R.I.P. (Dead Thread)

I made this thread more than a year ago and apparently people are still commenting so... I'm killing it.

In this game you have a WHOPPING two ways to interact with the world, shoveling and pogoing. If you find two options too complex, perhaps video games are not the hobby for you.

So, you don't like that you have to use trial and error?

Welcome to the spoiled kids of today. Shovel Knight is a sendback to the NES days; where NOTHING was explained to you; the key point is die, and learn from your mistakes. Don't come onto the forums whining about how the game makes you experiment; because gamers who grew up on this style of gameplay will give you no sympathy. It's refreshing to have a game that actually provides a challenge and doesn't auto-save every 2 seconds and give you baby step tutorials.

Experiment with items in safe places like the village so you can learn what they do; than go to an easy stage like "The Passage" and test it out to see what's different.

Not to be a Shovel Knight elitist or anything.
But the game isn't even hard. Or very cryptic either for that matter.
The only thing I could legit expect someone would use a guide for is on a few of the secrets. But even then, very few of them are actually difficult to find.

Reminds me of how some people complains in the Hand of Fate forum.
Suddenly the last boss is actually fairly difficult and the cry babies come out and demand full heals, stronger weapons and less attacks that do less damage.

Go play Legacy of the Wizard on the NES. Then tell me how annoying this game's features are.

don't worry your not stupid, shovel kinght isn't for everyone, but, to quote dark souls, u clod git gud

The "cryptic key combo" being attacking and jumping on a bush? You just attack it once and then pogo. That's not even a combo.

Did you not read the op? I said I do experiment but nothing of substance happens. I beat King knight but I got stuck on specter knight cuz those bush things were confusing af. It's hard to experiment while you have to parkour and avoid unkillable ghost things and if you fall it's an insta death. I said I wasn't expecting it to hold my hand but there are multiple parts where I spend an hour trying to figure up how to get up to an impossible ledge while being chased by mobs.

This part you had to do it twice midair which I didn't even know was possible until I watched a play through

No I'm not complaining its hard, but I get stuck on areas where there are no indications on how I'm supposed to progress. I don't want to game to tell me, but a few indicators would help.

[Shucks]

Hey man, it's probably just you aren't used to platformers to be honest. It happens and it can be frustrating at times. I think you should keep shoveling at the game because I'm only like 5 hours in and I can already say it's an amazing game.

Once you get used to the mechanics and and get a feel for your little shovel bro you'll do much better :). Keep at it my friend, don't worry about the negativity in this thread, everyones a different type of gamer. Goodluck!
