How can anyone play this and revere it as a "high-tier" metroidvania? It's the most basic bitch gameplay elements of the genre padded over course of 15+ hours. None of the levels have anything interesting going on in their design and the world is laid out in such a way to make backtracking as long and tedious as possible. The sole redeeming quality is the boss fights, which is what the game should have been in its entirety.

Because, unlike you, they have taste and actually know what the fuck they're talking about.

they're autists that get off more to art design than gameplay. also why you should never take game recommendations from anyone here.
Luis Adams
Aye, a plebian would never understand the thrill of mashing R2 for ten minutes when you need to go buy something.
Charles Carter
Yeah, you're right, they should just stick teleporters everywhere so you can instantly go to any area you want.
Oliver Phillips
Just started my first playthrough of this. Seems fun. Just beat the cute wasp.
Jayden Russell
It goes downhill after Greenpath.
Brody Hill
Either let me teleport, or make the levels fun to navigate. Instead, I'm stuck with neither.
Blake Kelly
or you can make the act of traveling from point A to point B fun
Outside of challenge sections, the minute to minute platforming in Hollow Knight doesn't have a lot going for it
Jason Morris
So which boss filtered you?
Eli Foster
I said the boss fights were good, retard. Those were the only times I actually had to concentrate on what I was doing.
Blake Mitchell
I guess that one nice Hollow Knight thread that had actual discussion in it wasn't for free.
also, fuck all the retards to respond to these threads thinking they'll change the samefagging autist's mind instead of just bumping his shitty thread.
Chase Murphy
what would you constitute as "high-tier" metroidvania
Gavin Gray
I like it so you're wrong.

How many fucking days are you gonna post this exact same thread? You're not even changing up the image.
Thomas Turner
In an age where people have a world of information available to them, including reviews, gameplay videos, explanations of game mechanics and many other things, you have to be literally retarded if you can't tell whether or not you'll like a game before you buy it.
Logan Gonzalez
Oh look guys he posted it again, it's the downie who makes the same thread all the time, like nearly daily, shitposting about how bad Hollow Knight is. If he had any point before (and he doesn't really) it is completely ruined by his autistic obsession with making the same fucking
>DUHHHHH DAE HOLLOW KNIGHT BAD?!?!?!
thread incessantly. Debating him is pointless, as he only makes these threads and posts to keep garnering attention and to make good HK threads and discussion as annoying/difficult as possible.

This is basically op, an unironic retard who barely got past the first area, if at all, and still claims Hollow Knight to be a shit game, he is a barren vacuum of autism and retardation, and giving him any attention will only continue to feed his spergery.
TLDR: op is a faggot so ignore him
Evan Edwards
instead of making this thread even shittier you could have turned it into something positive and ignored the bait post.
Michael Green
Why don't you go ahead and name a few metroidvanias you think are better than bud.
Liam Lewis
What is your favorite track in the game?
I like this one:

Hollow Knight is unanimously acclaimed by critics. Yas Forums hailed it as a return to form for the genre and indie games in general. Videos show thrilling combat and absolutely gorgeous animations. You'd have to be an idiot to pass it by.
Yet not one person mentioned that the majority of the game is spent running through hallways.
Brayden Lopez
The only flaw I have with Hollow Knight is that your movement never really gets super good, and that kinda sucks in a Metroidvania.
Just look at Super Metroid, by the end when you're doing all the backtracking you have:
>Space Jump
>Screw Attack
>Speed Booster
To make backtracking not a pain in the ass.
Hollow Knight never really gets there.

>I want to have a thread about this game I like but I've been conned into believing that the only way to get attention for my thread is to shitpost the thing I want to talk about
Josiah Gutierrez
wow you just described every metroidvania ever congrats
Daniel Torres
Unfortunately that's not entirely wrong.
Irony has poisoned the Internet beyond repair, Yas Forums is especially guilty of this and very few people still like to express genuine joy or excitement about anything.
Justin White
that every open world side scroller, metroidvania or otherwise.
