    The most overhyped game I’ve seen over the past year, they’re pushing the PR so damn hard.

      It’s not their fault way too many people were so obsessed with their game that they made daily shitposts about it.

      Honestly I was annoyed by all of the Silksong stuff as well over the years, and perhaps it will be overhyped but after watching the trailer I feel like I can at least say Team Cherry put in the work that got me excited, despite all the internets noise. And why shouldn’t they try to get people to buy their game with good PR?

      The team is 3 or 4 people and after 7 years of work, they’re releasing their sequel game to a beloved by many indie hit for $20. In 2025. We shouldn’t be annoyed at them.

      Why “over”? Everybody I know is hyped, but they are in love with hollow Knight, so it’s expected. I don’t see reasons to believe the hype is too high.

      Don’t yuck someone’s yum. Thinking something tastes like shit does not mean you are welcome to take a dump in someone else’s porridge.

      I think if you can overhype a game to the point where clueless people like tomiant@programming.dev are inventing PR, by not saying anything, that’s a pretty big achievement.

      Just say Hollow Knight was too hard for you. It’s OK.

        There’s no need for the other person to yuck anyone’s yum, but this argument sucks too, in all of its forms.

      What PR? The only PR Team Cherry did was make and release a damned good Metroidvania.

      Since then, and uptil now, it’s mostly been silence.

      Weird, huh, how fans can get excited to play a good game?
