    I've gotten maybe 90% through this game and had no idea you could volley back the enemies' projectiles. It was the mechanic I never knew.

    this video wasn't bad, but it was super misleading with the title. I was expecting something akin to game theory in which you tell us there was a hidden meaning in the game, or a secret many lets players overlook. really all you did was explain the basic plot make jokes and tell us many games it borrowed great ideas from. it wasn't bad, I'm sure someone who never played the game or watched a lets play would find it informative, but to someone whos seen it beginning to end, you say anything that they would already know.

      @mathphysicsnerd 9 років тому +6

      +wildwesleywest I agree, I was quite disappointed with the lack of analysis of the game. Heck, I feel like *I* could write a better Shovel Knight hypothesis video.

    • @Ghost-nv9lb
      @Ghost-nv9lb 8 років тому +2

      this show is meant to explain the meaning behind the story, so it is kind of the story you never knew... just like the title.

      @NoNameC68 8 років тому +3

      He reiterated the plot. Nothing I didn't know, nor was it anything cryptic. The only thing many players may have learned were the game's influences.

    "We're a quarter of the way through the Order of No Quarter. Only three quarters of the Order of No Quarter left. Ugh, that was a mouthful - OF QUARTERS!!! Oh god I can't believe I have to say this shit!"
    "That is probably the stupidest thing we've ever written. THIS'LL REALLY FUCK WITH HIM!!!"
    Best part of the video.

    Truly one of the best games I've ever played. I'm not even saying this because of nostalgia, because I wasn't even around in the 90's! This game is awesome, and so are you, Treecicle.

  • @DemiTrusdale3

    If you played the game (hopefully you have), what was your favorite stage? Mine was The Tower Ascent because of the epic boss rush!

    • @N3rd_House

      I liked Tinker Knight's Stage purely because of the music.
      Gameplay-wise though, probably Mole Knight's stage.

    • @dilascio2491
      @dilascio2491 9 років тому +3

    • @Naito9874
      @Naito9874 2 роки тому +1

      Il french, since very young, I've always heard "Pas de quartier", or "Pas de quartier, pas de pitié!" in tv shows, cartoons etc...
      Which literally means "No quarter", and "No quarter, no mercy!"
      So it always felt like common knowledge to me

    I say this about Shovel Knight all the time, but I feel it best describes it. Shovel Knight is like that perfect nostalgic memory of old school games, only instead of disappointing you it lives up to the memory. Simply an awesome game that outdose its more expensive competition by going back to a simpler time.

    I wanted to say you should do an update on this because the two expansions really add to the story, but seeing as this was already kind of a sub par "the story you never knew" as shovel knight's story isn't convoluted and is a little simple, it probably wouldn't be the best idea.
    Still though! If you put something out after the King Knight DLC comes out, I'd love to watch it :)

      My Friends No, although if you have the amiibo then you don't really need exclusive bosses. Especially for the Wii U, where the amiibo gives multiplayer (my one playthrough on the Wii U was a multiplayer playthrough with the new items and stuff and I must say, trying to play through the levels with someone constantly trying to screw you over at every turn is something all right).

    And personally, I fucking hope this was the beginning of a gaming renaissance. I don't hope that "insane graphics, complicated gameplay" games go away, but it'd be amazing to have a return to simplicity.

    I was really disappointed that you left out the dream sequences, they added so much more to the plot of the game. In the beginning you see shovel knight crippled and depressed over Shield Knight being lost within the tower of fate. And on this journey during the dream sequences, you see how much she really means to shovel knight. Every dream that he has, he pushes away these various enemies, his fears, his obstacles to try and catch her, to reunite with his lost lover. It's these sequences that make shovel knight's quest seem so much more noble, it's these sequences that make Sheild knight's "You caught me..." hit you right in the feels.
    If you look at a game like Mario, you know that he's off to save the princess, but they never mention it. You never see how much she really means to Mario, she's just sort of a end point of the game, not really a goal to strive for. But with Shovel Knight, you see how much he misses her, and how much he wants to be with her again, that it gives your adventure so much more meaning. Saving Shield Knight isn't just an end point of the game like Peach is, it's a goal, it's a goal you want to strive for because it has so much more emotion behind it, and I think that's one aspect of the game that they nailed so hard, the emotional impact of the story.

    I have to say, after changing the genders of Shovel Knight and Shield Knight, I got super confused by the Enchantress being Shield Knight. Thanks for summarizing that

    Where a lot of indie games are trying (a little too hard I feel) to be masterful works of art that revolutionize the industry and/or be highbrow narratives of drama and psychology, Shovel Knight realizes that before a game can be a good work of "art," it needs to be a good game first. And it nails it flawlessly, while still being able to put its own twist on classic gaming.
    Moody, in-depth, mind-blowing story? Aside from a big plot twist, not really. Genre-defining gameplay unlike anything ever seen before? No, of course not. But Shovel Knight doesn't need any of that to be amazing. It's just a really fun, heartfelt game, which makes it a work of art in its own right. And in that, I think there's a lot that many would be indie-developers can learn from Shovel Knight.

    Shovel Knight is an amazing game, and the developers are doing DLCs the right way! Yacht Club is maybe a small indie studio, but big game behemoths like EA and Activision has alot to learn from Yacht Club when it comes to DLC release and content.
    Each Shovel Knight DLC has been almost, if not as big as the original standard game, and it all was given for free to people who already owned the original game, even if the DLC adventures was sold as seperate games.
