I am FINALLY Playing Hollow Knight! The Arrival to Dirtmouth | Blind Playthrough [Part 1]

[@supermilordo5153]

Hi, Macolops. I'm an "old" silent fan per se'. Been following you since 2020-2021 and I'm writing this comment to say, thank you. No, really, thank you. From the bottom of my soul, thank you very much. You captured me since the start of your Dark soul series and through all your genuines blind playthroughs. From the dark and sad stories with Siegmeyer, to the fucking awesome adventures with Gordon freeman and Aperture Science to the chill and spectacular Spidermans. I say this with such pride in my chest, you're one of the most sincere youtuber/content creator that I ever seen, when approaching blind to a game and it's beautiful. I really love it and it's hard to find on the internet these days people like you. After the terrible year of 2020 and a tragic event that sent me on the hospital, you fill my days with happiness ever since. Now everytime I see you starting a new serie on a videogame I'm interested, I bring pop corns or chips with some drink and stay glued to the screen, enjoying the hell out of it. And now...Hollow Knight...what a better gift for me, if not Hollow Knight. Played...I don't know even anymore how much ahahah xD One of my best favourite games. Really passionate about it and been playing it since 2018, with 400 hours in total. I'm really really experienced with it and always love it to see new people blind diving into it (helped and supported a lot of people and friends online with the game). I see you preceded me about the spoilers. Yeahhh... do you remember the feelings and experiences with the Souls series? It's that, but x1000 stronger. These types of games need the best blind playthroughs as possible or you'll be ruined with certain knowledge. You'll understand but I guess you already figured out. I'm not really really into backseating. I really don't like it. But in case you want some hints, as always without spoilers, just ask and i'll be gladly ready to help. This is the best introduction to the metroidvania genre, you will not regret it!!! And YES my expections of you playing Hollow knight are VERY VERY HIGH!!! Aahahha! I'm really super excited!! At last, unfortunately I can't support you via Patreon for private life difficulties but I know you try as human as possible, to read all comments. I know some people do this on KZbin, so I'll try to do it too as best I can. I'll try to pin as fast as I can when a video is out: all of your achievements, unfinished business and major point of interest of the video. Hollow knight is a GIANT game, so this is the best help and support I can give you. I hope you will love it!!!! In the end thanks to accompany us since 2020, thanks for the fantastic reactions, thanks for the laughs and thanks for everything! Good luck!!!

Hi everyone! Please do not leave any tips, advice or backseating; I wish to avoid spoilers completely, I do not want out of context "make sure you do this/please don't do this/make sure you talk to bugboy69 before you enter the cave of bug" comments ahead of time as I like to go through my playthroughs completely blind. I'd really appreciate you all letting me enjoy this journey through not only my first Metroidvania, but my very special time in this highly recommended game. I hope you enjoy the series, and I'm excited to share this with you finally. :)

[@boukh_h]

I’m sorry but Nioh fucking sucks

[@LordParticle]

Hey Mapo, if you're into these types of games, I recommend trying Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight. It's short and sweet, so it'll only take a few episodes to complete, but there's also an unlockable impossible mode where pretty much everything one shots you.

[@Truestoned0]

If you end up liking the metroidvanias style "Blasphemous" should be another one you play

[@caravaneerkhed]

You have such a great community since the majority of us are here for this type of playthrough and tend to honor the spoiler free playthrough!

[@midnial]

I was waiting for this playtrough since you finished Demon's Souls Mapo, thanks

[@Krammy5]

This will be great, the fact that this is completely blind in every way possible, is super exciting. I think I can speak for many of us that it's exactly what we hoped for, this game is truly special and I am sure you will come to understand why Also no spoilers guys please :) let him adventure and explore everything himself

[@Potatezone]

You mentioned simple but effective enemy design in terms of the horned charger guy, another really cool design choice is that the beginning crawlers look VERY sharp! It helps to dissuade people from trying to Mario jump everything straight from the beginning. So many beautiful details in this game.

The coolest thing about Hollow Knight to me is how despite being $20, it kept getting free DLC-sized updates for years. I think it's a big part of why it did so well, it kept getting news and sales from that.

$15 actually!

The HK community can be *passionate* so I hope they won't be too unbearable. You usually go above and beyond when it comes to exploring and really digging deep into a game. But even if you don't this time for some reason, there is still lots to love and look forward too! Enjoy!

[@CMnesia14]

Been following your content for a few months now, and your thorough exploration of the games you play always have me engaged. I love hearing your thoughts on the subjects presented to you in these games. Seeing this pop up on my feed -- one of my favorite games of all time -- put the biggest smile on my face. Have fun, I know I will!

Omg do my senses deceive me?! Dude, I’m SO hyped to see my favourite gamer play one of my favourite games. No doubt you’ve received an inane amount of pestering to play this but I really think it will be right up your street! And I hope people will not tell you too much where to go, what to use etc. bc it’s essential that you have a truly blind experience 👌

This is probably the play-through I've wanted the most ever since I spotted Hollow Knight in your intro reel. I love the souls games and all, but experiencing Hollow Knight blind for the first time is an experience like no other. I'd give almost anything to brain wipe the game and experience it again. I can only have the second best thing, which is watching you play it. I am PLEADING with the people in the comments.... don't spoil this game for him.

Oh. My God. YES. Thank you so much!! HK was onde of my First Metroidvania games too, but its perfectly doable for a newcomer to the genre. Just be patient with yourself and take your time to adjust to the controls. HK is very much about the journey, and the HK community finds It enjoyable to simply expectate one's Discovery/learning curve. It's like watching a travel vlog haha. No need to rush. I've been in around your channel long enough to be positive that you will love this one.

[@Retro_Rainer]

i feel like the hk community, similar to dark souls's, can be pretty obnoxious. i've seen so many comments on other blind playthroughs that are extremely backseaty and spoilery, all in the name of "the best experience". maybe it's a vocal minority, but that's the picture i got.

[@xsithspawnx]

Yo, so excited to watch you play this. Good luck with your journey through Hallownest! I really enjoyed your Dark Souls and Elden Ring (and Mass Effect) playthroughs and I think you'll have a great time with Hollow Knight! It's easily one of my favorite games of all time and it actually served as the game that helped convince me to really try the Dark Souls and other From Soft games in the first place after sleeping on them for so long. Going through this game blind for the first time is truly an experience like few others I can think of, and something I only wish that I could do again. Watching other people experience it blind is the next closest I can get though, so here we are. Anyways, enjoy!!

A quick note for comments: don't worry too much if you see a few frustrated commenters talking about you "missing" things. You're going to get lost a lot in this game, and that's what makes it fun! Every playthrough though, this small crowd shows up which gets frustrated that you don't magically know where everything is immediately. Ignore them, because everyone is actually watching Hollow Knight playthroughs to relive that lost wonder feeling which can only ever happen on the first run.

It's so amazing to see you playing this gem of a game! I appreciate your thorough and lore interested gameplay, so I hoped you would play it sometime. Of course no pressure for this playthrough still, there are probably always things one would miss, most important is you enjoy the game. 😄 Hollow Knight was my first of this type of 2D Metroidvania games and I had not much expectations, but I was really surprised how quickly it got my full attention and how fun it would be. The inspirational touch of the Souls series certainly helps a lot, that's probably why the Souls community enjoys it as much.

[@willfergus8408]

This was really fun! Never seen you before but I always enjoy watching people try Hollow Knight for the first time so I'll definitely be back for more! Who knows, maybe I'll check out your other stuff too. The decision not to buy the compass is certainly a brave one. I suppose we'll see how long you stick with that!

I'm so excited for this!!! This game is incredibly beautiful and a journey like almost no other... I can't wait to see you go through the story, discovering this incredible world. What a great way to start 2023!
