While Hollow Knight does nothing for me, I'm excited for all of those who love it. I haven't seen this much hype for a video game since No Man's Sky and Fallout 4.

You're right. That's NOT a drill.

This is:

Joke aside, while I've never played Hollow Night, I can at least be happy for the fanbase right now.

I'm excited to stop hearing about Silksong in a few months.

I got the first game for "free" with PS plus, first 30 mins I thought, meh, it's just another micro-budget metroidvania. But after that, the game's art style, world building and difficulty really caught me off-guard. I have no problem saying it's one of my fave games of the last decade, and I have total faith in Team Cherry for Silksong.

I tried it on Game Pass but couldn't get into it. I'm pretty picky with Metroidvania games since there are so many of them, however I thought this one would be for me given how much praise it got, but yeah, I just couldn't get into it. I accept that it's a good game, probably even a great one, it just didn't appeal to me for whatever reason.

Silksong before Metroid prime 4...

There was some nice, collective screaming in my household for that release date, with me, my wife, and our roommate all stating we were gonna purchase day 1 xD

Do you have any faves you could recommend? I still need to play Symphony of the Night.

Hold tight G

Brother and I will be going splits probably and sharing on family Steam library

I'm glad Silksong fans can finally play their game after living on insanity for years like the Arkham fans (I feel their pain as a Arkham fan), hopefully the game is the dream game they have imagined for years.

Now I'll be in the waiting list for Metroid Prime 4, just wait and hope boys and girls.

Nice! Welcome to the forums!

Silksong is better than Metroid Prime 4 because it won't be a Nintendo exclusive. More people can play.

Being an exclusive devalues the game quality? Damn ... I didn't know

Hollow Knight is a 10/10 game for me. I love metroidvanias, and HK is one of my favorites in the genre!

I can't believe its been like 8 years.I hope the wait and the hype doesn't diminish the reception of Silksong. A lot of people will be disappointed no matter what, especially if its not as good as the first one.
Obviously I'm hoping its as good or better than the first game, but I'll still be happy if its "just" a good game.

Exclusives are the worst thing in this industry

Didn't know my bad g

Didn't know my bad g

There's literally no REASON to have a team of specialized, hand picked professionals create a unique experience tailored to a hardware so it can reach it's full potential. Not only does it give them room to focus on creating a really good videogame BUT it also creates value for said hardware which is freaking ridiculous. Why would people want reasons to own a piece of hardware????

Third party exclusives maybe. Also maybe not the WORST.

 

[Elwiwi]

Riiiight... So anyway, it's cool seeing that silksong is releasing so soon after so many years

 

[moonbits]

Third party exclusives maybe. Also maybe not the WORST.

even worse, when your own company doesn't or can't fund an idea but you manage to convince one of the big three to fund and publish your idea, having them help you and securing development and only worrying about making a great game.

sounds absolutely nightmarish

 

[Potapota]

I played a couple hours of Hollow Knight once but I really wasn't feeling it. Maybe I should try again before this comes out.
Anyway, happy for everyone who's been asking for this and also happy to finally stop hearing about it lol.

I couldn't agree more with every single statement in your post. Here, have a kiss.
