ellis123 02/22/22 12:27:09 PM #4:	If you like the Metroid style gameplay it's really solid and generally only gets better as the game goes on. It's also a great game for sequence breaking (though most of it is actually pretty free form in the first place) as they've put in a ton of little details based on you having things that you shouldn't technically have at that point in time. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

I mean Dread is a clear, clear improvement over Samus Returns but it does indeed still have issues related to it. QTE bosses, awful boss repetition in the second half and I hate the damn counter mechanic. The controls also get wacked when they could have done something like, say, allow you to toggle the missiles instead of needing to hold R the entire time.

CyricZ 02/22/22 1:00:49 PM #19:	TheOtherMike posted... Samus Returns was also very good. I feel that the worst part of SR was the fact that it was on a 3DS, which doesn't lend itself well to tightly controlled games. Scale up to a console and a controller and that diminishes considerably. Also I feel like I can barely play a 3DS anymore. I get all scrunched up with my face right next to it and my hands get all crampy and I can't get comfortable so I'm leaning on an arm that's going to start hurting and maybe I'm just fucking old. --- CyricZ He/him <cite>CyricZ posted [p:962868673] in Should I b...

CyricZ 02/22/22 1:09:22 PM #22:	[LFAQs-redacted-quote] Honestly if I have a criticism of Dread it's this with regards to the backgrounds. There's not a lot of variance in the biomes. It's largely cave, tech, and lab. There is fire and ice stuff but it's kind of segregated into short series of rooms. I think the enemies are largely good though. --- CyricZ He/him <cite>CyricZ posted [p:962868897] in Should I b...

A Switch port with the melee dash and maybe one or two other improvements would be nice, but this is Nintendo so I'm not holding my breath. CyricZ posted...

Same. Hand cramping is the worst part for me. Honestly having Dread I don't expect to replay SR again any time soon, if at all. It's too bad because imo Diggernaut, MQ, and ~~Proteus Ridley~~ are some of the best bosses in the series. <cite>TheOtherMike posted [p:962868934] in Should I b...

Jiek_Fafn 02/22/22 1:17:09 PM #26:	I just beat it over the weekend. I liked it well enough, but had some minor issues. As someone mentioned, the control scheme could use some tweaking. Running/shine sparking to get powerups is pretty bad and beam/missle/grappling is easy to screw up in the middle of a tough situation. I also didn't care for it temporarily locking you out of some areas that you've been to. It manages to keep you better on the path of advancing, but sometimes I just want to go around and collect missles and stuff. I like exploring and getting somewhat lost. There's a map. I'll figure it out. It's much better than Fusion in this regard though. Also, dumb gripe, but Samus is suffering a bit from upgrade bloat. There are points where it feels like you're picking up new abilities every 5-10 minutes. --- I don't believe in belts.
