Ehhhh, not a big fan of the KoC ending (spoilers)

[: D]

I'm all for deviating from the whole "everything's alright" cliche ending but King Knight's ending was so unsatisfying compared to the other 3 Knights. There wasn't any development at all during the campaign, and no plot twist to speak of at the end.

And the epilogue is so lacking as well, it's just "eh, now I got a castle, oh look its Shovel time".

I definitely don't enjoy characters who are extremely selfish and narcissistic like King Knight, but the ending didn't feel as bad to me after that final part. He worked so hard to finally have his kingdom, and Shovel Knight appears to dethrone him immediately, just as he deserves.

So you're annoyed that the game didn't have an eye-rolling plot twist at the end? I don't know what you expected. King Knight is an arrogant, evil idiot and he acts like that the entire game. Plus we all know how his arc ends so it's not like it was going to go some other way. This is what happens when people demand to play as the villain. You get to PLAY AS THE VILLAIN, with all the good and bad that comes with it.

I've seen a few gripes here and I have no idea what people really expected. Did you really want some dumb happy ending with everyone dancing in a circle while holding hands? Why this need to have an ending that is just like every other ending out there?

I loved how he stayed true to this and never deviated and clearly couldn't care less about anything about his own needs. And his response to Cardia is priceless.

Yes, I thought this is exactly what the Epilogue is supposed to convey.

I disagree. I like when the protagonists in video games are complete assoles, I liked King Knigth, and I really loved the end, basically explains why some things are as they are in the future, it feels you know, like a prequel . What did you expect? That King Knigth betrayed his own personality and became good at nothing? I think it is established from previous games that he is not a good guy to start. I also like his story when I look back in retrospect with others, an idiot who wanted wealth and power, but he was strong, in the end he had what he always wanted on the basis of "betraying" people, and at the end of the day, heronically He became very weak for being a slacker, and now he was defeated all the time and in the end he ended up in the same position as those people he betrayed and now has less than at the beginning.

It's also legitimately unique to be able to play an ACTUAL bad guy. There's a lot of "anti-heroes" out there but they all eventually do the right thing but not here. I loved it. I don't get why folks would be annoyed by a character that is actually unique. Folks want the same thing every time?

It really depends on how evil the protagonist is, while normally it depend how interesting the person is as a character, however there is a line that most people will not cross for varies reasons, at the very least, it would be distasteful.

[Evan Ninetales]

I kind of agree. At the very least, King Knight could have told his mom to take care of everyone after King Pridemoor leaves, showing that he does at least sort of appreciate them.

At the very least, King Knight could have told his mom to take care of everyone after King Pridemoor leaves, showing that he does at least sort of appreciate them.

But he doesn't care about them at all. That would fly in the face of the character.

Why the need to nerf his character in this way? So the audience can feel fuzzy for five seconds? Not worth it.
