The eternal debate.
The eternal debate
But both
Why not like both? This isn't a contest
I like both.
Get fucked fanbasewar nigger.
Hollow Knight
bloodstained is a better metroidvania
HK is a better action game
Bloodstained is a great Metroidvania.
Hollow Knight is a great Metroid-like.
I'd probably hate you in real life
Prove me wrong fuckmunch. They're both great games just not in the same sub sub genre.
>bloodstained is a better metroidvania
Bloodstained stops being even a half-decent metroidvania halfway through the game and at no point it reaches the level of HK's interconnectedness.
HK is a worse metroidvania due to the low frequency of acquired abilities despite the game being large
Hollow Knight easy.
Better gameplay, better art direction, harder, more memorable, more polished, and an actual original concept.
But those abilities are far more meaningful and better integrated into the game without breaking it or being nearly useless past 1-2 rooms.
>sub sub genre.
You're not wrong in your assessment of their quality, it's this pedantic shit that irritates me. "metroidvania" is ill-defined already but understood to mean "metroid-like". Throwing both of them out there implies there's a qualitative difference
It's only a debate from false flaggers.
That's like comparing cars to stools
They are different things
Both being 2d side scrollers doesn't make them comparable
lmao game warring nigger eternally BTFO
Just because people misuse it doesn't mean it's right.
Metroidvania should ONLY apply to 2D Castlevania games that deviated from Classicvania design when Igarashi took the helm. Every other future game not made by Iga that tries to copy the style of SotN should then be called Igalikes.
one has style
the other is just pixelshit
hollow knight duh
Ok, but Bloodstained isn't Castlevania.
neither of those are pixel art what are you talking about
>pixelshit
No clue which you're referring to
Hollow Knight is the pinnacle of the genre and its not even close
It pretty much is and they even have their own Classicvania in the form of Curse of the Moon.
i had more fun with hollow knight but i luv em both
Does the Switch version work yet? Mine is still sitting in the factory seal because I bought it and found out the next day that it's unplayable.
I thought bloodstained was a different thing
Sorry for shitposting
There's a pixel one called Curse of the Moon, actually. But it's not the game people are referring to when they say Bloodstained
i mustve been thinking of that because i couldve sworn i had the name right
Either way this thread is stupid
i pirated both of them if thats what youre asking
But they both suck donkey balls. Why is this even a contest?
Comparing HK with this piece of shit is disrespectful.
HK looks like a fucking flash game drawn by a 5-year-old and it doesn't even have RPG elements like Bloodstained.
There is nothing to debate.
They are both good games. Take your forced drama and hatred elsewhere.
Bloodstained looks even worse
>and it doesn't even have RPG elements like Bloodstained
here's your reply, retardo
>Bloodstained looks even worse
At least looks like they were trying, in HK's case they just said fuck it, people will eat shit anyway
>Bloodstained looks like literal dogshi-
I have both and prefer Bloodstained. HK is very comfy though, but BS has way more variety with the gameplay thanks to having actual combos, and a shit ton of useful spells. Better music too.
Why are Hollow Knight fags always desperate to pick a fight with every other game in the genre?
>Better music too.
Weak bait.

The third option - an actual fun game.
Bloodstained has boobies
Sorry dude, I love HK but Bloodstained OST is objectively better.

This is enough to be a better game, I agree
It's so generic.

>objectively
I don't think you know what this word means.

apologize
Generic.
Apologize.

What the fuck, the bloodstained theme sounds like a remix of that
