Current Events > I have one E.M.M.I. remaining in Metroid Dread.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Currently romping around in Hanubia. I think it would be cool to have one long-ass terrifying EMMI zone at the end. We'll see how it goes.

Well you see... About that...

I'm on the blue EMMI. He keeps kicking my dick in.

I actually saved a video of me finishing that one off. Obviously don't watch if you don't want the shape of that room to be spoiled or something.

They did a great job of making the EMMIs unsettling and all around creepy. Just the way they move is kinda off. And the whistling/chirping noises are uncomfortable.

I'm glad they didn't do that. The EMMI were my least favorite thing about the game. They just got annoying since you had to deal with them so much. I will say they did do a good job designing them and their stages, though.

I don't know if I should feel happy or sad for you.

It was nice though. I liked it.

---

I made I to what I assume is the final boss. Kinda fun. Why do I feel like I'm playing Smash? Lol

Alright buddy, you got this. Kick his ass, he's the only thing standing between you and hard mode!

We believe in you. Except that guy over there, but nobody likes him so who cares. Woo! You got this!

---

As annoying as the EMMI were, I found it kind of cheap that you really only evade/fight 5 of them when all the advertising around them was focused on there being 7.

How many fucking times must I hit this guy during his 2nd phase? I've made it that far three times and no amount of missiles will seem to drop him.

If it's him turning gold, you need to counter to move the fight along. Either during his red dash, morph balling under his big horizontal wave, or when he does his "come at me bro" thing

If it's him in his winged form, yeah he just takes a ton of shots. Storm Missiles are great for that phase.

---

Keep dealing damage and dodging. You've got this!

He said second phase

And some people take that as the second phase. I disagree with it myself, but I'm trying to account for whichever part he considers the second phase.

---

I'm talking about the phase when he's in the air and he changes his attacks.

What the fuck why was that not his final phase?

Conflict posted...

It's a marathon

But really all it is is a test of adaptation. The worst part of the entire boss fight is the sun attack

You can destroy the sun with a power bomb.

Have you all seen the emmi concept art? It's awesome and makes me wish each emmi was unique.

I just beat the final boss too. His second phase was definitely annoying, invincibility armor should not be a thing. And the RNG on when he baits a counter is garb. In the attempt I actually beat him I was in that phase for about 30 seconds, but the attempt right before I swear I was dodging for like 5 mins before he taunted.

Pretty short game tho, and only 3 real bosses. Not much there for $60 but fun enough while it lasted

The game is not that short, and there's a whole bunch of minibosses with the chozo soldiers, central units/e.m.m.i, etc

Also, there's four large bosses. Corpius, Kraid, Z. 57 and Drogyga

the EMMIs were a good idea but the gimmick got old fast. they're really close to being something, but as they are, they're not interesting.

Newbies, myself included, are clearing it in 8 hours, and that's with all the padded length of having to bomb every square to make sure you aren't losing anything lol.

What are the bosses? I can only remember Kraid, tentacle monster in the lava zone, and Raven Beak. EMMIs and chozo warriors absolutely do not count lol
---

If you're going by the in-game playtime, you absolutely didn't beat the game in 8 hours. The game doesn't count lost time to deaths or time spent looking at the map

Corpius was the first boss and Drogyga was the one you fight in Burenia

The dude before the final boss gave me a lot more trouble than Raven Beak.

---

The game is made for multiple playthroughs and speed running. Most people are getting a lot more than 8 hours out of it lmao

It's not made for either

The reality is that the game just isn't nearly as short as many people think it is, and you're not beating it in less than ten hours playing it normally without using a guide

why are you so upset about people having different playthrough times

That's a really strange interpretation of "the game is not that short"

Ok, I guess the game is lying about my clear time then lol

...Yes? I just said that.

Compare your in-game clear time to your playtime on your Switch profile. If you die, all the time spent beyond the last checkpoint is lost.

I died like 10 times, all to bosses or EMMIs. It's not that much additional time.

Somehow I don't believe you died less than ten times to E.M.M.I.s

They're not that hard to avoid, and there's literally two QTEs to let you escape if they catch you. You shouldn't be dying to them at all really.
---

The two QTEs that don't always work because they're RNG?

On top of that the later EMMIs get much faster, and much harder to avoid (especially in water without the Gravity Suit)

Idk you just sound edgy lol. Game isn't super hard but if the EMMIs were that easy nobody would be talking about their difficulty

I'm not the one denying other people's clear times and insisting the game is long lol.

Never said it was long

You're taking this significantly more seriously than I am. This is silly banter
---

Lmao people still taking @mcpwnia seriously

I don't think it's RNG. You just have to counter when the light flashes. I've had consecutive successes before. There's a video I saw on YouTube of a guy just repeat stunning them.

RNG means it won't always work even if you time it exact. It's just weirdly coded that way to emphasize Samus's weaknesses towards them I guess. I've had consecutive successes too

You have to respond extremely quickly and you only get one button press and that's it. I can tell that I respond to slow when it happens and I get the poke.

I mean, I beat it in 15, but a LOT of that can be shaved off since I would leave it on while doing something else.

Now this is just false.

lmao what? Metroid has always been designed with speedrunning in mind. This game in particular even has unlockables locked behind speedrunning
