A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

i recently streamed metroid fusion but had to stop cause the infinite spin jump simply didnt work, very sad cause its a good one

It's not in Dread either. Drives me crazy.

It is in fusion tho, it just LITERALLY didnt work correctly, i got it working maybe once or twice and than never again

idk how i managed to get up to the final boss in dread, but i really didnt like it, the big selling points of the robots where so annoying, like a pale imitation of the samus x of....fusion

I spent 200+ hours with Dread when it came out. Shiniest new toy in awhile so I played the hell out of it. I tried playing it the other week and it doesn't really feel like Metroid to me now.

Long ass opening with an intro fight we can't even play.
Samus flies across the room. She's way way too fast.
Far too much of a focus on boss fights.
Weakest exploration in the series.
Super missiles don't bounce off anything.
The scary robots are in obvious locations and can just be run past.

Super Metroid is still top dog. If you want a modern metroidvania check out Axiom Verge.
