Scarlet Hollow is almost certainly eclipsing STP when it's finished

plush plover
#

i also need to hop scarlet hollow

orchid spruce
#

It's not finished yet

plush plover
#

and also NSO, so much stuff to hop popseeker

orchid spruce
#

I don't like playing unfinished games

vivid belfry
#

Ciconia is also almost certainly eclipsing Higurashi because its first chapter alone is better than everything up to and including Tsumihoroboshi

cobalt pilot
#

What are we even saying anymore

cobalt pilot
cobalt pilot
#

I still need to finish STP but I’m gonna finish outer wilds first

plush plover

still osprey

it's definitely a metroidvania

When i first opened the game,.,.,.,. It was so,.,.,.,. Ass.... i could only cry

Lace didn't die?

silksong didn't ever make me cry and it didn't get quite as close as HK's attempt, but it's got some banger emotional beats

Crossing Blades is beyond peak

Like when Kratt got slapped, Hornet's cruelty brought me close to tears

main urchin

#

I'm glad Omori is no longer the record holder for the worst I've ever been gotten by a story in terms of leaving me a sobbing wreck

orchid spruce
#

I felt nothing in Silksong except Garmond & Zaza

still osprey
#

neither hk or ss have gotten close to making me cry, I don't really cry at games unfortunately

orchid spruce
#

I felt a bit of shiver

still osprey
#

What are the games that have made me cry, actually

orchid spruce
#

Did not cry

subtle lynx
vivid belfry
#

it should be called Higurashi: When I Cry

plush plover
#

red memory made me a bit emotional i think

vivid belfry
#

IT SHOULD BE CALLED UMINEKO: WHEN I CRY

graceful oyster
#

I was flat emotionless at Garmond and Zaza I had zero attachment to those pointless side npcs

vivid belfry
#

we don't talk about when I cried at Ciconia

NS didn't get me to tear up per se (listening to soundtracks after playing the game has though) but I did feel concern and intrigue and a lot of other cool emotions

orchid spruce

I also felt no particular strong emotions during 9S until the ending

I noticed that bellhead and I was like “huh, look, he follows me”

still osprey
#

maybe I should play blue prince I've heard really good things about it

main urchin

So I decided it’d be fun to bring him down by Shakra and take a photo of the funny enemy placement

#

…then Shakra did a taunt, teleported around and beat the shit outta that bellhead

my survival game instincts kick in

It is NOT a mvania

Who told you that

orchid spruce

Follow the yeller feller

Okay, whatever

I'll grab it, I just need to starve myself a couple days

i will NOT stand for strawberry yogurt slander

i hate silksong does that count

#

bad game
tc wasted 7 years on slop

orchid spruce
#

if i receive nine sols copy as a gift through steam, i'd sue for harrassment

verbal trench
#

uhhhmm. nine sols has too much stylistic art i think it should be more photorealistic

lavish apex
#

bad art bad combat

lavish apex
#

bad movement

orchid spruce
#

terrible final boss

lavish apex
#

bad music

plush plover
#

nine sols should have had ai music and been vibe coded

#

maybe then it would be a good game....

trim estuary
#

we’re getting somewhere

verbal trench
#

i don't know how to hate on nine sols because i haven't played it i'm sorry guys

#

i'm a bad hater

plush plover
#

when will you join a vc and watch me play

tight viper
#

Silksong sucks, it has too much peak and not enough slop

lavish apex

if claude generated silksong based on the 2019 trailer it would be a better game

It's NOT a skill issue! And if you say it is then you are a CHEATER

plush plover

because i also have to make a ||kanghui|| save soon :stupid_yi:

verbal trench
#

nine sols would be a good game if it was called jump man

it's not ragebait if it's true

tight viper
#

Nine Sols would be a good game if it was a good game

lavish apex
#

hollow knight is dogshit in every conceivable way and i only wear this pfp to lure people who like it to talk to me so i can shit on it and make them mad

verbal trench
#

is the protag of nine sols nonbinary they seem like a nonbinary or at least unidentified character

plush plover
#

grinding out the 9sols early game to fight tali + ||charged strike only|| ||kanghui|| to bully a friend
might be my best idea yet

wow. so game has gender? WOOOOOOKE

Isn't the protagonist explicitly masc?

NINE SOLS IS MAGA

plush plover

is nine sols on the woke games detector

lavish apex

i only play good games like constance

i love when silksong discussion gets flooded with something that has absolutely nothing related to hollow knight in anyway shape or form.

lavish apex

and sonic lost world

orchid spruce

constance is so good, it literally reshapes how i experience media

There's so much you (probably) don't know

lavish apex
rocky jolt
orchid spruce
#

I already know about some kind of ||karma|| system

lavish apex
#

it doesn't really fit with the pace of the rest of the fight

orchid spruce
#

yues, it's a bad move

#

hurts the flow a lot

graceful oyster
orchid spruce
#

also the rune rage. they both are there to aura farm i guess

lavish apex
#

i don't think it's that bad necessarily but it's not as fun as the others

verbal trench
#

should i sleep or watch youtube

trim estuary
orchid spruce
#

those two moves hurt pv flow

verbal trench

but. my scheduled dopamine receptor frying

plush plover

should be replaced with more active/connected moves

verbal trench

:3

plush plover
#

watch all of them back to back its like a movie

#

:stupid_yi:

orchid spruce
#

like i honestly think i overrate pure vessel a little

lavish apex
#

i think having 2 slower moves is fine and it doesn't really hurt the fight for me but it's fair to not like them as much

verbal trench
#

youve basically suggested i watch a shorts compilation

orchid spruce
#

but i'll keep them there

plush plover
#

but youre supporting meeeee which is so important

orchid spruce
plush plover

try not to shit yourself while watching these hollow knight reels

⁉️

graceful oyster
lavish apex
#

i mean you think ||eviterno|| BLASPHEMOUS 2 is better i think we have a pretty big gap in tastes there

orchid spruce
#

i only fought evit once

graceful oyster
#

That'll probably be more obvious as I continue along the eggrot

orchid spruce
#

so i'm still in honeymoon phase

#

also, i parried the fight a lot, which you didn't, so our experiences differed

verbal trench
#

is that a term people use for them

orchid spruce
#

stupid_yi yeah to avoid spoilers

verbal trench
#

oops

plush plover
#

egg!!!!!! grubhappy

verbal trench
#

sorry i don't play nine sols but i should

lavish apex
#

if parrying is the response to everything in that fight i don't expect to like it more

plush plover
#

you should!

twin summit
verbal trench
#

that fight better be an actual masterpiece though because all i hear is that it's good

#

all i hear is that it's the best fight ever made

orchid spruce
#

i mean you see the biggest parry hater in the world put it as his second favourite boss @ illusion

verbal trench
#

it's like hearing people talk about outer wilds while not having played it

plush plover
#

lmfao

orchid spruce
#

but honestly keep your expectations modest

verbal trench
#

this better be an outer wilds situation and it's actually peak

#

or i will fight all of you

plush plover
#

dont take whatever i say in the other server into TOO much consideration

orchid spruce
#

sorry we lied, nine sols is mid

verbal trench
#

Ohhhh

lavish apex
plush plover
#

nine sols is mid and we're all hopping on better games like goat simulator

graceful oyster
#

It's good

lavish apex
#

i beat the boss in afterimage that illusion really likes and i wasn't all that impressed

graceful oyster
#

Or uh, er, I mean, it's pretty mid so like, it's nothing too special

lavish apex
#

although he did tell me to keep my expectations low

#

so probably my fault

plush plover
#

my friend who i got into nine sols about a week ago is finally getting to egg soon and im very excited grubhappy

graceful oyster
#

I have to keep nudging my friends along until jq because that's where the game gets really interesting

plush plover
#

i have been glazing this game so hard im glad it has been paying off

orchid spruce
#

it captured me from start to finish

plush plover
#

i mean it SUCKS sorry

orchid spruce
#

i didn't put it down

#

same for MIO

graceful oyster
lavish apex
#

like greenpath or dash?

graceful oyster
#

No not in the same way

plush plover
#

it took me a tiny bit for it to properly click, i think around ||meeting goumang|| is when i finally started to appreciate it and then ||warehouse|| really sold me on it

#

then it just kept getting better and better popseeker

graceful oyster
#

It's like uh, Hollow Knight gets super interesting after the first time you visit like, ancient basin

#

Something around there

queen acorn
#

it gets good at mantis villiage

graceful oyster
#

That's when it opens up the most but that's not the tipping point I'm talking about

plush plover
#

city made me appreciate it but i think dream nail + resting grounds truly sold me on it

graceful oyster
#

Ah yes, that's it

#

Dreamnail and resting grounds

plush plover
#

but imo hk is weird because it has a lot of really really good moments that FEEL like a tipping point but it almost regresses in a sense?

#

like i didnt like crystal peaks that much so visiting city > sanctum and then peaks was odd

#

and then i did basin into waterways

#

i always liked basin, never liked waterways that much either

orchid spruce
#

waterway is an area that exists

graceful oyster
#

Waterways is just another gross region

orchid spruce
#

in the hitgame Hollow Knight

graceful oyster
#

Idk why every game needs to have a gross region

plush plover
#

it is definitely the area of all time

odd hull
graceful oyster
#

Does anyone actually like the gross regions

lavish apex
#

crystal peak is probably my favorite area honestly

plush plover
#

bilewater good

odd hull

Bilewater would be great if it wasn't green

orchid spruce

ducts is also ok, i do like it more than waterways

wtf wtf wtf

slander green again and youre becoming my new lab assistant grubnote

bilewater is great, i hate ducts with a burning passion

Green is genuinely the worst color

I hate green people

like i have no idea where this plays in nier but sounds cool. nier spoilers i would think?

lavish apex
#

i fucking knew it

plush plover
#

it was also in the original showcase for the mod thats the only reason why i know it lmao

plush plover
#

maybe i should hop grubnote

slim burrow
lavish apex
#

there's also fun movement though

plush plover
#

is the story yknow, good in your opinion

lavish apex
#

yes quite for both games

plush plover
#

because a good story IS a good story to me at the end of the day ngl

#

alright grubnote

lavish apex
#

reason why automata is in my top 10 games and replicant in my top 20

#

also the music is consistently fantastic

#

not all on the same tier as that specific track but it's all good

plush plover
#

yeah this is the only song ive heard but its such a banger lol

#

id be interested i think, just gotta get through the backlog of everything else ive got first lmao which is like 20 or so atm and the pile is still growing bigger

#

my friend recommended the ENTIRE xeno metaseries so

lavish apex
#

that's also a good one

#

i've only played the blade games but i like all of them

#

adore two of them

plush plover
#

its another instance of ive heard 1 or 2 songs but they are bangers and its gotten me vaguely interested in more

lavish apex
#

@light swan can vouch

plush plover
#

that tends to be how i get attached to games before playing them lmao, it happened with ultrakill too

lavish apex
#

yeah same

#

a lot of the time at least

#

the soundtracks are why i got into nier in the first place

cerulean sable

The Good Doctor would not survibe more than 5 mins in Pharloom

lavish apex
#

hornet could do it probably

#

also like all of gms's knives would probably hurt

slow imp
#

anybody know when sea of sorrows comes out this year?

still osprey
#

Tomorrow

opaque sigil
#

Or at least be unable to inflict much real harm

lavish apex
#

if gms could aim the knives probably just kill you honestly

#

but she can't

opaque sigil
#

They’re pretty small and slow

delicate temple
#

Just got a ton of achievements out the way

opaque sigil
#

You could just like

#

Hold up a hand and stop em

lavish apex
#

that hand would get fucked up bad

opaque sigil
#

Nah

delicate temple
#

Now for the hard shit like fighting gms while cursed and somehow getting 100% in 30 hours or less

#

Don’t know how that’s possible

slow imp
lavish apex
#

i mean also you could just like grab her and squeeze her to death probably

opaque sigil
#

They’re like little pins it might hurt but it would probably not cause serious injury and you could bat them away

lavish apex
#

but the stabbies are a threat

#

i mean how big do you think these critters would actually be theoretically

slow imp
#

releasing silksong at the start of september was lowk a mistake :|

coarse berry
#

imagine a random bird in an apron throwing dirty water at you and now you have parasites

lavish apex
#

i'm guessing they'd be like butter knife size

coarse berry
#

scarrier than gms

opaque sigil
#

They’re probably a good deal smaller than butter knives

lavish apex
#

yeah but gms is like Big

#

by hk standards
probably the largest living creature we see in the games

opaque sigil
lavish apex
#

aside from like garpedes maybe

opaque sigil
lavish apex
#

oh yeah he exists nvm

still osprey
#

What about Unm

#

Pretty sure she's bigger than gms too

lavish apex
#

she's also bigger than gms yeah

opaque sigil
#

Also bigger than grand mother fraud but not as big as bardoon

lavish apex
#

the blades are about 3 hornets long including the handle things

opaque sigil
#

So they’re pretty small

graceful oyster
opaque sigil
#

Doubt they’re razor sharp either after just sitting there for however long

lavish apex
#

i just realized they look like they're half of a pair of scissors

opaque sigil
#

What’s GMS doing when the oven mitts come out

lavish apex
#

would it be reasonable to use that as a scale estimation?

opaque sigil
#

Scissors are all over the place

lavish apex
#

if so i think that makes gms like baby size

opaque sigil
#

There are some tiny ass sewing scissors

#

bro scugging out rn

light swan
#

best part of my life illusion

lavish apex
#

when the blade is xeno

#

have you played any of gears or saga?

light swan
#

that being said i’ve only played the blades

plush plover
lavish apex
#

ok nvm

light swan
#

so no gears or saga

plush plover
#

oh :stupid_yi:

light swan
graceful oyster
light swan
#

i think if you were to play all of them def play saga before blade

lavish apex
#

for blade i'd say play 1 then 2 then 3 then x or x before the numbered ones

opaque sigil
#

If you’re gonna do x at all doing it first probably makes the most sense

light swan
#

i’d say x123 is the best since x is the most different one so playing it first means you don’t have the expectations of 123 behind you

lavish apex
#

not sure how emulatable they are but they're all only on switch

opaque sigil
#

They’re emulatable

lavish apex
#

rn and probably forever because nintendo doesn't do cross platform releases

light swan
#

that being said, if you’re only planning on checking the series out before sticking i’d say do 3 firsy

#

if you know you’ll play all, def start with 1

opaque sigil
#

Emulating 2 might actually be a marginally better experience since you can probably get around the stupid ass mercenary mission times

graceful oyster

f minor triads 😋

plush plover
#

ty guys grublove

strong pebble
#

what about fminor triads

lavish apex
#

do Not play 2 first

strong pebble
#

is it like 7 * 7

light swan
#

f minor triads are 😋

strong pebble

#

i guess so?

#

Chattersssss
Do I go for red quill or purple quill

light swan
#

it wasn’t too bad

opaque sigil
light swan
#

depends on what you’re expecting

lavish apex
#

i think 1 is like an equally good or better trial game than 3 but i might be biased

opaque sigil
#

2 > 1 is also kind of interesting and works

light swan
#

1 and 3 are good starters but

#

yea thats it there’s nothing else to say

lavish apex
#

plenty of people start with 2 and end up liking the series but it has like
by far the most things that will repel people who don't already have some affinity for the franchise

opaque sigil
#

The biggest reason to start with 1 is that its combat system is the worst feelspkman

toxic vigil
#

Hello!

opaque sigil
#

So it’s just uphill from there

light swan
#

1 has that essence to it

opaque sigil
#

1 has a gimmick I like but otherwise its just such a slog

lavish apex
light swan
#

everyone knows how i feel about 3 i dont need to speak more on it

#

why does monolith have to make such good games

opaque sigil
#

I really like 2’s late game combat maybe as much as 3’s but 3’s is better throughout

zealous nimbus
#

Do I hate myself enough to get to act 3 without having a quill

light swan
#

in my personal opinion, the only time 2 has better combat than 3 is in the first 5 hours

#

because of stutterstepping

lavish apex
#

2 has the best chain attacks

opaque sigil
#

Eeeeh

light swan
#

ehhhh

opaque sigil
#

3 chain attacks are also really good

lavish apex
#

combos exist and are a very fun mechanic

opaque sigil
#

I can’t really pick between them

light swan
#

the thing is that 2 chain attacks are built up within regular combat

opaque sigil
#

The element combos are super fun

lavish apex
#

yes which is peak

light swan
#

while 3 chain attacks are entirely self contained

lavish apex
#

instead of get guage press button win the fight

#

you have to engage with other mechanics

opaque sigil
light swan
#

and i personally enjoy the mechanics inside 3 chain attacks much more

lavish apex
#

also they don't drown out the music in every fight

lavish apex
#

but that's not a combat mechanic it's just bad presentation

light swan
#

i wish 3 chain attacks were built up during the fight but i can live wirhout it

#

not ideal but meh

#

i also lovr earlygame chain attacks in 3

lavish apex
#

mythra dse spam will always be peak

opaque sigil
light swan
#

and also lategame optimized chain attacks are super fun too

#

the chain attack itself in 2 is kinda boring

lavish apex
#

they can be ig

light swan
#

not bad but not close to 3

lavish apex
#

idk
i don't really like chain attacks in 3
maybe i'm weird

opaque sigil
#

You are

light swan
#

i dont think that’s weird i just personally disagree

#

like it has its flaws for sure but i don’t think that ruins it at all

#

considering the strengths it has

#

especially when you start incorporating chain attacks into team building

#

that was always one of my favorite parts of team building

#

it misses the ties ro regular combat and it’s still really damn op but i still enjoy it

lavish apex
#

i also don't like that debuffs are useless and you need a specific class or accessory to inflict break and they finally added switching but there are 6 party members but the one you're controlling doesn't seem to get any kind of buff and the ai is good enough that it doesn't feel worth micromanaging

#

other than that the combat in 3 is great

opaque sigil
#

I mean if the ai wasn’t competent the combat system would be pure ass

light swan
#

ogre breakers only really matters at the highest level

lavish apex
#

i do like quick move and fusion arts

light swan
#

before that who you have as a breaker never felt too impactful

lavish apex
#

and the building

light swan
#

and i always felt like micromanaging was important the better i got

lavish apex
#

those are the 3 combat things i like a lot

light swan
#

especially when it comes to controlling healers

#

or defenders or attackers or anything really

opaque sigil
light swan
#

there’s always things the player can do that ai cant

lavish apex
light swan
#

such as arts cancelling into arts

graceful oyster
light swan
#

such as timing evasion arts

lavish apex
#

perhaps based on class

light swan
#

good fields placement

rough anvil
opaque sigil
lavish apex
#

more aggro gen and less damage on tanks

rough anvil
lavish apex
#

faster revives on healers

light swan
#

timing breaks and combos based on the enemy

lavish apex
#

more damage on attackers

light swan
#

also, positioning is something the ai kinda lacks

lavish apex
#

things like that to make a mechanic i wanted for years prior actually feel worth engaging with

reef grove
#

why are there no nail turnaround cancels in silksong

rough anvil
light swan
#

stuff like dodging aoe attacks, positioning defenders away from attackers

opaque sigil
#

Art canceling makes attackers do way more damage
Player controlled healers can time heals and prioritize good revive targets
Player controlled tanks can more reactively grab aggro from things that aggro other chars

All of those things are already in the game

light swan
#

obviously healers pocketing eachorher

light swan
opaque sigil
#

Yeah

light swan
#

i can name so many more uses to switching

#

also, we’re completely ignoring speedkills here

#

those make the most use of switching by far

lavish apex
#

idk what xc3 speedkills look like

light swan
opaque sigil
#

Makes sense

#

Churn through all your arts quickly

light swan
#

also players control fusion arts much better too

lavish apex
#

literally how the fuck

lavish apex
light swan
#

im exaggerating it’s more like 6

#

over or under 6

#

there’s also stuff like controlling when A does a vision

lavish apex
#

does the ai just not cancel

light swan
#

controlling when your glittering melody users use glittering melody

light swan
lavish apex
#

that is a thing i used

light swan
#

in general postgame combat uses switching less

#

since managing art rotations or infinite evasion absolutely requires player control

#

also combos are smth that heavily incentivizes player control in general

#

swapping to land a smash immediately for example

#

obviously good usage of fusion arts helps get to lvl3ouroboros faster which is something i used a lot

#

because ouroboros is underrated and awesome

lavish apex
#

i'll try to reevaluate this on my replay because these are good points

opaque sigil
lavish apex
#

interlinks are fun

#

I might love snitch peak more than circlet

tight viper
#

Snitch Pick and Pollip Pouch are like Megamind and Metroman, where the former is labeled a useless thing despite being capable of so much more, and the latter is completely and utterly washed because it doesn’t care about doing its job, it just wants to make shit purple

lavish apex
#

i feel like

#

you get more damage out of pollip pouch for like

#

most of the game

strange knot
#

Yeah, until you get clawline pollip pouch deals more dmg

lavish apex
#

i mean for one snitch pick doesn't exist until you get cloak

strange knot
#

Nuh uh

#

You can get snitch peak without cloak and faydown

lavish apex
#

yuh huh tool bounces don't exist anymore

#

Is snitch pick a sleeper pick

light swan
#

i lovr snitch pick this isnt biased at all

lavish apex
#

it just depends on whether you use red tools or clawline more often

light swan
strange knot
#

And I don’t think you could do pimp pogo to get to snitch peak

lavish apex
#

unless you're doing witch stuff

light swan
#

i remember discovering the peakness of senabouros

lavish apex
#

because obviously that uses clawline constantly

light swan
#

blowdown after blowdown after blowdown

#

or taioboros which nukes everytbing

#

the op lvl3 break on noahboros

#

gosh i love ouroboros it’s so cool

Tbh i canr reallt complain about sk bosses im stuck on traitor lord and hes my least favorite thing in all of gaming

the only good offensive blue/yellow tool in the entire game outside of like egg or bracelet in speedkills or nohits is filament

lavish apex
#

ok yeah probably i just consistently forget circlet exists

light swan
#

oh im late to the party

strange knot
#

Lwk circlet isn’t good without faydown at all

#

Genuinely useless at least for me

light swan
#

clawline is just really underrated

i do not like trying to attack with my movement

called the ||ifree endings|| specifically

i like how i beat a "true ending" and i don't know what the main antagonist is
