Current Events > Super Metroid is one of the most overrated games of all time.

(+) Yeah! (+)

And admittingly it's because of this shit game that a shit ton of people isn't able to enjoy Fusion.

People isn't

it's people ain't you pleeb
---

I agree with you that Fusion is the best Metroid. Super's got some really fucky physics that just don't work well.
---

I am literally triggered by this topic.
---

Fusion was okay.

Metroid Prime is a classic
---

It's not really overrated; it's just popular for the weirdest reasons.

I mean it's literally the fan favorite of the series almost exclusively because it's the glitchiest/most broken.

It's still a great game though. The only complaint I have is bad controls.
---

People's reason to love SM is the freedom(or the feeling of being lost) the game gave you apparently where as Fusion there was this computer giving you direction. Apparently this was an earth scorching deal breaker.
---

Fusion is definitely my 2nd favorite 2d Metroid behind Super. The hand holding was rough though.
---

I really liked Fusion. However that was IN SPITE of the linearity and frequent, forced check-in dialogue you constantly have to read through
---

why do you have such shit opinions about everything??
---

*aren't able to enjoy Fusion

Fusion is great the first time through.

Super Metroid, Prime 1, and Zero Mission just have better replay value.
---

I like Zero Mission the best but Fusion was great too.
Super was good enough to get far but I didn't finish it.

How many Metroid games have you played Veggeta.
---

SM, Fusion and Zero Missions
---

Ive played original 1, 2, Super, Fusion, Zero Mission, Prime 2, Hunters, Samus Returns

I know my Metroid dude

I said I liked Fusion. Super also has flaws but I like the kind of open game it is. Exploration in these kinds of games is what really adds the extra fun factor for me
---

Zero Mission also had that thing where they told you where to go next. Ain't no one threw a temper tantrum over it, though unlike they did with Fusion.
---

Fusion ruined Metroid.

Even Nintendo said it was a mistake.

Edit: I'm not being fair to Fusion. There was nowhere to go but down after the perfection that was Super Metroid. It's not Fusions fault.

You could avoid all but one of the statues I believe.

It wasnt as bad or frequent, you could skip a few of them, and there wasnt long dialogue chains.

Theres also points in the game specifically where they dont tell you where to go.

Fusion being a piss poor Metroid doesn't make Super Metroid overrated.

Sorry you were born after 1990 and didn't get to experience greatness.

bad opinion

Super's got some really fucky physics that just don't work well.

I'm pretty sure that's supposed to simulate low gravity because it's an alien planet.

Something that every other Metroid seemed to forget.

1. SM was not as good as you remembered
2. You think it is too great which is why you wont allow yourself to enjoy Fusion

Trust me, if Fusion solved world hunger you'd still think its bad because you blindly love SM too much.

Your percentage for trolling was 83%.

See you next shitpost.

@Skye_Reynolds calls everything he disagrees with trolling. More at 9

From the topic title, you might've been sincere. But when you call it shit and act like Fusion is some sort of masterpiece, you have to be trolling.

Get mad at me thinking your favorite game is a pos.
---

I would have enjoyed Fusion more without all the chatting and on-rails progression, or at least, I didn't like the way Fusion handled it.

And that's hardly due to bias for Super, as I loved Prime 1&2 (never got to play Prime 3), and those two were not only a radical departure for the franchise in general, but both of them were filled with endless amounts of text via scanning and Echoes in particular had segments where you were literally just following the reverberating dots, yet those two never got on my nerves the same way Fusion did (to the extent that I never even finished it).
---

Super Metroid is the best game of all time, but I get not liking it. Fusion isn't great though. Good gameplay, but awful structuring.

If you're going to take any non-SM game and call it the best you have to go with Zero Mission (or Prime 1 tbh.) You'd be wrong, but at least you can defend the position.

Well you tell yourself whatever you need to-to justify how awesome Super is and how shitty Fusion was. Fusion gave the series a plot, a sense of direction, character development and a better sense of horror. All these gifts simply flushed down the toilet because of the fanboyism over SM.
---

I love it. People are proving me right.
---

I get preferring Fusion. Fusion was my first 2D Metriod, and I didn't play Super until years later. But what about super makes it "shit" to you? The controls with grappling beam and changing secondary weapons in general is sloppy, but how could that make the game outright bad?

It sound like you just don't like Super Metroid fanboys, and project that onto the game.
---

Veggeta_MAX posted...

Fusion gave the series a plot

Return of Samus leading into SM did, but okay.

a sense of direction

The series always had one. Isolation on an alien world.

character development

It did a poor job of this. The manga that came out the same year as Fusion did a substantially better job of this.

and a better sense of horror.

Sure, but Metroid is as much a horror franchise as it is a puzzle franchise. Not really relevant to the quality of the games.

It's a great game and it introduced me to the Metroid franchise

Being stalked by SA-X was the only new aspect about Fusion I liked, so I'll give you the improvement on horror, but that wasn't enough to redeem the whole thing.

As for "plot, a sense of direction, character development"... certain aspects about Fusion is how we ended up with Other M, more specifically Samus' obsession over Adam, babies, and why the handholding got ramped into overdrive. While it's not Fusion's fault that Nintendo took something with potential and shit the bed so hard it got on the ceiling, it does get all-due credit for being the Metroid that put ideas into their head that frankly the series never really needed.

I prefer Samus being a stoic, if one-dimensional, badass to the ovary-less little bitch they tried to turn her into, and a deep over-arching plotline wasn't a huge selling point to me (not even with Prime's attempts).

Not every alien planet has lower gravity than Earth though.

lol @ people saying Fusion is better than Super. That's what a wrong opinion looks like.

I think one thing we can all agree on is that Samus is a shit fighter in Smash Ultimate and Dark Samus is even worse. Maybe one day Samus will ascend to high-tier status. Maybe one day.

Armored space fighter with amplified strength and like 30 kinds of missiles

Has been the worst character in every single Smash Bros game

Super Metroid should not have been the series peak, but it was.
