Right

elder nimbus
#

ohh shit is that your first time there? thought you done already before for some reason

inland fern
#

i had fun playing it

#

i wish they made its place more apparent

brave blaze
elder nimbus
#

ohhh makes sense

brave blaze
elder nimbus
#

Wait there arent checkponts or something

#

No but if you take damage do you go back to the start

elder nimbus
#

no

latent mulch
#

ah

elder nimbus
#

you spawn back at the soul totem

#

the one you just got to

latent mulch
#

And are the totems far away from each other?

tired current
#

Relatively

elder nimbus
#

not toooo far

#

but it is some work to get there

tired current
#

There’s one for each segment

brave blaze
latent mulch
#

Darn

brave blaze
#

its really not that bad

tired current
#

PoP is very fun

#

Especially in a randomizer

elder nimbus
#

yeah just not knowing whats ahead is what makes it hard

brave blaze
#

path of pain for the first time through is all about taking time and learning

elder nimbus
#

after you done it once it's lightwork

brave blaze
#

like the first drop in the first room is uh

#

yeah that sucks for the first time

elder nimbus
#

after you've done path of pain and want another platforming challenge, you can get the pale court mod and try this other platforming thing which i call "abyss of trauma" and its only called that because i brought long nail into a claustrophobic platforming space full of spikes :)

#

actually makes you use the downwards shade cloaks

Unbreakable charms

ashen wadi

only one is worth getting and you don't really need them for anything

scenic frost
#

Heart and strength are both good

ashen wadi
#

heart is mediocre, strength is good but fragile is more than enough

scenic frost
#

For future playthroughs tho I'd just not upgrade them because I'd only be using them during godhome

#

I never used them for normal gameplay

is there an actual reason you aren't using spells

scenic frost

brave blaze

im using spells

#

im using ddark

scenic frost
#

Ddark gives i frames so reasonable

#

My current loadout for travelling hallownest is compass, geo collection (i forgot what it was called), shaman stone, soul eater, and sprintmaster

signal blaze
#

soul eater is really bad if you aren't overcharming

scenic frost
#

Why

signal blaze
#

it's 4 notches lol

ashen wadi
#

absurd cost

scenic frost
#

So

brave blaze
#

im using hiveblood and deep focus in parkours

scenic frost
#

Would I be better off using soul catcher

signal blaze
#

maybe not really bad but i wouldn't really advise using it

scenic frost
#

Only 2 notches! :0

signal blaze
#

i would just say use spell twister

ashen wadi
#

I mean if there's nothing else you want then sure use soul eater it's whatever

signal blaze
#

yeah it's fine it just costs a lot

brave blaze
ashen wadi
#

soul eater isn't an active detriment other than its cost and it provides a consistent and meaningful benefit which makes it better than plenty of other charms

Well you gotta think where and when to move and also when to attack with no eyes, you just sdash with hu

normal phoenix
#

it's funny how the endings are easy easy medium-easy impossible

normal phoenix
scenic frost
#

Nah

midnight oasis
#

No eyes also can't just phase out of the arena leaving you to do nothing for a couple seconds

burnt heath
#

Yeah you can always hit her

#

Mf hu dissapears for an hour and a half just to come bsck and do it again

ashen wadi
#

except she doesn't always indicate where she is so you have to wander around until you stumble across her

burnt heath
#

Its just plain boring and nto fun

i should prob tag sis of battle

You are supposed to like, move

burnt heath
# ashen wadi or wait for her attacks to go by

Well you could play like that, or you can chase her and see where she goes, but hu leaves you no option, you will hit him once, he will dissapear, and youll repeat the cycle all over again

brave blaze

why i cant shade cloak pure vessel

scenic frost
ashen wadi

Its just so boring not even subway surfer gameplay can save him

midnight oasis

And less spikes making chasing her easier

ashen wadi
#

if you're moving left and right you can get sniped out of nowhere by projectiles

scenic frost
#

Sounds like a skill issue

midnight oasis
burnt heath
#

Thats why i said you actually need to think about what youre doing and not just move left and right

ashen wadi
#

because you can't see her

burnt heath
#

Middle??????

ashen wadi
#

yes so you have to sit and wait

#

in the middle

scenic frost
#

Stand in the middle and you'll see her lmao

burnt heath
#

Or just move vertically, through the middle

scenic frost
#

Just get good at the game and move

burnt heath
#

Easier with wings but still very much possible with claw and the platforms

ashen wadi
#

just gonna chalk it up to a reading problem ig

burnt heath
#

Like at least she gives you an option

ashen wadi
#

because I'm not being that ambiguous and people don't seem to understand what I'm sayinng

scenic frost
#

Nah it's just a skill issue

burnt heath
#

You sit and do nothing in hus fight

ashen wadi
gaunt geyser

You dont have that liberty in hu

midnight oasis
ashen wadi
#

p5 is actually pretty weird in terms of balance and how it is integrated mechanically, it's not an issue of difficulty

burnt heath
#

Yeah pretty subjective

scenic frost
ashen wadi
#

arguably not the worst thing but incoherent implication of a mechanic

scenic frost
#

It's still subjective

midnight oasis
#

What's enjoyable is inherently subjective

scenic frost
#

Yup

ashen wadi
#

As a late game for a metroidvania it's objectively bad

midnight oasis
#

Nuh uh

ashen wadi
#

people can still enjoy it

midnight oasis
#

Tammo who is forcing you to do all these bad takes today

ashen wadi
#

but it doesn't do the gameplay loop at all

ashen wadi
#

do you not understand the gameplay loop?

#

I suppose you don't

scenic frost
#

I understand it fine

midnight oasis
#

Exploring and fighting? Games can branch out to other stuff

ashen wadi
#

or you didn't understand it

scenic frost
ashen wadi
#

read again

scenic frost
#

What is good and what is bad is also subjective

ashen wadi
#

"As a late game for a metroidvania"

scenic frost
#

And that is once again subjective

ashen wadi
#

it's nonfunctional as a late game because it completely eschews the main gameplay

scenic frost
#

I've read your message plenty

ashen wadi
#

then you didn't understand it

scenic frost
#

No I perfectly understand your point

mental gale
scenic frost
#

It's not a bad point

ashen wadi
#

the only conceivable defense is conceptualizing it as a post game and not as a main component of progression

scenic frost
#

But it's still subjective

ashen wadi
mental gale
scenic frost
#

Thank you @mental gale

ashen wadi
#

and that godhome doesn't sustain it is also not subjective

mental gale
scenic frost
#

But saying that it's bad is subjective

midnight dirge
midnight oasis
burnt heath
#

@mental gale stop that

scenic frost
ashen wadi
scenic frost
#

Whether ya like it or not

ashen wadi
mental gale
ashen wadi

you claim to understand my point but your responses are consistently way off the mark

midnight oasis

#

Oh no hes angry who will save me now

ashen wadi
midnight oasis
#

Well I mean not really, metroidvanias love borrowing stuff from other games

ashen wadi
scenic frost
burnt heath
#

Isnt it literally meant to be post game

scenic frost
#

Yes it quite literally is

ashen wadi
midnight oasis
midnight dirge
ashen wadi
ashen wadi
midnight dirge
burnt heath
#

Well it does require beating every boss in the game and getting voideheart

midnight dirge
#

And you dont HAVE to get it to finish the game

burnt heath
#

Its also mostly done after finishing 112 of the game

midnight oasis
midnight dirge
#

So it is indeed post game

scenic frost
#

Yes, it breaking the core gameplay loop of hollow knight is OBJECTIVE. But whether that's bad or not is SUBJECTIVE

ashen wadi
midnight dirge
midnight oasis
midnight dirge
#

They didnt have to add:lore, new bosses and a new ending

burnt heath
#

Is it though?

scenic frost
midnight dirge
#

They did their best to integrate it into the game without it feeling forced

burnt heath
#

Is it though

scenic frost
#

Saying anything is bad is inherently subjective by definition because it's an opinion.

ashen wadi
#

being severely inconsistent with the gameplay loop is bad integration into the game that's not really subjective

midnight dirge
ashen wadi
#

you're getting too hung up on one specific use of the word "bad," just read

scenic frost
ashen wadi
#

words mean different things in different contexts

scenic frost
midnight oasis
ashen wadi
#

that's not subjective

#

people can still like it even if it's bad under those specific parameters

midnight dirge
#

It is, actually

ashen wadi
#

it can still be good even if it's bad under those specific parameters

scenic frost
#

That is 100% subjective

ashen wadi
#

the best apple in the world is a shitty orange

midnight dirge
#

That is like saying caramel ice cream is objectively bad

ashen wadi
#

this really isn't that complicated

scenic frost
#

That's like saying a burger is objectively bad as a combination of ingredients just because the toppings don't fully mix well.

midnight dirge
#

Saying that anything is either bad or good is entirely subjective wether you like it or not

#

I misspelled whether didnt I

midnight oasis
scenic frost
#

Saying that something is bad or good, in ANY context, under any parameters, is by definition subjective

ashen wadi

ashen wadi
#

if you don't understand what I'm saying that's a you problem

scenic frost
#

You can say that all you want. I can say the exact same thing about you and it would be just as wrong.

#

If you don't understand what we're saying that's a you problem

ashen wadi
scenic frost
#

See?

scenic frost
ashen wadi
#

I'm not making a blanket quality judgement I'm saying that it's ill suited to a specific framework

midnight dirge
scenic frost
#

Yes I am

midnight dirge
#

Yes he is

brave blaze
#

i hate pro vessel

ashen wadi
#

are you going to argue that all frameworks are subjective and nothing is ever better suited to anything than anything else?

#

because that's patently absurd

scenic frost
#

Yup

ashen wadi
#

then you don't believe in any objective reality

#

so you're not worth talking to

I believe that the earth is round is an objective fact

ashen wadi
#

no you don't

scenic frost
#

Because it is

midnight dirge
#

You are sounding very egotistical right now

ashen wadi
#

you don't believe it's objectively a better model than the flat earth model

scenic frost
#

Whether something fits into a certain framework is purely based on perception

scenic frost
#

I believe that

ashen wadi
brave blaze
#

pro vessel is so hard bro

scenic frost
#

Not really

ashen wadi
#

yes really

scenic frost
#

Tell me how

ashen wadi
#

conceptualizing the earth is flat is not objectively worse than conceptualizing it as round if you believe all frameworks are subjective and something cannot ever be better suited for anything than anything else

#

all frameworks are subjective and nothing is ever better suited to anything than anything else

#

you said you agree with that

brave blaze
#

pro vessel is not hard but its so hard bro

ashen wadi
#

you're arguing that nothing can be objectively better to anything else

#

so the earth being round can't be an objectively better model

scenic frost
#

The flat earth model is objectively disproven using the objective fact of the earth being round. Whether p5 fits within the endgame of a metroidvania is subjective because nothing about that can be proven with facts. You say that it breaking the gameplay loop is a fact, which it is, but that doesn't prove your statement in any way, because that can be subjectively seen as either bad or good, or just fine.

ashen wadi
#

So you concede that things can be better if they are more well suited to criteria (eg a good model being predictive)

scenic frost
#

The perception of whether or not breaking the gameplay loop justifies it as a bad metroidvania endgame makes it subjective

scenic frost
ashen wadi
#

a good metroidvania game stage is one that sustains and promotes the core gameplay of a metroidvania

scenic frost
ashen wadi
#

not really

#

not moreso than saying a good model is one that is predictive and consistent with observation

#

to say that something is a bad game stage in a metroidvania means that it doesn't promote salient aspects of the game

scenic frost
#

There's no end all, be all dictum that "yes, a metroidvania stage must promote the core gameplay"

#

That definition is subjective

ashen wadi
#

To function as a metroidvania it does

#

p5 makes hollow knight less of a metroidvania when you're doing it

scenic frost
#

Yes, whether or not a game is a metroidvania is objective, but whether a stage of the game is considered fitting for that genre is not.

midnight dirge
scenic frost
#

True

ashen wadi
#

it's not fitting if it doesn't have the gameplay markers of the genre

#

genre swaps in fiction are fine, they can happen.

scenic frost
ashen wadi
#

but it is a swap

midnight dirge
#

The gameplay markers that are subjective

ashen wadi
scenic frost
#

Whether its fitting or not is subjective

Please shut up about godhome ffs

toxic nova

only part of the game that's mid

jovial hull
#

Bunch of OW players arguing about why godhome doesn’t fit

ashen wadi
jovial hull
#

Literally the entire game barely fits together, it’s a community funded game made in 2 years by a small team

#

It’s genuinely shocking that it’s as good as it is

scenic frost
jovial hull
midnight oasis
#

I'd argue it's map design, lore, and combat fit together very elegantly

thin hatch
scenic frost

It looks and plays (normal gameplay, not glitch hunting) like a game made in 4 years, not 2!

ashen wadi

It looks like a game made in 4, then you accidentally get turnaround airwalk while walking

ashen wadi

Wow, the things that we are added after the base game was released and developed don’t feel 100% in place?

If you’re really that angered by the existence of godhome, go play on 1315

I can provide you with the manifest id for 1315 if you wanna go play that patch. 1221 is more fun tho

ashen wadi
#

I'm not angered by its existence I just don't think it does a good job of carrying on the gameplay loop from the game and its implementation is disjointed

Godhome is cool

jovial hull
#

True

ashen wadi
#

overall I think godhome is pretty good, p1 through p4 are fun, and the new bosses are great (other than winged nosk which is a letdown), and HoG is a great qol feature

midnight oasis
jovial hull
#

Godhome is extremely useful for TASes and modded bosses aswell

ashen wadi

p5 has some issues with redundancy in bosses and just generally being a slog to get through

P5 never felt like a slog to me

ashen wadi
#

what I was referring to is more things like both bosses and their variants being represented which doesn't relaly serve any purpose other than tacking on superfluous time sinks into every run

#

I really liked it and I took me around 5 attempts

scenic frost
#

Lol I love going back to funny discord speak rather than full blown paragraphs

ashen wadi
#

they could've cut out base versions of lk, fc, st, even wd

full names please

and maybe lost some minor bosses like soul warrior and vfk

p5 has a lot of filler that doesn't really serve any point, and it's not the hard bosses that are the problem it's the piss easy ones

I did like 2-3 runs of p5 before I got bored and tried it again when I was 100% sure I'd win

p5 should take like ~10 minutes rather than ~30 imo

ashen wadi

30? feelspkman

midnight oasis

but that they were willing to remove the base forms (not any specific reason for why) is my point

#

and since they were already making some compromises they could've made some more along similar lines
