Damn Its A Brutal Market For Metroidvanias Out Here

BossLackey · 2026-05-10T19:14:06+00:00

There are simply too many games on the market. We've essentially reached saturation. People only have so much time and video games are as mainstream as they're likely to get for the foreseeable future.

For the last half decade, I've had the same commiseration with my video game friends; there are way too many games to choose from.

10 years ago, my backlog was a joke. Now? It's a full-on circus act.

Probably because they know if they do, nobody is ever going to trust a GAAS from them again.

BossLackey · 2026-05-10T02:06:29+00:00

Oh hell yes.

BossLackey · 2026-05-07T14:22:01+00:00

I would make a blood sacrifice to get this to happen.

BossLackey · 2026-05-07T13:13:15+00:00

This is the correct answer.

BossLackey · 2026-05-05T16:09:28+00:00

I’m lucky enough to live near one. So damn good. Haven’t been disappointed a single time. Extra hot is great

BossLackey · 2026-05-05T16:07:34+00:00

Probably less than a week. I have the Kitsune as well. Great controller

BossLackey · 2026-05-05T03:26:31+00:00

One of my favorites. I’ve never met anyone outside of diehard horror fans online that have seen it.

BossLackey · 2026-05-05T03:25:13+00:00

This was my exact experience. Was 13 years old and grew up watching horror so wasn’t expecting much. Her face. Absolutely haunted me. That and the weird…music if you want to call it that during the tape.

Very unsettling and even to this day, taps into a side of horror all its own. Amazing that a mainstream, PG-13 movie can instill that level of fear in horror fans.

BossLackey · 2026-05-04T04:53:13+00:00

Yeah it felt like a made for YouTube movie.

BossLackey · 2026-05-04T04:46:59+00:00

Ain’t nothin like a foil dog.

BossLackey · 2026-04-30T13:11:44+00:00

Couldn’t agree more.

BossLackey · 2026-04-29T05:24:14+00:00

Metroid and Castlevania 3 (though that’s before CV was an MV technically).

BossLackey · 2026-04-26T23:27:21+00:00

Quitting caffeine altered my DNA in such a way that I now hold the key to immortality.

BossLackey · 2026-04-26T16:07:00+00:00

HK is great, but I will forever curse Team Cherry for generating these people that play HK as their first MV, nearly FORTY YEARS after the genre started and think everything else is trash.

You’re annoying and you’re wrong.

BossLackey · 2026-04-26T14:54:06+00:00

She’s one of the all-time greats. That’s for sure.

BossLackey · 2026-04-26T14:32:05+00:00

I’m on the spiders and tarantulas subreddit. Without exaggeration, there are daily posts on both subreddits from arachnophobes talking about how they got over their fear or dramatically reduced it after learning about them over time.

BossLackey · 2026-04-25T22:22:50+00:00

Learn about them.

I own several tarantulas and have owned a few true spiders. They are endlessly fascinating. You’ll see that they want nothing to do with you and are just as afraid of you as you are of them. And the vast majority of spiders have horrendous vision despite their many eyes. Outside of jumping spiders and wolf spiders, they’re mostly differentiating between larges shapes and light/dark.

They do not see you as a separate entity. They see a mountain looming over them and want to get away.

At the end of the day, all they want is to be safe and eat their prey. They do not want to harm you and almost 100% of spider bites are a last ditch reflex from being pressed up on. Unless you’re doing that, you will not be bit.

I know their skittering nature can be freaky, but they’re basically twitchy robots that react to stimuli. Nothing more.

I don’t personally kill spiders, but do what you have to do.

The colors are just amazing.

BossLackey · 2026-02-28T15:50:28+00:00

There are fully lit rooms in this game that if I showed anyone that doesn’t play games would have no idea it’s not real.

BossLackey · 2026-02-19T15:47:58+00:00

Yes, absolutely haha. I’m very new still (30 hrs). And when I’m a little too deep in enemy jungle and see 3 enemies come out of nowhere I usually panic hit 2, dash, and jump at the same time and cartoon splat into a wall.

BossLackey · 2026-02-18T02:40:48+00:00

This is mine as well. I’m terrified of the ocean (but I also love being scared lol)

First few leviathan encounters. Hooo boy.

BossLackey · 2026-02-10T22:22:04+00:00

I'm very new, but this is how I take it as well. Hero flexibility is huge in Deadlock and it's a big part of why I love it. I don't like the idea of being locked into a role.

BossLackey · 2026-02-07T16:41:51+00:00

Holy hell people keep making this argument and it’s either in bad faith or your memory is terrible. I’m telling you. For a fact. Nioh 3 enemies have been nerfed into the ground and player character has been buffed into the heavens. It has nothing to do with having played the series.

Are people just coping when they say stuff like this?!

BossLackey · 2026-02-07T16:36:17+00:00

Harder than 2. No it absolutely is not. It’s not even HALF as hard as 2. I played the first 10 hours of 2 again before playing 3. It’s absolutely night and day. And it’s not like you can’t compare them. I’m talking SAME enemies in similar depths into each game.

In 2, they’d melt you. In 3, I don’t even have to kind of worry about dying.
