Bravo!!! Amazing job Wayne! Thank you for letting me participate!
With the multi-lock missiles. They do a TON of damage, especially when you lock multiple onto the same enemy. For instance that fight with the two robot chozo soldiers at the same time, if you do a couple multi locks onto one of them, they die incredibly fast. I actually think they stop having you fight them at that point because the multi-lock missiles make them a joke.
Nah, there are a set amount of those encounters. Shit, I ran into them in _Burenia_ while trying to clean up the place!
The Chozo can control the larval stage of the Metroids, they were design to be controlled, is just that in SR388 the Metroid evolved for some reason, probably the Aeon, and then the new batch of Alphas, Betas and beyond could not be controlled by the Chozo.
Makes sense, only part that still doesn't track for me if that's the case though is how absorbing Quiet Robe allows Samus to control her own Metroid form. I mean...that's gotta be a step or two above larval form, right?
@@Wayneisboss Well, no Metroid stage other than larva is capable of absorbing energy... I think, pretty sure that´s a larva thing only, just like the ice weakness
@@Wayneisboss it might be because it’s a more direct control. Instead of the DNA being in a chozo like the metriods on SR-388 it’s directly inside of her.
@@Wayneisboss there is 2 optional answers why absorbing Quiet Robe x
1. the thoha DNA controls metroid larva so absorbing the x version of him sooths down the metroid part of her and counters the mawkin dna.(since x parasite replicates 1:1 it replicates the dna also).
2. Im pretty sure on a very early interview with Sakamoto, he said that when you absorbed the Sa-x in fusion it canceled out the metroid dna. (while this has been retconned as seen in dread. but the idea of dna canceling/balancing each other was kept.)which this point just supports the first one more.
@@raemmio2761 @Wayneisboss, to add onto this, when absorbing X with special abilities, Samus is able to gain special abilities - like the crossbmb in this game, so gaining an (increased) ability to control metroids via absorbing Quiet Robe was my interpretation. Though I think the question in my mind about Quiet Robe in the ending, is how much was of that action was based on Quiet Robe's personality, and how much was based on the X's... From what I remember, the X should have gained Quiet Robe's memories, knowledge, and philosophy... there would be something interesting if an X knowingly chose to save Samus via self sacrifice.
One little detail I've appreciated from these videos is that you pose your Figma Samus to match the game you're covering's cover art.
I'm pretty sure you're the first person to point that out and I'm so glad someone actually noticed
This is really quality! Nice seeing SomeCallMeJohnny in here!
I was totally sucked into this game from the outset. Couldn't put it down, couldn't dream of playing anything else. Having to put it down to play co-op games with my brothers on Saturday and Sunday evenings was just pure pain. I loved it start to finish, and I'm so happy I played it as heavily as I did and finished it quickly because I get to watch this amazing review! I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did. This game is so great. I'm already looking forward to playing it again.
I couldn't put this game down either. I've already completed three and a half playthroughs, and I'm about to start a 5th. Lol
The first one was regular. The second one was 100%. The third one is hard mode, and the fourth one is me trying to practice all the sequence breaks i've heard about so far.
This game was a blast. That last boss especially was an ass kicker
Was NOT expecting that cameo lol that was great!
I was really happy he agreed to help out. Super nice guy, it was a pleasure working with him!
Wow, absolutely best inciteful review!
This is definitely my GOTY, I have loved every aspect of this game!!
Thank you for sharing your passion for Metroid with all of us, you did an amazing job editing all this together!!!
It's been a great Metroid Month. Now go take a break. You've earned it. See you next mission!
I've been waiting for this! I honestly loved the game, cannot wait to see your review
We didn't let out the x parasites. The door locked behind us remember? When we got back SOMEONE had opened it.
That part where she sucked the last EMMI dry and then she looks down at her hand as her theme starts playing in the background is so dang chilling still. Like a massive shift just happened in the powers that be.
Loved this series you did - discovered you from the DYKG episode you did! I look forward to more stuff in the future!
Really appreciate it! Working on some new content now, probably some similar content for a bit but hoping it'll be just as enjoyable!
You spend the whole game being afraid of the creatures and machines that are hunting you but by the end the thing you're most afraid of is yourself.
Metroid dread is such an amazing game and I’m glad it was the second Metroid game I beat. Also that final boss destroyed my thumbs!! Lmao. Great video man and Metroid month is amazing.
I had trouble getting the hang of the chozo robot guys too. That red charging move is the pinnacle of camping incentive...
Finally finished Dread yesterday. I'm so happy I took a media blackout on anything Metroid Dread related after the initial announcement. This game absolutely blew me away. I can't believe that we not only got a game called "Dread", but that it absolutely slayed its delivery beyond anything I could have hoped for after nearly 20 years of silence on the series mainline story.
Couldn't wait to watch your video once it popped up.
14:02
Omg! Never thought about it :O
Didn't know that you could grapple beam it
15:00 storm missile obliterates bosses, I would say it’s pretty handy!
11:40 I found jumping up and flash stepping over the soldiers was a better approach to avoid that attack, rather than flash stepping backwards.
I fucking love the metroid suit
I haven’t played Dread yet, just dropping by to leave a like on the video. Have a happy Halloween everyone.
21:44
I love this. Hard to contain my laughter. It fits so well
Overall great quality video~ Nice editing, things snap onto place very nicely (like Spider Magnet --> Phantom Cloak transition)
Yeah I've watched a dozen reviews on the game already, but they spark joy and this was truly HQ
Also I May or may not just, grab that bit of reasoning on 'the longer/more plentiful the possession of the host, the goopier the body' bit to some writing worldbuilding about the X. It just makes sense. In Fusion too. The scientists, they're a big mushy pile of goop and the X will keep picking those mangled corpses up as their hosts no matter how many times you shoot them. You don't exactly see many critters be as decomposed as these few goopy ones, but that's enough for me to utilize to make stuff horrifying~
Nice use of music to punctuate and give depth to your points. It's a great touch that I don't usually see to this degree. :)
Oh my gosh. I am just going to say this. Dread is a phenomenal Metroid game in all the right ways. There's just so many things I adore about it all, and it's just.. aghhhhh! It's amazing! I enjoyed every moment I had spent playing it. Even managing to learn a few of the speedrun tricks used in the game as well, such as early screw attack, grapple beam and bombs.
Evil Scott the woz
Fantastic video. I'm not a big Metroid fan, but this review makes me want to get this game.
Happy Halloween Wayne! New sub here after watching your prime retrospective. I love Dread, really lived up to the hype imo
Really glad this game was as tough as it is. Fusion already had a great difficulty curve and Dread pumps it up to 11
Ahh your familiar with its always sunny in Philadelphia. I lol,d real hard at that bit. You’ve got a flair for reviewing games that you love 10/10
I believe the double jump was meant to replace the high jump ability from previous games. Although, as you stated, it becomes useless with the space jump.
13:17 fortunately, there are multiple ways to solve a lot of the puzzles in this game
YES!!! This is my favorite Metroid game mainly because they kept the free aim and melee attacks, and the ending.
Yay Dr.Pepper Cream Soda is back!
Quality content! New sub :)

Btw, this channel is undersubbed af. Subscribe, people!
Um sir, are you serious? The storm missiles are my favorite weapon in the game. Like the area where you fought 2 of those robots, it tears through them like they are nothing. The storm missiles are almost game breaking. :)
Absolutely perfect review. I don't think anyone else put it any better!
Top notch vid. Dread was worth every last bit of hype
DNA is kinda weird and magical in the Metroid universe.
Great work once again, Wayne!
I loved this game, it was my first ever experience of the franchise. I used your channel as a gateway into it to prepare myself lore wise for the history of the game and it made it that much more enjoyable. 😀
That being said, I have to say that I personally found Raven Beak's name stupid. Like funny stupid. I couldn't really take him seriously until we fought. As in, the Chozos are all like "Ayyy, we're bird people. We know what we're about. Let's lean into it." His name might as well have been "Pecker Face" and it would've made no difference by that logic. 🤣
great review
i felt the same about the storm missiles and the robot chozo soldiers my first playthrough but put them together and the fight becomes much less annoying.
I'll definitely have to try it out on another playthrough
@@Wayneisboss you can also use a shinespark on the one that kills quiet robe for a quick kill
@@Wayneisboss Storm Missiles kinda becomes the boss killer, really. Sure, you sacrifice some immediate damage to charge and acquire locks, but once it's done, your missiles will do their best to figure out how to get to their targets.
New Dread ending. Find and kill Quite Robe, or get less 75% items and samus drains the ship of energy and quietly accepts her fate as the planet explodes with her on it. True end.
Well! I guess I need to find a spare 60 bucks somewhere. lol
*THE HAND OF SUCCY SUCC!*
I really don’t understand how people don’t think this game trumps super Metroid.. I’m 36 and I’ve played super back in the day so I have that nostalgia factor too.. this game is a masterpiece imo
This game has skyrocketed my hype for prime 4, if it is anywhere near as good as dread then my god its gonna be fantastic
I already just beat the game on hard mode last night preparing for this review! Great stuff Wayne! I just people would see your stuff from this video alone apart from the Spider-Man stuff.
See you next mission... Any objections, Wayne?
This was great timing as I beat it last night. Wow. What an incredible game.
STORY SPOILERS AHEAD
I really appreciated your summary of the plot because, while I loved it, I didn't quite understand it fully and you brought some much needed clarification (for example that it was Raven Beak guiding us the whole time and not the real Adam).
Dread was so good that I just played this game 3 times in a row and beaten hard mode for the under 4 hour achievement. Everything from the movement to the sequence breaks are just great. The game felt pretty linear because the level design often has a point of no return but when you get items out of order, the entire game cracks open and then there are just small details like using shinepark to damage those robots or using moves you are not supposed to have yet like using the screwattack against that big bug boss.
It is interesting how you didn’t point out that there are hints that Adam isn’t Adam. Adam called you lady in fusion and on the elevator ride down in the first cutscene he calls you lady. After that you are called Samus since raven beak doesn’t know that Adam referred to Samus as lady.
I'd put this up there with Super Metroid and Metroid Prime as one of the very best games in the series.
Dude great video and perspective. I have some minor criticisms of Dread but they pale in comparison to just how stonking awesome the game really is. Very pleased with how this game turned out and hopefully the sales numbers will convince the Big N to do more with the franchise.
Metroid king
How did you get the Switch to work on that old ass TV? 😂
You sound like you followed your a Scott the Woz manual. You even have his mannerisms. I mean jeez
20:10 I could be wrong but it sounds like what she's speaking is Japanese If not then the languages created to be very similar to it
@16:50, well duh. You’re playing the switch on a crt
My guy you look like you need to eat like 2 lbs of beef daily for 5 years just to catch up.
