Why Is This Actually Terrifying? - A Look at Metroid Dread

[@Selenethederpyduck]

I started getting into Metroid around 6th grade when Dread released and I tried out the demo and loved it. My first Metroid game was actually Super when I was around 6-7 when I got an SNES classic. I got really scared after the Ridley section in Ceres and then didn't pick it up until after I became a fan after picking up Dread. Then, I got AM2R on my phone, Prime Remastered the summer after it released. And now I have Zero Mission and Fusion on an emulator and I just love the series. I really can't wait for the rest of the Prime Trilogy to get remastered and and Prime 4. Then of course, Metroid 6. Nice to see other new fans as well

@@Selenethederpyduck I’m happy you like Metroid just as much as I do! I never expected to love it this much, but here I am! I’d love to say I enjoy the series a normal amount but I can’t (I just got a Metroid Dread amiibo yesterday) I’m hoping the admiration I feel for the series right now sticks around for when Prime 4 comes out. Speaking of which, I still have to play the Prime trilogy! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! It means a lot to me :)

The most logical explaination for Quite-Robe-X being able to neutralize her powers is Because of the Thoha-DNA being capable of controlling Metroids. Though I wonder what the X has seen in the Mind of Quiet Robe when it entered his body. About the Suit Change, it is clear to say that her Power Suit in General is more than just Sheets of Metal, it is basically like Mother Brain from Biomechanical Origen, meaning the moment it connects to her body, the suit basically is a part of her body. It is more than just a suiz, it's like an Additional Layer of Skin. That's why the SA-X can even mimic her Varia Suit, That's why the Suit of her changed into the one of a Metroid, That's why the Absorbed X refill the Suit's Energy and Ammunition, That's why she got her new Fusion Suit in the moment she got the vaccine injected

@@Chris-gx1ei Over the last week I’ve been trying to understand more of the lore regarding Metroid, so none of this is surprising! I did know that Samus’s suit is more than just a suit, rather a part of her when she has it “on”, but I guess I was still seeing it as a suit that she’d have to sort of carry. I only ended up finishing Fusion AFTER Dread, so my knowledge was a bit limited during the recording of this video lol. I really appreciate you helping me understand more about the Quiet-Robe-X and the SA-X. Metroid has a lot going on in its lore but feedback is the perfect way for me to get a handle on it! Thanks for the insightful comment :)

I had fun playing with you! Hopefully next time we record gameplay our commentary actually records properly

[@catluvr.88]

Wish it would’ve worked…maybe next time! Thanks for playing with me :)

15:00 caught me off guard that was funny

[@dellosayshello5405]

A memorable moment I have on the boss and game in general being fair despite being hard for the boss Experiment no. z-57 I ended up getting stuck going on one of the phases thought it just had a lot of health but than I realized something was going on so search up turns out I was just not hitting the parts I had to hit to continue and it dawned on me I thought the game was being dumb no it was me the whole time I just wasn’t paying attention funny thing is when I was stuck on it I wasn’t really struggling with it I was just going and going that I master the phase so when I replayed the boss cause I killed myself cause I thought something went wrong instead of just pausing it I really wasn’t making the best decision in this game that phase was a cake walk

[@catluvr.88]

@@dellosayshello5405 Embarrassingly enough, a lot (all) of the bosses gave me a hard time! I would take stupid hits and I’d have to retry again and again just have to get the phases down. Def not the easiest game but it’s far from unfair :)

[@William5000000]

The only real negative thing about this game is that it acknowledges the existence of "Metroid: Other M". Other than that, it is a great game and a true return to form for the franchise.

[@catluvr.88]

@@William5000000 Haven’t played Other M yet I’ve heard plenty of bad things about it! Despite that, the fact that you see that as the only thing wrong with Dread only proves how good it is :)

[@Halucidnate]

​@catluvr.88 the gameplay, imo is awesome, tho. Very action packed

[@dellosayshello5405]

0:25 that’s a cool mom

[@catluvr.88]

She’s the best!

[@Danthonyt]

If you think Samus shows emotion in this game, you should play Other M. It is not as bad as everyone says, but it does have some problems.

[@catluvr.88]

@@Danthonyt I’ve seen reviews of Other M! I also don’t think it’s as bad as people say, but I can understand their gripes about how the game portrays Samus. More so, Dread shows anger, while Other M shows grief and fear. Thanks for watching! :)

[@wrangler212]

Yes, Samus is very strong. Even without the use of her power suite, she is superhuman. Check out the mangas to learn a lot more about who she is.

[@catluvr.88]

@@wrangler212 I’m making it my agenda to read the manga! Samus is pretty strong but I’ll probably get a better understanding of who she is if I read it. Thanks for commenting! :)

[@bodie5383]

its cool that Nintendo uncancelled this game and finally released it. also good video

[@catluvr.88]

@@bodie5383 I never knew they cancelled it! I always just thought it was stuck in development hell. Also I appreciate the positive feedback! :)

[@theakiwar9118]

@@catluvr.88yeah they canned it twice. Both times for DS

[@dellosayshello5405]

Last comment got admit get scared of a lot of things that prevented from doing things I wanted to do especially with games as there are game I want to play or sections in games I want to complete but I don’t cause of it that prevent from fully enjoying so when I bought this game it’s the closet thing to an actual horror game i beat as of a couple years ago it was in interesting purchase cause I wonder whether it was gonna be worth it since it might just be a game on my shelf that i play a bit but never get far when I get too scared but I actually played a decent bit of it first time of course played a bit around here and there cause parts I got too scared so put it off took a make a very long while to beat it though also cause of time had or wanted other things to do and I’m terrible at managing time but something kept coming making me want to come back the fun bosses wanting to see the story even if I was confused or just exploring the world so I pushed through like I was having my own character arc alongside Samus not that I felt like samus but like I was with samus like an unseen sidekick and it was a really cool journey since besides parts I got stuck on I pretty much played the game blind though that’s because I get scared even looking and watching at scary imagery in games sometimes more than just doing it myself but I’m glad I pushed cause the experience was worth it especially for a first time view even if I stupidly spoiled myself of the ending twist literally seconds before it happen cause I thought I was good on spoilers and watched a review to see how others thought of the game and how it clicked with them also cause of my desire at the time to dedicate most of my game time to my switch i ended up having a Metroid game beat first more than other Nintendo game series that are more likely to be played and beat than Metroid so I also have that quirky anecdote in my life

[@catluvr.88]

@@dellosayshello5405 I totally get it! Metroid was a series I wasn’t too sure about at first until I gave it a fair shot! There were times I was confused and frustrated, but the more I played, the more I valued the games. I’m happy you liked the game and even happier that my video was this thought-provoking for you! I appreciate it :)
