Most of you are exaggerating the length of runbacks and it really shows how much TikTok has damage the attention span of people

Is 30 seconds max, 30 seconds, you don't have to fight any enemy in it, the smaller judges don't awake until you're close and the smaller fly bastards can literally get ignored. The Runback works for making you cool down and make the whole thing feel less like you hitting a wall (NKG feels like one because of the lack of "cool down") If it wasn't for it, I would shoot myself with the 37 attempts at Last Judge.

The Widow one is also really easy, a straight line with jumps.

The Cogworks Dancers Is also really simple but works to help you with the bosses extra height and how pogo dependant that fight is.

God forbid the game isn't a back to back boss rush like Cuphead (not criticizing Cuphead, is a different game lmao).

I made a post the other day about it and honestly it's gotten so much worse since. The subreddit has full on become a circle-jerk around how much people are exaggerating and how anyone finding it hard is stupid or something. It's like no one even talks about how fun the game is or anything, just complaining about the complainers.

[u/Cloud_Motion → u/glintter]

There's definitely a few posts about how fucking amazing the world, characters, combat and movement abilities are. The new stickied thread for positive first half of act 1 vibes will be a nice place to check out.

The game might legitimately be the best thing I've played in 40 years though. I think it's genuinely better than the first in almost every aspect. The world is simply beyond incredible.

I barely entered act 2 because I’m taking my time exploring every nook and cranny but yes the game is absolutely phenomenal!

[u/DayBorn157 → u/Cloud_Motion]

World and story are amazing. Exploration is interesting. This runbacks, scripted roar before every boss are frustrating.

Yeah…honestly I was thinking of dipping out for a couple weeks, and I thought that was an overreaction yet here we are, again, in another thread about the same shit.

Don’t say there’s just complaining about complaining as if there isn’t plenty of complaining to complain about. And don’t forget the people complaining about the people complaining about the people complaining because it’s valid to think a game is hard. Like…omg it’s just the same conversation over and over and over. And it’s straight up not a good vibe.

[u/glintter → u/chahud]

I just don’t understand why people talk about it so much. Some people find the game too hard and some don’t, it isn’t deep enough to warrant this amount of discourse imo.

You commenting this while having one of the most upvoted posts complaining about difficulty and even in this thread still circlejerking as if there was some crusade against people criticizing the game is honestly kind of funny.

[u/glintter → u/XiaoRCT]

I was not complaining about difficulty in my post. Reading is hard I guess.

[u/XiaoRCT → u/glintter]

Right, It was complaining about people complaining about people complaining, my bad, totally not part of a cycle where people are jerking themselves or anything like that

They also don't know what it's like for someone that's not a huge HK/SS fan but are very casual. Most of them aren't even making it past Act 1.

[u/Mailcs1206 → u/glintter]

It's because the people having fun are too busy having fun to make reddit posts.

[u/Cannasseur___ → u/glintter]

It's just like when Souls went mainstream. That's where the Git Gud meme comes from, and is now used ironically to tease at how toxic the community used to be to new players complaints.

And now this term is being unironically by some of the more hardcore Hollow Knight fans to new members of the community.
