La-mulana > Super Metroid > Symphony of the Night.
Aria of Sorrow and all the handheld castlevania's would have surpassed SotN had they not been released on handhelds.
The majority of indie metroidvanias are repetitive, uncreative, and easy to make and lack a satisfying sense of progression.
Metroidvania as a genre is more useful of a term than Metroidvania as a description for a type of castlevania game.La-mulana 2 will be shit.
>spoiler
Why?
>>336285018
Because the only reason La-mulana remake was a masterpiece was because it just took a shitty game, fixed it, and polished it for 5 years.
>>336284709
La-mulana is bad. There are many other great games in the genre. But I somewhat agree, many of the indie games are underwhelming to say the least.
>>336285174
>La-mulana is bad
Git gud
>>336285087
Surely they can remake the magic
I hope
>>336285361
I'm already good, anon. It's the game that's bad.
>>336285618
If the game was so bad then why does it have tight controls, fantastic core mechanics, fantastic art, fantastic music, fantastic direction, and is the most non-linear metroidvania ever made?
>>336285087
>the original la-mulana was shitty
Nah its pretty good anyway. I mean you're half right, they had 5 years to polish the remake, but the base game is still pretty damn fun.
>>336285794
It has none of these, La-mulana was just a poorly made game that could have been cobbled together by anyone.
>>336284709
Super Metroid > Everything else
Oh shit, I can finally die without actively killing myself.
>>336285794
oops, you've fallen into the trap of taking bait!
tee-hee!
>>336284709
I mean I really like Super Metroid, so I may be biased towards that
SM>La-mulana>SotN

>Input lag
>One save spot the entire game.
>Having to open up the rom menu whenever you want to do anything like it's the water temple, except it's the entire game.
>Jumping controls that I swear to god every time someone shits on the remake's I think they accidentally played the originals
>literally unsolvable puzzles
Nah. It was shit.
>>336285953
If that was the case, then why is La-mulana one of the only games of it's kind? You don't get as many exploration choices as you do in La-mulana.
Metroid is good game (:
>>336286365
Yeah. Zero Mission is better, though.
>>336286172
You opinion is noted, but the original remains enjoyable. Yes, the remake added quality of life but the baseline is still quite good. Enough of your hyperbole.
>implying Napstablook is powerful enough to curse anyone
>>336286446
He was powerful enough to reject instrumentality.
I hope Bloodstained is good.
>>336286431
ZM is better only until you beat mother, then it gets a lot worse. Super is more consistently enjoyable.
>>336286567
>implying Napstablook is malevolent enough to curse anyone
>>336284709
If I'm not dead tomorrow I'm going to be extremely upset.
>>336286808
People who are depressed are inherently malevolent as they're susceptible to malevolent ideas.
If only Super Metroid was actually good to begin with
>>336284709
Nice try fag, I've seen immunity cat
>>336287083
He's only depressed over his cousins leaving
>>336284709
>spoilerI desperately hope this to not be the case.
Is Super Metroid as good as people make it out to be? The game felt slow when I played it so I never bothered investing more time into it.
How is it compared to SOTN for example, level design wise?
Sry ghost-sama posting from phone so no image
>>336287658
The level design is fantastic and the game is liked because of the atmosphere and progression. Nobody really praises it for the action or the platforming
>>336287658
Its good; maybe not living up to the insane hype it gets but its definitely an amazing game that basically defined the genre and more or less perfected metroid 2d formula
>>336286707
I have faith. IGA is no Inafune.
>>336284709
I didn't think Rabi Ribi was that bad.
I like video games
Anyone who backed La-mulana 2 have anything to leak?
>>336288332
The latest update was about making waterfalls look nice in the new engine and saying using 1's would look too jarring, so not really no.
The one before it was announcement about a delay due to a earthquake giving them set backs, but at least none of them were hurt.
They've said they are shooting for this year, but if it does come out it'll be late fall or december, I think. That's a big if too.
>>336288946
Well what do the waterfalls look like?
>>336291087
There wasn't one. They did a side by side comparison using 1's old waterfall and 1's ice pillar. They haven't made one yet for 2's engine, but were just showing how out of place it looked compared to the rest of the game.
>>336291891
Isn't that because La-mulana 2 has better graphics?
>>336284709
Nah pham La-mulana's great but Super Metroid's still the king
>>336292035
Yes, hence why they are making a new waterfall graphic, trying to strike a balance between stylized and realistic to fit 2's graphic design.
Why does LM have pixel art when it's obvious the devs are talented artists?
