I don't like Dread that much so I hate using this example but let's just say hypothetically Dread was a 10/10 best Metroid game ever made, it is a god tier Metroidvania. Then despite being shorter, despite being more expensive, and despite faggot journalists not liking it as much, it would still be the better game at the end of the day.

Nintendo(tm) is the best! Metroid for GOTY!
>>
>>719564042
Honestly, I wonder if Metroid actually could have reached the same amount of quality that Hollow Knight if Nintendo (and other game companies) didn't so caught up in the "graphics" war. Trying to make 3D and "look better in 4k" caused games to get shorter an shorter. Eventually you reach point where you aren't paying for a game but movie with minimal gameplay as a bonus. Hollowknight's graphics and sprite are simple but that allowed the devs to put in way more content than an average Metroid game. I'm not saying one is better than the other, but, I do feel Nintendo's newer game have less content than their older games. Hollow Knight having more for less just highlights the issue with Nintendo in general rather than just simply being better than Metroid's current new game.
>>
>>719566487
But how would you feel if you had beaten Pure Vessel this morning?
>>
>>719564042
It's Metroid, not a RPG.
>>
>>719566631
I don't thin Nintendo would want to lower their standards like that.
>>
>>719566725
Looks like they already did, after all they released the inferior game.
>>
>>719566631
>I wonder if Metroid actually could have reached the same amount of quality that Hollow Knight if Nintendo (and other game companies) didn't so caught up in the "graphics" war.
The problem is that Hollow Knight isn't a good game. You can see the shades of a good game but it isn't there.
I mean, sure people wank how long it is but for a Metroidvania that just makes it feel tedious, especially with the amount of backtracking there is and how slow the knight is. Most Metroidvanias after Super figured out that both of those things are a bad combination which is why they tend to have a lot of short cuts, hub areas and have the player character start out with a fast moving speed.
I should also add that Hollow Night's bosses aren't particularly engaging since most of them can just be attacked whenever they're on screen, there's no "oh that's how you do it" moment.

>I do feel Nintendo's newer game have less content than their older games
That depends entirely on how you define content and by the look of it you don't actually have a definition.
>>
>>719564042

i had more fun with dread(played on yuzu)

paid 15 bucks for hollow knight and didn't enjoy for 30 minutes

Hopefully not Metroid. Metroid has retained a really high quality because it doesn't sell that much

Dread.
It's currently the best selling Metroidvania.
>>
>>719564042
Hollow Knight is rated fairly for a 15 dollar game. It wouldn't receive the praise it gets if it was 60 bucks
>>
>>719570826
Can you people make up your mind?
>>
>>719564375
You'd have a point if this wasn't Hollow Knight we were talking about, the fans are almost as bad as Undertale.
>>
>>719570629
Easily Hollow Knight by virtue of being in every console available and having low PC requirements, but Dread is also the highest sold Metroid game ever, so take that as you will.
>>
>>719571087
I wouldn't rate Hollow Knight a 90 if it were fucking free.

>Hollowknight's graphics and sprite are simple which is why they can do so much content
i will never cease to be amazed at how much /v/ is completely clueless and absolutely devoid of any sense of how much things cost to develop
go ahead. make a game of HK's size with almost exclusively hand drawn backgrounds without copypasted assets. Draw over 70000 sprites for all the characters and moving objects, that being every single frame of their animations. This shit has much bigger production value than Nine Sols, Blasphemous, Grime and all that shit despite a shoestring budget AND the much larger size

>inb4 but nooo it doesnt look that good!!! It looks a little aesthetically basic!!!
even if you think that, it doesnt change the fact its objectively so much more effort to develop than the average indie metroid-like by a mile.
You cant explain it any other way, Ari Gibson is insanely autistic, diligent and skilled. He worked on so many fucking movie and animation projects since such a young age
>>
>>719564447
HK has you refight bosses for 100 hours until youre literally perfect
>>
>>719571358
>>better Combat
(headcanon)
>>Intentional sequence breaks
Dread is mostly a linear railroaded piece of shit no matter how you spin it. HK has some of the most route variety BEFORE sequence breaks, and there are so many intentional and much more widely applicable ones like pogoing on your shade
>more upgrades
Theres about as many actually mechanical upgrades if you ignore "take less damage" or "destroy this block". So combine that with HK's charms that give you new mechanics and now HK is in the lead

anyway show me what dread boss is remotely as good as pure vessel or nkg
>>
>>719570629
Hollow Knight sold 15 million. Dread sold slightly over 3 million. It's not even close.
>>
>>719571556
God, this the best endgame content ever made for a metroidvania. The game should be $60 alone after the Godhome update.
>>
>>719571726
>(headcanon)
Are you genuinely trying to say HK has good combat when it's repetitive as all hell?
>>
>>719571556
You can beat all of godhomes' content in 5-10 hours, and thats just a bonus in the postgame. At most 10 hours of refighting 40 bosses and facing several brand new ones, while also exploring more charms and combat options/tricks

You dont have to spend hours banging yourself at a wall for completely self-imposed challenges

Literally just put it on google, they said so in their latest interview, 15 mil

....you dont want a fucking metroidvania to last longer than 10 hours. I will be honest, the first time I played Hollow Knight, It just was boring. Until you get the Mantis claw upgrade, its just a shitty jump and run game. You want metroidvanias have smooth and fast movement. Not whatever Hollow Knights first 3 hours are.

The problem is that you're unusually slow for a metroidvania until you learn certain movement options way too late into the game. Just blast through progression until that point, then start exploring.

Good Metroidvanias usually don't have a lot of backtracking unless you want to find secrets and such. The problem is that Hollow Knight has more Dark Souls influence, which was more of a dungeon crawler than anything, but the map is big and open so it feels like it's making you waste time when you don't know exactly what to do next. Roaming in Super Metroid feels like exploring the world to find the next way to progress, and in Symphony of the Night there is no reason to roam around unless you want to re-visit a specific area.

Shocking. This thread and board has serious Nintendo Derangement syndrome. Hollow Knight is overrated derivative shit anyways and half of its profit should go to Nintendo in royalties for ripping off Metroid to begin with.
>>
>>719581983
Dark souls basically made everyone realize they love conquering bosses and none of the metroidvanias did that, not to that extend. Most bosses before were either gimmicks or introduced with 0 thought.
We can argue Rayman is the best because of that but that game just has the worst movement of any platformer.

Didn't like the Emmi's though, SA-X was neat and scary and eventually you grew strong enough to fight it, the emmi's you need some magical space laser to defeat and its fucking gay, I studied speedrun strats for them just I could cut their sections shorter.

Hollow Knight is one of the best games ever made
Metroid Dread… is a Nintendo IP made by some no-name Spaniards. It’s not bad, but it’s not great either.

My main problem with 2D Metroid is how short the games are. Dread felt like it was just hitting its stride, then suddenly it ends. I beat every single 2D Metroid in < 5 hours on a blind playthrough, they don’t have enough content beyond going for 100% collectibles. Hollow Knight meanwhile has a massive open-ended world to explore, with multiple routes to take. And even with such a massive world, it’s completely feasible to beat it in under an hour without glitches. Truly an amazing game, and I hope Silksong is half as good.

both of these statements can be true, Dread was originally much longer but had to be cut due to development issues, this is also why you have 6 aurora unit (the most boring concept for a boss battle ever) fights and multiple chozo X mini bosses with an abrupt ending sequence

the nintendo reduction. metroid dread had to live up to super metroid, metroid zero mission, metroid prime, etc. while hollow knight lives up to nothing. the reason you hear "nintendo bonus" shouted so often is because everyone knows the opposite is true
try to find any reviews about hollow knight's bloated map, uninventive traversal (should be a death sentence for any game centered on exploration), or royalty-free-tier soundtrack. there are none, and that's because reviewers serve a narrative built on "small studio" bias. see: chained echoes, blue prince, mullet madjack, thank goodness you're here, etc. any other deeply flawed piece of shit gassed up on metacritic
