Wow, Metroid Dread really is the Soulsborne of Metroid (no spoilers thread)

"honey"?
You really do seem like a triggered console warrior. Jumping into a thread to derail with nothing but name calling and overly dramatic capslock and emoji riddled drive-by posts rather than actually engaging in discussion. Quit behaving like a child and shitposting. It's not clever and it has no value.

Look, we all need to acknowledge that when two people disagree online, the person who starts throwing around emojis, caps, and endearing nicknames (sarcastically), like there is no tomorrow, is always triggered.
it always comes with a transparent air of “I’m not upset! This is so funny to me!”
Reddit has taught me this.

I'm excited. The game has a parry, so it makes sense the enemies would be more aggressive than previous Metroid games.
Congrats to Mercury Steam.

I'm glad they upped the difficulty, and the parry is the best thing to ever come to the Metroid franchise. The old games gameplay is a limitation of their time. If you took those old game's stories and adapted them to any other form of media, Samus and her enemies would be fast as hell, reacting at high speeds dodging and attacking each other. Other M was the first game i really understood just how dangerous Ridley was as an enemy and creature in general.

Knowing Nintendo and their unwillingness to drop prices, very keen to hear your impressions when you finally get to play the game in 2029.

Metroid Dread review - a sublime return for a Nintendo icon
It has been, long-suffering fans will not need reminding, some years since Metroid's last proper outing. How long exact…

Either you are really good at Metroid games or haven't played too many of them. (I don't mean that as an attack)
Metroid games are always tough, I can't even think of an "easy" one.
edit- I've never played Other M or the 3DS titles. I've played all the other games though, never beat any of them, lol.

I woud not call them easy but they are not actively difficult in the same terms of a souls game, IMO.
They always had a good difficultly curve and never overly difficult for the sake of being difficult.

Its the exact same as most modern games, i feel it unnecessary, for example games with save points have autosaving i wish it could be turned off :/

I hate it so much when game use lack of checkpoints to pretend they are "difficult"... a difficult game is difficult because the player needs skills for the upcoming challenge, not because could get unlucky by getting killed after beating a very difficult boss and at the exit a low level minion happened to be waiting to attack... and have to repeat all over again until beating that boss again (looking at you, Metroid Fusion... I even made a rant thread lol), that's just trolling and not fun, I'd rather have several checkpoints and difficult challenges one after another than checkpoint trolling, if I didn't played the 3DS Metroid already, I'd be worried and could probably skip Dread until I confirm they don't do this shit again cause that's basically shitting on player's effort and time

I mean aside from difficulty spikes with II and Echoes every Metroid game is easier than the last. Difficulty just isnt a focus with Metroid really.

Game is pure joy, I stopped after the first boss, I thought it was amazing despite it having what I usually would hate, it is just so perfectly executed here.
yes.

There was a thread shut down on here already with people trying to promote pirating the game, which has leaked already. But some people do probably have a legitimately early copy somehow.

Yeah I agree. Souls games have a crude level up system and is the only reason why they seem challenging. Metroid is it's own genre and is primarily a run and gun kind of game.

Yeah, "Sekiro's high difficulty" just meant I would grind a lot early so that dying against a boss or new enemy wouldn't result in a big EXP loss.

Do you have to have played the other games to enjoy this?
I've only played a part of Super.

I love FROM games but Metroid and Souls series are two different games with different gameplay loop, just because a game is difficult it doesn't make it "Soulborne".
I HATE this stupid trend with passion.
But grind what exactly? Sekiro is not RPG like Souls series and only way you get attack boots is after you beat a major story boss.

Just the various skills and stuff. I wasnt doing it to over-level or anything I just didn't feel like losing a bunch of EXP because I died twice on a boss. I grinded a bunch in the beginning until it went too slow to be off much use then just played through normally. Occasionally I'd grind again here and there whenever I got close to having enough skill points for another unlock and then resume.

Sekiro doesn't really have RPG status for people to grind in order to beat bosses. Other than Mikiri counter most skills are not MUST in order to beat the game.

I'm just going to leave you with a couple tidbits. This game is hard af, it punishes you like a Souls game, it has the best controls of any 2D game I've ever played, and it's probably the best game on Switch.
I don't expect it to get BOTW scores only because reviewers are too soft for this level of gaming,

The correct genre is Action-Adventure.
Or simply an Action game.
Souls formula games are very much grind for EXP currency to level up or improve your character. To the point it's tedious. The only Souls game I genuinely like is Nioh 2 and primarily because anything the game can do you can do it too.
Of all the gameplay I've seen for Dread I haven't seen anything close to unforgiving game design that is found in a lot of FROM Software games and those mimicking it. Do I think it will be challenging? Yes but not as Archaic as what you call Soulsborne. Memorization of the maps and every enemy type isn't required.
