This is that seething hollow knight homosexual spanking threads again, isn’t it
Of course it is.
Someone's living rent free in your head I see.
Actually I’m pretty sure it’s Dread that is living in the heads of HKgays for some reason
That's the point though, it is someone. It's literally "Why did X flop so hard?
Even the green text is used in every single thread they make, this is the 5th OP exactly like this I've seen this week and I barely check Ganker that often
ACgay fail
>ACgay is a falseflagging Black person trying to pit Metroid and Hollow Knight against each other
Makes me hope ACV flops even harder so I can laugh at this gay for his obsession with robots
AC?
Means Armored Core, I'm not surprised you wouldn't know though, only extreme mega autists would know about FromSoft's flopped mecha games
I thought about Armored core but assumed people were talking about another metroidvania
Armored Core
Animal Crossing
Ace Combat
Assassin's Creed
Astral Chain
Isn't it Ace Combat?
nope, armored core
I always see Hollow Knight among the best selling games on Switch.
Dread only shows up when it’s on sale.
If HK mogs Metroid on a Nintendo platform, imagine overall.
Yeah, it’s another HKhomosexual thread, everyone move along.
Nothing too see here, just someone coping with the fact that their precious sequel is on never ever status.
obsessed
I fricked my post up
I like both 🙂
Obsessed
now post an actually good metroidvania like rabi-ribi
HK mogs dread but gets mogged by any metroid game before 3
If Mercury Stream made another 2D Metroid, i'd happily pay $60 for it again
If Team Cherry made another 2D Metroidvania I'd happily pay $15 for it again
If Mercury Stream made another 2D Metroid i'd happily pay $15 for it too
If Team Cherry made another 2D Metroidvania i would not be willing to pay $60 for it, although i'd probably go as high as $30.
Both games are good, Dread was better though.
Longer games are not better. Dread mogs HK in controls, gameplay, design, and replayability.
I haven't played either but I would pick Metroid just based on this image. Short but sweet
Both games are good, but Hollow Knight really drags on in the last half. Metroid is good the whole way through.
As someone who played hollow knight and did enjoy it, there's a lot of bloat and padding to it, especially if you try for certain endings.
It's also hilarious when people use this site as an argument, because literally every single game has different criteria for how they score each category. Dread is clearly using in game timer to show time, rather than actual clock, and clearly has a different definition of completionist, as it requires a bare minimum of 2 runs to complete the gallery in the game, and realistically, at least 3 runs as there's almost no chance you qualify for the complete gallery for normal mode on your first playthrough, especially if you're going for 100%, which is also needed for other gallery unlockables.
I'll never get people thinking more hours=good, especially for platformers.
Yep
Yea. Why the hell can't some people just enjoy both?
>hollow knight is bad
>actually its demonstrably better than metroid dread
>ummm let's all get along 🙂
I enjoy both and think they are excellent games
T. Snoy
false flag post
>oh no a game has personality and content at a downright ludicrously low price, better protect daddy nintendo
We get it, you're whatever they call an insect version of a furry
Same anon again, I'm hereby inventing the term buzzy.
>8 bit indie pixel game
>personality and content
????
Metroid 5 existing is a miracle and Metroid 5 being as good as it was despite it being made during the switch era and by a Spanish developer is a triple miracle so I can't complain
Dread has sold around 3 million. That's around 150 million dollars in revenue. How much do you think this cost to make? Because 150 million was what it cost Nintendo to make BotW.
>One of Nintendo's Original Trinity alongside Mario and Zelda
>Just 3 million sold
It's a flop.
If anything Animal Crossing has more right to be listed as one of Nintendo's trinity than Metroid.
ORIGINAL TRINITY
as in from the NES era.
Kirby was better
Kirby will never be liked and respected, frick off homosexual
you fricking what mate?
Kirby is iconic
>coof crossing
>didn't even capitalize on the game because Nogami is the laziest frick in existence
I never know whether to ridicule or admire ninty for their stinginess, but in this case they lost out on fricking billions by not putting the slightest bit of effort in the game.
>sold 40 million
>in the top 15 highest selling games of all time
>only game in history to have sold that much on a single system without re-releases, ports, and major bundles
>"They lost BILLIONS!"
He's talking about potential profit, brainlet.
metroid games have never been big sellers
If dread is the best-seller Metroid game to date then when (if) P4 finally fricking comes out it'll probably fricking become the best selling game that year.
braindead take
Dread has barely become the best selling metroid game when other series have shitter shattered their previous records (actually dread is still less than NEStroid and Prime if you count re releases). Dread had 0 momentum and died after like 2 weeks of release. If Prime 4 has a similar pattern the series is getting backburnered again
>profitable series that now has its own studio will be put on the back burner
You’re an idiot
Metroid hasn't had its own studio since SPD dissolved, retro and mercurysteam jump on different things. Mercurysteam in particular is volatile because it has chronic management issues which have all come to light after employees leave
Retro has had management issues throughout its entire existence, yet Nintendo has still kept them around
Retro had a decade and a half of gold, don't know what the frick happened after TF or what's happening now but MS has always been a mess and continues to be
Retro was a fricking disaster while it made those games. They needed fixed while they were making them
You don't release prime 1-3 in the course of 5 years time while being a disaster
Obsidian did it with new vegas in like 6 months.
New Vegas was a nonfunctional game on launch and it still requires mods to work, prime was well polished
Prime had twice the amount of time in the oven.
If NV had the time to develop like Prime did people wouldn't be arguing about it in Ganker to this day.
NV had an entire engine ready
An engine that they had to learn to use and make an entire game with in 6 months.
A more apt comparison would be prime 2 which had the same dev cycle as NV (18 months) yet prime 2 was a lot more polished while also having to shoehorn in multiplayer per Nintendo
Well NV was running on the outdated gambryo engine that Obsidian was forced to learn and work with.
MP runs on a custom made unreal engine 2 designed specifically for the MP series that Retro was already familiar with.
Of course MP 2 is going to be more fricking polished.
Gamebryo wasn't outdated when NV launched, the time spent learning it probably was about as much time wasted on prime 2's multiplayer
>MP runs on a custom made unreal engine 2
Theat was already proven false. It's inspired by unreal engine and their own turok engine. But it uses nothing from either.
Revisionist history. Metroid even in it's prime never really broke the world.
You and I both know that you already know this. So why act like what you say is the truth?
>Metroid even in it's prime
CARLOS YOU FRICKING homosexual
IM GONNA HUNT YOU DOWN AND SWIRLEY YOUR DUMB FACE YOU HEAR ME
Metroid has never been a big seller, even Fire Emblem sells more now, and Xenoblade isn´t too far behind.
>Best selling Metroid
>Flop
In terms of Metroid games it was the exact opposite of flops.
You can compare it to other games that appeal to more people if you want, but that doesn't mean it is a flop.
Ipso facto you are moronic
a game's success is relative to the platform it was released on. successful on the switch is upwards of 20 million.
Most successful games on the Switch did not reach 20 million sales moron.
Smash bros and animal crossing are over 30 million.
>these games sold more
>therefore any game that sold less is a failure
>a game's success is relative to the platform it was released on
That's a first and it'd also mean Super Metroid is a failure, and if that's the case, then failing simply doesn't matter.
Super Metroid sold like absolute fricking shit, but that was probably due to coming out in the death throes of the SNES more then anything.
>sells like shit
>massively influential
>institutional recognition for 30 years
>sequels still 30 years later
Selling badly isn't REALLY the be all and end all.
SM underperformed so you're not off
it flopped by nintendo standards
It was the highest selling game in the franchise.
>no DLC
Metroid games don't need DLC.
Why the frick would Metroid need expansion DLC I fricking hate you
Nintendo clearly doesn't treat Metroid with the respect it deserves. Imagine if they sold it to a company that actually cares about their IP. Imagine what Naughty Dog would be able to accomplish with Metroid.
>Nintendo clearly doesn't treat Metroid with the respect it deserves.
Nintendo treated Metroid with the respect it deserves with Dread.
The only time Nintendo outright disrespected Metroid was with Other M, the most hated Metroid on this site
You forgot about Federation Force
Imagine what FromSoftware could do with it.
Oh boy, other M 2!
Naughty Dog would make Samus a strong independent lesbian and there would be eye gouging scenes. Yes, just imagine the possibilities.
>metroid
>naughty dog
I would fricking snap your neck and piss down your throat.
This is the worst post on this website right now, even if it is bait.
>Nintendo clearly doesn't treat Metroid with the respect it deserves.
sure
>Imagine if they sold it to a company that actually cares about their IP.
that'd be nice
>Imagine what Naughty Dog would be able to accomplish with Metroid.
ah you had me going there
>flop
i played fast, like really fast.
in 1 day i beat it, the other two days was to get 100%
i didn't wanted to get spoiled, there wasn't much there, but still.
as a game is ok, i don't think that has passed much time to go back and replay it.
at least for me, i don't play metroidvania again and again for month.
since this games are kinda short once you know what to do, i ended up playing from time to time, i still don't fell like playing again tho.
I've been meaning to play Dread again, thanks for reminding me.
And Super
And Zero Mission
And AM2R
And Prime
Might as well marathon the series again
>anon mentions HK gays
>they appear
Gleamlight is better than HK lel
who
2d might flop but Prime 4 will become GOTY
Why does she look like a stereotypical asian lady.
nah she looks like a Lilo & Stitch character
>that face
3d > 2d
Despite the fact that OP's post is bait and should be saged as such, the sad fact is that there are many, many people out there in the modern day video game market that unironically think exactly like that.
In the modern day culture of constant post-launch support due to releasing unfinished games in the name of profit, a one-and-done game like Metroid Dread is apparently a "forgotten" game that "flopped".
You shouldn't even bother posting on those kind of threads
because every metroid game is like this. they die fast because they dont have much replayabily after you seen all endings.
>sales so far didn't even exceed 3 million
How do you guys cope with this?
I'm not even a HKgay(didn't even finish it) but that game got like 6 million sales right?
Soulsgays mistakenly believing it to be like dark souls definitely helped
Actually the last update was also 3 million, but that was December of 2020 and nothing has been said on HK’s sales ever since
You're right my bad, but still 3 million for team cherry is pretty huge.
Can't say the same for Nintendo though
Why, it’s still the best selling Metroid game ever
Do you not realize what a niche market is?
You say it like it's a high bar to reach.
I'm not surprised, games today tend to sell more copies in number than games made back then.
Because who cares about sales as long as we get good gamed
Sales increase the chance of another game, not rocket science
Dread sold more than most other Metroid games so again, who cares if it only sold 3 million? Not rocket science
>$15 game out for 4 years longer than a $60 game sold better
Holy frick you’re moronic
Also HK gets major discounts/bundles and is on Steam so sales get inflated by people like me who buy it uber cheap telling ourselves we'll get to it eventually.
Simply because I do not care about sales. The game launched, I played it, enjoyed it a lot. That's all that matters. If Metroid dies as a franchise I'd be sad because I won't see more of Samus but everything and everyone dies at some point so it's only natural. What we have is what we've done, are doing and the memories of it. Live your life anon, stop obsessing over numbers that have no effect in your life
>Simply because I do not care about sales. The game launched, I [cope]
>Multiplatform game released over 3 years ago has more sales than an exclusive released barely a year ago
Anon, you should take that bug dick out of your mouth, that chitin is messing your brain
Not only that, $15 multiplat that's gone on sale multiple times available for over 3 years sold MARGINALLY better than $60 exclusive from a company notorious for not doing sales until the tail end of a console's life after only a year of sales
It's a singleplayer game for one. And it's much more action oriented than exploration heavy so there's little to discuss beyond tiny fragments of lore and the bossfights
it's not very fun and the market is already oversaturated with metroidvanias.
>Roguelikes posing as metroidvanias*
ftfy
no, genuine metroidvanias. there are heaps of them. I'd rather play la mulana, ori, hk, etc than dread. it's just boring. I'm sick of that genre in general, make an actual 2d platformer already.
>Ori
>All flair and no substance the game
that's literally what dread is. it has tons of set pieces and qtes
and god gameplay
they made all the cool shit easy to do so its not fun any more
Dogshit taste. HK is bloated and boring encarnate
the bosses are fun which is more than I can say for ANY metroid game and some of the platforming segments are preddy gud. its inconsistent in its quality but mostly good overall.
The bosses are repetitive, boring souls shit, with i-frame dodges and regular attack spam. And the platforming is awful. I can’t believe it doesn’t even have momentum, yet it still relied so heavily on platforming
>I can’t believe it doesn’t even have momentum
momentum is bad for precision platforming
>he fell for the “I want to be” meme
Platforming without momentum is shit. It removes all of the interesting environmental interaction, fluidity, and nuance
>IWBTG
most platformers dont have momentum. mega man doesnt and X/Zero have hard speed caps with your movement comes to a full stop it you let go of forward, even in the air. this is a staple of all those NES/SNES platformers and most arcade games. basically everything but Mario and Sonic. (and of those 2 only mario has good platforming, sonic is the novelty of controlling an autistic marble)
>NES/SNES games
>megaman is the series that should be imitated for its platforming
Good one
>actually citing IGN
God damn, you really are moronic
>its wrong because it just is okay
>it’s right because I linked a video, since I couldn’t argue it myself
Lol
yeah that's why they put a slide in dread lmao
Don't forget the charge shot mechanic was taken from mega man as well. And the gimmick of using new abilities to unlock things. And non-linear boss order.
This. Also saying that Dread has no fluidity is basically lying.
>super meat boy
>super reddit boy
>reddit knight,also sponsored by ign
I feel the same but I'm fully expecting to still enjoy MP5 because they have a vastly different type of gameplay than the 2D games.
They're just much more immersive and feel like they've got more going for them than the other Metroid games or 2D metroidvanias in general.
And I prefer Metroid over all that shit. Got loads of Metroidvania's in the backlog and I installed Primehack last night instead.
>metadoom
>no metametroid
>No word of a sequel at all.
sakamoto said that the franchise will continue, they are probably developing metroid 6 as we speak.
There's not much to discuss about the game, really, which is even reduced further because if you complain about anything in the game Dreadgays will rabidly defend it.

Why are HKgays so obsessed with Metroid?
It's the old fashioned "Newbie constantly seethes over/tries to be superior to the veteran when the Vet doesn't even give a frick."
Samus just can't catch a break can she?
Right there with Returnal, Doom Eternal and Sifu as good games that only shutins have time for.

How.
because it's a shitty console fps that is only praised by zoomers who played the trilogy re-release
Have you actually like... played them? Or do you simply hate them because they're different from the 2d games.
I actually like played them and they are crapola, very low standards
I don't think you have.
I think you're lying.
If I dig out my original release day copy of prime and take a picture of it, what do I get in return?
Do it homosexual.
It still won't make your opinion any less shit.
>what do I get in return
Tell me more about the Prime games. On detail.
Slow atmospheric creeping through hallways with auto aim and an intrusive UI with bad controls, basically made as a tech demo to flex the power of the gamecube.
>Slow
wrong
>atmospheric creeping through hallways
only in some sections
> with auto aim
irrelevant for the Prime games, not the point, that's like complaining that Ocarina of Time's jump is automatic
> and an intrusive UI with bad controls,
complete lies
>basically made as a tech demo to flex the power of the gamecube.
it truly did look amazing for its time graphically
my conclusion: at best you played like 5 minutes of Prime 1, and you're desperately trying to shit on the entire trilogy
it's extremely slow
>irrelevant for the Prime games
if you take away the platforming and dont add good fps gameplay what's left? hipster garbage for people that dont really like video games, that's what.
>hipster garbage for people that dont really like video games

Unbelievably bad shitpost
It's a first person adventure game you fricking moron. The focus isn't on shooty jumpy shit. It's fricking metroid, not titanfall.
>It's a first person adventure game
so goyslop
Buzzword.
it really isnt. "first person adventure" implies the likes of skyrim, bioshock, red dead, etc. peak goyslop.
Red Dead is a third person shooter you fricking dumbass.
I don't know why I'm bothering. Anyone who unironically uses the world "goyslop" probably doesn't even play vidya.
>Red Dead is a third person shooter
no they added a first person mode for the peak sloppa experience
Wasn't designed as an FPS. Isn't an FPS.
Sloppa?
What the frick are you even saying at this point?
I fricking hate newbie speak holy shit.
>First person adventure
>Bioshock
>Skyrim
>Red dead
As I expected from a /misc/ Black person.
Speak like a normal fricking person for once you fricking /misc/ Black person.
>intrusive UI
Okay now I KNOW you're fricking trolling.
>Slow atmospheric creeping through hallways
I don't see how this is a bad thing unless you're a boomer or a zoomer that needs mega-fast paced constant shooting to stay engaged.
>with auto aim
Irrelevant. The Prime games gamplay aren't centered around aim anyways. Who cares unless you're an fps bab who thought Prime was going to be a half-life clone.
>intrusive UI
Bull fricking shit.
>with bad controls
The only thing I'll admit has wierd controls is the morph ball jumping, but other wise it's really fine for what it is.
Again it's not a fast paced shooter, it's an exploration game. It doesn't need twin-stick aiming.
>basically made as a tech demo to flex the power of the gamecube.
Okay?
>I don't see how this is a bad thing unless you're a boomer or a zoomer that needs mega-fast paced constant shooting to stay engaged.
I want to play an actual fricking video game that is fun to replay, not a $60 15 hour long quirky "experience." This is why all new nintendo games completely suck ass and nintendo's current defenders are mentally on par with slugs.
>new nintendo games
>Metroid prime
>60$
Ah i see, you DON'T know what you're talking about.
This is exactly what Metroid Prime 4 will be. It will be a short braindead completely overpriced game that you play for one weekend then never touch again, just like 90% of the games on the switch.
Sounds like you're not the target audience then.
MP gays know what they want and if MP4 is just like MP1+2+3 then they'll be more than happy.
>Sounds like you're not the target audience then.
Yeah no shit.
This isn't a Prime thread.
It's a metroid thread. People are going to talk about the prime games Black person.
You're no different then trannies and lgbt Black folk who screech that devs should drop everything to change games that they don't play.
No, you're the troony homosexual that took over a community and displaced the original population, and replaced the future of the series that community revolved around to something shallow and ugly.
>Replayability gayging
And just like that I no longer care for your opinion.
>not wanting replayibility
>in a nintendo game
Nintendo is truly just another flavor of snoy now.
Go play fricking overwatch or csgo or whatever the frick then.
>ugh... fricking zoomers
>btw Prime is too slow!!!
Oh, the irony.
Prime is good though,
Swap Fusion and Hunters and the least would at least looks like something someone actually believes
Hunters is extremely formulaic. The online multiplayer was fun though, but I bet if it was released today it'd be unplabyable because of today's playerbase.
And Fusion is amazing. It's only hated by speedtrannies.
Fusion is also hated by fans of the Metroid genre for it's insane linearity and handholding.
>for it's insane linearity
Don't care. The moment a new path is discovered and is faster then it's the new linear path.
>and handholding.
It gave you a general direction and then you had to find your way there. In the first missions it's mostly accurate, but later on it's used for the narrative, like
>Samus, go to this download station ez pz, extremely near the entrance of this section of the ship
>and indeed it was
>then it takes a huge detour to be able to go back because the X destroyed the path you just took
>Samus go to this spot
>sounds easy
>well except the doors are all locked, you'll have to find another way to get there
and so on. It elevates the narrative, another reason why it's so great. Worse in repeated playthroughs though, but that's another section entirely, unless one pretends that the only thing a game is good for is being replayed (again, a speedtroony).
>Why did Metroid Dread flop so hard?
>Metroid Dread
Cause it's not prime 4?
>Why did Metroid Dread flop so hard?
It sold well for a Metroid game
>No expansion DLC
DLC in a Metroid game? Are you dumb?
>It was forgotten a week after release and when emulators made it playable.
It was posted months after it was released and then again when emulators made potatoes able to run it as well.
>No word of a sequel at all.
Metroid Dread was initially a 2005 game, and we don't need a sequel.
I rather they make a new game built on the progress they made between Samus Return and Dread. It was a big gameplay leap, and I'm fine waiting 5+ more years for a Metroid game if it was as fun as Dread.
Ravenbeak is so overwhelmingly sexy, strong and powerful. Samus should just prostrate herself before him, and service his massive manhood with every orifice of her body in the hopes of procreation.
A 2D metroidvania selling 3 million copies at a 60 dollar price tag can in no way be considered a flop, moron.
>most succesful metroid game is a flop
Moooooods
Did it really flopped?
I though everyone liked it.
Where the frick is Prime 4?
>if you take away the platforming and dont add good fps gameplay what's left?
Exploration adventure game.
>Fan art of samus taking the suit apart and doing maintenance on it
You know who are fans just by how wrong that kind of art is
What do you mean? You're gonna tell me Other M's Sailor Moon suit is the way the suit works?
i just wish there was better music and maybe a mode where you kept the last suit longer. metroid samus looks too cool to just be a thing at the end
Metroid prime trilogy is free anon.
Samus + blacks
Metroid's structure wouldn't work with an expansion pack. At best a Fusion remake in Dread's engine for $30.
>You need to get 500 hours out of games otherwise they're shit.
I'd rather play an amazing game for 15 hours than play a repetitive mediocre one for 90.
if it was amazing you would replay it. I can beat super metroid and fire it up again the very next day and beat again while still having a good time. Any new nintendo game is a snooze once you have seen all the gimmicks, which you instantly master.
I can do the same thing with the prime games nerd.
you can't and you don't.
I can and I will, this shit is making me boot up prime hack once again.
>hack
That's a mod, not the game. You probably never even played the original game.
It literally is the same game, I don't play with kb and mouse, i use a normal controller. It's the same game I played with my dad back when I was a kid.
You're bullshitting at this point.
>Prime
>new
you actually have NO fricking idea what the frick you are talking about boomer.
Prime is modern. Gamecube is the start of modern era nintendo.
Ok boomer.
>Anti-prime gays seething because nobody cares about shitty 2d games
Why do 2d gays seethe over the prime games so hard anyways? It's the same game but 3d.
It's just a superiority complex. Something something new-thing bad.
here's the truth about Super Metroid:
it's a good game that speedtrannies fawn over extremely hard
Wr can never have a good metroid thread again, can we? Im tired of the fandom infighting because you homosexuals take the bait so easily.
I get easily defensive over Prime because it's one of those games that I've been chasing the same feeling of wonder I get when I play it and have been unsatisfied since MP3. The series is the perfect type of game for me and nothing else has come even close to even reaching the same atmosphere/experience. My only hope is for Prime 4 and considering how it's not made by the same people that made 1/2/3 I'm probably going to be vastly dissapointed, but I'm still holding onto hope for the sake of my 8 year old self.
>game needs day one DLC to be successful
Anon, I...
What happened to people being able to just buy a full game and fricking enjoying it.
Why do games need to be supported for 10 years.
Normies are trained to stick to a single live service game to keep dumping their money into.
There's nothing wrong with DLC/expansion packs if you announce it after the game is a success, and make it worth your while. Almost no modern games do this, though.
Right but how the frick does that work for Metroid? Gonna introduce one new power up that's only useful in the new area? There's a reason Bloonstained's load of DLC is mostly new characters and not a new map.
I should mention that the less open-ended a game is, the less expansions make sense.
Frick games as a service and frick you.
>No expansion DLC
This isn't a bad thing you fricking mongoloid.
Single player games have a mainstream attention shelf life, this is part of a healthy market. Obsession over constant consumer stimulation is literally what is killing video games. Please put a noose around your neck and kick the chair out from under you if you feel otherwise.
>If people completely forget about the product after a year it's good
This is some low IQ cope. Plenty of single player games that are 10+ years old are still discussed frequently both on here and other sites. The fact of the matter is that Dread is a short, average, and completely forgettable game, hence why only the most diehard of Metroid consoomers still try to force it into conversations.
the graphics/controls sucked wiener compared to metroid fusion. It's horrible in comparison

>nintendies outting themselves as movie game Black folk
Bait.
post 5 seconds of you being a gamer
Pretty sure it sold well. Just because there's no DLC or immediate talks of a sequel doesn't mean it's failing.
Isn't it the best selling Metroid game ever?
I'm sure this must be some poor trolling attempt, but one has to wonder whether subhuman morons who actually call the best selling game in the franchise a "flop" truly exist.
>>No expansion DLC
And that's a good thing. It means they released a complete game.
>>It was forgotten a week after release.
People don't discuss good shit here, so a lack of threads usually means a game was good.
>>No word of a sequel at all.
There will always be a new Metroid, one literally just came out. Calm down you adhd sperg.
Wasn't this up for game of the year at the game awards?
Otherwise, what is there to say? People played it, enjoyed it, beat it, and moved on.
What is the best way to emulate Prime 1?
The GC version or the Wii collection version?
primehack with kb+m controls
>let's illegally pirate Metroid Prime on PC so Nintendo will never make another one again
Why is Ganker like this?
My god, the game isn’t on modern consoles, they lose nothing if you pirate it.
I never understood that reasoning. If the game is not being sold how would pirating the game hurt it's sales?
Don’t ask me, I’m not the one saying it. But yes, Primehack is great and I think Metroid Prime is my new favourite game of all time, beating out Xenogears.
You can't steal what no one is selling. Metroid Prime, like anything not in the current or last gen, is console abandonware.
they literally asked the best way to emulate moron. i fricking emulated it and i own the fricking trilogy metal case and all
>if you pirate, game companies will stop making games
Do people STILL believe this?
This. Some will claim it trivializes the game, but I argue Metroid Prime was never really about combat difficulty in the first place. The movement and aim simply feels more natural than the GC or Wii controls, and you're feeling that smooth control constantly.
Imagine paying full price for a fricking TWO DIMENSIONAL game in 2021. Absolutely embarrassing, 2d should be left in the past, it's outdated garbage like turn based combat.

Holy fricking shit THANK YOU.

oink oink, eric
If the Switch does outsell the PS2 will he kill himself
I don't know if that's possible, but the fact that it's even getting within striking distance of the PS2 is fricking nuts
>114 million vs 158 million
If there ever was a year, this has got to be it
The only way I can see that gap getting closed is with a rather significant price cut.
That being said, the fact that Switch is close to 120 mill without any price cuts at all is absolutely mental.
It just goes to show that the demand for handheld consoles will always be there, mobile's a separate industry
Lol, shitch only sold 2.5 million the entire holiday quarter. PS5 sold over 5 million. Shitch might never pull ahead of PS4.
That's nice, Eric
I know tendies can't read, but does my name look like "eric"? No, it does not, because my name is Victor, short for victory.
calm down Eric, no need to lose your cool
And what does said victory entail?
Victory over backwards ways of thinking. Progress of gaming as a technological achievement. Victory over those who would hold gaming backwards just because the company they're zealots for can't put out hardware stronger than a ps2.
Gaming is not necessarily about pure graphics. It has to be fun to play, and the main point of a game is to be fun, not look pretty. Graphics are last in terms of what a good game should be.
This is pure tendie cope.
So, you’d rather play a boring game with generic art direction that have cutting edge graphics over a game with somewhat worse graphics but is more fun to play and has better art direction?
Tendie "games" are boring with generic art direction with outdated graphics
>outdated graphics
Not him, but that's a (You) problem. I don't generally play games newer than 2005.
That's basically what bingtendo makes, outdated crap from the early 00s, being sold for full price in the 2020s
Cry harder graphicsgay.
The 2000s were considered the best era of gaming. There’s a reason people still talk about PS2 games whereas PS4 and 5 games have faded into obscurity.
Cope, PS5 is the fastest selling system of all time
You’re thinking of the switch.
False
PS5 has more exclusive sthan the shithc
Zero is the number! Zero is the number of choice for good PS4L5 exclusives!
Good night ladies and gentlemen! I will play again when they add one more. Expect me back never!
https://www.club386.com/nintendo-switch-becomes-fastest-selling-games-console-of-all-time/
It outsold the PS4 in 5 years, there’s no way the Switch isn’t.
>Eric is fricking losing it so bad he can't even type properly
oh boy, it's happening again
>zerogames station
Sold half what the switch did. Wow it's sounds like the only one who cares about marginally better graphics for $500 here is you.
Millions of flies live in shit.
What's Victor short for again?
>outdated crap from the early 00s
Back when games were good? Such a tragedy!
Not him but I had more fun playing Doom II than Eternal.
>can't move faster than a snail or have more than 10 enemies on screen because of high poly models and brushes
I'm revoking your based privilege for being a snoy gay.
There is no such thing as "eric", you are a schizo who tries claiming anyone who pushes back on your bullshit has to all be the same person
Eric, you type the same fricking posts in slightly different ways over and over, you aren't fooling anyone anymore.
Just ignore it. You can't reason with schizos. They will just pick a name from a hat and spam it online thinking they are righteous crusaders calling out the evil.
This so much this!

Thank you anon I've been waiting for this for so long now.
frick you
Cringe, you’re a homosexual and Dread was my favourite game of the 2020s so far.
hory shitu
There's nothing wrong with 2D games in the current year. Dread is a bit pricy, but for the most part it's a competent game. Just avoid the marvel capeshit that occasionally ruins some fights.
Stop gargling bingtendo's tiny japanese wiener. 2d is outdated garbage, and there is NO EXCUSE for it in a full priced 3 hour "game" in 2021.
Cry harder. I don't think he heard your first whining.
Says you. My favorite game of the past 15 years is Terraria, and as a 2D game it completely ravages every single 3D game that's come out since. This includes RDR, BOTW, and the Witcher.
You don't need a third dimension to have depth.
>2d is outdated garbage
3D ruined tons of genres--platformers, simulation games, adventure games...
Say what you will but it still holds up, Metroid games are games you can come back to after a year or five and just sit down and enjoy it. Modern games aren’t like that.
>Why did Metroid Dread flop so hard?
It didn't.
Reminder that shitendo fakes their numbers, it actually only sold about 550k based on mathematical analysis done when it launched
I liked both Dread and Hollow Knight.
>want friends to try Metroid
>they were interested in Metroid Dread
>they know it's great judging by the reaction
>but they "refuse to buy an 8 hour game for $60"
>Nintendo games never fricking go on sale
Whelp.
Get them into prime.
They're right, dread isn't worth $60 and I say this as a big metroid fan. It should have been $40 like the other portable metroids
Dread's ost is underrated, and I'm tired of pretending it's not. It's definitely on the lower end of metroid soundtracks, probably only above Other M, but that still puts it better than your average video game ost today by a fair margin.
>Dread's ost is underrated, and I'm tired of pretending it's not. It's definitely on the lower end of metroid soundtracks, probably only above Other M,
Probably why nobody cares. The only people still in these threads are metroid vets.
I disagree, if anything Dread's soundtrack is overrated. Between the unmemorable compositions, poor soundfont choices and absolutely abysmal use of music to establish appropriate atmosphere in certain parts of the game (Elun in particular is absolutely horrible for this) I would not only say it's a bad OST by Metroid standards, but a pretty poor OST in general. Even the tiny handful of standout tracks like Burenia only really stand out in the first place because of just how unimpressive the rest is rather than them simply being that good.
If only Kenji Yamamoto was more involved.
>but that still puts it better than your average video game ost today by a fair margin.
Correct, but this says more about the industry than it does about Dread.
no atmosphere, no good music
>dread
>no atmosphere
Don't care, it was fun, I loved it, and never in a million years would I even expect a new console-budget 2D Metroid to be made in the current era so everything went better than expected.
>best selling game in the series
>flop
Why are Snoyggers literally moronic? These homosexuals said the same thing about SMT V.
Why are you people obsessed with sales? It sold fine and its a fun game, what the frick.
Because morons think sales is a measurement of quality when their are plenty of cases of good games selling poorly and bad games selling well. It doesn’t help that game companies will market games like shit and then get upset that their game only sold 5 million units instead of 6.
Part of this is because AAA graffix whoring has become completely unsustainable financially, and the fact most AAA studios spend the money they EXPECT a game to make long before it actually comes out. If you spent as if the game would sell 6 million, doesn't matter how low budget the game is if it only sells 5.
It’s always funny when companies with unrealistic expectation cause their game to flop and blame everything but themselves.
>what the frick we forced the dev team to ruin their franchise, it’s not our fault the game flopped
>single player game is released
>a month later
>what the frick why is no one talking about it!
Because everyone already talked about it and nothing new is being added to bring more discussion you fricking moron. Do you expect a thread every day for two years of a 10 hour single player game
>I sure liked this game
>so did I
>I didn’t
Instead of making dlc the dev team is probably working on a different game. There was a time when games didn’t get expansions and were fully released games
It’s not anime garbage like Fire Emblem and Xenoblade that’s why
It was already a sequel, after Samus Returns
No cap fr fr
This shit ain't even got a battle pass lmfaooooooo
wtf are you talking about? it's simply the second best metroid game
Why do you gays think everything needs dlc?
They were born after a time where dlc didn't exist and you didn't need batteries for your controller.
GOOD EVENING NINTENDO GENTS TODAY I WILL ENTERTAIN YOU WITH A LIST OF ALL THE PS5 EXCLUSIVES.
THAT IS ALL.
I want to play this game but I'm not spending $89.99 canadian for a 8-10 hour game you play one time and never again. Even used these things go for like $55-$60 and that's too much for what it is. This is a $30-$40 game at best
Play on emus
That image has Marty's RTGI shader integrated, this one is the actual switch.
Then enjoy never playing it because Nintendo will never sell their first party games any lower than 20% off the full retail price
He's a broke Canadian. He needs that money to deal with the in store prices.
People who like metroidvanias will pay full price for one of the only good ones of the past decade. Wow look at that! 2 million copies sold!
>no other Metroidvania is good
Stop being an obnoxious console war fanboy.
That's your opinion and since you're cannadian it means dick.
>canadian
>you play one time and never again.
You never played a single Metroid game, poser homosexual.
>you play one time and never again.
Damn zoomers.
>number of good ps5 games: 0
>number of good switch games: 20
Looks like graphics isn't everything. Heh nothin personnel.
I know it’s a rare occurrence now, but a Nintendo game may actually release in a finished state, and that’s good.
It's okay PlayStation. Maybe Microsoft will let you have Ori
Lol
>>No expansion DLC
>>It was forgotten a week after release.
>>No word of a sequel at all.
Nu-/v/'s definition of a flop is a game that was shipped in a complete state and everyone has already beaten and discussed to death. Good to know
>suddenly
I mean, the game kind of was an appetizer for prime 4. It was just a very good one.
>acgay and eric are in this thread
Is Tim in the thread too? How about Jason? Any other boogeymen you want to prop up?
>autist takes his trip off to defend himself after getting BTFO
Lol
I'm not the tripgay. I like Metroid Dread. Don't you lump him in with me.
Super Metroid was better
Yeah bro fr no cap I already watched all the content bro like where's the content fr on god bro like what else am I supposed to do watch minecraft speedruns again so cringe
>sell a million copies of a genre that everyone said was dead
Sounds like a massive success to me.
Oh you think its forgotten NOW? Just wait until Silksong comes out.
Whenever Silksong comes out, if it comes out, I hope it avoids the pitfalls that Dread fell into. As good a game as it is, it's frustrating that it still has the problems of modern AAA games.
This is a Fire Emblem flopped deflection thread. Every time a weebgay game launches for the Switch, there is a marked increase in Metroid sales doomposting. Same thing happened when XBC3 launched.
Dread in the water flopped
SMT flopped
Persona port flopped
Censorblade flopped
Kirby flopped
Pokemon flopped
Fire emblem is flopping right now
Queers of the kingdom will flop
We're witnessing the death of bingtendo, adn it's glorious
Don't forget, poopbreak also flopped
Hey Eric, you're still doing this persona?
Wow, tendies really are bad at reading. "Eric" does not exist, it's a product of your own delusions.
Uh huh sure dude.
eric no one believes your LARP
Two more weeks! I’m sure no Nintendo game will chart next Thursday.
Normally, I'd accuse this of being a samegay, but eric is a homosexual enabler who will b***h and moan if you even suggest gays and trannies have any negative aspects to their "communities", so I'm not so sure here.
>persona port
>flopped
I'll give you everything else but the persona port actually did really fricking well.
>give him everything else
Just about everything on that list had the highest sales in franchise history, and fricking pokemon sold 10 million in just 3 days. Sales =/= quality, and I'm not trying to make a judgement of quality on anything there, but absolutely nothing listed there would qualify as a flop.
Pokemon sales dropped off a cliff after launch and ragnarok is now ahead of it after the record breaking holiday season ps5 had, while shitch had one of the worst holidays for bingtendo in history. Literally worse than some piiu era holidays because bingtendo still had the 3dshit propping them up. The shitch is dying and they have nowhere left to run.
eric you really should take your meds
I find it fascinating what the word flop means according to Ganker.
For anyone who doesn't know, eric is a rabid snoy who has been active since at least 2017, but has been most well known after he accidentally doxed himself in 2018 while defending mighty number 9. He was doing this because he thought mega man 11 was a switch exclusive, so he had to defend the knock off that was also on playstation for sony's "honor". Last year, he started using his gay fricking victor trip because he legitimately thinks despite his posting style being immediately recognizable to anyone with an iq above a Black person goldfish, this will somehow trick people. He also samegays constantly, and has on several occasions had long conversations with himself, switching the trip on and off every post. Unless he forgets, hastily deletes it, and then reposts the same fricking thing and then claims the archives of the thread are fake.
here's an example of eric samegayging a conversation with himself
https://arch.b4k.co/v/thread/623870402/
Barry has split personalities?
Nah Eric is a different autist.
no we have multiple dedicated shitposters on the board. it's sad but it's the truth
Nah, barry just has a rabid obsession with ff15, and defends forspoken since it's on the same engine, and hates ff16 for being by the director of ff14. Eric will gladly defend anything from forspoken, to genshin impact, to fifa, cod, and ff16, as long as it's on playstation.
Wasn’t Mighty number 9 that awful Mega Man rip off made by the original creator that was crowdfunded and turned out to be terrible?
The very same
I think I saw some video that mentioned it as a bad crowdfunded game. What was wrong with it anyways?
It was a mismanaged disaster that tried to turn it into a multimedia empire series before they even were close to shipping the actual game. The actual game wound up being a glitchy mess of terrible ideas implemented equally poorly that was clearly made on a shoestring budget despite massive funding because they blew all their money on trying to get tv shows and merchandise off the ground long before they had an alpha ready.
Because eric incorrectly thought mega man 11 was switch exclusive though, he HAD to defend the (multiplatform) mighty number 9 and "prove" its superiority.
It's one of those moments, like Callisto Protocol, where auteur theory in games is proven to be complete horseshit and that most of the devs who are actually responsible for a good game are never mentioned.
Metroidvania is a mid tier game genre and Dread in itself is a mid tier Metroidvania. It's not bad, but the fact that David Jaffe was kind of right about this game is a tough pill for Nintendo fans to swallow.
>david jaffe
>right about anything
lol
Samegay
>2 of the posts are less than a minute apart
Eric, please
It's a samegay using his phone for one of them
>le unfalsifiable hypothesis
VERY dumb Black person
What is a good tier genre then?
Walking simulator, unironically
Those are boring as shit. TLOU bored me to death when I played it.
That's because you have the tastes of a literal child and need bright BING BING WAHOO primary colors flashing in your face every second. Actual adults prefer the last of us to kiddie bing bing crap.
Black person, one of my favourite games is Morrowind. That’s coffee brown and ash grey colour scheme. Sorry to tell you, but your walking sim fricking sucks.
Actual adults won't be playing video games in the first place you fricking moron now frick off and have a nice day
Imagine thinking cinematic walking simulators are good. lol
Better than literally EVERYTHING bingtendo has ever put out. You're just coping because the shitch is statistically weaker hardware than a ps2 and can't run any games that look like they were made this century.
>Better than literally EVERYTHING bingtendo has ever put out.
How so?
I don't care how much you hate Nintendo. Nothing is worse than snoy garbage.
Sounds like you're just jealous the shitch is too weak to run it. The shitch unironically can't run kingdom hearts 1 and 2, LITERAL PS2 GAMES, without cloud support. Embarrassing.
but it can run P5R just fine
>The shitch unironically can't run kingdom hearts 1 and 2, LITERAL PS2 GAMES, without cloud support. Embarrassing.
The switch can run witcher 3 and crisis nativity my dude that's just square being lazy homosexuals
>the shitch can "run" witcher 3, I promise!
Yeah, at 240p, 9fps. I wouldn't call that "running" the witcher 3, would you?
P5 on shitch is cloud only
no it fricking isnt you moron
>tendies melt down when called out on their lies
You love to see it, rent free
I’m a PChad, and even I know P5 runs natively on the switch.
Notice how they didn't try to challenge how poorly the witcher 3 looks and runs on shitch. Not at all suspicious.
>P5 on shitch is cloud only
Then how was I able to play it without wifi?
Do you know how emulation works? You need a pretty good PC to be able to run ps2 emulators. The Ps4 probably couldn’t do it.
>the Switch has bad hardware
>this means we should all love walking sims like Xenoblade and Uncharted and Halo
lol no
>that webm
Wherever you stand, I think it's universal human nature to laugh at snoy's and their comedic feminist non-games.
>David Jaffe
kek
Jaffe is the kind of moron that still gets stuck on gaynacuck's "puzzles" even with the game literally telling you exactly what to do at every second
I blame mercury shit
I tried the demo just now, it seems very well made but no way a medium length, single playthrough metroidvania is worth more than 20 bucks.
I've played through dread probably at least 10 times, no joke
I'm assuming the first moron playthrough will end around the 8 hour mark at best, the rest will be speed running?
8 hour in game timer
It doesn't count any time in a menu or when you die after a boss fight, you're looking at around 10 hours on average for an actual first playthrough, without going out of your way to 100%.
Then I did a 100% hard mode playthrough
Then I did a couple pseudo speedruns on each difficulty for the gallery unlocks
Then I did a few more fun runs, like hardmode and grabbing as few powerups as I could, sequence breaks, etc
Then I did one more when dread mode came out, wouldn't really recommend it
And then a shit ton of time in boss rush
I'm at run 13 and still haven't touched Dread mode, it just doesn't sound fun.
Yeah, Dread has a lot of replayability. It’s a very fun game, but personal game of the 2020s so far.
It did?
Yeah, it's actually the second worst-selling Metroid game ever.
A game's success is not measured in how many obnoxious homosexuals talk about it.
>Flop
It's the best selling metroidvania ever, what do you mean flop?
What's the deal with Samus's face/visor that it requires it's own HD texture pack for Primehack when the rest of the suit scales up with resolution fine?
Why don't you check the numbers. It's the best selling game in the entire series.
>trusting bingtendo's proven fake numbers
No thanks, I have an iq above 50
It’s a crime to lie to investors. Anyways, how much do you think it sold.
More like below 50 if you unironically believe nintendo faked numbers they had to show to their investors.
>I have an iq above 50
Yeah, alphabetically. Eight.
It's the best selling Metroid game of all time and is wildly popular with Metroid fans, with many even saying it rivals or surpasses Super in some ways. In what would is that a flop?
Failed samegay
nice try moron
I have to say this. Today, I’m coming out as trans and am going to dilate my neovag daily. I will also complain about games I never played and have no idea what they’re like.
Outstanding work this time, eric.
>samegay
>forget to remove your trip
>repost your comment to yourself
>frick it up AGAIN by replying to your original reply instead of your original post
>delete everything and pretend no one noticed
He's probably gonna say the archives are fake whenever this gets brought up
heres another time he did the same exact thing
It's almost the same, but this one is honestly even funnier from the extra layer of fail for accidentally replying to his original botched samegay instead of his post, and having to delete that too
wonder what thread he's going to run away to now
Wow, he deleted his posts just like they said he would.
Remember this the next time he tries his "uhhhh, actually eric doesn't exist" schtick, or his more recent "uhhhh, actually if you complain about me, I mean him, you're just as bad, actually probably worse" routine.
What compels a person to do this shit? I'm not the most neurotypical guy myself but this is going 10 miles out of your own way to be cringe. If Eric is actually his real name, maybe shut the frick up and hope some moron doesn't make it their life's mission to dox you like that anon who said his sister did porn.
Eric literally doxed himself on accident, that's the reason we know his name
Can you send the archive link?
It's from 2018, no way I'm finding that before the thread gets bumped off
Oh, yeah, well that sucks. Even so, I'd just keep my head down and just allow people to forget, if that's even possible. If you continue to make a fuss, you make it harder to forget.
If eric was smart enough to walk away, he wouldn't have doxed himself over defending mighty number 9, solely because he saw mighty number 9 vs mega man 11 as a proxy fight between Sony and Nintendo.
Sony needs to hire better shills.
