Thread 724114556

Did I ruin the Metroid series for myself by playing this first? I'm playing the 3DS game and it's so clunky compared to Dread.

>>724114556 (OP)
no you'll be fine

>>724114556 (OP)
you just played the best 2D Hollowvania style metroid. the first one is an unplayable bore, smus returns is impossible on such a tiny screen with no map (again!) Super Metroid is overrated AF with your giant sprite bumping into everything and with clunky controls compared to a masterpiece like Mega Man X. I have not played Fusion but I heard good things, and Zero Mission basically acts like a giant Apology for how shit Metroid 1 is. Dredd is the best one.

Actually no, the best Metroid is Prime. Metroid should be and remain in 3D FPS, eat shit hollowvania retards.

the 3ds game is straight up a less polished version of dread
the lack of a moving counter and small ledge mounting are big deals for how they designed it
that said it's fine, and it's not the clunkiest gameplay in the series (fusion, but really NES)
and in both of those cases the experience is just different. the focus on movement was really nice in dread, but it lacked certain other things that the other games excel at, often map freedom and music as examples.

>>>724114885
the first one is an unplayable bore
genuine skill acquisition required

>>724114885
prime games are not real metroid games

>>724115024
Correct they are better.
>>724114994
>get used to me hitting your toes with a hammer, thats good gameplay!
No.

Nah. Samus Returns is just actually outclassed by Dread in every way. Super, Zero Mission, Fusion, and AM2R all play great
Prime is it's own thing

>>724115079
Of course, what else would they be called? dont you know that Holow Knight is the only game like this, with a big over world map you have to back track trough like a retardafter you discover a new ability or something? isnt that so much fun? walking through the same hallway over and over killing bats? Hollow night invented that which is why all the fucking zoomers would piss shit and cum their pants at the slight mention of its sequel silksong! the true successor to this genre! There was only ever Hollow Knight! All games like this are Hollow knight clones!

Imagine if another series did the same thing as Hollow Knight, but like 30 years before and was more well known! Well if that was true, there would be ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING NOVEL about the stupid game where you are a cute bug that walks around a big ass fire escape map backtracking over and over and then getting hyped for the sequal and shitting up several game showcases to endlessly type "SILKSONG SILKSONG SILKSONG" over and over again like a retard!!!

Excrement 33 melty

Stop being a fucking faggot OP I know this is a lot to ask. Super will filter you hard so start with Zero Mission or Fusion.

Considering it's a downgrade to alot of Metroid games, not really.

>>724115724
Bananza should win GotY.

>>724115425
Exactly, sadly that never happened, so we'll continue to play hollowvanias

>>724115935
Silksong says otherwise.

>>724114556 (OP)
No, you just have autism.

>>724114556 (OP)
>playing a metroid not made by nintendo
ngmi

>>724115837
Super is nowhere hard enough to filter someone unless they have brain damage, is not even close to my favorites games in the genre, but it isn't a inaccessible game, it has aged really well in general

>>724114556 (OP)
samus returns and dread are the worst games in the 2D series. so you will be fine when you go to the actual metroid games

>>724116218
Metroid 1 and 2 are still the worst

>>724116218
But anon, don't you like the heckin epic marvel capeshit boss fights?

>>724115837
What the fuck are you talking about, Dread is more difficult (combat wise) than Super. Metroid in general is not a hard series, nor does it "filter" anyone

>>724116274
This is cool

>>724116362
It would be, if there was actual interaction besides button mashing. turning metroid into essentially a rail shooter (minus needing to aim or avoid damage) feels wrong.

>>724114556 (OP)
Super Metroid is completely different. Dread is more of a fast paced platformer where you're always kind of on the right path. You might have made Fusion a little worse because it's basically Proto Dread, but the only one that matters (Super) is different

>>724116274
Even the first boss in Silksong looks more fun to fight than this

>>724116171
>>724116304
OP will get filtered by Super you stupid fucking cunts. This thread is probably just dogshit bait anyway.

>>724114885
>Super Metroid is overrated AF
Literally stopped reading there. Turns out you're retarded.

>>724116818
Super isn't a hard game at all though, its biggest filter is bombing a pipe

>>724116906
Never said it was you dumbass I just said OP will get filtered because he is a child. God I hate pajeets.

>>724116894
You didn't discard the bait at the term "hollowvania"?

I'm playing through the games in release order(except I substituted 1 & 2 with ZM and SR), hopefully I'll be able to beat them all before Prime 4. Should I subject myselft to Other M? Is it still canon to the story or did they memoryhole it?

>>724116818
Outside of maridia entrance there's nothing that can filter OP, bosses are really easy as they are more like a puzzle that bosses, the main path (outside of maridia) is really obvious and the game has really good movement that hasn't aged really bad

>>724117090
Nothing in Other M has ever been referenced in another game. You'll miss nothing by skipping it

>>724117124
OP got filtered by the 3ds game because of controls why is this so hard for you to understated. Super will kill him.

Samus Returns is just clunky as shit like that. The controls are nowhere near as tight as Fusion, Zero Mission or Dread.

>>724116274
The EMMIs as a whole were even more egregious than this. But the counter cinematic stuff was completely unneeded. If they leaned more on the movement the game would have been way better. Boss fights like Raven Beak and Z-57 were some of the better of boss fights in metroid and didn't need the counter cinematic. Chozo soldier also would be ok if they didn't keep repeating it.

No, it's not even a Metroid game so if you like it stay the fuck away from the rest of the series.

>>724117251
Yeah, it's sad when ignoring the entire mechanic makes the game better.

>>724115837
>Super will filter you hard
how?

>>724117090
play am2r instead of sr
do not play other m

>>724116274
gonna post cp after you get btfo again acpedo?

>>724117326
you can't press two buttons at once because of your cockroach brain sorry you were born like that

>>724116274
Fuck off ACFag.

>>724117090

You're doing yourself a disservice. Return of Samus is peak Metroid atmosphere.

>>724117379
I don't like pokemon, so I doubt it.

>>724117335
>>724117504
I'll play those after I'm all done don't worry, but SR was a nice excuse to use my 3DS again.

>>724114556 (OP)
not really, there's are a bunch of better games in the series

>>724119108
kill yourself

>>724119170
no u

all these people saying the original isn't good are wrong. The original is great, but it's not like most other metroidvania games cause it doesn't have a giant map telling you exactly where you are and where you have to go. You actually have to learn the world of the game in order to progress. I will admit that the controls are a bit dated though

>>724119108
Put super in god tier. Drop echos in mid tier and the other two prime games in low tier. drop returns in low tier. put fusion in mid tier and then the list is correct. And you forgot hunters.

>>724119771
no, extra points lost for thinking fusion belongs anywhere above low tier when it's just a slightly less bad other M

>>724119872
FINALLY, someone else gets it.

>>724119872
Fusion beats the brakes off of all the prime series while still being one of the most mid Metroid games. And has less awful parts than Dread while having worse movement. But I wouldn't expect anyone who puts Echos in God tier to understand what makes a Metroid games good

>Best Overworld
Metroid

>>724117090
OG Metroid II is completely underrated.
It pretty much fixed all the issues with Metroid 1 while retaining what made it a unique experience.

>>724120327
>less awful parts than dread
everything outside of the EMMI zones (which are in part a continuation of SA-X + chozodia) in dread are better than fusion. Fusion is a hallway simulator masquerading as a metroidvania which couldn't even be assed to have new upgrades

>>724115837
Super is easier than even ZM in terms of actual difficulty

I used to hate the EMMI sections but after playing it last month I found them to be really fun hide and seek sections. Way more fun than the SA-X parts in Fusion.
