Metroidvania

>metroidvania

Stop using this fucking term. It's like calling a shooter a "doomenstein."

or else what faggot?

honk

Much prefer my scotformers and beltscrollers anyway... Certainly not a fan of jarpigs

>It's like calling a shooter a "doomenstein."
That's pretty cool, I'm gonna call shooters doomensteins now

>We should be calling them, 2D-back-and-tracks! Said OP, before resuming his daily ritual of eating bags upon bags of dicks.

And how would you call them?

I prefer "castleroids". I used to sperg out on gamefaqs when people started calling them metroidvanias. You don't just change names and shit. God that was a long time ago. Back then I wasn't too lazy to have retarded flamewars online.

I like the term "Search Action" but I don't want to give Matt the satisfaction of seeing it become common usage.

suck my dick, fuckin' nerd

But all metroidvanias do is endlessly copy those two games while being inferior so what are we supposed to call them?

Based

Looks like Apex and Valorant just wanted to be a Teamwatch

I prefer codfields

i do call my shooters quakenstein tho

Unlike FPS and Doom, metroidvanias have yet to really move past Super Metroid.

We had this thread like 6 months ago...

At least it's better than a Heroes of the Ancients

I would prefer it if retarded zoomies kept metroid out of their hacky indie retro revival cashgrabs.

Any boomers remember how in the 90s every single FPS was called a doom clone?

You are not getting any younger.

It's a logical name. It's named after the 1585 novel "Metroid" and the 1862 novel "Mania", a cleaver pun that describes OP's sex life, sucking a lot of dicks

that's because they literally were, to the point of licensing the engine

platform explorers

>vidya has artificial difficulty, rng and permadeath
>hurr its a rogueliek stop gatekeeping

no one is

actually it's a willyvania

Rogueliet*

what's a "video game" do you mean a ponglike?

What's that? Do you mean ASSFAGGOTs?

metroid-like. the castlevania part is useless

Not OP but technically they're action-platformers. In general categorising games with other games is just pointless. Calling games soulslike is similarly stupid just say action-RPG or RPG. Nobody calls sports-cars Ferrari-ghini's or Porsche-likes.
