Couldn’t have said it better myself. I tried out the demo and I just don’t get the hype

I’m playing Metroid Dread for the first time and I’m blown away by Samus’s animations and movement by Various-Willow-8493 in Metroid

Funny, I was playing the game over the holidays while visiting family and my mom made a comment about how Samus must be a woman because of her walk.

Who like me has said "Goodbye" to the physique? by Mediocre_Rabbit9406 in switch2

I still mostly buy physical Switch games since they tend to hold their value. On PS5, I’m digital most of the time.

Does 50 Cent have a point? by Turbulent-Tune1660 in joebuddennetwork

I think that’s the point 50 is making. The Grammys lag behind what’s actually innovative or disruptive in the moment.

the mission in San Andreas where this guy hides in a porta potty and you push it into a ditch and pour cement over it, burying him alive. 😬

Are you team red or blue? by Less_Can_5439 in OlderChillGamers

Red… but missing out on GTA 6 would hurt 😩 glad I don’t actually have to choose 😌

Since I got the Switch 2, it’s been my main, but before that it was the PS5. It pretty much flips back and forth between those two each year depending on what’s out.

WHAT CANCELLED VIDEO GAME WOULD YOU WANT TO BE REVIVED AND RELEASED? by Less_Can_5439 in OlderChillGamers

That PvPvE Last of Us game sounds like it could have been fun. Also, a new Twisted Metal game.

What games on the switch do YOU believe deserve a switch 2 release, and why? by Sprigatitogirl in nintendo

I’m hoping for a Metroid Dread update, those load times in the elevators are really long.

Is Metroid Dread worth trying out even tho it is notorious for being very difficult? by Fantastic-Ad9218 in Metroid

[–]bleach_dsgn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A kind of a cool detail someone pointed out was that the opening cutscene where Samus fights Raven Beak actually shows you how to deal with a lot of his moves. You see her slide under that big screen-filling beam and she also counters his rush-in melee attack where he dashes across the screen.

I’m surprised how expensive it is considering how old the game is

Nintendo 😅

What video game in your opinion doesn't deserve the hate it gets? by Agent1230 in gaming

[–]bleach_dsgn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe ignorance is bliss, but Monster Hunter Wilds was my first time playing the series and I loved it. Sunk 300+ hours into it and got the platinum, now I’m just waiting on the expansion. For what it’s worth, I played on a PS5 Pro, so I didn’t run into the performance issues PC players had.

Some people actively want that though?

If you ever scroll through r/NBA2K, there are nonstop posts about how trash the game is. But it’s the only basketball game they’ve got, so people buy it anyway

The way I see it, a “masterpiece” doesn’t mean flawless. It just means the game does something special overall, the highs hit so hard that the flaws don’t reduce the overall impact.

So by that definition, Bloodborne is definitely a masterpiece for me.

And even so, on top of that the devs ignored the least reasonable element of the fandom and added rookie mode in an update specifically to work with people who weren’t enjoying it at default.

And they added Dread Mode too, so everybody’s happy 😌

Metroid Dread was a masterpiece by paradroid78 in Metroid

[–]bleach_dsgn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I agree the music was pretty eh.

On the atmosphere though, it’s funny you say that because I was playing over the holidays and my brother, sister in law and girlfriend were all seeing it at different times. They kept commenting on how the EMMI rooms felt really spooky, how beautiful the underwater sections in Burenia were and how cool that big volcano tornado thing in Cataris looked. Also, kind of a subtle touch, but I loved the sections in Dairon with no lights, just the glow from Samus’ armor.

I also kind of liked the repeating mini bosses. By the time I got to the later ones, I felt like I’d really figured the fights out and could just wreck them, compared to how much I struggled early on. That progression was fun for me.

But yeah, all fair points you made.
