Was Metroid ever good
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 12th, 2026 5:51 PM Author: cowgod 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 6:09 PM Author: OYT and the Indie Reprieve ( ) even MGS he claims to like but I remember one time he brought out that old canard “oh stealth isn’t fun gameplay” or something like that. What the fuck? Stealth is the entire point of MGS. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5821225&forum_id=2#49584282) |

Date: January 12th, 2026 6:30 PM Author: cowgod 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) |

Date: January 12th, 2026 6:30 PM Author: ,.,.,:,,:,..,:::,...,:,.,.:...:.,:.:: in the 80s, Metroid was the only one of the super longform 'epic' games I could tolerate. i absolutely hated 'Zelda.'
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. |

Date: January 12th, 2026 6:57 PM Author: fully online and responsive NES Metroid - maybe cool at the time but really hard to play now, confusing layout easy to get lost, still worth playing
Game Boy - Metroid II: Return of Samus - same issues as NES but cooler atmosphere and worth playing imo especially the colorized version
Super Nintendo - Super Metroid 180 GOATED game and still holds up today
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
Nintendo DS: Metroid Prime Pinball, Metroid Prime: Hunters - Didn't play this shovelware shit
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 |

Date: January 12th, 2026 7:11 PM Author: cowgod Pretty much credited I guess. But I still wonder if the whole thing is mass millennial psychosis since the games aren’t addictive. Also since Metroid Prime 1’s popularity is a mass fanboy psychosis it has me questioning the whole franchise.. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5821225&forum_id=2#49584520) |
