The best quadrology in all of vidya

replace the first 2 with their remakes and yeah you are right

>>11825535 (OP)
That's not Super Mario 1-2-3-USA...

>>11825535 (OP)
Absolutely. Just incredible what they did. Great start, huge improvement, perfect the formuler, goes in strange new direction to leave the franchise open for new possibilities. I love all these games.

>>11825539
yeah, no.

I will never play Metroid II because it's in black and white and looks boring

>>11825535 (OP)
Metroid 1 is entirely reliant on atmosphere and exploration because trying to shoot enemies coming at you from angles you cant aim toward feels like total fucking shit.

>>11825618
I like II better than regular.

>>11825618
Play the remake at least. Though Metroid II actually has a special palette when played on a Game Boy Color.

I know who you watched

>>11825928
Based

>you can roll down to the stomach and bomb her within
WTF never knew this.
Anyway, he says he could've never beat the game without the nintendo power guide but when I played Metroid II I had no problem finding everything on my own, it was pretty gun.
Also goddamn those enemy design concept art pieces in Metroid II look super sick

>>11825618
>I'm a tasteless faggot!
Yes, we know.

>>11825535 (OP)
>FF VII VIII IX X

FTFY

>>11825618
I will never watch Casablanca because it's in black and white and looks boring

>>11825618
It is boring to play and you clearly can't comprehend atmosphere so don't bother

>>11826226
casablanca is a legitimately terrible movie so you aren't doing your argument much service

>>11825535 (OP)
Only one of these is good

>>11826237
>hehe I'm so special for saying one of the most lauded movies of all time is bad

>>11825535 (OP)
No. Even Diablo beats it.

>>11826221
The "3d turn based FF games" is a good choice.

>>11826259
>Diablo
lmao

>>11826259
diablo had exactly one good game

>>11826252
>appeal to authority
you know where to go

>>11826319
you don't know what that phrase means.

>>11826330
you're the one to talk

>>11826340
you don't really know what that phrase means either.

>>11825539
dumb remake nigger

>>11825535 (OP)
I never noticed how Fusion's cover was a nod to Metroid II's

>>11825539

People will claw their eyes out and shit themselves professing how much the originals are better or the remakes are shit. The originals are important. They deserve to be commended and have a permanent spot on the tapestry of Metroid. But Super set the standard. As a product, all the remakes do is raise the first two up to that standard. You can prefer to watch your original VHS tape of Alien. I won't stop you. I won't tell you that you're wrong either. But punching up and telling people they're wrong and retarded for watching Alien on Blu Ray is silly. You aren't likely going to be successful getting your kids into Metroid via the NES game. Zero Mission owns. Samus Returns owns.

>>11825535 (OP)
Quadrology isn't a word. "Trilogy" is Greek, not Latin; a saga of four is a tetralogy. You're making it more difficult for yourself by writing the additional characters.

don't care about your overall point but this is a terrible analogy.

>>11825618
it's the sort of game you need to enjoy as an adventure, at a level of abstraction one level higher than the basic gameplay. I think the overall design is genuinely quite good even independent of the gb, but yeah the moment to moment jump n shoot gameplay is dry/primitive.

>>11828049
>>11828275
VHS is fucking terrible and has always been terrible and bluray is still worse than film, which is the original. It really is a dreadful analogy or its secretly brilliant because I believe the most recent Aliens bluray is actually a horrific remaster with AI upscaling that only a retard wouldn't notice.

>>11825928

Why did that nerd fucker complain about having a hard time finding things in the very straightforward Metroid 2 yet skip over the insane hidden shit in original Metroid where you didn't have any sense of where you needed to be at all? Most people take having a cheater map to navigate original Metroid for granted, but his narrative in the video was that there was no map because no Nintendo Power during release. It should have gotten the Milon's Secret Castle beatdown if he really had no map because that game is beyond needle in a haystack tier to play blind. How many people could even get to Norfair without the map? Metroid 2 exploration wouldn't be half that difficult even if it only had two shades of green, yet that's when he chose to start talking about NP maps, that's some bullshit.
Meanwhile instead of complaining about the Metroid's actual biggest flaw of practically requiring map knowledge to beat, he was whining about having to grind for energy. Did he never notice that some enemies drop more health? I don't think he actually realized what the game was even trying to do. The E-tanks fill up your energy, and there are more in the game than you can even equip. Using resources strategically, avoiding areas you aren't prepared for, and exploring to make your next run better are key parts of the game. If you want to use the opportunity provided by the game to struggle to continue and grind back to max health, rather than starting over and doing better on the next run (which is what most games at that time would have done after kicking your sorry ass to the start screen when you die), then that's your choice. It may be brutal by modern standards but I think it's pretty fucking forgiving by NES standards.
He made up for it by glazing Super and leaving Fusion out, both were well-deserved.

>>11828060
>You're making it more difficult for yourself by writing the additional characters.
The difference in length is 1 letter.

>>11828049
>But Super set the standard. As a product, all the remakes do is raise the first two up to that standard.
No, Zero Mission takes away all the freedom of Metroid 1 that makes it unique and worth playing and Samus Returns is just a terrible slog with its stupid parry mechanic. I genuinely think that the original Metroid 1 and Metroid 2 are better games than their remakes.

>>11828049
I can maybe see the case for Zero Mission over Metroid 1(though sometimes I wish it was more like Metroid II and lacked all the Super Metroid aspects and extra additions), but Samus Returns is, mechanically, an entirely different game. It doens't feel much like 2D metroid at all.

>>11825539
AM2R is a million times better than mid returns

>>11826340
No, he's right. You literally used the term wrong you fucking dumbass.

>>11825618
>black and white
>not green and darker green
I don't believe you actually owned the game. Also, put it in your GBC and run the default color palette. It looks great.

>>11825535 (OP)
Replace 2 with AM2R and you're right.

>>11825535 (OP)
It's a quintology but the last game isn't /vr/.

>>11828328
It's well known that these kinds of videos intentionally leave things out or hyperfocus on small things for entertainment or controversy issues, which generate more clicks, which generate more profit.

>>11826340
>the one
Good morning saar.

Is Fusion the one with all the forced storyshit?

>>11829770
No, Fusion is the one with the hardest boss fights in the series and survival horror aspects

>>11829770
yes.
>>11829771
did you forget all the scenes with Adam the computer?

>>11829785
>did you forget all the scenes with Adam the computer?
I remember something yes, what about it?

>>11829792
that's the forced storyshit.

>>11825539
This anon is completely right.

>>11825535 (OP)
Master Chief was always a better protag.

>>11829907
why?

>>11829849
Really? I remember it were just a few minutes in between missions.

>>11829916
Do you remember gameplay constantly being interrupted and being forced to mash through a few minutes of storyshit in Super Metroid too?

>Fusion
lol no.

>>11829916
I remember it happening constantly and also dictating where on the map you were allowed to go

>>11825618
There's a colorhack for it

>>11830128
>>11830256
I remember there being cutscenes, but I never knew I was supposed to hate the game because of them.
When I think of Fusion, I remember bosses like Nightmare or Yakuza, and of course all the SA-X encounters.

>>11825535 (OP)
I love you, Anon.>>11825618

So how TG-16 and Saturn app?

>>11825535 (OP)
>The best quadrology in all of vidya
No, that'd be Need For Speed 1 through 4 on PlayStation.

>>11832335
Amiga and spectrum port

>>11829705
>quintology
Again, "trilogy" is from Greek, not Latin; a saga of 5 is a "pentalogy".

>>11825535 (OP)
It's called a tetralogy, retard.

>>11825535 (OP)
I love you, Anon.

>>11832745
Not in the Alien: Quadrilogy box set

>>11832723
It still kind of works because three is "trēs"

>>11825539
The Metroid 2 remake sucks ass.

>>11826237
Being a contrarian does not make you "edgy" or "interesting", retard.

This board really has gone to the shitter, what with zoomers putting down classics in favor of baby shit games.

>>11833398
This post suck ass

>>11828296
Congrats for seeing through my rage bait. Both versions of either Metroid or Metroid 2 are going to be shitty to different groups of people. Two sides of a coin. We have choice. I still prefer the remakes to the original, but Super was my first one. I'm just more adjusted to that play style. I bring up Alien as a comparison because, hilariously, Metroid has a better franchise entry record across the board.

>>11828049
what
Watching a movie on film/tape/disc is only equivalent to og hardware vs emulation or simple port jobs of the original video game. Not remakes.

>>11833713
That post was based and correct. Original Metroid II is perfect as is.

>>11832723
I see. Thanks, Anon. Today I learned, which is more than can be said for most days.

>>11825535 (OP)
That's not The Amazing Spider-Man 1 to 3 and Spider-Man/X-Men in Arcade's Revenge on the Game Boy though...
