It is really good to hear that this game is selling well. People forget one of the main reasons Nintendo has ignored Metroid for so long was because none of the games really sold well. Same with F-Zero.
I feel like because Metroid: Dread has done so well, Nintendo might even be willing to take a small chance at rebooting some other old forgotten series that have garnered more of an audience since their discontinuation. There might be some hope for an F-Zero title... maybe
7:55 - Still, for Federation plans, this is far more competent than what they've done in previous games. They send recon robots first, instead of just blindly sending in space marines.

For a second I actually forgot that Vinny had just been asked about his favorite "The Beatle" and thought he was just spontaneously naming the first EMMI George
You can really feel it when Vinny is interested in the game, he actually pays attention to it. Not that his sidetracking isn't amusing sometimes but it can really chop up the flow some days.
When Vinny plays a game on autopilot it really hurts the stream and it turns into Vinny running in circles while making weird noises and talking about music and farts.
@@phoebeaurum7113 Well to be honest, just watched the first 20 minutes and he already spent at least 6 minutes doing weird noises and running in circles.
@@neek01 I only noticed it when he flipped the switch on the magma flow. Otherwise it's not been so bad for the rest of the 1.5 hours I've watched so far
Seeing that *White wall-climbing-robot* chase scene reminded me how much i love how Metroid can turn into a great horror game outta nowhere. Also Samus countering enemies that are 1 or 2 meters taller than her is pretty cool
It probably wouldn’t work proper but like honestly a mod id love to see is one that instead of just limiting emmis to patrol their zones, rather they patrol the entire region they are in instead, imagine dread mode
@@XenobladeNerd Considering how EMMI zones have the level design very much EMMI compatible, this probably won’t be too plausible, but I’d love to see play throughs/Speedruns with a mod like that if it were to exist
She's deformed. Seems the artists that designed her have never seen a woman in their lives. That or they pulled the fact she's a woman right outta their as ses because that's not what female shoulders look like.
@@unclebobboomergames And some so called journalists say, she has no personality and she's boring... well, action speaks louder than words. And that he body language tells that Samus is a collected, usually calm, focused pure badass.
@ Have some journalists said that of Samus in Dread? Because this is the most personality she's had in any game, in Dread. I guess you could count Other M that has more dialog, but sadly she didn't actually have much personality. In Dread she has some reactions you can tell through body language/facial expressions that tells a lot about what she's thinking.
@@cordman Same. Especially considering its so close to the start, and completely out of nowhere. When I got there, part of me wished I didn't know beforehand. Oh, well.
9:04 *"We'll soon be entering ZDR's atmosphere."* "...Did they just Google Text-to-Speech?" Personally, I think that robotic voice is an edited Mii voice from Tomodachi Life. Same goes for the other robot voice that Samus brings with her and uploads its data into the level. They sound really similar to the Miis in Tomodachi Life.
Makes sense. Making an entirely new TTS system for a game would probably cost more than just hiring a voice actor, so it's more resourceful to edit an existing one.
Y'know the Mii voices have been used by nintendo for so long. The system appears to have actually gotten it's start within Mario Artist for the 64DD. Some songs have robotic sounding vocals suspiciously similar to those of the Miis in tomodachi.
Honestly I think this is one of my favorite Switch game visually, right under Luigi’s mansion 3. The looks in both of those games is so strong. I think what people don’t think about is that it doesn’t matter how good the graphics are but how strong the art direction is. In this game I feel like you can really see how good the concept artists were.
I believe people always criticize games if they don't have either hyperrealistic artstyles or anime celshaded artstyles. If it is cartoony 3d typically top down, isometric or 2.5d then its bad. 2d hand drawn, bad. But 2d pixelart is good
Funny enough, people are remembering this exact thing about Metroid Prime 1. Watched a ton of retrospective videos before Dread and one of the most consistent observations was how good it looks after all this time.
@@toagradius8856 man, Metroid Prime 1 still looks great today. There's just something about how the world is constructed that makes it look breathtaking no matter how muddy the visuals are at times
Same. And even Vinny literally turned heel and spent _exactly_ half an hour looping back. Looking back at it it's stupidly obvious which way you need to go. The game seems to be really good about this, whenever you get an upgrade you end up already facing the exact direction you're meant to go.
I think we all did. all I know is I saw two superheated rooms and nowhere else to go, despite the game telling me earlier to "shoot your surroundings for hidden blocks"
Game plays like a dream (probably the best 2D action gameplay of any game I played ever) and looks beautiful, but the world design has some serious issues with it. Areas blend together and aren't as distinct as they should be, and using teleports to progress is not only a design copout but also destroys what's left of whatever idea of cohesiveness you had about the world. The fact that the music is background noise and completely unmemorable doesn't help; a blind person could instantly recognize Kraid from Metroid or Brinstar from Super. When you all finish it, do a thought experiment and try to visualize the world in your head, and the route from start to finish. You can't do it, it's a mess, and despite being a mess it's still oppressively linear somehow. Solid 8/10 but the hyperbole about it being the best Metroid game ever will clear out soon enough, maybe with an over-correction of people hating on the game.
finished zero mission yesterday, the chase part is the best experience i have with the game so far and seeing the new one is really Great, the sense of dread and unknown escape is awesome
Going to Nintendo of NY on a game launch, console launch, and card launch. Brave! The wife and I took a trip to NY a few months ago and went to the Nintendo store. Really cool place. We got some shirts. While in line I kept telling my wife how awesome it would have been to meet Vinny by some random chance. Hope you enjoy Metroid! I think it’s one of the best looking switch games.
The moment I saw that second E.M.M.I. pause at the gap, and plan a new route I felt something inside. It's a feeling I haven't truly felt since RE2 Remake with Mr. X. One may call it... *Dread.*
Also I think it's cool how Metroid movement has become less floaty and clunky and more snappy like Mega Man over time. Not to say the original movement was bad: I actually like Samus' signature floatyness. But the idea that her suit is becoming more organic and streamlined and fused to her body and her being able to perform much more natural movements makes sense to me in my own head canon lmao.
Footnote: the high contrast graphical style, I think, is meant to mimic the original pixel art graphics. In pixel art, it's common to have the "voided" areas blacked out while only the interactive surfaces have detail/light. I think that's what they went for here.
Super Metroid often gets tagged for having "dated" or "unresponsive" movement but in truth that's one of the farthest misconceptions. Super Metroid's movement controls have a high skill ceiling. It's much less streamlined for newer players and I understand why some dislike it. That being said, anyone who's speedran the game, even casually, knows how fluid the movements can be when practiced. There's an acceleration to the movement that I really love and hasn't been Incorporated into any of the games beyond SM. This obviously doesn't make any metroid games beyond Super "bad" but there's also a reason why the speedruns of SM have such a diverse and unique way of clearing rooms in record time.
I generally replace Other M with a headcanon: Adam was more of a respected mentor than “the greatest father figure”, strict perhaps but not so cold as what we got in Other M, teaching her what he knew that her Chozo family didn’t. In whatever way he died to save Samus, it was a more meaningful sacrifice that not only omitted his shooting Samus in the back, but also provided a reason for Samus to leave the Federation and work alone. With all that in mind, Fusion seems more bearable, and I was actually kinda glad to see that the Adam AI survived the destruction of the BSL station and SR-388. He’s still a little explainy in Dread, but part of it is probably for new/newer players.
The best part is, the cut scenes actually flow well into gameplay. It’s awesome that it’s so seamless. Half the time, I’ve watched videos of the game, and most people couldn’t tell when it was a cut scene, and when it was actual gameplay. that’s how good it is.
if you want an unbiased opinion: this is the first Metroid game I've ever played and I adore it so far! It looks great, feels great, and so far I've had no complaints about anything. It's really a great game
It’s great but in a different way than what made some of the classics great. A signature of the series has always been backtracking and free exploration, which dread doesn’t let you do too much of. If you dig dread, play super Metroid on switch online, it’s the OG for good reason
@@guitarguy42394 It let’s you do that, you just have to intentionally go from the intended path. Hell Dread has the most glitchless developer intended sequence breaks since Zero Mission.
seeing this absolutely beautifully drawn artwork during the intro recap of the past games just wants me to have them all be remade in that art style. i know that they are perfectly playable to this day but these pictures just look so damn good
I'm glad that the Anything Goes map music meme has endured so long, it's starting to become nostalgic for me from when I started watching your streams.
I feel like when people talk about the Prime games they often won't talk about how unbelievably gorgeous they look, especially considering the hardware they are on. Especially prime 3, which to this day I think is the best looking game to date.
Wow, going back and watching this after finally beating the game for myself, I realized something cool: *SPOILERS* Raven Beak has the same moves in the opening cutscene as he does in his actual boss fight at the end of the game.
I am impressed what Mercury Steam did with the Metroid franchise. Metroid Dread has shown us how the Spanish studio has improved since their Castlevania Lords of Shadow Days.
I only just got Dread a few days ago and already played all the way through it. I'm so glad I deliberately avoided actually watching anyone play it before I got a chance to, but now I can finally watch Vin play it and be as excited as I was
I kept and keep seeing people online complaining about the game looking "bad". Which i just do not understand even in the slightest, everything looks as good as i would think it would, the switch is not a Ps5 or a super advanced gaming pc, but even then this game looks amazing, in my opinion. The artstyle is nice and the designs are a very cool mixture of modernized stuff, Samus's Suit looks like a logical step between Fusion and Dread, as it seems to be regenerating and stuff, which explains the organic and mechanical look.
Regarding the question of Dark Knight memes, I feel compelled to mention that there's an "adult movie" where the plot is wearing Bane masks will get you affection from women and at one point the man's johnson has its own Bane mask.
Its amazing how Vinny can have moments where he can demolish the game and then others where it feels like he lost an important motor skill. There is never an in between.
I was watching another video, didn't realize it was over, then all of a sudden I get blasted with Vinny's rendition of the Metroid theme on kazoo... or stylophone. No complaints here XD
Same. Didn’t care for Metroid at all before I was introduced to Vinny. I’ve still never played a single game in the series, but I have so much respect for it now thanks to Vinny’s admiration of it.
I really like dread because it makes a lot of effort to both add and answers elements of the story that we've wanted to know about for years. It makes me so happy to see that even if dread has a few shortcomings, you can really feel the effort they put into it. A lot of love went into this game. I'm not sure how they nailed the dynamic for new players and long time fans together so well
Played Other M (or Mother as I like to call it) recently, after having watched it played several times to get a look at its story. The gameplay is surprisingly fun and you can see parts of it in both SR and Dread (the parry and overall more fluid combat). What fucks it all up though is its control scheme, which is in all honesty quite horrendous. Not only are there not enough buttons on the Wiimote, which you hold side-ways of course, but you also don't get to use a control stick to move Samus around. Adding to that would be the first person mode, forcing you to hold the Wiimote upright to aim at the screen, leaving you in a static position. This faux Metroid Prime facsimile stops all momentum the gameplay had and starts to annoy the player quite fast. It ended up being a feature I only used when I was forced to. Dodging and countering should not be bound to motion controls. Changing the control scheme to one allowing both a control stick and all of the usual buttons would make gameplay far more responsive and feasible. Scrapping the first person view for combat would also be wise, just give the option to scan things in first person. Story is a whole other problem, though.
I know, right? I wonder how the guy who wrote the "y can't metroid crawl" post feels now. He's been meme'd into oblivion, only to have validation from the devs on both the crawling part *and* the "calling Samus Metroid" part.
@@DarkLink1996. We didn't forget she has Metroid DNA. It's just that people didn't consider her a Metroid because she didn't really show signs of being anything beyond "human woman who is immune to the X parasite".
Vinny: The line for the Nintendo store was an hour and a half. Me: That's a lot of fucking people lining up for Metroid, hell ye- Vinny: Pokemon cards came out today. Me: *BRUH.*
I managed to get my hands on the collector’s edition for my 18th. Funny thing is, I got into Metroid thanks to your stream way back when of fusion and now it’s probably my favourite video game franchise
You could do what my friend did, he bought a copy of the game and then played the game on an emulator, since apparently it's very stable at this point.

49:40 - The infamous David Jaffe room... he hardly took a second to process that interaction and thought nothing of it.
Going to Nintendo of NY on a game launch, console launch, and card launch. Brave! The wife and I took a trip to NY a few months ago and went to the Nintendo store. Really cool place. We got some shirts. While in line I kept telling my wife how awesome it would have been to meet Vinny by some random chance.
Hope you enjoy Metroid! I think it’s one of the best looking switch games.
The moment I saw that second E.M.M.I. pause at the gap, and plan a new route I felt something inside. It's a feeling I haven't truly felt since RE2 Remake with Mr. X.
One may call it... *Dread.*
I love this feeling of [Metroid 5: Metroid Dread] this game instills in me.
“Okay, so is it as dumb as the SA-X- oh god it’s not”
15:20 - Apparently Adam is now Soundwave.
It’s nice Adam is back, a good reference to fusion
Also I think it's cool how Metroid movement has become less floaty and clunky and more snappy like Mega Man over time. Not to say the original movement was bad: I actually like Samus' signature floatyness. But the idea that her suit is becoming more organic and streamlined and fused to her body and her being able to perform much more natural movements makes sense to me in my own head canon lmao.
Footnote: the high contrast graphical style, I think, is meant to mimic the original pixel art graphics. In pixel art, it's common to have the "voided" areas blacked out while only the interactive surfaces have detail/light. I think that's what they went for here.
Super Metroid often gets tagged for having "dated" or "unresponsive" movement but in truth that's one of the farthest misconceptions. Super Metroid's movement controls have a high skill ceiling.
It's much less streamlined for newer players and I understand why some dislike it. That being said, anyone who's speedran the game, even casually, knows how fluid the movements can be when practiced. There's an acceleration to the movement that I really love and hasn't been Incorporated into any of the games beyond SM.
This obviously doesn't make any metroid games beyond Super "bad" but there's also a reason why the speedruns of SM have such a diverse and unique way of clearing rooms in record time.
My head canon is just
different planets, different gravity
Such a great return for the series, and i'm happy that it's selling well
Boy have i missed this type of games for sooo looong
Yeah this game single handling make every other indie Metroidvania look like shit.
@@diegomedina9637 Dunno if I'd go THAT far, but it definitely stands head and shoulders above most of them.
@@astracrits4633 same
Other M isn't canon to me so seeing ADAM again just made me unreasonably happy.
Fusion is smiling from beyond the grave right now.
I generally replace Other M with a headcanon: Adam was more of a respected mentor than “the greatest father figure”, strict perhaps but not so cold as what we got in Other M, teaching her what he knew that her Chozo family didn’t. In whatever way he died to save Samus, it was a more meaningful sacrifice that not only omitted his shooting Samus in the back, but also provided a reason for Samus to leave the Federation and work alone.
With all that in mind, Fusion seems more bearable, and I was actually kinda glad to see that the Adam AI survived the destruction of the BSL station and SR-388. He’s still a little explainy in Dread, but part of it is probably for new/newer players.
well bad news for you, dread makes other m canon (even though it always was)
Dread makes other m canon it’s one of the endings in dread
I ADORE how cinematic this game is, I need to pick this up when I can! Everything seems really well executed and fun to play.
The best part is, the cut scenes actually flow well into gameplay. It’s awesome that it’s so seamless. Half the time, I’ve watched videos of the game, and most people couldn’t tell when it was a cut scene, and when it was actual gameplay. that’s how good it is.
An actual real sequel. I'm pumped from just the intro.
Not only that, but a sequel to my favorite game no less. It also just so happened to be my first Metroid experience, Metroid Fusion.
12:44 - I think the implication is the 'Chozo' took all her awesome powerups.
if you want an unbiased opinion: this is the first Metroid game I've ever played and I adore it so far! It looks great, feels great, and so far I've had no complaints about anything. It's really a great game
I've only managed to counter an EMMI a handful of times. It is VERY hard.
It’s great but in a different way than what made some of the classics great. A signature of the series has always been backtracking and free exploration, which dread doesn’t let you do too much of. If you dig dread, play super Metroid on switch online, it’s the OG for good reason
@@guitarguy42394 It let’s you do that, you just have to intentionally go from the intended path.
Hell Dread has the most glitchless developer intended sequence breaks since Zero Mission.
49:25 for those who want to see how long it takes Vinny to figure out "The Room" and to see "Shit game design."
was this comment a reference to something?
nevermind i looked up "metroid dread shit game design" and its all over the results lol
Vinny was definitely not dreading this day from coming
If he's anything like me he was just dreading every day it wasn't October 8th
from cooming
2:30 - Spoilers: Samus is in the game.
Metroid is in the game?
Dude spoilers
@@TheeeSogg I know, it's the biggest plot twist ever. Everyone was expecting Random Federation Grunt to be the main character.
Vinny is a god tier gamer. He managed to pull off E.M.M.I. counters perfectly more times than I’ve ever been able to
Sure ur not just bad
;)
I managed to counter EMMI the very first time I got caught (not the one in the tutorial). It feels good to pull of the counter and just barely escape
Did you know you get two chances? first when they do the grab flash and then when they stab you
@@ollieguy6781 oof xD
@@Boamere yeah, so far I've only parried them on the first flash when they are about to grab you
I hate that swallowing one of my own ear buds is now a thought that crossed my mind. Thanks vinny
Binyot and Metroid, a perfect combination.
Metryot
the only thing more fitting is Joel and Metroid
I hope no one spoils Vinny with this, like the metroid 2 remake
The EMMI are absolutely terrifying. I love how much I hate going into the EMMI areas
So fucking nice to have Vinny back
Backyot
Metroid bros, we fucking made it.
seeing this absolutely beautifully drawn artwork during the intro recap of the past games just wants me to have them all be remade in that art style. i know that they are perfectly playable to this day but these pictures just look so damn good
Vinny's stylophone of the Metroid theme is godlike
27:51 Damn Vinny got one Lucky timing for not Have died there
'99% probability of death'
Vinny do a god gamer move
I'm glad that the Anything Goes map music meme has endured so long, it's starting to become nostalgic for me from when I started watching your streams.
his reaction to finding out countering the E.M.M.I is super hard is priceless
what episode is this in the long series of "Vinny justifies his Pokemon Card addiction"
I feel like when people talk about the Prime games they often won't talk about how unbelievably gorgeous they look, especially considering the hardware they are on. Especially prime 3, which to this day I think is the best looking game to date.
For 2001, Prime 1 is stunningly beautiful, even 20 years later.
I hope you mean best looking Metroid game and not best looking game period.
Wow, going back and watching this after finally beating the game for myself, I realized something cool:
*SPOILERS*
Raven Beak has the same moves in the opening cutscene as he does in his actual boss fight at the end of the game.
Man it's been such a long time since the story actually went forward and not back.
Right? It's still silly to me that there are 5 games in between Metroid and Metroid 2
@@peco595 Isn't there just the Prime Trilogy?
Oh wait, the two spinoffs
@@tarponpet Also Hunters and Federation Force, both are canon games with Hunters after Prime 1 and FF after Prime 3
@@peco595 I keep forgetting hunters existed and didn't know FF's placement.
I am impressed what Mercury Steam did with the Metroid franchise.
Metroid Dread has shown us how the Spanish studio has improved since their Castlevania Lords of Shadow Days.
Every time he enters a superheated room all I can hear is Farnsworth saying "Fire is indeed hot."
I only just got Dread a few days ago and already played all the way through it. I'm so glad I deliberately avoided actually watching anyone play it before I got a chance to, but now I can finally watch Vin play it and be as excited as I was
Glad the sax virus are back I hope nintendo goes with a lot more horror like fusion did. Fusion was amazing
have i got good news for you
I kept and keep seeing people online complaining about the game looking "bad".
Which i just do not understand even in the slightest, everything looks as good as i would think it would, the switch is not a Ps5 or a super advanced gaming pc, but even then this game looks amazing, in my opinion.
The artstyle is nice and the designs are a very cool mixture of modernized stuff, Samus's Suit looks like a logical step between Fusion and Dread, as it seems to be regenerating and stuff, which explains the organic and mechanical look.
The suit is repairing itself. Ever since Fusion when it was mostly removed its slowly reforming to how it originally looked
2:11:09 I was skipping ahead a bit and I just so happened to hear "That's a funny fetus" completely out of context and I couldn't stop laughing.
Regarding the question of Dark Knight memes, I feel compelled to mention that there's an "adult movie" where the plot is wearing Bane masks will get you affection from women and at one point the man's johnson has its own Bane mask.
I need to know the name.
@@salk9943 "Meme Lover"
No one knew what it was until it put on the mask :y
the script for it was written by /tv/ too
Goofy is Vin's PC monitoring AI.
"Gawrsh, Vinny! I'm afraid I can't do that!"
33:00 “So this is what people were talking about when WOAH!”
I'm 11 hours in. Best Metroid game ever made.
Dude youre like 10 minutes before the ending lmao
Its amazing how Vinny can have moments where he can demolish the game and then others where it feels like he lost an important motor skill. There is never an in between.
I was playing on hard going for sub 4 hours and happened to get to the varia suit in the exact same moment vinny did, it was a neat coincidence
Incredible

I love how this escape sequence just comes out of nowhere 2:47:03, it catches you off guard.
I was watching another video, didn't realize it was over, then all of a sudden I get blasted with Vinny's rendition of the Metroid theme on kazoo... or stylophone. No complaints here XD
As someone with no interest in metroid I'm glad to see this game makes vinny so happy
Same. Didn’t care for Metroid at all before I was introduced to Vinny. I’ve still never played a single game in the series, but I have so much respect for it now thanks to Vinny’s admiration of it.
Thanks to Vinny I bought Metroid Dread on Day 1 and I’m enjoying it right now
@@cowboyluigi5275
I wouldn't expect someone willing to burst another man's stomach ulcer to have good taste
at 33:06 the first time Vinny was genuinely afraid of a video game XD
I really like dread because it makes a lot of effort to both add and answers elements of the story that we've wanted to know about for years. It makes me so happy to see that even if dread has a few shortcomings, you can really feel the effort they put into it. A lot of love went into this game. I'm not sure how they nailed the dynamic for new players and long time fans together so well
already can't wait for vinny to play more of this
That Stylophone this was pretty rad.
I’d kill for a Red Vox Metroid cover album.
It's a nice detail to see Vinny playing Metroid and Castlevania at the same time. :) plus october theme,.
Man, I got the game first day and I LOVE it.
The ambient. The backgrounds. The animations. Everything is so amazing!
25:28 the addiction...
Metroid Dread has shown us how the Spanish studio has improved since their Castlevania Lords of Shadow days.
Vinny is someone who casually cross-counters Shaggy and has no idea the significance of it. A true legend with powers beyond his own understanding.
Played Other M (or Mother as I like to call it) recently, after having watched it played several times to get a look at its story. The gameplay is surprisingly fun and you can see parts of it in both SR and Dread (the parry and overall more fluid combat). What fucks it all up though is its control scheme, which is in all honesty quite horrendous. Not only are there not enough buttons on the Wiimote, which you hold side-ways of course, but you also don't get to use a control stick to move Samus around. Adding to that would be the first person mode, forcing you to hold the Wiimote upright to aim at the screen, leaving you in a static position. This faux Metroid Prime facsimile stops all momentum the gameplay had and starts to annoy the player quite fast. It ended up being a feature I only used when I was forced to. Dodging and countering should not be bound to motion controls.
Changing the control scheme to one allowing both a control stick and all of the usual buttons would make gameplay far more responsive and feasible. Scrapping the first person view for combat would also be wise, just give the option to scan things in first person. Story is a whole other problem, though.
I hope if another vinesauce fangame like marios mystery meat is made they find a way to incorporate vinnys shitty version of the item obtain jingle
*They are now extinct*
"Then why dis game called Metroid?"
Ohohohoho... That meme has a whole new meaning now my friend.
I know, right? I wonder how the guy who wrote the "y can't metroid crawl" post feels now. He's been meme'd into oblivion, only to have validation from the devs on both the crawling part *and* the "calling Samus Metroid" part.
It's like everyone forgot Samus being a Metroid was a thing in Fusion too.
@@DarkLink1996. We didn't forget she has Metroid DNA. It's just that people didn't consider her a Metroid because she didn't really show signs of being anything beyond "human woman who is immune to the X parasite".
Vinny: The line for the Nintendo store was an hour and a half.
Me: That's a lot of fucking people lining up for Metroid, hell ye-
Vinny: Pokemon cards came out today.
Me: *BRUH.*

I managed to get my hands on the collector’s edition for my 18th. Funny thing is, I got into Metroid thanks to your stream way back when of fusion and now it’s probably my favourite video game franchise
Thank you sir for the content as always, keep it coming
Samus is so cool. The new abilities are sick
It is very difficult being a Metroid fan without a switch
Stay strong bro, hopefully you get the chance soon.
You could do what my friend did, he bought a copy of the game and then played the game on an emulator, since apparently it's very stable at this point.
2:42:46
When she teleports, she kinda looks like Dark Samus
"Vinny, look at the map"
"ok"
*starts shooting the side of the room that isn't flashing on the map*
God this game still doesn’t feel real
Nothing is real It all a simulation you need a red pill to get out of the matrix
