It really is incredible just how much better ALTTP is in every possible way

it's so clunky...
oooh...

>>717805573 (OP)
ohhh the clunkiness i just can't stand the clunkiness oooh

>>717805573 (OP)
I agree. Fusion is shit, too.

>>717805573 (OP)
ALttPfags continue being insufferable fucking retards. OoTfags called it.

Nah, Super Metroid is easily the better game. Traversal would suck if enemies were overly tanky. Your initial movement being shit makes the endgame powers all the more satisfying. Destructible tiles usually have hints just pay attention. The only legitimate criticism is weapon switching.

Traversal already sucks because the jump feels like floaty shit, tanky trash mobs flood every zone and respawn every time you re-enter, and movement is extremely jerky. Traversal should not feel awful for vast majority of the game so it can feel satisfying near the end. And no, most destructible tiles do not have hints, it just feels so artificial and arbitrary when you have an entire block of the same material where some tiles just happen to be destructible and the only way to know is just shoot and bomb every surface.

I only play Metroid because Samus turns into a ball and that gives me an erection
