Was Metroid ever good
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 12th, 2026 5:51 PM Author: passionate claret spot 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.

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.

Tenchu was the first true pure stealth Game of that Gen, and I think it even came out before MGS1 IIRC |

Same thing with FF8 selling a lot bc of FF7. FF9 didn’t sell as well because people felt burned out after FF8
MGS2 sold like crazy bc of MGS1. MGS3’s sales were way lower because the common Scum hated raiden
I can make this point 100 times on the internet and the common shitlib NPCs will say it’s because of The Economy and their favorite game actually isn’t hated by legions of Scum. |
