Fuck I'm so hyped for Silksong after mossbag demo review

The real game starts after you get the wall jump. If you've already reached that, then it's a lost cause.

Okay thanks, I'll just stick to other metroidvanias. I love the genre but Hollow Knight felt really shallow and basic. It's focused around boss fights, but you have a tiny moveset and no real build variety. It seems like everyone would play the game in the exact same way instead of offering real player choices on the progression of the protagonist (usually the core appeal in metroidvanias).

I sincerly hope we get an ability to get the pogo back, I can already see that most of my deaths will be from me forgetting you can't pogo anymore

Choice is bad
Fuck "muh 100 different builds" shit

A tight game carefully crafted with a vision is better

You can go literally anywhere after mushroom country. Charms offer you the unique factor. It's my personal best metroidvania since everything feels connected.

SHAAA

Technically I saw the credits since I beat the hollow knight

And I got the void heart and saw Radiance, so I'm at like 99.99% not including dlc stuff like Grimm

But yes I'm not a "gamer"

I don't necessarily mean it needs the amount of weapons available in a castlevania game. La Mulana and ESA are good examples, and even Axiom Verge. There's enough variety in the options available to the player in terms of weapons and equippables that two people will have a pretty different experience in the game, even if the core unlockables (phasing and grappling for example) are mandatory.

God mossbag is so fucking cute

IDOII

>HOW DARE YOU BE EXCITED FOR A VIDEO GAME YOU'RE EVERYTHING WRONG WITH THIS SHITTY FUCKING REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I'll take one thoughtful combat system over a hundred press a to win ones any day. SotN is a meme.

Do you guys think the Knight will appear or seen? As the god of the void?

Focused experiences are always better. I will never understand the thought process behind filling a game with useless crap weapons that you'll never use after finding the broken ones.

Okay, compare it to something else then. Look at salt and sanctuary, or even dark souls itself. Hollow knight borrowed some light soul mechanics for whatever reason, and yet has almost no combat depth. It would've benefitted from at least a couple more move options, so for example a player could base their playstyle on either blocking, rolling, evading, all that stuff. Spells exist, but they're not particularly good. You can't realistically do a magic only build or anything. That's the kind of stuff I miss. I'm not saying remove stuff from the combat system, I'm saying it feels incredibly barebones. What's the incentive for playing Hollow Knight more than once?

Hollow knight literally plays better than dark souls
Literally

Attached: radiant_GPZ.webm (674x380, 2.89M)

did you forget that charms exist?

They're like rings in dark souls. You can't make playstyles around rings, they're just a supplement.

Where and when was this confirmed?
Every piece of news including the official trailer specifically call it a sequel, was that changed?

Have you actually played this game or are you mad that it's popular?

wrong

if you haven't played it, enjoy

Nice Iframe abuse

Did the Knight die or become a higher being? Was it confirmed that the Knight had thought even tho he is made of void and void has no soul, consciousness and voice. What's the deal with the Knight?

>This post reads like it was written by someone who has literally no idea what sex even is
Except I'm married and have sex twice a week or so

Or you know, just make a handful of balanced weapons that can be independently upgraded. Did you complain when you started getting better charms, because the old ones trigger your autism?

this is Yea Forums. if you know what sex is then get the fuck out you filthy fucking sex-having faggot

Actually fucking wrong, get out of this thread.

Godhome implies he didn't "die", he broke free of his shell prison and became focused. It's possible he had a conscience because other HK had one, no real evidence though.

Mossbag's manner of speaking is faggoty. This dry dorky humor.

you seem quite upset
you should probably find a better metroidvania game to play instead

It seems to be implied that the Knight focused the void and unified its will, thus basically becoming the godlike counterpart to the Radiance by ascending the pantheon. (Godmaster endings)

The non-DLC ending where you beat Radiance implies that Knight and Hollow Knight sort of put the void to rest.

Real question is which ending is canon for Silksong.

The knight was always a higher being, being a child of the white lady and the pale king.
We don't know if the knight was truly hollow but he was MORE hollow than the Hollow Knight

said the guy that likes la mulana, the driest shit in existence

fbpb

I like to think he wasn't truly hollow at the start but his ordeals made him so.
For example, fighting through Godhome, his focus is sharpened and only thing left for him to strive for is to reach the top. Remember that feeling when you're so engrossed in a game fighting a difficult boss you lose track of time and everything around you, your mind only focused on your movement and the fight? I'm thinking of something like that.

Mee too user

Attached: PixelKnight SNESsong.png (1068x685, 45K)

If he was truly hollow, he would have no desire to combat the radiance after being cast off.
I think its implied that he has some semblance of identity, and that since the first ending is technically a bad ending, in a gameplay sense, it implies that the Knight would not be able to hold the radiance for long.

I'm getting the game day 1 but Godhome and more specifically the Hall of Gods on Radiant honed my skills so much I don't know how Silksong can go to that level in only one game. Even the bossfight showcased looked slow.

Charms really don't change playstyle much. Even when doing nail binding runs using a spell or minion focused charm set you still need to constantly attack with the nail to keep soul meter up and have consistent damage output. A couple bosses die faster to Abyss Shriek spam, but for most others mashing nail with quick slash is more efficient. Doesn't mean the game or charm system is bad, but it feels more like picking out a set of buffs that are more optimal for a given fight.

So is this game coming out this year or the next one?

They were early game bosses, akin to the Failed Knight and the Brood queen.
I think the later bosses will be significantly faster.
And there will still NOT be a snail village

Ebin simple ebin

Oh god how shitty actual games has to be

4/10 you forgot to bow.

I CAN'T FIND THE ENTRANCE TO THE FUCKING BEE COMB AREA

The Knight and or the void (one of the same) has to show up. My bet is to help hornet somehow.

Attached: 1551519976887.gif (500x513, 251K)

Go to the bottom right tram station. The entrance is near some bees.

Take the tram all the way right. Exit tram go right. There is 2 bees in a room. A cracked wall is in that room.

you're not at 99.99% if you haven't beat radiance or the dlc lmfao

Just use vengeful spirit on a pair of bees near a pit full of spiky worms

DLC is 112%

Based

I dont see how the Knight would come back because in either ending, it pretty much dissapears. HK on the other hand...

I hate this
It's clearly more colors and sprites the SNES could do

To think someone actually wasted time to make this.

pogo was fun but tbf I want hornet to be as different as possible from the knight

>4/10 you forgot to bow.
Kek

I also like the fact that it's implied Sly could go on

To think someone actually wasted time on that shit game

Implying the Knight didn't take over the hollow knight shell after ascending and becoming true perfect void.

Why does the Grimmchild never appear when fighting Grimm or NKG? Is there any lore reason for this?

Why would he?
THK and our knight are siblings and more importantly, buddies. They wouldnt do that shit to each other

>467410165
Shit bait.

Man, fighting Zote and NKG before base Radiance was a mistake. She was a walk in the park. To the people starting now, just finished the base game before the DLCs.

Lore-wise it's supposed to grow from your dance with Grimm. I dunno why they didn't let him in, it's not like he'll break the fight.

Lads, I just FUCKING beat Nightmare King Grimm

Yea that's what the godseeker thought. The weak should fear the strong. Hornet agrees.

That's the first time. I'm talking during the NKG fight, and in Godmaster rematches. Even in the pantheon, grimmchild will appear and stay with you throughout all the bosses except Grimm. why?
>Not Haunted foes
faggot

Someone post HK / KH:S soul/soulless image

I had no idea senpai was fucking ripped

I'm apparently too dumb to know that.

Technically there's only one Grimm at a time
By doing the ritual you help Grimm get the new body (aka the child)
So it makes sense that during the fight the child is not there (or rather, it's part of Grimm)

HORNY
FOR
HORNET

Grimm is probably always supposed to have the grimmchild on him for the fight, even if you don't have it equipped. He basically absorbs its power/flames it collected.

Attached: grimm.webm (896x504, 1.99M)

He is cannon ripped. He has a swimmers body. Just that that ripped as in that pic.

Hornet was planned to be DLC for Hollow Knight but turned into its very own game, which if I was to say so myself, is pretty damn awesome and much better than I could have ever imagined.
That said, considering the above, what if Ghost becomes DLC for Silksong?

So does that mean when ascending the pantheons, Grimmchild is restored to full form by Godseeker, like how she can restore THK to PV? Makes sense in a way, I guess

>weapon repai-
aaaaand dropped

Attached: me in op's thread.png (871x652, 962K)

Looks literally like character dlc for the first game.

Terrible, unless you mean as a secret boss
This is Hornet's game; I want all of the gameplay to be based around that character and what she's capable of
Otherwise, they'd have to make levels that work for both characters

>That said, considering the above, what if Ghost becomes DLC for Silksong?
Why would that be? Unless I missed something, the Knight doesnt exist.

>Zote becomes DLC for Silksong
>"Aw you know what guys ? What the hell, we made a whole game about him too"

You dont need to beat cheap retarded boss. Hollow knight is final biss8

That doesnt apply to her needle does it?

>the weak should fear the strong
In PoH, he wasn't beaten, not like in PoK. It actually looks like AR interrupted the fight, as you dont even hear the godtuner ding as you ascend to the AR fight

>I still haven't beaten Radiance
I just said fuck it and used Cheat Engine. Having to fight Hollow Knight for every attempt was bullshit.

>You lose money on death but there's money bags like dark souls
This isn't new to the series

No.

How the fuck cant you beat Radiance?

Yeah, Hollow Knight had a bank

>Hornet
>大黄蜂
>literally "big yellow bee"
And that's why literal translations are bad.

Rosary strings might be more like the soul items you can consume in dark souls, rather than HK's relics that you had to go to a npc to sell. Not really confirmed how the strings work yet though.

I call her Jew bug. Is this insensitive?

You know that there's a desired balance in between one linear way to do something and a bazillion overly similar different ways to do something which that user is talking about, right? Why can you guys only ever talk in extremes?

>Knight does not exist
No you dont exist
But seriously, he could play the role godseeker did for him, and help hornet ascend to godhood

Who is the dude

Because I face tanked my way through the rest of the game. Suddenly this tactic was of no use in this double boss fight and I didn't really care to git gud.

He's not incorrect though
I can't tell whether either him or you have played this game

>So does that mean when ascending the pantheons, Grimmchild is restored to full form by Godseeker, like how she can restore THK to PV? Makes sense in a way, I guess
They are all ideas, concepts
Basically the best they could be

Hope none of those characters come to Pharloom. Those creatures should stay in Hallownest imo.

>cheat engine

Literally game journalist tier. How have you not killed yourself yet?

Yeah man what did bugs do to you

I'm sorry I didn't have more than 30 hours to dedicate to this game.

I literally cheesed hornet 2 fight with blue masks
I'm so bad

That true. Tecnically the protagonist has only one main weapon that isnt changeable. And that is usually not the case in the other indie metroidvanias. But there´s not really anything wrong with that imo.

That fact wont change with Silksong because from what I can see so far, the tools are just replacements to charms.

>30 hours

The one thing the voidheart update got horribly wrong

No

>that part where you have to fight midair the whole time
What's so hard about it? Abyss shriek kills anything above you, you get double jump back every time you pogo, and you can pogo off the spikes on the bottom too. Even just charge slashing enemies and dashing back to the wall works well.

Gotcha.

I initially gave up an hour in. But buying it again on Switch really got into it. If you've gone to City of Tears and fought the Mantis Lords and weren't feeling it, it just isnt for you.

Will Silksong have a dashing prince/knight/hero/villain bug to flirt with Hornet?
Lesbo bugs do not count.

For me the highlight of Hollow Knight was how well suited its physics and movement lent itself to platform gameplay.
I've played tons of games in the genre, but few where the movement itself was interesting.

A shame that Hollow Knight didn't have even more sections that focused on it though, but every section that did it even if just a little was great and the ones who did it a lot were simply super satisfying.

Haven't beaten NKG or Radiance but found trial of the fool only fairly annoying. Was happy to finally clear it.

>Will Silksong have a dashing prince/knight/hero/villain bug to flirt with Hornet?
No, you'll get Zote again and you'll like it

i dunno man, maybe is the fact that i panic knowing that if i fail ill have to redo it all over again

I hope we just get a confirmation that Void given Focus is the canon ending.

>You collect shell shards to repair/craft weapons
That applies to tools only obviously. And no there´s no attack down iirc. If Hornet doesnt land the nail on the ennemy while doing the diagonal hit, she get hit instead.

The shards are basically a currency that always has a purpose, and gives reason to keep killing enemies. Geo becomes useless after everything is bought. Beads seam to be rarer and are lost on death, so I'm guessing item costs will be lower this time.

Myla is best bugfu, fight me

It sounds like castlevania influence, which is a straight upgrade from hollow shite

I beat the while game with the dlc and everything.
Then I couldn't go through path of pain and just had to look it up.
then i saw that you can actually pigo the spikes. gid damnit

You can't do vanilla white palace without pogo you liar

Hopefully the game has a physical version close to launch. I dont really like digital stuff that much.

No, you'll get shotabug who'll appeal to Hornet's big sister/need to protect instincts before she breeds him for millions of happy baby spiders to recreate a sane deepnest in Pharloom.
Get fucking ready

The gameplay makes it look like you can still pogo a bit but it's harder to execute.

I wonder if the dive will home on enemies/hittable targets below like you could do in Specter knight or Ori's bash

Anyone has a gif of Grub Mother sleeping? I find it kinda cute

Nah it seems like it's always a set distance and direction.
