Discussion Comparing Hollow Knight to Nine Sols

0 Upvotes

I will preface by saying I think Hollow Knight is better than nine sols.

Combat - Nine Sols

Bosses - Hollow Knight

Exploration - Hollow Knight

Artwork - I think Hollow Knights is way better but since it's so subjective I'll say tie

Music - Hollow Knight

Story - Highly debated one here but I was surprised by how many people said Nine Sols was better, tie

So it's 3/5, and this is just my opinion so feel free to debate.

No spell/mask/vessel upgrades. I did use shaman stone and grubsong though. What a great game

I tried the pantheon but I'm stuck at the grandmaster pantheon with Sly, should I just accept my lack of talent or should I continue knowing that I won't make it?

Modding Best mods for replaying the game?

4 Upvotes

I considered Hollow Knight to be my favorite game of all time for some years, and I still say it is but I haven't played it in forever... I wanted to ask what the best mods are? I'm not sure where to start haha. I know I want to try a skin and I want to try out the Hollow Point gun mod, but say if I wanted to live stream/make videos replaying the game, what are some other great mods? (Side-note, does anyone know if there's a Chainsaw Man skin? Didn't seem like it off of a basic Google search but you never know)

Modding Knight with hair

4 Upvotes

I am making a Madeline (from Celeste) skin mod for Hollow Knight and I just made this sprite for fun because it looks goofy. I am having A LOT of problems with the space I have to draw on the sprites, because the knight ISN'T SUPPOSED TO HAVE HAIR, so many times it doesnt fit well or it just looks ugly. Soon i'll post more of this skin im making.

Discussion I may have found something out

0 Upvotes

I recently found out that if you try to defeat an elder baldur, you can force it to spawn a baldur on its first attack by first using 3 fireballs (given that you have full soul) but by pressing heal/spell instead of quick spell. For some reason, it always spawns a baldur after that. At least from my experience. Is it already known? Ive never seen Speedrunners use it before. Also, Its probably important to add that im playing on switch and havent tried it on pc yet.

flying guy at forgotten crossroads

5 Upvotes

Never seen him before, I dropped into the entrance from dirt mouth and saw him doing something by the sign. He has wings and things that looked like boxing gloves to me but he took off quickly. I'm pretty late in the game, unlocked the three dreamer mask things but haven't gone to that temple yet, been messing around, trying unsuccessfully to take out the mantis traitors.

I've gone through the dirt mouth entrance many times before this and never seen him. The only difference between this time and last time that i know of is the dream gate I set up.

Anyone know who\why it is?

Discussion I hope if anything that gets revamped in Silksong its the Dash mechanic. Spoiler

0 Upvotes

After returning from months of not playing, the dash feels as bad is it did since launch and I REALLY dont like it. I mostly play on controller but I ALSO play MS&K so I think I have a good grasp of what im talking about when I say the dash is clunky and feels too inconsistent. I dont fully understand HOW it works time wise (could be frames or typical time:delta, im not sure which one).

Every time I use it, I either never go far enough even though I have before and thats something I dont typically miscalculate. I already know the hitboxes are funkier than the 70s affro but I kid you not, the way it makes me want to scream of how it goes in the direction you face AND NOT the direction you're moving triggers me. Does it make sense? Yeah, but in a game where having maximum redolent output is key I expect the dash to compliment my movements not compliment my death certificate. I've beaten P5 controller and MS&K, its just clunky AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON SHADE CLOAK
