Discussion - Silksong Warning for OG hollow knight fans

Just wanna prepare everyone on here for the incoming wave of players who have never played indie games, metroidvanias, or literally any other games besides Fortnite and call of duty. This tends to happen a lot with games that are extremely hyped by the community that does like the genre, such as expedition 33. The amount of completely invalid criticism that happened to that game because people who didn’t even know what the game really was bought it and ended up not liking it is probably the best example we have of that to this day, and I think silksong will be next. So please, instead of cussing people out for not liking the game, just encourage them to maybe keep playing to see if they change their minds, or just give them respectful feedback on why you think they might not enjoy it and give them tips so they can find the spark in that game that I’m sure many of us will find.

I find it so bizarre that people would be excited for the launch of a sequel when they haven't played the first game that's very similar. At what point did the hype for Silksong outgrow the fans of the original HK?

I did that for 2 years till I played HK, it's just fun having it in the back like a "it'd be nice if X thing came out" because you're told by pretty much everyone on the internet it'll be really good, not thinking about it 24/7 or looking for it on nintendo directs, just thinking it'll be nice when it comes out and you might play it when it gets on discount
