I think it’s a great game for veterans who like challenges like myself.

But I have to call out team Cherry for their interviews: They said they wanted anyone to be able to pick up this as their first Hollow Knight game and just start playing… Sorry, but, bullshit. the difficulty ramp is too quick, double damage comes out to early and the boss fights get more challenging quickly. See the weaver for instance, a fight I’d place around the difficulty of Grimm, but there’s double damage and you probably only have 5 health.

Also they mentioned part of the game’s difficulty was due to Hornet’s competence and utility… Ghost is canonically a better fighter than Hornet, so by that logic they should have made the game easier (yes I’m being silly about this part).

Hollow knight had a custom fast travel option in late game. You could place a dreamgate almost anywhere and just zwoop to it.

Wait, what about patch 8?

You’re joking but I feel like that would satisfy EVERYONE’s fantasies

Any new story line?

I enjoy a lot of games but don’t follow IGN or similar outlets. I did pay attention to e3 when it happened but that’s no longer a thing. My news comes mostly from steam store/Lemmy gaming communities/memes Meaning I’ve never hear of it either until I saw Dunkey’s satire video.

Wasn’t wrath of cortex crash 4?

I remember getting that on the ps2 but every no loading screen took 40 seconds

Elden ring, Witcher 3, hollow knight

Honorable mentions: Sekiro, Hades, Earlier versions of Wow. DotA 2 before ranked was a thing.

I go hollow, probably

I bought the game early access a couple years ago. The reason they got so few things wrong is they actually listened to community feedback from the early access. They made a lot of minor changes on things (from what I saw most of that was to make the game feel more like DND)

And still only 0.1% of players have ‘Descent from Avernus’

Are you even playing the game?
