The queen of Metroidvania has returned. All hail the queen

Queen ki...

From the IGN review:

The universally recognizable mix of tough puzzles, tougher boss fights, ever-evolving exploration options, and intricate level design that recent games like Hollow Knight and Ori get so right has an origin point: It’s Metroid. I love those games, but the Metroid team, a mix of old and new developers now, have shown that they know how to do it best.

Ouch! That's gotta hurt the feelings of fans of these budget games

The queen of Metroidvania has returned. All hail the queen

From teh Metacritic

 

[CerebralTiger]

Selective choice of metascores for late ports only serves to highlight the desperation at hand

IGN: I love those games, but...queen queen hoti hai

Best accept the queen's return and bend the knee

 

[Necrokiller]

Ignores metascores because MEHtroid fell flat, to find selective sentences in reviews, and talks about desperation

 

[CerebralTiger]

Metascore comparisons make sense between games that fall within the same price range. In this case, a fair comparison would be:

 

[Necrokiller]

But then the scores don't apply to everyone because games also have regional pricing so yet again your new rule fails here

So apparently, comparing two 2D games in the same genre doesn't make sense (because price lol), but comparing a 2D metroidvania to an open world RPG totally makes sense. CerebralTiger trying so hard to save his queen's face

 

[CerebralTiger]

I mean, comparing a rogue-lite with an open world "RPG" made sense for someone not too long ago

 

[Necrokiller]

Oh, I was just there to witness that someone get embarrassed

A higher score than the most anticipated game of 2020. Looking forward to playing it

Post was made a month before the IGN Portugal review was added for Cyberpunk

Still higher in ranking, though

The actual comparison I made was within the same genre i.e. Hades

Hades and Ori showing Housemarque and MS/Nintendo how its done.

 

[CerebralTiger]

comparing a 2D metroidvania

That moment when you realize that the genre you just name dropped is literally the name of the game. Dread it, run from it, destiny still arrives

No amount of genre name dropping is going to help the queen take the throne from King Ori

Metroid Dread Review

Another reason to own a Switch.

oh yeah

 

[Necrokiller]

Oh noes, CerebralTiger's dreadful streaming stutters here as well

 

[Necrokiller]

@iampasha No online mode in this game that CerebralTiger can pretend is an essential part of the game for his LAN parties

 

[CerebralTiger]

Yikes @ those regular frame time dips when running via Ryujinx

It's a mostly a perfect straight line on the Switch

Also, imagine thinking I'd need to pretend about online being an essential part of Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Splatoon, and Animal Crossing

 

[Necrokiller]

"Mostly" LMAO, wonder tool CerebralTiger is using while people on his favorite forum are complaining about frequent performance issues on the Switch version.

Also, imagine thinking I'd need to pretend about online being an essential part of Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Splatoon, and Animal Crossing

CerebralTiger forgot about this mode himself. Pretend rep


Meanwhile emulated version can run at 4K 120fps. Imagine playing the Switch version on a 4K TV

DF ki video mein jo tool hai, wohi deikh lou lol. It's a straight frame time line for the most part. Hoping VG Tech also covers this
