I don't get what the big deal is.
It's a pretty good game. A lot of people were looking forward to it, and it was as good as they thought it was gonna be.
>>253289687
/thread
It's a decent game to come out. There's just so much shit it gets more praise because it isn't shit.
>>253289516
I don't either, it's a mediocre side-scroller that belongs in the mid 90's. I mean shit, I'm older then most of you fags and I still don't give a shit about retro crap. It was fun when I was a kid but move the fuck on
>>253289516
Its based on a perfected formula, it gave everyone what they wanted, it has a lot of charme and it doesn't have any bullshit
Its quick and fun
just play it, downloading this game literally takes less than a minute
>>253290105
I'm not a retro devotee, but why would a particular style of game need to die out just because of a change of decade?
>>253289516
Oh look, this thread again.
It's basically the perfect amalgamation of 8-bit platformers. It takes all of the best and none of the worst. Music is top-tier, gameplay is simple yet engaging, story is minimal, but intriguing. Lots of replayability and free DLC on the horizon.
It's fucking solid on every front. Only "flaw" is that some say it's too short, but that's what old platformers were.
>>253290558
I personally can't wait for first-person shooters to die out.
This game is pretty damn fun.
Thanks for suggesting it /v/
Got it for myWIi-Uand I'm having a pretty good time.
Is there anything I should know for the future? I'm about to go up against Treasure Knight, I have one chalice, and I've found a couple of those hidden rooms where the guy sells relics.

>>253291681
It is always useful to know that you can cancel the downward thrust by pressing the attack button. ESPECIALLY in Mole Knight's stage.
>>253289516
There is no big deal. Most of /v/ hates the game and the devs keeps shilling the game here. Make sure you are supporting pc gaming by pirating this title.
Should I pirate that game?
And if so should I leave my torrent seeding it?
>>253292297
Yes and yes
Just beat it. Good length, great difficulty, and solid music. Simple but fun story. Homages to Megaman, Mario, and other retro games. I didn't pay for it but I'd consider it the next time it goes on sale. 4/5 would shovel again
>>253290734

>>253292297

it's better than the game you are making, OP
>>253290105
that's because you were probably some mundane faggot or jock back then who used to laugh at the vidya, and you're only now getting into it because it's more socially acceptable
The irony is you probably still wear shit from Old Navy thinking you're cool
Every time when somebody mentions this game I get this sudden urge to listen to the OST
>>253290734
They already are dead.
>>253289516
And I don't see why /v/ has such a hateboner for this game
It's pretty good and one of the best platformer we had in years
It's a game that is reminiscent of great platformers from the nes era, and stays pretty damn true to that, save the extra channels the famicom got for sound, 4 extra colors, removing the sprite flickering and a few other miniscule things.
People bitch for the sake of bitching, it's a damn fine game.
Guys, i just randomly received Shovel Knight as i gift.
I usually buy a fuckton of bundle(like humble bundle and indie gala) so i'm used to get games like this.
But Shovel Knight wasn't in a bundle. I don't have it in Desura and i received it in my e-mail, pic related.
I don't usually share my e-mail and/or steam account on /v/ or other boards/chans.
So, THE FUCK?
Btw, should i create a thread for this?
>>253292838
It was the hardest boss in my opinion

Nah, that new Gianna Sisters was way better.
>>253295776
>>253296008
Also:
>Tons of huge sprites on the screen
>No slowdown
>No flicker
That stuff can be annoying, but it at least should have been an option. My mind can't take seeing all that ugly 8-bit shit without it flickering.
It was pretty good, but still, there are a lot of better 2D sidescrollers out there.
Cave Story is better in every way, for example. But still, it's nice to have something not shit for once, and I'd gladly play a sequel.

Because it's an obsolete genre. This game is just nerdcore hipster trash for the same college aged losers who watch Adventure Time and Adult Swim and go on about how retro they are, since colorful 8-bit shit is now hip and cool in that circle.
>>253296478
He's tough early on, but by the time I hit Propeller Knight and Mole Knight I didn't have much trouble with bosses

>>253297218
Oh fuck off. 8-bit and retro games are considered to be an art from by many, including myself, and they don't have to go away just because people like you don't understand the appeal.
I suppose now that we can render everything digitally, artists shouldn't waste their time painting on canvas because that medium is "obsolete", right?
>>253290558
i enjoy the game, maybe because i grew up during the late nes era and was able to enjoy snes and after
most times now a days devs focus on the graphics to hide a game that has boring fucking gameplay/story (fps: war) etc
it's fun. really all it comes down to. people seem so cynical and feel the need to nitpick because it wouldn't fit on an nes cart, also because a lot of indie games masquerade around this style and end up being generic shit.
games 15 bucks, well worth it. i can understand people who didn't grow up during that era not "getting" it or hating it because it seems dated in comparison to what's available today, but the gameplay is what shines.
>>253297218
>obsolete
>people play NES platformers everyday through emulation and even make their own romhacks
Maybe obsolete to the shill-filled market but not people who enjoy games. Also did some guy who liked Adventure Time and Adult Swim rape you? Sounds like you're holding a grudge about it.
Because it caters to Nostalgiafags, while adding new and refreshing stuff to the table for modern platformerfags.
>>253289516
Great soundtrack, decent gameplay, okay story and characters, somewhat nice graphicsaside from horrible cleany walls
It's decent.
The shovel attack could have been bigger and the whole game could stand to be about double the size.
Not worth the $20 or whatever they wanted retail, but worth a pirate.
>>253297791
it should be noted that Shovel Knight is not an indie game that relies on retro graphics compared to some of the shit being pushed out. the graphics are a bonus because the gameplay is solid.
looks interesting, just looked at some videos, reminds me of ducktales

Easily one of the best 2D platformers I've played post-2000 so far.
Not as good as Super Meat Boy or Cave Story but it has that fucking charm, man.
The game is a lazy cash grab designed on nostalgia. The devs are lazy and have absolutely no talent
>>253298557

This is the best way to describe it that /v/ will understand

People who actually grew up with these games like myself are done with them. I owned an NES and a Super Nintendo. I'm done with them. I might get a tinge of nostalgia from them, but I'm not going to pretend that they're superior to modern video games in any way. I honestly would have loved to have grown up playing Modern Warfare and all the other "mainstream" games coming out right now.
>>253292653
I beat that stage on my first try without any check points, but fuck, those fucking dark areas made me panic so hard. I literary started screaming when the boss started doing that shit too.

Pandering.
It panders to nostalgia fags about "when games were good!" and "it's just like those games you played when you were a kid! isn't this great?!"
Also Kickstarter so it gets a lot of attention from cool kids and contrarian people that are sticking it "to the big bad corporations, dude!"
By the way it's a good game. Nice music, nice gameplay even if it's a little derivative and enough replayability thanks to the many cheats.

Tetris
>>253289516
It was ok.
At first it was boring and felt clunky (but not as clunky as Hyrda Castle Labyrinth), but then it got a little fun, and then it got boring again.
Halfway through I only kept playing so I could beat it. None of the rooms or puzzles were challenging in any way, most of them I just ran though and instinctively picked up on them as I blew through them.
Game turned to shit once I got propeller blade and realized I could just spam that in enemies' faces and kill bosses in 10 seconds.
Music is good though.
Definitely one of the better retro platformers since "retro" became "retro".
But the genre as a whole has stagnated long ago. If I wanted to play one I'd play hydra castleabyrinth for free, and not pay $15 for the same experience.
And just because a game has 2-D jumping or a world map does not mean it has "elements that are an homeage to Mario and mega man".
>>253300113
Who the fuck said it was the best game we had in years? I never said that and you're randomly assuming bullshit.

>I honestly cant find a single thing wrong with it.
Aside from every "obstacle" in any level past the second just being "Don't fall in this pit or don't walk into these spikes"

>getting impaled kills you

>>253300113

>>253300514
>it's about realism
or what is your argument exactly?
>getting a fireball shot at you doesn't kill you
>>253300337
A lot of old retro platformers were like that too, on average the enemies didn't kill you, the knockback into pits did.
Modern games are fine.
3D is fine.
2D is fine.
Outside of personal preferences I don't see what the problem here is.
Stop taking video games so seriously.
>>253300269
Really feels like they dropped the ball on balancing relics really, you can run through half the game just spamming the invincibility thing
A friendly reminder that a no relic and no upgrade run is the best way to play this game

>>253300582
The point is your argument is barely valid.
Each level is designed in a unique way.
Even the spike traps are different, but you always see it coming. Its not the devs fault you have shit reflexes
>>253289516
It's fun, charming and a return to form of a beloved genre of game that doesn't really exist any more.
>>253300608
That's probably my biggest complaint. That and the health Ichor were pretty easy to abuse. Should have given you the Flying Dagger move instead of the invincibility move so early.

>Making sense

It's an argument about good design, and this game lacks it.
>>253300590
No, what a lot of old retro platformers did was give you very limited hp, 2 or 3 hits, so it could actually be likely that you'd die from enemies in the level not just falling into a pit at full hp. Even Megaman did it better since they didn't just litter every level with pits and spikes, you'd actually take damage from enemies and it might full justified if you screw up a jumping puzzle, not just get knockback from your own attack and die.
>>253300287
>Shovel Knight isn't a bad game
What a terrible opinion you have. It is a shame that you fall for cash grabs so easily
>>253300540
The thing is that it's not paying tribute to them but instead blatantly ripping off gameplay mechanics because the devs can't think of an original ideal up for themselves. Then they went and marketed the game on nostalgia in order to cover up their shit product

Why is everyone mad at each other?
Game is way too easy.
Every "puzzle" or "gotcha" I just plow through, turn around, and say "oh, I can see how that could have gotten me".
I'm 80% through the game now and have found every secret room and music sheet up to this point.
It's not a challenge. I'm bored. I'm only playing still to say that I beat it.
But then again, I guess this is why retro platformers stagnated so much as a genre. They're either a no-brainer or La-Mulana.

>>253301491
welcome to /v/
leave your enjoyment at the door
>>253301491
I really don't know.
It's like people don't like when others disagree with them; go figure.
>>253301491
It's just one or two sperglords working together. Most of these threads have been pretty decent that I've been in. But of course as soon as something gains any popularity /v/ has to pick it apart. This game is getting the 2d vs 3d troll treatment now
>>253301217
don't worry, video game websites and video game reviewers are loving it, see how /v/ will start to hate it whenever the awards and reviews get around
>>253301545
>Wanting platformers to be puzzle-heavy
No, you're doing it wrong. The challenge of platformers stems from different aspects. After you beat the game, take a look at some of the feats or try some of the cheat code challenge runs. That should make it a little harder on you.
>>253301581
This nigga still going
The game is good but pales in comparison to actual retro games.
When a type of game isn't available, people will always go crazy when someone tries to release a game to fill that gap.
Kinda like how people bought Playstation Allstars because Sony doesn't have Smash. Or how so many people bought Minecraft clones on XBLIG because at the time it was a PC only game.
>>253301848
>>Wanting platformers to be puzzle-heavy
not even the same guy, but you have no reading comprehension
Huh, beat spectre on my 2nd try.
First time I had it down to one hit left.
>>253301951
I think that's a fair statement. The old ones are still better but Shovel Knight did a good job replicating that feeling imo.
>>253301980
Yes, I did horribly misread that, my mistake.
>>253297104
Not in the slightest, as I love Shovel Knight and have at the most a love and at the least a acknowledging reverence for the classics.
If you're going to use a le epik maymay buzzterm, at least use it correctly
>>253301918
>LOL I said nigga on the internet like I'm an underprivileged black youth, yet I'm a white person posting on a video game board filled with other white people! I'm so ironic! Sometimes I even post a picture of a small Japanese schoolgirl from one of my Chinese cartoons along with it for double the irony!
>>253301951
This. The oldies are the best. Shovel Knight is just a love letter to the oldies. Still a fucking fun and charming game though.
I dont either, but I shouldve ressearched what it was before playing it
I was waiting for the gimmick, something unique to popup. Usually games that hook me up have something new and unique
I guess its a fine snes game, but nothing more than that

Okay?
The point still stands.
>>253302292
It's a fun game, but going back and looking at my brother's retro game collection (which he's "too old" to play now), I noticed there were a lot of games that pushed the NES to the limit (especially Sunsoft games, games like Gimmick!) and they were forgotten because so many other great games were being released at the time.
I feel like if this were actually released during the NES lifespan, it would be one of those.
I'm not saying it's bad. But people are calling it the next Castlevania or Mega Man, etc.
GOD DAMN IT WHY IS IT SO CATCHY?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDJMKv2Old8
You make Shovel Knight dance to the music, right?
>>253302675
It's not the next Castlevania or Mega Man, it's just a love letter to those games.
>>253302419
>>253302336
>now I'm going to reply with my signature counter of doing exactly what the other person called me out on, which I assume made them upset, so I'm going to say it again to show them how epic of a troll I am.

Your brother is right, he's too old for those games if he actually grew up with them. I'm guessing you didn't though, so eat up I guess.

Thanks /v/.
One of the rare occasions where a modern indie retro nostalgiafag game is actually good. Most nostalgiafag indie games are just poor attempts to fish money out of Megaman/Castlevania fan's wallets with little to no effort, but this game seems like they actually tried to make respectable at least.

>He discovered my trick! Drat! I'll reply with an intentionally inverted variation of the thing he said I was going to do, just to show him that I'm not as predictable as I seem!

if the particular style of game is completely based around the idea of "retro" yes,I think it does.
>>253303225
Go back to Tumblr.

>Kinda like how people bought Playstation Allstars because Sony doesn't have Smash.
wait, I thought it was a huge financial failure? are you telling me otherwise? that shit would be great. you know why? I didn't even buy the game(I have played it though). Because now they maybe will make a sequel which is actually a good game.
the developer who made it is not there anymore, just give it to iron galaxy or bluepoint
>>253303225
I can do this all day just to read your hilarious responses. You know you can say all that without greentext right?
I just hate how most fans of this game shit on older games and then eat this shit up.
They don't want retro games, they just want to pretend
>>253289516
Neither do I...it still isn't out for 3ds in the uk ;_;
>>253302985
I grew up on the NES and I loved Shovel Knight. It wasn't nostalgia goggles, it was a case of a game where it's obvious the developers made it out of passion and not a desire to be jews like EA. In today's age, that's a welcome change and since I am old enough to vote with my wallet, I did.
Not everyone from my generation are "burnt out" with games like this, sorry. I still regularly play megaman, metroid, the first Final Fantasy and other NES games and owning over 200 NES titles it isn't my first either.

>>253289516
This game is funny in how it's designed.
>let's imitate a console from 30 years ago but remove any limitation that might hinder us
That'd be like someone trying to pretend they were a prisoner, except they use the handcuffs that you can open with your thumbs. If they had normal handcuffs, they'd have to be creative (or flexible), but with the removable handcuffs, they take them off whenever something gets uncomfortable.
>>253303474
Who is doing this? Where is an example of this?
>>253303398
>Treasure Knight
Holy shit, my nigga. Thought I was the only one who liked this guy.
>>253289516
It's one of the few games that tried to capture the essence of older sidescrolling platform combat games from the NES/SNES era and did so successfully.
It's charming to boot.
You wouldn't think this'd need to be brought up, but it also happens to be one of the few games that have come out in years with built in cheat codes, including ones that deliberately make the game harder.
>>253303474
>shit that didn't happen
>>253303690
I'm supposed to log every instance of someone on the internet being a shithead?
>>253303530
That's disgusting.
Please tell me about how retro video games are so much better than modern video games.
>>253303561
You're just a big ball of frustration, eh? You seem upset about just about everything. 4chan, adventure time, retro games..
It's free
>>253301363
iunno, I felt pretty challenged at times when I failed some fucking aerial platforming feat 50 times, but I guess that was mainly due to wanting to jew out and not leave any money behind, while not realizing that I was only losing even more by trying in the first place.
>>253303626
I like this comparison.
>>253303595
Legit opinions or shitting on a newly popular game? Seems more like the latter
>>253303878
>>253303561
both of you, get a room and go fuck each other
>>253303824
Way to assume you know how I think, buddy. I play a good mix of both so nice try. What's wrong with trying to enjoy the best games throughout and even before my lifespan? Why limit yourself to 2000s or before/after? You really are a huge faggot.
>>253303595
>not liking circlejerk/nintendo central aka /v/
get out sonygger
>>253303803
No but if you're going to say that then I'd expect at least one instance you could cite. I've never seen anyone saying old Megaman games suck and Shovel Knight is superior.
>>253303398
>tfw no treasure knight campaign
i feel your pain bro
>>253304007
Maybe you should try reddit friend. They like to censor unpopular opinions
>>253304156
Try to get anyone here to actually play an NES, especially the underaged faggots
>>253303878
>now I'll return to the "umad?" response. After all, he would only reply to me if he were emotionally disturbed by my posts, right? I'm show him who the real epic troll is, yes I will!
>>253304003
Really? I thought it was stupid. Regardless, that's what this game feels like, it tries to self-impose limitations that it doesn't even follow because it will hinder them. "Restriction breeds creativity" apparently was a lie.
>>253304241
>Try to get anyone here to actually play an NES, especially the underaged faggots
plenty of people do that, ever heard of emulators, dickwad?
>>253304007
Shitting is the new way of saying "haterz"
Stop it. You don't like their opinions, that's all there is to it
Worth 5€, not 15€.
>>253304212
I'm really wondering. Most of the negative posts in this thread around about the quality of the game but that it's a "cheap ripoff" without really giving any details. I'd love a more intellectual post about the downsides of Shovel Knight. I just beat it so I'm all ears and I'm willing to be objective regardless of my feelings.
