I never argued that it wasn't a well crafted game though. Just that its ranking among similar titles is subjective. 

I think people are getting the impression I'm shitting on SM or something, when I'm just saying, as a fan, I think people overhype it with the "best game ever" talk. 

Honestly, my issue is with any one piece of art being rated as "best ever _____" and Super Metroid just happens to be a thing people do that with. I love Super Metroid. I just think basically nothing should be ranked in that way, hence overrated in my eyes. 

Don't worry, I'm probably the one not communicating this properly. But now I'm hungry.

And my favorite horror would be Eternal Darkness, but I've not played it in forever, so ... who knows?

Alright, so SotN may not have been the best example, but I honestly get about the same amount of pleasure from Metroid games I do from Metroid-like Castlevania games; it just depends what mood I'm in. To me, it's just a subjective rating that automatically overrates it when you say "best of all time."

Oh, trust me. I know there are people who don't like Life is Strange because cognitive dissonance won't allow them to see themselves in it. But there are still things about it that aren't great. I love it anyway. 

I think Warren is every awkward nerd teen. Sure, he is cringey, but I get annoyed when the Internet says he comes off "rapey." I don't see any indication of anything like that. 

You're going to be on NWP? What's the discussion? This is all I care about now.

I saw someone compare Jak and Daxter to Souls games recently and thought, "so is the only requirement now that it's at least decent and exists within a relatively large 3D world?"

I've never personally played a Souls game and can't get into Bloodborne, but I'm sure the games are fine for those interested. I just get tired of certain Dark Souls fans saying ANYTHING good is "like Dark Souls." Which is weird, cause you'd think fans would celebrate the things that make the series distinct. 

SM is cool, but I definitely don't share the reverence for Metroid as a whole many do.

I feel nostalgic for my childhood cause there seemed to be a lot more emotion there in general than I experience in adulthood.

I'm not qualified to handle the big red x.

Imo just about every Metroid game drags in a few places and has too much backtracking. But that's basically me agreeing with your last paragraph, so ... 

Forgot about those. That did make me "gah!" 

I was thinking earlier in the game.
