so what are you waiting for right now?

0:20 yooo Daily Silksong News! There's where I get my Silksong news!

i finally got around to playing breath of the wild (four years late) and have now gained +1 suffering waiting for the sequel

"Did you wait for Silksong?" "Yes." "What did it cost?" *"No cost too great."*

I appreciate the fact that when you talked about "a good wait", you showed a clip from the beginning of Portal 2's long nap. It's those kind of small edits that make me appreciate the quality of your videos both in commentary and editing.

I was SO WORRIED about the angelinas. Thank god you took them off the oven

When you wait for a new book for so long that when it's finally come out, you have to start reading the first book all over again because you've forgotten most of its story.

This video is 2 years old, with a silksong thumbnail. And no we still haven't got silksong

A while ago I stopped saying "I can't wait for !" and started saying "I'm looking forward to ." Learning to appreciate the feeling of anticipation is better for me than wishing time would pass faster.

The composer of hollow knight is so good that even just the two samples he posted of the stuff he's working on for silksong completely revitalized my soul.

Your title and thumbnail spoke to me in a way I didn’t think was possible

"Time dissipates enthusiasm." is another good quote to match Patrick Rothfuss' phrase. Anticipation has a critical breakpoint where it no longer excites a person, and starts to frustrate them.

“A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad” - Shigeru Miyamoto Remember lads, the wait is worth it.

It's a great feeling when you discover an already completed series you like and you don't have to wait years for the next installment

He was talking about the excitement dying and I was like, "Yeah I can see that with a lot of people, but generally games I get excited about I stay excited about." and then he showed the Elder Scrolls 6 teaser and I cried

I think a part of the "souring" comes from previous disappointment. It's not just being impatient, or having expectations, it's also knowing that the thing might _never_ happen. Sometimes your favorite show goes a year between seasons (or episodes, thanks Milo Murphy's Law), and other times it ends on a cliffhanger (Thanks, Scorpion) with the promise of another season next month... 6 months from now... nine months... 1 year... we haven't cancelled it yet... keep waiting. Besides, for various reasons, the longer a project takes, the less likely it is to get finished.

it makes me really sad that im starting to forget about silksong more and more, ocasionally reminding myself when checking out my steam wishlist although i know when i finally get to play it, it will be one of my favorite games, 100%

You never seen the Silksong pain until you see their Discord server whenever Nintendo makes any type of announcement.

This video is very timely, considering ConcernedApe just announced a spiritual sequel to Stardew Valley called "Haunted Chocolatier"... with no release date in sight. PAIN

The path of pain was actually just preparing us for waiting for silksong.

"The Great Ace Attorney" is a game in the Ace Attorney franchise that was announced years ago and thanks to the nature of the series in the west and how localisation was, a lot of people wrote it off. I however, was unbelievably hyped for the game despite knowing full well how small the chances were of it ever coming to the west. The trailers that came out for it were simply so unbelievably well put together that I simply didn't allow myself to give up hope on it. Many people had eventually created a fan translation and enjoyed that instead, but I wanted it in my hands to play myself. It felt silly, but also to me, felt like the right thing to do for myself as a fan of the series. Of course, like any human, I eventually stopped thinking about it and even a sequel to it was announced with equal minimal chances at a western release, pretty much confirming to me that it wouldn't happen... Even so, I refrained from spoiling anything about it to myself other than a few sound tracks which were already known to me thanks to the trailers they were in already, but with at least "Spirit of Justice" (Ace Attorney 6) being a new game that western fans could still enjoy, I stayed a solid fan and went about with other things. Lo and behold, after nearly 7 years of waiting since its initial announcement, "The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles", a game which contained BOTH previously unreleased, unlocalised games in one package, was announced and soon then released for the west, containing both options for english and japanese voices. It was one of the happiest moments in my life. A game that quite honestly didn't feel like it SHOULD have existed in my hands is finally mine. Being a western Ace Attorney fan practically meant being conditioned to the nature of the series and what it's history of localisation meant, but somehow they did it. They knew fans still wanted it over here, and they delivered.

Silksong has been my most anticipated game for nearly 3 years. The long wait actually makes me more excited for it. I have complete faith in Team Cherry, and I’m so looking forward to all of the love, care, and extra content they’re putting into this game.

There's a time period when waiting for a game that I like to call "waiting to wait for it". It is essentially the time between the reveal of a game and its release date being announced. I find that waiting to get hype for a game until its release date has been announced helps keep in check any self-made expectations, and keeps yourself from being disappointed by the game you get when it releases. I'm currently doing this with a lot of games, Risk of Rain 2's dlc being the one foremost in my mind. I recommend trying it out.

I’ve recently realized that I often get more joy out of the waiting for something, than I do from when it actually happens. I will spend hours contemplating, and analyzing an important decision before acting on it, and the part I enjoy the most is the anticipation because I can drag it out as long as I like. But once the decision is made, the time to enjoy it is finite and fleeting.

"Don't get married to what's in your head, you're never gonna get exactly what you imagine anyways, and sometimes other people can bring something to a project that you never could've thought of." Stephan Krosecz, 'Pirates of the Caribbean - Accidentally Genius' video, 7:45 Concerned Ape recently announced a new game in production, and that was it for me. But this time, Im going in as open-minded as I can be. Whatever it is, I hope I enjoy it.

I can attest to the dangers of overhyping. You think of something so much and you get so excited for it, but its usually not what you are expecting and its a truly crushing feeling.

More like the pain of waiting for more Razbuten videos

deltarune chapter 2 was like a breath of fresh air after waiting for 3 years, i finished the game in one sitting. but now its kinda sad now ill have to wait 2-3 years for the next 3 chapters but at least since theres 3 chapters coming out all at once ill have a lot of content

Two years later, elden ring and TotK have already released and still, we wait for Silksong

"Unless it still isn't out by then..." You just had to voice my worst fear, didn't you?

Plot twist, this video was paid for by Team Cherry to help placate the masses to buy them more time. Seriously though, I just recently got into Hollow Knight earlier this year on and off. I'm back into it and I almost forgot how much I love it. I still have a ways to go to complete but at least I don't have to wait as long as others have for Silksong.

2 years later, youtube has recommended this video to me again. We're still waiting.

still waiting for silksong 💀

A friend of mine introduced me to The Kingkiller Chronicles at a birthday party, when he bought me the first two books. He called them the best fantasy he'd ever read, and at the time, I'd have agreed with him. Now, having read more and learned more about myself, I know what my favorite fantasy book is. But Name of the Wind and Wise Man's Fear will always hold a special place in my heart. My friend died a few years ago. He never got the chance to read Doors of Stone. Whether or not it's as good as the first two, whether or not it's everything the fans want it to be, I'm still looking forward to reading it. For his sake, as well as my own.

Just wanted to chime in and say how much I enjoy your work. :)

Talking about the sequel to one of my favourite games AND quoting my favourite novel in one video - instant thumbs up! Thanks for making the wait a bit more bearable :)

You know what I'd like to experience some day? A game being announced and it's release being right around the corner. That'd blow my mind, honestly. Like, GTA 6 video dropping now and then at the end revealing the release date is next month. Or can you imagine how the internet would explode if they dropped a release trailer now and it ended to the words; "OUT NOW" lol. Sure, that little heads up would likely not produce the amounts of profits they want (then again... it just might for a title big enough), but.. still, it would be nothing short of mindblowing to a gamer. But the bottom line; I kiiinda have grown to dislike when devs announce a game and then we wait for who-knows-how-many-years. I see barely any benefit from wait times that long. It hasn't really worked well recently for devs/publishers either, with them having to promise something to appease the anxiously squirming crowds, then delaying, angering people, then rushing to release and delivering a turd. For me though, a release date that is missed is much worse than not knowing a release date. Like for example, now I'm waiting for Little Devil Inside and that missed it's release date and hasn't given any info. But.. I kinda prefer them to not give out info, if they don't have anything certain to promise about the game's release. It's wait is currently on hold. I'm not feeling much hype, I'm not feeling resentment, I just take a little glance every now and then and then return to do other stuff. For example, I'll much rather just idle without a date for 5 months and then hear it'll release in a month, than now hear that it releases in 6 months. Knowing I'll have to wait for 6 months feels significantly longer than just being in a state of not having it on my mind constantly and then having to wait 1 conscious month. Though, seems I'm alone on that, as many people are really hoping for any info about that game.

I don’t like a certain amount of what Dunkey says, but he made a good point about people getting antsy and pushy about people wanting to buy/play new games. Basically, I recommend playing some old and more classic games instead just waiting, being impatient for and/or paying a bunch for new games.

I used to wait for games when I was younger because you tend to stick to series that you have an attachment to and they become your most hyped games. But over time, after playing many, many more games, I tend to occupy myself with different ones instead of waiting in anticipation for one big game every year or so, and I think this is a good way to deal with it for impatient people, especially if you don't want to be let down by huge expectations.

well boys, silksong actually exist, and is coming day one on gamepass, it's getting released within 1 year.

As a game dev... it really hurts when my game takes years to be completed. Its tough for everyone. Especially in croudfunding

People ask me sometime when I think Silksong might be released, and I always tell them that I really try to not predict the date anymore, or set myself any expectations. In 2019 I thought it would be released in late 2019, in late 2019 I thought early 2020, then I thought late 2020 and so on and it's just a pattern we set ourselves that never ends. It's a running gag in the HK community that every time a new Nintendo Direct or and Indie World is being announced, we already prepare ourselves for the worst and spam clown/copium memes, and looking back at 2019 times, if you were to predict that Silksong would still be in development at the start of 2022, people would call you a huge pessimist and stuff. So in short, yea I can absolutely agree with you to not set ourselves expectations since it can just make us more upset when the devs don't meet the expectations the fans made.

This video released at the same time as the daily silk song updates. Brilliant.

I've been waiting for Doors of Stone for quite some time by now, and while I agree with the notion that a creator doesn't owe anything to his fans, once you announce you will be releasing a trilogy there is an implicit promise that a third book will come out, that's why I think a lot of people harbor so much resentment for the man.

I’m glad I follow KZfaqrs and creators who infrequently post. It really gave me patience growing up. I would see a post made by them and get excited again. Or maybe I can leave it and binge their works after a while. It doesn’t mean I don’t get excited by things and become extremely disappointed when it doesn’t work out but time really tempers me and makes me appreciate other pieces in life.

That was the best sponsorship transition I've seen in a long time. Because it wasn't just surprise wordplay like "--speaking of listening, this video is sponsored by Audible" or whatever; it was actual set up and payoff, and even kind of tied in to the theme of the video with patience. Anyways, I'm really hyped for Billie Bust Up, Hyperbolica, and Hazbin Hotel.

I recently witnessed expectations take over someone's feelings on a game. My friends and I played Metroid Dread and loved it, but some of them they had a lot of criticisms about things that they felt define Metroid. My cousin and I who played all the older games in the lead up to Dread were way happier with what we got. I definitely think that my cousin and I were far more open minded, since we didn't let our minds run wild and spent more time playing games rather than thinking about them.

I just came back here to say that I've been subscribed to your channel for perhaps more than a year now (really don't remember when I found you), and even though KZfaq don't always recommend your videos, and you get kinda suppressed by all my other subscriptions, your channel is one of my favorite channels, I can say it's probably on my top 5. I love your work and I find myself now and then watching old videos of yours since you don't post that often hehehe. Love you bro, love your content, don't ever feel the need to rush your content just to stay on the KZfaq's algorithm. ❤️

I remember hearing the rumblings of a sequel to Metroid Fusion in 2008 and I remember being extremely excited for it, turns out those rumblings had already come up before and died down and over the next 13 years I had basically convinced myself that the last game I would ever get out of one of metroid series was Other M. Metroid Dread's announcement this summer completely blindsided me in the best way possible and I instantly got maybe more excited than I've ever been for a game and after a month sitting on it it's probably my favorite game to have been released since Nier Automata in 2017. I don't think there's any possible way that if it had come out in 2011 instead of Other M I would care about it so strongly, but having waited so long for it combined with it following up a particularly.... *controversial* game makes it all the sweeter that it came out and that it kicks ass

This video would age perfectly if Silksong gets a trailer tomorrow and drops straight away

This was very intriguing and you genuinely just changed the way I think about this topic. Really enjoyed this video, I haven't seen any of your videos before or heard of you and was recommended this video, probably because of the amount of HK content I've watched. But I'm now subscribed can't wait to see more videos from you.

This is so true this applies to basically everything not just games, it's kinda like The Promised Neverland season 2, everyone in the fandom was so hyped including myself for season 2 since as a manga reader, I am very excited to see the next story arc in motion, and I wanna see these characters to debut the anime, the whole fandom waited for 2 years and we were very disappointed with how it turned out, but atleast there are still some fans that actually enjoyed it, but this shows how painful waiting is when u also hyped it up, you will be either disappointed or very happy

Hollow Knight is special. After playing Metroid Dread, loving it, 100%ing it, I again realized just how special Hollow Knight truly is. I’m glad Team Cherry is taking the route they see fit for this new game. No release date pushbacks. No delays announced. Just making the game until it’s ready. I may drift further from the game as time passes, but replaying it, remembering it, brings me right back like I never left. So I will return when Silksong comes out. I will not go seeking out every Silksong video or messaging people on social media about release dates, because they truly made something special and I believe they can do it again, they just need to do it their way. Love you Team Cherry.

Totally felt that with the rebuild of Evangelion movies. When the fourth one came just recently, I long forgotten how excited I was for the next one to come, and didn't care anymore. Which is to say when I finally watched I remembered that feeling of excitement and why I love so much the series. You put very articulately into words that feeling I had and didn't quite know how to explain, great job!

5:00 man, I can't see that logo without thinking about how excited Ettika was for it, and knowing that he'll never get to see the finished game.

I saw this video ages ago but completely forgot to say how much I love your thumbnail for this video. Great job and looking forward to watching more of your content!

I love the use of the Kingkiller quote from the Name of the Wind, way too accurate (and ironic, considering the wait for book 3).

People waiting for Elder Scrolls VI be like : "I've been in this fight since I was 8 years old!"

I found this channel yesterday and it is already one of my favorite English-speaking youtube channels. Keep it going :D

dude, i'm never waiting for you to release a video, but when you do, gosh the joy

This has happened to me with Elder Scrolls 6. Skyrim was a huge part of my life for many years, but on top of Bethesda's recent fall from grace the lack of any tangible information about the next game in the series I love has left me looking for other things to place my passion into.

Thank you for this video. I’m a developer for a popular, unreleased game mod that was announced many months ago, and I’ve often gotten worried about people getting too excited for what me and my team have to offer. That is taking too long means we’ll end up having to satisfy ever-increasing expectations the longer development goes on for. This video gives me some hope for us, that we might still have time before most people’s expectations surpass our ability to satisfy them.

I actually saw the title and went damn, wonder what pretentious weird take this is going to be, but was actually very pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed your video. There's a beauty in waiting and hearing someone else put what I've been feeling lately into words felt good.

One of the best sponsor segues i have seen. Genuinely great dude

I think you failed to mention that silksong had a huge gameplay trailer on announcement and a playable e3 demo just a few months later. This is the main reason people thought it's gonna be soon, which made if more painful.

"when excitement becomes indifference" *THE WINDS OF WINTER has entered the chat*

It is incredible, that you manage to not only always get me with the games you are talking about, the music you are using and the things you are discussing but literally manage to even quote Books I've read (3:12) - Buddy, we are on the same page (pun intended)

It HAS been a 4 and a half (atleast) year wait now. RELEASE SILKSONG, the Reddit is literally going insane

Anyone who reads fantasy is used to it, thanks to two honorable gentlemen whose names shall remain unmentioned.

I just started to play Kingdom Hearts 3. I used to play every new title at release, was a fan from the very moment the Mickey Mouse magazine had stickers for the first game, and then... when Kingdom Hearts 3 came out, it was already way past my "sweet spot". I remained so indifferent about it that it has been gathering dust on my shelf since it released. Finally, today, I picked it up and started it, and I'm greatly enjoying the experience. I think it's for the better. I think back on how disappinted I was with Final Fantasy 15, which released in the middle of a personal hype high, and how much that brought my experience down. That's not gonna happen with Kingdom Hearts 3, because I have no expectations from it - besides to remind me of my childhood - and that already is happening.

I'm glad you talked about expectations for a moment. This honestly is the one thing I try to curb the moment I get excited about something. Excitement is A LOT of fun, but the moment you are creating expectations based on fiction you created yourself you often feel burned once the game releases. The amount of times that the things I would want in a certain franchise aren't added is way too high and destroys fun way to easily, so better to curb then hate the product that gets released.

The only thing about loosing your excitement over something, is that it is possible to get excited or fall in love with it all over again

No matter how high or low I try to make my expectations, I have no doubt the next chapters of Deltarune will be worth the wait. Toby Fox has made something truly special so far.

*This is just a long roundabout way of saying, "Patience will make you appreciate any gifts, rewards or struggles much more"*

I waited so long that I lost any expectations for Frankieonpc making another video. And then 5 years later he came out with a new video and I was not disappointed. He's back and better than I would have ever imagined.

This video is very accurate. I never hype myself up too much about things. I do like to think about what they could do but I always keep in mind that, it’s just a thought and possibility. It may not be an actual thing. I still look forward to SilkSong but I don’t think about it too much anymore. Usually if I lose hype in some manner on a game that hasn’t been shown in some time, I usually regain said hype once it is shown again. That’s just how I am anyway

"A kickstarter is not a guarantee that the game will come out" *sighs in miserable pile of American Mcgee's Alice: Asylum*

So many great games coming out next year, can't wait

I am waiting for a lot of new things to come out. And as trials in my life has taught me and i have learned from hardships i have discovered that active waiting when control is out of your hands is torture. If i have no control over something i just dont wait for it, if it comes out it comes out i am going to forget it is a thing untill it is out. I have forgotten about silksong for the last 6 months untill i saw this video.

I watch this video every time I think about silksong

This month actually, one of the longest games I've personally been waiting for comes out (SMT 5) and once a game starts really getting close is both exciting and like an itch you can't quite scratch yet. Definitely a weird thing overall.

Pieces of music from Hollow Knight are so nostalgic and bring me some hope that Silksong will be awesome

This has just made me rekindle my anxious wait for Silksong lol

7:02 I actually pogged when he mentioned psych. It's so underrated and it's always cool to see it in "the wild".

The older I get, the less attachment I get towards this and I've always enjoyed a story that knows how to wrap up the conclusion than having an open ended potential for a sequel. Just enjoy what's out there, there are way too many that'll keep you busy until more stuff comes out

Shout out to everyone who waited for Metroid: Dread since it was first rumored.

People talk about brilliant sponsor transitions, but the way you set it up… _*chef kiss_

"Well, it has only been 2.5 years since Silksong was announced ... for many it has felt like a 4.5 year wait" Now that it has been over 4 years since Silksong was announced, there are still those that hold on to their anticipation for a release date.

I can totally relate to this from waiting for games from the 90s and early 2000s but with the sheer breadth and quality of gaming around today there is always other stuff you could be enjoying.

The best way to avoid the sickening thought of waiting for something you're unsure will ever arrive is to become a Sanderson fan and follow his progress with the trackers he has set up on his website.

This was a great video! I have a lot of games im waiting for right now. Silksong, Elden Ring, Sons of the forest, Botw 2, Splatoon 3, Rdr1 pc port/remaster, and a Bloodborne pc port.

wow can we just appreciate for a second how smooth the introduction to the sponsorship was?!

It's a self-inflicting pain. I haven't even watched the video, but I have at least 7 games I want to play that already exist and I find no need to follow the news for incoming games. For any one of you reading this, I can guarantee there exist, easily, 20 games you'd love playing right now that you haven't yet. You only crave for upcoming games because you pay attention to marketing announcements. Ignore those and you'll be much more happy. And, if you run out games to play, just go for some "best games of year" or use "people who liked this game also liked that game" algorithms or check what some of your favorite game critics have been played for the last months and, voilà!, to-play list full again for some months.

I'm really hoping it works out that you can talk about the Echoes of the Eye at some point. I couldn't even have guessed at what a good DLC for such a wonderful game would have been, but they blew any expectations I had out the window again.

Thanks for setting a 10 minute timer on my phone lol

I love the setup for the ad that's so good lol

The wait for MGSV was what ultimately burned me out so much from hype cycles that I'm still kinda reeling from it 6 years later. It was so long and exhausting barrage of trailers, at some point it actually started to wear me down. Because of this, nowadays I think I subconsciously try to forget games I'm really looking forward to by concentrating on other things.

Hears "fifteen dollar title" and thinks, "That don't sound right." Then I remember I live in Canada and y'all got bigger dollars down there.

Hilarious you got Jacob to read that passage, when I've always assumed you two were twins that were separated at birth. Glad you two found eachother again

I’m currently waiting a few million years for the full release of a vr early access fighting game called blade and sorcery
