Why did Hollow Knight fail?

The Hollow Knight failed because it wasn't truly hollow, developing an "idea" and emotional bonds with the Pale King (its creator/father), which allowed the Radiance (the source of the Infection) to influence it, breaking the seal. The core reason was the Pale King's flawed plan, as raising a vessel, even to seal away a god, instilled feelings and thoughts, making the vessel imperfect and susceptible to the Infection it was meant to contain, leading to the eventual downfall of Hallownest.

Is Hall of Gods needed for 112%?

Hall of Gods is entirely optional. You need to beat Pantheons 1-4 for 112% and Pantheon 5 for the "Embrace the Void" chieve. Nope, just need 107% in the rest of the game, and beat the first 4 pantheon (1% each for the first 3, 2% for the 4th IIRC). The fifth is there for challenge, lore and braggin rights.

What are AAA and AAAA games?

AAA games are big-budget, heavily marketed blockbusters with top-tier production, while AAAA (or AAA+) is an unofficial, emerging category for ultra-massive titles pushing technology and budgets even further, often incorporating extensive live-service models, massive team efforts, or budgets exceeding typical AAA ($100M+). The key difference is scale: AAA is the standard for big studios (e.g., GTA V, The Last of Us), whereas AAAA signifies a game that transcends even that, potentially costing hundreds of millions or requiring massive cross-studio collaboration.
