Metroid Dread discussion

When Other M was released I was beyond excited. I was so happy to see a return to more the of the 2D elements. The recreation of the final scene from Super Metroid was jaw dropping.

Then the game released, and while I enjoyed much of the gameplay, the story just took all the air out of my sails and I still haven’t gone back to replay the title.

I just hope that for all the fanfare this title is creating that what we get lives up to the Metroid I have loved since ‘87. Everyone watching the trailers seem to indicate that it will, but heading in to Other M I never would have predicted how much I would hate hearing Sami’s say “the baby.”

We’ve got a hit on our hands here (even before it has hit shelves) and I just hope the hype is worthy.

Well, if Samus Returns is anything to go by, I strongly doubt Dread will be a disappointment. Same developer, same style... but more everything xD

It might generate some minor controversies here and there (just like some people critizised SR for the Scan Pulse, the melee counter and the inclusion of THAT final boss among other things), but I'm 99% certain that at the very least it will be an incredibly enjoyable game with a huge map to explore, filled with secrets to discover, sporting the fastest and frenetic gameplay of the series so far and with some juicy lore for we longtime Metroid fans to dig in. That's the minimum I think we are gonna get.

From there... It can become the best game of the series or just a competent Metroid game. Either way... it's been 19 years. The fact that we are getting the game at all is worth the hype, even if in the end Dread ends up being just "good".
