Why are metroidvanias so shallow?

No wonder they became indie drivel.

Imagine playing these when you could play proper open-worlds

Shitstained is the worst metroidvania ever made, that coud explain the bad taste in your mouth. Go play the good ones:
S Tier = Symphony of the Night, Aria of Sorrow, Dawn of Sorrow
A Tier = Hollow Knight, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Blasphemous, The Last Faith, Ghost Song.
HUGE GAP
Absolute dogshit = Shitstained a.k.a Bloodstained.
Shitstained is the most disappointing game I have ever played, thank God I pirated it first to see if it would be good or not. Iga truly dropped the ball, he got millions yet he shat out this abomination called Shitstained. Miriam is extremely ugly. The setting is dumb and 100x weaker than Castlevania. The atmosphere is not there. The OST is not memorable like older Castlevania games. The 2.5D artstyle is vomit inducing.
Fuck Shitstained and Fuck Iga. He should go back on his knees, begging for Konami to work with him and make that Castlevania game he always dreamed about and have that be his last game before he retires, so his legacy ends on a good note, not on this Shitstained abomination.

So what is it, faggot? Easy shit where the player doesn't have to get better, or hard unless you get lucky (which would mean unlucky players can get around by getting better themselves)?
Brayden Garcia
A Metroidvania that isn't made by Igarashi.

Imagine saying this while simultaneously praising indieshit/Hollow Knight, with no irony. As if indies aren't the ugliest abominations in gaming, consciously choosing weak soilets as their protags, hollow men, shovel men, soimen. They explicitly choose ugly and pessimistic settings because the creators and fans themselves are this way. You have no right to claim Symphony, when you have such inverted taste.
John Roberts
Which character would draw-in a healthy, virile straight man?
Which would appeal to a mentally destroyed, stunted and hollow "man"?
Logan Phillips
Hollow Knight, Hollow Knight: Silksong and Ghost Song are handdrawn and look 1000x better than Shitstained.
Blasphemous and The Last Faith are pixel art perfection and look 1000x better than Shitstained.
These are the games I named, I don't know why you bring up that garbage dogshit zoomer feminist/sjw/snoyboy/diversity cancer game called Shovel Goy, but you do you. Oh yeah, Shovel Goy was in Shitstained, lmfao, shit games putting easter eggs and references to other shit games, pottery.
ShitStained will always be an abomination. Miriam is the genuinely the most disgusting looking tattood up whore who embodies true ugliness from within, it doesn't matter if you put her in a dress or give her big boobgs, her design remains ugly and vomit inducint. She gets BTFO by Shanoa from Order of Ecclesia.
The only person with garbage taste here is you. Know your place ShitStained faggot.
Kevin Gray
the bar is set low
do you have to emulate Sotn
Connor Martinez
Which does Mr. Shovel look closest to?
You can't make this shit up.
Matthew Scott
Are you that guy who keeps posting the holy cross of overrated games?
Jeremiah Cook
Bloodstained oozes lush, sexy, baroque from every pixel. Indiegays leak dejection, regret, dilation.
The insect theme and hero is fitting. The fans are basically mindless ants, always chasing the next big pseudo-hardcore "gameplay" trends.
Easton Brooks
Also, that OST you linked is garbage, time to get BTFO.

All of these from 1 game, it just goes to show how bad shitstained OST truly is.

Yes but it's easy. Use mednafen or buy a PSP.
No
Austin Foster
The very first track you linked sounds like fucking anime music, a weird mix of cheesy, flamboyant with a heroic theme. While in the post you linked to it at least has a classical restraint and romantic feeling.
Dylan Ward
Castlevania games in the Metroid style are just generally lackluster; they come no where in the league of Metroid games. Above all it's sad to see people rate SotN so ridiculously high on their list, when it's one of the least enjoyable games in the series (sound track is an absolute banger however). OoE is best Castlevania game.
Mason Brooks
dark souls and resident evil are the only good metroidvanias
Jason Wood
Not played either but the first looks x100 better. Is this really up for debate??? Communists and amateur-dev enthusiasts should get their own board like the pokefags and mobile gamers do.
Lincoln Davis
>hasn't played these games
>doesn't know what he just described perfectly captures the story and introduction level with Soma traveling to the Castle
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, ShitStained faggots are literal zoomers, I knew it. Thank you for your reply.

I agree. It's crazy stuff, OP.

They need pornography.
Gabriel Thompson
If you think anime-direction doesn't utterly destroy the dignity in Kojima's character designs, then you're the zoomer. Go back to your handheld tendy games, this is a board for real hardware and the real games that result from them.
You're probably so obsessed with this game because they neglected the handheld port so much, lmao.
Easton Diaz
Why isn't there porno-style snuff scenes when you die in this game? Wasted opportunity. Could have been the Tomb Raider of Vania games.
James Cook
>Hollow shit

ayy
Josiah Martin
I wouldn't mind some sort of mini bad end for losing to Gremory and Bloodless.
Hell, you get a Gremory bad end if you kill Gebel after getting the sword, so there's no real reason they couldn't have copied those assets over.
Ethan Evans
Amazing idea with how any enemies there are. Could have a unique killing-blow clip for each one.
Mason Anderson
Please respond.
Is he trolling about preferring the second?
Hudson Rodriguez
Nah, this shit beats both art wise
The only downside to it is that the gameplay is meh.
You are right though, but you should add Japanese hacks that have lost their spark in their genre
Christopher Bell
Is guacamele fun? I feel like I'm legally obligated to play it since I'm a spic.

Just looks like what an indie hipster imagines GBA games looked like at the time.
