Completed at 100% in 9.5 hours, with the original win at 54% and high 7 hour range. This was definitely a harder metroid at first glance. I feel like most of my time was just learning bosses, and my hard mode run will be around the same time as a result. It felt like it rewarded you for reacting appropriately to tells, rather than just shoving missles down the boss' gullet. For the final boss after coming back after getting all the rest of the items, I still got my face smashed in because I forgot some tells. Once I started nailing them though, he went down like a chump. At least this one only had a few shinespark sets, none of which were uproariously difficult, unlike loving fusion. I started to get upset part way through that you were railroaded pretty hard until you got the very last upgrade. But reflecting back, all the mainline metroid games have done this, so it was nice to not really need to backtrack hard until the end. I love where they're going plot wise, so I'm excited to see the next one... In 15 years.

The United States posted:If NIntendo doesn't want their exclusive games playable at full speed on emulators day 1 then they shouldn't use decade old hardware that slow enough to be emulated perfectly on a low end gaming pc. Just... what. No. My point is publicizing the fact that the big new release is fully playable on emulators is going to bring the attention of Nintendo's notoriously aggressive legal team down on the emulation scene, which is the main thing enabling old console game preservation. Add that to the fact that Metroid usually sells badly and there's a real chance that if Dread doesn't meet expectations, there's a real chance we won't see a new one for years and years again, and that publishing that article TWO DAYS after it launches is something that could actually effect sales, which would give Nintendo actual cause to crush emulation sites again. And what the gently caress is the point YOU'RE trying to make even? EDIT: Orange Crush Rush posted:What if it’s less “go Nintendo” and more “someone please get Kotaku poo poo canned already” Basically this. Kotaku's gonna get useful and helpful resources smashed because they put a spotlight on them.

Informal poll: when you were able to successfully parry the EMMI’s grab, was it when you had the Omega cannon? Because those were the only times I was able to do it and I think that the timing is more lenient when you have the Omega cannon. Also, why is the Omega cannon so much like Phazon? It’s Phazon, isn’t it? Just admit it game.

For those who are struggling with the E.M.M.I. timing, a YouTube video I found said the timing window itself is randomized, so there is absolutely no consistency between game overs. You're better off looking at your map BEFORE you enter the zones and study the exits.

Still a fun shot.

I was far enough along the platform that I didn't get caught, but I was expecting it to crawl along the top like it did while I was shooting the faceplate off, then its face popped up from below the ledge.

OK, definitely got pretty drat lost after getting Space Jump until I was browsing this thread and someone emphasized the utility of it under-water - that helped and got me on my way, so thanks. At least my random backtracking everywhere looking for a path forward allowed me to grab a bunch of items from the early zones. Later boss spoiler: Z-57 isn't anywhere near as bad as people are saying, especially if you utilize storm missles, although it did take me probably 5 tries? Didn't care for the flappy bird phase, that was really easy to get out of rhythm if you took a single hit. LOVED just blasting his face over and over again if you pulled off the counter and triggered that whole extra cutscene. Probably my favorite boss so far.

Really not understanding the complaints about bosses, honestly I thought Dread had the best bosses of any game in the series. Pretty much every one took me 3-5 tries and went through the same sequence of "get totally owned --> sorta figure out the pattern --> completely style on them". Chozo robots excepted, because those were just annoying. I really liked the fact that most boss battles are short. You don't figure out the pattern and then have to repeatedly execute it for 10 minutes like in most action games, you figure out the pattern and then the boss is dead. Combined with how relatively little health you have, it made the battles feel a lot more deadly. This is in contrast to Samus Returns where there were definitely some boss battles that went on for way too long (looking at you, garbage robot). I finished with 100% at 9.5 hours. It's not a 10/10 game, there are some flaws, but Game Good.

I think Mercury steam putting another metroid game out is an inevitably. Granted, it's Nintendo and they could Nintendo it up by inexplicably refusing to release another metroid.

Hi i just wanna say that the intro music being the same as Super Metroid put me in the right place for this game which fuckin owns It feels like Metroid is supposed to with some natural feeling evolution to the controls The game would really really have to gently caress up for me to not like it at this point because see my first point

I successfully parried the first EMMI four times in a row with no omega cannon. I was starting to wonder if the difficulty of doing so had been greatly exaggerated but that hasn't been the case for the 20 other times I've been caught by one, in which I've only parried again maybe twice. Never been caught once I had the Omega cannon.

Bought this to hopefully encourage Nintendo to make more of these. It controls super well and looks really good. Not sure about the EMMI though. I've literally only seen two(?) The broken one, and then another white one? but I'm not a big fan of the fact that it's just like HEY NOW THIS AREA IS ON A TIMER - and I was too dumb to realise for a while that the EMMI takes a long route round to you, which smashes through some breakable blocks which is how you escape it and I ended up taking something like 10 deaths just trying to work that out. Also really not a fan of the continuous one-way slops and falls and things. I'm super anal about exploring and "lol never mind, you're going this way now" ends up making me feel like I've missed a ton of stuff and I'll never remember to get back round to it.

That Missile+ tank in Ferenia where you have to run from the tram room, wall jump, save the boost, shoot the beam blocks, cross bomb across the pitfalls, blow up another bomb block, and then ballspark straight up is goddamn ridiculous. I am a human being, Mercury Steam, not a robot! Make the timing a little less strict! I got it but it took me like fifteen fuckin minutes.

having finished this with around 85% completion, the EMMI's were actually one of my favorite parts - even when they frustrated me, it was usually in a positive or memorable way but i do agree that all the one-way doors were a bad idea and made the endgame collectible hunt a miserable experience. apparently all the teleporters can link up once you've found them all to make traversal easier, but i must have missed one or two (maybe because i wanted to avoid the lousy load times) because they never networked for me
