    Love to see this game being so popular. I hope it lives up to expectations. Hollow Knight was a game that accompanied me through some tough time in life. Can’t wait to play Silk Song on the weekend.

      I’ve been replaying Hollow Knight this week, and despite it being years since I played, I still had the muscle memory. So I was just blazing through, I mean once you do the crazy parcore in the castle the other challenges are pretty easy

      The skills do not transfer over, I’m almost as bad as I was going into the first game

      So far, this game is exactly what was promised… You’re Hornet from the last game, in a new place, with a new story

      It’s like playing Hollow Knight for the first time again

        I am playing the original Hollow Knight before streaming Silksong on twitch, and holy shit I have never felt this ASS at a platformer before. 90% of the time I’m falling off platforms by accident or somehow falling off and AVOIDING EVERY PLATFORM FOR NO REASON and falling all the way down. Usually into acid.

          Lol… Wait until you play Silksong. Hollow Knight is about straight lines and timing, if you want to be Hornet you have to learn to dance in the air

          You need positioning, timing, and angles. You have to dance into their guard and hit with precision, you can hit them while dodging their strike, you have to dance in between them and the hotbox of their attack

          Sleeping and stepping away helps.

            Forty five degree angles are the devil from what I’ve seen on twitch lmfao. No one is use to that yet.

              I will be tomorrow… A night of sleep and I think I’ll have it. It’s starting to click

              I did think about streaming it, probably would’ve been a good way to start. But on the other hand, I want to enjoy this game for what it is

    If this is what happened over Silksong I just imagine how bad will PSN and Xbox chug once GTA VI is released, and also how badly Steam will crash once it comes to PC.

      Honestly, I don’t think it will be this busy.

      Silksong was the most wishlisted game on the platform, coupled with the fact they’re selling it for $20 USD

      GTA VI will be a huge release, but there is no way Rockstar sells it for anything less than $100 which is going to price a huge amount of people out.

        I don’t think it will be 100. That was just speculation from economics junkies who want to wish it into existence because they have Rockstar stock. Mario Kart World has literally not sold at all outside of the Switch 2 bundle specifically because it’s 80. I’m pretty sure every other gaming company saw that and affirmed they wouldn’t make their games more expensive than 70.
