Victor83fernandes, first off, no one else in here is calling people out for liking a certain game. You have basically thrown down the gauntlet to the overwhelming number of people responding to this poll that are most excited to play this game.

And you’re using a remake of a subpar (because it first came out on the game boy) Metroid game by a studio new to the franchise as the basis for your argument.

That’s where your support for this position really falls apart. Metroid Dread is the first new game in the 2D Metroid series in 19 years. It is the conclusion of a saga that began on the NES. It looks amazing, and it features what seems to be a very frightening AI program to basically hunt you.

The hunter becomes the hunted.

My best advice really would be just to like whatever game(s) you like and not call out this bunch for being obviously excited, and no, not just by nostalgia, but by the obvious high level of entertainment this title promises to offer.

But I have a feeling that you do get a rush from being contrary in this moment and that you’ll enjoy all the pushback you get, and that’s what makes forums work so well. So stick with it. I hope you enjoy your strategy game. I love all kinds of games, and even the most banal or repetitive or nostalgic I wouldn’t begrudge someone being excited for. It is their gaming tastes after all.
