Boring dogshit game only praised by retarded zoomers because they saw some autistic speedtrooning video about it

>>717855638 (OP)
zoomers are older than you anon

(You)

It's simplistic but still holds up desu.

>>717855638 (OP)
Zoomers have good taste then.

>>717858916
No the fuck they don't lmao

Super Metroid is boring trash with shit combat, pushover enemies that might as well not exist, floaty jump where you're constantly hitting your head, jerky movement, no way to view or mark doors or points of interest on your map, can only view one small subarea's map at a time, and you spend the whole game constantly shooting and bombing every single tile to see which are arbitrarily destructible, and missing a single tiny detail results in just running in circles for hours retreading the same areas and scouring every inch to see what you missed.

can this board be deleted already, I think it has run its course

Most hidden items aren't as cryptic to find. The game is designed to be played multiple times and eventually you'll remember where most things are and aim for shorter clear times with less or more collectables.

>game with tedious floaty platforming, extremely samey labyrinthine design of just different arrangements of colored blocks, and braindead pushover combat that poses zero danger
>meant to be replayable
The combat is shit. The platforming is shit. The world design is shit. The constant shooting and bombing to see which generic tile happens to be destructible is incredibly shit.

I just don't get it at all.

>>717859772
The main issue is the combat and platforming are both terrible and also provide zero challenge or stakes whatsoever in the slightest.

So what you have is a game where you just endlessly roam and backtrack through long series of generic, samey rooms that all just blend together in your mind as one jumbled, forgettable mess, with enemies and platforming that is more of just a nuisance than actual engaging or challenging gameplay.

I wish I had as much autism and time to make a post like this criticising one of the best SNES games ever made.

I completed it a few nights ago and it became one of my fave games of all time.

>>717855638 (OP)
It's a great game but Fusion and Zero Mission surpassed it in gameplay. Still has the best production value, art and music, of the series.

God, you're such a fucking retard.

>>717860895
How few games have you played and how low must your standards be?

>>717855638 (OP)
What exactly is wrong with it? The controls are a bit stiff compared to the GBA games but it's otherwise a great game and has the best atmosphere out of the 2D Metroids

Retard, it's literally one of the easiest games I've ever played and that's in large part why it's shit.

>>717855638 (OP)
There are a lot of games that are as good or better that have been released since.
If Super Metroid wasn't one of your first Metroidvanias, it won't be as great.

But enough about castlevania

>>717855638 (OP)
Fuck off it's a great one.
I played it over 10 years after the original release and it had aged like a fine wine.

>>717855638 (OP)
the only people don't like this game are the ones who actually played it
atmosphere, tech, music is all there the one fault is that it's not fun to play at all

>>717861746
Fair enough, it's a game from 1994, it was basically inventing the genre so it lacks modern QoL features and the level design isn't as mindful as in modern Metroidvania games. Still it's a 16bit sidescroller at its core, it's pretty short and it's not a game you are supposed to "consume" like you would a modern game but a game you learn and come back to regularly and once you are familiar with it it's easily one of the best in the genre. Give it another shot in a few weeks and if you still hate it there's nothing we can do about it.

>>717855638 (OP)
Honestly I agree as someone that would speedrun reverse boss order

>>717862702
>>717860895
What the fuck is wrong with you? What is even one fucking thing Super Metroid does well?

It's literally one of the worst action games and one of the worst platformers of all time, so fans have to cope that it's actually about exploration and traversal despite the entire world design just being a series of generic, samey rooms with different arrangements of colored tiles that all just jumble together in a forgettable mess that you constantly retread and backtrack through. And "puzzles" consist of literally shooting and bombing every single tile of every single room just to see what arbitrarily reacts. The game doesn't even have the fucking decency to mark doors on your map or remove items marks from map after found, and you can ony view one region at a time.

>>717862565
>implying I was talking about the combat
>>717862827
even if the movement isn’t as good as the later metroids, the world is designed around it, and many sequence breaking glitches (a big part of why the game is so popular) are easy to perform

>>717862827
>the one fault is that it's not fun to play at all
Maybe for the first hour, then you adjust to some of the quirks of the gameplay and movement becomes very fluid and natural. If you're constantly bumping your head on the ceiling you are not properly using your jumping abilities, there's actually alot of nuance in the different jumps Samus can do.
