into the arena, which would be a bit unfair if you wanted to do something else.

Not to mention that they specifically added the delicate flower to show that something can counteract the void that hard meaning Hornet will get lategame augmented weaponry involving flower buffs.

How is it cheating if trinkets allow you to do it? It's not like it's against any rules

They said they could have an enemy fully designed, animated and ready to go in just 40 minutes with how they operate. A boss only takes them a couple of hours. They're wizards.

That's silly. More people enjoying the same game you enjoy, to its fullest possible extent? What's to hate?

I'm sure some people cheated it but it wouldn't have been everyone or even most.

When they're finished with Silksong I want to see them actually try a shorter game to see how ham they can go with a more detailed artstyle.

What's this mask cheat?

On the one hand, hot wyrm dick.
On the other, they were basically in a "We have to do this or everyone is going to fucking die" situation.

But the Traitor Lord is one of the easiest bosses in the entire game,
He has literally 3 attacks, 3, just jump over his ground sweep and dash under his jump attack.

Traitor lord can be a bitch, they did change him to be harder in a patch but that might have been after you played it last time.
You can void dash cheese him too.

I wouldn't really call it cheese. Traitor Lord is basically the shadow dash tutorial.

Eventually you’ll need to beat him and fight Hornet 2 directly afterwards with no time to heal. Good luck.

I meant damaging shadow dash cheese, not just dashing through him.

That fucker has to have the most elusive dream nail dialog

I'm at my 3rd playthrough, it's really great because it actually gives you options.
I found a way to enter the eastern part of fog valley and queen's garden without having the acid-resistance ability (by doing a strange shinespark thing on a ledge that was right above a pool of acid), is it intended or did I exploit?

I'll give this game a second shot, but I recall getting quite bored with it after 5 or so hours. Mainly that exploring wasn't very interesting due to the environments being almost entirely the same shit with color variations.

At least you can get his by skipping the False Knight. There are dream nail dialogues programmed into the game you literally can't without cheats. The first few Quirrel ones for example.

Sleeping Gruz Mother, the knight at the lake, and the mace are probably the three dream nail dialogues practically no one will ever read in their first playthrough.

That's a common complaint until people reach the City of Tears.

youtube.com/watch?v=KkVwuWH-woA

Can't you get the dreamnail by just farming for the lantern immediately? No need for dash?

The game really isn't all that special. It's ok but no masterpiece that Yea Forums makes it out to be.

Correct, maybe, i never used steady body so i'm just assuming it almost entirely negates pogo ability.

>Mainly that exploring wasn't very interesting due to the environments being almost entirely the same shit with color variations.

You need either lamp or desolate dive to get dream nail.

If you have problrms with some particular bosses just train them in the hall kf gods till you feel confident enough, never give up but take breaks if you feel tired: i was reaching last floor consistently but after 10 hours i still died halway trough . Good luck user

I agree. It's decent enough but far from great. I hate how everyone will call you a shitposter for voicing this opinion.

Didn't that autist say HK was his goty 2017 though? If you want to pick an actual eceleb at least choose a non-meme one like fagthosis who disliked this game.

A big part of that is because it exceeded expectations. It was a kickstarter game made by two guys for 20k bucks and sold for 15 dollars, so personally I would expect maybe 10 hours of content for that price, but the base version of the game has like 40 hours of content, and you can easily double that if you count the free updates since then.

he kept oing on and on about the value of art. That was the only review of his that was thoroughly unwatchable

His video on Hollow Knight must be one of his worst ones
>"Well, when reviewing a game we need to review it both as ART and PRODUCT"
>As product is PERFECT because it costs little!
>BUUUT! As ART!...
What follow is an hour and a half ramble where he keeps going around this art vs product struggle that makes no sense. The rest is him justifying the fact that 90% of his love for the game was caused by him locking himself inside deepnest without a lamp is perfectly fair because it's a "critique" and not a "review".

how much have they made of it

>few
The first two are Black Egg and Lake Unn house right? Can't you simply
>avoid black egg>defeat hornet>go to sly>grind geo for lantern>crystal peak rush to resting grounds>dream nail>go to black egg and nail him
?
>Sleeping Gruz Mother
Holy shit that WOULD be an out-of-the-way goal huh? The path to resting grounds through Crystal peak by grinding for lantern is out of the question becasue she blocks Sly. You'd have to A. rush Deepnest for tram pass or B. rush Royal Waterways to then access right-side City to resting grounds elevator. Imagine a 113% dialog collection journal.

How come when this game came out on PC, people kept shitting on these threads day in and out while I tried to tell people that it's great. Now that's it's on switch, people cream their pants over it. I've had friends who I felt like would love the game ignore it because it was on PC and ended up loving it on switch. It's such an odd feeling, this slight feeling of being irked because someone wouldn't follow your recommendation and then they would end up doing the recommendation through their own accord and precede to tell you how great the game was. Still overall happy that they're happy though. Thanks for reading the blog.

It sold at least a million copie so quite a lot I guess.

America is mainly Nintendo

Sad truth

Dude, It was literally game of the year material. It's actually a great game if we define that great by mass appeal. The fans say it, the critics say it, nearly everyone says it. That's why it's 10/10 on steam. It's not decent, it's actually great.

The lifecyle of HK threads on Yea Forums was a wild one.

>game was fucking unoptimized as fuck back then with lots of drops, the game crashing at failed tramway, and the failed champion being absolutely horrible
>despite that Yea Forums actually started playing, liking, and eventually loving the game as they discovered how big it was
>shit got so bad that HK eventually got moved to /vg/ for a short time
>now begins the dark period
>that long moment after the /vg/ debacle where every thread got labelled as shilling
>day in and day out HK got reverse trolled and falseflagged to oblivion
>not even mentioning the autistic LM poster
>Hideen Dreams and Grimm Troupe where small pockets of great threads before devolving into clusterfucks again
>eventually it died down but not until.shit went critical mass as HK got a switch release
>eventually Godmaster came out as well and the game got popular enough in Yea Forums and the original HKfags went through enough shitposting that the threads can weather almost anything
>skip ahead with the silksong announcement and now HK is almost becoming a heavy staple

You like hornet, huh?

Check the Dark Souls achievement rates sometime, it's hilarious. Only 50% of DS3 players made it to Abyss Watchers. Only 60% of DS1 players made it to Firelink for the first time.

B A S E D

is that Steam achievements? I'm pretty sure those also count people who just have the game in their library and never started it up?

that barely says anything then

Ah, fine memories of shitposting galore.

All I know is that I'm playing it again now and I'm fucking loving it all over again. I've identified a few flaws and nitpicks and the charm system feels very slightly half baked (9/10s baked?) but it's still a goddamn wonder.

To be completly Honest with you all
I didnt even know Hollow Knight existed until it won and award on Yea Forumsga

Matosis had some weird complaints. He liked the bosses and the map system that most people generally complain about, but hated the size of the map and your traversal options.

There aren't many movement options missing from the game though. All I can think of is the endgame 'screw attack' type of power up that lets you traverse the map as an unkillable beast. Like the poison cloud of Symphony or being able to become a Bat in Aria of Sorrow. Maybe he would have been okay with you becoming an invincible shade that could float through the areas? As it stands pogo, double jumping, wall-jumping, dashing, desolate dive, crystal heart and shade cloak are a good amount of movement options. Especially when sharp shadow, dash/sprintmaster and some of the other charms can vary things up even more.

I'd prefer Silksong open with Pure Vessel surprising Hornet in the Godmaster ending but being all peaceful and displaying a bit of his rudimentary personality.

It's been 2 years since HK?

What the fuck. It feels like it was just yesterday when we were all still arguing about whether it should be put in god-tier on the metroidvania chart we update.

I decided to check it out after hearing so much about it, but it doesn't look that good. Is there another version that isn't a side scroller, or something? why does it get so much praise?

Did you PLAY it?

>another version that isn't a side scroller
this is either a 15 year old or some higher being tier bait.

Glad to see the game's success. Hopefully, the devs can now hire someone for the sequel who knows how to do level design.

>radiance delegated to waiting tables
kek, bitch

Platformer, maybe? i don't know the correct term. I watched about 30 mins of gameplay and didn't really see anything special. Given how people have talked about it, I was expecting to be wowed

Just taking the chance to say the space between Godmaster revitalization dying out around September and the Silksong trailer a few weeks ago was horrible.
Nothing but condensed shitposting and falseflagging for months.
Worst part is that it was almost always the same retarded non-arguments, like people crying about getting lost, or about not liking the color palette, etc. It was even common to find people making shit up that doesn't even happen in the game.

It's a shame; as someone who thinks the game is between an 8 or 9, I would love to discuss some of the flaws the game has and what ideas people would have to improve it. Like the fact that the reward-cycle of the money is broken, or the abuse of breakable walls, or the incomplete potential charm interactions have, or the Dreamers ending up as the equivalent of a door lever when they're the perfect excuse for unique challenges and events.
But these threads have endured through so much shitposting that people will instantly think I'm one of the ADHD retards who couldn't even get out of Crossroads.
It's pretty ironic when you think about it: the shitposters come constantly crying about the game being shit, but they're the main reason having an actual discussion about where/how it could be improved is an impossibility.

>backhanded shitposting
please, just go stick a broom up your arse

>Like the fact that the reward-cycle of the money is broken
Explain

You brought up actually good points. Kuddos for having a solid frame of mind and not being just a shitposter. When it came to money, if you never lost your shade, you would end up with endless cash. There just wasn't enough shit to spend it on I felt. Guess why they added the cash dumps in the DLC.

Early on you must endlessly scrimp and save to buy shit because everything drops like five bucks. You finally start to get money in midgame and then immediately run out of shit to spend it on. They added the unbreakable charms because everyone ends up with 100k geo they can't spend, but that doesn't fix the underlying problem.

The only beef I had with the game was the bosses and how underutilized your full skillset was by the end of it. Thankfully Godmaster answered that in spades.

Oh also I fucking hated how just stepping into an area would light the entire part of that map up. That's probably the biggest flaw for me personally. I could also go on about the homoginization of areas to accomodate the "go anywhere" aspect of the game but I think the pros weigh enough to ignore the cons.

>Just taking the chance to say the space between Godmaster revitalization dying out around September and the Silksong trailer a few weeks ago was horrible.

Pantheon of Hallownest having an ending locked behind it just destroyed conversation until everyone either beat it or dropped it. Silksong just gives us something new to talk about rather than people crying nerfs versus people crying to Git Gud. Switch release to Godmaster release was prime HK discussion. The massive influx of new players drowning out the shitposters was refreshing. Suddenly you had people genuinely interested in the game. Then Godmaster came and brought with it some of the hardest challenges in vidya and burned people to the point that all discussion turned real sour.

If anything Yea Forums was literally the only place on the internet that had decent Godmaster discussion when it came out. Maybe the HK discord as well from what I heard but that place is infested with speedrunning autists anyway. You couldn't take one step into a forum without finding endless bitching from the casuals.

The fact that the money ending up being "useless" midgame was a common complain everywhere has a reason. A lot of people comment on the fact finding geos deposits is only exciting at the start of the game.

For the money the game has a very basic cycle system of reward-use-punishment.
>reward
Basically, the most common reward for exploration in the game is money (either raw or relics). That's just to be expected, you're not going to find the most important upgrades and charms everywhere. Plus the devs choose to not lock any main content or progress behind secrets, so all that there is behind breakable walls to find is optional.
Nothing wrong here.
>use
This is where the problems begin. As these posts say , you end up being loaded midgame because there's actually not that much to spend, or perhaps the prices are not properly balanced for the amount of cash you end up getting easy.
The fact that they added money drops in a DLC shows they didn't know what to do with the surplus.
>punishment
The corpse running system is meant to make you appreciate the money you find more, and specially find it rewarding whenever you find relics (safe money), elevating the other 2 aspects of the cycle.
The problem is that the shade is so unchallenging and it's so rare to actually lose your money, that it fails to make the other 2 points in the cycle important.

It seriously needs balancing, either by balancing the prices or buffing up the shade.
I remember losing 19k geo in my first run, and I didn't even care because I already knew it'd only take half an area to get loaded again.
Sorry for the wall of text, it's just that I personally think the way the money is balanced is the worst flaw the game has, and been thinking about how to fix it for some time.

>how underutilized your full skillset was by the end of it
Funny that you say that; this is actually part of my list that the shitposters shouting "shill" have made impossible to me for discuss.
God, I swear nobody in these threads hate those retards more than I.

What is the problem in being "loaded" of cash if you bought everything already?
So what?
Why do you need constantly shit to buy, stupid consumerist pig

I think I heard one of the playtesters say it was a result of them working with only one difficulty. All those relics existed to soften the blow on shittier players who would constantly lose more geo on average. It was inelegant wchich was why at the very least they also made the relics like tiny lore rewards as well to at least make some players excited about shit that's more than just geo

do you have lists for all games?
