Look guys, look, it's the same argument that has been posted hundreds of time. What if we discuss this shit again for the 100th time?

Soulful 7-11 hours, thoughtfully crafted like most japanese games

clear leftist money grab american bullshit aimed to fit in as many metroidvania cliches as possible, leaving it ultimately soulless
There, defended

I don't. I think the amount of work Team Cherry did on Hollow Knight warrants a $60 price tag.

I can't, I'd never play a metroidvania that took more than 2 hours to beat. These games are ideally the length of decent runs on an arcade game. Both of these are drown out slug fests

I can smell you through my monitor.

Hollow Knight is ugly and not fun. I have no idea why people like it.

One is an indie game thats been out for years
The other is a Nintendo game, known for literally never beei g on sale

I can't really defend it, but I also don't feel offended by it?

I'd rather play Dread twice than Hollow Knight once. Something about Hollow Knight just didn't feel right to me.

Ok. I'll replay metroid dread every year until I can't play games anymore. Like I do every year for every other metroid game.
I have zero interest in ever replaying Hollow Knight.

It's slow.
>inb4 someone posts that webm of someone being "fast" in Hollow Knight.
Games slow. Also You can speed run Hollow Knight in 32 mins. Still need an hour for Dread.

This is the correct answer.
Hollow Knight is grossly underpriced for the amount of content you get. It's no surprise they're terrified of saying anything about Silksong, the hype it has to live up to is unreal.
As for Dread, I haven't played it, but I can't stand games that are full price and under 10 hours. I'm not saying every game needs padding, but 15 hours is a good amount of content for a single player game.

what with the /best genre/ in-fighting? They're both top kino games, loved em.

you guys should name the Metroidvanias that legitimately sucked balls.

it makes you mad so it's good

hollow knight is one of the worst games i've ever played. i genuinely couldn't believe it was the same game i'd read so much praise for like i actually went back to the steam store and checked to see if there was some other "hollow knight" game, like maybe i was supposed to buy "hallow knight" or some shit. nope.
>have to grind money for a fucking hour if you want your map to be functional
>floaty unresponsive combat feels like a fucking newgrounds flashgame
>world 500x bigger than it needs to be, no concept whatsoever of "less is more"
solid d+ title.

>It's slow.
That makes sense. I was thinking about how moving around the map felt tedious. The knight moving at a leisurely jog when I'm used to the full on run most Metroidvania characters do really killed the game for me.

hollow knight is one of the best games i've ever played. i genuinely couldn't believe it was the same game i'd read so much hate for like i actually went back to the steam store and checked to see if there was some other "hollow knight" game, like maybe i was supposed to buy "hallow knight" or some shit if i wanted to experience the shit game Any Forums told me about. nope.
>no real need to grind unless you're both incapable of staying alive AND have an autistic need buy absolutely all upgrades as soon as available
>smooth, kino combat reminds me of the joy of newgrounds flashgames from my youth but polished to 11
>world 500x bigger than it needs to be, devs really went out of their way to create a lived-in universe with ample opportunities for exploration
solid a+ title.

I haven't played Metroid, but HK is pure garbage.

you know this fanbase is fucking insecure about the low quality of their game when the best they can offer to defend it is "i'm rubber you're glue."

Nintendo cultists.
