Re: Shovel Knight: Plauge of Shadows - Perfect health OR The Knight Before!
Oh no, now I have to watch the original Shovel Knight playthrough as I missed it last time around. Though, from what I've heard about the game, that should be pretty fun so I'm not complaining.

Concerned about some of the crazy technical jumps this game requires, and eager to see how they're gonna be flummoxed through :D

Here's the thread of raocow's LP of it (and unfortunately, my terrible thread title theme of it).

So, is he just gonna play PoS, or the other DLC too?

Re: Shovel Knight: Plauge of Shadows - Perfect health OR The Knight Before!
In the latest Patapon video he asks for folks' opinions on whether he should play the latest DLC immediately after PoS, or wait before doing so. So I think it's less a question of "will he play" the latest, and more a question of "when will it be played."

Oh man, Plague of Shadows. The best version of Shovel Knight yet. At least, in my opinion...
Something goes here sometime.

Re: Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows - Black Plague OR Opening Knight!
PoS is the most unfortunate acronym for a game.
Plague man is probably the most powerful and fun out of all the playable characters.shovel knight and specter knight don't even half half the mobility and power that plague knight gets just starting out, and he only goes up from here.

Re: Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows - Unknown Warrior of Fiend
Oh man. raocow and Plague Knight go together like peanut butter and jelly, toast and butter... even rock and roll! This is going to be a real good playthrough. He gets it. He gets it perfectly, and I love it. raocow shouldn't have too much trouble here, even with 100% coins.
The town we're seeing tomorrow is pretty nice....
We have not seen the last of his laughter, I'm sure.

Re: Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows - Black Plague OR Opening Knight!
The bomb consisting of multiple parts seem like a really neat mechanic. Will be nice to see how that is used later.
Re: Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows - Black Plague OR Opening Knight!
So it's like you're Diddy Kong in one of the Smash games with the way you can boost or something? That's neat.

Re: Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows - Flowers of Antimony
So unfolds another tale of shovelbombery!
From my experiences playing the Switch version, I find Plague Knight to be the easiest of the campaigns (with SoT being a good second). Sure, Plague Knight isn't all that remarkable at first--low health and only the most basic of attacks. Once you really get going with the game, though, he's quite the wizard at flying through the land and murdering enemies. Shovel Knight can only go so far with his blade before needing to hit solid ground. That said, this campaign will make sure you're up to snuff with your platforming skills; its version of the treasure hordes are very tricky to deal with, for one thing. Plague of Shadows may not be the most original campaign, but it's still awesome in its own way.
Looking forward to seeing how raocow will react to the Village in tomorrow's episode!

Re: Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows - Black Plague OR Opening Knight!
Ooh, I'm excited for this one because I just recently played through these games myself. I'm watching through the original Shovel Knight now because I didn't want to spoil the game for myself when he first played it.
I'm interested to see how raocow fares with Plague Knight. Shovel Knight plays a lot closer to Mario, raocow's bread and butter, while Plague Knight is completely different. I also think that raocow sometimes goes for a "play better, not smarter" approach to this game, which might do him a disservice with Plague Knight. I see a lot of people here saying that Plague Knight is the easiest of the three, but personally I found Spectre Knight easier by far (I barely died at all in that one).
Also, quote from episode 13 of his original series:
"I want to play a version of this game that's like, three times longer"
Glad to see that's more or less the case now.
I'm amazed at how many background details raocow is able to notice when playing games like this.

Re: Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows - Black Plague OR Opening Knight!
I've been binging on this recently. Oh man, I am so excited this game is so much fun. Flying through the air is a blast (Heh)
Also, I dunno about the rest of the game, but up to the third leg so far and yeah you only ever get Cipher Coins from exploration. Never from beating certain conditions like "beat boss X times with Y health" or whatever.

Re: Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows - Black Plague OR Opening Knight!
Still haven't gotten around to playing this, but I'm going to watch anyway. The LP for the base game was way too fun to miss out.
Re: Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows - Black Plague OR Opening Knight!
Nah, Diddy's rocket boost in smash is controllable in a direction, this is more akin to bombjumping as a demoman in TF2, where once you detonate, it launches you and the momentum stops you from turning on a dime midair.
Its not well noted in the game, but you can save your double jump until after you bombjump, and in doing so, can hang in the air long enough to charge another bombjump. This is extremely important for recovery as it lets you jump back onto a ledge if you miss, cross a large gap you normally couldn't , or to save yourself from falling in spikes.

Almost immediately. He says it's a bit weird, but by the end of the video he's cackling with joy and bursting around and loving it.
And no.

Re: Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows - Black Plague OR Opening Knight!
At release, you could just bomb jump and fly forever by doing this. It was RIDICULOUSLY FUN but it got patched. And it also hurt my hands.Tenlade wrote: ↑7 years ago Its not well noted in the game, but you can save your double jump until after you bombjump, and in doing so, can hang in the air long enough to charge another bombjump.

HOWEVER! I've heard that there's a ingame cheat code that reenables it since it was so much fun.
Re: Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows - Black Plague OR Opening Knight!
The same way he handles all customization: he'll find one combo he likes well enough early on and never change to anything else.
