In retrospect is Dread the best Metroid overall?
>>747661123no
No, Super stipl isDread is 2nd place
>sidescroller>forced to use analog stick to moveno, this retardation is enough to dock at least 2/10 points
It's up thereBest, I don't know
>>747661123>graphics are washed out>far too linear for its own good>every boss fight has some "epic" QTE that's basically just a cutscene>Emmis fights all play out the exact same way>too short with zero replayability>Samus gets abilities at a steady rate most of the game then gets like three in a row right before the final boss
>>747661123Is the best since prime 3, which wasnt as good as prime 2 but was at least more colorful
>>747661123it's the worstmetroid is about exploration and now you can't explore because you have le monster chases for adhd zoomies and screaming youtubers
Not with it's poopy wall jump it's not.
>>747661123idk but sometimes bosses kick my butt in normal
>>747661123No, but it's very good for what it is. Very much feels like an xbox 360 game, graphically, gameplay-wise, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.I like it a lot, but there are things that keep it from being my favorite metroid:I don't like the way the MS games revealed so much about the Chozo and kind of fucked up the story by making it all Bird Hitler's fault (though I'd be fully willing to believe it's Sakamoto writing the scenario; he's been butchering the series' narrative and tone since at least Zero Mission)I don't like how areas close off behind you so you can't actually explore.I don't like the "epic and badass" presentation of samus. The moment where she says her one line is pretty cool though.I don't like the parry, but it is way better than SR since you can use it as a melee attack while running.I don't like how the scenario is a 1:1 retelling of Halo 4.
>>747663087>Very much feels like an xbox 360 game, graphically, gameplay-wise, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.that's the switch library in general
>>747661995You can explore if you aren't a poosy.
>>747661123Super > AM2R > Zero Mission > Dread >>> Metroid 2 Returns > Fusion > Metroid 2
>>747663624Who the fucks plays tranny coded ROM hacks in 2026?
>>747661995that would immediately put other m, II/SR and fusion below it
>>747663752damn, a tranny coded the GOAT?
>>747661123bait
The movement and abilities are S-tier, but it's too linear and the EMMIs suck. Super and ZM are better.
>>747663893How is it bait when it’s agreed Dread is consensus at least top 3 if not top 2
>>747663976I'm okay with the EMMIS, the parries though, that kinda leaves a sour taste in my mouth everytime its requires for a boss fight (Raven Beak for example)
>>747661123No that would be Prime 2.
>>747663889Last I checked DoctorM64 was a fat neckbeard, and AM2R is being maintained by a bunch of people who share almost no information about themselves and are effectively anonymous because of the ninjasAlso, it's not a ROM hack
>>747664297Oh so it's owned by Nintendo then?
>>747664350Are you actually retarded? It's like Shanghai.exe, Nintendo tried to murder the project and it went underground.
>>747663752>>747664350>tendie doesn't know the difference between a fangame and a romhack
>>747664545>>747664553Oh so it's owned by Nintendo then? Answer the question.
>>747664618It's not owned by Nintendo, but it's not a romhack. How hard is that to get through your thick skull?
I disliked the recurring robot chases and the way you had to hold your fingers to achieve shinespark or whatever that is. Uncomfy game. GBA Metroids are several tiers above it. If you like this style of Metroid just play Pizza Tower which has 10x better mechanics and level design.
>>747664724Ok got it, so it's a ROM hack and you're the same tranny astrosurfing it. Thanks for correcting the record.
>>747664618A ROM hack is a modification of an existing game, which AM2R is not. It's a from-scratch fangame built in Game Maker Studio.The answer to your question is no. Since I know your next bait post will be something along the lines of>well then it doesn't belong on le ranking because papa nintendo didn't authorize it!!!1!I will preempt you with this: eat fucking shit and die.
Dread blows>linear railroaded exploration>constant cinematic moments and scripted gameplay chases>literal cutscene tier QTEs in your bossfights>8-9 hours of content (aka not enough for actually fun interconnection and route variety in a maze-like world)>>747664297who cares about who mantained am2r?The guy who actually made it now works at Moon Studios
>>747661123I'm gonna say it, I preferred Prime 4 over Dread.
>>747664876Oh so Nintendo owns Decripated Maker?
>>747664847Oh no, it's retarded.
>>747664976>DecripatedBuddy, that's not a real word.
>>747661123Not quite, the map and music drag it down. It's the best Metroid to control hands down though.
>>747664991>>747665014You tried.
>>747664942>dark souls lost currency gimmick in 2DFucking retards, thats just what an exploration based 2D game needsNever dropped a game as fast i did with hollow knight
>>747665052And you didn't. How old are you, kid? 12?
>>747665093Skill issue. Don't die and you won't lose your money.
>>747665113How mad are you about getting called out on a scale of 1 - 5 every time you post about the ROM hack ?
>>747661123no, but it has the best villain
>>747665190I'm actually mildly amused at how retarded you are, so negative 1.
>>747665162Programming issue.Don't shove in dark souls gimmicks and i won't drop it
>>747665284Bet.
>>747665317Sucks for you.
>>747665532Not really, i just play actually good games
>>747665613Let me guess, gooner gacha visual novels?
>>747661859Hell yeah my nigga, Prime 2 is rad
>>747665754Ender magnolia for a metroidvania, it was the metroidvania of the year for 2025.
>>747665093>>747665317>corpse runs were invented by dark souls noware you retarded?Also the shade mechanic is one of the coolest features HK1 has for exploration. Theyre also nice and put in a mechanic for you to recover it remotely using a limited resource if you CBA or feel like it would be a waste of time>>747665932at least you named a good and passable game. Way better than dread
>>747665932>anime shit
>>747665932>tranny shit
>>747666123>i love pressing left to retract my money instead of maybe trying unexplored routesYou are literally retarded and you inherently do not grasp the appeal of this genre, actually kill yourself
>>747665349development for am2r began in 2006, the only troon here is you as in a troonglodyte lol
>>747666354Silence negro.
>>747661123No, it's still Super tied with Zero Mission. Dread is tied with Fusion, then AM2R, then SR, then the rest, then Other M.
>>747666426You tried.
>>747666354this post is fucking retarded>Pressing left to retract my moneyIf you died somewhere its probably because you didnt finish fucking exploring itI like HK for the unexplored routes, yes. Its sheer size and good map design means it has more unexplored routes than any game mentioned here with better nonlinearity and interconnection so i get to carve my own path.If HK is a game for people who "Dont inherently grasp the appeal of the genre" then pray fucking tell, how come it is by far the most well received and popular game in the genre?
>>747666561pathetic lmao
>>747664942Silksong loses to every Metroid for having shitty questboards. Fuck that gay shit.
>>747666761>how come it is by far the most well received and popular game in the genre?Because it was shilled by youtubers, it's the Undertale of metroidvanias
>>747666887The questboard shit unequivocally sucks but thats like 3 hours out of a game with 57 hours of superior content so im fine with iy
>>747666782Says the anon posting about a ROM hack and glorifying it because is tranny coded.
>>747666943the elites dont want you to know this, but theres a reason why youtubers shilled this game and not the 8888 other metroidvanias. And theres a reason why companies who actively paid youtubers to shill them their games never made it that big.turns out outselling the entire metroid franchise requires your game to be ACTUALLY GOOD
>>747666973>glorifying it because is tranny coded.like the other anon said its not a romhack and like i said development started in 2006 it couldnt be tranny coded like your fat mother and gay father you nigger
>>747666943And Dread is any better? Literally shilled 24/7 by gooners and porn addicts and tendies.
>>747667145You tried.
>>747667057"No"All you need is a cutesy artstyle and dark souls lore notes, zoomers go apeshit and cum from the juxtoposition of the funko pop bugs and the "dark" fromsoft ripoff lore
>>747667151Dread has better everything, especially combat and artstyle, not even a big metroidvania guy i just can tell quality from shit
>>747667365>better comb-ACK
>>747667204k keep me posted
>>747667536how do you have 103 missiles ?
>>747667258>cutesy artstyle and dark souls lore notesHK barely has any lore notes/descriptionsTheres 99999 other zoomer metroidvanias with a cartoonish artstyle and DS lore notes. None of them sold 1/10 as much as HK
>>747667626>git gud
>>747666537This.
>>747665203Kino
>>747667204>>747667607Now kiss, you faggots.
Yes.It is.
>>747661572>>graphics are washed outLearn to set up HGIG and HDR on your TV correctly. Oh wait you're poor and using a LCD Switch LOL>>far too linear for its own goodIt's 2D metroid, retard. >>every boss fight has some "epic" QTE that's basically just a cutsceneBlatantly false>>Emmis fights all play out the exact same wayAlmost, they are the weakest part of the game honestly but do the job they were supposed to>>too short with zero replayabilitySubjective>>Samus gets abilities at a steady rate most of the game then gets like three in a row right before the final bossLike most metroid gamesYou are retarded.
>>747661123Super Metroid still is but dread is a close second.Why don't they try to geigermaxx like they did with Super?
best modern one. can only hope that they polish up their new formula with ravenous
>>747674197Same
>>747666218>shartynigger
>>747661123It does a lot of things right but I think Super still clears in terms of world design and atmosphere.We can all agree Fusion is the worst 2D Metroid though.
>>747661123>Played Dread when it released, good game>People :''Yeah whatever, it's done in 5 hours.">Nintendo Direct announces Metroid Ravenous>Metroid Dread is now #1 on best seller>every larper is rushing Dread to get hype for Ravenous when they ignored it at first
EMMIs mindbroke the average nincel
>>747666354Casuals getting filtered and seething about it will never not be funny to me.
