Nah. There's actually a very obvious code switch partway through the video. Before it's sarcastic, after it's serious.
I had a dream last night that Dunkey released a criticism of the entire video game industry and the video was like 1.5 hours long. I watched it in an imax theater and thought to myself "this changes everything". That's all I remember from the dream.
Same, but I feel like you can pretty much create your own Dunkview if you just look at his very thoughtful critique of why Samus Returns is a promising but flawed game, and then just run Metroid Dread through it to see which criticisms hold up and which have been solved.

@@RacingSnails64 this video very clearly parodies things people have been saying to call dread a bad game but also presents valid criticisms that he didn’t like abt the game. As for which ones are which, I have no clue.
@@chickenboi6919 I was on the fence the entire time (it's good sarcasm) until he recommended Other M. Although the loading screen jokes had me leaning towards sarcasm.
Boys, I think I cracked the code. This video is actually a criticism of 2 things: Metroid Dread haters and Metroid Dread itself. For most of the video he's criticizing the Metroid Dread haters, saying generic things like "its 2d" and "unlike God of War which is the best game ever" which are stereotypical views from people who play mainstream games and pass it off at a glance. However about 1/2 way through he starts actually criticizing it, with mostly the parry mechanic and loading screens (there's also the price/comparing it to hollow knight which I'm not sure about). Na I'm just kidding, I don't have a fucking clue if he's serious or not.
"If you remove all the loading screens you're left with 3 minutes of gameplay, look it up" which is obviously not true lol. "You can't parry the robot" he says while the video footage shows Adam telling Samus that she can parry the Emmi. These are just examples of cringey overblown critiques because he knows thats what these people sound like. Its sarcasm and clearly not true which is why its funny.
@@GlobeStan Super Hostile: Vexelvania should be coming out for Early Access soon! While you wait, check out Spellbound Caves II for the official Super Hostile Modpack :)
It's because every bad thing about Metroid Dread is something that's a stereotypical "Bad take". "Graphics bad. It's 2d. It's too much like the others", but they're all actually very valid criticisms.
I legitimately put off watching this video for several months, since I had not yet finished the game and was worried about potential spoilers. Dunkey never ceases to amaze me, keep up the great work.
This guy managing to turn normal English into a completely separate, unreadable language through the sheer amount of irony and sarcasm he puts in every single thing he says is the reason I breathe.
Dunkey has evolved beyond sarcasm to an entire concept all together, leaving me wondering if he liked the game or not at all, despite thinking I knew him.
I think he liked it with some critiques. Half of these are mocking other people's complaints (too hard, getting lost, 2D, etc.) but half I think are his actual criticisms (parry is the solution to everything, load screens).
Yes these days it's getting a bit impossible to understand. But that's why his videos are so great. There thoughtful, there's usually some giveaways in his videos. Like here, he mentions metroid was always bad, and then says this game ruined a good franchise, contradicting himself, and we know he likes Metriod anyways. He also starts the video of with criticizing like haters, about 2D, which we know hating 2D games is a troll. So you understand he is joking But he throws so many curveballs that make you think otherwise. Like he mentions how this game shouldn't be 60$, he says Hollow Knight is better. Which both things are legit criticisms. He also mentions the repetitive parrying and loading. Which are legit issues It's weird. It's so blue balling. He should do tier lists more often in streams or something. Because the last time he showed a tier list of open world games, he placed RDR2 and SpiderMan PS4, 2nd and 3rd on the list. Which were both shocking to see
Cant wait for "dunkey's best of 2021" just to see Metroid Dread at the top of the list lol. At least we can come back to this video just a *little* bit less confused.
And what prompts me to think this is the fact that the video is now in the "more bunkey" playlist of the channel. He probably gave away that we were never supposed to take this video seriously.
I think the comments didn't see all the anti-dread videos that were floating around release time and saying "this is $60, oh my god" and God of War received frequent comparisons. Such a weird thing. Good for Dunkey for parodying it
at the start he was talking shit about metroid and i'm like wait hasnt he talked highly of metroid in the past and then halfway hes like "a disgrace to the past masterpieces" so i dont even know anymore
@@mic01851165 he hits all the legitimate complaints of people who actually played the game after going through all the points made by people who were never gonna play it in the first place great entertainer he is
Yeah I totally agree with the criticisms. The EMMIs were more annoying than anything, but you could parry them when they catch you. I think they were trying to recreate SA-X from fusion in a way, but failed horribly. I would have been so happy to see more of a horror element once the X show up again, including SA-X, but that doesn't mean it's a bad game overall. But that could just be me wanting a sequel to fusion for almost two decades and letting a lot of things slide though.
Dunkey: A masterpiece game like Donkey Kong Frozen Ape. Me: okay he’s being sarcastic Dunkey: Hollow Knight is 100 times better. Me: … well he’s not being sarcastic anymore… or is he?
Frozen Ape was completely joyless to me, but a lot of people, including Dunkey, talk about it like it's the second coming of monkey Jesus (ice version). So that part's not a good example of him being sarcastic
He's being sarcastic while also pointing out its flaws. But the HK thing is probably facts. Honestly, I doubt he could do a review like this on Hollow Knight because the positives of HK heavily outweigh the negatives.
See Dunkey didn't actually hate it because in his previous review, his little brother was holding the controller, which is why he saw the game over screen so much.
This video isn't so much about his real thoughts on the game so much as mocking some of the dumb criticism the game has gotten, like "too difficult" or how some complain about it being "too linear" while others complain about "getting lost". Watch his Dunkreview on Samus Returns, he really praised that game, should make it a bit clearer how much of this video was satire. I really hope he makes a real Dunkreview on Dread eventually tho.
I’ve been watching Dunkey’s content for years and this video has raised the bar for satire and sarcasm. I’ve never doubted myself so much in 4 and a half minutes
I love Metroid (even Other M), but he ain't lying. I think there's only 3 people actually buying these games and everyone else just pirates it or just shoplifts them from Target when they're so on sale no one gives a fuck anymore.
This video is unusually difficult to understand, wrapped as it is in seven hundred layers of irony. However, this is clearly a deliberate artistic choice, mirroring the high difficulty of Metroid Dread.
@@CountOfMonteCristo_ He criticized the games short duration, the high number of long load times, and the over use of the parry mechanic. Which I think together are really the only big flaws in the game as well.
@@mechanicalmonk2020 Yeah, the demo was released yesterday I believe like literally 20 days after the game released. I have it and I like it but if you didn't play the demo it's kinda strange to release it after the game came out.
@@shadow6543 IGN gave the game a 9/10, with gushing praise. They are of course corrupt and paid off by Nintendo this time because the game deserves a 3
@@xyannail4678 not strange at all. Nintendo has no incentive to release a demo (and pretty much no first pay game has demos). This shift implies that they missed their expected sales target with Dread and are now putting out a demo to try to get more people to buy it
Excellent review, Dunkey - you made very insightful and intelligent points. I agree entirely. Let us hope Nintendo comes out with Amibo Festival 2 to redeem their tarnished reputation.
Everything he complained about is legitimately annoying. The load screens, the linearity, the same bosses repeating, the parries. I think he kind of liked the game but has a long list of legitimate gripes, but he didn't want to do a straight video or people would read too much into his complaints as him not liking the game, so he hid the complaints behind a thick layer sarcasm to let him share his criticism without being able to be attacked by either side.
The Metroid franchise really went downhill after they released Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. I mean, it was a decent game, but I think it was set in feudal Japan and not in outer space. I don't remember seeing Metroid in that game at all, come to think of it.
There must have been a half dozen contradictions. It's "parrying, the game" but then it's simultaneously too hard. It's a game series nobody plays, but it's also a "once great series". I think he's managed to cover every possible complaint reviewers have about the game, and most games in general, even when the opinions are mutually exclusive.

what's next? girl SAMUS??
Next they’re gonna tell me Bayonetta isn’t a femboy, these SJWs are getting ridiculous
This is great
I agree. Sick of all these liberals invading our games and making them worse
@@StarscreamsGirl getting out of the joke lit no one thinks that samus was a men xD
In Metroid you play as Metroid
10/10
Actually true for the second time ever
Your daddy work for ign too?
I didn't dread playing it. False advertisement. 0/10
Metroid makes you feel like Metroid.
You're not wrong honestly 😂
Metroid pinball TOO SCARY!!
Dunkey: A masterpiece game like Donkey Kong Frozen Ape.
Me: okay he’s being sarcastic
Dunkey: Hollow Knight is 100 times better.
Me: … well he’s not being sarcastic anymore… or is he?
Frozen ape is a masterpiece, get outta here
Frozen Ape was completely joyless to me, but a lot of people, including Dunkey, talk about it like it's the second coming of monkey Jesus (ice version). So that part's not a good example of him being sarcastic
He's being sarcastic while also pointing out its flaws. But the HK thing is probably facts. Honestly, I doubt he could do a review like this on Hollow Knight because the positives of HK heavily outweigh the negatives.
@@portaalchemica agree, best 2D platformer ever
@@lemonjuice3283 HK has no negatives, fight me.
Dunkey : "The Metroid series has never been good"
Dunkey 1 minute later : "This game ruined a once great franchise"
IGN to Sonic be like:
Yeah Dunkey actually seemed a bit contradictory this video :\
Edit: yes people in the comments it was a joke
@@LukeFlavel clearly its a joke
@Luke Flavel clearly you can't take jokes
@@LukeFlavel "this video"
I can't believe it's been 80 years since Metroid came out out they STILL haven't figured out how to make Metroid crawl. Literally unplayable
imagine paying 60 actual real hard earned cash money dollars for a game in two dimensions like from three whole-ass decades ago
@@John-X Imagine buying new games
@@ShutUpBubi imagine buying consoles & pc's
@Stef * imagine buying indie games like The Messenger when u can buy KNACK
Why is metroid a woman
He exaggerates a lot making you think he's joking, but most of his critcism is actually extremely on point.
That call back to donkey Kong frozen ape was perfect
Dunkey video next week: "I'm done hating Metroid Dread"
I thought next week was when he switches his opinion on Dream and Minecraft again.
@@TJBrumfield what happened this time?
See Dunkey didn't actually hate it because in his previous review, his little brother was holding the controller, which is why he saw the game over screen so much.
"zero mission, not enough missions"
This made me burst out laughing.
Also makes sense as that’s his favorite game in the franchise.
I also loled
It’s one of those things where I’m convinced you come up with the joke, then build a video around it
POV: You're looking through the comments to find the people that somehow took this seriously
The callback to that one fucking phone prank lol 2:40
Dunk is so consistent, he can make reviews where he just says the exact opposite of what he thinks and we all can understand him flawlessly.
Imagine you're me and you didn't. I thought it was sarcasm, but then he got me a few times.
This is the first video where I can't actually tell what his real opinion is lmao
I’m autistic and actually had to check the comments to be 100% sure it was definitely sarcasm
What? He was joking?
I was like this close to thinking that he wasn’t joking 🤏
I was honestly waiting for this review to understand Dunkey’s perspective on this game. I’m honestly more confused than before
This video isn't so much about his real thoughts on the game so much as mocking some of the dumb criticism the game has gotten, like "too difficult" or how some complain about it being "too linear" while others complain about "getting lost".
Watch his Dunkreview on Samus Returns, he really praised that game, should make it a bit clearer how much of this video was satire.
I really hope he makes a real Dunkreview on Dread eventually tho.
This video makes me think "damn, he fucking hates this shit" which makes me think "9.1 amazing, it has a little something for everyone".
no this is a review he hates this game
Very honest of you.
@@moistastronaut it’s literally satire and it’s quite obvious
"Hollow Knight is a better game than Metroid Dread" I will cling to that quote as the only line by Dunkey said without any sarcasm
Metroid Prime 4 hasn't been canceled it's still been in development.
I’ve been watching Dunkey’s content for years and this video has raised the bar for satire and sarcasm. I’ve never doubted myself so much in 4 and a half minutes
He's a master at his craft.
I've been watching this video for years and I still don't know if preferred Metroid Bread to this game
I now love and hate this game and series
Being the first Dread type game, you cant blame him
And I have $60 extra
So we should all buy it immediately
Yes
I don't know what to think about, really, but I think I must be amazing right?
Can´t wait for his rereview in 3 years, where he still says it´s dogshit but he likes it.
Nah it's trash
I bought it before it came out🗿
Ive never been so confused in my life
Well, I’ll say this,
I think I could tell he had some genuine gripes with it.
Operative phrase being "I think"
"You want to play a good Metroid game? Play Other M."
I can't believe the audacity of this man, I love him.
that kinda hurt ngl
I figured that the video was satire the moment he mentioned Metroid Pinball, but that end bit absolutely murdered me
having played all the metroids and remembering i bought other m for 2.99$ at gamestop lmfao
Honestly I loved that game..
@@bas_ee Same, Metroid other M is severely underrated and i hope it gets a HD port.
This video transitions so smoothly from satire to genuine criticism, back to satire, enough that I can't tell what is actually happening
That sounds like worse design than this game
its all satire
That's... not a good thing.
It's all satire, it's pretty hard to miss.
I would take the actual mechanics of the game that he highlights as critism and everything else as satire
"It really makes you FEEL like a Metroid." - everyone, probably
Fun fact: This is just Dunkey reading Armond White's review of this game verbatim
Dunkey could have given it a 4/5 at the end and I wouldn’t have blinked
I would have. 4 minutes and 36 secs is a long time to go without blinking
Metroid bread 👍
Good one, dude
Now we're talking
I'll have some of dat.
@@chocaplikes Talking Heads
Bread 👍🏻
I love how dunkey references a video from 3 years ago with the frozen ape joke. This means that all dunkey videos are apart of the same canon.
You are officially not allowed to stop making content! Brilliant as always
"The metroid series is known to sell 0 copies."
Wow, what a way to start a video.
I love Metroid (even Other M), but he ain't lying. I think there's only 3 people actually buying these games and everyone else just pirates it or just shoplifts them from Target when they're so on sale no one gives a fuck anymore.
it is his way of saying "attention folks, this will be SARCASM"
It's true. Nintendogs sold more copies than the entire Metroid series
@@gutar5675 so we aren’t getting another 2D metroid game for a while huh? Sad :/
Dunkey's new strand type reviews are truly mesmerizing
Strand type reviews hahahahahahah!!!! I'm dying. please send help i am having a brain hemorrhage. ple
MANS REALLY SAID STRAND TYPE REVIEWS LMAO
At least, the pilot of metroid is same. Right?
That blonde blue latex chick?
Zero Mission: not enough missions
A top 10 dunk quote of all time
His satirical ability is dangerous…people will start to believe every word he’s saying at this point.
This video is unusually difficult to understand, wrapped as it is in seven hundred layers of irony. However, this is clearly a deliberate artistic choice, mirroring the high difficulty of Metroid Dread.
Astute
This is like solving a puzzle at Tim Allen's house
The parry complaint is the only thing I know for sure he wasn't joking about
This video really makes you feel like Metroid Dread.
@@gilsercrow3590 Same, but idk how introducing a new mechanic is necessary somewhat negative
I appreciate the occasional valid criticism slipped in between the sarcasm. It really makes this feel like a Metroid review.
wait there was sarcasm?
There wasn’t valid criticism, he’s clearly joking the entire time
It really makes you FEEL like metriod
@@CountOfMonteCristo_ He criticized the games short duration, the high number of long load times, and the over use of the parry mechanic. Which I think together are really the only big flaws in the game as well.
I felt as lost from the review as I do from a Metroid game
Coming back to this, I don't even know if the genius of this video can be comprehended.
This review is a mastapiece of sarcasm and satire. Dunkey is truly the king of this kind of content.
I'm so confused by this review I might actually decide for myself if I like the game or not.
There's a demo. It helped me decide that I do not want to play this game
@@mechanicalmonk2020 Yeah, the demo was released yesterday I believe like literally 20 days after the game released. I have it and I like it but if you didn't play the demo it's kinda strange to release it after the game came out.
It’s liberating. I’m finally free from IGN 7/10 not enough freedom
@@shadow6543 IGN gave the game a 9/10, with gushing praise.
They are of course corrupt and paid off by Nintendo this time because the game deserves a 3
@@xyannail4678 not strange at all. Nintendo has no incentive to release a demo (and pretty much no first pay game has demos).
This shift implies that they missed their expected sales target with Dread and are now putting out a demo to try to get more people to buy it
I think Metroid is a pretty cool guy, he kills aliens and doesn't afraid of anything
Did you know, zelda wears a hat?
Doesn't afraid of anything indeed.
I like how if you beat the game real good he turns into a bikini girl.
eh*
Didn’t understand this video when it first came out. Played the game, now I get it. Excellent job dunkey
Excellent review, Dunkey - you made very insightful and intelligent points. I agree entirely. Let us hope Nintendo comes out with Amibo Festival 2 to redeem their tarnished reputation.
"Directed by Joe Perry" HAHA! 🤘🏼🤣🤘🏼
Dead!!! 💀
Bro 💀
How is this real
Wtf
Wtf Aerosmith
I love when I don’t know anything about the game Dunkey is reviewing because I can’t tell how much is sarcasm and how much is real
How is tha an upside
funi
Everything he complained about is legitimately annoying. The load screens, the linearity, the same bosses repeating, the parries. I think he kind of liked the game but has a long list of legitimate gripes, but he didn't want to do a straight video or people would read too much into his complaints as him not liking the game, so he hid the complaints behind a thick layer sarcasm to let him share his criticism without being able to be attacked by either side.
I mean 99.99% of what he said is blatently wrong so I would hope at least 99.99% of it is sarcasm.
I can't even understand if he liked the game or not
I just beat the game and came back to this.
It was a beautiful experience
The levels of ambiguity this man has reached is god tier.
NFT
i am right clicking
no way are you a lion png
Me: wants to know Dunkey’s genuine thoughts on the game
Dunkey: activates 5 levels of irony and sarcasm
And serious parts to make it more confusing
saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame
The Metroid franchise really went downhill after they released Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. I mean, it was a decent game, but I think it was set in feudal Japan and not in outer space. I don't remember seeing Metroid in that game at all, come to think of it.
Ya metroid made for a great main character in the metroid games
Wait, the monkey wasn’t Metroid?!??
Idk why but I love it when he says “look it up”
I liked Metroid Dread because, at the end, we finally got to play as Metroid
“David Jaffe, the director of God of War which is what a real $60 game should be like…and there are only four bosses like stupid God of War.” 👌
Dunkley loves to confuse us with sarcasm upon sarcasm sprinkled with sarcasm for extra flavour
There must have been a half dozen contradictions. It's "parrying, the game" but then it's simultaneously too hard. It's a game series nobody plays, but it's also a "once great series". I think he's managed to cover every possible complaint reviewers have about the game, and most games in general, even when the opinions are mutually exclusive.
I would’ve loved if he added the reused animation dumb backlash in the next God of War when he said “Real 60 dollar game”
So David Jaffe is acting like he is Martin Scorsese of the gaming directors now… WT_!?
David jaffe only directed the older GOW games. Corey barlog is the new guy
