Turbo autistic lunie has dedicated his life on this game on thia board

it's just fucking boring, that's it

After getting the dash and the wall climb was when I really started enjoying it. I also really enjoyed the exploration, starting out an unfamiliar area with no map was cool.

>hard for the sake of being hard
>literally the most vanila a Metroidvania can be
>"b-but it's all hand drawning!!!!!!! you can't dislike it!!!!!"

Combat is very simplistic with lack of interesting movement options at the start.
Flavor is basically bug souls, game also borrows many aspects from souls games with little change
Backtracking is annoying because of multiple traps and enemies you cannot skip.
Basically the game is very basic, shallow and lacks its own identity.
If I wanted to play a Souls or Metroid game I would do just that.

>hard for the sake of being hard
literally learn the mechanics, actually learn them, literally and unironically get fucking good retard

Hey user
I'm gonna unplug your controller and you will need to get up to plug it back

But don't worry, it's a feature and if you dare saying it's annoying, I will shut your mouth saying git gud

it is a very streamlined, stripped down, textbook take on the genre
castlevanias, souls etc have a whole lot of extraneous stupid shit in them, hollow knight less so
it is what it is

its mostly artstyle and music. Badges were OK but somewhat limiting in choices. Exploring was fun, finding the Queen's Garden, the Hive or the Colosseum was a highlight for me.

The game at no point convinced me to care about the story, or even confront the bosses. That one uppidy Beetle said we'd fight in the Colosseum and that was when I turned the game off, after fulfilling that.

what are you even saying

that's because it plays like a shitty Megaman Zero clone

If you've played past the point of getting the dash + wall jump and you're still not enjoying it, then it's not for you. Go play something you enjoy

You don't like it because you've played the same section three times

>finished the game twice
>made it almost halfway on steel soul

it
is
bad
now go back to watch Huts you fucking nigger

You dont have to like everything. Try Ori or Dead Cells.

>Hollow Knight
>Hard
Literally how in the fuck do people consider this game hard?

this was my experience with the game as well. my first run stayed fun for me even though I ended up doing a ton of unnecessary backtracking.
>hard for the sake of being hard
nothing in the game is really hard besides godhome, NKG, and Radiance. if you get stuck on a boss besides these ones you should probably look for some upgrades.

it is artificialy made to be "hard" AND boring.

The game should just start you off with a ground dash desu senpai

Main problem with HK
It's remove QoL under charms like knowing where you're on the map and give you a slow characther while other bad design in this style and tell you (it's just hard not annoying)

But its not even hard.

Why does Zig Forums hate this game again? Did you guys get filtered? I really enjoyed playing it

maybe its just not for you

>Third time playing
Did you finish it or drop the game and replay the same three sections twice? If you are just restarted playthroughs arbitrarily no game would be enjoyable like that. Hollow Knight especially starts slow

Restart, since it was months between each attempt and new if I jumped back in I would be too lost and confused to get anywhere.

There are a bunch of autistic falseflaggers on both sides trying to rile everyone up. HK threads used to be comfy but now it's just endless shit flinging.

Hey OP, it's cool if you don't like the game. If it's not your thing it's not your thing. Doesn't mean you need to git gud, also doesn't stop anyone else from enjoying it. Play games that you find fun, that's the point of playing games.

seems silly to me that you would restart twice when you weren't even that far in.
anyway, my recommendation is to follow a guide to get the Mantis Claw. then close the guide and play without guidance for an hour or two. If you are still bored, the game just isn't for you.

Try to power through until you get the wall cling and double jump. Learn how to pogo too.

WHEN THE FUCK IS SILKSONG

Hey user.

I share the same viewpoint as you. Just wanted to let you know amongst all the people screaming that you don't like their favourite video game.

Beat hornet twice. Had no interest in going forward.

If you haven't, I would definitely recommend ori and the blind forest. That is one of the better metroidvanias I've played in my 33 years alive

It's not for everyone. If you're getting bored rather try something fast paced. HK is a great game and I won't let Zig Forums fags say otherwise just because it's popular and not from the east.

I just finished the game and it really isn't as hard as people claim it to be
sure, I got stuck on hornet for a little bit, but she's just forcing you to adapt to a certain playstyle and she's still way easier than DS beginner traps
the only hard bosses are her, the thing from rayman and the traitor king, the final boss is a joke

I know the DLC is way harder, but I'm talking about the opinion people had when this game first came out

>it's not from the east
Well technically, user...

the game is much harder on switch because of the fuck you input delay
i nearly got filtered by traitor lord on switch, but the moment i played it on pc i killed him first try

Your trolling is just abysmal

The next area you are slated to go through is one of the best, it also has the first actually challenging bossfight with some kickass music.

Though I didn't realize I loved the game until I accidentally fell into deepnest and got trapped there. And then once you get to the city of tears the game becomes top comfy and hugely opens up. Try to stick with it. You are still fairly early in the game.

>Trolls now pretend they've played all other metroidvanias and this is the only one they don't like
Pathetic, Hollow Knight is easily one of the best games of the last decade. People that actually play video games know this, you retards can go back to your only playing CoD other FPS and whatever 3rd person action game you can get your hands on.
