OHHH so that's what he meant by Big Beautiful Bill

IDK why but the design of the Aurora Units in Metroid Prime 3 reminds me of the Gazel Ministry in Xenogears

Apparently Bloodstained 2 will have a Final Fantasy/Dragon Quest style Job system which sounds cool as fuck but also hope that doesn't make the game too grindy. This and stuff like the day & night cycle makes me wonder if maybe it's going all in on being a sidescrolling RPG lol

I hate how Soma Cruz's appearances in other games uses his Dawn Of Sorrow outfit when his Aria Of Sorrow outift COMPLETELY outmogs it. I suppose the Dawn outfit makes sense since he's dressed to fight while in Aria he's just wearing nice clothes but I DON'T CARE IT LOOKS BETTER

I love how stupid people treat websites like they're monolithic entities. "Ooh everyone on Bluesky is just an irony poisoned millennial liberal" "everyone on Reddit is a brand dickrider" THERE ARE THOUSANDS IF NOT MORE PEOPLE ON WEBSITES THEY'RE NOT HIVEMINDS!!

LINK DOESN'T HAVE THE HAT IN THE MOVIE BECAUSE IT'S GONNA BE EZLO BABY

Speaking of Metroidvanias whenever a game is inspired by Igavanias everyone instantly assumes it's specifically inspired by Symphony Of The Night. But how many are actually more inspired by say Portrait Of Ruin or whatever instead lmao

Does Metroid 1 count as a Metroidvania considering you unlock every essential ability/item in Brinstar? Most Metroidvanias have each area contain essential shit for exploration but NEStroid is like Zelda 1 where almost everything only exists to make things slightly easier lol

I don't know if this makes sense but even tho I'd prefer they be dense like 2D Zelda or BOTW, in a way older 3D Zelda games having empty overworlds is kinda good actually. It just sort of adds to the mood y'know.

I like how celebrity cameos in SpongeBob usually make them some type of character within the world of SpongeBob but David Hasselhoff is literally just David Hasselhoff no strings attached lmao

Did some math and when taking into account which (if any) of the optional upgrades to get in Metroid (Long Beam, Varia Suit, High Jump Boots, Screw Attack, Wave Beam) there's at least 22 different playthroughs you can do, probably even more but I don't wanna count any more.

"Fiction doesn't affect reality" mfers when they see C.C.'s butt in Code Geass and get a boner

There are many rumors about Valve circulating right now, so today I will prove your suspicions correct. Here is Half-Life, 3 screenshots!

I don't know if I should play OG Metroid II, Super (is OG or Redux better?), Samus Returns, Dread, Prime 2, or Prime 3 next... I know I should do Prime 2 before 3 but 3 being easier & shorter sounds pretty nice & AFAIK besides Dark Samus they're mostly standalone too

A lot of people are expecting the Zelda movie to be mostly influenced by the Aonuma or Fujibayashi games (mainly OOT or BOTW) but I wonder how much influence will be from the early Miyamoto/Tezuka games? Miyamoto is the only one currently confirmed to be involved in production.

I haven't finished either OG Metroid II or Samus Returns but I've played enough (and AM2R) to get the general gist. Would it be wrong of me to say Samus Returns is a better remake than Zero Mission in terms of modernizing the core gameplay?

Sorry for posting about Metroid too much

Open ended game where the essentials to beating it are all given in the starting area with everything found afterwards technically being completely optional? METROID 1 IS THE ORIGINAL BREATH OF THE WILD!!!!111

Also neat how almost every single upgrade in Metroid 1 is optional. Technically all you need is Morph Ball, Missiles, Bombs, and Ice Beam. There isn't a single part of the game that requires the Varia Suit or Long Beam or Wave Beam or Screw Attack or even High Jump Boots lol

Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker actually predicted the notion of Mutually Assured Destruction and Nuclear Deterrence as being an extremely flawed band-aid over the nuke issue that'd eventually be ripped off BTW

Also funny how easy it can be to get lost because when you look at the map it's actually super simple lmao

Actually is neat how open OG Metroid is. Obviously you can also do Ridley before Kraid & shit in Zero Mission too but that's moreso a sequence break where you do some fuckery. Metroid 1 there's no sequence to break if you wanna do Ridley literally just walk to his elevator first

Oh yeah I just went the standard Kraid before Ridley route BUT I did do bomb jump to get Varia Suit early lol

Post something random or you’ll have an awful December

Beat it in a single sitting and got 100% LET'S GOOOO (took screenshot kinda as it faded that's why it's dark lol)

Who knew just adding a map and not having health go down to 30 after every game over would significantly increase Metroid 1's fun factor wow

Downloaded Metroid Planets it's a PC port of first game with stuff like a map and saving without fundamentally changing too much woo

Smiling Friends' Simpsons Joke SUCKED! Don't they know Homer is purple???

I hate that anything interesting in the story won't matter due to the Prime games having barely any relation to the 2D ones. Mind control Metroids, possible dimension/time fuckery, etc. all sound cool but. None of it will actually matter outside of the game itself bleh

The cutscene shown in Japanese Prime 4 website mentions using a portal to go home. Does this mean the planet exists in its own reality or something else?

I'm mixed on the Feds but people who were expecting Prime 4 to not have any dialogue at all like Prime 1 are kinda dumb. Just having a human(?) villain with some sort of negative emotional ties to the Federation/Samus means there was gonna be characters talking no matter what lol

I remember hearing people say AM2R is harder than most Metroid games and yeah some parts are a bit tough at first but for the most part it's honestly pretty manageable. I honestly had a harder time with Fusion Or was an older version harder but update nerfed some shit lol

I know the time is garbage but WOOO BABYYY LET'S GOOOO

Omega Metroids are piss easy lmao

AM2R confirms my unbiased objectively correct opinion that Super Metroid's 2 button aiming system mogs the GBA games 1 button aiming system.

Of course right after I bitch I beat all the Zetas lmao

It took me almost my entire health with 5 energy tanks to kill one DAMN

Zeta Metroids make me want to shoot myself should I restart the entire game on easy

Wait since the death screens for Samus Returns and Dread have her in Zero Suit and Dread is right after Fusion does that mean her crop top design isn't canon anymore? NOOOOOOOOOOOooo

Zelda movie should've looked like Golden Age Disney or something IMO. It's never once had a realistic artstyle why is that so prevalent??? Make that shit whimsical and fantastical dummies!

BTW HER ARMORLESS DESIGN IN SUPER METROID WITH THE MUSCLES ABSOLUTELY MOGS HER LATER ARMORLESS DESIGNS. BUFF SAMUS IS BEST SAMUS AND YOU ARE WRONG IF YOU THINK OTHERWISE!

NGL I'm not a big fan of how Samus' armor is more "curvy" in later Metroid games, I vastly prefer the more bulky look of the classic games & older Prime lol

Despite being the gold standard to most people, Super Metroid is more a "black sheep* of the series than the games people consider to be. Every game since Fusion is a much more guided experience, to the point you could argue Fusion is a better representation of the series lol

A lot of people consider Sonic easy & to an extent that's true but I also think it's less the games are easy & more mistakes aren't punished harshly due to the rings. Try to do a a perfect no damage run of a stage where getting hurt means restarting the level.

Most people are hoping the soldiers in Prime 4 will have minimal involvement & for gameplay I mostly agree but for story I honestly hope at least a few are written well. Sylux loathes the Federation so the game needs to make the player care beyond "he's bad they're good" lol

Downloaded AM2R on Steam Deck and am already about halfway through I think. Pretty peak ngl

Satisfied customers

I like how the Western marketing for Prime 4 isn't showing off too much of the game but then the Japanese website has a video that seems to be a fucking lategame spoiler cutscene lmao

Japanese Metroid Prime 4 website also shows a hovercraft transformation for Vi-O-La. Maybe there will be more?
