Zonbei 01/02/23 3:09:38 PM #47:	gasgpmo posted... And games like Metroid and Castlevania 2 came out ages before those games, so they didn't invent the genre either. SotN just gave it a name. Like how Resident Evil didn't actually invent survival horror, it was just popular enough to give it a name. I wouldnt call Castlevania 2 a metroidvania. Could make an argument for Metroid, but I think Super Metroid was the game which really introduced many of the hallmarks of the genre, followed by SOTN codifying it. --- It's a luscious mix of words and tricks, that let us bet, when we know we should have folded. <cite>Zonbei posted [p:970571357] in I hate art...

I'm sure if you actually stop and think about it you could find a bunch but some to get you started souls/geo from killing enemies that's lost on death unless you recover your corpse mostly lore-based storytelling areas mostly run-past-enemy filler on the way to large boss fights relatively high freedom in terms of where you can go --- THIS IS WHAT I HATE A BOUT EVREY WEBSITE!!
