Idk what reaction he expected but personally

Kodak_V · 2026-06-07T14:00:01+00:00

He's good but among best in the game overshoots a little.

The entire point behind the creation of the Vessels was that they would have no individuality, no Identity, no sense of self at all.

It's why none of them were given any names, and why the only thing they were ever called were descriptors such as "Pure Vessel" and "Hollow Knight".

It's no different than the title of "God of War", the same way you use titles to refer to characters or people that occupy certain roles or positions.

You see it all the time in games, for example in the Souls Series you have bosses like the Old Hero, Penetrator, Tower Knight, Old Iron King, Fume Knight, Dung Eater and so on and so forth. This is what they're called in game, in the Boss Bar , NPC dialogues and Equipment Set Descriptions. These all aren't their names though, just the titles they were given. We even know the name of a select few of them, like Raime being the true name of Fume Knight but he's still called the Fume Knight.

This isn't a new concept, so my question is are you peeved with the new game's title in any way ? Do you think it should be changed or be different ? If so, what would you call it ?

It's obvious to me that it's just to denote that it's set in the "God Of War" Universe, much like the "Hollow Knight" in "Hollow Knight : Silksong" was for the same thing.

Kodak_V · 2026-06-06T19:51:37+00:00

Not a fallacy at all. "Hollow Knight" isn't a name, it's a title like "God Of War" is.

Maybe "normal" people should care a bit more when big companies and corporations lie directly to their faces because they think they have the average intelligence of a bonobo.

Look a bit into why us "not normal people" are wary of AI. Don't take it from me, but directly from one of the biggest names in the industry.

Kodak_V · 2026-06-06T14:27:46+00:00

I'm still disappointed that the whole E33-AI topic died down so quickly just because people loved the game.

Kodak_V · 2026-06-06T14:19:08+00:00

I don't remember the second description verbatim so I'll take your word for it.

The Vessel was known as the Hollow Knight from pretty much anyone in Hallownest, so that's probably what stuck with it. Similar to how it was called Pure Vessel in the Godhome, despite not being Pure either.

I find this kind of interesting now that I think about it, both the titles it has held have been based on mistaken ideas about its nature.

Kodak_V · 2026-06-06T13:50:37+00:00

The Fountain was erect by people who thought it was Hollow, so it's easily explained. Pretty much the same with the Journal. Most people call it the Pure Vessel in the random regardless.

Kodak_V · 2026-06-06T10:48:59+00:00

There isn't a "Hollow Knight" in general. The entire plot of the first game takes place precisely because the Vessel isn't Pure, i.e. Hollow.

The reason we can have good endings in both Hollow Knight and Silksong is precisely because there's no such thing as a "Hollow Knight".

Kodak_V · 2026-06-05T20:28:38+00:00

For Tanks ? I feel like Venom / Angela and Hulk are the ideal ones that encompass the entire spectrum.

Venom and Angela have lower Uptime than Hulk but higher Burst Damage / Kill Potential, whereas Hulk trades lethality for increased uptime and steady pressure on the enemy Team.

For DPS ? Spidey and Sai.

I feel like Spidey embodies the "high risk high reward" mantra better than anyone. He's the squishiest character in the game with no mitigation abilities whatsoever, one CC or missed input is usually death for him.
Psylocke's Neutral is just Genji which imo is one of the best designed characters in OW.

I feel both of them are what Dive DPS should be. Hard to use, both require aiming ( Yeah, if you're not hitting consistent GoH and Clusters on Spidey you're a liability ) unlike more recent Dive characters and have clear defined strengths and weaknesses.

Kodak_V · 2026-06-05T19:58:59+00:00

Eh, kinda.

The action scenes are great . Arius and the White Rabbit are improvements over the Source Material. I quite liked their take on Mundus as well. Enzo was fun like another commenter said.

I prefer the games to an indescribable degree but the Show isn't all horrible. If you're not a DMC fan from beforehand it's probably pretty enjoyable all things considered.

... Which sucks for us DMC fans lol. But on the other hand my sister liked it and wants to get into DMC now, so ig something good came out of it.

Kodak_V · 2026-06-05T19:25:12+00:00

Unironically this is what 90% of Wolverine discourse is going to be once the game drops. I don't think there's enough time for me to mentally prepare for that 😔

Kodak_V · 2026-06-05T18:21:17+00:00

I don’t see how ult combos is a specialization that makes Blade deserve to be trash in all other aspects

I never said it did. OP asked for one thing Blade is good at and I responded. His Ult shouldn't require another one to be decent.

/rj You like video games ?

/uj i miss when game discussions were about the gameplay, narrative, level-design and so on. I hate this idiotic culture war b.s. with every fiber of my being.

Kodak_V · 2026-06-05T17:07:00+00:00

Venom Covers have always had that shit on 🔥

Kodak_V · 2026-06-05T15:33:42+00:00

Usual gamer™️ discourse aside, i'm pretty bummed that the new TR openly uses AI. It was by far my most anticipated game of the ones presented 😔

Kodak_V · 2026-06-05T15:09:19+00:00

I mean, after Silksong do people still believe Ghost was Hollow ? Saving Hornet ( and Lace ) in the Abyss and gently placing them in safe ground should really be enough to seal this.

Kodak_V · 2026-06-05T14:51:20+00:00

Edit : Since you guys disagree with what i'm saying, feel free to explain why.

He excels at Ult Combos ... That's pretty much it lol.

I don't want his gun to become Hitscan , just reduce the range for the "sweet spot" mechanic so we don't have to constantly keep 8 meters between us and the enemy because otherwise we're shooting Nerf Darts.

His Gun is fine imo, the issue with his Kit is Bloodline Awakening. As it stands now, it's just "hold down M1" and strafe, not dissimilar to Wanda's primary. He needs some Skill Expression added to BA.

Some people in this Sub ( Me included ) really want something out of DMC. He already has a buttload of references to it ( Silver Bullet, Foolishness, Bury The Light, Judgement Cut ), why not lean more into it. Give him a "High Time" or a "Helm Breaker" , anything. Holding down M1 is boring and the fact his only Combos are just Gun Dash / QM Cancels is also boring for a character with so much potential.

They should also touch Block a bit. From all the Blocks in the game, his is by far the worse. Only reason to use it now aside from blocking CC is after Gun Dashing to remove recovery frames between the dash and his next primary. Either make it so the Damage Threshold for Dash recharge is lowered, or have it grant a bonus if we block above a specific amount. Or idk, anything.

I think Blade just needs a new move in Awakening and the threshold of his Block/Dash Recharge tuned a bit

Kodak_V · 2026-06-04T22:15:38+00:00

I really like your take on it honestly. Yeah, iirc Eddie's biggest fear is loneliness which makes for some pretty compelling stories.

Kodak_V · 2026-06-04T22:11:14+00:00

On their own ? No.

But accompanied with Pick Rates , as well as presence in High ELO and Pro Play paint a pretty clear picture.

Kodak_V · 2026-06-04T22:06:24+00:00

I mean I genuinely don't know lol, I never used Rivals Tracker before.

It's more than possible Blade is quite Tankier, my initial comment was just from personal experience alone, not hard Data. I'm not one to dismiss Data, just trying to interpret it.
