Watching these 2 expecting a difference on my phone is hilarious.

 

[Spukc]

I don’t know what the fuck happened to this game.. but this has nothing to do with samus returns..

This game is an absolute beast.
Bossfights map design encounters…

they had new staff or talent.. this is seriously a good metroid game

Got source on that?
this game feels nothing like samus returns.
It is one of the more complex metroidvanias i played

If nothing else, this just convinced me I don't need a Switch and this game. I'd love to play it on a 4k capable machine at some point.

Dread being good doesn't change how shitty Samus Returns was and how MS completely misunderstood what they were remaking.

Yup shitty game is still shitty. But this is one hell of a comeback. I actually care about this dev now

 

[HotPocket69]

Whoever gave you a like for this also probably blew a load to it.

Don't forget to buy the game if you're playing it by some other means...

Yeah gaf is silly sometimes with uploading pics.. it was normal on the phone

 

[chaseroni]

Whats that DS title on the top next to Hunters?

 

[tommib]

This is the most badass photo I’ve seen in the forum lately. Congrats, man. What’s your favourite prime game by the way? Just curious to know what a man of your culture thinks.

Fave 3D probably first prime.

Am2r aka the true remaster

Hawt

Well then I’m glad to hear positive feedback from such a huge fan. You seemed down on the game (for mercurysteam iirc?) in the past few days, so the 180 degree turn is interesting to witness.

They have a real talent for visuals so I'd be happy to see them actually nail gameplay too. Samus Returns did show a lot of improvement despite its issues so Dread being their big breakthrough wouldn't surprise me.

Samus returns always felt like a b tier effort imo..

There is nothing of that game to be found in dread.. i guess the dodge stuff if you want to be super picky.. but if you told me that the same team made it i would have never believed you.

Their trackrecord was ass imo..
so i don’t really think my reaction was that weird. Now this game yeah this studio is on my radar from now on.. i hope they make another 2D metroid

Super is my favorite Metroid as well now I have faith in this game

This is feeling like the best game in the 2D series full stop.

90+ imo

Since gaf gets such a stiffy from souls games.. i bet this will do wel.
If you are expecting an easy game … ooof
My death counter is like 40+ lol

I'm liking what I've tried so far. I think it's excellent so far. I think you're right about a 90 plus

Didn’t look at any spoilers or videos super tempted but I’m holding out just cannot wait for this game to come out

OST impressions?

 

[Spukc]

I finished it in 8 hours ish item completion at 42% ..

If i take off my nostalgia glasses and look at map design exploring size and bossfights.

This is the best 2D metroid.

However.. for me it will sit behind super metroid.. at the second place followed by zero mission.

Can’t wait to do a 100% run when my switch oled arrives and metroid dread CE

 

[Buggy Loop]

Dude that’s a glowing review. Behind Super Metroid even with nostalgia is a HUGE achievement

 

[Velius]

GODDAMMIT I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT

YOU FUCKS ARE MAKING ME SALIVATE AUUUGH
