what are you, 11?

takes like this remind me of the past when the Mortal Kombat movie dropped in theatres as a solid B- action flick and probably the first decent video-game movie, and this doofus at school would only criticise it as "it didn't have enough fatalities".

>>11801583
To be fair it's kind of insane to make a Mortal Kombat movie without any gore.

>>11801428 (OP)
It's literally based on Aliens, which had a theme of motherhood

>>11801594
It has fatalitys, just not gore. Sonya snaps Kanos neck full crunch, Sub Zero gets impaled, Scorpion has his skull sliced off. You're not seeing that in a pg13 movie these days, and yeah a lot of gamers back then were little kids, would be dumb to limit the theater opening audiences with an R rating desu

>>11801661
Those Fatalities are pretty in-line with most of those seen in MK1. No overblown gore like in later games, just a single, fatal blow done in hokey B-movie style.

>>11801668
When Shang Tsung gets "the pit" fatality straight from the game, he rots into a realistic decrepit corpse, which I kinda say is more gruesome looking than the red paint blood in the games but people are gonna bitch about blood forever

Metroid 2's ending was one of the most incredible gaming experiences of my life. I'll never forget the first time I played it. The tension kept building and building as I took out Zeta and Omega Metroids, encountered the destroyed Chozo statue, watched the Metroid counter go up instead of down, and finally take on the queen. Finally the tension broke: the queen fell, and the Metroid counter went to zero. The music became calm for the first time in the entire game. I approached the mysterious glowing object I'd seen earlier—wondered what it was—it hatched?—it's... helping me? Overcome with a feeling of wonder, I returned to my ship, and let the triumphant credits music wash over me.
Absolute fucking kino. Super Metroid is great, but I have to wonder how much of the emotional connection players missed out on if they didn't play Return of Samus first. You can tell the devs behind the remake didn't "get" Metroid 2, by how they turned the triumphant return to the ship into a boring stressful slog and then shoehorned in Ridley (of course) and sloppily copied Super Metroid's baby-defends-Samus scene. Tonally, a complete miss for this game.

>>11801428 (OP)
Only a soulless husk zoomer who's never felt love in his life could get mad at this

>>11801583
>what are you, 11?
Mentally, yes. Zoomers have psychologically never exited adolescence, yet they lack the motivation and curiosity that characterizes youth. They're basically afraid, angry, and resentful ALL the time. What do you do with a generation of adult-children that get physically, red-faced angry if they have to "replay content" in a video game?

>>11801568
Incredibly sad.

This. It's peak storytelling that Nintendo has completely forgotten how to do, instead needing endless tutorial dialogues and mountains of text to try to tell their modern stories while it all falls flat, even modern Metroid. Such a shame.

>>11802649
>Gen X and Millenials are Niggers
says the gen who's only culture is black culture/wigger culture, only music idols are hip hop and black girl pop, who popularized "cuck porn" and fetishized their gens women as "queen of spades", who's slang is all entirely dirived from black culture like "no cap" and "fr fr"

Okay

>>11801568
i fucking love phantoon. every other character in this franchise is an alien creature and then this is some fuckass multidimensional ghost with psychic powers. and the space pirates are like "yeah put him on payroll add him to the group photo" instead of questioning this at all. fucking hate his boss fight but he's such a cool guy

>>11803379
what did you think of dread?

>>11801785
Why? He's literally the easiest/least frustrating one of them all. I can often beat him without getting hit once.

>multidimensional ghost with psychic powers
You would think Samus would need an exorcist or some other type of mystic/divine power to fight this type of monstrosity. But, no, the Ash Williams approach, "shoot first; think never" , just werks

>>11802649
I would love a world that consisted of nothing but zoomers and boomers. I mean that sincerely.

>>11803470
>people who listen to swing, and people who listen to rap
grim, only gen x and millennials had white music aka heavy metal

>>11803469
This makes sense. Mystical creatures and divine beings effectively live off belief, someone believing in their bullshit is like a nice meal for them. So if you don't believe they are supernatural, you can kill them with guns. But if you do believe in them, you gotta use candles and incense and chanting and shit.

>>11801583
You think that's bad ,some oofus was like I hate this raiden isn't as aggressive as the game and doesn't pull off his friendship move(He was friendly to all the earthies ya dimwit, that's one of his friendship moves in his special hard mode ending).

Btw this kid thought normal mode was hard, said I was making it up.

>>11802649
And I'm a very sad NIGGI Millennial too, boomers took the lot and left us scraps mahafuha's.

>>11803469
i like to think phantoon doesn't die or anything he's just really pissed that this lady keeps shooting at him and leaves to do something else

>>11803463
Are you beaming him or supering him? Fully charged beams do almost as much damage as a super and don't aggro him into his "float perfectly still and throw alternating waves of flames at you for 30 seconds" attack.

>>11803728
missiles versus beams but yeah, not supering
i need to get better at reading phantoon cycles and the pacing on the missiles to get more in, i'm not autistic enough to ever achieve a one-round
i appreciate your reply though cause you seem nice and it may help someone else

>>11803518
I always assumed he was just an extra-dimensional being that was sustaining himself on the reactor of the wrecked ship without really being affiliated to the space pirates at all, but that doesn't hold up on account of the pirates having a giant golden statue of him that serves as a door lock.

>>11804292
To be fair, Ridley is the only one of the four that is canon sentient. The other three appear to just be savage predators that Mother Brain takes advantage of to serve as barricades for Samus. And as much as I hate to bring it up, Phantoon is the final boss of Other M, so it seems like it's more along the lines of a Death-type entity that goes where lots of people die.

>>11802070
>afraid, angry, and resentful ALL the time
That's 90% of 4chan users in general (including you, judging from your post), not just zoomers

>>11801428 (OP)
Main character's a woman. What did you expect?

>>11803402
It's...okay. Certainly a better approach than Fusion and Other M, but still relies so much on Adam, the adam twist was stupid and I think the game has two exposition dumps, one from Quiet Robe and another from Raven Beak.

Not terrible, but far from perfect too.

>>11804369
His posting style is pretty identifiable. He's been going off on unprompted, scathing, pretentious, highly speculative, very un-self-aware rants about how zoomers are "resentful," "soulless," and "incapable of joy" for a while now. It's rather sad. Best not to engage.

I didn't think it was possible to have negative self-awareness

he's not wrong about zoomers though

>>11803476
anon, boomers are millennials. Did you catch onto the lingo for the past 10 years?

>>11805720
I did mean actual, non-millennial boomers when I made my post.

>>11804369
Not really. "no u" really doesn't work here. I'm not afraid to encounter things I've never experienced before. I'm not afraid to explore and go off on my own. I'm not afraid to try something new simply because I'm interested, without asking people "what am I in for" or "what do I need to know" first. I'm not afraid to press all the buttons. I'm not afraid of doing something wrong, I'm not afraid of failing, and I'm not afraid of trying again. I'm certainly not afraid of replaying a segment in a video game to do better at it or find what I missed the first time. I'm not afraid to give credit to great things that were made before I was born or to show humility to those who had a vision that I didn't live through.

Zoomers fear all those those things. The fundamental aversion to exploration is what seems to mostly characterize the mentality. They live by the authority of the smartphone screen that raised them. If the screen doesn't say to do it, they won't do it. To attain any type of novel experience, they need permission. They have to ask others if it's "worth it to get into it", or "if it holds up" or "what's the recommended way to" or any other endless variation of timidity that prevents them from just allowing themselves to participate in life. They get endlessly angry at "how was I supposed to know" secrets, they display sheer bitter pseudo-economic resentment for "they just did this to sell strategy guides", they get apopleptic when an older games experimented with its ideas and didn't have the easiest curve of entry or the most diluted, hypernormalized "quality of life" features they come to expect from modern titles.

All in all, they treat the "hobby" of "retro gaming" not as an interest to be enjoyed and explored, but a checklist of titles to be rotely "1cc cleared" off for no reason other than to earn some artificial street cred for defeating something antiquated they have no capacity to experience on an emotional level. Zoomers? Couldn't be me.

What a shit thread. It fits right in with nu-/vr/, though.

>>11805643
>make garbage threads in the catalog all day
>act surprised when you get called out
See, the only thing you need to stop this from happening is to learn to actually enjoy video games. Next time, try posting a thread that says "I really like this video game because [reasons]" instead of "I really hate this crap because it's old or buggy or bad or makes me feel emotions". Complaints that amount to "I'm not having any fun" have no reason to exist; they carry an undeserved air of victimhood. The board isn't here to pay you moral recompense for failing to provide you with entertainment.

>>11805652
See above. "no u" just doesn't work in the same way that the person objecting to seeing human feces on the street is not "just as bad" as the streetshitter.
Just stop shitting in the streets bro, it's just that easy.

>>11801873
Hey anon I love and understand you. Thanks for writing all that out, you're 100% right.

I'm generally not a hardass about this shit but the metroid series has been dogshit since the M2 remake on 3ds. That shit fucking sucked.
The metroid 1 to 3 story arc is the beating heart of games for me. It did shit to me as a young kid. To be honest, Other M is one of favorites because it acted as a true sequel to those games rather than... whatever the fuck Prime and Dread became.

>>11801873
I'm glad you exist. I always felt like the only person who feels everything post-super has totally lost the awesome feelings from Metroid 2.

Also that other guy who likes other M is nuts.

>>11805775
i kinda like that there are serious emotional wonderful metroid games and also "WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAA SHE'S GOT LE SUPER POWER" metroid games. i wish we got any of the former in the last 20 years and i agree that they gutted 2 but i don't mind playing into the over-the-top badass side either. i think dread's story is awesome even if it's fucking stupid
