watching this in the video linked in the replies and oh. oh this is the epitome of early flash animation

i heard the redeem for the first time and then freaked when i looked it up and saw it was from a FFX parody

Best I was able to manage after ~14 minutes... losing is quite tense, you're never more than a quarter second away from a game over

in fact lets go look at that op again i love it, lets check the comments too and GGGROOOAAAAURUUUUGUHGHHGGHHHHH

what occured in this scenario

how you use your whole ass hornet to dash, jump, and dive around attacks in a 2d space. i enjoy some iframes/guarding/unblockable simon says but this kind of active movement felt really refreshing

it was quite interesting playing this game and needing to consider spacing and looking out for specific patterns or tells so i could put myself in a place where i could properly react to bosses.
i've been musing on boss design in a swordy action game like this and silksong is very compelling with

I feel kind of gratified for having reached the same conclusion about Bloodborne... before release, i was giggling along with the "if HK1 was dark souls silksong will be dark souls 2" joke

then, i hit that optional moment and went "oh fuck it's bloodborne. ...oh *FUCK* silksong is bloodborne."

this does look intruiging... but i still have Demon King Chronicle on my docker. the choices..!

of course later i started rolling through everything as usual but that was because i couldn't fit anything else on with my huge ass sword. the Dragon Bone Crusher stays equipped during our battle.

playing DeS after every other modern fromsoft ARPG was a neat experience and Armored Spider may have been one of the most memorable victories i had

trying to iframe through the fireballs at first and then afterwards leafing through my inventory for the highest fire resist shield i could find...

i think she means the big ant gatekeeping hunter's march with this one, seeing mention of "jump and swipe" moves

this makes me only more excited to play silksong. i was someone who never once used wayward compass in HK because i liked navigating based off room shape and memory

do they kind of fit into the same niche of "good players with this character are absolute fucking demons"

i finished it and immediately went to buy the artbook!
