Take your time on it, don't get greedy

Haha I think I'm on like hour 6 of collesum (3rd round). Always dumb mistakes.

I didn’t like how long it takes you to travel to some places and not knowing where the heck to go. Also, not enough stations to revive and having to backtrack when you die sucks. It had moments of briliance for me but got sick of it after halfway through the game

You must've been doing something wrong as there are mostly shortcuts to every boss in the game.

Yeah I know. I had lots of shortcuts but there was still plenty of backtracking.

I would have liked to have seen something near end game that allowed you to quick travel to benches. I enjoy back tracking, but there definitely is a lot and sometimes at far distances between stags.

Dreamgate.

Warp before a boss room, or anywhere.

Haha after multiple days of anger, I sat down and did the collesum without breaking a sweat on first try. Now off to get void heart and finish the game.

Hollow Knight rules. That is all.

Working on this now, last thing prior to god home. Definitely a patience battle. Tried 4x so far, finding that quick focus, deep focus are great to have. Difficult to decide if defense or offense is better.

Took me about ten tries, just downed The Radiance!

So I got Undertale per recommendation here. Ehhhhh? Like an hour and a half in. It has a charm to it but is it worth the time?

Yeah. It took 2 playthrough before I truly appreciated it as a gem that it is. The games 4-6 hours long

Would it be worth doing a Nindies thread? Pick a game a month from the eshop that's well reviewed and on sale?

A nintendies thread sounds good

It's worth the time. The boss fights get harder and harder, and the bullet hell style combat is so cool. Like everyone else has said, it's hard to say what to expect or look forward to without spoilers, but as a player where the "charm" was not enough for me, yes, please keep going. It's worth it.

Alright, I'll stick with it. Curios to see where it goes.

Hollow Knight has been on my list of "games I want to play but just never seem to get around to" list since it launched. Another game I just ticked off that list is Dead Cells, which started in early access a couple years ago and came out in full last year. Been hearing nothing but good things since it came out but I only just started that game up a few days ago, and it's fantastic. Basically elements of Castlevania, Rogue Legacy, and Dark Souls smushed together. It's on the big three consoles and PC; highly recommend checking it out.

I thought Undertale was definitely over-rated, but I did enjoy Hollow Knight quite a bit.

Physical Edition eh? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hollow-knight-nintend...

It was always physical for Switch AFAIK.

No, was digital. Note the pre-order.

I'm pretty sure I've seen it.... Or maybe it was a plushie that had a code. I know I've seen a plushie at Best Buy awhile ago that was for Switch.

Kommie wrote:

Yah, that's what I bought. Physical box for the plush that had a code.

They did just recently announce physical versions for the PS4, Switch and PC. Thankfully it's not fudging Limited Rape Games.

Fangamer is taking pre-orders for physical Hollow Knight copies in both standard and collector's editions on PC, PS4, and Switch.

Gdamnit!

Thank you though, there goes $107.

I got bored after 15 minutes, but then again, platformers like Mega Man have never really entertained me.

MrBean wrote:

Why $107? I'm seeing $64-$69 or something...

Maybe a collector's and regular edition?

I put about 40 hours into it myself. Still, need to go beat the final boss but I was trying to get the void heart. I will probably get just the regular edition. I want the CE but I have put a lot of money into Hollow Knight merc already.

Hollow Knight merc? Short for merchandise or something cool that I missed?

I’m not sure what all I’ve got left besides the fights with Grimm, Traitor Lord, Hollow Knight, and the 3rd stage of the coliseum but I got frustrated a few weeks ago and stopped playing.

I need to pick it back up and get everything finished.

Hollow Knight Vinyl record and plush.

I think all I had left was Nightmare Grimm. Not sure it's worth the headache to go back now.

The coliseum was a damn blast, frustrating, but loved it.

Anyone play Owlboy? I've read good things...and there is a physical copy (and limited edition) at Best Buy. Seems to be fully stocked often...

Admiral wrote:

Because I didn't have a big enough back log already ... gdamnit. This looks pretty cool.

Limited Edition is available for PS4, looks like Switch doesn't even have a listing.

Admiral wrote:

I got it on eshop for 15 and am a few hours in but here's my impressions

Graphics are good
Music is good
Story/characters/world is interesting

I guess my biggest beef is that the controls don't feel fluid or responsive at ALL...and this is a platformer. Maybe it gets better? I dunno
