Not really a surprise considering it's a 2D game, but I'm excited anyways.

This will be a day one purchase considering the amazing price I got Hollow Knight for.

Am I the only one who thinks Hollow Knight was just an ok game?

[–] lime@feddit.nu 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

no, i'm with you. not going to tell others what they can enjoy though, i'm excited for them to have fun

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

not going to tell others what they can enjoy though,

Cool, me neither.

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I however, will be telling everyone that they're not allowed to enjoy it

This will be a day 2 purchase after I steal it from some nerd who got it day 1.

[–] oyo@lemmy.zip 10 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Yeah steal from a small game studio that took their time to release a polished, complete, labor of love without early access or Kickstarter bullshit.

[–] dukemirage@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

There are amazing gems out there that got that way by releasing it first in early access, or that only got a budget via kickstarter. Those are legitimate tools despite foul apples.

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

he said day 2 purchase though. I always buy stuff after pirating if its good. Lets me play without the stress of achievements and their potential to cause spoilers too. He just knows what will inevitably happen

[–] dukemirage@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Yep no other way to disable achievements.

[–] overload@sopuli.xyz 6 points 4 days ago

Don't pirate this one, if that's what you're getting at

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

How do you steal something you've purchased? What am I missing?

[–] hedgehog@ttrpg.network 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You have it backwards.

  • Day 2 Purchase
  • Day 1 “Theft”

Chronologically, the “theft” comes first. And you can easily purchase something you previously stole.

Theft is in scare quotes because piracy isn’t theft and I’m assuming OP isn’t going to actually steal someone’s Steam Deck, Switch, or Switch game cartridge… but maybe I’m wrong.

(Also you could “steal” it after purchasing it by buying on one platform and pirating it on another, but that’s a separate matter.)

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Yeah, that's what I thought as well, but I figured a confirmation wouldn't hurt because the phrasing seemed unusual.

[–] DonutsRMeh@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

I have the same question.
