can a mod change the title to "Metroid Dread Spoilers Thread" ?

 

[carlosrox]

No thanks. I'm out.

 

[Knightime_X]

Not watching.
Are these spoilers?

 

[caffeware]

Not watching.

yes

 

[levyjl1988]

What’s so spoilerish about Metroid? It’s not like Nintendo had any sense of story in their games other than Fire Emblem and Xenoblade series. I mean all you do is go right and shoot enemies.

 

[Robb]

story

I can only speak for myself, but I’d definitely say the Metroid games have a story.

Not to mention this is the first chronological game (i.e. the fist game in a long time that may actually progress the story) we’ve gotten in the franchise in like 15 years.

Shouldn’t be all that surprising that people may not want to ruin the story after that wait.

[eyesabitdull]

Game looks tits to me.

Hardly a spoiler, I feel. But I'll leave to the fans of the franchise to understandably avoid this thread.

 

[Ailynn]

I'm adding this thread to my watchlist, but I'm definitely not going to participate until I finish the game myself.

Have fun, everyone!


SEE YOU NEXT MISSION...

 

[tommib]

This needs a spoiler tag.

 

[caffeware]

 

[Bodomism]

Damn, the cutscenes in the boss battle is really well done with smooth transition to gameplay.

Graphically it looks like AAA budget Nintendo game.

 

[SpongebobSquaredance]

oh my god, so smooth. the game will be a joy mechanically.

 

[Oberstein]

Dat Speedrun.

 

[Needlecrash]

The movement is so fucking clean.

 

[HotPocket69]

The movement speed in Dread looks great. Screen transitions still look terrible. Also not digging the fact there’s no item pick up tune.

No tune for missiles in the latest realeases but major items yes.

 

[HotPocket69]

That blows dicks

 

[Bragr]

Holy fuck, that looks amazing, I love the speed in this game, speedrunners gonna nut all over this.

 

[ParaSeoul]

Doesn't look too good.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Oh my, that traversal speed seems so good.

Animation is on point

 

[Buggy Loop]

Doesn't look too good.

I think you made your mind on Metroid dread many threads back, why do you even bother to click on them at this point?

 

[MagiusNecros]

Doesn't look too good.

You right. It doesn't look good. It looks amazing.

---------------

More leaks pls.

 

[Spukc]

full playthrough leak when

 

[jigglet]

All I need to know are does it feature unskipable cut scenes? That's the only thing that would prevent me from buying this. I don't enjoy being forced to watch any video game story.

 

[ParaSeoul]

I think you made your mind on Metroid dread many threads back, why do you even bother to click on them at this point?

So I can't share my opinion?

 

[MagiusNecros]

So I can't share my opinion?

Sharing it once is fine. But if you do not like/care about said game it is more productive to ignore the topic and move on to something you do care about.

Now if the game was shit and complete kusoge material I think everyone would be on the hate train. Not the case here.

 

[RDaneelOlivaw]

One thing I've been so scared about for this, and maybe y'all can convince me to forget about it:

One thing I absolutely CANNOT STAND are the forced platforming "run away from the unkillable giant monster" which is just completely trial and error learning the right jumps to make at the right time, etc... I almost quit playing (I think axiom verge 1, or maybe messenger) because of this exact thing. It's forced on you, there's zero skill involved, and it's split second timing. RAGEHATE. Is this Dread monster in this game like this?

 

[MagiusNecros]

>zero skill involved
>split second timing

Pick one.

 

[RDaneelOlivaw]

>zero skill involved
>split second timing

Pick one.

I shall not!!! Requiring split second timing by redoing the same thing 73 times in a row due to trial and error I do not consider "skill" that's just punishing memorization of a lazy developer's idea of "let's make it hard"

Disagree. You'll acquire abilities over the game that will make the EMMI's less of a threat.

 

[RDaneelOlivaw]

ok good, that's good news for Dread.

you played Fusion, don't you? (Or the end of Zero Mission, although it was definitely better in Fusion)

 

[Needlecrash]

No tune for missiles in the latest realeases but major items yes.

This is true. Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission didn't have the jingle aside for picking up the item for the very first time.

 

[MagiusNecros]

If you don't want to spoiled don't watch this.

Spoiler: KRAID

Damn Chozodorf is pretty hype.

 

[caffeware]

 

[AMSCD]

I wasn't interested until I saw this thread.

 

[tommib]

Looking beyond sick. Hype train at full speed.

Chad pirate Chozo

 

[Phase]

If I owned a switch this would be the first game I'd buy.

What a Chadzo.

Becasse it’s still does not and needs to be say. The GBA games are killing it!

Metroid 4 is rolling in its 16-bit (it was on GBA) grave reading this comment

 

[Ailynn]

 

[Velius]

That metroid is one lucky bastard

 

[MiguelItUp]

I keep forgetting this is coming out so soon. At first I was on the maybe train, but now I think I'm on the buy train for sure. I miss Metroid dearly, and it'd be awesome to play a new one. Here's to hoping it delivers!
