It's especially funny as if I'm right in guessing who runs it, the guy's a massive transphobe which shouldn't surprise me because the guy running a similar Banjo account is a massive *ing * and a talentless hack who traces everything he makes yet even when he was hired by SourceGaming he was very proud of that fact

What's with Scrimblo charactets attracting garbage people?

What's with Scrimblo charactets attracting garbage people?

A refusal to grow up maybe? Would explain the idolization of anything from that era and disdain to everything that isn't 20 years old

Ehhh it’s a decent line of work.

Not the most prestigious, but it pays the bills. Someone’s gotta do it.

I am a 90s kid, and I am nothing like that.

Still, the 90s was a great, cool era.

You guys think we're going to get reviews of the game one week before Dread or much sooner?

'cuz beside the next Dread Report & unless another Nintendo Direct happen, feel at this point the game should be golden for reviewers to get in advance. (though next week could be too soon & idk much how that kind of stuff work, so please no bite if i'm wrong)

I mean, embargoes are usually done close to release for a reason, to get the reviews out right when the game's about to come out so people can see the publicity and go "Ooh, might get that then".

 

[Lamperouge]

I don't know. I just don't see you as the quiet as Komi type.

You'd be surprised.

Yeah, that make alot of sense honestly.

I just really want early reviews to come out to smash or confirm any fears remaining I might have for Dread.

Bruh how the **** can you see everything this game has shown off and go "uh oh it might be bad" lmao

I know that's a joke but I seriously approach people who think literally everything was better in the 90s with suspicion.

They're usually just blinded by nostalgia but there's a good chance they're also from the "I hate how modern-day invented minorities" crowd.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

You'd be surprised.

Eh.

At least I'm optimistic on a part of it. Still think you could talk to the right person for hours and hours and have a laugh.

 

[Noipoi]

No Pinball section.

Hey now, like I said; I was a 90s kid. Still, I don't think that.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Where did I say I think it might be bad lol.

Just got some high expectations due to replaying SR & AM2R & looking up again the other games & rewatching all the trailers again & again.

If Dread can meet them or even surpass them, great! But until then, I prefer being careful with my hype level, just in cases one or two thing about Dread aren't as cool as I thought it be.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

No Pinball section.

Ah but that's where you're wrong, you become the ball

Nah fam the beauty of Metroid is that it typically does something different for installments and Dread looks like it's getting the best part of everything together

 

[Noipoi]

Then they’re not talking about you.

 

[CannonStreak]

Then they’re not talking about you.

Yeah, I know. Just had to make it clear.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Penny's Theme from WarioWare: Get It Together! is a great song but I swear it sounds like it came from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

 

[Lamperouge]

Yeah, I know. Just had to make it clear.

You made it clear the first time.

Doesn't change osby's point, though.

 

[Metal Shop X]

That's the key word here, it look great atm, but anything the game hasn't show could be even better or not as good as we been shown.

Don't get me wrong, I agree 99% with you here, and even I think me being worried for anything about this game is quite silly, but I prefer to have one remaining percent being skeptical in some parts, if only so Dread can SMASH IT INTO PIECES when it's out.

 

[Noipoi]

No wonder M MooMew64 likes it

 

[Schnee117]

The only point of contention I can see with Dread based on what we know of is the EMMI sections and them being insta kills.

 

[TheMightyP]

I mean, as a minority born in 2002, I can't say they're wrong/s

 

[Metal Shop X]

The only point of contention I can see with Dread based on what we know of is the EMMI sections and them being insta kills.

The counter being able to stop instant kill soften the blow I feel, if only by a bit.

My real fear for them is just not living up to the hype & not being as scary as the SA-X.

NGL, song could dead up be a CMC song.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Yeah, I know. Just had to make it clear.

You don't have to. Hell, if I'm gonna be honest, I get very antsy about anyone saying that for more serious stuff because I'm of the opinion that if you don't feel addressed, then it doesn't apply to you

 

[osby]

How punishing deaths are from what we know?

If they don't have a too serious result, I can see instant-kills being balanced/non-frustrating.

If they wanted to be scary they should’ve picked a different name than my four year old little cousin.

EMMI’s a kindergarten name.

You reset to before the EMMI section.

Kinda like when you die to a Metroid in SR, you reset to the room before it.

 

[Lamperouge]

Eh.

Hours and hours might be seriously pushing it for me given how blunt I tend to be, but I appreciate the sentiment.

 

[Metal Shop X]

SA-X ain't that scary either, especially with all the easy joke one could make.

Still managed to be a scary foe despite a poor AI so i'm not too worried on that front.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

If they don't have a too serious result, I can see instant-kills being balanced/non-frustrating.

It's been confirmed that entering an EMMI zone is a checkpoint, meaning if you die to an EMMI you don't have to reload the save and maybe grab a power up you found on the way after every death

Ehhhh. I love the SAX conceptually. In practise, it's stupid as **** and only appears in scripted sequences whereas EMMI will hunt you down with terrifying levels of competence, where the SAX would run in circles, EMMI just finds new entrances to get to you. It's easy to see why Sakamoto cited technical limitations for Dread'z development back then

 

[Noipoi]

[Schnee117]

It depends on save room placements relative to the sections/the presence of checkpoints as well as the length of the sections imo
So long as the save rooms are close by and the sections aren't too terribly long they should be fine but I'm also generally against insta-kill stuff that you can't do much about until you reach a certain segment (if at all) because they typically feel cheap.

SA-X is scary story wise, not so much gameplay wise I say.

The EMMI is looking to be the opposite, at least for me: not too scary story wise (since you can kill them for good), but on a first try, oh boy, gotta prepare those speedrun reflex on the latter one.

 

[osby]

Yeah.

SAX

This is how Epona looks like when you scan the Link amiibo in Bayonetta 3.

 

[CannonStreak]

You made it clear the first time.

Doesn't change osby's point, though.

I was not trying to change his point, actually.

You don't have to. Hell, if I'm gonna be honest, I get very antsy about anyone saying that for more serious stuff because I'm of the opinion that if you don't feel addressed, then it doesn't apply to you

Sorry. Geez, I just wanted to be known as an exception, since one of the others was talking about 90s kids in general. All of them? Maybe not, but still. I wasn't sure if my case was clear yet.

 

[Noipoi]

This is how Epona graphics will look in 2013

At the same time though, it's able to give you a sense of hope as you can and have taken them down, but also a sense of dread knowing there's more of these to come who have tricks that make it so hiding won't be as effective.
