That story is officially over? They are saying? Its completely done? That might actually be a good thing. I mean, why not have Samus Aran just go off somewhere else and find another bad guy, or a growing race of bad creatures? They should actually do something similar to the "Chronicles of Riddick" story, and just have the game universe introduce an evil group of people who are taking over planets, and have taken over the Galactic Federation government, and Samus is on her own kicking ass and fighting back. Or just do another one-off story in which Samus crash lands on a planet, and there's another unique race of creatures that threaten the planet. Make the team at Retro do this in first-person.

Tears of the Cows 1,206 Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 A bit more of bosses: It’s not bad on the Switch in handheld mode, but Dread only really shines with the Pro Controller. If I had to beat a boss – and these are some of the toughest bosses in Metroid history – I docked every time. Those boss fights range from the traditional big, drooling monsters with patterns and weak points to learn, to almost Smash Bros.-esque encounters with enemies that mimic your move set. The variation is welcome, especially in contrast to the way Samus Returns pitted you against the same boss bugs many times over. I don’t want to give anything away, but these are some of the best boss fights I’ve ever played in an action platformer: Without exception,they seemed impossible at first, but post-victory, I felt like they’d made me a better player.

Nobody begged for this game, if anything the game was bagged on for looking like it's for the 3DS. Also I didn't steal anything, using intellectual property without permission is not theft.

54212 432 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Framerate on the PC aside (I have no clue), the problem the PC crowd runs up against is that it's unethical to steal new releases from good companies. If you want to play it on the PC without being a dirtbag, you'd have to buy a Switch copy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
