Nintendo Direct - E3 2021
re: Nintendo Direct - E3 2021
Metroid Fusion was one of my first gaming experiences and holds a special place in my heart for that. And while I was hoping for years for a new entry, I don't feel too thrilled about Dread. I think it's just the basic 3D style, which looks eerily similar to Samus Returns on the 3DS. Would've a new pixel-style entry been really that unpopular?
Fun fact: It was already hinted 14 years ago in a terminal log in Metroid Prime 3: "Experiment status report update: Metroid project "Dread" is nearing the final stages of completion."
Also, some recent info: "The general concept of Dread, in which Samus was chased by an overwhelming enemy that she could not defeat, had not changed over the 15 years. While the game places an emphasis on "fear-based gameplay", it is not intended to make Dread a horror game and the E.M.M.I. will not be present everywhere. The story will be important to Dread, but not intrusive, making use of occasional cutscenes similar to Samus Returns."

Same here... Metroid fusion was such an amazing game, and the only metroid game I've finished so far.
I'm looking forward to this one soooo much.

@okabe_rintarou @LukeAlmighty dread looks super dope and almost makes me want to spend money on a switch
@Locksmith @LukeAlmighty @okabe_rintarou The Switch is great. I definitely have high hopes for Dread, partly because I really loved Samus Returns on the 3DS, and the guys behind that are making this game too.
@ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty @okabe_rintarou its still money I can’t justify spending which is why I say almost.
@Locksmith @LukeAlmighty @okabe_rintarou I mean, it's way more worth it than the other home consoles

I bought Xbox... For almost free, so I can give it to mom as a DVD player.
@LukeAlmighty @Locksmith @okabe_rintarou The important thing is not giving money to Sony.
@ChristiJunior @Locksmith @okabe_rintarou
You meant Microsoft right?
Right?
@ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty @Locksmith @okabe_rintarou I think Sony's always been worse as far as multimedia and games are concerned. Incompatibility and double-dipping have always been their M.O. since the 1990s, and in their avarice, wielded digital restrictions management so poorly that they popularized the rootkit malware class on Windows. Whenever given the opportunity, expect Sony to break your shit and make you pay for the "privilege" of getting it back in some contorted form.
@ChristiJunior @Locksmith @LukeAlmighty @okabe_rintarou Though I'll definitely say that Microsoft has been letting its mask slip since the Xbox One. Like I've said in poasts before, I bought one at launch and never found any game that really defined the "start" of the eighth generation to me. Maybe it didn't help that I was heavy on Halo and that 343 has spent the last decade sodomizing it, but it's definitely convinced me that there is a fundamental problem with vidya at large now, and I lack the power and means to fix it.
I can't say I regret it, though, because it helped me learn the hard way to be wary of consumerism, and eventually led me to the idea of software freedom, including vidya.

@ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty @okabe_rintarou lol. Whatcha got against sony? I’m all for giving less money on general.
@Locksmith @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty @okabe_rintarou Christi has a lot against Sony and I can’t blame him.
@Locksmith @LukeAlmighty @okabe_rintarou Sony is a pro-censorship, pro-SJW, anti-anime titties company that even censored our Shitposter instance over The Last of Us 2 memes.
@ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty @okabe_rintarou wait, what? Sony sent dmca requests to fedi people??? Sony is aware of the fedi and cares enough to dmca???
@Locksmith @LukeAlmighty @okabe_rintarou Apparently. They were waging a ridiculously broad and aggressive internet censorship campaign to prevent people from learning about how shit The Last of Us 2 was prior to it releasing.
Sony is shit.
Sony is shit.
@ChristiJunior @Locksmith @LukeAlmighty @okabe_rintarou SPC got DMCAed for posting a shop of Abby as Senator Armstrong. They stopped, which is why @neilbot can exist.
