David Jaffe insists Metroid Dread has too many rooms after "The Room"

- David Jaffe, a great Game Developer, keeps blaming the devs at Mercury Steam of doing a "Bad Metroid Game", that Castlevania (Aria of Sorrow here) has better design. I'm not using other games footage this time, but he keeps saying that there is no indication that you have to search in "The Room" for a way out, lets see...

Reminds me of the flat earthers which accidentally proved that the earth is round
"We have thousands of flat earthers around the globe" is my favourite take.
Thanks Bob.
lol they did the experiment proving the Earth was round and then said their equipment must be 'off' hahahah
@@h445 but not only that, Bob put the equipment into a specialised container so it wouldn't be influenced by cosmic rays and the like. Yet he came to the same conclusion that the Earth has a "15 degrees per hour drift" (thanks bob).
"its the curvature of the eye that makes it look like a glove from the space "
There really is a poetic arc to this clip with how he goes to each supposed exit one by one, then dies because he just couldn't stop taking damage the whole time.
I literally never died once to a regular enemy the entire game. Only from EMMI and bosses.
@@gordgolbeck2919 holy... me too, so far. ()_o
Maybe Jaffe needs to lay off the reefer a tad when he's streaming "complex" games.
side note, would love to seem him try and play a fighting game online, the rants could be comedy gold.
A good game would auto-aim all the time and melee would insta-kill all the enemies, RIGHT JAFFE?
God damn, if this is not a massive PJSalt PJSalt PJSalt PJSalt PJSalt PJSalt spam moment, I think nothing is! :D
@@acidreighn "This is bad design" is basically the Jaffe version of DSP's "Buggy mechanics!!!!" so I imagine we'd get 'This is how you don't play' levels of gameplay of Jaffe attempting to play a fighting game. He wouldn't block or dodge then blame the game for taking damage.
800 skeet skeet
From this point forward, this room shall be known as the Jaffe room.
That was literally my first thought when I got there myself on my first playthrough. "Oh, it's the Jaffe room!" 😂😂
The Jaffe room is my new favorite spot to visit.

I will
Oh yeah, that's gonna be fun when every room has a name like in Super Metroid. And yeah, this room can't be called anything else.
Thank you for calling out his BS.
Love your content goomba. You do good work.
Hey now, you still haven’t been able to figure out how to get unstuck from between those two pipes. Don’t throw stones. Can Goombas throw stones? Hmm.
I feel you, as this crap is BS. He calls this bad design, but it’s meant to dead end you and get you to think and start at certain spots. This guy must never a Metroid game, like ever.
I agree! This fool has never played a Metroid game before or any game that plays similar to this one like Castlevania or Megaman ZX or Shantae. What a douche!
@@khonsubast5056 not enough room to charge a shinespark
Originally I was willing to admit that the hidden blocks "might" be hard to miss, but right here he actually proved to me that the game does everything in it's power to direct you to the room in question. Thanks for the lesson, Jaffe.
notice too none of the other rooms have blocks as well. that room is literally the only one available that doesn't have an obvious door or hole you can't go through, suggesting you have to find one.
Obligatory Terraformer appreciation post :D
The strongest point in favor of "The room" is that it has an enemy RIGHT where you're supposed to shoot. You fire an extra shot? You discover it. You use a missle? you discover it. You miss a shot? Guess what's behind that enemy.
There ARE hidden blocks later in the game that you're expected to destroy though, when you do have more options.
But I feel like this room is a tutorial for that. If you ever hit a dead end, don't just run out, shoot around.
It doesn't *just* tell you at the start of the game, and expect you to remember. It forces you into a situation where you're more likely to figure that out through experience.
For me the thing that sticks out the most is the flying enemy on the upper section. Flying enemies do not hover two inches off the ground. The only time they ever get that close is when they dive bomb you. The game is basically telling you there should not be a ceiling/floor there.
This man just broke apart his own argument in real time.
When he proves through gameplay that there's nowhere else to go but he still insists "there are so many places you can go" it feels like he's trying to gaslight us.
He's gaslighting himself lol
i dont think he's smart enough to successfully gaslight anyone lol
Nah, gaslighting is intentional and malicious. This is just stupidity.
Another way of looking at this: The game actually does a really good job of making it *feel* open-ended all the time, even when it isn't. Jaffe seems to be pretty alone in having this much trouble here, but he's not alone in missing just how far the game goes to keep you from wandering off until you get it.
Which is good! I'm guessing most players made it through the easy way, felt smart about it, and never realized how much design went into making it feel that way.
At this point I think people just like to use the word gaslight.
It is genuinely amazing that the game is so well designed that his desperate attempts to try to paint it in a bad light actually showed off exactly how good the design is by thwarting every attempt a play could make at ignoring the next point of progression
I'm actually impressed. Despite his insistence that this is bad game design, all he's done is prove how well designed it actually is. I wasn't even aware that the game basically locked you in this area until you figured out how to get through "the room," and with it barely getting unlocked with the charge beam it's basically screaming that there's something more you can do in that room without actually being obvious about it.
Even better it makes you more observant later on so they don't have to soft lock you. A testament to lightly holding your hand at the beginning of a game to help keep the atmosphere as much as possible
it is the same before the first boss where they sofblock you in the tine room so you approche the new "invisible" enemy until it can attack you
not to mention that he literal in game tutorial on hidden breakable blocks was 15 minutes ago on an average playthrough AND there are enemies on Both sides if the ceiling that most people will just randomly have shot it anyway
all the 2D Metroids, from Metroid onwards, holds the players' hands without making the player feel like their hands are being held. Metroid: 1st room? Go to the right?(as video game logic back then enforced) Eventually, the game will block your progress with a morphball tunnel, so you go left, and directly left of where the game starts is the morphball. Once you get past that area, you reach a room that goes up or down. From the get go, Metroid teaches you that its ok to explore, and going left to progress(what amounted to near blasphemy in a platformer back then) is an option. Metroid 2: Right before the 2nd Metroid encounter, you see the molted remains of a Metroid, teaching you that if you see one of those, there's a Metroid nearby. Super Metroid: the eye catch mode outright teaches you tricks and teases new abilities to you if you wait. The entire Ceres Station section teaches the player how to control Samus and her floaty jumps(tap for a small hop, hold down longer for more height), it also teaches you early that there will be areas where you'd have to escape quickly. Then, it has the entire Metroid 1 tutorial in it, but out of order. Going right from the ship leads to a dead end, going left teases various rooms that are locked by pink doors, or hidden behind small morphball only areas, making the player go down area until you reach the Metroid 1 starting area. From there, new players can go right and reach a pink door(that can only be open by 5 missiles) or a room that needs the morphball to access. so the player goes left, and sees the power up. Unless the player knows of the wall jump, getting the power up soft locks the player into being forced to use the morphball to progress. from here the player can collect the missile in the room that needed the morphball, and can learn that shooting pink doors with missiles does something, and would cause players to shoot it more, thus teaching players that different colored doors can be opened by shooting it with something else other than the arm cannon. Heck, Super Metroid COLOR CODES the doors, with the missile tips being pink for pink doors, Super Missile tips being green for green doors, and power bombs being yellow for yellow doors. Super Metroid doesn't tell you this shit, but leaves hints for players to figure it out.
Metroid is actually super tightly design. It's amazing tbh. It Make you feel free to explore and sometimes lost but you really aren't.
I think I know what his problem is. Instead of shooting at enemies like a normal person who plays metroid, he runs face first into them until he dies which is why the hidden blocks aren't revealed to him.
That and he plays like he's playing metroid 1 instead of metroid 5.
@@16BitGamerCat you know, that's not necessarily a bad point. Metroid 1 and 2 didn't have diagonal aiming. With that said, I think the man should know how to aim diagonally by this point in the game. Especially since he's a game designer I guess?
@@spencersegler Nah man, Metroid 1 has the option to shoot straight up, this guy's playing Metroid like it's Megaman
@@ZenoDLC Oh god you're absolutely right
Made even funnier to me by my own experience of going to Mega Man 6 right after finishing Metroid Fusion, I kept trying to aim diagonally and up before remembering that no, Mega Man can't do that. (Also kinda funny that I compared the Slide ability in Dread to the one in Mega Man when talking about the game to a friend who's more of a MM fan)
@@ZenoDLC You're right! He is playing it like Megaman. I don't know why he's playing it like Megaman though.
The game should add a Jeff mode that adds signposts telling you where to shoot.
It should also have an alternate ending that basically indirectly says "play normal or hard for the true ending."
Jaffe mode: 1 really tall corridor leading up to the gunship that you have to jump up
So.... the funny thing about this is... there's an optional powerup you can find that lets you use Aeion (spelling?) to highlight any destructible blocks around you for a short period of time. Immediately afterwards, your meter charges back up rapidly. This makes it infinitely usable and it serves *just* that purpose.
It was definitely rather hidden to me, and came into the game later than right at the beginning; definitely after "The Room". But it's there. I much preferred how early you got the equivalent ability in Samus Returns, but what'cha gonna do?
And for the record, yes; I am a person whom does not "click" with Metroid games and conveyance and gets fed up with them very rapidly. That ability is a godsend for me and helps me *actually* finish Metroid games. But that's a "me problem". Obviously plenty of other people have no problems with it and love the nature of the beast.
Well in the last metroid game they had the ability to see hidden blocks
And it should only be unlocked after you beat hard mode.
I want to thank this man for showing me how well designed Metroid Dread is. I had no idea while playing the game how it subtlety points you to the right direction. There was a lot of thought and effort out into everything. He keeps proving to me that this game is great. Oh and he’s also an idiot.
Yep, the only sticking points I had with the game was the start of Catasis, and being able to completely miss the Kraid fight for FAR too long, because it was through a small lava passage that I felt was telling me to come back later. XD
Aside from that, the game subtly guided me REAL well.
@@AegixDrakan there's actually two entrances into the area with Kraid if I remember right?
I've only done two playthroughs so far but I'm pretty sure I took different paths into there and also fought Kraid a bit earlier.
@@AegixDrakan The one bit I remember scratching my head over for hidden paths outside of bumping my 79% completion up to 100% was the path down to Escue - Weirdly I found the missile tank above the room where the path is before the path. And it wasn't a particularly long holdup, either.
Pointing subtly in the right direction can be good, but I'd say Metroid Dread goes way overkill with it. In older games it sufficed to just put a marker somewhere and let players figure out how to get there. But this whole game is filled with them pushing you towards the intended path to the point of them constantly locking off earlier sections. The only way to get back to them again is either by late/endgame or to go all the way around. This just discourages exploration before the endgame and is simply not good game design in the least.
It was fine in Fusion. It was first for the franchise and the goal was isolation. It was also done better and they didn't constantly get in the way of the players exploring at their own leisure. This game doing the same thing, but worse... really wasn't a good choice. The game plays pretty well and save for some minor control issues it flows really well too. But there's a lot of questionable and just pretty bad design choices that keep this game at the level of just being a good game, rather than an amazing one.
@@AegixDrakan The game is actually subtly pointing you towards the Kraid fight once you get the Varia Suit... It block off the way forcing you to take the Red Teleporter which is leading right to the hot zone door to the Kraid path. And also before taking that door you can hear him roar hinting you into "something is going on here". And also that door is proceeded with a morph ball tunnel designed in shape of mouth is a beast's head, hinting towards a boss or an important zone down there.
I've gotta hand it to this guy. Without him, I never would have realized how well-designed this random room is.
The enemy on the ceiling prompts the player to shoot diagonally up at it, which makes it likely that you'll miss and hit the breakable blocks.
Even if you don't do that, the natural course of action will still lead you to eventually finding the hidden blocks. If you try to backtrack and look for another way to go, you will quickly realize that the game has cleverly locked you into an area of just 4 rooms. The other rooms are: a big open area with 1 enemy, a vertical shaft with two doors that you can't get through yet, and a save room.
"The room" is clearly the most suspicious of the four. You can see the pathway above you with an enemy in it, which clearly implies that you can somehow get there and the deactivated magma pipe leading from the save room to "the room" implies that you need to go through "the room" to open the magma door in the save room.
The game has already told you that if you don't know where to go, you should try shooting missiles at walls and ceilings to reveal hidden blocks. When you put all of this together, you should come to the conclusion that there is a hidden breakable block in "the room" that will allow you to get to the upper pathway and eventually activate the magma flow to progress. And even after that, the platform in the middle of "the room" acts as an arrow pointing you towards the spot you need to shoot.
This whole sequence is actually brilliant. Players who know what they're doing will be able to progress through with no issues, and for players who are struggling a bit more, it acts as a little tutorial to help them get the hang of the central gameplay loop. It teaches them to explore all areas available to them (the 4 rooms), identify the next major objective (turn on the magma flow), identify which direction is most likely to lead them to that objective ("the room"), and examine that area more closely to find the path forward (shoot the ceiling).
It's incredible how much work goes into things you'd usually never notice. A team of people spent a lot of time and effort designing the logistics of just this one single room, a room I probably blew past in 15 seconds on my playthrough.
@@Unknownlight good metroidvania/search action level design is an art-form
It’s legit beautiful game design. Teaching through game play something most games don’t do anymore
On top of that, at this point you just got the charge beam and the entrance to "the room" is the only charge beam door available, which is the game screaming ' this is the way forward!'.
The progression in this room felt so natural to me that I didn't even think of how complex the design is to brilliantly leading you forward. The fact that this guy got stuck here, claimed he was a Metroid fan, and doubled down on his stance of bad game design when infact it's quite the opposite baffles me.
Some day he'll find those rooms he's looking for.
In a different game
Exactly, once he gets the lava flowing, hahahahahaha
**waves hand** These aren't the rooms you're looking for.
Mabye the rooms were the friends we made along the way
Maybe if he shoots the ceiling he'll find them?
The real tragedy of all this isn't that David Jaffe made a mistake initially. Rather it's that instead of learning new game design tricks from the game, he keeps doubling and tripling down on his statements as if he's already supposed to know every aspect of game design that one can ever implement, and anything he doesn't immediately recognize must therefore be bad.
Perfect demonstration of "a wise man always wants to learn, while an idiot thinks he already knows everything."
I don't even blame him for not recognizing immediately what the game is doing, even as a game dev he has spent the bulk of his career working on 3D games, which require much more direct signaling as to where the player can go (it's way easier for the player to miss signals in 3D space than 2D space), and has never developed a Metroidvania at all (His few 2D game credits are action-sidescrollers, not metroidvanias).
@@ali56 that doesn't seem similar at all, actually
@@ali56 It's infinitely better, because the people who keep doubling and tripling down on the fact that this is good design are *_CORRECT._*
As someone whose first Metroid games were Fusion and Prime, I think just from running Fusion I knew about the "bomb every wall" trick when you get locked in a place. Just the sheer number of breakable blocks that had been signified before the game came close to ending made it clear that I needed to be thorough when I was locked into a too small space and unable to progress.
This game literally tells the player earlier on that sometimes they'll have to find their way through breakable blocks that may not be blatantly marked. You might not find this by complete accident while shooting diagonally, but since you're locked into like three rooms and nothing else is signifying breakable blocks even half as clearly as this room is...
Legend has it that David Jaffe vowed to become a game designer after he realised he couldn’t beat Metroid on the NES or Super Metroid on the SNES. As the tale goes, his parents woke up one night to find David at the foot of their bed. Tiny fists clenched and trembling held over his head, proclaiming he would design a game with shiny indicators for people who couldn’t deal with adversity or challenge, while fighting back the tears of bitter defeat.
“That’s the day David lost his innocence” his mother sadly admitted to one of interviewers. Her voice subtly breaking.
“Yup. He knew he had a mission from that day on. Participation trophies for video games” his father quickly added while gazing off nowhere in particular.
at least in metroid of nes and snes u dont see black squares as a terrain :S
@@darkfernando35 yet there is often subtle indicitations that tell you where to shoot.
@@VaderTheWhite And here too with some of the enemies up there in the place you have to go.
I’ve scarce seen a man more determined to convince people something is bad rather than just say he doesn’t like it. For what reason, I couldn’t say, the rationale is beyond me. But this is his crusade, and he’s sticking to it.
In one word: Ego
It's a real problem people trying to put themselves where they want to then ask at it to change more at their likes...
Not everything has to be of their likes cuz not everyone are like them
They want to have their reason for disliking it to be objective so they can use it as a point against the game.
People have a hard time admitting they are wrong. Some will even die on that hill even when they know they are wrong.
He’s a Sony guy, and this is a Nintendo game. He’s been hating on Nintendo compulsively for decades.
You know, my biggest criticism of Dread is how often in closes off previous areas in the early game, but clearly it was necessary...
This game is definetly too line..... not enough linear ...
I like how it pushes you to either press on, or figure out how to sequence break. Fusion cracked down hard on sequence breaks, but Dread feels like it pushes you to use them.
@@NieroshaiTheSable yeah, Dread definitely allows for sequence breaking, which is why I wouldn't call it a linear game, but it can be a restrictive game early on.
@@xxProjectJxx As someone who has literally no sense of direction whatsoever, I really appreciated how restrictive it was early lol
I love metroid games but I've historically been bad at them. Dread was more fun to me because the difficulty was concentrated moreso in the bosses over the pathing.
@@codetaku As a long time Metroid fan, it got on my nerves a little lol, but I get you. Great game either way.
i feel sorry for this guy. he's that dude that just cannot admit defeat in an argument. despite, literally, being stuck in a corner with nowhere else to go.
ikr, he's legit like: "oh i know im wrong but im too much of a prideful snob to ever let the public know"
I mean, he did vote for Biden so there's clearly a history of him being unable to admit he fucked up.

@@TopOfAllWorlds right. Gotchya
I seen this live, and I was laughing so hard as he was disproving his point and still wouldn't admit he was wrong 😂
What would be interesting is if another developer with some notoriety approached him & explained what this video (as well as others in the comment section) have pointed out. Jus to see if he dares to keep this unreasonable position.
@@Refreshment01 Watch the interview he did with Gene Park
What did the chat look like? 😂😂😂
If you ever think you suck at video games, just remember there's always David Jaffe who refuses to learn and was killed by a very basic enemy
Jaffe at least managed to get through some of the game and actually get to at least one upgrade, unlike a certain Cuphead reviewer.
It's actually surprising he escaped the emmi for some time
@@kennyholmes5196 To that credit yes, but if Jaffe wants my respect back. He should beat the final boss without complaining. Though I'm pretty sure the final boss will probably whoop his ass clean
From now on, I'm going to refer to this level of "I can't learn simple things without a guide, I'm pissed, don't tell me I'm doing it wrong" idiocy as "pulling a Jaffe".
@@smashbrolink Imagine Jaffe trying to learn Shinespark
At the beginning at the game there's a text box that says "If you are stuck, shoot everywhere, Walls, ceiling, etc"
It's so funny seeing him desperately explaining that this game is poorly designed, yet the gameplay proves otherwise 🤣
Poor guy needs to learn to take the L and just stop digging.
The more he digs, the more Ls he takes.
he just lazy and stupid
He just needs to dig up!
BUT I INVENTED GOD OF WAR ... before deciding to only do unsuccessful casual games afterwards! 😢😢
In order for that to happen, someone would need to make him a QTE where he has to hit the L button.
I don't know why so many people find so difficult to just say "Im sorry, I was wrong" and then move on. Im pretty sure this dude knows deep down how wrong he is, but he already dug too far into it
Meanwhile, some of us anxiously make sure we've double and triple-checked that we're right before we make any kinds of assertions to begin with...
because he has a ego the size of a galaxy and the brain the size of a mustard seed.
because the internet

I don't know why it's so difficult for people to fuck off and let things be. Just stfu and move on. Stop hounding this guy over his metroid fails. Just fucking move on.
“It’s not a dead end look, I can leave the way I came” yes you left the way you came in cause you reached a dead end…
"Realises he's wrong and he's just bad."
I think... there were more doors because there was lava... flowing through this... tube... so there were more doors... _dies to a tiny enemy_
It is well enough designed that when I encountered "the room" I didn't think anything of it and went right through it without pitching a fit about it.
I didn't even know what room he was talking about for the longest time, it was that much of a non-issue.
Yeah I didn't even recall this room at first when he started his crusade cause I blew through it with no problems. He's the only person who I've seen that had an issue with this room.
I started my second run to get all the bonus gallery content. I just don't understand how it's possible to miss it. You're clearly being led in the direction and have both background and foreground indicating what to do.
It definitely helps that if you've touched Metroidvania games before, you'd know that a room visible on the other side of a wall means that wall's probably breakable. It helps even more when the game says it to your face in a tutorial.
Yeah, I don't even remember this room. It wasn't even a blip on my radar (figuratively speaking). I remember learning about secret breakable blocks and thinking, as a metroid newcomer, "oh shoot, I'm not going to finding many of those." And then for the rest of the game, almost every time I think, "huh, that looks like a place I might put secret blocks, let's spend a couple of rockets to find out," boom. Secret blocks.
I am genuinely boggled by how intuitive their placement is. Sorry Jaffe. I don't what to tell ya, guy.
The thing I realized about half way into this game, is that the game constantly locks you into smaller sections of the map without you knowing. It might feel like its easy to get lost, but in reality you are usually confined to a small segment of map until you find the next item or teleporter. The way they do this is really clever. Opening one path might close another path so that you are guided in the right direction without waypoints. Its so much more clear now.
I did notice actually 😅
Sometimes I worried that might make it too easy, but I still managed to get lost here and there
game is awesome
Like getting the upgrade a the end of the collapsing/burning factory sequence were a falling machine blocks the orginal entrance.
I absolutely noticed it. The developers do a good job at guiding the player to the next intended target, and although I would have liked more options to backtrack and get lost, the fact that I only got lost once is pretty much a first for me with a metroidvania.
I definitely noticed this, but I actually do not like this kind of level design. Combine this with the EMMI and cut-scenes interrupting game flow... I have lost my interest in playing. I very much prefer how SM level design was done over this one. Some folks seem to like it... but I don't. It feels less like exploring on my own and more like being pushed through a maze. Why bother making the maze at that point if you can't go back? Sure it opens up more later... but after I did grapple beam skip... I lost interest and have not been back for a few days. I had more fun rewatching Burn Notice with my dad who has not seen the show before, than playing.
There are a TON of doors that just lock behind you for no reason other than to keep you on the other side of them. It's pretty obvious, and it kinda made me sad, but really as the world opens up it really feels good to go back through.
The fact he is still going and went so far as to prove himself wrong while trying to prove his point just tells me this is a has-been desperate for attention.
For fuck sake, I saw people actually argue his point BETTER THAN HE DOES, by pointing people may miss shooting the ceiling due to the missile powerup placement in the room.
Also, I would love to see somebody check Jaffe God of War and see how much "bad design" is there (I remember a GoW forced you to escort a human just to jam them against door gears to keep the door open, but for some reason, you couldn't use any of the monsters for that. But I could be wrong)
God of War 3. Certainly unintuitive and pointlessly brutal, but to its dubious credit, there was no way to get confused since it was linear as all hell.
Now THAT argument makes sense.
I got the missile power up and still managed to find the right blocks. But you know, I’m not an incompetent loser like Jaffa so there’s that
That was GoW3 but he didn't work on that game.
@@daedrascrolls It's weird, since the games coincidentally got better after he left. God of War 3 and 4 are regarded on a much higher footing than one or two.
I actually love how the game also uses small breadcrumbs to entice you to go the "right" way.
Ooohh.. a missile tank upgrade benind a wall i can now morph ball through... I'll keep going that way.
Ooohh.. a energy part right where i couldn't reach before, ill keep going that way...
There are SO many of those.. and i still see so many people grab it, turn around, go backward, and scream "Where do i go? This Game is so confusing!!!"
Yeah, this game does everything it can to guide the player, making it the most straightforward and easy to navigate game in the series, if not the whole genre. And IT STILL NOT ENOUGH! It amazes me how much handholding is required for so many people nowadays, too many people think its bad game design when the game lets you figure it out on your own. This really shows you why they had to do it this way in order for this game to be successful. I'm hoping enough people learn how to navigate in this game so they can be more daring in the level design in the next one. Good game, I'm not complaining, I just wish it was a little easier to get lost honestly, as weird as that sounds. But I know they couldn't risk it, the series future was on the line.
The dude actually took a break before this area, so he hadn't gotten his bearings yet. He said he struggled to read the map, noted that he was too stoned to play Metroid, and was answering a question from chat whether it would be better to have sex with Samus or Zelda. And before he had a chance to actually think about his situation, someone in chat spoiled the solution for him. He ruined the game for himself and blames the game.
Wow………just………..Wow
so what was the solution?? was it samus or zelda??!
@@h445 The answer is obviously Samus, no question. The only way for Zelda to compete is if you didn't have to choose only one of the Zeldas, but the question is likely which ONE Zelda would you pick, at which point Samus beats them all.
@@GBDupree I mean (SPOILER)
Wouldn't having sex with metroid kill you? And would samus even enjoy sex? She seems like an all business type of person. We don't see much of her personality in these games because of the situations she is always in. From what little we do see of her, that is the impression I get.
@@h445 I hope it's not Zelda. In most games, she's under 18.
This is just.... amazing. I've never seen someone be so oblivious to how they proved themselves wrong so fast and still blather on about how they're right.
I've seen it plenty of times. People who do that are called idiots.
I actually did get turned around here on my first play through, but I found out how to proceed, like, two minutes later and then learned a valuable lesson on how the world is designed that I could use to beat the rest of the game.
Jaffe: "I'm smart, I'm game developer, I know what I doing, rah rah rah"
Also Jaffe, proves just how well made the game is. How it funnels the user into certain areas that teach you about things like walls to destroy.
Honestly, he's never played a Metroid game before, because if he had, he'd know that wall breaking is a staple in the series.
I dont get it. ppl say he's a game dev, has he never played anything remotely similar to a metroidvania before? has he never played anything with a critical path hidden by destructables?? what games has he umm... dev'd?

@@harpy3152 Someone showed a clip of him talking about how Shantae is peak game design, and there are hidden walls in there too.
I don't think he proved how well made the game is at all. I think the opposite. He proved just how much nintendo holds your hands, even in a game that is supposed to let you be free to do whatever the fuck you want. that is shit design.
@eric Spencer who the fuck is jaffe? I'm just making a point.
This was my first Metroid game that ive ever beaten. I got stuck a few times but it was nice not having hand holding
It's actually refreshing tbh... Pretty much all games now use a lot of hand holding. Sometimes we just sit and watch the game and not play it. Did you finished this game?
The game actually has hand holding quite regularly, but its so subtle that people often don’t notice.
@@RekizFilms Yeah. It often locks you into small zones until you figure out how to use your new powerup, and the boss attacks are all VERY well telegraphed, etc etc.
Two sticking points notwithstanding, this game was VERY well designed.
@@rspy24 yeah on second playthrough
@@AegixDrakan that final boss was amazing
Holy shit, people were arguing “Well it’s bad design because you have no way of knowing that’s where you’re supposed to go” but the game literally locks you into that small section of the map until you figure out to go there specifically.
that argue is on equal level to dying to the first goomba in Super Mario Brothers because you didn't move, jump or did anything at all - because the game didn't tell you.
Even if we were to accept that the game "had no way of showing you that was the way to go", how would that still be bad game design? Is the only "good" game design the kind that never lets you explore, discover, or think for yourself? Should every game that doesn't have a giant neon sign with text explaining with great detail how EXACTLY to progress at every step, be called bad design? If anything the game allowing you to discover it can be called GREAT design, as it allows the player to figure it out themselves, as well as giving the player freedom to solve it in any way they want that works.
But why do that if in the last metroid game they had the ability to see hidden blocks

When we start naming every room like we did with Super we need to name this room The Room
I prefer the jaffe room so future players can easily find out what makes this room special.
I think the main lesson I've learned is this:
If you've never played a single game in it's respective series (which he gives me the impression he hasn't), why on earth would you let yourself grab hold of any major gameplay expectations? You'd essentially be asking to be made fun of if you also were to hold so much pride being as "experienced" as he claims he is .
The only reason I can imagine he finds this game poorly designed is because he already had preconceived notions regarding absolute "good design". Essentially he thinks he can call it "bad design" because he's already decided in his brain what "good design" is, and if anything doesn't fall in line with his definition of "good", it gets called "bad". Not incredibly professional for someone so "experienced" I'd say.
If all he said was "I don't think I like these type of games. Sorry guys", then I don't think people would care nearly as much. But from what I've seen, he's been propping up his so called "experience" in the game development field as license to not only somehow excuse his pathetically incompetent gameplay (where he clearly didn't even care enough about the game to exhaust all of his options which is what Metroid is kind of about), but also to condescendingly write off the entire Metroid fanbase as whiny and uneducated by comparison to him. Which isn't how you win any argument. HE as an adult made the choice to broadcast his gameplay onto the internet. So he assumes the risks involved. I'd be on his side if the people shitting on his gameplay were just being dicks making fun of a noob, but that's not the highlight here. He voiced his ultimate opinion, and when people address something he may have overlooked, he basically plugs in his ears and says, "lalala how would you know? None of you have any 'real' experience like me, the high and mighty self righteous Dave?"
Last time I checked Metroid plays nothing like God of War fundamentally. So he's inexperienced in this regard. Period. Any factoids he brings up about his own experience developing God of War or Twisted Metal is pretty much irrelevant trivia. The only notable thing they all share in common is the fact that they're all videogames. It's like getting mad at someone younger than you just because they might have valuable information to share. Drop your fucking pride. No one who actually cares is asking you to apologize for being bad at the game. People have been firing back at your know-it-all demeanor. Makes no sense.
With this stunt he's pulling, he's essentially teaching people that if we have any experience doing anything whatsoever, it's somehow admirable to look down on people we THINK are below us. As if It's ok to be a dick to the people around you as long as it makes you feel good about your own achievements. If we haven't even narrowed down the the exact field of expertise in question, the word "experienced" can't just be this irrefutable, binary state of being. Apparently none of us will ever know "good" game design until we've helped developed a God of War game just as he did. Honestly I hope he hasn't already played a Metroid game before because that would only add more embarrassment to his display.
He plays the game like is a Megaman game, which obviously doesnt fucking work.
Very well said

Everyone has preconceived notions. And he's been developing since before God of war.
He did twisted metal that had a lot of secrets ect.
Jaffe also insits he is still a game designer when he isn't anymore. This new rant just proves this.
The thing about the room is that you'll likely break one of the blocks on accident by aiming diagonially upwards at an enemy.
Right! That's how I figured it out. Saw the enemy on the floor above and took a shot at it showing me the floor/ceiling is breakable
@@TGGA Meanwhile "El Jaffe" was jumping up and down to kill said enemy, which speaking from my experience with Samus Returns, if there was an enemy above me, I would use the targeting system.
Might be an awkward analogy considering my lack of experience with Metroid as a whole
the funny part is that he proved here that even if you don't break a block by accident, the game locks you in a fairly small area so you aren't combing the entire map looking for a solution elsewhere. there's only so many things you can try before you figure it out.
But he said "He doesn't like the shoulder buttons. If I can shoot like Mega Man and kill the enemies, I'll do that."
Little did he know, this isn't Mega Man. xD
@@Minecraftgnom did he actually say that?
LOL You can tell that he’s salty that his arguments were proven wrong. Now he’s just rambling on about nonsense which only makes him look dumber. This guy really needs to grow up and just admit he was wrong.
Remember how in God of War 1 there was a room after Poseidon's trident where you lift some columns to reach a puzzle's hint and the answer was to go quickly down behind the second highest column?
Yeah, I don't know if he remembers doing that part of the level or if he even tested it if was made by other dude...

"You have to hit the enemy in the exact right spot"
You mean the 80% of the ceiling that's breakable? And it's not the enemy you have to shoot, it's the ceiling, the enemy is there to lure you into shooting it, but the enemy is moving around, which makes it easier for you to miss and hit the block you're supposed to instead!
Man, I didn't even realize it locked you in there. This game is extremely well designed. For my first metroid, this has made a very good impression on me.

Honestly, if I had one complaint about Metroid Dread, it's that it will lock off previous areas a lot to make sure you DON'T get lost. Personally, I like getting lost in a Metroid world, and I kind of had to go out of my way to ignore the game's bread crumbs to get that sensation (which thankfully was possible because the game doesn't always do things like this).
This is all to say that he is very, very, VERY wrong about having no clue where to go. It's like a teacher doing everything they can to hint, and lead a student towards the right answer on the test (without outright saying it), and they still get it wrong...
Let's not even talk about the fact that the game literally tells you in text to shoot your surroundings for potential secrets and stuff when you get your first missile and even shows you this since it forces you to shoot a hidden missile block right then and there.
Man baby lies about lava flow to protect ego, details at 10
Ah yes the lava flow, but hey if the lava was flowing then you would just end up at the room you need to go to anyways so having the lava flow if even possible before shooting through there would literally contradict the fact that he is stuck in that room.
highly certain the way to open that lava flow is a one way closed loop between the two other doors of The Room to begin with
There's a worst room than this one. I remember being stuck for about an hour backtracking because I was near a portal and thought that was the way out but it wasn't... I then went through the map through all possible ends and found this little room after the Emmi area at the bottom that I visited but left quickly. It had a small ledge at the very top with enough space for you to morph ball up there. I immediately thought "Ack... I missed that one" and lo and behold, I went up there and left some bombs and the way forward opened!
I didn't get mad about it or anything... that's the whole point of "exploration". It's not exploration if you're being handheld through the entire trip. You have to feel like you're figuring out your way on your own in that regard. Backtracking has always been an expected part of the Metroid experience.
"...the whole point of 'exploration'. It's not exploration if you're being handheld through the entire trip."
Excellent way of putting it very succinctly. What this guy seeks is akin to Undertale's intro, as Toriel holds your hand crossing the spikes.
BREAKING: Washed-up game designer calls out "bullshit" game design, proves how well designed the game actually is.
Now we know why Jaffe never made a game on the level of a Metroid Dread.
I already knew this game was well designed af, but this guy failing to prove how bad it supposedly is has actually made me realize that this is the best designed game ever.
"So many rooms to explore"
Ah yes all other areas are blocked and my argument is falling apart but there must be 10 other rooms in the 5th dimension that I can explore.
I honestly laughed so hard, I though there was more places to go, but I guess I remembered wrong, this actually makes his arguments more invalid that before.
I was more on his side before but he showed how the game points you in that direction. It's one of the only place with enemies and the other directions are locked.
Plus, Dread tells you to look for hidden blocks by shooting walls and ceilings with missiles anyway, in plain text even, so he should've considered attempting that the moment he got confused before he started complaining.

Petition to officially name this the Jaffe Room.
I would say I’m a person that’s bad at Metroid, but I think this room was designed very well: I wasn’t stuck there at all
It wasn't his point but it does demonstrate the biggest problem I had with the game: It constantly locks you into a single path. He literally can't go anywhere but forward, dread does this a lot until you get to like the grapple beam or double jump. This might be really tight game design given it's otherwise traversable when you come back later, but it was quite annoying how long it took until I could freely explore and how easy it was to get stuck in another locked section where you couldn't freely explore.
Its a metroidvania..the entire genre fixates on throwing you into the game without any instruction aside from tutorial bits and advices. Exploration is the key to a metroid.
And the best part was: there even is a tutorial bit and advice that said “hey, if you reach a dead end: try shooting the walls, you might reveal a secret way forward.”

I think the technique he's doing is commonly called "negging". it's the act of putting down other people in an attempt to make themselves look better. I guess he's trying to prove his game dev clout by negging Dread's game design. I guess that's just what happens to game devs who no longer able to make games people want to play anymore. say hi to CliffyB for me Jaffe.
Who cares about Jaffe? XD.

that's really good game design, so many people just followed the logical path on their own without really noticing what was going on or even stopping to notice it happened, even Dav ended up realizing there was only one way to go, pretty cool!

After watching several (probably) more experienced gamers tackle this game (and still not necessarily doing perfectly at it, but at least they all managed without too much trouble), I feel like I need to find this guy's run and see just how deep the rabbit hole can go.
He stopped after the 2nd Emmi. I don't blame the guy, he has a huge wave of people mocking him so he might not be motivated to continue playing Metroid Dread. He seems to like Catlevania so maybe this specific game just didn't click with him.

@@Philip027 A game dev doesn't have to be good at playing games though. Heck, they don't even have to play games in their free time.
@@NuiYabuko It certainly helps if you want to be a good game designer.
Personally, I don't agree with that. I don't feel anyone who is this bad at basic functionality of a game should be anywhere near the driver's seat for designing one, particularly one that asks much more of the player than what the designer is themself capable of. It's just begging for your game to fall victim to various performance and difficulty imbalances.
There's a section with lights and lighter colors to the left and right of the section of destructible blocks. Also, if you look at the bottom texture of the blocks themselves they are individually outlined if both the foreground and background.
The only thing he said that made sense was, "Oh, Jaffe, you moron."
*attempts to demonstrate how Metroid: Dread has bad game design*
*accidentally demonstrates how Metroid: Dread has good game design*
I've gotten lost multiple times in this game. Each time I did I took a step back and looked over the map. I looked at the points in which I got a cutscene or a new upgrade or boss or whatnot. I know that I have to go somewhere beyond the last one of those points. Sometimes, like in the case of the Spider Magnet, the game was pushing for an area to go to now that you had the spider magnet.
The point being, if you take a moment to think about what you can do with the last important thing you have accomplished, you can get through most, if not all of the game with relative ease. He ain't thinking though. He just running and gunning.
I got stuck in after the space jump and before the gravity suit. You are supposed to do to a long horizontal jump with your space jump in a water area. In my brain I thought water places were off limits until I get the gravity suit, but I had to revise my assumptions. Metroidvanias are like that :P
Use the highlight mode on your map to find where to go next. For example, after getting charge beam, you can see all charge beam doors highlighted on your map to see which doors you haven’t opened. After opening a thermal door, you can highlight all close thermal doors.
@@acadianalien That's kinda funny, though. My own brain just jumped straight to "oh, I can cross those underwater areas now" when I got Space Jump and read its quick tutorial, since the text specifically mentioned that you won't gain extra height in water.
This is honestly the best explanation about what he's doing wrong and what you have to think about when you play a Metroid game.
@@acadianalien yes, the text tutorial for the double jump was slightly misleading in that regard and i got turned around by it thinking the same thing aswell for that section, but once i had figured it out the game seemed to give me a chance to redeem myself when i got the space jump because i was like "oh oh oh oh OHHHH PICK ME PICK ME I KNOW THIS ONE" now that i could just reapply the same horizontal jumping principle but over multiple jumps lol
this guy would get lost trying to get the fucking morph ball in super metroid

I really appreciate guiding you through the levels using design and not words. Admittedly the game is kind of linear in how rooms often loop around dropping you exactly where you need to go after getting a powerup. Which cuts on backtracking through the same areas but also cuts the exploration. So I'm undecided if that's brilliant design or if it sacrifices some of the fun of playing a metroidvania.
But overall the game is great and linearity becomes a non issue when you start sequence breaking, which is a brilliant intended mechanic
I'd say a bit of both. It's not the best metroidvania experience in that sense, but still good.
Tbh it's linear if you choose to play it like that. Sure, the paths tend to loop back on themselves a lot more than some previous entries, but tbh Fusion did it more often, and Super did it sometimes. But if you choose to go out of your way (such as to the blinking room on your map, or even to the uncollected Missile or ETank that you saw and the game noted for you), you'll find this game is nearly as open as Super was.
We have infinite bomb jumps that are easier than they've ever been, and basically every major upgrade past the Morph Ball can be gotten early through clever use of existing mechanics. In fact, I almost did early Space Jump bc I saw a missile tank in a conspicuous spot, and the only thing that stopped me was not knowing that you can jump after sliding off a ledge.
@@researchinbreeder Yeah, that is why I said it becomes a non issue if you sequence break, and in that case, I think it becomes more open than most Metroidvanias.
And even if you follow the linear semi-obvious path, in my opinion it is still a lot more enjoyable than the forced linear path of Metroid fusion, and better than the first linear path of zero mission.
To be honest I would say that in general this game is as good a 2D metroid can be without being super metroid, or at least so far.
I've seen people being harsh at the linearity and how you really don't need to think that much to progress the linear path. And I really encourage those people to give sequence breaking a try in a second or third playthrough, it really opens up the game, even just the simpler ones with completely intended mechanics.
you can make a whole career off countering this guys shitty hot takes, its kinda impressive really
Know what this reminds me of?

It's oh-so-satisfying.😂
how can i find that video of the flat earther?
What's funny is I actually managed to miss the breakable blocks in the ceiling there, but there's like nowhere else you can go so I searched the other rooms in like a minute and a half. When I found the breakable blocks I just thought "oh yeah this is metroid, of course" and wasn't mad at all
Metroidvanias are basically collections of navigation and orientation puzzles. That's what makes them so enjoyable. Figuring out how to get to the next room, given the tools that you already have, sometimes using them in ingenious ways.
All of this coming from the guy whose last game directed was 'Drawn to Death'...
Did you notice the story in drawn to death was about a kid who was getting abused at home and having problems in school
Dread is my 1st Metroid, and I'm amazed by the stage design, it encouraged me to explore and find any hidden stuffs and now collected 100% item and learnt Shinespark. It reminded me the fun from Megaman X series game.
Lol imagine his rant when he need to learn shinespark to reach some upgrades, This guy older than me, but when he face difficulties in game, ranted like a kid instead practicing to get better
Allow me to heartily recommend Zero Mission after it. Almost 20 years ago yet still 8 steps ahead of dread in all aspects (except flash shift) as it was made back when a dude with mommy issues that thinks women should be sub 1.6, green eyed and cancer covered wasnt given much say in game design on the nintendo side.
@@ANDELE3025 Dude what the hell are you talking about? If you are saying Sakamoto is the dude with "mommy issues" and that he wasn't given much say in that game, then you are vastly confused or misinformed. Sakamoto was the head of nearly every Metroid game except 2 and the Prime series. He had as much to do with the success of Zero Mission as the rest of the team. And this "mommy issues" thing has to be referring to the FAKE news article that was made as a joke but got accidentally published on multiple newsites. And if you are just assuming that because of the story of Other M, you should know that stuff was added into the story by the Translation team and isn't present in the Japanese version.

@@ANDELE3025 Dude you sound insane, and clearly have WAY more issues than anything you claim (without evidence) Sakamoto to have. And he was the head of Super, Fusion, and Zero Mission, all of which are some of the best in the series. You need to chill and maybe get some help.
@@GBDupree Seething and projecting huh? Could that be regret from rimming a dude with mommy issues?
As for some facts, no, the dude was the lead in OM only.
Super still had around 3/5ths the og Metroid team in or with R&D1, ZM+Fusion was done with the extended/Takehiro getting new blood augmented team (and in fact ZM was done without his input entirely from the then new workers being fans of OG metroid), something Sacuckmoto himself posted in the Development Room notes AND retro outright said no to his requests to change how Samus looks and acts to the point that they had no contact in Prime 2 and 3 past the recording requests from anyone in nintendo itself for JP fans.
The map even tells you you cant go through these places if youve been here before
It's discouraging that developers have this console war mentality. On top of that the lack of respect for the craft of other devs. In this case Mercury Steam and the legend Sakamoto. Even if this guy isn't relevant anymore and his latest game was shovelware. Still your average developer might be as infantile as some kid on twitter. Then again of course people might point out to Phil Fish. But he was THE jerk. A lot of western devs need to be humbled, they're not as good as they think they are and definetively not as good as they used to.
He thinks Aria of Sorrow is better? That's my favorite Castlevania but. Just no. If you can enjoy the core gameplay loop of that game, it should be abundantly clear why Dread does it better. Same with Shantae. Does he seriously think that having hidden blocks alone puts Dread below AoS (a GBA game) and Seven Sirens (an indie game)? Both of those have destructible and illusory walls anyway! What is he smoking???
Weed
He's getting high on his own farts.
Is it vague? Yes. So they limit your movement options. Also the ceiling that breaks is segmented differently on the bottom in the same spot the lines up with the windows. And enemies that run along that area to incentivize shooting. take the L.
“This game is terrible and lemme show you why”
Unintentionally shows how good the game is
Going through the hard mode of this game. I'm loving it even more. This game is genius.
Jesus Christ, it somehow got worse.
Saw on Twitter how he said the ceiling enemy that covers the breakable ceiling in The Room, moves too much left and right and because of that, you might miss the breakable blocks. The most petty nitpick I ever heard in the century, did this guy ever actually play any Metroidvania game ever, at all?
Aren't you more likely to miss the moving enemy and hit the breakable blocks by accident? And would be less likely to do that if it was static?
There is an opening with enemies in it, implying that it can be accessed, but it doesn’t occur to him to attempt to access it in the same room, using the most basic tool at Samus’ disposal?
If he hates this game so much, why does he continue to play it? Life’s too short to make yourself miserable with things that you can’t stand.
He visto este video demasiadas veces, demuestra super bien lo bien diseñado que está el juego y que Jaffe no para de avergonzarse solo jajaja
¡Debo decir que me encanta tu estilo de edición! ¿Editas videos de RUclips a Streamers?
Que bueno que te guste y que lo disfrutes.
Solo he hecho para la empresas donde he trabajado, algo un poco más institucional, no en este estilo. La verdad el primer video lo hice con rabia cuando vi el tweet comparando el precio con Shantae, lo hice a la carrera, terminé en la madrugada, publiqué en Twiter y me fui a dormir, en la mañana vi que había explotado, lo publiqué en RUclips por pura curiosidad y jamás esperé que tuviera esta respuesta, decidí volver a probar a ver que tal y wow, todo está resultando muy alentador, tengo pendiente otro para darle cierre a este tema y después ver que más puedo hacer, todo depende si también tiene acogida, puede que no pase de ahí, pero todo me ha resultado muy divertido.
