Was Metroid ever good
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 12th, 2026 5:51 PM Author: excitant nofapping mental disorder After watching 500 Metroid videos on YouTube, my curiosity was piqued. Got Samus Returns for 3DS. I cannot play the game for more than like 45 minutes without being like “fuck this” and putting it down. Had the same experience with Super Metroid in 1995.
Also I have Huge Hands so using a handheld for an action game sucks. 7” dick btw.
A lot of Nintendo games are like this. There are very few that are addictive enough to hook you the way that western Scumgineers strive to get gamers hooked on their insipid, predatory shovelware.

Date: January 12th, 2026 6:30 PM Author: excitant nofapping mental disorder Also MGS1 is a Trojan horse fake stealth game. It’s just a vehicle to deliver Cutscenes and boss fights. “Stealth” and being a 1 man stealthy killing machine is the bait to get the common Scum hooked. You spend like 40 minutes of the entire MGS1 playthrough Sneaking. The others are hit and miss. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5821225&forum_id=2#49584341) |

Tenchu was the first true pure stealth Game of that Gen, and I think it even came out before MGS1 IIRC |

then post NES/SNES, when 'games' started getting super complicated, and took like 5 weeks of daily effort to 'play,' I dropped video games entirely. that shit is gay. i hate to even imagine the state of things today.
these kids are playing 'games' like it's a full time job. |

Nintendo GameCube: Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - Didn't play these, looked lame
Game Boy Advance: Metroid Fusion, Metroid: Zero Mission - Both 10/10 masterpieces

Wii: Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Metroid: Other M - Didn't play, looked. Trash
Nintendo 3DS: Metroid Prime: Federation Force - utter shit, Metroid: Samus Returns - excellent game
Nintendo Switch: Metroid Dread - 180 game, Metroid Prime 4 - looks really bad |

Super Metroid has a contiguous lava zone that leads to a more dangerous and badass lava zone leading to Ridley. Nothing really matched that buildup in the successor games afaik.

Date: January 13th, 2026 11:06 AM Author: excitant nofapping mental disorder Prime 1 sold a lot, Prime 2-4 didn’t. Nintendo fans don’t take the hint that it sucked and was forcememed bc GameCube was on the cusp of Ruin and it was T-rated, so fans and reviewers all worshiped it despite the lack of entertainment value
Same thing with FF8 selling a lot bc of FF7. FF9 didn’t sell as well because people felt burned out after FF8
MGS2 sold like crazy bc of MGS1. MGS3’s sales were way lower because the common Scum hated raiden
I can make this point 100 times on the internet and the common shitlib NPCs will say it’s because of The Economy and their favorite game actually isn’t hated by legions of Scum. |

|
Date: January 13th, 2026 11:16 AM Author: excitant nofapping mental disorder 3 million is really good for a GameCube game. Especially when you consider that it was only popular in the west.
