A good game? In 2022? This is unacceptable. It must be ruined with tedious gameplay which encourages microtransactions. That's what gaming is now. Profit for the 1%. Not fun.
As a once serious gamer who is now middle aged with a kid, Dread was quality and I'm glad Nintendo is still committed to the franchise, but honestly it was legit far more difficult than I remember Super Metroid being as a teenager. The EMMI sections almost made me give up a couple of times. I have maybe 30-40 minutes a day to play video games anymore. I just want to enjoy that brief time I can reconnect with my youth, not spend it infuriated.
For what it's worth they added an easy mode in an update later. Not having it on launch was a shame, though I personally played on normal and thought it was the right level of difficulty. Not easy but it was pretty fair, restarts were fast and most sections took like three tries at most.
I never played Metroid Dread so I probably missed a lot of cool stuff they added (or maybe not) but last I heard they added a new difficulty mode and a Boss Rush mode
Never played Halo so I don't know what MC can do other than shoot guns, slash with laser sword and use grapple beam, but Samus can do all of that and way more
It's a very good game. It wasn't ruined by the grubby hands of Nintendo higher ups like Nintendo Switch Sports, the new Mario strikers games and games they've made under the guise of new free content when it actuality, the game is just unfinished.
It is a really good game. The Metroid series is loved for good reasons (Super Metroid, released in 1993, is still considered one of the best games of all time), and Dread is good enough and loyal enough to the series to stand alongside the best of the series. It may not be the best Metroid game, but it is certainly up there.
Edit: Cool downvotes. I guess I'll fix this reply up and preface it with: there's a lot of great games that aren't by Nintendo that are also played for 2 months and then put away, or "forgotten". Idiots.

"now" implying that in the past big companies didn't care about the monetization.
You're just playing the wrong games, literally just a couple companies doing that which is a fraction of the gaming market
Dude Elden Ring came out in 2022. By default that makes this an amazing year for gaming. Doesn't matter what shitty companies try to ruin it.
Also when your fans are mad, focus on like two death threats and call the fandom toxic

That's completely fine and fair not sure why people are down voting lmao. Hope you get to enjoy games more eventually

Same boat as you, when I had time to game I forgot the control and emmi would alway get me trying to remember how to slide
there were several sections that were outright horseshit. I dreaded the emmi sections but for all the wrong reasons
Well to be fair the EMMIs were designed to be scary as fuck to face and they did a great job on that
Pretty much the only requirement for a good game
Good game
Infinite overall is a very disappointing halo game, and throws all the other 15 named main characters out the window, fuck 343
Didn't people bitch about the 15 named characters?
Metroid Dread is in fact a pretty based game
cries in Covenant
What what what
I should replay Halo Infinite once Co-op is out
"once coop is out"
Chief deserves better, fuck 343
Doom eternal is better than halo infinite
fucking most recent shooters are better than halo infinite and it's sad
What did they add in updates lol?
I never played Metroid Dread so I probably missed a lot of cool stuff they added (or maybe not) but last I heard they added a new difficulty mode and a Boss Rush mode
A one hit kill challenge mode, easy mode and boss rush
Extra side content that wasn't even needed. Wait you guys usually have to wait for your games to be fixed via updates?
it should be considered a fucking crime what 343 did to halo infinite
Why do people hate Infinite so much
Good gameplay with terrible progression, customization, shitty monetization and long droughts of no content.
Infinite is fun game just not a good game
Ahhh, you got me bro, I still wish that halo is with us
The only thing I disagree with is the update part and partially the level design part.
They updated the game to have two extra difficulties and a boss rush
Who would win in a fight: Samus or Master Chief?
Samus, by a mile.
Chief. I like him more.
Samus. This has been played out in
I'd say Samus. Idk much about Halo but Samus is pretty absurd.
As of Dread, Samus.
Never played Halo so I don't know what MC can do other than shoot guns, slash with laser sword and use grapple beam, but Samus can do all of that and way more
Samus can shoot through walls, teleport, and basically has infinite ammo. She'd win easily. Now Samus against doom guy that's a fight I wanna see.
I tought anon was talking about halo because of pic
That’sthejoke
Is Metroid dead really that good? It seems every game published by Nintendo is circle jerked into godhood then forgotten about 2 months later
I think it’s pretty good!!

If you are a fan of Metroid like I am it's amazing, probably my favorite in the series
