going to try no mans sky pretty soon. wonder how it is as 2 players. apparantly there is no proper way to play coop
pearl cobalt
ye, the beginning is you waking up and trying to fix your ship so guessing it takes awhile until both players get them up and running and getting a jump drive. not sure if players even start on the same planet.
only thing I can guess if both players build up to get to the anomaly, which is part of player progression and universal to all players
placid otter
we tried once as 3 on the starting planet and was awful. the 3rd player had to travel incredibly far to find more of the req rescource and then back. dying on the way as cannot make it back in time.
we quit soon after because of how bad it was
pearl cobalt
not sure how long ago but should be better. usually the game detects things that you need and spawns some stuff closer. especially if there's things that are required like resources or plans for taking off.
and if there's a resource that you need, you can go to the catalog and track it

number 18 all time peak is pretty significant imo
slate thorn
And that's just Steam
I can imagine GoG having a huge Silksong playerbase as well as, well, GoG 🤝 indie games
dusty imp
oh yeah sure, but i think thats only a cod or gta level event
cause ive taken time off work even for much smaller indie and aaa games, i dont think its that rare for most terminally online gamers such as myself
i even took time off for a gungeon update one time
definitely quite a lot though, thats why they released it near a weekend
leth is definitely aware that its been almost ten years 
dusty imp
(sorry for rambling so much, ive just played one game for like 25 hours)
oak ruin
lmao im only like 10 hrs in
dusty imp
the conversation ive been seeing is so funny
everyone is saying "silksong is like more hollow knight, so the hollow knight fans are happy"
meanwhile the hk community has been "omg this is completely different to hollow knight this is amazing"
placid otter
lol what
oak ruin
yeah think theres more platforming now compared to hollow knight
which is fun for me i like traversing the maps more and wasting my time looking for places i can't access without upgrades 
lots of side quests too, great time sink
neon scroll
meanwhile the hk community has been "omg this is completely different to hollow ...
Feels like it's always like this tbh. To anyone not on that hype train it really is just more HK, probably some qol, fancier graphics etc, but you know
glass knot
its consuming my life whenever im not at work im playing this
its peak
really loving the movement specially
just really fun to move around
dusty imp
theres so much game in this game
its actually triple the size of hollow knight im floored
glass knot
i just got to ||citadel gate|| and feel like im only 20% through the game or something lol
dusty imp
in the trailer they said 200 enemies and 40 bosses but ||failed to mention the 300 npcs team cherry you cooked too damn hard wtf||
also "over 200" is a lowball if ive ever seen one
the vast majority of those enemies are like more complex than THK as well
in other news, apparently the simplified chinese translator trolled them and the text is completely unreadable
so mainland china fans are very upset
traditional chinese is ok though

reaching the ||room w the "dreamers" from this game i guess|| was the biggest "what the fuck" moment to me
im just out here like what do you mean
||as in hk that gets introduced super early on im just out here like "no way there's still that much game left man"||
dusty imp
for me it was getting to ||haunted bellhart||
just completely shattered my expectations going in
glass knot
yuuuup that too
dusty imp
if ||widow|| was the final boss this would still be an A tier game
dusty imp
just completely shattered my expectations going in
cause i know all the prerelease info on this game
and to get basically every scene from every trailer and screenshot within the first 5 hours of gameplay
stable stratus
is silksong deserved to be goty?
hmmm...
i dunno, this is basically the same hollow knight with few additions
dusty imp
hollow knight is demon souls and silksong is elden ring
oak ruin
love it when i just walk around doing so much side quests without progressing in the story this is so big
oak ruin
only problem i had so far with bosses is there's ||mostly 2 of them at once|| lol or ||mostly gauntlets||
stable stratus
there's some stuffs you can do and makes speedrunning fun with this new techs
dusty imp
only problem i had so far with bosses is there's ||mostly 2 of them at once|| lo...
||yeah i think there too many bosses with adds, and they were too trigger happy with double damage (but not that much, i appreciate that this game is still super challenging), but i really like the enemy gauntlets, HK1 only had a handful of those and its nice to have more here||
||another thing ive seen is that a lot of bosses dont have rewards, its just that progress is the reward, which makes sense but it still feels kinda bad||
oak ruin
yeah guess most players see the same little "problems"
oak ruin
my friend's gripe is that most ||environmental damage does 2 damage||, you're basically just 3 hits with 6 masks lol
neon scroll
For me GOTY is still very much EP33, but glad to see it very much seems like a good year for everyone with some spectacular releases in different genres like this
oak ruin
one thing surely i recommend is not playing silk song without playing the hollow knight
dusty imp
oh yeah
i think you could probably get around the game pretty good, but i dont think youd understand the story without at least understanding hornets character
neon scroll
So it's not a new to series player friendly experience I take it
dusty imp
tbf neither was hk1
oak ruin
yeah but difficulty wise i personally think they stepped it up more on this one
dusty imp
definitely
its the midgame bloodborne thing where if youre too cautious you end up taking way more chip damage than you would if you play aggressive
neon scroll
yeah but difficulty wise i personally think they stepped it up more on this one
I did see some people complaining about the pogo jumps, no idea what that's about
dusty imp
the main movement mechanic in this game is a divekick
think zero suit samus down air in smash
instead of a regular downslash
oak ruin
yeah which is fun but also a pain for platforming
dusty imp
mfw i tape a protractor to my monitor
neon scroll
lmao
dusty imp
hornet is basically a platform fighter character btw
she has a get-up-from-ledge attack and dash attack and everything
neon scroll
So you're saying she'll be in the next Smash game

so far my one notable complaint about silksong is ||the rewards from bosses and platforming gauntlets feel pretty bad pretty often, thats IF there's any reward lol||
im guessing thats a common one
havent seen ppl talking about the game
oh it was literally discussed here LOL
okay
dusty imp
funnily enough i agree with a lot of the criticism on silksong, im just too enamoured to care kek
that was a thing in hk too i guess lol
theres always clips of people being mad that the reward for path of pain is lore
||one thing everyone agrees on is that the rosaries are too scarce, so hopefully they can tweak those numbers a bit.||
||videogame economies are always pretty hard to balance, hk had the opposite problem where it was so easy to get geo that they had to introduce things that literally cost 1000s||

so far the two fights I've been frustrated with were ||this high halls gauntlet and last judge. LJ was because of the runback tho. the fight itself if fun||

Some Borderlands creators I watch seem to like the game as well
Infinitely better than BL3 basically
jovial wolf
It looks like more Borderlands with fun movement stuff
slate thorn
Which isn't really a high bar, but still :P
jovial wolf
Idk what exactly felt off in BL3 as far as the gameplay goes
The gunplay was pretty much the same
Maybe that was the problem with the game just trying to annoy you every 10 seconds
slate thorn
The issue with BL3 was basically that everything around the core gameplay was shit
Poor story, poor characters, shit endgame
jovial wolf
I just remember the annoying characters
Oh right, people complained that the replays were slogs
slate thorn
BL3 has the same issue as Wonderlands which is that there's basically no endgame content and no replayability
slate thorn
So basically a game you play through once with a bad story and bad characters

The flying enemy ai is extremely annoying sometimes yea
Spoiler for that section ||you do get a shortcut after the third gauntlet||

||i figured i'd get it but going through it has been frustrating bc of how long it takes for hornet to wake up then do the whole song etc etc||
would prob be less of a drag ||if i had a second pale oil upgrade but 🤷 cba doing the delivery task||
rustic peak
||so i guess you dont need to do every side quest in act 2 to reach act 3 then, interesting||
glass knot
||im assuming its just the wishboard ones?||
rustic peak
||fwiw the delivery wasnt nearly as bad as the hollow knight one since you can afford to take 2 hits and still make the timer, maybe even 3 with double jump||

is that the top of mayano's head i can tell

my front mayano went second
funny because when i acutally 3starred her i couldnt hit the stats i hit when she wasnt

Round 1 for me was, like, 38 losses outta 40, lmao

im trying to use end special week
for this next one
i could go late but the gamble is touuugh
plus the sparks i found is 5* straightaway spurt
neon scroll
I haven't looked at the next cup yet, which is it?
neon scroll
Oh, Mile?
ripe geode
yeah
so you dont need to bring a stam card
my first spe run i hit 1000 640 1000 360 350
neon scroll
That should be doable. Gotta finetune The Evil though
ripe geode
600 stam gets you the bonus which is like = to a green skill
if your gonna run a "debuffer" you just go a front runner to block seiun sky
so she doesnt proc
blockushin is the most popular but you can go falcon
but i think you and click are just gonna use falcon as an ace which is even better
the issue is if you run a front yourself its bad to bring a front runner
blocker
neon scroll
I mean, I might also use Sky, idk
ripe geode
think im going 1 late 1 end 1 front
oh if you have sky just go 3 front GG
unless you dont find that fun but watching sky proc and just winning is sooooooo funny
ripe geode
yeah you can forsure just run sky/falcon(i think you have falcon)
and uh bakushin is easier to make than pasa but if you got pasa 3
i think its pasa 3>bakushin 3
neon scroll
ripe geode
YUPPPPPPP
neon scroll
That was really just the first run, lmao
Haven't managed to pull that off again, actually
ripe geode
if you hit like groundwork/tail held high its fucking over
- green skills
this feels better than umadb
neon scroll
Just wish I had a Maru myself or a Suzuka
I wanna run full front, but i still don't have those two
ripe geode
you probbaly wanna get pasa because suzuka's ult is hard to do on this track i thin
this is kinda crazy
medium 5 is ass wait let me sort
ripe geode
just use this as a parent with ur sky
then just add mile sparks and pray
or front s
neon scroll
That bit can be soooooo annoying
ripe geode
yeah and with 3 borrows its hell
neon scroll
Me: Brings, like, 12 stars worth of mile sparks, goddesses decide to proc, idk, wit spark or whatever
ripe geode
but forsure when your looking for front parents this is the tpye ur gonna try to hunt
like for me i just borrow this maru my issue is not having a ryan 3
to use as a parent so i cant pass down lets pump some iron
i guess i could do anchors away but it might be too late on the track
mid accel is like the most needed thing for this run because if you can get to first before that corner and seiun cant proc
neon scroll
I never get that to proc outside of golshi tbh
neon scroll
Sky witha Suzula parent is hilarious though. Sky proc + Lead proc is just race over, always
Just hard to pull off against overtuned player umas
ripe geode
yupppppppp
just remember you arent trying to beat the whales you are trying to beat the dolphins
neon scroll
It be like that
I guess I'll start working on the ultimate Miler frontrunner team tomorrow. Gotta redo that Falcon, just with a Mile proc instead of a Turf proc

not a fan of the modern gear system if it's what I think it is
Don't they just mean the useless "out of simulation" stuff that absolutely no one has cared about since, like, AC2
pearl cobalt
gear systems that act closer to more modern AC games might be like this
armor with skills and stats. this one is a purchasable one with mtx credits
the out of animus/simulation is something that people shouldn't want as that was very forgettable
neon scroll
That game in particular people liked for the ship combat, really not for any other reasons
Which was pretty darn good
But whenever you had to go on land it was just the standard AC checklist

Their track record of optimizing games isn't great so far

minor bolt
they'll just slap some dlss ultra performance mode on that shit
neon scroll
Pretty much
slate thorn
If they even know how to do that :^)
I love gamefreak, they make some fun games, but how is it that you can make a game both look and run bad
minor bolt
comparing botw or xenoblade to pokemon and it's genuinely impressive how much they mess it up
jovial wolf
surely they learned some stuff on the ps5 game of theirs
neon scroll
Pokemon is basically their Madde, they take features and optimization out at some point to then add it later to pretend it's all new and better when it's actually a worse version of the previously present feature with worse optimization
slate thorn
What Nintendo needs to do is let Gamefreak design the whole game and then just let them borrow the Mario Odyssey team to create all graphics and visuals and do the optimizing
neon scroll
Just steal back from Palworld instead of filing preposterous patents
slate thorn
lol
slate thorn
But fr though, just let Gamefreak borrow the Mario team for one game and you'll probably have the best 3d pokemon game to exist
