As a boomer who just beat Metroid Dread and wants more, should I start with Super Metroid or is ther...
You already started with the last game in the timeline, so just play whatever you want.
yeah play super
1 and 2 are boring. The idea of asking you to traverse a big area without a map is cool and works in certain games, but the problem is that every area in 1 and 2 looks the same, and they even go as far as copying and pasting the exact same rooms multiple times. Super is where the series really hits it's stride.
whatever you do,just dont play 4,preferably ignore 2's remake
>preferably ignore 2's remake
are you talking about am2r, samus returns, or both?
Ignore him. Samus Returns and AM2R, while both very different, are great games. I recommend playing both.
Shit opinion.
10 hours
>10 hours
really? for a $60 game?
Hollow knight gave me well over 30 hours the first time through and I got that game for a fiver. I hate nintendo.
Then dont buy it, I dont care anon.
I beat super metroid under 2 hours and I play it all the time, if you arent a metroid fan that replays these games all the time you are not the target audience
None of the metroid games are very long. Time will tell how replayable Dread will be. Super Metroid is a 10 hour game as well but it's fun to replay it. Metroid games are pretty much made for speedrunning.
Nintendo sells indie games for AAA prices. Thats their whole gimmick. Just like they sell 50$ hardware for 300$
>10 hours
Keep in mind I'm like really bad at video games. Collecting all the shits in SM3DW right now and it's giving me a tough time.
🙁
You wont be able to 100% Dread by yourself if you are that bad at the game , you will have to look up how to solve some of the puzzles to get the optional missile capacity upgrades.
But you dont need all the items, not even half of them.
>you will have to look up how to solve some of the puzzles to get the optional missile capacity upgrades
I'm pretty good at figuring stuff out. Like spotting things that look off or solving puzzles are usually easy, but from what others have said there seems to be a bit of guesswork in Dread. I think it's just my fingers don't know how to work sometimes idk man.
The overall story of Metroid can be summarized very quickly and every game recounts what happened before it. So yea play Super Metroid.
Zero Mission is also a solid place to go to next as it's a remake of the original first game, probably best to then play AM2R. But Super Metroid is also a good game worth playing at anytime. Honestly the whole series is great (except for Other M), and the story tying the games together isn't all that important. Have fun anon.
Zero Mission > AM2R or Samus Returns > Super > Fusion is the chronological order, so consider it.
While the Prime series takes place in between the first and second games, they are pretty self-contained and can be played whenever. The first game does a fantastic job at transitioning the "Metroidvania" feel into 3D. Speaking of Castlevania, consider Symphony of the Night as well. If you enjoy it, then play the GBA games.
Play Zero mission or Prime
As a scrub who is bad at video games, how long will it take me to beat Dread?
1 zillion hours
Which romhacks out of Super Metroid Redux, Project ZM, and AM2R are worth it for a first time play through?
start from fusion, if you start from the good ones like super metroid you will hate fusion so its better to play right now when you will like it
I'm playing Super right now
what CRT filters would you recommend(retroarch)?
I'm using Royal right now but im not convinced enough
>filters
Use the real thing
>but but I need muh scanlines!
No you don't. All you need is good contrast and incredibly sharp and smooth motion clarity, none of which some shitty post process filter can provide. Get a CRT.
I would, but I am amulating, i don't have SNES(not at hand at least), and i don't own the game
it's not about scanlines, it's about me wanting to look like im playing on CRT
What are you talking about. I played Super Metroid just the other week on my CRT and I emulated it.
I like crt-guest-advanced-ntsc in the presets folder.
Literally play fusion, Dread is much more similar to it than Super and it's also a much better way to start into the series.
Know that once you beat Super you've essentially experienced the peak of Metroid-likes, you can easily retire from the genre
I think Prime would be that being honest.
Prime is a nice gimmick take on the genre but 3D Metroid-likes just aren't it
good news for you, Dread is the blandest and most shallow of them all, it even looks less detailed than SNES/GBA ones
yeah, I'm not a fan of the 2.5d art direction of this new game. I much prefer the artistry of the pixel designs. That feeling when one or two person indie studios put out better art for their metroidvanias than nintendo. Then again, nintendo hasn't made a good game since the gamecube, they're just riding dumb consoomers nostalgia to the bank rather than putting in any effort to improve.
This. They are literally killing gaming. Worst developer of all time currently. As opposed to tons of great games like Cyberpunk, Witcher, Last of Us, Far Cry etc. Nintendo games should cost 0,99$ MAX. Listen I bought [insert any indie metroid ripoff here] for 15$ and it was way better and it took longer to beat than all of the Metroid games combined
>says he is a boomer
>anons still tell him to play Zero Mission first
He is not an underage homosexual who can't handle anything that came out before gen 6 so I think it's safe to recommend Metroid 1 for once
I enjoyed zero mission and fusion but can‘t get into super at all. The movement feels terrible
Its an acquired taste for sure, you have to hold down that run button all the time to have any sort of speed and momentum and samus is way too floaty
Well, i‘m already getting filtered by that miniboss in the room where you get the morph bomb. I can‘t jump above him so i get hit by all of his attacks. Are you supposed to dash then jump to gain more height or what?
You can morphball under its legs, the legs wont hurt you when you touch them
Stick with it. Once you get the high jump boots the movement feels much better imo. It is a much slower game though compared to the metroids that came after.
I would say give the original 2 a shot. It's not as austere as the original nes metroid and has some improved QOL.
>boomer
>hasn't played super metroid
Nah
R E L E A S E O R D E R
Anyone saying fusion is good is speaking from pure nostalgia.
I loved it when I was 7 but holy frick it's a slog now.
>Start the game after long ass unskippable intro
>Talk to computer
>Cant skip long conversation
>You need missiles!
>Go get missiles, door locks behind me
>Get missiles, door unlocks
>Have to talk to computer and have a long conversation AGAIN just so it can tell we to walk right and through a door, despite that being the only fricking unlocked door right
That is literally the entire game.
basically every game in the series is worth playing (including am2r) apart from
Other M
Metroid 1 - NES
Metroid 2 - GB
