Metroid Dread | First Playthrough | Part 1 

Yea I work early usually, but I stayed up till midnight to see Oats stream and play the game myself as soon as it came out, I booked Friday off work and thank god I did because I didnt go to sleep until almost 4am. I played until I literally couldn't keep my eyes open. Then woke up, made a dope mushroom omlette and immediately started playing again.

Man, I got that same feeling when playing Dread. That's why I beat it in one sitting.

The game gives me an, "ow my hands, my hands are cramping" feeling.

@@tallynnyntyg6008 What? How? Maybe with the Joycons but with a Pro Controller its comfortable af. The controls are godlike and the movement in the game is even better then godlike.

@@MrKevin486 I just have the Joycons and the Joycon grip. That square shape is really hard to handle.

completely agree!

You damn right

Yeah, me too. I had a few other creators come up with play throughs but I was waiting for Oas to get it

I should have been here sooner. I feel ashamed i watched part 1 of others first. But none the less, its been synonymous. This games great and creating endless smiles.

Thought about that too, but... couldn't every E.M.M.I. encounter potentially end the run?

@@florsch6781 I don’t think it’ll be a problem. The E.M.M.I. generally aren’t very difficult to avoid if you know the map

@@danielcogan8205 I'm not a speedrunner myself, but I found them to be quite annoying at times. Sometimes I just don't know how to handle them, they seem to appear in the worst of places. I mean sure, you can hear them when they're near, but in some cases they would be literally in front of me when I enter the area. I'm not planing on finishing the game in record time, but if there is still stuff to unlock for clearing the game fast, yeah I would love to see that too, but the EMMI could really screw things up for me

There's been a couple seauence breaks already

@@danielcogan8205 sucks it’s RNG where they spawn

Dude, the EXACT SAME THING happened to me. I was running around for entirely too long wondering where I went wrong. That spot just looks like a "morph ball only" slot, since the bottom block is conspicuous and looks like the only one that can be destroyed.

The game does a really good job of pushing you to the next objective. I only got stuck once, and it was like five minutes before i realized I missed a destructible block and backtracked to it.

Dude! I had the same thing happen to me when I played that part! I was stuck for ages till I accidentally shot the other blocks trying to kill an enemy.

Ehhh. Oats like many others is a Speed Runner. Speed Runnig is about tricks and strats not about deductive reasoning, not digging at Oats. Worlds Firsts in Raids on any MMO, or Destiny or any game with "Raids" are long for a reason. Everyone is encountering mechanics and such for the first time and having to figure things out.

On top of that his chat asking so many questions about a shitty giveaway is distracting from him enjoying the game for the first playthrough... Selfish chat

Yeah the music is kinda lame in this one. Honestly weakest in the Franchise so far. I don't mind not playing "greatest hits" but they did that anyways and those where the only good tracks in the game. Namely the Brinstar Red Soil (which is now officially in 4 Metroid Games I know of, Prime 2 Torvus Bog, and Samus Returns as Area 5 Sector 2 and ofc the titular Super Metroid) and Super Metroid / Samus Theme, which ALWAYS SLAPS. Compared to what came before, even by the same dev team. Man. Samus Returns may be a trash game that felt kind of like a rushed beta to Dread comparatively but the Music is just infinitely better.

@@hiiambarney4489 i dunno why you hate samus returns so much but anyway just because a song isn’t memorable doesnt mean its bad, plus this is nothing compared to dullness of metroid 2’s bleeps and bloops and other m’s nothing for the most part

@@hiiambarney4489 the music slaps and fits the atmosphere you wrong bro. Seems like you just have a hate boner for newer metroid games

Sometimes low or even no music sets the mood for a scary environment better than loud music

Naw it's kinda 3d

@@terminus_s_lil_brother-9000he’s referring to the movement

wow me too

I think the major item progression is entirely linear? but the world areas are super interconnected at least.

@@Sandromatic yeah I thought the same

Me and my brother played the game together and got a few items in completely different orders.

From my experience there is not really skippable items in Dread, unlike Super. I don't like the fact that item blocks are everywhere and in even more variety than Samus Returns.

It really is. Even after 4 months, I still run through the game. I’m currently going through on dread mode and it really refreshes the game. In this mode, you die in one hit so you have to be strategic with every boss because there’s now no room for error. Even getting from checkpoint to checkpoint is a pain. I never thought I would say out loud, I jumped into the bug again and meant it

I'm picking up my copy from best buy after work today. I really wish I took today off now! I want to watch oatsngoats but I also don't want to be spoiled.

@@GirlGamer867 I went with the preorder from Nintendo cus you get a key ring, some stickers, and a poster, but now I'm at the mercy of the postman, I also wish I took time off work. Haha

@@justHazMatt Damn, didn't know that. I went through Amazon and only got the game. But it was on time.

The first real (non-tutorial) emmi killed me like 5 times, safe to say I'm right there with ya :D Game's a total blast though

Have watched an hour now. What is your rating of the game then? Love the speed of Samus. It will require a lot of concentration in a speed run, but will be very impressive when mastered.

Well it turns out you need Thoha Chozo DNA to not immediately turn into a Metroid when given the vaccine, so I don't think it would see much success.

To the federation, chozo tech is incomprehensible magic. They also don’t know how to replicate the power suit.

@@playstationarusu i mean we're capable of cutting out and inserting DNA parts irl and yet a civilization 10x more advanced than we are can't figure sth out?^^ every scientist is also a researcher. not to press a discussion here but my initial comment was supposed to be a joke. i'm glad at least DnDBasement caught on to some extend

@@cirkleobserver3217 totally missing the point. what does chozo tech have to do with creating another anti-serum (which they already did in the events of fusion btw).

@@WannasomehugzIs that like a funny cause its true kinda joke cause you clearly mean it lol. Anyway I was just pointing out the reason the game gives for that because in that case there at least is a reason. There's always going to be stuff like that where you would think they could do something, but due to game logic or lore they can't, often with no reason. Why can't ADAM transmit in anything besides radio to get signal through the ground of ZDR? Why didn't the Chozo simply change X DNA to program them to destroy other X? Why was a tribe of Metroid controllers going to destroy a planet to control the Metroids? And the other guy was kinda right, Metroid's are bio engineered by the Chozo and the Federation doesn't understand Chozo tech, it could logically follow that they don't know how to sequence Metroid DNA and make it safe, when it can somehow take over transplant hosts. So again, there's at least a reason for that one.

You should really get one to experience it on your own. Watching others is nice but playing yourself and discovering it for yourself is what it's about.

lol rip ledge invincibility

@@QwertyCaesar they patched it?

disregard responsibilities acquire PBs

Co-op game? You mean Federation Force?

I would definitely like to see a co-op 2D metroid game if it was done correctly

@@NoTLucas no I meant a real masterpiece. Lmao.

@@Rikarikun I think it's very possible. Co-OP mode could even introduce new hidden parts of game. (Simultaneous) boss fights that unlock new areas/items/endings. Something to keep the metroid community satisfied and challenged.

That game freaked me out as a kid lol. Loved it

It works like fusion

@@scarfaceAC2 lame

@@_Mr.Black_ it's still useful. The world was designed with it in mind

No, however, infinite bomb jump is the easiest thing in this game, for some reason ! x)

Yes u can wall jump. U have to be spinning. When hitting a wall while spinning, jump.

Who asked

The game auto saves at certain points, like right after major pickups and right before you enter an E.M.M.I. zone. So, no saves is impossible.
