So has it been bumped up a bit or is it just still kind of “eh”?
-
Boring game
-
What is it boring?
-
-
why are there upscaled textures of this game in Dread files?
-
I think they wanted simply to port SR on Switch, than decided to make modified reskin of it using plot and mechanics of cancelled Dread
-
Probably same engine they’ve been using since that Castlevania game, and they kept some around when testing shit.
[…]
Still ‘eh. Main complaint with the game was how parrying was mandatory for quicker kills, but enemies took their sweet fucking time doing a counterable attack. Thank fuck Dread made enemies in general far more aggressive.

>samus returns thread
Good. I just finished replaying this game and I feel like I’m going crazy. There IS a chozo stalking Samus in this game right? One that appears like twice in the background. I remember seeing it myself, I remember people talking about it but I can’t find anything. When I saw Raven Beak in the Dread trailer I was sure that was him but I can’t find shit about it.
Is this a case of false memories?-
There are no Chozos in SR. Only digger machines
-
Well fuck.
>is there an HD texture pack
No but you can at least bump up the resolution.>Does the bottom screen interfere a lot if I’m using a controller?
You can only change between your current beam, ice beam and grapple as well as between normal and super missiles through the touch screen. You can however map some keys to parts of the screen.-
thats fucking melanoid. maybe i’ll just play it on my actual n3ds xl then.
-
Honestly just the fact that you can map the morph ball shortcut to the left trigger like in Dread makes it better than playing on the 3ds but you do you.

>fags replying to this post that don’t know
Yes, you’re right. There is something following you throughout the game.

>Throughout the game.
>wiki says it’s only found in a single area.
>Dread outright tells you Raven beak didn’t know all the Metroid on Sr388 were dead until after Samus left it. -
While it’s good to know I’m not completely bonkers it’s still not what I remember. I distinctly remember a bird man warrior with a spear in a half collapsed cave in area 2.
>AM2R is just better than it
It really isn’t.-
>I distinctly remember a bird man warrior with a spear in a half collapsed cave in area 2.
If you’re not already, you’d better get used to the fact that the brain is a terrible record-keeping device and distorts its own impression of past experiences all the time. All the time.
Or you can continue insisting that you know what you saw and evidence of the thing has been scrubbed from history. Your choice.

It’s a good game. Better than Fusion.
Dread pretty much improved on it in every way though. -
I think Dread actually bumped it down
-
>bumped up
?
It was always great, and always agreed upon as such. -
I think it had a stronger finish than Dread but a way weaker start. It’s just so repetitive killing the same mini bosses.
-
I think the unique bosses were unexpectedly good after all those copy pasted mini-bosses.
-
-
Still a bland game with little variety. Dread is much much better and improved on the gameplay and design a ton.
-
It’s forever a Dread prototype. Make of that what you will.
-
Why would it change? The game hasn’t been updated; your opinion of it shouldn’t have been either
-
I want to play it on Citra, is there an HD texture pack or anything like that? Does the bottom screen interfere a lot if I’m using a controller?
-
I played and enjoyed it, was better than zero mission. Have only played those two though.
-
Its ugly
Repetitive
Unoriginal
Mediocre
StuntedAt least dread had slightly better graphics and a new story with new mechanics and QoL. Samus Returns was just a shitty proof of concept to earn Nintendo’s goodwill. If it weren’t then it would have been a one off on switch instead. I would want it ported to switch using dread’s improvements and higher graphic quality at least. That could very well happen. Metroid is FE now after Dread salea exploded.
-
It was always a solid, Fusion-tier entry but 30 fps and being a 2017 3DS didn’t help.
-
It was always fine. But I also don’t think any Metroid dips into meh territory outside of Other M which dove straight into bad.
-
Replaying it after Dread it’s fucking clunky as shit.
It’s a miracle Dread turned out the way it did considering the foundation is executed so poorly in this game. -
I’ve always liked it.
-
I still like it.
One thing I think was cool in SR was how you can rest your arm cannon against edges you are hanging from at 45 degrees. It makes the physical movement feel a little more real when you have details like that. This was removed in Dread and now you will annoyingly shoot against the wall you are hanging from.
-
Saying Metroid SR is bad is like saying Dark Souls 2 is bad.
It’s not the best metroid in the 2d series but it isn’t as bad as most Metroid-like games.
It’s serviceable and most people are just sour to it because AM2R is just better than it and Nintendo DMCA’d it.-
DS 2 is bad though
-
For mainline DS games yes. Still better than the vast majority of souls-likes.
-
DS games? This is a 3DS thread stop using retarded acronyms
-
Dark Souls dip shit. Keep up.
-
I know because I read what you are replying to. But it’s a waste of my time when you could just NOT ABBREVIATE to "DS" in a 3DS game thread.
-
No. That’s just you being a faggot. You fully understood what was being discussed but you acted the fool regardless.
-
You are bringing your dogshit game abbreviations for series I could give a fuck about into a 3DS thread about Metroid.

>AM2R is just better than it
Not really. It’s a lot slower and he basically just copy and pasted the maps.-
>It’s a lot slower
And?
>and he basically just copy and pasted the maps
And they’re good maps, yes-
>And
And when your game doesn’t feel satisfying to control then theres a problem.
>And they’re good maps, yes
No, no they aren’t.-
>And when your game doesn’t feel satisfying to control then theres a problem.
But it is satisfying to control
>No, no they aren’t.
Yes, yes they are

Finished my first playthrough yesterday, game was much better than expected, they nailed perfect how to make the whole game from start to end with a good amount of challenge without feeling impossible to beat. My only complains are how overused feels the counter move is and the whole giant robot fight, fuck that one in particular!
-
good game held back by 3DS hardware lmitations
-
in what way
god you people are full of shit, IN WHAT WAY WAS THE GAME HELD BACK? AT ALL?
-
>30fps
>complicated controls on handheld systemsboth would’ve been fixed if it was on switch
-
30fps despite looking like shit, worth noting. There is a nice effort in the 3D backgrounds but it all goes to shit with how muddy the textures are, Samus herself looks like a bootleg figure whenever the camera zooms in like on recharge stations and some of the metroid parry sequences.
-
The controls are fucking great, metroid has always been the most complex controlling sidescroller, back to the SNES days. How many other 16-bit sidescrollers gave you dedicated shoulder buttons for your 45 degree shots?
Also stop playing it in Citra, the input lag is much lower on a real 3DS.
-
why would I play it on Citra if I complained about it being on handheld system?
-
-
-
-
-
If you emulate SR can you overclock it to 60fps
-
It’s still kinda "eh" but that’s a fault of Metroid II’s design more than it is M:SR’s iteration of it. Dread takes every new thing that it did and manages to make it work, so it’s proof that the concepts are fine, it’s just hampered by the inherent design issues with the game it’s based off of.
-
SR is one of the finest modern sidescrollers and Dread refines on it. They’re both goooood
-
-
Still kind of eh
I prefer AM2R but generally just because I’m a huge fan of Zero Mission-
Shut the fuck up.
-
Hey fuck you buddy
-
-
-
It’s somewhat vindicated now that Dread is out and proved Mercurysteam knew what it was doing. Every pretentious Youtuber who aggrandized Metroid II will still refuse to eat their words and admit it was actually quite good though.
-
Still bad, but no longer the worst 2D Metroid
-
>no longer
It never was. Fed forces and Other existed long before it arrived.
Unless you are trying to sound like a complete shit bird and claim Dread was worse somehow. -
That title belonged to AM2R after all.
-
Yeah, it is pretty bad at living down to a standard set by largely terrible games
-
Imagine that, being worse than terrible games
-
I know, it’s a horrible thing
But at least we got a genuinely top tier game out of it-
Yep, metroid ZM, Samus Returns, Super, Fusion and Dread
-
-
That is the reaction one should have for the fangame equivalent to other M.
-
Yeah, you mentioned SR and SR2, fan fiction was included by default
-
Fangame anon.
-
Yes, a game made out of fanwank is a fan game
-
Like AM2R for instance.
-
Yes, but it’s a great game so it wasn’t included
-
You’re right, Am2r is in its own trash category.
-
It’s called the S tier
-
Stop replying to yourself you colossal faggot.

But you are me, anon

Can sakamoto be considered a fanfic writer?

Fanfic like the tester or genesis.

please don’t be retarded anon
-
-
-
It was bad when it came out, it’s arguably worse now after Dread. Leave it in the bin with Other M and Federation Force where it belongs.
-
it just doesn’t feel fun to play, maybe it’s the godawful 3ds analog.
also, the over reliance on the counter move
-
why would another game bump up it’s quality? I honest to god do not know how any believes anything gets better or worse via some other outside party/game. like holy shit, base a game off of the game, that’s it. i dont’ give a shit about who made it, i dont’ give a shit about if it has dlc, or its got some shitty controversial dilemma surrounding it, i play a game, i tell you how i feel about the game, i dont’ compare it to anything else. If i like it, i like it, if i hate it, i hate it, simple as.
-
I kind of feel like I should give it another chance. I did like it but the parrying felt awkward to me and the Metroid 2 atmosphere wasn’t there.
-
30FPS action game, it’s shit.
-
It is an alright game but it is still the only Metroid game where I got a stress headache from just wanting it to be over already.
-
That’s because it’s still metroid 2.
