I hate Hollow Knight and I'm not even brave enough to make that comment in this thread. Better head for the bunker my friend, they're coming for you.

I think the aesthetic and animation work on blasphemous is incredible, but it is not fun to play at all Everything is slow and plodding and you die in two hits so you have to spend a lot of your time shuffling back from the last checkpoint

You're more resilient than two hits. And I thought the run backs to bosses were shorter. Also the bosses were more fun and required far less attempts than Hollow Knight's.

Late but MHR rules. Great QoL and coming from MHW load times are so much better. Prety much only used LS and Bow in World but in Rise started with Dual Blades and that felt a little mashy so I switched to Lance and am loving that. Then did an Arena quest with preset equipment and the only choice I felt familiar with at all was LS and that felt real nice so might get back into it also. I guess I have to resub to Switch Online and don't really mind cause I want to try PacMan99 and some of the S/NES games I never got around to but the only real online action stuff I've ever tried on the Switch was when Splatoon 2 did like a free weekend and my connection was garbage the whole time.

But the bosses never stop being slogs and at the end of the day the knight always feels like a weak character, even with the variety of charm loadouts.

The Super Nintendo Switch will also be the only device compatible with Nintendo's "Nintendo Switch Online Plus" which will be like $10 more, but will offer N64 retro games. Yawn. Maybe if they add Mischief Makers. Or Ogre Battle 64. Maybe even StarFox 64. Or F-Zero X. But 95% of the other N64 games leave me dead cold.

i ended up clocking godmaster in hollow knight because i like zoomin' around like greased lightning. blasphemous is great, with really strong aesthetics, but the rigidity of it and castlevania-esque platforming sections put me off a bit both great games, just play both

ExcessBLarg! posted:I played through most of Hollow Knight six months ago, dropped it for lack of time, and haven't been interested in going back. I feel almost the exact same way. It's loving gorgeous and atmospheric as hell. But I bounced off of it hard when I realized i don't have the patience for slog bosses and nitpicky platforming anymore. It's an awesome game though.

i like hollow knight, but i didnt beat it. it has some major flaws. i agree that the bosses are slogs, and that HK feels weak. i like that he generally feels fragile, though. i didn't find any of the bosses to be TOO bad until the one that ended the game for me (the evil fallen mantis lord guy that got buffed post-launch to do extra damage and stuff) still pumped for silksong though

Team Cherry's debut was a terrible Newgrounds flash game with a 1 star rating, followed by Hollow Knight, so on this trajectory Silksong will be about double as good as Hollow Knight It's just science

I hated the boss battles, but chaining together little jet bursts hopping from...weird glowing sad-face ball to weird glowing sad-face ball was great. Upthread somewhere, someone asked about World Ends with You. I'm slightly surprised to see more folks aren't excited for the sequel coming out this summer? I own the first game on DS but never played it..

I own the first game on DS but never played it.. The original game is one of the great JRPGs of its era: stylish, snappy, engaging, novel and fun to play, well-paced. But when a sequel comes so far after the original release, it’s hard to have faith that the same kind of creative energy will go into it: after all, I think it’s mostly different people working on the game.

On the other hand, it's possible that there are fans of the original who have been dying to inject their ideas into a sequel for years finally getting to do it. I think it could go either way.

They revealed today that there's going to be a time travel mechanic where you can 'go back in time to the start of the day you are on and make different choices to try for a better outcome to the day' which has me tenatively interested but also loving baffled because of all the new systems for a TWEWY sequel loving life is strange was not even in the same galaxy

I'm excited for it Neo TWEWY even if I did miss the initial announcement of it somehow. Been playing through the Final Remix to get refreshed. I dunno how confident I should be for the gameplay but I kind of figured if we ever got another one past the time of the 3DS it'd be completely different considering how devoted the original was the duel screens hardware gimmicks. I'm willing to give it a shot based on this trailer from last week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1wXak2Qfo4 Oxxidation posted:the 3D combat looks pretty lackluster compared to the puck-passing system of the original but the dialogue and characterization shown in the trailers has been pretty snappy. nomura is also one of the named producers and TWEWY is his baby, so we'll see Yeah, losing the upper screen and all that entailed is a noticeable impact on the rerelease. Now partners just kinda chime in when you do their particular touchscreen motion and you just wail on things together for bonus damage. It feels like it made Beat the overwhelming mechanically superior partner too, like I can get twice the work down for half the effort compared to Shiki.

I love N64 graphics because it's what I grew up with, so I didn't mind. I wish we had more early 3D games on Switch honestly, I'm less into 2D most of the time but I understand I'm in a small minority. 100 coins was tense but generally manageable for most of the courses. The worst one was Rainbow Road, because it took forever for me to get the walljump blue coins. Shifting Sand Land was wack because I got like 96 coins in the pyramid and I couldn't exit to go back to the rest of the level. Tiny Huge Island was another really tough one.

I'm tentatively hyped for new TWEWY, loved the OG version on the DS. Bought the Switch version on a whim but havent started yet, though I think the extra content is meant to link to the new game so might dive in. I gather it absolutely doesnt want to be played in docked mode though

I dunno... if you can use the Wii-esque pointer feature, you could totally simulate a stylus on the TV, Mario Galaxy style; swishing as fast as you can waggle, or pointing on a Noise and tapping one of the face buttons/triggers.

The best TWEWY partner was Joshua with his Jesus Beams I'm afraid to try any of the non-DS versions of the game because of how it handles the partners.

I found earlier in The Longing that if you just keep mashing on the dpad whilst playing the instrument you can make time absolutely fly by. I passed four hours in about 5 minutes. Don't know if it's intended but seems like a bug to me.

When I play it I honestly feel it controls like the entire game is on an ice level. My biggest gripe. It’s made worse by the walk speed increase. Also, any reference for the thread title. I came here because of it.
