>Anticipated for decades, long considered the "never ever" holy grail of Metroid>Already forgotten along with Prime 4Why did it fail?
>>740811951Sometimes it's okay to have an amazing 5-hour single-player game that ends.And it dramatically outsold Prime 4 which hasn't even appeared in Nintendo's financials lmao
>>740811951Why was it so much worse than Hollow Knight?
>>740812857dread is not bloated to shit and doesn't have shit replayabilityand i love hollow Knight
>>740812857Who hurt you?
>>740812857both suck. I just want a Super 2.
>>740813978nigga there's like 10 romhacks that could be a Super 2
>>740811951It's good but not outstanding relative to the hype or prior games. I don't even think it delivers on the promise of Samus Returns, even if I prefed it to Samus Returns. It's better than the vast majority of what's been produced for the last 15 years, but they don't seem to know what to do with Metroid. I'd argue Nintendo hasn't known what to do with Metroid since Super, though.
>>740811951It's a lot better than Nintendo's other games recently.
>>740811951everything is forgotten by zoomers in a week because they have no long term memory due to short form content injections into their veins constantly
>>740811951we finished the fucking game nigga
>>740811951I miss beak posting
This is a problem that is so absurdly easy to fix. All you have to do is not base your entire opinion of a game exclusively on how many people on /v/ are talking about it at any given moment. No one here has ever liked video games. The incredibly few people who do have either left or stopped posting.
>>740811951>Why did it fail?I know you're baiting but it the highest selling metroid game
>>740811951I feel Dread got the right level of attention, and gave a much needed shot in the arm for the series.Prime 4 was the actual fuck-up that sent Metroid back to Nintendo’s shelf.
>>740811951Short games leave little impact in today's attention economy. I beat it 3 times at least.
>>740811951>perfect game controls don't exi-
>>740817343>no shoulder aiming>R3 to lock in a shinespark instead of just hitting downNah
>>740815865>No one here has ever liked video gamesI mean I do but I'm not so obsessed that I talk about the same game for literal years on endI'd rather talk about the Star Fox demo and how good the HDR looks in it, since that game is more contemporary.
>>740811951It's like the best selling entry in the series. It's also a single player game that's coming up on 5 years old. Prime 4 was rightfully forgotten because a dev hell game of its ilk should just be cancelled in general. Limping it out to market is basically saying "God, please just come close to breaking even on investment".
>>740817279>Prime 4 was the actual fuck-up that sent Metroid back to Nintendo’s shelf.Dread did well enough that Metroid 6 was probably started soon afterwards, so I doubt Prime 4's fuck up had much impact on the overall franchise.
>>740818106I doubt Prime 4 was more than a fart in the wind to Sakamoto. That was Tanabe's fuckup and he's gone now. Not the mainline's problem.
>>740817442The fuck are you talking about
>>740811951>the gap between samus returns and dread was 4 years>its been 5 years and nothing from 2d metroidthings are looking grim again for Metroid after Prime 4 flopped, its probably going to crawl to 2 million lifetime sales .
>>740818495Dreads controls, you bonehead
>>740811951same reason why every metroid game in the last 2 decades is underwhelming - shit tier exploration/level design
If you're basing a games life on how many threads are on /v/ in the current moment, you might as well also claim that Red Dead Redemption 2 failed
