makes me fuckingg want to die when some asshole guy tries to expose me as a “fake gamer girl” and they say metroid is derivative. like you peabrained bitch you complete and utter fool when the fuck do you think metroid was released? it was released in NA in 19-fucking-87 that is before any of whatever you consider to be “real” science fiction games you absolutely worthless bag of bones.
once had a guy tell me he didn’t like 3d metroid bc it was a “ripoff of halo” and he didn’t like 2d metroid bc he thought metroidvania style games were “uninspired and unoriginal” and i was like!!! you fucking numbskull!!! you moron!!!! think about what you just said!!!!!! metroid literally is the inspiration behind metroidvanias are you completely brain dead like you cannot possibly be that stupid. alas, he was. he thought metroid prime was the first metroid game, and metroid zero mission was the first side scrolling metroid.
when i pointed out the literal name of the thing he was like “well how was i supposed to know it meant that metroid” like WHAT OTHER METROID IS THERE. ALSO IF YOU WANNA COME AT ME FOR BEING A “FAKE GAMER GIRL” YOU SHOULD KNOW YOUR BASIC GAMING HISTORY BEFORE YOU ATTACK ME.
(sorry to go off it just drives me fucking crazy like i know my shit this is what i’ve devoted my free time to since i was like 4 this is what i am most passionate about and i HATE when people try to discredit me or prove that i’m “fake” or that i don’t know what i’m talking about in general, but ESPECIALLY when it comes to gaming)
