FIRST TIME Obtaining the Gravity Suit in Metroid Dread is just PERFECT!!

[@azurebalmung4520]

That's one of the best moments in any Metroid Game. Just dragging through water for most of the game, then finally getting the Gravity Suit and going "I AM SPEED" through the rest.

[@joshuana5132]

"What, we have to go to the ship now?" *was the goal since dropping to the bottom of the entire location*

[@4orks976]

I think it's more like "what, we have to go the ship NOW?" As opposed to, you know, later.

[@randmperson2]

The difficulty scaling in this game is perfection. You've basically been to every area by the time you go to Elun, so releasing the X creates an in-story reason that scales the creatures appropriately to deal with your enhanced weapons. Dread is amazing.

[@Cobaltios]

As a fan of Fusion, them bringing back the 'X' mechanics was such a treat.

[@snsnsnsn2922]

Dee's reaction to the EMMI's reactivating says it all. The EMMI noises and chase music have joined the Breath of the Wild Guardian beeps and battle theme in the "Nintendo panic sounds" playlist. Good thing no one has ever played those sounds in real life to pull a prank on me.

[@mark04anthony]

Yet…. lol

[@mmmario8004]

SO TRUE

[@hellzonefirebrigade3056]

Ngl the emmi sound is my notification sound 😅

[@SweetRNightmare]

Those and You Will Know Our Names from Xenoblade Chronicles. Always a panic to look around fast to which boss saw us.

[@Erick7Greenday]

Flash Shift: Am I a joke to you?

[@ErimlRGG]

Yeah. I'm surprised on how well he manages without using it in the boss fights. It makes the Chozo Warriors much easier

[@ErimlRGG]

Also the second time you fight the Tentacle experiment his vomit where he leaves a gap are designed to be exactly the distance of the flash, you don't even have to jump or move

[@Erick7Greenday]

@@ErimlRGG You'd expect to have chat be spamming him to use the ability, I guess this is just him being stubborn. Or forgetful.

[@King_Luigi]

@@Erick7Greenday Chat _was_ doing that from time to time. But sometimes the mods would either remove those messages or just keep forcing chat into emote-only mode for a while. (Honestly, it can get quite frustrating simply _watching_ the chat during times like that.)

[@Erick7Greenday]

@@King_Luigi that kinda sucks. It's not spoiler, not forcing him to play, but he's struggling and taking more damage than he should as a result.

[@brinstarmedia1411]

Phase shift makes the boss fights, and getting around the map, much easier and faster

[@agustinriquelme4786]

Pretty sure he forgot about it's existence

[@eroraf8637]

So it’s not just me. Chat must’ve been losing their minds.

[@julian-w5h]

Kept thinking this too. I think it's kind of funny that he has his whole "gamer mode" joke but he's totally missing out on using some of the powerups. No hate though - I'm impressed he's done it without the power ups.

[@CFarrell77]

lol

[@sarabarker4449]

I was going to say this as well

[@Zerolink30]

At times i wonder how he constantly forgets he has certain abilities and how they are used. I play multiple games myself, but once I'm on the zone of that respective game it all comes back to me. But him forgetting makes him struggle a lot more which does bring me joy.

[@spastichobo]

Playing for an audience is way more work than playing solo. Plus he's only playing these games once a week. Easier to forget between sessions

[@erimgard3128]

@@spastichobo I've noticed a lot of people forget to use Flash Shift a few minutes after getting it, which is nuts to me because it's sooo useful. But yeah, when you only log on once a week, it's understandable. Dread uses damn near every button on the cotroller

[@Zerolink30]

@@spastichobo not sure that's an excuse, i haven't played Dread in months now but i bet if i get back on it, it will only take me 5-10 minutes to remember what each button does.

[@Arob4343]

@@erimgard3128 I agree, flash shift was a standout for me. That and storm missiles are my new favorite things

[@Arob4343]

He also doesn’t use slide much, also useful

[@kyleharlan100]

I can't believe he never uses the dash, it's so incredibly helpful in boss fights.

[@McBehrer]

he doesn't believe in making any effort to avoid damage

[@thehedobanshow744]

Dude, don't forget to use flash shift in the Emmi zone, it becomes the task way easier.

[@tomrees82]

Some people may think that Pulse Radar is hand-holdy, I just think it's a better option than using 75 missiles.

[@reagansido5823]

It's funny how you go from upgrading your beam and missiles to upgrading the enemies across the planet.

[@UNSCPILOT]

Before Elun: woohoo I can do so much damage! After Elun: *oh crap I'm back to square one*

[@seedofwonder]

I don’t have a PS5, but one of my best friends does. The haptic features are amazing. But I think the most compelling haptic feedback I will ever experience is using the morph ball and phantom cloak in an E.M.M.I. zone and the E.M.M.I. is not going to leave. I guess I have been way too distracted by the game, but when I was where Dee Bee Geek is at 33:42 in this upload I first noticed that the rumble on the Joy Cons mimics a heavy heartbeat.

[@TriforceZard]

I like how they made the X parasites Venom this time around. It’s so cool.

[@MadGear1986]

I have been watching all your other Metroid videos and love them just as much as your Zelda videos. Metroid wasn't a series I grew up with, but I am loving the games. Prime 2 was my first Metroid game. I hope you will play the Prime games as well. Keep up the great work.

[@snsnsnsn2922]

As soon as I saw the X I knew this planet wasn't gonna make it in one piece by the end of the game.

[@solarsailor1534]

As vicious as they were I kind of liked the wildlife on the planet. I’d often avoid attacking more peaceful enemies like the giant squid whales. As soon as the X escaped from containment I went “…well shit. Now everything is going to die isn’t it?”

[@speedude0164]

When they talked about the X in the trailers I figured it was either that or you'd help Quiet Robe recreate the Metroids to kill them, at which point you probably end up having to blow the planet up anyway.

[@marksman0208]

I'm sure Deebeegeek didn't read that he can Flash Shift three times in a row, on any situation and any direction 👀

[@DaNintendude]

When I first played I thought you could only use it once, and then I watched another playthrough and saw the "3 times" in the description and I was so upset that I didn't know that sooner. Almost at the end of my hard mode playthrough and it's been so dang useful.

[@thehedobanshow744]

Facepalm moment: he forgets to use the flash shift in the most necessary moments like walking throught Emmi zones or fighting bosses. 49:12 he uses it when is not necessary. DUDE COME ON! 🤣🤣🤣.

[@dogfather2007]

This is such a sick game. Played it religiously over the holidays

[@bradencosier80]

What I enjoy most about Metriod Dread is that it just keeps accelerating, pumping more and more powerups into you as you approach the end

[@darthdistortion1934]

46:55 His expression is the true metroid item hunting experience

[@borromorro]

Im surprised he doesn't use flash shift...I used it like my life depended on it

[@zepptonian]

My life DID depend on it. Often. It made the Chozo fights soooo much easier.

[@borromorro]

@@zepptonian i guess its not the dee bee way

[@7Seraphem7]

I love how many people get trolled by that sensor door. It's been so long since one of those was a thing and you got that power up that everyone forgets how to deal with them. Also, impressive how good DeeBee is doing on the bosses without using Flash Shift.

[@DragonHeart53]

I do like the fact that, even though the pulse radar is in the game and just shows all the hidden breakable blocks, It's obtained so late in the game, that it's treated as a completionist aid, rather than being a hand holding crutch. Cause getting to the point where you acquire it, already assumes that you know your way around the environment, and there for wouldn't really need it just to progress in the game. It is how ever very useful for any remaining power up searching, as constant backtrack through the game gets very frustrating if there's only a few very specific blocks left that are hidden and you hadn't happened on yet. similar to the map screen having sections of the map flash white if there's a hidden power up that you got near, but didn't find yet. It's a hint system for completing the game, since you'd already had to show you can competently play it just to get to that point of the game.

[@darknova0476]

He keeps forgetting he has dash and it makes all the fights harder for him... interesting to watch. Especially the panicking.

[@KooriGraywolf]

To be fair ir also took me a while to maintain the dash in mind after I learned it

[@Drimaspac]

I recommend using the flash shift during combat more. It really helped me avoid attacks far more often then I would have been able to otherwise.

[@stubbzzz]

I’m loving this. Don’t forget you can slide, and also flash shift up to 3 times in a row. You’ll need it for boss battles

[@razorcloud1]

That is entirely too much info for his half a braincell to use

[@Jus-X]

Always fun watching you freak out Dee Bee. Also, the scanner thing that you said holds your hands, for those who choose to 100% the game, I feel as though it's necessary, because there are so many upgrades that are hidden that you will never find unless it's sheer accident.

[@thelordstarfish]

Yeah, it's entirely for finding optional missile- and energy upgrades. And considering how many of those require elaborate Shinespark maneuvers anyway, it's not like the Pulse Radar instantly makes getting them *easy.*

[@Jus-X]

@@thelordstarfish right? I'm struggling with the crazy shinespark crap it's having me do, all just so I can say I 100% the game 😂

[@davidalvarado9957]

At 27:41 you had me rolling for some reason. I laughed hard on that. Thank you for that.

[@angelvillegas9604]

His not using his dash at all XD

I came to comment exactly that. It's 50% useful for boss or mini boss battles.

[@zachwaddell7771]

Flash Shift makes the Chozo Warriors fights alot easier.

[@meta9492]

I originally missed most of this stream so its fun to watch this again, also the gravity suit in Dread is almost the peak drip in Metroid, save for the final suit in prime 2.

[@demsterclippy4252]

its been a blast watching so far. one of the most fun playthroughs of dread if you ask me

[@josephallen2672]

I felt like acquiring the space jump so soon after the spin jump cheapened the usefulness of the spin jump.

I still can't believe my first 100% run took 10 hours and 36 minutes

You should use flash shift (A + left or right) during battles :D It would make things WAY EASIER to avoid attacks and go in the back of an ennemy.

[@evanscolton8281]

Deebee playing on hard mode by refusing to phase shift and slide. The Deebee way!

Halfway through, I hope to god he remembers that he has flash shift

[@ovyto6267]

Everytime he realizes how not complicated it is when he achieves some things; that look is priceless👍🏾😂

[@DaNintendude]

Little sad to see Dee Bee not using the Flash Shift very much this episode. I went a long time without realizing how useful it is so I can't blame him, and I'm also nearly done with my 2nd playthrough so I've had much more time to work with it, so I'm not too bummed. Another thing is that there were a lot of moments where he kept spamming missiles against enemies instead of countering them. There are a lot of enemies that take a ton of missiles to kill, but attack exclusively in counters that will destroy them immediately. But even with these gripes, it's just so cool to see him experience all of this for the first time. And I'm sure I did plenty of these same things on my first run as well, haha.

[@helkinmanyoma6704]

DBG you can use the shift to fight...

[@QwixLF]

Every game, the Gravity suit is one massive "BET."

[@tristanjohnson8627]

Yeah the pulse radar is nice but also not nice to have at the same time. I thought the game was quite good but they still haven't made much improvements to the 2d games imo such as with collectibles. That's the 1 thing I hope they do better even for mp4. Also having emmis as a sorta themed section to the game was cool but I didn't like them much (too trolly even when you play smart), not helped by the brains being repetitive and easy. The map design was diverse tho and it looked amazing, and the combat was more interesting, a decent step up from before. It's hard to strike a good balance with this type of game though tbf, it seemed both easy and hard at the same time 😅

[@TainoMoya]

Are you doing some kind of challenge where you're not using flash shift or whatever it's called?

[@thelordstarfish]

Escue the super frantic electric bug boss almost made me drop the game permanently. But I eventually built up the resolve to come back and finally beat it a whole month later. Then on my second run through the game I opted to cheese it by preparing a Shinespark before it showed up and instantly cut its HP by like 75%. (This still took a decent number of tries to do.)
