/vr/ - Retro Games

Metroidshitnias is such a crappo pop culture term.

Either you call it:
>Search Action/Adventure (Metroid, Blaster Master, etc)
>Soulsvania (every jarpig sidescroller """"metroidvanias"""" since SotN)
>Snafulites (see Private Snafu - Censored [1944])
or in /vr/ terms
>Willyzumas (Jet Set Willy, etc)
and none of this autistic mess would matter anymore.

Fuck that pretentious shit
Post kino Search Action games.

No one actually likes this, right?

Can someone explain to me how the grenades work in this game? Their behavior seems so incredibly random. Sometimes they explode right in front of you, sometimes they fly halfway across the screen. Sometimes the explosion hit box makes sense and kills anything that overlaps the explosion, other times it seems like the hitbox is non existent or incredibly tiny, leading me to either hit enemies I thought for sure I missed, or miss enemies I thought for sure I hit. Sometimes it does enough damage to kill certain stronger enemies in two hits, but sometimes it takes three.

Am I missing something or is this a "feature"?

It's pretty linear, but Metroidvania in the sense that you get new items to unlock new areas. Bit of backtracking too. and as great as this title is, it got a remake which is just as good, if not better

Blaster Master.

What do you think of the kind of people who use save states and rewinds so they can say they've beaten a game?

>Game focused around a cool space tank that can be upgraded, shoot upward, jump and climb walls
>Tank is only used as a glorified transport from dungeon to dungeon, doing pointless busywork like shooting mooks that die in one hit
>Most of the bosses have to be fought on the insufferably boring on-foot sections
Yeah wow, good job.

ITT: Where the fuck do I go kinda games
