For me, it’s always “how long did I play the game vs how much did I pay for it”.

To some, that makes sense. To me, it depends on the quality of the game. Dread oozes quality in every aspect, is replayable, and worth every penny

@Roz1281

I made it through 12 categories, skipping each and every question because I've never played any of the games. I might also be old, though

@Pokester99

Getting lost is a part of Metroid though, so it should still count towards playtime. Subsequent play-throughs will naturally get shorter and shorter.

It took me 12 hours to beat Dread, so to me it was worth the $60. Fusion and Zero Mission each took me around 5 hours, so it felt like a longer 2D Metroid

@UmbreonsPapa

My point was the trailer intentionally cuts every time he says the "snow" part. First it's just "...runt" and then it's "s...runt" so that tells me it isn't called Snorunt and isn't native to cold climates. Obviously I could be wrong though.

Edit: and I was wrong

@Yomogi

Gotta be a new form of snowrunt. It cut off every time he said "snow" in the name, and he exclaimed "even though it's so cold here!" Or whatever. Sandrunt?

Edit: guess it was just a tease

@UltimateOtaku91

If you were asking me personally, no. I haven't been able to really enjoy it. But if you love fighting games, Nintendo, and a wild ride, for sure. You'll still find online matches fairly easily, especially right now as Sora just released

I got the free piranha plant and might have bought one fighter. But I'm not sure why I even did, I don't play it. I did for a bit but it seems so laggy on my wifi that online sucks, and my wife doesn't play. So I did single player stuff for a while and eventually just left it alone

I think they should do $1 per month, per console. You wanna play SNES? That's $12 unless you get a year's worth now for $10. Want n64 on top? Another $10 for the year. Want NES? Genesis? Gamecube? GBA? GBC? $1 per month for each. You pay for what you want

The current NSO has been a bit of a waste of money for me so far, so I'm most likely canceling. Had it been a small (like $5) increase or had GBA and GCN games I would have considered at least getting a year of the upgrade, but the current iteration of NSO isn't worth it to me

@BloodNinja

"Without it, people will complain that it's too short."

I still beat the game in just over 12 hours, and that doesn't count my many, many attempts at avoiding and fighting the E.M.M.I.s.

Everyone has a different view on value, but that was definitely worth the price of admission, and I am very excited to start another playthrough. It may not be a 120 hour rpg, but I had a ton of fun

@Bret

Wow goes to show different playstyles! I took many, many attempts at purple. Blasting the lower blocks, bombing the one block, charge shooting the large block, then lining up shots as it approaches. Every time I repositioned he healed, and I felt too cramped to do anything. For me it was a brutal fight

@NintendoByNature

I literally just beat it (took just over 12 hours with around 85% items), and it is an awesome game. My gripes are these:

the emmi things go too far, by the final emmi I was just tired of them. The music, while atmospheric and haunting, was mostly forgettable. And while most bosses were fun, the recurring warrior fights were annoying. There wasn't much to differentiate them other than colors or that one with a shield you can grapple.

Other than that, the game was a blast. Even the most tedious sections left me feeling satisfied once I figured out the trick. Can't wait to dive into my second playthrough

@Dissident

I just beat him, and you can hear the difference in missiles when he turns gold. It sounds like they aren't doing damage, and it's just a dodge game till the next counter. I would love to see a debug mode fight with him that shows his hp as it drops, to settle this lol

@Yorumi
Fair point

@BlackenedHalo

It's definitely a faster paced Metroid, similar to Fusion, but that's about where the similarities end. For sure it works as a sequel to Fusion, but in no way is it a reskin

@BlackenedHalo

"OT: Regarding Metroid Dread, is not this game just a reskinned Metroid Fusion?"

Huh? As in story? Gameplay?

@Yorumi

I agree, but was merely pointing out to the other commenter that this isn't just an act of vanity. I'm not rushing to return my copy or anything

@LN3000

That isn't vanity. That is being credited for a job you've done

@Bret

Ah okay you may not have gotten to the purple emmi showdown then. It's a very tight quartered fight

@Bret

Really? The back and forth and prep work for purple took me like 20 tries to nail down

I don't mind exp share, but single use tm drops my interest

"Purple E.M.M.I - Found on Ferenia, you'll acquire the Space Jump once you've used you've defeated this E.M.M.I."

You gain the Wave Beam when you defeat the purple EMMI. I believe that's why it has the designation WB in it's name, E.M.M.I.-06WB

@Bret

Did you face the purple emmi? I hated that one.

That's awesome, only things I've gotten early are what I think are power bombs (yellow upgrade) that says I can't use yet, and the cross bomb before gravity suit (still can't find that suit)

Edit- found the suit 😎

So would the Switch pack be a good jumping on point for someone who has never played?

I accidentally got to this boss before the gravity suit, by shinesparking the bottom left of the entrance shaft

Man I wish I could enjoy Dark Souls, but the one on the Switch is the only one I ever played and I'm just not a fan. Super clunky and frustrating. Which I know is a part of it's "charm" but they just aren't for me I guess

@Grandiajet

The worst offender to me was Super. It would have areas that aren't shown on the map that you needed to find to progress. This game handles that much better, but there are still occasions where I don't know where to go. I recently had to look up my next step because I missed bombing a corner section, but it was pretty obvious in hindsight. It had a little start of a tunnel that I missed

My copy is scratched to shiz so I've had to resort to emulation. But this game is still a blast to play, I would pre-order a Switch copy

@westman98
Beautiful

@Tandy255

Eventually I'll have to give Super another go, but I didn't enjoy my recent attempt at playing it

I'm loving Dread so far, and that immediately throws it into my top 5 ranking. Currently would be Prime, Prime 2, Fusion, Dread, Samus Returns. I could definitely see Dread surpassing at least Fusion and possibly the Primes as well, I'm having a lot of fun

Dread has been a blast so far, and tonight is DnD night, booya!

@moodycat

I loved The Last of Us. Such a beautiful and depressing game, full of tension

This is such a great game. The sound, backgrounds, entering a new save room where the lights are off so only her blue lights show. The detail is amazing. Only complaint is QTE in boss fights.

I'm not interested, I can't justify a console purchase just for a brighter screen. My OG Switch will play games just fine

Yes. This is the first game I've pre-ordered in a long time, and I'm very excited. Hopefully it works in small doses as these days that's all I can commit

Excited to come back here when I get stuck at every single boss and need more energy tanks or upgrades

@Zanzox

Some of us are no longer children with nothing better to do, and don't have time to waste searching endlessly in a game. I'm very proud of you for beating Super guide free, but I ain't got time for that

I've had my Switch since launch, and have 2 left cons that are drifting BAD. The skyward ones are still going strong though

@PALversusNTSC

I played Super for the first time this year and was strongly let down. There was so much hype that I expected too much. It was a floaty, select pressing snoozefest for me. I personally didn't enjoy the lack of narrative or direction like everyone else did

Time to buy the dip? This is coming off of a 5 year high, stock prices are still twice what they were in '17

@moodycat

I don't know of every game they've made, but I had a ton of fun with Samus Returns. So if this game is in the same style, I'm excited for my copy to arrive

@moodycat

Samus Returns was awesome, what are you talking about.

@DK-Fan

"Disguised as opinion" is the dumbest thing I've seen in a while. This is clearly the author's opinion. And though it might not be a popular one, there are some of us that agree. Fusion > Super

@Crockin

Yeah I can see that. I just personally loved the dark, eerie story that basically needed linearity to tell. Controls are super tight, only thing I'm not a fan of is the suit designs lol

@Crockin

I personally align with this article. Of the 2D metroids, I would pick fusion above the rest. My ranking top 5 would be Prime, Prime 2, Fusion, Samus Returns, and Zero Mission.

@Snatcher
The original creators video even says he isn't worried about it getting taken down, as Nintendo seems to focus more on fan games rather than mods

I want a Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 1 and 2, Skyward Sword, any Pokémon, any Fire Emblem, or totally customizable themes

I can tell I'm in the minority, but I don't like Kleavor's design. Looks lame to me
