Vic Boss 612 Posted October 8, 2021 A few hours into Metroid Dread. Game's great, only complaint I have is that it's a bit cutscene heavy early on and takes longer to get going than the others do. ISO Share this post Link to post
MT 913 Posted October 10, 2021 Badass Samus moment in Metroid Dread https://streamable.com/nsvjxa The way she just sidesteps Kraid's parting shot... *chef kiss* ISO Share this post Link to post
MT 913 Posted October 11, 2021 I don't know about any one else, but the E.M.M.I sections are absolutely ruining this game for me. I can't get the counter timing right to save my life, and they find me in the tiniest corners. They make me want to break my Switch in half ISO Share this post Link to post
Vic Boss 612 Posted October 11, 2021 If there was a tick more leeway in EMMI countering it'd be a lot better. ISO Share this post Link to post
MT 913 Posted October 11, 2021 I learned this last night, apparently you're supposed to counter them BEFORE the flash, as opposed to every other enemy in the game. I just wish the game mentioned that at some point. ISO Share this post Link to post
Vic Boss 612 Posted October 11, 2021 You can get'em at the flash sometimes. I maybe counter about 2 out of everyone 10 potential EMMI deaths. Mid-game plot spoilers (happens during a plot info-dump) If you make Samus speak in a game, that's how you do it. ISO Share this post Link to post
MT 913 Posted October 11, 2021 I can count the number of times I've successfully countered them on one hand. I'm a good way through the game too ISO Share this post Link to post
MT 913 Posted October 21, 2021 Some of the shinespark stuff they want you to do in this game is ridiculous. There's this one area in upper Ferenia, right by the transport to Ghavoran (for a Missle+ pack) that, I know how to do it, I just have no fucking clue if i'll be able to.

MT 913 Posted October 21, 2021 Found an easier way to do it thanks to the Gamefaqs board. ISO Share this post Link to post
Revolver 27 Posted October 23, 2021 I finished the game a couple of nights ago. Overall I absolutely loved it. So glad that we are getting consistent 2d Metroid games and I hope this continues. I was really annoyed by the slide and taking so long to get the morph ball at first, but after you start fleeing the EMMI and you start sliding and jumping around so fluidly it made a lot of sense.

MT 913 Posted October 23, 2021 Started a Hard Mode playthrough yesterday, just got the Morph Ball. I'll probably end up playing as much of this in hard mode as I did the other games, get a few bosses in and just give up. ISO Share this post Link to post
MT 913 Posted October 25, 2021 Figuring out where the hell to go to get the Grapple beam early took way longer than the actual sequence break itself, but I did it. ISO Share this post Link to post
Psycho666Soldier 279 Posted October 25, 2021 Finally bought this a few days ago. I'm absolutely in love. Everything I could ask for in a modern Metroid game. E.M.M.I. sections start getting annoying by the 5th one, but the checkpoints are forgiving enough that I'm cool with the challenge. ISO Share this post Link to post
Vic Boss 612 Posted October 25, 2021 EMMI sections are a lot better once you realize that they're pretty much built for you to never stop moving. You're still gonna get fucked up by one every once in awhile but they mostly mean for you to slide, jump and grapple around everything to avoid them ISO Share this post Link to post
Vic Boss 612 Posted February 10, 2022 Got to the first boss in Dread Mode. Gonna ask my sister for her best recommendation on OLED grips, this shit's serious ISO Share this post Link to post
