Reggie: Hollow Knight on Switch is selling "exceptionally well"
- Thread starter K Samedi
- Start date
I'm definitely picking up CSH on Switch, it seems like the perfect fit!
I started playing it last week and a few hours later I'm getting the hang of things, learning you could pogo jump off enemies was a big revelation.
That's not speculation, that's what Team Cherry themselves have said is the plan.
I did read it but not sure what difference this brings to my original point? I'm calling you out on the part of your post that's wrong, not because you're being negative or positive about it, but because you're wrong.
They're working on Gods and Glory update at the moment, then they'll be doing Hornet DLC.
They are probably a long way off an entirely new game right now.
These two games overshadow the vast majority of AAA productions out there.
the celeste love in this thread is making me want to buy it once i'm done with rayman legends on switch
You mean the slight pause that happens? that's intentional to add impact, happens on PC as well, you'll be thankful for it in some of the faster paced boss fights lol.
that's intended, so you have a chance to collect yourself and not lose too many masks at once
Good, I certainly was one of the people who waited for this release to get my hands on it, and it paid off. Perfect timing with a good release window and just so polished. It's my GOTY and I don't think anything will touch it.
Robert, how do you feel about the Switch as a system now that you've been using it for a while?
I absolutely hate it as it always screws up my timing. It doesn't seem like it is supposed to be there. It has led me to losing more masks, that's for sure.
the last DLC is probably a separate thing going by the subject matter.
Tbh I didn't know it was as beloved as it is.
Looks amazing though, really glad it has found an audience on Switch

Maybe they don't care about RDR as much as you do? Why are you having such a hard time understanding that your perception of how good a game is, has no bearing on someone else's PERSONAL GOTY?
Your game will definitely sell very well on Switch. I'm buying it for sure. I've got nearly 35 hours of flights and travel at the end of the month and looking forward to dig into CSH. :-)
Hmm maybe I should get back into this game. Really like the atmosphere and it has some solid mechanics... and I was really into it for the first 5 hours, then as the game opened up I started getting lost more and more, aimlessly backtracking through the same corridors etc. Perhaps I'm getting too old for this genre. lol
I don't have a hard time understanding and you are lost. I do not care about RDR and agree with what you said; but I wasn't arguing otherwise in the first place.
This is a thread about Hollow Knight's success and there was zero reason to interject RDR2 into the conversation to shit on it, not when anyone can make a personal opinion about a game that hasn't release one way or another. If he doesn't care about RDR as much as I do , maybe he would not have even brought it up.

Deserves the overwhelming success, most impressive game I've played since The Witness. Best metroidvania is not hyperbole, but truth. I put 50 hours into the Switch version and I'm even replaying it now on pc (Steam version was on sale too). I was just going to check out if the pc version looked better, but this turned into another run through the game. Just a fantastic game in every way, even the soundtrack is incredible.
Due to its size, I view it more as a better Wii U (able to play anywhere in the house without worrying about losing the signal) than a better Vita/3DS (kind of clunky to take it with me on errands), however I did just travel to Korea last week and it was super nice to be able to take it with me (I used it to play the Octopath Traveler demo some more; would have played other games too but I'm participating in the Grandia RPG Club). Love how nice games look in portable mode. The lack of a proper D-Pad is a weakness, but livable. The kids really like Mario Kart, Splatoon, and Labo.
My main problem with the system is I wish I had more of a reason to use it. I did not like Zelda much at all (dislike the combat, dislike how it feels like it takes forever to go anywhere or do anything, my favorite part of Zelda has always been the dungeons, and well, I think I just don't think I like open-world games unless they have cool superhero-style movement like Gravity Rush or infamous) & Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was a big disappointment (I hear it gets better later, so I'll give it another shot sometime). My favorite Switch game for the longest time was Has-Been Heroes (really cool lane-based roguelike) & I've enjoyed some other indie games on the system like N++, "Totally not Castlevania 3," and VOEZ. I enjoyed Mario Odyssey for a couple weeks & Splatoon 2 is a fun game to play periodically when I'm in the mood, but mostly I've been neglecting the system in favor of other systems. This looks like it'll change soon though - I loved the Octopath Traveler demo & there's Hollow Knight and other indie games I'm excited to play on Switch. After Octopath Traveler, there's not much of anything big I'm looking forward to for the rest of the year (already imported DQ11) so I plan to use the downtime to catch up on a bunch of indie games I missed ideally on the Switch.
Uhm... I just checked what place it came in on Era GOTY awards 2017. Then I wasn't sure if it originally released on PC in 2016... but nope, Feb 2017 :(
Not in the top 20? Are you kidding me?!
My guess would've been top 5!
I really hope so, your game deserves the success
I'm gonna double dip
Nobody played it because it came out around the same time as Horizon, Nioh, and For Honor. But I put it as my number 1. I did my part :(
