She's disrespectful as fuck in this game. 🤣 They got her character really well despite how little she speaks.

KoWacku being blackballed by the big companies would be amazing. Nintendo gotta get their lawyers to pull up on them like this:

It didn't even occur to me to try that. And since you can also get bombs early...

For those interested in Pulse Radar early, this is the room I was talking about last night. (Spoiler is just the map)

The final boss got Rugal's god press. It's not even a question anymore, Dread IS the best Metroid game. It ain't even close. Mercury Steam has my blessing, remake Super.

Check your cleared save Mission Log for clues. That's early affffffffff. 🤯

What did you do? 🤣 Now that people are finding ways to break the game, I think it's fair to say this is the best Metroid game so far. The only thing that's straight problematic is

Iirc, aiming pans the camera a bit too, or was that just in Samus Returns? Yellow E.M.M.I. is on some shit tho. The E.M.M.I. in general are probably the best stalker enemy I've seen. I was on that late-game power trip mode and walked in carelessly into an E.M.M.I. zone. That game over screen reminded me what was up real quick. 🤣

Got to the final boss. Almost 13h, 92% Item collection, no guide. Unlocked 4 of the sector completion illustrations. That's going pretty well I suppose. Besides the immediate beatdown I got by the final boss. Oh well, tomorrow's problems are for tomorrow's me.🤣

Bro this is kinda wild. (Mechanic Spoiler)

People already starting to crack this game open. Seen a vid showing how to get the Pulse Radar early, but the uploader just took it down. Is there any way to send Switch screenshots to PC quickly? Can I just plug that sucker in with a Type-C cable? I gotta get a new AV.

I figured that if these bosses were getting me stressed, journalists would be in shambles, but this is embarrassing. 🤣 I straight up wanted to take a break to chill and de-stress a bit because beating all these fuckers back-to-back was taking a toll on my mood, but this game is too good, I can't. 😭

Oh right, I just remembered. @HD-ManIirc, it was you that wanted to change the in-game controls. You can change them in the Switch's global controller settings, it's on the options menu. That changes your whole layout tho, but you can have up to 5 presets + Reset to default. Unfortunately, it's too late for me, the muscle memory is already set. Tried it before a boss and my brain got a whole blue screen. 🤣 I'd definitely consider changing the beam to a trigger button on the 2nd run tho. Being able to stay mobile with a charged shot is imperative in this game.

Keep following the path of least resistance and take a good look at the map. Got stuck for hours once because I forgot to go through a door and wound up running through the entire planet before figuring it out.

The map in general is the best I've ever seen in a Metroid game. So detailed, it's amazing. I was thinking, Iirc there are randomizers for Zero Mission. I gotta check if Fusion got some too. If it does, odds are that Dread might have them too. Since a lot of the roadblocks in this game are powerup-based, that'd be a neat twist.

Nah, it got some good stuff, the music in this game is just on the subtle side. The heated area in Artaria got a pretty good one for example. Ehhhhh, I'm really pissed at how long bosses take to kill in this game. I'm cool with the fights themselves, but lemme do some real damage.

I gotta be honest with y'all. I'm getting real tired of the bosses in this game.

Cursed. Cursed, I tell you.

Speed Booster puzzles are cursed as fuck. I legit despise that power-up. And it's not just on this game, SB puzzles are always like, "catch a charge in this room, drop to the lower level without hitting this mook, store the spark, freeze the mook, wall jump off it, and do a diagonal mid-air ballspark." I'm sorry, am I really supposed to do that with those tiny-ass joycons? Do I look like a Melee player? 🤣

Apparently, there *is* a way to change the control scheme but it's on the Switch menu or something? I'll check it later myself.

MAJOR SPOILERS Ayo, I don't see this game not getting any awards this year. This is a whole ass package. The story got me hooked like a crack addict now.

Found out the issue. I was so focused on killing some flying whale-looking thing that I forgot a whole ass door. I'm fuckin' STUPID. 🤣

Where tf is it!?

It's good enough, but when you gotta hold Charge and maneuver around in boss fights, it starts to get silly. In other news, I'm hella fucking lost. @Hawkingbirdhow far in are you now?
