We're never gonna get a normal Metroid thread again, huh?
>>725922083Normal meaning sycophantic shilling? No, those days are long past
>>725922083>we uhhh never get a normal Metroid thread again, right guise?>BAZINGA
>>725924863I can't believe this crap is real. It reeks of desperation to appeal this franchise to normalfags
>>725922083BAZINGA!
>>725922083Retro did this to themselves
>>725922083Prime fans don't deserve anything else
>>725925387I agreeBut what's baffling to me is how everything seems to be trying to appeal to the average normalfag. Unless you're Fromsoft or making an indie game, there seems to be very little pandering from AAA companies to specific niches anymore. Everything panders to the same kind of shitty person with the same shitty interests.
>>725924863D-di Dido dat?ehehehehehehehe2 seconds later>OH FUCK HELP ME SUMASS!!!>USE THE PSYCHIC VISOR TO REVIVE THE 6 EYED SPACE BITCH
>>725922083Still not sure if the Forspokening of this franchise is worse than the writing for Other M
>IMMA BE A ONE MAN CHEESEBURGER APOCALYPSE
>>725926084it is
>a single bad NPC is now gonna put my favorite series in the crosshairs of /v/‘s hating cesspool and general gaming culture war shit aw man, these threads used to be comfy
>>725927493yeah it's not like 2 shitty games back to back already did that!!!
>>725927493You need to go back to your tendie fan site, this isn't about culture war shit it's tonal incompetence and a complete misunderstanding of the IP.
>>725927493Who cares? It's funny watching grifters pose as devout metroid fans
>>725927779Prime 3 in 2007 already had these things. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean they misunderstand the IP.>>725927882It’ll blow over when they find the next game to hate but it’s gonna make launch annoying
>>725927493they chose this faggot to be the introduction character, the later parts might not be that bad, but this is not boding well for the rest of the game and it sure as shit isn't selling me on it
>>725927493Who are you quoting?
>>725927736>implying Dread was badGet out
>>725927493Prime 4 is also shit for the other 4 NPCs, open world slop and zero innovation. Cope
>>725925956It used to be like that before too, you just didn't notice because you were a child.
>>725922083You aren’t because you’re a liar and a coper especially when an indie game released this year is gonna walk circles all over you. A 100 million dollar quirk fest.
>>725929026Not really. The average normie gamer in the 90s and early 00s was a 110 IQ White guy. Today it's a 90 IQ third-worlder.
I unironically want a spin-off game focusing on the galactic federation troopers.
Find whoever wears glasses and sits next to Phil in the Retro offices, then hang him from his own ironic suspenders until he shits himself
>>725926084Other M was passionate but misguided, this is just disgraceful and embarrassing.
>>725929087Actually it only costs $60
>got the power to open white doors on prime 1>not really having fun with the gameshould I keep going bros...?
>>725927882>If you don't like it, you're not a true Metroid fan!
>>725927882>>725927987
>>725925387>All the tendie fags and slop consumers defending this shit and acting like it's not a big deal despite it being completely unfitting for metroid prime>Once you're a niche nintendo franchise fan you'll never want to stop beating tendies to death with your bare hands
>>725927987>Prime 3 in 2007 already had these things.I'm so fucking sick and tired of you tourist retards bringing up how Prime 3 had NPCs when 1. Prime 3 is the weakest entry in the series, I think it's a good game still, but it's the worst in the prime series.2. People bitched and criticized the NPCs and Intro in 3 as well.3. NPCs in the ENTIRETY of 3 weren't nearly as bad as mackenzie.
>>725922083Depends on what kind of perspective you see as "normal">ACfag has been fucking with threads for fifteen years>more than double the amount of time /v/ has existed before he started his shit
>>725927493>calling out shitty writing is le culture war Redditors need to be deported next after the browns and niggers
>>725930509>tertiary tries, once again, to pass of his wiki "knowledge"Never gets old.
>>725933623>'wiki knowledge'>information that isn't really 'wiki knowledge'????????
>>725922083How come the Hollow Knight series is allowed to have silly NPCs that flesh out the world and act as a contrast to the serious atmosphere, but when Metroid does it you guys all freak out?
>>725925710Agreed. It's been long overdue where Primefags actually got what they deserved. Hopefully when this flops we'll never have to deal with this again and we can focus solely on actual Metroid games again instead of wasting time and resources on Prime.
>>725922083No. Nintendo's exclusives make /v/ shit and piss themselves. Even Metroid Dread was shitposted to hell and back.
>>725934194everyone is shitting on the game bro, not just /v/
>>725922083Define normal. It has always been nostalgia or coomer shit.
>>725933957>how come an apple isn't an orange?
>>725922083And how does this affect you?
>>725922083I'm surprised they didn't remaster the trilogyThe Prime 1 remaster was great I guess they couldn't be assed to redo the motion control portions
>>725934194I don't remember much, if any, hate for dread before it released.
>>725933957I like claptrap. I hate the funny tutorial man in Metroid. Can you figure out why?
Don’t care, the game looks fun. Already preordered and will be playing it on my switch 2 on launch day.
>>725933239except this isn't calling out shitty writing, it's turning into "this will ruin the entire game, the entire series, Nintendo as we know it is dead billions must die" somehow.
>>725935280"The canary died at the entrance, the rest of this mine must be full of fresh, sweet air!"
>>725935280/v/ has been like this for a long time. Tortanic did irreparable damage to this place. Pair tortanic syndrome with the NEET schizo shitposters who shit blood at anything Nintendo does and you have months of doomposting and shit flinging before the game comes out.
FIRE FUCKING TANABE GOD DAMN IT!!! THE HARMONY GAME IS BETTER THAN THIS SHIT!!!
>>725935280They're routine doomposters, don't expect legitimate discussion.
>The Mario Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
We're never gonna get a normal Metroid game again, huh?
>>725935257Based. Metroid is saved!
>>725933957>Serious atmosphereThere is nothing serious about a bunch of quirky chibi stickman bugs jumping around. You have let the lorefag schizos rot your brain
>>725935782>7 Prime games>not a single good oneGood
>>725927493Aw heck dood not my special interests. Shucks man.I love the Metroid series to death, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to buy every game with Metroid in the title. This game looks like dogshit.
>>725935782No, the series has been dead since the Metroid 2 remake
>>725933239thanks for proving him right, ranjesh
>>725935597>They're routine doompostersit's just a bunch of indians who are hired to spread more culturewar shit
>>725936009What I don't understand is that you have the white knights trying to say that the only reason for the negative feelings toward Prime 4 are because of Miles. As if people weren't talking about the barren overworld, the bike, how the game still looks slow, visually looks about as good as a PS4 game, it's looking like it'll take after Prime 3 more than any of the other Prime games in tone and feel and other things, among other things I haven't mentioned. Nobody would be upset with Prime 4 if quirky dialogue from a Federation Force member were the only thing people were concerned about with this.
>>725922083Is there a game this whiny board likes?
>>725936696>>725936589So true xisterUs tendie discordtroon newniggers dindu nuffin
>>725936696Yes.

>>7259220833D metroidcucks get what they fucking deserve.
So uh...that just happened
>>725936696I think it might literally just be Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 and 2.
>>725922083Nigga there hasn't been a "normal" metroid thread since at least 2010
>>725929026>It used to be like that before too, you just didn't notice because you were a child.Lmao no it didn't zoomer. Have you played Metroid 1? The game tells you the controls in some popup boxes and leaves you to explore the world on your own. That's literally it. Fuck you zoom zoom
>>725933957Hollow Knight is a reddit chungus game and it's not Metroid.
>>725940867What makes a game 'reddit chungus', aside from it being popular?
wait a minutedid you just shift into a ball?
Still buying Metroid Prime 4.
>>725940951What the other anon already described, the chungus chibi bugs being quirky and wholesome.
>>725925387Nintendo noticed a lot of players used guides or playthroughs to beat prime 1 remastered so this guy is probably a result of that
>>725941930I'm at a point where I can't tell parody from reality anymore, but with the buzzword /v/ipsters.
>>725925387It's a new Metroid Prime game appealing to Metroid Prime fans.
>725941468Joshua3inchUlmer
>>725942132>if i pretend to be confused and retarded then i can't lose the argument
why is the tutorial npc telling me how to play the game is nintendo stupid
>>725922083Maybe Nintendo shouldn't have ruined Metroid so we wouldn't have been so angry and triggered.
>>725925956>fromsoft>pandering to niche audiances>eldin ring is open world>nightreign is some rogue-lite battle royale shitreally fag?

>>725922345This, if you say anything positive about anything you're a dick-sucking shill pushing the Jew agenda.
>>725942230>>No you see, the quirky chungus is when the heckin kino is s0i literally this but unironically, I look like this I say this, etc.I was hoping you were pretending to be a tourist, that was my benefit of the doubt.
>>725927493where in the fuck have you been for the last 16 years?Metroid threads have been barely usable thanks to sealiontranny.
>>725936696NTR hentai games
How did you retards still have any hope after the first real trailer looked like absolute shit and then the empty desert motorbike bullshit got revealed?
>>725942440>if i pretend to be confused and retarded then i can't lose the argument
>>725942479>Doesn't ignore that 'reddit chungus' is basically a nothing argument or descriptorBeing a /v/ipster is not a personality trait.
>>725927184>>725929271Well look at this, once again we now worship and champion a bad game because we think a new game is a direct attack on us. Sonic 06 proudly watches on.
>>725929209You have that anon.Fed Force.It is a good li'l co-op squad game, emulate it with a friend or two
>"It's about to get reeeal chuddy in here!"
>>725942548It's a descriptor you understand perfectly well which is why you're angry and pretending to be confused and baffled so you don't have to address it.
>>725942471Metroid Prime has always been shit so the standards have always been low.
>>725942479>too afraid to describe something without meaningless buzzwords
>>725942601He's a generic sidekick. This is what you're throwing a tantrum over?
>>725942606I really don't because everything has been 'reddit' for the past 13 years now. You could easily call it 'sovl!' or 'kino!', and we'd be having the same argument.
>millennial writing is okay because /v/ doesn't like anything anyway.
>>725935280BECAUSE IT FUCKING DID, AND NINTENDO WAS ALREADY FLOUNDERING AND GARBAGE WITH ALL THE SHIT THEY'VE MADE FOR THE LAST DECADE. WHY DO YOU SYCOPHANT FANBOYS HAVE SO MUCH TROUBLE SEEING THIS!?
>>725942692Tantrum? I’m funposting.
>>725933957Because Hollow Knight is good and Metroid is not. Can you understand something so simple?
If it were the early 2000s again, would you rather have Rare develop Metroid Prime instead of Retro?
>>725934194Because it's a shit game that also ruined Metroid.
>>725942674>>725942695>YOU CAN'T JUST USE SHORTHAND THAT EVERYONE HERE UNDERSTANDS YOU HAVE TO WRITE ME A DISSERTATION!
>>725935764This, it's a God-created FACT that Beyond is tranny faggot trash. Anyone with differing opinions is a brainwashed sheeple mindlessly worshiping their cult leader.
>>725935247You don't remember >madden is worth more than dread before release?
>>725942140>It's a new Metroid Prime game appealing to Metroid Prime fans.Well it turned me away real fucking quick like how Other M did for me 15 years ago.
>>725942994>It's clearly reddit, by the obvious quirkcy chunguses, that onions out when you do a gemmy, heck ludo styleYour 'shorthand' and 'in speak' has turned into babble. If your take is just in-speak slang, then you aren't adding anything or saying anything.>It's bad because the bugs act cuteAt least gets across your point.
>all that cope damage controlEven the publisher knows it's terrible, that's why all of it has been surgically removed from promotional materials.
>>725943265>if i pretend to be retarded and confused then i can't lose the argument
>>725943143NTA I do not recall any ill toward Dread, I do remember the hate for funko pop Link's Awakening.
>>725940951Whatever I hate is reddit. Many, many things are reddit.
>hes a tutorial character>hes only annoying because its a tutorial>hes only with you for like 30 minutes>hes only with you for like 20 minutes>hes only with you for the first mission>he gets killed off then the REAL game beginsreminder that all of this is unconfirmed coping
>>725943316Doesn't your kind constantly lose your shit when anyone else talks in quirky slang?
>>725943363LA was definitely more visceral, yeah. But all remakes are like that, so.
>>725942692It's ruined!
>>725943417An honest reply.
>>725943431Everything is coping. We're all coping with our existence, constantly reassuring ourselves everything will be fine as our lives collapse around us.
>>725943316Ok I'll speak your jargon>acts like a repetitious trannoid when called out>won't actually engage, but will be a passive aggressive faggot instead>videogame discussion?
>>725922083Arlo’s video perfectly encapsulates how I feel
>>725943651>still pretending to be retarded and confused
>>725943675Arlo? The cookie monster who in particular hates pikmin?
>>725943642And that Myles won't be Samus' love interest.
>>725943723>>acts like a repetitious trannoid when called out
>>725943218I wouldn't be entirely shocked this game was made the way it is so Nintendo tries to make Other M like some cult following game in a way saying "Remember Other M? Yeah that game had better human chemistry than Metroid Prime 4. We were all wrong about Other M" or some shit like that.
>>725924863Who's responsible for this? Last time I've heard, wasn't the writer for this game some "quirky wholesome chungus" lady?
>>725922083At least you're not sitting next to Phil anymore in the cubicle. So... win?
>>725943760Yes. What he dislikes, I also dislike, because people who dislike things are always right and based.
Dare i ask "what's going on?"
>>725944001They ruined Metroid because Nintendo wants to be more like Hollywood so they had to put Marvel tier bazinga guy in there who follows Samus around and never shuts the fuck up
>>725944001BRAPB.arelyR.eaingA.nyP.osts
>open world slop>yellow paint in NPC form with millennial writingmetroid is actually dead, huh
>>725944001Halo devs,a Halo writer and a CA-pilled Retro make Metroid.
>>725944141And he's with you the entire 20-40 hours of playtime, talking every five seconds.
>>725944001new metroid has a retarded quippy npc and eric latched onto it and he and acfag will make sure metroid is impossible to discuss ever again
About time people are seeing Retro Studios has been ass for years now.They nearly killed Donkey Kong with their approach on "legacy" characters and now they're killing Metroid with Marvel quips.
>>725944540Tell me about it, the Returns duology ruined Donkey Kong even more than Bananza did.
>>725922083It sounds really bad. This sissy nerd explains it well (timestamped).https://youtu.be/RjaqPQdGOAE?si=Qosk7IhUloYKtXd6&t=104He says the npc yaps so much, he cuts off his own voice lines because he saw something else and started a new one.
>>725944697Both games are bland as hell presentation-wise. Looks like you're playing a Dreamworks film. Bananza is also ass but at least it has more soul than those games.
>>725927493What is it with tendies and being so hyper defensive about fucking everything related to Nintendo? I get you're probably antsy from all the negative attention aimed at them lately from various sloptubers and journos, but why do you have to act like people can't be concerned about the game, or that people who have issues with yellow paint in NPC form talking like they were written by Joss Whedon are fake fans who just want to shitpost?
>>725945031>wokey kong>soul
>NOOOOO METROID HAS NPCS. AND TALKING>ignores prime 3>ignores super which literally has dialog at the start>ignores fusion which had Adam
>>725945206>"This one thing absolutely destroys and ruins everything that exists!">"Christ, stop being so dramatic.">"Why are you people so hyper-aggressive defending everything from even the slightest criticism!? Cultists, sheeple, slaves of the jew!!"
>>725945336Prime 3 was also shit.Super's intro cutscene is not the same thing and you know it, you disingenuous cunt.Fusion was also shit, and entirely linear to boot.
>>725945420Old good new bad
>>725945336>garbage games have garbage that means other games should be garbage
>>725927493It's glorious.
>>725935782This is devastating to any respectable Metroid fan because the devs forgot the game was inspired by Alien first and foremost, thus what makes the game fantastic is that eerie, unsettling atmosphere of being isolated in a strange world with a fucked up ecology.
>>725945492I'm glad metroidfags finally admit super is trash.
>>725945491Unironically, yes.But not because being older makes it better, the older games are simply better games.
>>725922083>We're never gonna get a normal Metroid thread again, huh?so... win?
>>725945414>This one thingare we just glossing over the open world bike slop now
>>725922083We haven't had a normal anything Nintendo thread since the Switch launch, it just makes the schizos seethe too much
>>725945634>open worldNot open world.
>>725945634You forgot the gimmick psychic powers and the tranny suit.
I saw this fucking nerd in Metroid and I literally shouted "I HATE YOU" from the top of my lungs. Preorder cancelled.
>>725945971Won't accomplish anything until you actually do something about Nintendo.
>>725945538>thus what makes the game fantastic is that eerie, unsettling atmosphere of being isolated in a strange world with a fucked up ecology.Alien was set on a spaceship with a bunch of people who get picked off one by one, the isolation thing only happens in the last ten minutes.
>>725942378If I remember right, he eventually beat the game
I don't think you understand how bad pre-Samus Returns threads could get
>>725946116There's nothing you can do besides stop buying games and record destroying all your merchandise then posting it online.
>>725945336Actually the big thing I noticed is that everyone is ignoring Federation Force. The game where you play as the Federation.They've been planning to do this for a long time. It did not come out of nowhere.
>>725946465Not gonna stop the cultists. The only way is to destroy the source.
>>725945971Well, that just happened!
Did... did he just cancel his preorder?! I did that!
>>725942994>caps lock meltdownKekypoopy.
You guys deserve this for bitching about your shit ass 3d games in Kirby threads.
Why does Metroid cause so much seethe?
>>725922083Oh fuck offDon't fucking act like Metroid threads haven't been shit for over 10 years now>OP posts a pic of ZSS>"UM GUYS... THOUGHTS ON THE METROID SERIES HEH HEH SEX HEH HEH"
>>725947189It's a shit tranny franchise that Nintendo insists on forcing on us despite it never selling well.
>>725947390Nintendo forces you to play these games? Wtf?
>>725947189The main character is a woman and that scares the chuddies
>can again slightly see Samus' face when a flash occurs
>>725929374Nah. Prime fucking sucks. Shitty FPS games with Samus's face plastered on so morons will bleat about "new Metroid" and buy them. Prime is objectively not Metroid.
>>725948012You don't understand, I HAVE to play them to know how SHIT they are. If they would just stop making gaymes I'd be finally free.
>>725933623>motherfucking retarded as shit post>some pedo tranime image attachedEvery. God. Damn. Mother. Fucking. Time.
>>725947189It's very well respected so retarded contrarian shitposters on /v/ have to pretend to hate it.
>>725933957Metroid has a lot of games and been around for decades. It got a pinball game, and even THAT was serious in tone and didn't have comic relief characters. Metroid games have had a very consistent tone of oppressive loneliness and serious-business military/sci-fi stories. So adding in a quirky comic relief character is going to be extremely subversive of fan expectations. If Metroid was on its second game, then maybe your comparison would be more useful.
>>725933957Because Hollow Knight established itself as a series with quirky NPCs that talk in weird ways from the very beginning. They also don't follow you around constantly and never shut the fuck up, you have to actively talk to them. Metroid has been known since the very first game for its sense of complete isolation and loneliness. You are meant to feel completely isolated from contact with anything that doesn't want you dead. Part of that is why Fusion got shit on so hard, and the Adam cutscenes weren't nearly as egregious as whatever the fuck this Borderlands/Marvel quipslop is.
>>725930208Always been that way. Paper Mario has plenty of defenders for modern games, and the remake was a huge misstep in the sense that it was more of a cashgrab than it was a return to form. Chibi Robo was raped. Normies are too conditioned by entertainment subscriptions to take issue with NSO, and they don't seem to understand why it's insane that GameCube games are still largely absent from the digital market in 2025. It's probably a good thing that some niche IP are dead, honestly. Beats being lobotomized.At a certain point, you have to give it up. The people who actually give a shit about vidya aren't as profitable to cater to.
>>725925387Look at the exact kind of people unironically defending this shit and you'll have your answer
>>725935257Good goycattle.
>>725935257I'll be playing on my Switch, but this is the last game I'm buying from Nintendo for the foreseeable future. Being careful to avoid spoilers (haven't watched trailer), but I'm not feeling optimistic.
>>725936823Oh man I wanted to motorboat this bitch when I played this as a kid. Holy shit how can be a bunch of polygons be so hot
>>725936696We like games that aren't shit.
>>725929240Oy vey it's like anodda shoa
>>725948720>>725933957Samus in the manga quips but she's also stoic for long periods of time and melancholic half bird jock. This Jew is a whitewashed Steve urkle that won't shut up and tells you how to play the game and where to go.
>>725949940This has been a disturbing trend in Nintendo games lately. Constant chatter telling the player what to do and how to feel. The Rescue Corps never shuts up in Pikmin 4, but at least there it was just text, easier to filter out.
>>725925387its also about 15 years too late with this kind of character. its not 2012 anymore where millennials were at their peak being euphoric with their sporks. probably the most tone deaf anti-pulse of culture thing ive seen in a game. especially a metroid game. probably the most repeatadly celebrated thing about metroid is the loneliness and feeling of alienation as you explore your quiet environment. it would be like if your estus flag had a voice talking in your every with an annoying fat millennial voice constantly while running around in dark souls 1
>>725927493why the fuck are there chatty npcs in a metroid game anyway
>>725927493>aw man, these threads used to be comfyno they were not. metroid threads have been shit for a long time because of a handful of very specific retards.
>>725950718>it would be like if your estus flag had a voice talking in your every with an annoying fat millennial voice constantly while running around in dark souls 1Please don't give them ideas
>>725950273i remember playing prime 1 back in the day as a little ESL that barely understood any of the text in the game and it was one of the earliest moments of sublime wanderlust ive had in a game that i also had in games like morrowind and dark souls. i also dont buy into the idea that kids are too fucking retarded to play games like this without maximum handholding. they are the same species as us. they can experience that feeling as well if they are just encouraged to keep exploring the game.
>>725947189Some generic sidekick was introduced for the first time. According to Tammy, this is proof that the gaming industry is headed into a recession and won't exist in 5 years. I hate her so much!
>>725951484Kids now don't have the attention span. That isn't something that can be encouraged into them, their dopamine receptors are fried from the constant instant gratification they receive from lazy cucklennial parents who don't want to spend time actually parenting their kids, so they just shove them at YouTube shorts or TikTok.
>>725922083Metroid6 threads might be normal. Prime threads? Maybe never.
>>725922083Anon, we haven't had "normal" since 2012 thanks to ACfag.This will at least be a change of pace from his usual bait.
>>725925387It's such a weird design choice. Like, even if you were to accept that there are retards who'd need garbage like this to handhold them, those retards wouldn't have played through Prime1 through 3. This is Metroid Prime 4, a sequel a fair bit through a series. Like I wouldn't have respected this kind of game design in a brand new entry of something either. It's still garbage. But at least it wouldn't have made more sense. It makes zero fucking sense to do this for the fourth entry of a series that let players run blind for three entries.
>>725949591Name 100
>>725922083Oh, we'll have them. They're just be far and few between, just like it's been here on /v/ for 15 years, aka since Other M released.
>>725922083Basically.
>>725952825There aren't any, which is why we hate all games.
>>725943431>he is in your ear the entire game and you can't shut him up or turn it off>you he calls out anything you missed automatically >he tells you where to go automatically>the game ends with him being called the true hero by Samusreminder that all of this is unconfirmed doompostingand that we already have previews that say he kinda fucks off and we don't hear from him again for long stretches
>>725924863Made for the Big Bang Theory audience, but unironically
>>725952304Sorry modern gaming means that players aren't required to have agency for themselves to notice a more subtle or nonverbal tutorial or actually play the prequels your game is based around, so you need to cater to the lowest common denominator (tendie fags) and make your game accessible to people who are just playing your game because it's a nintendo product.(See Stalker 2, Silksong [though silksong stuck to their guns and told tourists to eat shit], etc...)
>>725948254>Not Brie Larsons faceDammit bingtendo, you had one fucking job.
>>725953291Doesn't matter, /v/'s narrative is truth and final. Have fun never being able to talk about Metroid without this being the forefront of the discussion.
Blame nintendo.
You can tell exactly who is and isn't a tourist judging by if they support this fag even being in the game or not.If they don't like Quirky NPCs being shoved in samus's face, then they're probably not a tourist.If they're defending it and citing "but the other games!!!!", they're probably a tourist.If they bring up "But Prime 2 had NPCs!" they're wiki browsing tertiarys who can't see the difference between U-mos who you talk to 4 times through out the entire game and is generally a no bullshit guide and nerdy quirk chungus. If they're a 3 fag then they just have shit taste.
>>725954331retard
>>725954331>if you have played any of the games you're a tourist tranny fartknocker
>>725927493Bazinga on brother? Let's twist our pickle ricks as a toast to that!
>yet another acfag thread
Oh my god Samus did you just shift reality...?
>>725942692We're having fun, you seem to be the one with tantrums about your favourite game not being taken seriously.
>>725954514You're ignoring the fact that anyone who played 2 would know that Umos isn't an argument. Only tertiarys who know about his existence but don't know that he barely has a presence in the game would say that he justifies McQuirky.3 has NPCs yeah, but they genuinely still fit the tone of the series because most of them are military types. Not to mention that even then, most people hated it then. There's a reason why Prime 3 is seen as the weakest in the entire series. It's also the Prime Nintendo tried to make mainstream, so most Prime 3 fav fags have ONLY played Prime 3, so of course mainstream fags prefer it and love the idea of Prime 4 having marvel tier characters. I like Prime 3 in spite of it's NPCs, but if it's your favorite Prime and you wanted more NPCs you've got shit taste.I don't get why people defend these niggas unless you're a tourist. Prime 4 can be good in spite of them. They're just not good additions and don't fit the series.
>>725955258>If you played metroid you're a touristGlad we cleared this up champ.
>>725955258>There's a reason why Prime 3 is seen as the weakest in the entire seriesThat sole reason being the existence of other living beings in the Metroid universe? It;s hilarious how people keep claiming the Alien franchise is le sole person isolation when every movie has a bunch of characters in them who talk and quip and fight and get picked off until there's only Ripley or her and a few others left.
>>725955091How about I rape your mother's corpse, you piece of fuck?
>>725955601You need to ask your doctors to re-attach your missing penis first buddy.
>>725955476Playing 3 without playing 1 and 2 makes you a tourist yes.
>>725955781Moron.
>>725935257I am having to agree! As a party of neutral ego I must say that METROID PRIME 4: BEYOND does look to be of a superior experience in gaming!! I will be doing the needful upon arrival of this game's date and making the purchase promptly! I suggest you all be kindly doing the same for we can all enjoy the newest game masterpiece as one soul!!!
>>725953925Say what you want but Brie Larson isn't ugly so that'd probably be a step up.
>>725956175She has Londo Mollari's hairline bruv.
>>725950273Someone else pointed out that it's the goddamn Playstation Studios problem, too. Remember God of War Ragnarok, how they'd constantly put puzzles in your way to solve for little basic brainteasers, and not even half a minute into them the characters just immediately start giving commentary from the side about how to solve the puzzles? It's not just a lack of trust in the average player's critical thinking skills, but a refusal to allow for quiet downtimes, instead having some companion that constantly chimes in to make it feel like there's a bigger thing happening than just a player on their lonesome. They hired these actors, may as well shove them into everything they can so the player doesn't feel directionless or without purpose. It's an increasingly trendy problem because they don't want to leave anyone behind, but instead of any reasonable solutions they just throw money and budget at things for silly outcomes.
>>725954331>If they don't like Quirky NPCs being shoved in samus's face,what if I believe this entirely, but also don't think it's really enough to ruin the rest of the game/series/nintendo/video games/mankind as we know it
>>725950718It's strange. The humor feels extremely dated, even to normalfags. Not sure how this got greenlit this far along. Bunch of old farts in suits?
>federation force gets critically panned because it was a very bland co-op shooter game no one wanted at a bad time in metroid's history>they're just making federation force 2 complete with the mecha things returning and a focus on the GF squad, but it's a singleplayer samus journey to justify it this time
>>725956665nintendo is always 10 years behind their trend chasing, 10 years from now they'll be proudly revealing their metroid hero shooter
>>725924863HAHATHAT JUST HAPPENED
>>725930208>All the tendie fags and slop consumers defending this shit and acting like it's not a big deal despite it being completely unfitting for metroid primePar the course. Did you already forget that Silent Hill f also had an entire army of defenders despite being an absolute mockery of a Silent Hill game? Millenials will obviously defend millenial writing and zoomers are notorious coprophiliacs.
>>725956801???
>>725956967millennials have this absolutely bizarre cuckold brain that makes them often think like "i must defend this way so that [soulless satanic company] knows that we love [franchise] so that they can keep making it!!! we must support the multi-billion dollar companies!!!"its really bizarre. millennials are so afraid of being critical because that somehow equals being toxic and pessimistic. its essentially gaslighting yourself to like something simply because it has nostalgic franchise label stamped on it.
>>725957092I think he means more like an overwatch clone or something, but I thought the same thing when I read his post lol
>>725955843>Plays the most normie game in the series.>Thinks the series should double down on normie game aspects without touching why the games that make people put the games on a pedestal>"I'm not a tourist though."Would 'casual' be a better fit?You never see anyone trying to argue that 3 is the best game in the series because 1 and 2 completely over take it. Prime 4 should be more like 1 and 2, not 3.>>725955514Alien isn't Metroid Prime though retard, Prime 1 and 2 didn't have quips. The most comedic things in those games were dark humor in logs like Space Pirate morphball experiments, or the space pirate supervisor seething over his dipshit subbordinates trying to turn the metroids into pets by feeding them treats.Metroid Prime had ZERO friendly NPC dialogue and that was by design by the OG retro.>>725956462Cool. Still detracts from the game and would be better without it. You can defend Prime 4 as a whole and think it'll still be good without defending bad shit. It ISN'T the end of the world.Prime 3 is a good game even though it's worse than 1 and 2.>>725956665Nintendo is just trying to appeal to mainstream fags by going for a lighter tone. I feel like people forget that Prime 1 and 2 were decently dark for a nintendo IP.
>>725922083I think it's a good reminder that it's pointless to ask people/corpos to make things that they don't understand (anymore)
>mfw reading the shill defender posts in this threadSame vibes as the zelda threads. So, just like how niggers called old zeldafags OoTsnoys, what are they going to start calling old primefags?
>>725957153Unlike us, who despise all companies and wish they would be destroyed and all their employees executed and flung into a ditch.
Holy fuck I hate schizos. Fuck this retarded website
>>725957176>the most common praise of Metroid is how it's spooky isolation of just one person against the demons just like alien>alien is nothing like that description
>>725957245There's gonna be a split between 1/2 fags and 3/4 fags.
>>725957245I still have never found this mythical Zelda fan that grew up on ALTTP/OoT/MM but fucking hates BoTW outside of /v/.
>>725936696Strangers of Paradise is generally regarded fondly here. Pretty impressive considering the general reputation of modern FF's on this board
>>725957214this really is the mind of the open world cuck. they think that just because you can move MORE up, MORE down and MORE side to side = better. why would a designer of anything actually think that limitations and restrictions are a bad thing. do you think chess players talk about needing to evolve the game in stupid ways like making the gameboard a cube or add more vertical layers with RGB lighting? no. its the same mindset as those retards that think your fridge needs to be "smart" and needs to be basically a computer with a touchscreen and a bunch of useless fucking settings that dont matter. a fridge is made to store and preserve food. thats it. the design of the humble paperclip is completely unchanged since the 1800s for a reason
>>725936696They like Palworld
>>725957492Actually, that kind of mythical zelda fans is starting to pop out in youtube more and more now. Even the most die hard botw shills are starting to state how they're missing the old formula, thought they will still consooome new product and be part of the problem, just like pokefags
>>725957246yeah /v/ is retarded in the other direction and doesnt even make any coherent critiques 97% of the time. most critiques are just "dude why isnt every character in this game an anime babe splurting cum out of every orifice???"
>>725922083Even if MP4 was a perfect game, its release would've doomed your threads anyway. The moment a game series becomes relevant, people here rush to shit up its threads.
>>725956705>these gf trooper guys are cool i wonder if a spin-off game would workThe GF trooper monkey paw continues to curl.
>>725927493Myles is not a bad NPC though
>>725922083How come you're not allowed to criticize anything Nintendo on /v/? Nobody cares if you shit on anything Sony or Microsoft. But if you say so much as a single word against a Nintendo game, you're a "troll" or "schizo" or "grifter" or whatever other buzzword they feel like using.It's genuinely very weird that only Nintendo games get treated like these sacred cows.
>>725922083Nope. Funposters will be posting that cringey dialogue in every Metriod thread for the next several decades.Good reminder that it takes multiple games to build up good will but just one bad character to destroy it.
>>725957946it's literally one guy, you can catch his incoherent schizoposting in the famitsu general, it's like a zoo
>>725957671It's not even necessarily open world that poisoned Aonuma's mind. It's that he escaped the shadow of Ocarina of Time with one of the biggest "new" successes ever. Dude was stuck for nearly 20 years trying to chase after OoT's flash in the pan and constantly got criticized for it. "Not enough like OoT," "Too much like OoT," and so forth. He even looked back at games like Majora's Mask with frustration for the 3DS remake and created a "WHAT WERE WE THINKING?" list of choices he tried to skullfuck into "fixes" that most generally agree fucked the game up something fierce.Open world is just the tip of the iceberg, Aonuma has to square away older games as only loved for nostalgia because he genuinely believes in that Japanese mindset that the new successful thing is just better in every way. It's the same mentality that used to have the Japs kill their MMO games after a few years and make a new one to replace them.
>>725957325Tell them to stop worshiping companies, then.
>>725957946the weirdest thing is when they call you a snoy for not liking something nintendo does. do they think its 2005 or something? nobody gives a shit about a fake gay ass console war. i havent owned a console since the 7th gen. i can still criticise idiotic and anti-consumer practice with nintendo AND any other company.
>>725928954>Dread wasn't badNo, you get out.
>>725958205It was a dogshit game that barely even qualifies as a metroidvania game BUT the final boss was fucking kino so I'll forgive it
Eric the schizo ruins everything
>>725924863Everytime you replay the game you will be forced to listen to this shitty NPC.I'm more concerned though if there is gonna be any sequence break in this installment.Metroid Prime had little to no planned or intentional sequence break, it was very linear compared to Super Metroid or Zero Mission.
>>725958354I was wondering when the Eric lunatic would show up
>>725958205Dread was fine you schizo little cunt.
>>725957946>>725958146>>725958173You lost, Eric.
>>725958470>Fusion 2.0>fineGet out schizo
>>725927493>and general gaming culture war shitI knew it wouldn't be long before you fags started calling people Nazi chuds for not wanting marvel quips in Metroid.
>>725958554Fusion was also fine. Yeah, it's linear and not so freeform on exploration. But I don't need that as the sole definition of a Metroid game. If you do, that's on you.
>>725958552im employed so i still dont quite know who eric is. ive seen him mentioned around but i thought he was a nintendo schizo or something? maybe im confusing him with someone else
>>7259339571 - Hollow Knight NPCs are part of the franchise identity, partly because of the Kickstarter campaign where many NPCs were done by backers ; HK is not Metroid2 - The NPCs are much better than this Mackenzie dude3 - Very few of them gave hints but they didn't serve as dumb, pointless tutorials
>>725958650>Yeah, it's linear and not so freeform on explorationHence why it's shit. That game has no reason to exist when Zero Mission already existed. Complete downgrade>b -b--b-bbut it's good because mommy bought me the game for kikemas!!!!I don't care
>>725957214aonuma is a bad example because it's generally agreed upon that the aonuma is a bad zelda director by people who actually play the gameshe also was directly responsible for mm3d being inferior to the n64 version, almost purely because he wasn't the director of the original and wanted to make it 'his', even if it was to the game detriment
>>725958680>im employedOh, so you're Darren the schizo
>>725958801I didn't play Fusion on a real GBA ever. I didn't play much of the series besides Prime 1 until more recently with a binge. I'm also not obsessed with 100% completion ratings since I'm a one-and-doner. I am not you. So bugger off.
>>725957176But this humor has fallen out of mainstream years ago
Using the power bomb to blow that glass tunnel in Meridia was bullshit and the only hint was the other one that was already damaged?
>>725958946>I'm also not obsessed with 100% completion ratings since I'm a one-and-doner.Me neither. What does that have to do with fusion not being shit?
Here we fucking go
>>725958805I remember back then magazines talking how Majora‘s Mask would led by Aonuma instead of legendary Miyamoto.It was a lie?
>>725959003>I am not you.Obviously, you're a retarded piece of shit fugly ass tranny.
X-Fusion 1.3 when?
>>725959052>poopdickshizo is here nowThread was fun while it lasted
>>725957332Metroid is more solitude than compelete isolation.Samus is a complete lone wolf in 1 and 2. She worked with the bounty hunters and generic GF troopers in a massive set piece intro mission before they all disappear and go rogue after the intro in 3, then they're completely irrelevant for the rest of the game except for their boss fights. Nobody gave a shit about them except for Rundas and that's only because he wasn't an ass like the other BHs and his theme being fucking baller.4 explicitly is trying to go for a "werk together with teh group of quirky gf soldiers!!!!" to the point of focusing on it hard and having health bars for the soldiers on the HUD.
>>725959130Aonuma did direct Majora's Mask, that other anon slipped on that. However, it was a rushjob game that kinda came out haphazardly and because Ocarina of Time was still so fresh while MM was kind of meant to be an expansion at first, things were chaotic, disjointed and experimental. When he got to revisit the game for the remake, he was pissy about the decisions he and the team had made that were non-traditional or just plain unusual in such a rush period.
>>725945336You have never played a Metroid game in your life.
>>725945270Nobody is talking about Donkey Kong Country 2.
>>725958801Fusion was made before Zero Mission, dipshit.
>>725930509>>725955258I’ll die on this hill defending Prime 3 because I feel the NPCs contribute to the worldbuidling specially in a game with multiple planetsBut I’ll shit on Prime 4 even harder for this travesty they are doing. Dialogue has to have meaning, words carry a purpose. This is why the few scenes of Dread are so impactful AND THIS FOUR EYES PIECE OF SHIT IS NOW CAUSING ALL THE RETARDS IN EXISTENCE TO EQUATE MARVEL TIER HUMOR WITH PRIME 3
>>725957245No you called old zeldafags OoTsnoys to falseflag. Not wanting Claptrap talking to us constantly in a Metroid game is a legitimate complaint.
>>725959274You do the same things you do in all Metroid games except this time you can actually work with the Galactic Federation troops who are usually dead when you find them or are environmental filler. Personally I'm okay with being able to work with the people I usually have to perform funeral rights for or pretend don't exist.
>>725922083We'd need to get a real Metroid game first.
>>725959889ok snoycubie
>>725942140>Metroid, 2007: "These pirates are more fragile than they appear.">Metroid, 2025: "It's about to get real nerdy in here..."Do you notice a difference or are you retarded?
>>725924863why did they ruin the only serious nintendo franchise?this character would fit better in zelda or mario
>>725958147What poisoned Aonuma's mind is that he never liked Zelda and never wanted the series in the first place. The first game he made by himself he turned into ugly cel shaded crap that destroyed Hyrule and ends with a character telling you to move on from it. When he got the series back after higher ups slapped him about and got him to make TP he made a game that replaced OoT as the start of the series and started retconning all the lore Koizumi had written, the other Miyamoto protege who got a better promotion, a bigger series and even built his own team for him in Tokyo. Now for the cherry on top he brought in some furry from Capcom to start fucking with the series more.I say this as somebody who had fun with BoTW/ToTK.
>>725945538Ironic considering prime 4 is the closest metroid has gotten to Alien

>>725961207tl:drnew bad, old goodmetroid got marvel tier writing now
>>725961178I'm not sure how this answers my question.
>>725959846I honestly don't hate Prime 3's NPCs now that I think about it because they serve their purpose and don't overstay their welcome really. (Except one NPC who is a glorified hint system and I fucking hate them). You have the big set pieces in the beginning that wows the game journos then the rest of the game is standard Prime 1/2 lone wolf solitude with the very rare encounter with GF faceless grunts. Generally the game focuses on Samus's phazon corruption, the PED, and the source of the corruption in general than NPCs at all. Even in the end Samus goes to Phaaze by herself and deals with the problem by herself.Prime 4 seems to want to not just have NPCs, but to have Samus directly interact with them and work together with them throughout the whole game. I'm not really a big fan of this, I like Samus being a lone wolf. I like not needing to interact with NPCs and Samus having a generally lonely adventure. In 3 this is still a thing because again it ultimately comes down to samus to take down her own allies by herself, she rarely "fights" with anyone in the same room. Also Mcfuckface just has really bad and annoying dialogue. Best case scenario they pull a Prime 3 (2) but I can't be certain.>>725960850I thought prime threads were infested by AC fag?>>725961178I don't get sales fagging, Prime 2 is generally considered to be the best Prime game yet it sold the least out of the three. Dread is extremely decisive and rarely do I see honest opinions saying it's the best metroid of all time, yet it's the top selling metroid game.

>>725961736>new good old badKill all zoomers
>>725961207Here’s a clear summary of the main points from the 4chan /v/ thread you’re viewing: Main Themes in the DiscussionFrustration with Metroid Prime 4 Many posters are upset about the introduction of a quirky, chatty NPC (often compared to Marvel-style humor or Borderlands quips). They feel this undermines Metroid’s traditional tone of eerie isolation and seriousness.Tone vs. TraditionMetroid has historically emphasized loneliness, exploration, and oppressive atmosphere.Fans argue that constant chatter and handholding tutorials clash with this identity.Comparisons are made to Other M (criticized for misguided writing) and Prime 3 (seen as weaker due to NPCs).Culture War Accusations Some posters dismiss criticism as “culture war doomposting,” while others insist the issue is tonal incompetence, not politics. This leads to heated exchanges accusing each other of being “tourists,” “grifters,” or “tendie fanboys.”Comparisons to Other GamesHollow Knight is cited as a series where quirky NPCs fit naturally, unlike Metroid.Pikmin 4 and God of War Ragnarok are mentioned as examples of games with excessive NPC chatter.Retro Studios is criticized for chasing trends and “Marvel quips,” with some saying they’ve been declining since Donkey Kong Returns.Community DynamicsPosters lament that Metroid threads are no longer “comfy” and have been toxic for years.Some admit they’ll still buy the game regardless, while others cancel preorders in protest.A recurring theme: one bad character can dominate discourse and overshadow the rest of the game. Key TakeawaysThe controversy centers on Metroid Prime 4’s tone shift toward mainstream humor and accessibility.Longtime fans feel this betrays the franchise’s Alien-inspired roots of isolation and dread.The debate is polarized: some see it as harmless fun, others as a death knell for the series’ identity.The thread itself reflects broader /v/ culture—mixing genuine critique, trolling, and meme posting.
>>725961687>literally deranged schizoid headcannon bullshitBecause it isn't that.
It amazes me how hypocritical OoTsnoys are. They seethes for months over the bike despite the fact that it blatantly has the same role as Hyrule Field, if anything. BoTW Derangement Syndrome is something else.
>>725961476>I don't get sales fagging, Prime 2 is generally considered to be the best Prime game yet it sold the least out of the three. Dread is extremely decisive and rarely do I see honest opinions saying it's the best metroid of all time, yet it's the top selling metroid game.Because Metroid got shelved for almost two decades (and was on a pretty long hiatus before that), and as far as anyone can tell the main reason for it is "they tend to sell like shit."Super Metroid, now considered by many to be one the greatest games ever made, lost Nintendo so much money that it was a big reason why SF2 got killed. Metroid Prime was THE best selling Metroid game until fucking Dread, and Nintendo did a bit better then breaking even on it.
>>725961847Seethe harder, snoy.
>>725961476>I thought prime threads were infested by AC fag?If you see somebody randomly bring up Er*c in a thread it is 9/10 Er*c himself. That jumps to 100% of the time if he starts calling people OoTsnoys.
We're never getting a game like Prime 1 or 2 and we're just gonna have to deal with that.
>>725961878it's some insane /v/ funposter that personally thinks he and he alone has the power to read Aonuma's mind and know all his deepest and darkest thoughts.

>>725962294its more like calling everything Marvel quips when "nerdy/annoying science based guy in a life threatening situation" has been in video games since at least 1998.
>>725961872too long.20 words or less
>>725944786>bunch of boomer manchildren whining about old good, new badthis is not a game for you unc, go play battlefield
>>725962438But not in Metroid.Stupid fucking tranny.
what kind of metroid game would you want? i kind want a game where you can do bounty hunting stuff but also hang out at bars
>>725962354Snoys have spent the last like, 8 fucking years or whatever crying about BoTW and how it's really a terrible game all along because it was the main reason why Switch's launch was fucking insane, and then it never really slowed down momentum until the Switch 2 was revealed.
>>725962494notice how nothing in this post has to do with explaining why this is Marvel quip shit or whatever you are trying to deflect from now.
>>725962494You're trying too hard, snoy
>>725958449imagine the poor speedrunners, the game starts with a fucking escort quest. i think you can turn all dialogue off but so maybe they won't go completely insane.
>>725962438Show me a character in 1998 that talks like him.
>>725962354No? Snoys love OoT because it has more moviegame shit like auto-jumping and long unskippable cutscenes
>>725962294Thanks for proving me right. You trannies think everything is Marvel, especially things that have existed for decades/centuries.
Shut up about Marvel. It's not even really 'Marvel'.Comedic relief characters just do not belong in Metroid.It's simply just not a game franchise where quips and comedic relief fits.
>>725962625The current trend is associated with the kind of quip John Whedon is known for ever since Buffy(1997 btw) but it's heavily associated now with recent Marvel Studio movies, especially those Whedon himself directed.
>>725962739Well that just happened
>>725962712
>>725957492Hate is a strong word but I found BotW to be very underwhelming. It's like a 7/10 in a series that used to be 10/10 to me. But at least i beat BotW unlike Skyward Sword.
Ready to apologize?
>>725962734>no responseI accept your concession
>>725962791I hate gen x so much its unreal
>>725962805Indeed it did. I hope nobody who hates that eagerly awaited 18 years for this game.
>>725962494>But not in Metroid.Prime 2Prime 3Other M
>>725962809Good character, doesn't count.
>>725962941>Prime 2did you even play it?
>>725962809Even Otacon pissing himself was less embarrassing then the Retro employee self insert bitching about Phil from the office.
Wouldn't it be funny if Sylux had been that nerd? But honestly I doubt it since we saw his face.
>>725962809otakon wasn't a quip machine, he was a weeb.
>>725962418tucks you into bed and gives you a kiss on the forehead and a warm glass of milk :)
>>725962848>no answerI accept your concession.
>ACfag pissing himself over one chararter that will fuck off from most of the gameTypical
>>725963025Other M was released 5 years before he was born so he hasn't played any of them.
>>725962809Metal Gear Solid is movieshit, so that doesn't really help. Never understood the dicksucking kojima gets here.
>>725963025Yes, the trooper logs and pirate logs have a bunch of Marvel quips in them.
>>725943870Sony writers, unironically. Retro hired a bunch of people from Naughty Dog and Santa Monica to work on this game
>>725963104You didn't ask a question.
>>725963129And the rest of the obnoxious quirky reddit chungus NPCs?
>>725951484>>725951676It's unironically not kids, it's older normalfag dad-gamers who have bad attention spans. Look at all of the people who are currently getting filtered by Air Riders because it's "too fast" and has "too intense gameplay", they need their hand held because they're too lazy to put effort into anything anymore.Also speaking of Sakurai games, Sakurai was able to do this type of quippy chattering in Kid Icarus and no one minded that because it fit the tone and didn't stop the gameplay for it. Also the jokes were just better.
>>725963158Movie shit on new 3D hardware, what do you mean you don't 'get it'?
>>725962809MGS has characters playing off each other in interesting ways, it's not one-sided self-insert quipping like this abomination in metroid.
>>725963243Nigga what other NPCs. We literally only have this singlar NPC
>>725963129bold of you to have faith that the other characters aren't also bad.
>>725962809Don't be a retard, Otacon was played-straight pathetic through and through, there was no plucky bravado.
>>725963301>he hasn't seen the rest of the trailersDid you assume Myles here was the only NPC?
>>725927493This happens to every series, brother
>>725962970My wife
>>725963301>he doesn't know
>>725963301>Nintendo hasn't told its interns that they released a full 7 minute trailer where they talk about all the federation troops you will meetThat is a weird choice but ok.
>>725956705>Tanabe's shitty tingle games flop, so he turns paper mario into them>Tanabe's shitty federation game flopped, so he turned actual prime into itI'm starting to notice a trend
>>725963374>>725963451>>725963453Concession accepted.
>>725963325The rest will be generic gruff marines barking military protocols at you, which is just another flavor of bad.
>>725963416
>>725960385>this character would fit better in zeldaMetroidfags can keep him
>>725963183>Marvel quip>text logsLMAOThe quippiest thing the troopers had was "samus is a myth" or "samus wouldn't be standing here doing jack shit" and those aren't even quips, just mild humor. It's not even in your face.The pirates don't even have anything like that.There isn't a single line in 2 that is on the same level as "It's about to get nerdy up in here."In 3, the quipiest thing in the game is "Hey, relax! We're the good guys! Justice will prevail and all that stuff... right, Samus?" from Rundas. Other M doesn't even deserve a mention.
>>725963498>warn /v/ that Tanabe was saying he will do exactly this every time he has talked about Metroid since before Federation Force>Miyamoto Derangement Syndrome fags are too busy trying to blame Paper Mario on Miyamoto instead of Tanbabe and drowns out any actual discussion I'd say I was happy to finally be vindicated and those faggots got what they deserved but I really wanted to be wrong.
>>725963523>>725963602Samus is a fucking badass bounty hunter not a generic basic bitch wife. Fuck you
>>725963602>>725963523>disgusting human samus with disgusting fleshEwww, keep it the feck away from my metroid.
>>725963787
>>725963536We already saw the girl fanboying over Samus and being just as shitty
>>725963251jesus christ they are speaking like 65 year old boomers that get mesmerized by products in the grocery store and lose all sense of space and time. theyre not even that old. like 32 years old and shit. will i be like this in 4 years as a 28 year old?
>>725963787Yikes! Geez, err things are getting really problematic in here.
>>725963723>there were marvel quips in other games but that doesn't fit my worldview and i really have to hate this one particular game so i'm ignoring you
>>725964249NTA, but maybe games shouldn't have quips at all. Maybe dialogue in video games is cancerous snoy shit that should be gotten rid of?
>>725964249Those aren't fucking marvel quips. You don't know what a fucking quip is if those are marvel quips to you.
>>725963886What's wrong with the NPCs doing what we always do with Samus?
>>725963886girl power!!
>>725964309You're trying way too hard, child, and it's incredibly obvious.
>>725964342Because it IS cringe when we do it.It was cringe in DOOM and it's still cringe in Metroid.
>>725963783>Everyone blames Sakamoto for Metroid's problems (which is fair in Other M's case)>He course corrects and has Samus go back to being stoic in SR and Dread, seems to genuinely listen to the fan opinion (even if you dislike the direction of SR and Dread, they're 100% the way they are because of fan reaction)>Tanabe CONSISTENTLY ignores fan opinion when it comes to Paper Mario, even making fun of people who wanted partners back in Origami King>Probably going to once again ignore fan opinion with PrimePlease god let this faggot get demoted before he ruins more series I used to love. At least Sakamoto's probably working on a new 2D Metroid if he isn't working on the next Famicom Detective Club, though I think he was grooming a female writer to take over that series for him for future games
>>725964342You have never played a Metroid game in your life.
This reminds me of years ago in the drought when everyone was talking about the possibility of a GFed side game and thinking of the guys from the intro of prime 2.
>>725964427Not everyone loves Uncharted, snoy.
>>725964342Some fanservice jerking off Samus like the one log from prime 2 is fine.A whole character centered around it is fucking annoying.
>>725963356I mean, as far as I can tell Myles is played as pretty pathetic as well.
>>725961687BotW mindbroke this board beyond repair, and the only way Ocarinafags can cope with it selling so well is writing autistic and elaborate fanfiction about how Aonuma and his hooligan sidekick Fujiyabashi are the Great Satan and that they HATE the series they clearly love working on and twirl their mustaches as they find new and elaborate ways to RUIN IT FOREVER.
>>725965087>OcarinafagsJust call them snoys. After 8 years, I'm tired of sugarcoating it.
>>725962809No, he's DIFFERENT b-because h-he likes anime, just l-like me!
>>725965160>if someone likes OOT, they're a snoyWhat is wrong with you?
>eric finally gets a legitimate complaint about a Nintendo game that everybody will agree with him on>still goes into every thread crying about BoTW and calling everybody OoTsnoys
>>725965359>legitimate complaintYou aren't fooling anyone, Eric.
>>725965359>eric finally gets a legitimate complaint about a Nintendo game that everybody will agree with him onLOLEveryone is defending Myles chungus and calling people snoys for not worshipping him. Get your head out of your switch, fanboy.
>>725965359>ACfag seething at being called "OoTsnoys" againThe fact that a single term makes you seethe so hard only makes us want to use it more. It really exposes you.
Let us watch as Tendies sink further into madness.
>>725965050Myles is "oh hey look at that big killy alien thing with the teeth and the claws and the guess we're pretty dead huh?" self-aware pathetic.
>>725965681>>725965359>t. seething snoy
Metroid Prime was never good
>>725965501>majority of /v/ shitting on it>majority of reddit shitting on it>majority of X shitting on it>majority of youtubers and the comments shitting on it>majority of previews shitting on it>general public still don't know what Metroid isOnly person defending this is you.
>>725965830*GameCube was never goodPrime 4 is going to fix things, if anything
>>725962456I've never played an FPS, they suck, so do mobas, roguelites, shmups, and sony games
>>725965884>>majority of /v/ shitting on itSnoys will never represent /v/. Hell, you never did represent us.
>>725963886The girl is cute though so it's ok
>>725925387I want to know what the fuck the Redditors who wrote this game think. they surely know society is sick of MCU tier writing right? why the fuck do they keep shoving it into every fucking movie/show/game then???
>>725965884>majority of /v/ shitting on it>majority of reddit shitting on it>majority of X shitting on it>majority of youtubers and the comments shitting on it>majority of previews shitting on itYou lie with such conviction, it would be admirable if you weren't so abominable.
>>725952304nigger, stop saying like
>>725965884The most delusional snoy fantasy I've read in awhile.
>breaks /v/
>>725965957good taste anon. sony games were good on psx and ps2 though.
>>725965973>>725966328>>725966585Remind me again how much your precious marvel movies are doing at the box office? How long did Concord stay online for? Nobody puts up with this shit anymore.
>>725936696so we must accept slop for you not to call us whiners? ok then, explain why pokefans buying and enjoying za is wrong? dumbass faggot
>>725953925Why would it show Brie Larson's face? What does some actor have anything to do with Metroid?
OoTfags are a literal cult.
>>725963183post them then faggot
>>725966936Considering quippy movieshit like Xenoblade and TOTK and BOTW regularly sell millions, I'd say Marvel is alive and well.
>>725962016also dread released on switch at its apex. any first party game sells like hotcakes there
>>725922083Here's what'll happen.>Game release, is either good in spite of the shitty NPCs and desert, or shit all the way through>Regardless, and the same people that hate on every new release will shitpost about it for a few weeks>Some new game will start getting hyped up>They'll move on>Then we'll only have our normal amount of schizos
>>725924863It would be fine if they weren't trying to be comedic.
>Everyone hated Samus talking so much that Dread made her ass mute outside of speaking birdanese in one scene>Metroid 4 gives her a group of NPCs to hang out with despite thisIf She stands around like an autist and never verbally responds to anyone all will be forgiven
>>725963787Samus is a kind hearted girl and you can't tell me otherwise.
>>725968127she said like one thing in dread and it was in chozo-eze anyway, literally nobody cared about that.
>>725968182Disgusting.
>>725968284I know anon, I mentioned that. In fact most people liked that scene because Chozos are cool.
>>725968394her suit is literally magical girl BS.
Cubies on suicide watch
>>725968565>girlTHAT'S THE PROBLEM.
>>725962809Otacon doesn't really "quip" outside of the Japanese Animes line. If anything he spends the whole game being kinda sad, especially when Sniper Wolf dies
>>725968127>If She stands around like an autist and never verbally responds to anyone all will be forgivenSo far that's exactly how she treats Myles. I get the impression his extreme annoyance is played up throughout the game where both the player and Samus absolutely can't stand him until he sacrifices himself in a redeeming moment or gets brutally murdered by Sylux
>>725967342>Prime 4 defenders hate Nintendo gamesIt all makes sense now.
>>725969198I didn't list any games. Just cinematic experiences.
you know the saddest part about the MCU quip shit? it only started after the disney buy out.
>>725933623Do you have pre-typed astroturf responses and you just miss picked it this time?
>>725968710I feel like you are fundmentally misunderstanding who Samus is.She's a Hero. In fact, she is THE Hero. At full strength, she is an unstoppable Sword of Justice, ready to do whatever it takes to defend the innocent. When she innevitable gets shocked/drained/whatever and is her suit is set back to factory standard? She still goes on unwavering, fighting as hard as she can to make sure Justice is Served.She's not grim dark, she's not some stoic hardass, she's Raw Power Incarnate, and is always willing to do what's right.
>>725970190>she's a hero>has done absolutely nothing to stop the corrupt federation that's tried to kill her three times over
>>725965702the first time we see Myles, he basically craps his pants at the first sight of hostile life and drops his tiny gun.
>>725970298Nintendo dropped the Corrupt Fed shit due to the backlash from Other M
>>725970382So that means they retconned Fusion and Dread, since the Fed's incompetence nearly got her killed twice over?
>>725970486What Fed incompetence was in Dread? EMMI's? That really wasn't their fault that they got hacked.
>>725970568That's their fault for outsourcing to a corporation whose IT department is full of space jeets.
>>725970486That was a rogue faction within the federation in Fusion
>>725971151A rogue faction that's never spoken of again, and we never have any confirmation that Samus did anything to stop them.
Metroid used to be niche
>>725922083what is a normal Metroid thread? eating shit and pretending it tastes good?
>>725935252There is zero difference between redditlands and whatever that fags name is kys
the SQUAD
>>725971650and you BASTARDS wanted it to get sooooo much coverage this past year, didn't you? you didn't deserve 2d kino.
>>725971706A normal metroid thread is gloating about sales and talking about the metacritic score so you can btfo the snoys. The famitsu threads are a good look into what metroid fans consider to be good discussion.
>>725971772fandoms rarely deserve good sequels.
>>725945492>it hurt itself in its confusion
>>725935247Everyone online was seething about it there were game journalists telling people to pirate it and giving guides on how. It’s quite similar to now where they are now acting like millennial writing characters are bad despite eating up worse and defending slop like the outer worlds
Prime 4 will be great and vee will shit itself in anger
This entire thread only proves this image correct.
>>725971980You said the same about Metroid Other M. No matter how much Nintendo fans defend that game, it's still bad.
>>725971876i just find it especially funny with a usually chill fandom like metroid, this game coming back from dev hell is what made them so uppity
>>725972173It should have stayed in dev hell and fans should learn how to mod Prime 1 instead of asking blue haired feminists to make sequels.
I'm Eric.Prime 4 will sell zero, ZERO copies by my hand. I am everywhere and anywhere.You lost.
Spam this everywhere. Get the message out.
sex
>>725922083Prime 1 is literally the only good Prime game and even then it's let down HARD by the Chozo Artifact hunt at the end of the game.Prime 2 was 'okay', Prime 3 was shit and Hunters was only neat because it was ambitious for a DS game.I never understood the reverence this series got and it's of no surprise that Prime 4 doesn't look that good beyond the environmental design admittedly looking fantastic.
>>725972774Facts.
>>725972774Try posting an opinion you actually believe in, instead of falseflagging out of fear of disagreement you pathetic third worlder.
can someone post the shot of the flashback of samus lending a hand to that one soldier
>>725971262Besides shutting down their operation by blowing it the fuck up?
>>725972774
500 posts.
>>725975095Did she personally execute every single person responsible? Did she kill Fed high command for allowing this to happen in the first place?If the head of the CIA was a corrupt asshole who put the country at risk, the president would be responsible for everything he did.
>>725975343>Zero Mission in CI will rip your spine out and play it like a xylophone.
>>725977325You like the inferior game
