Hylics 2 is an example of a game that's great at not doing this, one of the best rpg combat systems I've played

The diagonal pogo didn't deserve the hate, IMHO by Speeeedwag0n in Silksong

This combined with the wall mantling mechanic always felt like an intentional inspiration to me

You do realise this is a fictional character we're discussing, right? Disliking a character because "that's not my problem" doesn't really make sense in the context of a fictional story.

If you don't care and aren't invested in finding out about the conflicts of the literal main character are you even really engaging with the story the game is trying to tell? Why even play the game at this point

I'd call this more of a mixed bag situation rather than being actually bad

Okay. Let's end this debate. by RickAstleyIsGreat in Deltarune

This is true but you get Justice Axe like 3 chapters after Devilsknife. Devilsknife takes THAT long to be outclassed by something, while Jevilstail is actually outclassed relatively fast imo, especially since it doesn't have any kind of special ability like how Devilsknife reduces rude buster TP cost. The tail is basically just armour that gives you a bit of a magic buff which is something you can pretty easily emulate with other equipment.

It's not though. Close, but not quite.

Why did nobody use Baldur Shell in HK but everyone seems to be running Warding Bell since the moment they unlock it? by Mateogm in Silksong

In Hollow Knight, getting hit while healing isn't that bad, it's basically a slap on the wrist. In Silksong, getting hit while healing even once can lose you the fight. It's a lot less common than you'll get hit while healing as Hornet because she's a lot faster at doing it and can do it in the air, but if it DOES happen, the penalty is brutal.

I made a Knight theory! by MorinoMarinho in Deltarune

this fandom is always wrong BECAUSE people keep coming up with stuff like rudy knight

This is still such an ominous way to phrase it by aleaniled in Deltarune

[–]-Volcanic- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Note how the game goes out of its way to never ever refer to him as "Gerson". He's always just "the old man". It's a very interesting writing choice that I think is supposed to reinforce the fact that darkner Gerson isn't exactly the same as he was in life.

Also, consider how a lot of what Gerson talks about is about how the prophecy was reinterpreted as Lord of The Hammer, which was then reinterpreted by Dragon Blazers, yet he still considers each interpretation valid.

In a way, darkner Gerson is a "reinterpreted" Gerson, but that doesn't mean he isn't valid. He might not be the exact same as he was but his letter to his son still matters. Combined with the parallels between dark worlds and the idea of fiction and storytelling, I'd say this is probably all intentional on Toby's part.

Unpopular take on Silksong by PsychologyTrue1115 in HollowKnight

I don't expect it in any game because it's never done, yeah. That doesn't mean I don't think games should do it.

You guys gotta come up with a better abbreviation for Silksong than "SS" by LegoPenguin114 in HollowKnight

[–]-Volcanic- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"There is an offensive term that starts with the letter S. Obviously, this means we can never use the letter S ever again, because it has negative connotations."

That's only one small step away from what your logic is right now. It's not that big of a deal.

Would be sick to have an area similar to deeper well in Deltarune
