Hollow Knight thread

Pic related just updated with a free content patch about 2 hours. Mostly looks like a few bug fixes and QOL updates, but also a way to teleport (probably with dream trees or essence or something) and two additional bosses

What's the source of the first picture of the game copying Pyre?

No, no, sorry, I'm done.
I couldn't bother with the mushrooms, I can't replay the WHOLE FUCKING THING again for some bosses and whatnot.
Good for them though, glad to see they still add content for that shit.

To think it all started with that shitty flash game.

Doesn't matter what your completion % is, you can play through the new stuff, as far as I know.

What, the Mr. Mushroom thing? That's optional and you only need it on one playthrough. I 100%'d it

I pirated it.
So I'd have to find a download first, move the savefile etc etc.
Too much effort.

Yeah, Mr. Mushroom.
It doesn't really add much to the game, I know the lore and whatnot from the wiki, hunting him down won't really add much for me.
I was at 97%, missing two mask pieces and the final soul container.

Two mask pieces are only 2%. You were missing something else, too.

I realize I'm extremely late to the party with this, but why is everyone creaming their pants over this game? Is it just a decent metroidvania or what?

It's a solid game with a surprising amount of content.

It's comfy as fuck.

Sorry, rehashing genres we've already seen before is only okay if it's on my PS4. Sage

Find a torrent and play it, dude.
The combat is a little too simplistic, but everything else is wonderful. In particular it scratched my need for a game that will allow you to wander for hours without seeing a Crazy Taxi arrow pointing you in the right direction while still having enough content to ensure you'll have something to find or explore.

Music is great. Animation is great. Lore and atmosphere are great. Hornet is cute.

Read my post again.

It's a 2017 game alright.

Found one of the new bosses. Laughs were had.


Oh do you get the 1% for actually finding the container, too? My bad.

Maybe upgrade your shitbox.

Even idling somewhere, it eats 16-25% CPU and 1.1gb to 1.8gb ram

anyone got a torrent?

Are you familiar with the phrase "flavor of the month"?

Oh god it keeps going

I'd share mine with you, but I have the original Steam release without any of the bug (heh) fixes or performance improvements. You'd be better off trawling one of usual sites.

yep, found a GOG version just now.
the fact that the devs put out a non-DRM version of the game tempts me to buy it. Depending on how much I like the game they just may be getting my money.

One of the new bosses is accessed by using the Dreamnail on Dung Defender after defeating him.
Second one is located in Bretta's basement. You must have saved Bretta and beaten Zote in the Colosseum. You can fight Dream Zote after the two fall in love. Both bosses get harder after each time they're defeated.

New Stag Station is located behind a wall in the Palace Grounds, I think.

Fast travel consumes essence and is unlocked by talking to the Seer. If she's already gone, you will have the ability already.

I think that's it.

It's because the game is running on the Unity engine.

Also, enemies will "rarely" drop it, it costs 1e to teleport, and you can fight the bosses a lot of times to get basically unlimited essence.

Anyone know what the new achievements are? There's three; two of them are for the new bosses, not sure what the last one is.

He's up to 7 damage per hit now

Apparently it does 10+ and gets to the point where it instant kills you

If it instakills, you might as well do a 1-health glass-cannon build.

i love this game. 40+ hours so far on first playthrough. due to this, i probably won't go for a second as the amount of content in this game is far too staggering.

hornet, however, is my waifu. want to date/marry/bring home to mom. i also would like to bonk iselda if the opportunity were ever to arise.

It's the first metroidvania to make me want to quit before finishing it.
It's not really my style of game and I doubt it's the type of style that fits for the genre, it's so fucking boring and drab and I hadn't had a single moment of enjoyment playing it.

if i have to say anything about this game at all without going on about the aesthetics, OST, play control, etc… it's that the bosses are truly engaging. you have to git gud to beat most of them, especially lost kin

Most of the bosses, with the exception of the dream bosses and the true final boss, are fairly easy to overpower and/or heal in between their attacks. Lost kin becomes much easier with the defenders crest equipped, as the "smell" will instakill the floating things.

This this this this.
Use the defender's crest for Lost Kin or you'll get fucked.

Have they fixed the fuck awful optimisation? I have a fairly old laptop that can easily run Ori and the Blind Forest but absolutely burns out trying to run Hollow knight.

I tried playing for about 2 hours and could tell it is an excellent game with superb sound and art direction but the framerate made it unplayable.

Yes I can play it fine on my PC but I travel a lot so would ideally have it on my laptop.

Did someone mess with a time machine?

I actually don't like this patch. The extra bosses are nice by themselves, but they basically replace both the dream bosses and the dream warriors on the path to getting the true ending.

I never killed any of the dream form bosses and I got the true ending. What are you talking about?

You need 1500 Essence in order to enter the White Palace. I think there's just barely enough in the game without killing the dream bosses. The new repeatable bosses trivialize that.

Ah, I think i maybe killed one of the dream bosses im not sure. But i know i didnt try any of the other ones. Im not into the bullet hell bullshit. I played to get comfy.

The only one that comes even remotely close to that is The Radiance

I was mistaken, you need 1800 to unlock the White Palace

According to the wiki, you can get 482 from whispering roots, 26 from ghosts, and 1100 from dream warriors (the gravestone fights). That's only 1608, so you'd still need to fight one of the three dream bosses and most of the dream warriors. In the new version you can skip all of that by repeating the new bosses, which are WAY easier even at double damage

The Failed Knight can be kind of like that, with rocks falling randomly at all times during the fight. Mostly you just ignore the rocks and use the boss jumping over your head for cover.

Not sure how much essence you can actually get from the new bosses. I killed Zote like 7 times and only got his essence once, I'm pretty sure.

Each one is 300. I haven't done them a second time, I just assumed you got essence each time.

If the game had better combat and more responsive controls, I 'd agree with you. The "harder" version of False Knight and some of the more projectile-focused bosses are more about pattern memorization and RNG spam than skill.
>especially lost kin
Lost kin's second fight is the absolute worst since the only difference is the presence of constantly spawning adds. All it takes is the Defender's Crest to completely trivialize the fight.

I guess you could call Failed Knight "pattern memorization". Mostly you just dash under him when he jumps towards you, and prepare to dodge shockwaves when he jumps away. The tricky part is making sure that his forward jump doesn't stop short so that he ends up landing on your head when you dash. That's a combination of playing the distance and watching his jump angle.

well, mark this one up as another bit of proof that pirating doesn't hurt sales. I played for 2 hours and am buying it tomorrow.

the only thing I worry about is replay value, but it looks like there's enough content there to warrant the 10 bucks at least.

wait, one question what's the dev's poz level?

Don't know their past games or twitters but theres pretty much no politics or signalling in the game itself

Unless you Salubra the charm merchant but thats just hardfab gay and nothing more

yeah, I just figured it would suck to have some character I like ruined in the DLC, but at the moment there really aren't to many signs of that.

And now I need to go look for Hornet porn.

Doesn't the blacksmith gay it up with one of the nailmasters if you don't murder him? I killed him when I played so I only know what I read

I guess, but its more of a late-age identity crisis and the two living together as a master and pupil to hone their skills

The achievement for it is "happy couple"

How often will I need the Y button if I play on a gamepad? Mine's acting up and I'm too much of a jew to pay $11 for a game I can't play right now.

Xbox Y button? Hardly ever, it's just for the dream nail which is basically a rarely used secondary interact button.

Can be useful in coliseum if you manage to keep the weak guards alive or in the white palace to top off your health/soul.

It's only necessary for interacting with corpses to access extra bosses and for cutting certain trees to start a gathering minigame.
So it's non-essential.
You can use it to steal energy from enemies but I went through the whole game without doing that.

I'm still a bit wary. Might have to put it off until I can get my gamepad fixed/replaced. Just stopped working right out of nowhere.

Myla>Hornet

>you can't save her

You don't.

I'm still surprised a video game made a civilization of bug people so adorable. And then killed them all without remorse.

hahahaha, oh…no, it really isn't. it's like a metroidvania mated to DLC Quest. Instead of upgrading your character, you'll spend the first few hours just unlocking features of the map. You know, the ones that are standard in other metroidvanias (player location, map updating as you explore). While you are doing that, you'll be treated to bland environments that wear out their welcome after one screen. The standard enemies are really awful, but oddly not that plentiful, so you will have to roam around a lot to grind out money for the upgrades that should have been part of the game in the first place. It's like Shadow Warrior 2 - there's been such a dearth of anything decent so that now there's a decent title released, everyone loses their fucking minds about it. solid 5-6/10 game

It's overrated piece of shit.
I still can't figure out why so many, otherwise critical and cynical anons, jumped on this horseshit like hungry feminist on nigger cock.

Weird thing is, the primitive map is one of the things I initially liked about the game before I started losing my patience. It had that Thief appeal, I liked that it was a sketchy, static document that forced you to have even a small amount of spatial awareness since it didn't accurately and automatically keep track of everything like every other game. Then you can buy all the bells and whistles and it turns into a normal map.

Spotted the casual.

I fail to see how the map can be a problem, considering that it's piss easy to find the map bug in areas that you actually need to be in. There is a single area where you can't find the map straight away, and it's intentionally done because that area is not a fake starting area and has to be revisited later.
Also a non-issue since you never have to grind unless you're stupidly bad at the game.
This game is open to explore, if progress wasn't blocked by upgrades you could literally get to the midgame in the first 5 minutes. It's so easy to tell which anons didn't actually play the game.

The meatboy autist did indeed play the entire game and was so triggered he keeps posting that image whenever Hollow Knight is mentioned.
Sometimes, autism is for real.

It really irritates me that despite the huge map, the game consists of 90% areas that take no platforming skill to progress through, and are filled with boring lesser enemies. They exist only to make the game take longer since you have to run through them every time you want to backtrack somewhere.

Annoying != hard

...

That is pretty autistic.

Is this your first Metroidvania?

It's easy when they bring their own flag to wave.

The only other one I can think of that has pointlessly large areas filled with mobs is OOE.

No, but the others either had shorter distances to backtrack through or had better platforming/enemies to make it less boring

Explain.

It's the opposite. His autism is so pervasive he chases these threads and will make sure you see him whether you keep track of people or not.

There is one area that is platforming puzzles with buzzsaws, in an intentional Meatboy reference, isn't there?

Shitty newgrounds flash tier game that is adored by redditors.

I know the game, I don't understand why user thinks it's similar


One optional area

It's not, he's butthurt because he's a casual.

It's not optional if it's required for true ending.


Not an argument.

It's a nice game with a staggering amount of content for it's price. And if you do buy it, for the love of God, get it on GOG.

You write like a retard and therefore are one.

You never fail to post that every single thread about this game. The game has flaws and they are not the White Palace nor the map system so good job not playing the fucking game.

And every time I post screenshot of me 100%ing it. It's shit.
So fuck off.

...

Well if everything didn't look exactly the same I probably would.

Video games as a whole are optional.

That actually makes it even worse.

Are you the same 4cuck as the last OP? This game is optimized like shit and causes both my laptop's CPU and SSD to overheat. It's a fucking 2D action platformer for Christ's sake.

Isn't it made in unity?

user maybe you should see a doctor or something

I mean it's not a bad game overall, but the amount of blind droning and non-arguments used to protect its objective flaws is concerning.
It's as if people deliberately false-flagging to alienate against this game and its fandom.

White palace takes around 30 minutes at the end of a 25 - 30 hour game. It's a shitty buzz saw environment that isn't suited to the controls but is completely trivialised with the right charms.

Not being able to traverse White palace and then making out like it's a massive portion of the game shows you're casual as hell, have no idea what you're doing with charms and frankly should still to watching TV

It's a huge difficulty spike that the rest of the game didn't prepare you for.
Also spending minutes waiting your HP regenerate after one little mistake is not what you would call "trivialize".
Fast slash comes in handy at least.

Between Hive blood, which gives you 1 HP back in 10 seconds, Deep Focus, which gives 2HP when focusing, and grub song, which gives you soul when taking damage, it is trivialised and it sure as hell doesnt require waiting "minutes"

It's still shitty game design marring otherwise solid product and you're just searching for excuses making yourself look like a shill.

Also it doesn't actually trivialize it since you still need to do a terribly designed puzzle with inappropriately sluggish controls.

I explicitly stated "It's a shitty buzz saw environment that isn't suited to the controls"

I know it's not a well designed section, but given you can't actually die if you use HiveBlood and patience, it goes from being "difficult" to just "frustrating".

It's a dumb section of the game but it also takes up something like 2% of the total playtime, so shitting your pants about it is a bit much.

...

Sounds about right.
Fuck white palace.

Shills. It's a dime a dozen lazy as fuck western indie metroidvania. Nobody will even remember this game a year from now.

I liked it.

fucking persistent flags

...

The problem isn't the game, it's you.

No, I didn't have any problems with the rest of the game.

thankfully, summerfags will be gone soon

Fun game, won't replay it until they add all content they plan on adding, tough.
Reminder to if you get weird mini-freezes on particle generation, alt-tab, right click desktop then click refresh, then alt-tab back to the game. If it doesn't work , re-open the game and do it again after getting the freezes a few times.
Posted this a few times on this boeard and never seen anyone else knowing of this trick(found it out by myself).

Yeah nope, this bizarre piece of filler shit does not belong in any game in or within the vicinity of the current fucking year +2.
It's cool if you're NEET with days to waste though, I figure.

take a load of this casual

why did these seem to take so long to kill. like i know it was only about 3 minutes but christ it was like the same shit over and over. why couldnt they just die sooner

posting best song. its a fun little game that actually has content, charm, good music, nice themes, a nice art style. Combat could be expanded with more weapon style, i know charms can change the way its played but different weapon types could've been implemented to keep it fresh. I had no issues with the platforming, the only thing that sucked was the framerate drop when there was too much money laying around and would fuck my timing but it seems they fixed that. White Palace was intimidating at first but shit became easy after i collected the right charms. Shit i had a harder time trying to do the side mission for the pale princess shit. the one where you have to deliver the flower across the fucking map without getting hit.

I wonder if I can thiccify her somehow…

WAIT
THERE'S FREE DLC
HOLY SHIT
BASED

...

What were all those crybabies whining about again?

Dude, there's people in this thread that took 8 hours to beat White Palace and claim to not be retarded.

Even old castlevanias didn't pull this shit.

Wew

I don't understand, what's the problem with the map system? The fact that you have to buy the map paper for each area first? It's barely an issue, the vendor even leaves a trail of papers to lead you to him and he's never too deep.

Took me about 30-45 minutes. Do you even pogo?

It's really cool that all the beasties in the area bow in your presence (or just leave you alone in the case of the flying fuckers) once you've beaten these bastards.

Spent about an hour trying to kill the mage guy yesterday (the dream one, you get to through his corpse). Literally didn't even manage to weaken him once. Guess I'm gonna have to wait until I've at least got a double jump - see if that helps.

Anyway, it's a bloody good game.

What the hell is wrong with you? You literally 100 percented it ffs.

All of the dream bosses are optional bosses to get the true ending, so you're supposed to do them after you're a bit more kitted out. Soul Tyrant in particular requires a LOT of damage since his moves are pretty predictable. None of the Fragile charms break in dream boss fights though so try using Fragile Strength.

Cheers, lad. To tell the truth, having read little about it, and just played through at my own pace, there's probably loads of stuff I've missed and techniques I'm not aware of. I still haven't found any pale ore. And I tend to just use the charm that gives you more soul.

But yeah, that dream mage guy seemed so fucking hard. Watched a video of someone doing it with the same moveset I have. Didn't help me at all. I'll get him at some point though.

Since you have the dream nail already, you can get a Pale Ore from the Seer after you get like 300 essence.

Yeah literally just looked it up. Need an upgrade for the big bulbous fucker who shoots flies at you (in the sewers).

What shitty flash game?

...

Aside from the fact that you have to buy the map before being able to see it yourself I think the map system works fine and aids in the exploration.

I never felt that way.
If anything, the game's control scheme even allows to make your own shortcuts and go everywhere you want as long as you're capable of going there yourself.
I enjoy it greatly because it isn't just "you can't go here until you get X item" because you can ignore the double jump upgrade as long as you have an enemy you can bounce against.

Like what?
Its enemies are actually kind of original, so are the levels, I don't remember ever going "oh they reused this shit".

That's true and false.
It depends on your equipment, if you get a maxed out nail with fragile strength and quickslash you can destroy any boss in a few minutes, Radiance included.
If you do face an enemy with ill equipment however you're going to end up spending an entire day at it.
I remember facing the Soul Tyrant with an unupgraded nail (didn't found out the nailsmith at the time) and I remember it BEING FUCKING HELL.

It's shit.

Shills. And in a few months some documents might leak to confirm that.

So I was right in say this shit is one step above a flash. God indy programmers are shit.

?

Not only that but Hollow Knight itself was originally programmed in Stencyl.

still fucking around with character design…

hnnnnng thicc

Here's some stuff from my sketch book as well, it's quite a bit rougher tho.

Played the game finally for about an hour. Honestly, not terribly impressed. Overly sappy presentation feels like it's trying way too hard to be taken seriously, having to buy the mechanics for the map including the maps themselves is not fun, and being misled to believe what I thought was the first boss led to getting stomped time and time again. I had to look him up to realize I'm not supposed to fight him yet, and need an acquired ability to succeed. It's not necessarily a bad game, but my gut was right all along.

...

I'm thinking s/he's referencing the google anti-diversity document leak that is being misdirected as sexism by the mass media and they are calling for the dude to get fired for it.

That explains a lot.

The bosses should have health bars. That way you know if you aren't doing significant damage to them not to waste your time trying over and over again. That wouldn't be necessary though if they just skipped giving you damage upgrades entirely and balanced the whole game off the starting damage.

Mate, as long as the path to the boss is open, you are suppossed to fight it and be able to kill it.

I agree with the map gimmick, you should be able to update the map even if you dont buy it cause you did not find the NPC nor went to the city to buy it. After all, when you buy the map, you need to personally update it so what's the point of buying it if I can already draw the map myself?


They should show on the inventory damage value in numbers so you know how much you deal and then in the hunting info the HP of each enemy.
You should not be able to know the HP of an enemy that you have not defeated, so bosses should never have an HP bar, it adds to the thrill.

It's a pretty ridiculous jump in quality from their original game.

Well MC's sprite and animations are exactly the same.

I wouldn't say the animations were the weak point of that game though.

Loving the Totally Not A Medievil Rip Off music

is the other DLC going to be free?

Everything is free in the internet silly.

I've been thinking about what you could have possibly encountered in the Forgotten Crossroads which you could have mistaken for a boss.
And then it hit me: you thought the fucking Baldur was the first boss. You jumped down into the first area, walked three screens to the left and thought an enemy with no special music or locked doors and all of one attack was the first fucking boss.

You know what, sure. If that's honestly your first time playing the game, then sure. That's an honest mistake and I can't hold it against-
WHY
HOW
How could you possibly think that enemy was the first area boss? What is wrong with you? Were you dropped as a child? I'm wracking my brain trying to find an alternative, but the Baldur is the only remotely boss-like enemy in the starting area. And how the fuck could it "stomp" you when all you have to do is stand next to it for it to STOP ATTACKING YOU?

Why can't anyone on this board play video games? Why doesn't anyone who dislikes this game do it for reasons beyond MUH MAP or being a tard with no motor control?

REEEEEEEE

Isn't there an optional late-game boss that is just a reskin of that enemy?

There are a few combat rooms involving Baldurs, but the enemies only appear as enemies. There are the Mawleks, which attack in a similar way, but those are basic enemies rather than bosses. The Greater Mawlek is introduced with the pomp and circumstance of a boss, but it's actually just a tough enemy.

I complained about the brooding mawlek when I first played. I found that before the false knight, and with only the starting weapon it takes quite a bit longer than it should to kill. 50 hits with no indication of damage and an attack pattern that only allows you to get 1 or 2 hits per cycle safely

False knight technically has more HP, but it shows progress better and a good chunk of that is "free" damage against the head.

Hey look. More evidence that 8/v/ is being infested with ftm tumblrina artwhores who are only here to play fullderp, shill their art and hijack drawthreads.

Man, Mark. You've really let Holla Forums down.

...

Dammit user. You're supposed to make them not feel like a man. Girls can't be faggots unless mtf.

is it anyway related to shovel knight or what

...

Post more bugs.

Seems related tbh.

I'd need to throw her in a burka, take away her thicc, and make her look like a lumpy bag of mashed potatoes to be part of that club.

Why did he turn on you after the infection, he didn't explode or have orange swells.

It starts as just a brain thing, most of the infected things in the game near the surface or the civilized areas don't have the goop bubbles or explode. Those seem to be things that come after prolonged infection.

Your art style is extremely delicate as if it was drawn with female hands. It also shows femininity. Are you a femanon or a tranny? I find it hard to believe that you're a real man.

yeah theres not enough grit to it, wheres all the NOISE and SKULLS

Completely missing the point.

The way a real man draws is blatantly different to that of a woman or a woman taking t-shots. Women have better hands and a more creative mind. You can see it in linework wand whatnot. Even slugbox's shit shows that he is a real dude and he tries hard to make it as feminine as possible. Fetish shit aside.

Also the drawthreads here and on cuck/v/ are infested with women. Have you ever been to a cuck/vp/ drawthread nowadays?
Then you realize that most of them are feminists with colored hair or ftms. When they don't get enough attention on tumblr, they come here to get the attention of some lonely autists to critique their art. It's called signal boosting.

thats a lot of effort to not really say anything

Oh. I get it. You're fishing for (you)s… also you're a retarded faggot. Good gimmick though. Points for originality.

The last posts pic wasn't mine. Also, I'm a jack of all trades master of none when it comes to style.

the great irony of the whole thing is I actually don't like drawing that much and have moved most of my creative work to 3d sculpting and animation. Mostly I just draw for character sheets now.

spoiled images for off topic. Also, to further not derail the thread this is my last post on the subject.

Women have inferior motor skills. "Creavitity" can't be quantified in such a way as to be worth anything.
You're fucking dumb, dude.

Sorry to piss you off with facts that conflict your ideology kiddo, but I am not "fishing" for anything. What I said was valid and I meant it.


This board really is full of autists. Not a feminist, but most artists are biological females. That's a fact. Try not to sperg out over it too much. Women actually have better motor skills than men in certain fields and drawing is one of them. That could explain why a large percentage of artists are females.

Oh. And if you dare go on tumblr, you'll see that a lot of the drawfriends here post the stuff that you commissioned them to do right on there. Cuck/vp/ is a prime example, or hell even check out their deviantart page.


You still haven't answered my question.

Pics or it didn't happen, "kiddo."

straight white man. Not a tranny. Don't have an art name. Had a tumblr back in 2014 (due to constant demand that I make one so people could follow my work) that I used to post lewd stuff on for a short time but I don't do lewd art or post my stuff anywhere but Holla Forums now. Haven't posted my stuff anywhere but here since.

All you had to do was ask

pokemon-drawfriends.deviantart.com Teckworks founded it ages ago, but all the original artists are long gone and it's full of tumblrites now. Coffeeanon is a SJW who runs a few tumblrs.

If you dare:
tumblr.com/search/4chan request and be sure to visit their tumblrs for pronouns. Not all of them, but some do. These are drawfriend regulars from various boards, namely Holla Forums and /vp/.

Just an example. If you want more, ask.


Impressive that your art style is so feminine. You must have very delicate hands or are feminine yourself.

Oh, and this one right here. Can't believe I missed it drawfags.deviantart.com

FizTheAncient is a notorious furrytumblrite artist runs this group. Been on both chans for a long while, runs some tumblrs of course. She fucking co-owns Weasyl. This is dead fucking proof that drawthreads are sharkbait for tumblrites.

The thread is getting derailed too much. I've proved my point. Bye.

Proclaiming that all the drawfags are women or faggot tumblrites because these groups exist is the same as proclaiming that everyone on Holla Forums is a casual faggot because the Holla Forums steam groups exist. Yeah, of course there are going to be a bunch of faggots in any community, but you're making those faggots represent the entire community is just incorrect.

Source?

All I've really seen proved is that Holla Forums (and the larger 8ch/4chan in general) is full of attention-whores and autists, which isn't anything new; nevermind that all the deviantarts and Tumblr blogs you've listed apply to 4chan, not here. At this particular moment you're included as one of those autists for sperging out about feminine artstyles and oh god all drawfags are actually trannies or women because of scattered instances of drawfags and loose collectives of them.

Those faggots are still in the community though user. They're there and there's not much we can do.

Who cares if they're capable of keeping it to themselves

Problem is they don't keep it to themselves.

Why do retards always do this? Always the first fucking thing they do when faced with a problem is to just grind before doing anything else. You'll be able to afford all map upgrades 5% into the game maximum without any grinding at all, and most of the map markers aren't even that useful until further into the game. But no, got to fucking drop everything and start grinding so I can post on Holla Forums about how much I hate the grinding in this game.

Most drawfags in the threads, and even in something very personally driven like /agdg/ go without namefagging or tripfagging or shilling.. meanwhile, you go over to /htg/ nearly every single fucking thread has a patreon link on it.
And as long as we're having this conversation, I can't say I fault any long-time imageboard users for branching out into e-begging, especially when it comes to art and shit. Holla Forums is a fun place, but it's not an audience or market you can capture and sustain yourself on. People need to get paid, y'know? And the culture around here is all archive links, webms, and piracy. I get why and I support it for certain things, but if you're working your ass off and doing it 4free, you are leaving money on the table for the sake of pleasing a bunch of faggots who shitpost all day.

The game is incredibly easy, with the exception of the radiance, and no where near as good as metroid. I'd put it in the same tier as axiom verge.

Neat

The Radiance is way easier than any of the original dream bosses. Other than that though yeah the combat is generally pretty easy. Doesn't matter, what makes the game fun is exploring, and there's a fuckload of that.

you have to grind if you die a lot. Perhaps it's a matter of gitting gud?

I just pirated the GOG version of this game and have been playing for about an hour or so. I beat the False Knight and that mother fly boss and didn't die once. The only time I died was when I accidentally slipped into some acid or whatever, and even then I just went back to that area and killed my ghost to get all my money back. Holy shit, how casual is this fucking board getting? I mean the game isn't this fucking masterpiece of video game entertainment but it's pretty enjoyable. I can understand the complaints about enemies being too sparse, but holy shit anybody complaining about grinding must be so fucking bad that they die constantly and don't have the short-term memory to remember where they died.

They get less sparse after the initial areas, City of Tears and the sewers in particular have a ton of enemies in rooms
That's not even a valid excuse since the general location of your ghost shows up on the map even if you haven't bought one for the area yet.

How? By that article, Hollow Knight shrinks the hippocampus, since it doesn't require you to use your memory for navigation.

Nah the dream bosses are easy if you have the right charms equipped, blue hearts, quick nail and whatever for the hammer guy, regen stuff for soul tyrant and stink cloud for the glowy one.
Hell I beat all of them before I even got the black cloak that lets you dodge through stuff.

People who need to use maps in games where it's unnecessary are retarded and literally letting their brain rot. That's how.

It's like the people who complain about Etrian Odyssey requiring grinding because a boss/FOE pushed their shit in. Nevermind the fact that many bosses can be soloed if you put some thought into your skill points, clearly not being able to auto-attack the boss to death means I need to grind, not start putting some effort into my party composition.

One final bump

Actually, it's not known widely but men are better artist, while woman are better at writing, as in the fact they have beautiful writing, but biologically men are better at art and more creative, it's just how male brain works, woman on other hand just reuse what they already know or understand, it's also why Shoujo manga is made by woman and Shonen is made by men, sure exception do exist as well, FMA, Blue Exorcist, they have female artist but they pretty much learned art from men instead of developing their own on contrary, lol.

Let's rather waste time talking about which boss was aesthetically the coolest of them all, anons.

lol
why do I immediately imagine who ever ends their conversations with lol to be a massive faggot?

Is this the white palace guy? I read your comments about the white palace and how much time you spend there as well as how shitty the experience is before I started the game.

Well I jjust cleared all three endings after a weeks worth of playing. I spent maybe an hour in the white palace. It was tough for a shitter like me but it was such a non-factor in the overall game. It was interesting as a chance of pace from cheesing another boss fight. I spent more time clearing the Colosseum than I did the white palace.
Its not a perfect game, but it was fun and I thought you blew that shit out of proportion.

Because it's an utter normfag thing to do I guess.

...

Look at the Shonen and Shojo arts in the anime industry, woman suck at art lmao.

I chuckled a bit at the quote, and I disagree. In reality, it's the exact opposite of that. Women are shit at writing with some exceptions, but excel at art. That's why most artists are women and why the writing of men is far superior. Don't get me wrong, there are some great cismale artists out there as you've pointed out, but it's a small minority compared to the wimminz. Girls just like art more. Tumblr alone proves that there are far more women into art then the strong white cisman.

[citation needed]
Most of the literary publishing industry in North America and Europe is women, and most novels are geared towards women (you can see the effects of this in schools, since literacy rates among boys have sunk over the last decade at minimum). Womens' brains are not wired nearly as visually as mens' are.

Stop being cucks.
Here how it actually is:

There.
Women are not better at anything, at best there might be some individuals that can be good but never "better" than their men counterparts.

Better at having babies.
Better at everything else. Full stop.

Yes: "Into", but not "good at".
2/10 because you made me reply.
