Is there any REALLY BAD Super Metroid Hacks?

[Kiteguy666]

Like, 0/10 Super Metroid hacks. Because I want to know more about them

[thedopefish]

There are an awful lot of really bad halfhacks out there.  And most of them are not bad in an interesting way, either.

You can have a look at the worst-rated ones here.

This isn't even an ironic reply. The reviews say it all.

[Kiteguy666]

So, I have seen the Super Metroid: Cristener Homenag hack.






Must be really bad if it was put below Freaking OTHER M

[Lunaria]

Well, I mean, you can try this if you want too...

[Kiteguy666]

That hack offended the creator of So Little Time

[Lunaria]

Yep, it should speak volume of it!

That being said, I know there are plenty of hacks that are worse than stupid! but the key thing is just how lazy the entire product is, and how it tries to make the player consider it stupid at every point.

So really, it did what it was created to do! :P

[Kiteguy666]

Is there any Hacks that have not been made intentionally bad?

[Lunaria]

Redesign.



*runs*

[PonchGaming]

Hey, Homenag is a great hack, and so is SLT.

[Smiley]

SMCompetition tried to be good but ended up being a total disaster.

[Kiteguy666]

I would like to ask why you disliked Super Metroid Redesign?

[Lunaria]

I mean, my list would be shorter if I mentioned what I liked about Redesign, which would be: The production quality, and some of the palettes. I guess some of the assembly work is pretty impressive, but I feel most of it was wasted on concepts and ideas that didn't really pan out well.

every single hack

[Aran;Jaeger]

Since (1) most of the people that suggested bad hacks seem to not have an idea of what an actually bad hack is, and (2) the list of rated hacks doesn't show the rating of bad hacks that almost no one played, here a list of the worst existing hacks (taken from my lists of hacks ranked with 1 and 0 stars from my incomplete hack rating list). The order is alphabetically in each part:

Note that lack of changes from the original game went into the judging of hacks (otherwise consider them outside of this list, among the 3 stars hacks). Basically, I considered a situation in which some new SM player that already is familiar with, has and knows about the original game would need to pay money or put in some kind of effort for a hack and thus would really want to make sure he/she will get a fresh and fantastic experience or journey out of his/her 1 choice.

Since (1) most of the people that suggested bad hacks seem to not have an idea of what an actually bad hack is

This makes no sense since this entire thread is asking for opinions, and is entirely subjective.

[Lunaria]

I don't think Aran's assertion is wrong though, most of the people in this thread, myself included, have probably never even played the bottom barrel trash that makes up the worst of SM hacks, where as in contrast: he has.

[Kiteguy666]

Gotta agree with Lunaria there. The only bad hack I have ever played is Super Metroid Stupid

[Quietus]

Possibly true, though there are also hacks on there that look like opinions. Impossible a bad hack? I thought it accomplished exactly what is set out to do, so why is it listed among the others which are likely genuinely crud?

[Lunaria]

Sure, there is the odd one like impossible that I could see people have varying opinions on. But I don't think one or a couple off debatable items on the list invalidates aran's claim nor my assertion.


And for the record, I would actually agree with impossible be kind of trash. It accomplished exactly what it set out to do, but that does not mean what it set out to do what particularly great. But hey, everyone has their own opinion on games. *shrug*

[personitis]

Aran, you monster! Evacuation, Green Peace, and HISHE are masterpieces!

Also, I think you misspelled "Grand Prix 3" in there.

[Borderjumper67]

I have a hack I finished back in 2013. But I thought at the time it wasn't as great as I hoped it would be so it never saw the light of day.

[Kiteguy666]

What was it called?

[Boured]

Super Metroid Zeon



Nuff said.

[mrkishumo]

I liked Super Mega Easy Metroid for its simplicity in being bad.
