Metroid Prime 4 is my watershed moment when it comes to standing up for what I enjoy and not being salty over people criticizing me for liking something they don't.I ACTUALLY don't seem to give a shit for once. I'm having fun, they're not, and for whatever reason them telling me I'm fucking stupid for being so oblivious to crippling flaws I feel mostly unaffected. Normally I get hyper-defensive when this happens.What changed?
>>727595745You would have to argue on subjective grounds about a subjective topicSubjectively miles sucks and the desert sucks
looks woke
>>727595794Myles isn't a GOOD addition but he's also not something that is so pervasive that it absolutely kills your engagement with the game, like I was being geared up to expect. I've been mostly neutral to his presence and I understand what they were trying to go for with his character (being a character who likes staying busy and being talkative to avoid dwelling on stressful situations).
>>727595745>"I ACTUALLY don't seem to give a shit for once">makes a thread, yelling about how much he doesn't give a shit.Lol, lmfao
>>727595745Sunk cost fallacy.
>>727595975Only because I'm surprised that I don't feel the compulsion to tearfully tell people to fuck off because I actually didn't mind something they said was insufferable.
>>727595745You wasted 70 dollars on this and are trying to cope now.
>>727596090Then why was my experience with Breath of the Wild not nearly so forgiving, faggot? Could it be because I'm actually engaged with what I've played so far? Surely not.
Are the NPC's as bad as they look?MP3 was unplayable for me because of them.
>>727595745We've just reached a saturation point where bitching about a game is no longer inherently entertaining. A lot of the youtube nerd rant styled videos that inspired this content were from people that played the shitty game to completion as a child and had piles of trivia to criticize and mock. the format has decayed so much partially because nobody has had the time with new games like Beyond to even begin analyzing it, Its all just low effort bait posts.
>>727595745At some point you just stop caring. I've seen so many people with horrendous taste, and I had my taste be called horrendous in turn, that you just grow numb to it.Yes, I do think Tolstoy is a hack. Yes, I do think Pynchon is a genius and one of the best writers to ever live. Yes, I do think a niche Japanese RPGMaker porn game is one of the best games ever made. And there's nothing you can do about it.
>>727595745Everyone (including you) is going to be even harsher on the game after some time passes. The cope right now is that at least the "normal" metroid prime parts are good, but they only seem so because everything else they tacked on is so utterly atrocious that the parts where youre alone and not on the bike seem amazing by comparison, but the game is by FAR the most linear metroid game ever made, has the woret level design in the series, the worst enemy variety by many magnitudes, .and there is genuinely absolutely nothing of substance going on in the boring badly designed straight line areasOnce the coping phase has fully passed and everyone is looking back on the game as a whole, people will realize that everyone is actually being far MORE kind than they should be to the game right now.
>>727595745>What changed?Nothing. You make this same post every time Nintendo has killed a franchise in recent memory.
>>727595745You've accepted that the Nintendo you grew up with is dead and have reflexively lowered your standards to inoculate yourself from disappointment.
>>727597370I feel like this game being shit would have said the Retro Studios I grew up with is dead, not Nintendo.
You realize only poor brown people are the ones complaining because they can't pirate games anymore and you're tired of all the retarded anti nintendo threads being spammed by them
>>727595745This is me but for Starfield, I got 300 hours in that game and still have plenty to do.
>>727597459Retro Studios IS Nintendo, dipshit. You don't get the MUH OUTSIDE DEVELOPER bailout like you do with Pokémon, nice try. Especially not when Nintendo personnel still produce and supervise their games.
>>727597773Retro Studios still had their own style that made them a pillar among Nintendo's devs.I even enjoy Metroid Prime 3 a lot (in some ways more than 2 - to the point they draw about equal on pros and cons for me).
I was expecting Myles to be as annoying as GoW's Atreus. But while Myles is a much more pathetic of a character, he doesn't actually backseat as egregiously as Atreus which is what I expected. The reviews kind of made it seem like Myles's backseating was next level. But now I am kind of just confused why GoW and Horizon weren't lambasted for their backseating.
>>727595745based Myles enjoyer
>>727601612I didn't say I like the guy, I just don't see what the fuss is about. He exists, he says some stuff, it's not like he doesn't shut up and is constantly unfunny. He's...a desk jockey who's stuck in a situation he has no training for and is trying to be useful and interested in the world he's on to not be overwhelmed by the reality of the situation. His talkativeness and cringy lines are supposed to be seen as his coping mechanism to contrast Samus' stoicism at having seen it all in her travels.
>>727599539I havent played Prime 4, but I heard that the game kinda "detects" if the player is just spinning their wheels/not going in the right direction and then has Myles chip in and gives you hints on what to do next (which is similar to something they added in Prime 1 Remaster). This might explain why there's been so many different takes on how much the game handholds the player.It's very possible that the better you play this game, the less annoying and intrusive Myles is.
>>727597536the switch 1 version can be played on emulators, you can't fall back on the switch 2 exclusive excuse.
>>727595929>I understand what they were trying to go for with his character (being a character who likes staying busy and being talkative to avoid dwelling on stressful situations)Okay but why did they think we needed that in a Metroid game?
>>727601834>I didn't say I like the guyoh, well then I don't care. People are going to hate what you like when it sucks.
>>727599539>But now I am kind of just confused why GoW and Horizon weren't lambasted for their backseating.Because they're movie games so journalists, and some players, don't care as much about the backseating because it advances the story quicker which is what they care about the most. In Metroid Prime games you want less story segments so being pushed towards them is worse.
>>727595745I think your taste is bad.
I can think of another annoying Miles in a highly anticipated sequel that doesn't get nearly as much grief but smegasnoys have planted their feet on this one
>>727595745I'm enjoying the moment, but my post game reflection, and attempts at replaying are gonna make me far more critical. I see ALOT of the major issues here, but despite this i AM enjoying my first run.MY major concern is that of story, where even if the game has faults everywhere else, ill be leaving it wanting empty and angry that they didn't do better and more.
>>727596029Anon, that's exactly what you're doing in this thread.
>>727602062They didn't, I don't necessarily think the decision to include him was a good one but it's also not something that actively detracts from the experience of playing the game.
"I actually really don't care what you think, that's why I made a thread to tell you"You're a massive fag
>>727595745You must be 18 years old to use this site.
>>727595745You sound like a pathetic man child.
>>727595745Because the unhinged Nintendo derangement spam all year has rendered these fools utterly impotent. 99.99% of criticism is from people who haven't even touched the game and is extremely histrionic. Look at this anon >>727596407 speaking confidently incorrectly. Prime 3 is several magnitudes more linear than 4 and has a far more restrictive tutorial segment that lasts longer than 4's.
>>727603778the concern about story is that it's there really in any capacity beyond window dressing as an excuse to have a quest. same goes for anything that goes on narratively in this.the dead set linearity, non interconnected world and the pacing and game speed of continental drift is what kills this for any other playthrough beyond the first.I'm also enjoying it, the presentation and vibes are seriously strong, but yeah, this won't outlast the initial playthrough.i'll give it like a 6.5 or 7/10
>>727605193Prime 3 doesn't waste your time by making you ram into crystals in a massively oversized desert and also has more than five sizable sub-areas.
>>727599539They are. Regularly.
>>727595745Most normal people that enjoy the game will simply enjoy it and move on and most normal people that don't like it will say "oh, I don't like what they did" and move on. The problem is that the internet is purely fueled by ragebait and cynicism, which leads to hyper defensive autists to come out at full force, so most discussion now is either "OHNONONO SISSIES THE GAME IS REDDIT GARBAGE METROID IS DEAD" or "NO IT'S AMAZING AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AT ALL, I'M GOING TO BUY 50 COPIES TO PROVE YOU WRONG".
>>727605945>They are. Regularly.By main stream game critics?
>>727606365Do you think those people have any standards like us?
in the good ending you can see her face
>>727595745
>>727595745i don't know how you put up with a bunch of retard characters telling you what to do or suggesting what to do every 10 seconds because nintendo thinks you're a fucking retard who needs this guidance every second or you might think for yourself and do something else. trash game.
>>727595745You grew up
>>727603778Prime games are never fun to replay
>>727606286>OHNONONO SISSIES THE GAME IS REDDIT GARBAGE METROID IS DEADthis but unironically
>>727595745>I ACTUALLY don't seem to give a shit for once. I'm having fun, they're notLooks like someone is having a blast
>>727606895Do you use this phrase to mock anyone who is having fun with anything? I've seen it used more and more lately, mocking anyone who states they're enjoying a game.
>>727607670Looks like someone stopped having a blast
>>727607670>IM HAVING FUN, LOOK HOW MUCH FUN IM HAVING!!!so insecure.
>>727607727>>727607771Eric, go back to playing Concord... oh wait :)
Which emulator works?

I haven't played my copy yet partly because I'm waiting for the internet's seething over the game to cool down. I don't want that in the back of my mind as I play it. That said I'm actually looking forward to saving all the other marines, kinda like Halo. Miles will always be funny to me because he's a caricature of you many of you anons.
>>727595745Bro you're clearly seething from anger.
>>727608374Woops fucked that last sentence, now I'm a jeet.
>>727608374>Miles will always be funny to me because he's a caricature of you many of you anons.he's literally Eric
>>727608374>Miles will always be funny to me because he's a caricature of you many of you anons.Same (you're Miles btw)
>>727608569Based tbqhdesu. Big win.
>>727595745Besides the addition of voice acting, I do not see how his dialog and explanation of current objectives (not giving away puzzles, I'm not playing on easy mode so I'm not sure if that's even actually a thing, but it's at least not in normal.) is any different than Adam in Fussion telling you the general area to head next.
>>727595745>adding a yellow paint man made anon have some kind of spiritual awakeningSociety is fucked.
>>727608696kek>>727608681(You)
>>727602062Probably because they wanted to do a James Cameron's Aliens and the overarching theme is loss/guilt and how we process it. Myles is the coward who isn't willing to face his struggles directly. Sylux is filled with rage and hate because he won't accept responsibility, etc.
Does Samus have sex.
>>727609613She probably doesn't even know what sex IS.
This game is the picture perfect example of"Not every game needs to be open world"The pointless desert dividing the areas is by far the worst thing about it. If they removed the desert, took each biome area, some of the shrine puzzles from the desert, integrated them all together, then it would be a good game (pretty much just Prime 1 except even Prime 1 had shit like Crashed Frigate to make it more interesting). The devolution of Prime 1 to this is a massive indicator that modern game devs have no idea how to make good worlds anymore. They're probably only taught to ever make a big Ubisoft open world when they're studying game design. Blame BotW and by extension Elden Ring.
>Sylux's backstory is that he's a fucking LOSER KEKAROO
>>727595745>what changed?you grew a pair and stood by your own opinion. good on you.
I think the criticisms given are valid but are being portrayed as a much bigger part of the game than they are, at least for where I am in the game so far. I only just got out of Volt Forge and into the desert, found my way to the frozen area. I have only met Myles and he sucks but he has chimed in all of maybe 2-3 times in the 3-4 hours since I left him in Green Fury. The worst of him is the escort mission and him chattering much more in the end of green fury, and then the infamous 'check your map' webm, but other than that 95% of my gameplay has been getting to enjoy traditional Prime gameplay in cool environs. I haven't explored or traversed enough of the desert yet to be too critical of it, I stopped by a few spots of interest but otherwise went to the next area, maybe it'll get obnoxious later as I have to keep going through it and maybe future NPC's in the squad will be worse but right now I think an 8/10 is completely fair to the game. It is a good, competent, fun game with some bad elements tacked on.
>>727595745Because when you start seeing people act like Metroid has never had dialogue/NPCs or even pretend that Other M was actually not that bad you quickly realize you are conversing with the circus.
>>727604904Does it not significantly impact the atmosphere?
>>727606286>Most normal people that enjoy the game will simply enjoy it and move on and most normal people that don't like it will say "oh, I don't like what they did" and move on.yeah everyone normal will just play the game and not share their opinions on platforms made to talk about videogames. you're right, i should just blindly pay for the new game and not share my thoughts about it so i can be normal.or i can just notice that the game is aggressively tutorialized and linear, has botw elements hodgepodged in, talks your ear off thereby ruining the immersion, has parts of the ost paywalled and is, at best, a mediocre retread (in part) of what made the original prime so good, tell other people about it and then not waste my hard earned money
>>727609613there's a non 0 chance that Samus already had sex with Sylux but he doesn't know that because barely anyone in the galaxy knows who Samus Aran really is or looks like under the Varia Suit.Fuck he probably did and was probably a quickshot given his luck.
>>727607670it's a line that is used so universally among shills that people adopted it as a dogwhistle to call out viral marketing.>having a blast>why are we supposed to hate this>a return to form>you'll buy it anywayshit like that
Did this game really expose the people that play on easy because the crew only talks alot to you if you play on easy on normal they barely talk to you?
>turn into morph ball>shit out a floating psychic orb>turn into normal form to grab it and throw it at somethingDid a jeet came up with this?
>>727597459Nintendo owns Retro, Nintendo published the game, and Tanabe was the executive producer. They specifically axed the original version that Bamco was developing to bring it back under Nintendo's full control. So no, this game does reflect poorly on Nintendo.
>>727608374>Miles will always be funny to me because he's a caricature of you many of you anons.yes 4chan is known for being synonymous with talkitive, overly social jews. ask your boss to give you some new material
>>727611756wasted opportunity for psychic homing bombs ngl
>>727611791Yeah because lurker losers like you are too shy to post. Blame more of your problems on jews, it just makes you look pathetic.
>>727610048>Blame BotW and by extension Elden Ring.Blame GTA3, AssCreed, or Skyrim at the absolute latest. I hate BOTW and Elden Ring too, but they are both symptoms of this rot, not causes of it.
>>727611791so you're saying that you're even more pathetic than a textbook vidya nerd like that human Tails
>>727611682>a return to formThis one pisses me off because it's often used simultaneously with "a breath of fresh air" when both generally can't be true at the same time. And the games they're describing tend to be both a dramatic change to the series' typical form while adopting the same stale Ubisoft open-world formula as everyone else, so they're both lies even in a vacuum.
>>727611953>youre shy and racist!nigger you don't even understand the site youre on. the point is that 4chan is loudly known for racism. no one here is too shy to post, there is a floating anti-semitic thread on at least seven boards. again, get your script updated
>>727612310Nigger I hate jews too. But you're a textbook case of "everyone I don't like is a jew". Fuck off back to your larp group.
>>727595745What do we think of Samus' looks?
>>727597773but bananza and kirby are riders are great. And MP4 is meh. Its not great but its kinda fun to see samus again so whatever. They will release more metroid at some point and lets see how that turns out. Dread was very good, too.I dont know, I still like their stuff a lot. And surely retro will backpedal like crazy for the next project. I doubt nintendo will shut them or anything. Theyll probably keep them on a tighter leash again. Plus MP4 at least showcases that there are fucks at retro that know how to make a good looking game. Everyone keeps forgetting its a switch 1 game, but thats the version i bought and im honestly impressed at how it all looks.Just send sakamoto down there for the next one.
>>727595745Are you underage? THIS is the first time you've dealt with liking shit other people dont?>>727596029This sounds more like weird drama queen behavor. You should ALSO be able to deal with people thinking you're a complete shill/moron/loser with grace as well. >>727596402If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers.
>>727612684Bonanaza isn't great and shares a lot of problems with prime 4
>>727612459>look i can fit inyoure missing the point again because you are obviously an out of touch shill. the point is that your angle of trying to make miles "fi, halo-style but even more intrusive" mackwhatever more relatable by trying to compare him to random anons falls hilariously short and outs you as a marketer because you severely misunderstand the profile of people here (4chan people are nerds, right? try to make him relatable). almost like youre some paid-by-the-gig drone attempting to forge consensus for a few cents a post operating out of a standard issue playbook (ive heard the "he's like a 4channeler!" line probably two dozen times now).
>>727612805now you're trying too hard to fit in. Bananza is easily one of the better games made as a whole in this industry.
>>727612843Yeah man and a hardcore group of oldfags on 4chan TOTALLY represent true gamers. Get fucked old man.
>>727611557>has botw elements hodgepodgedThe "shrines" are about one of the few novelties that work in MP4. Way better than they do in botw actually. Precisely because there are just a few but also because there's next to no loading time when entering them, so they dont feel detached, and also because the rewards are cool.You need to pay more attention watching the streamer next time, if you already decided that you wont play this game you are critixising so knowingly.
>>727611557Normal people don't type like that
>>727595745Why you're posting this on 4chan lolJust play it and whatever
>>727612805Bananza is like the opposite of MP4.
>>727612310>4chan is loudly known for racismWe used to just say obscenities to keep normalfags out. And then your kind got too cozy on /b/.
>>727612957any native to this site would have called me "boomer". cute try tho
>>727613181We weren't using boomer back in 08, newfag.

>>727613181I've been browsing since 2008 I just communicate like a functioning human being. Learn to socialize loser. I don't need to gatekeep like you think you need to.
>>727596156Jfc, there hasnt been a>le isolatedMetroid game since prime 1. There is more metroid games with dialouge and npc chatter than metroid games that dont anymore. Even your babies, fusion, and dread have this shit. You just see a potentiol basedjak moment and your have a autistic fit. Fuck you niggers and everyone else that thinks like you. Arguably just as bad as the millenial wrutten character. Myles doesnt even say that much cringe dialouge like you retards claim he does. All the other npcs that replace him in other biomes are either neutral compared to him or are great.
>>727613214am i an irrelevant boomer who has been here too long or a newfag? you seem to be tripping over yourself
You wouldn't have to make a thread about it if you truly didn't give a shit.

>>727613498>your social skill are bad! see? buy prime 4!the fact that you're pressing this still is telling. what happened to trying to fit in by saying you hated jews earlier?as a bonus, point out where i said i disliked jews as opposed to pointing out that miles is more a quirky mcu style reddit character who absolutely would never resonate with a stereotypical anon
Can anyone who played it actually tell me what's the game like? What do you like and dislike about it?
Nintendo fanboys are the only ones that get actually offended if you criticize their favorite brand. Everyone else is looking for an excuse to shitpost but people are actually mad that Metroid is being made fun of for its shitty Marvel writing.
>>727595745This post reeks of someone seeking validation so the underlying problem is still there.You a like a shitty game.

>>727606714This is flat out untrue, i went through the snowy biom and besides one breifing. Nobody told me what to do, the only time npc chatter happened is maybe 2 times the npc chimed in to tell me goodjob and keep going. Didnt tell me at all how to navigate or solve the puzzles to get to the generator or how to turn it back on.
>>727613876Forgot pic. Jews aren't everything in life you know.
>>727595745Other than the dumb npcs, the game's pretty nice looking. I like the new alien shit, so shiny and curvy.
>>727613876this is either genius trolling or a genuine bot.
>>727613708>what do you likeIt's a Prime game>dislikeThe Federation Force being utterly useless
Even the titlescreen sucks>it doesn't matter nothing matters that isn't the actual game bro why are you criticizing a damn title card lmao*sigh* you just don't get it...
>expected miles to be a pain in the ass>you escort him for 5 minutes and then he sits at base camp and assemble your beams, rarely chiming in on radio, far less than the aurora unitsI actually don't even hate him, the samus fangirl is much worse.But the biggest issue with the game is the dumb desert, hands down, otherwise this game would have been extremely good.Even with these issues i still rate it higher than prime 3, so far all the areas have been great.
>>727611682Saying you enjoy something isn't the same as viral marketing though, which is why it's retarded to levy these phrases to mock anyone who does. Not every anon on /v/ who claims to enjoy something is a marketer and unironic shill.
>>727613967*takes a bow* Win.
>>727614169You haven't played the game. Get to the desert section, hell make sure to call you every ten minutes to tell you what you're missing, and always feed you the next clue to do if you're not doing it.I'm starting flare pool second visit now. Don't down play the genuine critique you fucking faggots.
Is the game running on any Switch emulator yet?
>>727608372Samus is less "bounty hunter" and more like "mercenary". Retro wanted to add actual bounty hunting in Prime 3, but that scared the shit outta Shitendo (A lot of countries look down on Bounty Hunters and even forbid them), so they couldn't.
>>727614404Yes but badly. Dunno which though, I don't keep up with thirdie tools.
>>727614267>call someone who didnt say anything about hating jews a skin head>tell them to go back to "/po/">claim to be an actual nazi right afterokay>>727614257obviously not, but the thing that outed this anon as a shill isn't that he enjoyed something, it was his bumbling and foreign attempt to connect with anons here. it betrayed a corporate understanding of groups of people, and, if you follow the message chain, you may begin to lose certainty it's even a human poster and not a bot or extremely elaborate troll
>New Doom added mechas>new Metroid added mechaWere they made by the same people?
>>727614314I'm ahead of you, i just got the shock beam and im heading back to ice belt.to me hes just the hint system turned into an NPC, not more intrusive than the dumb aurora units, if anything you can just ignore the messages, it goes away unlike the aurora units that you HAD to answer and open the map, otherwise the message would repeat over and over til you did it.

>>727612310Here's where I was gaslit to show my power level. Apparently I don't understand what site I'm on!
>>727595745Dropped it right here stupid fucking battle.>you have to destroy the tentacles within 2 seconds or start overGo fuck yourself
>>727614604I have to open the fucking map in prime 4 and force fed the beeping position on the map as well. Or rather, you get the prompt and the next time you open the map, likely trying to navigate a power up, you get the fucking scene instead. They're both fucking shit hand holding responses and I'm not forgiving prime 3 nor 4 for doing it.
>>727610903>Because when you start seeing people act like Metroid has never had dialogue/NPCs It had these elements, but here's the thing: IT SHOULDN'T HAVE. At no point should Metroid ever have introduced this snoy shit into the series. If you enjoyed the opening text crawl in Super Metroid, you're a snoy. If you enjoyed Fusion or Prime 3, you're a snoy. If you didn't immediately skip every single cutscene in every single game, then you might as well buy a Ps5 and preorder TLOU: the Remake: The remaster part 5.I want no association with disgusting movielovers who think video games need to be hollywood.

>>727614791>IT SHOULDN'T HAVENah, shut the fuck up. I don't mind it when it's needed or apt, but for the main game sections it shouldn't be present for too long. I would actually enjoy seeing Samus interact with others in very short spurts.
>>727595745Is the Switch 1 version worth it? I have no desire to buy a Switch 2, but I also waited too long to not buy Metroid Prime 4.
>>727614965Just pirate it or wait years.
>>727613708Only got to the desert so far>LikesAbsolutely feels like Prime when it tries. The combat, the exploration, scanning, atmosphere, all of it. Collecting power-ups and using them on old areas to get to new power-ups / locations is fun and every area (that is not the desert) is gorgeous and cool to look at and immerse yourself in.Psychic powers are implemented better than I might have thought, they're a little too prevalent (literally EVERYTHING is 'Psychic X' now with Psychic Bombs, Psychic Beams, Psychic Boots etc) but it gets creative with ideas like using them to pick up your own Morph Ball Bombs and put them into out of reach slots, or using the guided beam in combat to hit weakspots and multiple enemies at once. The only companion I've met so far isn't as intrusive as I'd feared, most of the game I've been left well enough alone and I like it that way. I can count only 2-3 times of him messaging you in Volt Forge and the stupid map thing only happens once. And in the desert I only got one message from him while exploring.The bike is cool. It's unnecessary to the game and does feel like an outdated control scheme but it's still cool, I like the tracks and Samus doing slides/jumps and I like how you don't have to worry about parking it you can just summon the bike anywhere.
>>727614939>I don't mind it when it's needed or apt,LOL Imagine "needing" a story just to play a video game. You must enjoy Uncharted and God of Onions.
>>727614965It runs pretty fucking well honestly, the only problem is area to area loading times. Like ice belt for instance has like a 20 second load time elevator, into a 30 second gondola load time. Besides this one thing it runs incredibly well
>>727613708>DislikesMyles (and presumably all the NPC's) ARE a bad addition to the game, I think the game is good so far in spite of them not because of them. Myles is every bit as obnoxious and cringe-worthy as every preview lead me to believe, he's just thankfully not as prevalent as I've seen people say. I hear he chimes in more if the player seems to be spinning their wheels but I have no idea, seems varied in how many people get him.I have not been in the desert long enough to be especially critical of it but I can see how it's a low point, it really is vast / empty with only a few points of interest and feels like a means of padding, it has its novelty of Samus traversing it but I get the feeling that novelty will wear off soon. It also isn't THAT large though so it's not as though it'll be that much of a pain either to go across it or explore it in its entirety but it is a downside all the same.The levels are pretty linear, at least more so than you'd expect of a Metroid with many parts just going in one direction without the ability to get lost. Volt Forge is cool but it's particularly annoying in how twice over it involves going down a series of one-way elevators and corridors, turn on the power, then go back UP the same elevators/corridors that just now have enemies in them. I read this issue persists throughout the game so while I do like these areas they sound too straightforward.While I think they're implemented well enough I do think the game is really heavy handed with the Psychic thing. Lot of upgrades are just Samus' regular upgrades but with 'PSYCHIC' tacked on to it.
>>727614859>y-youre from reddit!i accept your sneedcession. take my advice for the next shift though, youll fly under the radar better
>>727615060It's a sci fi adventure with lore and aliens. I want to see Samus interact with aliens.If you don't like this concept then get the fuck out of my face you broken brain retard.
>>727615031Miles won't do anything else other than chime in every once in a while.There is an area down the line where you have a companion the whole time though, but he fucks off after too.
>>727615092What are you talking about kek. I don't want to "fly under the radar", I'm not as much like you freaks as you think I want to be. I just took issue with being called anything but anti-semitic, which I am.
I just went to some ice shithole after that viola factory, is the entire area closed off until I get whatever heat gun they want me to get and muh open world shit made me waste my time?
Played on "fixed" Eden>audio stutters might be severe>minor graphical glitches>the game crashed on Chrono Tower
>>727595745>I don't care, I'm having a blast!
>>727595745You're the target audience. The original fans aren't anymore. Eventually this will happen to you too kiddo. The Wii era kids are at the end of their catering line now.
>>727615228Correct.
>>727615124>I want loreThen go watch a movie. Damn movielovers wanting everything to be uncharted and TLOU.
>>727615463Fucking cool, and that niggerfaggot Myles just told me to head to the fucking Volcano the moment I left that shithole... This game is a fucking mess
>>727615215and yet you made these posts:>>727613498>>727613154>>727611953also, no one said you weren't anti semetic. my point was that no one except a marketer would try to compare a loudmouth office drone jew with an anon because how prevelent racism is here. but im beginning to suspect im arguing with a bot anyway, and it would make sense that they dont spring for high memory models
>>727615420Despite your point, there will be snoys and "hardcore Metroid fans" trying to say this game is a flop. It's all so tiresome. They catered to a wider market and made a fantastic game that some millenial / gen X journalists didn't like because it wasn't Prime 1. And yet it will more than likely outsell every game in the franchise. Anyway anons don't be afraid to try new things, you'll might end up enjoying it just like OP.
>>727615496Prime, even 4, has a fuck ton of lore. I think I'll just play Metroid prime, bitch boy, k thanks.
>Yesterday ResetEra was sucking off the game and ignoring any criticism >Now that they unlock the open world they're starting to turn on it too LOL
>>727615496Metroid Prime 1 did it right, no real story or dialogue, just lore you could get from scanning. That's how Metroid should be, not sure why Retro understood that for one game only to then throw in stupid cutscenes starting with Prime 2 and getting worse from there.
>>727615663>reading words on a screen = playing a gameYou snoys are hilarious.
>>727615763Imagine being a faggot contrarian
>>727615532Yeah no I'll be honest I'm barely reading your comments because you inserted tribal bullshit into your posts, and that's what I cared about, not whatever argument you thought we were having. Seethe more though. About your point though: Yes he absolutely fucking represents the majority of /v/ you dumbass. Have you been here other than today lately? It's no longer your sweet little niche echo chamber. Normies have been here a loooong fucking time now. Read a newspaper or something *pushes up his Myles glasses*
>>727595745>Think Miles/NPCS might ruin the game>On boot, you can go to options, mute speech and mute/remove subtitlesAnd there goes all my worries for the game. People blew this shit WAY out of proportion.
>>727615808prime 1 has the best score to this day, and is placed as the first best prime by at least half of the people who give enough of a shit to rank them. it's not a contrarian position. i agree with him as well, the emphasis on cinematics and dialog got progressively increased as the series went on. 2 is good but weaker than 1
>>727615785Visual novels and point and clicks have been around far longer than you lil' zoom zoom.
>>727615967>inserted tribal bullshitthe bot cant figure out that i never actually said anything antisemetic.
>>727595745because you know its shit and you have accepted your status as a shit eater. You only get mad when you think the other person is mistaken.
>>727616085My final post. Enjoy being a bitter boomer over Prime 4 of all fucking games lmao
>>727616027>movieshit has been around for a long timeYes, I'm aware.
>>727616241kek nice cubicle desk. don't let the boss keep you too late. keep my advice in mind if you don't wanna work overtime

Any OST posts you guys like that have been posted yet? I really like this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7ixIxoyo7w
>>727616647>disabledmentally?
I think it’s better than prime 3 and maybe prime 2
>>727616693Wouldn't you love it to be so.
>>727595745You made this thread so clearly that isn't true at allthe game is horrific and you're coping badly and need validation, hence this threadlast 3 hrs are the worst experience I have ever had in a game, maybe ever, certainly the last ten years
>>727616618Even better, she has to bend over and lick Federation Boot anytime they try to kill her, which is about 3 times (Other M, Fusion, Dread)
>>727595975>yellingWhy do boomers exaggerate shit like this? They refer to criticism as “crying.” Do they all have brain damage?
>>727616728it'd probably make your shilling a little less obvious. i thought you were done posting? is your retardation a memory thing?
>>727616850Nah you just kept throwing good bait and I'm hungry/ bored. Keep it coming boomer
>>727595745I thought this would be a TORtanic but as usual /v/ is wrong. The GF characters suck, I won’t mince words on that, but I’m liking everything else a lot. Unless it shits the bed later on, MP is 4 for 4 on good games.
>>727616775>Dreadwait no Raven Beak isn't feder-no he actually stole the emmi from that shady company and then-wait did the chozo ever recede from the fede-THAT FUCKING BIRD WAS A FED WASN'T HE
>>727616930nah the reply chain at this point is pretty definitive for anyone reading. enjoy your shift. buy better ai models or at least figure out how to get them to not sperg out in an involved discussion.
>>727595745No one has been able to refute this.
>>727617147Remember to capitalize boomer! I know school wasn't the best back in the day, and a lot of you dropped out. But you should use English properly.
>>727595745You and them have the same problem, you have no opinion and no way to form an opinion. I can look at the previews for this game and see that it's good, with a couple of really huge flaws. What that means to you, as far as whether you play the game and how much you enjoy it, is completely up to you.
>>727595745>saltykys faggot
>>727617179This is retarded and you should go back. Combat was the worst part of Metroid Prime until this game. The only challenge was always “switch to the right color beam on cue” or “switch to the right visor on cue.” The atmosphere is great and the level design supports that.
>>727617220not capitalizing is an entire genre of posting style that's been endemic to 4chan since smartphones and is primarily a gen z affectation. i do it because im phone posting and refuse to keep auto correct on but some people do it to signal detatchment from caring about formatting. there's a pasta about it that floats around. again, do your homework before trying to astroturf. im trying to help, you are bad at your job
>>727617329"these subjective things are REALLY subjective". Wow anon. Such sage knowledge.
>>727617403>we traded level design in a metroid game to (supposedly) improve what the series is ACTUALLY beloved for, combat!genius
>>727617409>not capitalizing is an entire genre of posting style that's been endemic to 4chan since smartphonesWhich seems strange to me, considering that phones auto-capitalizes words
>>727617492Except it’s not a trade. If you’re going to put words in my mouth at least read what I wrote.
>>727617409And I'm trying to tell you I have no job, and that I don't want to fit in with people like you. So I don't need the advice you fucking loser. You seem to treat 4chan like it's your family you love board culture so much. I can't imagine being in that sad of a state, and I'm disabled.
>>727617504I don’t understand the hate for phoneposting. Maybe 15 years ago when smart phones were seen as a “normie” thing to own, but everyone reading this owns a smart phone. It’s just a pointless straw to grasp for when rage baiting other rage baiters.
>>727617403And now there's no challenge at all. Congrats.
>>727617504auto capitalization and auto correct feel like letting ai autopilot my thoughts so i just live with sloppy formatting>>727617534you said the level design (linear hallways, a downgrade) facilitates combat. the level design was worsened to have enemy wave doom esque shooting setpieces in a game whose mission statement was to be almost a kind of point and click style adventure exploration title
>>727617647I’m sure I can get you the bluey game if you just want to match colors all day.
>>727613954erm based
>>727617740I'd rather play an actually good game, like Gradius or Ikaruga or something that doesn't bore me with Lt. Bazinga and his cadre of wacky NPCs.
>>727617563>and in trying to tell youno one cares, retard, you started off with this drivel of a shill post>>727608374i was never taking anything you said at face value because you are on the clock and just trying to save face.i would like other anons to note that he made a comparison of prime 4 to halo. as if that was a good thing.
>>727595745You clearly do care otherwise you wouldn't have made this thread.
Any Citron users in chat? is there a fix for the area loading freeze and bluescreening noise? also sometimes my games colors just invert themselves
>>727617829Yeah because I don't need a game franchise to be the same game over and over. I specifically compare to "saving marines", that's the only element. The only thing I'm weary of is open world elements like the desert. Continue to seethe, I command it.
>>727617967>i don't needi told you, i dont care. you probably dont play videogames, you probably watch netflix and pass out to get ready for tomorrows commute. youre shilling a shitty product. of course you only have nice things to say
>>727617867I care about letting you know how good I feel about not feeling any compulsion to justify myself.
>>727596286Is Baby Metroid the uncle to Master Chief?
This is a Metroid game in 2025.
>>727617179Because I don't really disagree. The game needs more platforming.But I like going through the world so far too.
>>727618079Whatever your headcanon says, bro! Keep it coming loving every laugh.
>>727595745Based OP
>>727618130He's such a silly guy
>>727618130I thought Nintendo fans hated movie games.
>>727618157you really sound like a 4channer now champ. remember to never truncate "loving every laugh" to "lel", anons HATE it
>>727595745This game is unironically the best shit I have played in a long time. Everyone lying about it and seething makes it even better desu. All publicity is good publicity, I believe this will be the highest selling Metroid game by far. The hordes of retards hating are only advertising the game for Nintendo.
>>727617179He's right but this also happened to Doom as well after Eternal. I think the main problem is that piece of shit known only as Halo. That series was garbage since the beginning, it should have been a cross between Marathon, Half-Life, and Crysis 1. Halo is so shit it's going to die hard. No one wants a new game from that series, and the PlayStation will not save it, singleplayer, multiplayer, or otherwise. They missed their chance to hard reboot that piece of shit and set things right. Rest in shit, Halo, you, and the era you've created can all die in a pit of fire along with your garbage tranny fanbase and your dead console platform.
>>727618542D'awww thanks coach. You're still a big ol' faggot though.
>>727618505Dude it's literally just this one level during the tutorial of the game that's basically a hallway where Myles follows you. That's it
>>727618656And when you have to escort the other NPCs. And when you have to constantly listen to them, and when you're fighting the final boss.But sure, it's just "this one level".
It's wild how quickly and defiantly people will rush to defend something even if it's actually bad. Retards that are shilling this game probably did two driving sections and think it's not so bad, but when the desert is your only way of travel and you have to deal with the same stupid enemies every time they need an upgrade. And this isn't even mentioning the fact they don't they HAVE TO get EVERY green crystal they see. That'll be a ton of fun for them. I'd like to see them defending this crap then.New toy syndrome is a bitch.
>>727618656Play the game faggot. I just got to the girl and she's somehow more annoying that Myles was, and she hasn't shut the fuck up since I ran into her. Tokabi and just marginally Sarge has been the only tolerable ones.
>>727595745I was like this but for doom eternal. /v/ shat on the game so much and every single thread is shitflinging but I couldn't get enough of it
>>727618613>d'awwwww>'olohhh i see, they gave you the tumblr sheet and you've been using it on 4chan by accident. scroll down on the pdf your boss sent you. ill keep whacking off to these selfies your obese mother sent me in the meantime
>>727616027Yeah I'm aware that PS1 and Sega CD sucked shit with all the FMV movies you don't have to remind me
>>72761321408 still makes you a newfag retard larper
>>727618782>they DO have to get every crystalphoneposting faggot I know
>>727618720NTA but sounds pretty good to me. A 3D game was never going to capture the "good" anxiety of Fusion and Dread. There's no reason to pretend the Prime series needs it.
>ninten cattle coping when you give them the same taste of their own medicine when they shitted on sony movie games.You love to see it!
>>727618505Standards keep dropping as the Nintendo cult gets bigger and nobody is allowed to criticize. Or for every 1 bad thing said about the game, you must say 10 good things to soften the blow.
>>727618909Sony games it's like the whole game is shitty woke cutscenes, with this it's literally 45 seconds and none of it is woke or even cringe
>>727618884>a 3d game was never going to capture the good anxiety of fusion and dread>so let's turn it into hallway simulator with escort missions
Either extreme is bad, whether it be unilateral praise or unilateral lambastingCriticize the bad but don't overlook the good, and vice-versa.
>>727618993>Sony games it's like the whole game is shitty woke cutscenesShow me a single cutscene from Prime 4 that isn't shitty cringe.
>>727619019I wasn't referring to linearity or the typical Metroid formula. Just the atmosphere. As for if linearity is a good thing or not, I still need to play it. But Fusion was good despite being linear.
>>727619047>Either extreme is bad, whether it be unilateral praise or unilateral lambastingyoure right, time to go update my review of meinkampf and really look for the parts where it shines! better not be too negative, after all.
>bro Lt. Bazinga isn't cringe you are just hating.holy copes batman.
>>727618993I'm only going to stomp on your balls for 45 seconds
>>727595745Maybe you like Metroid being turned into a Zelda game with dungeons connected by a hub with gay shrines littered around but I don't.
Say what you want.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSu_NdtmmRgThe OST has been really fucking good so far.
>>727619146>mein kampfDo you even know where you are?
>>727619204he's trying to keep his chain going don't worry about it anon.
>>727595794It's not subjective. They are objectively bad. Whether you care or not is what is subject.
>>727619047That isn't what this is about. I'm saying for whatever reason Metroid Prime 4 has brought me a mental turning point feeling obliged to justify why I can enjoy something "mediocre" and "underwhelming" without losing my shit when the person I'm telling that to refuses to accept it as a good reason.So what if you think I can't see how bad something is or am being an apologist for flawed design, stick it up your ass, I'm relaying my own experience.
>>727619204fine, the talmud then. those bits about permissable intercourse with 3 year olds are only like one page
This game is genuinely awful and seeing tendies try to defend this eelsly shows they'll take anything as a big circled N is on the box. This is far, far, far worse than Halo 4. Everyone hated Halo 4. Halo 4s were vocal. Now those same devs ruined this game and you RETARDS defend it because of the big red N. You don't are at all about quality. You don't care about these series or anything.
>>727619301kek'd
>>727619130>Fusion was goodFusionsnoys make me laugh.
>>727619374Fusion is my favorite 2D Metroid
>>7276194122nd fav for me after Dread, you know what's up.
>>727619301Talmud also says women shouldn't have rights and should be completely subservientSooooo.... *weighing hand motions* win...?
>>727619412You have really shit taste.
>>727619451>>727619412>we love movie gamesWe know you do.
>>727595745Because you play video games to receive external validation from others, not because you like the medium and want to understand it better. There is very little difference between you and a beast of the land.
>>727619461>Talmud also says women shouldn't have rights and should be completely subservientso does every piece of conventional wisdom written before the englightment to be fair
>>727619542Anon, Metroid I-III haven't aged well.. Sorry to say it. I got filtered by Super it was such a slog.
>>727619278And nobody gives a shit about you, your feelings, or your experience. Your experience does not change the reality of the game. You are not important. You do not matter. The discourse is about the game design of Metroid Prime 4, not your feelings you vapid narcissistic rat.
>>727619637You got filtered because you don't like video games. You like people validating you for playing video games. Nobody will validate you for playing SM so you could not enjoy it. Fuck off.
>>727595745You matured. Some people never do. Those of us who do aren't as vocal as the whiners, but we're actually the majority. We just figured out that it is easier to let miserable people be miserable by themselves and keep a positive attitude ourselves.Welcome to having a healthy relationship with your hobby instead of making it an eternal ego contest.

>>727619686People are allowed to like things and share their enjoyment of it even if consensus is that it's not great.You don't have one single thing in your life like that? Something you personally enjoy for whatever reason that everyone else shits on?
>>727620116Anyone who likes Metroid will shit on it, it's honestly really mediocre and I'm kinda bummed out it turned this way
>>727620083>i-its okay to like awful shit

>>727620158>loseryour posts stick out like a sore thumb. everyne who posts on 4chan is automatically a loser, it's very vaginal insult made by marketers and tourists

>>727620164NTA, but when I like things, I'm willing to acknowledge when they have problems. I love Armored Core 6, but you won't see me dicksucking the stagger mechanic, or the lack of long ranged weapons.
>>727620283Hahahaaaaaa you're getting me confused with people capitalizing now. My master plan succeeded
>>727619374>[thing]snoyyou guys know there is only one anon going around saying this right? I doubt he even plays videogames.
>>727620083Yeah, well, it took long enough. People have been telling me to "stop caring" for years and years now whenever I feel like I can't get any respect for just being myself.
>>727620310nintendo was always a shovelware company with only a few good standout games that people rememberno one ever talks about the dogshit GBA ports for example
Just a few examples.
>>727620354Whatever /v/snoy
>>727620116This is why we like it.
>>727620474How cute.
>>727620591How sad. I play a wide range of games, not just 1 (anymore). Used to be addicted to WoW.
>>727619278Explain why this thread exists and why you keep arguing about how much you don't care then.
>>727620116They are even more harsh on the game now than here.
>>727620474what do playtimes of these shitty games have to do with his accusation that you dont play super metroid because there's no social clout to be gained? this reinforces his point, these are the three most normy friendly games on the switch
>>727620661I just want to provide clarification on why I made the thread.
>>727620687Thank you for confirming your stupidity if you can't see this means I play videogames for enjoyment. I don't know what to tell you anon, you're dead set on painting some picture of me that doesn't actually exist.
>>727620891>normal amount of hours in the 3 most normie games in existence>i-i swear im not a bandwagonerpathetic

>>727614162Then explain so that we do “get it”
>>727621694Anon I literally don't care if anyone here buys it, most of you don't have money. It'll still outsell every other Metroid game.
>>727621847>it said as it furiously defended its obvious viral marketing thread
>>727620164But I do like things that are objectively flawed or bad and out of consensus all of the time. The difference is, is that I am able to acknowledge those shortcomings and agree with the critics. People like you however cannot differentiate the objective quality of something from your own subjective enjoyment of that thing. Therefore you are not discussing the game but your own personal feelings, which are irrelevant to a discussion on the design of the game. You can like whatever you want but liking it doesn't make it good and it does not erase the problems. This is why you are a vapid person. You literally cannot differentiate between where your thoughts end and your feelings begin.
>>727621904Yeah okay schizophrenic. Are advertisers in your walls right now? Call the police.
>>727620158Thank you for proving my point
>>727621552>his only argument to defend full priced AAA slop is to call people poor
>>727622034You didn't prove anything, you took a dump in your pants and claimed victory ahahaha still live laugh loving here.
>>727621967>take your meds>schizo>tin foil hatyou realize these are also shill lines so ubiquitous that they have become dogwhistles to call out shills? of course there are advertisers and shills on 4chan, they work for pennies to afford their hrt
Protip; metroid prime has always only had 1 good game
>>727595745because you are goy cattle
>>727622195No, I mean you're an actual schizophenic based on your behaviour. Especially this post I'm replying to. Now that I know what I'm dealing with I'm moving on with my day.
>>727621967NTA, but there is viral marketing on /v/. Don't know if that's the case with this game, but it does occur
>>727620310What happened is that Iwata died and any soul Nintendo had died with him. He was the one man holding them back from becoming EA.
>>727621847Who knows, I hope it sells less than dread myself.
>>727622332>this is my last post for real!!you already said that earlier.
>>727620310only /v/ can have takes this dogshit
>>727622517youre right, he forgot to list how shit pikmin 4 was
>>727614604the problem is that you can turn the hint system off, and that the aurora unit at most tells you that what you're looking for to progress isn't on the planet when you run into a dead end. Miles, on the other hand, spams you every 15 minutes about where you should go next. Oh, hey you've got an upgrade, why dont you go back to <specific location> to progress the story? Nevermind that thgey made it so that there's a GIANT FUCKING DESERT THAT TAKES 5 MINUTES TO CROSS, AS WELL AS AN ENDGAME OBJECTIVE TO FIND THE FUCKING CRYSTALS, nevermind there's a direct incentive to drive around the big ass fucking desert to find shit (which makes the game think youy might be lost anyways and spoil you on the next objective). It's one step removed from having an objective marker in the corner of your map.
>>727595745>What changed?Nothing you are being contrarian on /v/. Because you want to be contrarian.
>>727609698She definitely does. She is a space bounty hunter, experienced invasion, probably took on traffickers during or after her time in space academy. Whether she's HAD it is another question.
Don’t care not buying, yet here you are totally not seething by making this thread to defend your $70 purchase due to opinions making you seethe.
>>727623082I would have paid $80 for this
Nintenshills only talk about Miles and not all the rest of the equally annoying NPCs that you constantly meet in the game because they've never played the game themselves. Not to mention how by the end you're forced to escort them all in the final levels and if even one of them dies it's an instant game over. Good luck with that shitty Tentacle Sylax boss fight while constantly trying to play medic with these idiots.
>>727596156>normally I'm hyper defensive >immediately starts calling anons faggot, unprovoked at least keep the bait going for 10 posts, FAGGOT OP
>>727596407Correct, this is called the “honey moon” period. Give it a month when people the hyped up fanboys leave and the game is actually examined critically
>>727613235I do, just for the AI general. For the pregloli gens.
>>727595745I just don't get what the fuck the point of the desert is. It feels half-baked. They could put cool challenges and mini things to explore and it could be so much more than it is.otherwise, aside from the annoying NPCs, the game itself is fine. The bosses are solid so far, the game looks great, etc.>>727612683cute, as always. Love me blonde amazon wife.
>>727595745The anti-Nintendo brigade tried extremely hard to make everyone perceive this game as bad. They pushed it too far to the point that people that weren't interested in it picked it up to see how bad it was only to be pleasantly surprised at how good it was. They talked up Miles like he was the next Frey but as far as millennial writing goes, he's a little annoying and lame but is basically harmless in the grand scope of the game. So nice try anti-shills Nintendo is still on a roll lol. See you at the smash 6 and Mario kart dlc announcement at the game awards. With the Ai apocalypse the switch 2 will be the only videogame hardware anyone can buy for the next 4 years LOL may aswell join us and have fun.
>>727624846>may as well join us and have funPlaying what? Movieshit like Kirby or Splatoon or Metroid or Xenoblade?
Having finished the game, I think that the 80 is too high of a score for it. Now I know why Nintendo was so hesitant to advertize this game, they knew that it was really mediocre
>>727622765It would honestly have been better and more immersive to have a waypoint or objective marker than have someone constantly radio you to tell you where to go next. At least it would make sense considering the power armor even if it would also be a shit decision. This shit is just BAFFLING.
>>727622347Oh look, here's the obligatory seething GameCube snoy sucking Iwata's dick.
>>727624846Never use Wario for your flagrant brand cocksucking ever again.
>Hey Samus! Have you been collecting the green crystals? You can return them to the location I will notify you about every 10 minutes!Bro, you already pinged me about this and I have it on my map, why do you need to do it again with the sticky map prompt? I'm trying to collect the fucking mech parts
>>727624846the only brand slop wario would ever defend is the shit he made himself with full knowledge that what he made was complete shit but still has to shill it for money
>>727625375And Nintendo cocksuckers are using Prime 3 and even fucking Dread to defend that shit as if it's the same thing.I have never felt so much rage. Dread's conversation with Quiet Robe was the best Samus dialogue in the entire franchise capped off with her speaking in Chozo, it made the most of every single word in that game AND THOSE GODDAMN IDIOTS ARE DARING TO COMPARE IT WITH THIS DISGRACE OF A MESS
>>727621950At what point has anyone who said they liked Prime 4 not acknowledged its shortcomings? Literally every post I see praising the game carries the nearly universal agreement that the Fed Squad suck and the desert suck but they still enjoy the game in spite of those.
>>727625618I unironically would have preferred for Samus to speak in Prime 4 instead of austically staring back when one of the troopers says something to her. Like you can make her talk, just don't have her say a bunch of dumb shit like in Other M. The part where she speas in Dread is genuinely a great moment that sent shivers when it happened
>>727595745>What changed?Nothing? You are here, defending it, instead of playing. Criticism of something you like is not a personal attack. Yet you crave defending it so much that you must come here and flaunt that you love it in a way that attracts criticism. Therefore you do not love it, you love only conflict. You are empty inside, and dead already. You waste the carbon you are composed of.
>>727625818Just beat the flame section, yeah.I would prefer her to speak and react to things instead of being mute. I can't believe they thought this looked okay.Again, she doesn't use any fucking body language at least so it's even more jarring.
>>727626008At some points it looks like she is about to nod or the model moves a bit so it looks like a nod, but it just looks goofy when the feds say something to her and she just stares back until the other character speaks again
>>727612310>4chan is loudly known for racismas a 2020 oldfag i can attest to this
>>727626154I am fucking amazed she never gives anyone a fucking thumbs up. She doesn't do any fucking hand or arm gestures. This fucking sucks.
>>727625810I wanted Nintendo to add a toggle to completely remove the NPCs, and their escort quests, and I got called a snoytranny. Doesn't sound like you guys are welcoming to discussion.
>>727627161A toggle to make it so they can't contact you anymore sounds reasonable, a 'Disable comms' button in Settings that just sets the game to ignore triggers for when a NPC would contact you, that'd I'd be happy with as an addition and seems like an easy ask.Removing them entirely is a bit impractical though, how much effort/coding would it take to make a version that completely removes their presence all together?
>>727627752>Removing them entirely is a bit impractical though, how much effort/coding would it take to make a version that completely removes their presence all together?Am I supposed to care? If it nearly bankrupted Valve to add a refund option to their games, I wouldn't suddenly turn around and say "oh poor Valve, consumer rights are overrated anyway"
I have fixed your game.
the worst thing about the game isn't even the NPCs, it's that they MADE GENERIC HUBS THAT ARE LINEAR instead of a big, interconnected map that you unlock with new stuff you find.it's not even a metroid game, really.
>>727595745game's not even out. you aren't having fun. and if you have fun with mp4 then you can have fun with all manner of midslop, which, given the intellectual capabilities you've displayed here, is likely for the best.
>>727618130Imagine if he fell into that chasm and died haha
>>727595745>nintentranny has fun with a nintendo game no matter how bad it isnews flash!
>>727627151She should have done that while Sylux was killing the feds
>>727628452The game is good though.
>>727628227Yeah the map design is pure garbo. The worst thing about the npcs are the areas where almost the whole area revolved around babysitting them with the Mines being the worst offender
>>727628550Yeah when he shot McKenzie I was just happy that it happened
>>727628227Seiously, the NPCs suck but the worst issue by far is the abysmal level/world design along with anemic enemy variety and like no music. I assume most people just havent gotten to the late game when these issues become more apparent
>>727595745holy COPEare shitendo fans really this delusional about their 600 dollar dust collector machine that has zero games?
>>727628695Having to fight Griefers for an entire area was torture. That combined with the constant enemy gauntlets just made the area a complete drag
>>727627895>Am I supposed to care?If you have a sense of practical solutions to improve the game we got, yeah. It would take way too much time/money for devs to create a Fed-free version of the game without charging for reworked scenes/segments (especially the ending). But I think a lot of people's problems come from their frequent chiming where they're not wanted/needed throughout the game even when they're not in the same room as you, and THAT is as easy to remove as a bool set to IGNORE if you toggle something to remove comm messages, that's something they could easily implement at minimum cost and is worth pushing for.
>>727628564delusional
Apologize right the fuck now, /v/.
>>727595745It's fun BUT it's more like 3 than 1 and 2 and the modern video gamey aspects are not great
>>727628695metroid is supposed to be one big level, with parts you unlock with new abilities you find. not 4 or 5 hubs that you do one at a time. the idea is supposed to be "oh im stuck here, but I have this new ability so now I can make progress".
>>727628980No need, Dread is a good game and I 100% on my first playthrough
>>727612683Super pretty. Really surprised a western dev managed this
>>727624976>Kirby>Splatoon>movieshitGo fellate a cactus ACfag
>>727595745You have to talk to NPC douchebag to use your upgrades. Which involve the desert, bike, and many transition cutscenes. You're a retard.
I gotta find robot parts now?
>>727628809>if you have a sense of practical solutions to improve the game we got, yeahEven furfag games already solved this little issue.
>>727629242>games are supposed masterpieces>fans spend every waking moment jerking off sales in the famitsu threads, and participate in console warring at every opportunityYes, they're no better than snoy trash that's solely used to propagate console wars.
So what happened to screw attack?
>>727628980I have zero issues with Dread.And few issues with Prime 3.In fact, my issues with Prime 4 don't overlap with my issues in either of the above. It isn't a matter of dialogue, it's a matter of matching the game. As much as Other M was a mess in multiple aspects even it managed to nail that simple thing with the Federation operatives acting how you'd expect them to in spite of their quirks. Nobody wanted Jar Jar Binx and a tiktok fangirl going ''look it's Morph Ball'' in Metroid.
>>727628980The only ones who hate Dread are shitposters.
>>727612050Don't compare Miles to someone who can keep up with Sonic.
I think the game is pretty mediocre but so far /v/'s talking points that they got from youtube aren't really factoring into it>Game actually looks pretty good>So far the extra characters range from annoying to harmless, but definitely shouldn't have been included at all>Desert and bike both suck. The desert is empty and silent, and the bike isn't fun to control at all>Because of the desert all the normal levels are completely segregated from one another, so it is no longer an interconnected map>Even the levels themselves are way more linear. That's linear as in layout and not progression, progression has always been linear in Metroid (not abusing glitches or exploits) after the first game>Forced combat sections are even more plentiful than Prime 3, and often have multiple waves>There definitely seems to be a lot more cutscenes, even if you only include ones with just Samus there's so many instances where you enter a room and a little cutscene plays to show off something stupid>Turning beams into missiles is dumb, having to go to Myles to install them is even worse>Everything has such a bland name. "Fire Shot", "Ice Belt", "Flare Pool", "Green Energy". It feels like placeholder names that no one came and fixed, especially compared to the likes of "Phendrana Drifts", "Agon Wastes", "Bryyo">The scan logs are completely soulless, there are fuck all lore ones and the research logs you can find aren't very interesting either>No Space Pirates past the intro (so far), definitely no Space Pirate logs
>>727596402Which rpgmaker game are you talking about?
>>727601945>which is similar to something they added in Prime 1 RemasterAll three Prime games have always had something like this. There's a setting you can turn on that will nudge you in the right direction if you're taking too long, and it usually takes the form of "Scans have picked up X in this area" and it'll show you the room to go to but not how to get there.Prime 4 shows your objective from the moment you get to a new area and Myles isn't the one to do it. There's one section that's pretty bad where he shows you exactly where to go on the map and asks you if you want him to repeat it but that doesn't seem to be a recurring thing at least in my experience. That being said, if you dick around too much in the desert the first time you get there, or end up going to the ice area first, Myles will chime in and tell you to go to the volcano, and I can easily see that happening more than once
>>727608374achkmed.. you know were not supposed to use photoshoped images for our shilling campaigns anymore, it makes it too obvious. Ill cover you by posting the real version of your image, just be more careful in the future.
Question for others here. I'm having a blast playing but I can't help but feel my damage is bad.I fought the big lava snake but when the opportunity to do damage came up I could only really spam my beams and missles but they didn't do a lotta damage. the fight took a sec, but I can't help but feel like I'm doing damage wrong. Legtimiately embaressing to ask but how should I be doing my best damage? I feel like firing the element bems is too slow and spamming missles is too slow, and the power beam itself seems weak, unless it's not actually.I'm too used to doing Charge shot and missle in the older games.
>>727621727nta but literally just go look at the title screens for any of the other games. Even the collection has a better title screenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4c4E0ndmOI&t=35s
>>727632804There's Ocarina of Time grottos in the desert, they have beam missile combo's that do tons of damage.
>>727633026I found the fire beam one yeah. Lets you do a charge shot but it takes like 3 beam ammo and not missle ammo. Are there missle ammo variants too?
>hey samus you can freeze stuff with the ice shot>try freezing magma with the ice shot>by the way did i mention magma? ice shot? freezing?i drive across the desert to the volcano>hey samus you need a suit upgrade to get past the lava, why don't you check out the volt forgewhat the fuck were they thinking?
>>727633438liar, Myles isn't what mentions needing a suit, it's just text on screen that says you do not have the required upgrade. the original Primes did similar occasionally.
>>727595929The feds, not just miles, all the worthless fucktard redditnigger feds completely ruin and destroy my ability to enjoy the game for even a second. Simply because I always have that feeling in the back of my head like "some redditnigger npc is gonna chime in and forcefeed me dialogue at any point". I cant enjoy the game at all, the instant there was a single fed it was unplayable unimmersive worthless trash. I never felt isolated ever at any point, i never felt like I was on an alien planet ever at any point. I felt like i was on a phone call with redditors on earth the entire game. It never at any point felt like metroid.
>>727595745Nah bro, you got so salty about people shitting on your mediocre shovelware that you literally made a thread to cope about it saying that you don't care.
>>727633930in case you're not joking, no, he radioed me in the desert when i was near the volcano to tell me that actually when the game was obviously signposting me to go to the volcano next that it was a lie and i should go to volt forge instead
>>727620116any sane metroid fan, doesn't matter which social media site they use will shit on this game. because it is not fucking metroid
>>727632804>im having a blast>doing my best damage
>>727634339If you're saying I made a pun then it was a piss poor one.
>>727634260oh, so just like the map system in Prime 1>ABNORMAL GRAVITY DETECTED IN BUMFUCK PHENRANA DRIFTS
>>727632804feed the tree baja blast crystals for upgraded power beam
>I ACTUALLY don't seem to give a shit for once.
>>727634307it's Metroid Prime, stupid. and it's the best one.
>>727634418i wasn't even complaining about myles handholding me, i had already resigned myself to that fateno, it was that he handheld me in the wrong direction and wasted my time only to then handhold me in a different direction
>>727632804>I'm having a blast
>>727634404no, just that you talk like a viral marketer esl who thinks they're on reddit.
>>727632090Black Souls 2
>>727634114NTA but really? Not a single second you're able to enjoy the ambience in the long stretches of being alone? I've made decent progress through the game and 95% of the time spent has been in solitude with just me/the environment trying to kill me. I don't disagree at all these guys suck and it sucks when they call or are on-screen and break it up but there is a lot, lot more time going on where they're not around than when they are that I can immerse myself in.
>>727634582Sorry I can't be as much of a joyless shit as you, anon.
>>727634556literally skill issue
>>727634657>im having a blast>y'all are just haters>why are we mad about this?>a return to form!please continue your completely organic and authentic thoughts about Metroid Prime 4: Beyond™, anon. i can't wait to Get In The Game with you and start Shooting Epic Space Pirates!
What controls are you guys using? Im doing the default with motion also turned on with the pro contoller and it's finally starting to click. I just beat xelios almost entirely using free aim and it was a blast but i feel like it would work best with keyboard and mouse. I havent even tried the joycon mouse because i despise the ergonomics of the joycons and i play on a recliner so i dont know how well that would work without getting some armrest table. I still prefer mp3s and trilogys controls but this feels better than remasters controls
>>727635031how is it a skill issue? the volcano is the logical next step after getting the ice shothaving to detour to the volt forge comes completely out of nowherenow, if the game let me progress a bit through the volcano until reaching another obstacle which then signposted me to the volt forge, that would be finesee the difference?
>>727634597I watched a longplay. roughly 1/4th of the game, including the final boss, you are escorting, talking to or being tutorialized by npcs. another 1/4th youre slogging through the lame desert (with no music unless you pay 30 dollars for an amiibo or complete a 100% run). then for the other half, yeah you're on your own for the extremely linear hallways they call "mazelike dungeons", where genuine backtracking and exploration have been replaced by enemy wave based action setpieces ala nu doom.absolute trash
>>727635169I'm using the pro controller one. It's fine for the most part but Gyro feels kind of clunky when you have to aim for weakspots on main bosses. I never thought I'd say it but I genuinely do miss using the wiimote fo most of the aiming.
>>727635169>it was a blasti personally love that ai and marketers (same thing) absolutely cannot stop themselves from using this phrase. corporate brainwashing is really something.
>>727635405>I watched-the absolute current state of /v/ Videogames, everyone. kill yourself unionically.
>>7276058123 gives you a message before the last dungeon that it is a point of no return and the last time to collect items only for the entire last segment to make all those missle pickups irrelevant because you immediately enter hyper mode for the entire segment
Even when perfect games are made like BOTW/TOTK they still make shit up. Sony fanboys and snoy critics are retarded children crying non-stop
>>727635501Actually mental illness. Paranoia and jumping at shadows is usually a sign of schizophrenia.
>>727617046Wait, were the Chozo ever Federation? I thought they were officially an independent 3rd party waiting to die out.
I fucking hate the escort shit and not being able to sit and enjoy the peace for even an hour, but at least the bossfights are fun.
>>727635262no, the next place is the factory
>>727635752do you have down syndrome?
>>727635552The only difference between watching and playing is that I didn’t waste $60 +$10 upgrade pack + tip on this shit
>>727620310Why does everyone act like F-Zero 99 isn’t fucking fantastic
>>727635552im not playing your shit game. when something as egregious as miles is revealed, always watch gameplay. what's the alternative? pay for this trash?>>727635610>meds>tin foil hat>schizoyeah ive heard this from shills before too. everyone knows that there are shills online now, it's not a hand waveable secret like it was in the 2010s.
>>727635834filtered
>>727595745I'm enjoying it too, I don't get the hate desu.
Bloodlines 2 is my watershed moment when it comes to standing up for what I enjoy and not being salty over people criticizing me for liking something they don't.I ACTUALLY don't seem to give a shit for once. I'm having fun, they're not, and for whatever reason them telling me I'm fucking stupid for being so oblivious to crippling flaws I feel mostly unaffected. Normally I get hyper-defensive when this happens.What changed?
>>727635859>im not playing yourTHEN WHY ARE YOU HEREWHY ARE YOU HERE IN THIS THREADWHY HAS IT BEEN 22 YEARS AND FAGGOTS WILL STILL COMPLAIN ABOUT SHIT IN A THREAD ABOUT SHIT THEY DON'T LIKE AND DIDN'T PLAY
>hear about new metroidvania>ask clerk if it's a metroid or a castlevania>he laughs>"is good metroidvania sir>get home>it's castlevaniaPrime 4 may suck in almost all the new stuff it adds, but at least at the end of the day the core game inside it is metroid and that's all I can ask for when the genre is so heavily skewed in the castlevania direction.
>>727636045because this game is so shit you can tell without playing it. there's another thread up with a guy who has buyers remorse from the green crystal fetchquest, ask him what he thinks of your shitty game.cry more
>>727636021Loss/lessening of insecurity perhaps. That's often the crack other people's useless opinions crawl in through

>>727635609>can't maintain 30fps>with double buffered vsync>"perfect"
>>727634597Not one second have i felt alone or isolated. Im just constantly wondering whens the next time the assholes are gonna chime in and it ruins the whole thing.
>>727636065The core game isnt metroid. The core game is like some shitty sci fi military visual novel
>>727637596so long as you say prime 3 wasnt metroid either thats fair.
>>727595745Keep going.I used to play games way before 4chan's creation, and almost never got the same miserable mindset as the usual anon here.
>>727634114You ever play the first Crisis? It has one of the best alien isolation moments in a game. Particularly because it's very contrasted with the first few chapters that are future warfare between human squads.Sorry if this seems off topic. I just feel it's constructive to offer people an experience that satisfies that feeling, and is still worth playing 20 years later, since the crisis engine back then>MP1 on gamecube.
The level design is basically just 5 hallways making it pretty much pointless to go back for upgrades until the very end, especially considering the fucking loading screens and desert. It doesn't even feel like Metroid. Metroid Prime worked because the level design makes you take different paths through zones you've already been to and they all weave together. I have no idea how any of this game got greenlit. I don't think a single person in the room liked Metroid.
>>727637708Prime 3 wasnt metroid either and fusion is also not metroid
Which one of you is thisAnd you're not slick, User joined Nov 2025
So is Nintendo just saying at this point that the Metroiud Fusion and beyond / Prime and beyond games are different timelines?Because I just do not see how the tricked out post MP4 Samus realistically gets downgraded to Super Metroid, let alone beginning of the gamr Metroid 2 Samus.It feels like it makes more narrative sense at this point just to say the end of MP3 leads to Metroid 2 in the main Canon and MP4 in the side canon, especially with dread also making Samus an unstoppable killing machine in that canon.
>>727638369This feels like a snoy shitposting out of anger over the fact that the switch 2 is at 15 million sales in just over 6 months and on track to beat the ps4 for best selling year 1 video game hardware ever by a huge margin
>>727635429The controls were the best part of 3 it was my favorite of the trilogy when it came out because it was just so much more fun to play than using the gamecube controller
>>727638636FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING NINTENDICKSUCKER FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
>>727638549Prime Samus loses every single power up at the end of all her games.All the Aether abilities she left to the Luminoth, including the beams/suitsThe PED suit and all upgrades were lost with the loss of PhaazeShe loses all her psychic powers and upgrades at the end of BeyondSamus at the start of Super (or rather start of Metroid 2 since 3 takes place almost immediately after 2) is effectively Samus at the end of 1
>>727638549Stop caring about canon in vidya especially for nintendo games where the plot only exists to explain the setting
>>727595745Alright I just beat the game and it’s my turn to scream into the void. It’s not the best Metroid ever, but it took my attention for 10 or so hours. Never felt like I wanted to put it down and forget it but there were a few things that made me go, “Really?” Lore is mediocre at best. Fights rely on a lot of the free aim mechanic which is fine, but I played the whole thing on the switch screen so it was kinda tough. Luckily you don’t have to collect every single green crystals, but that’s the worst part of the game for me. Motorcycle is forced but I eventually got comfortable using it. Given the development hell I think I wanted it to be worse, but it’s fine. Probably play it again soon.
>>727595929The worst part is that he's the hint system personified, and the previous 3 games had the grace to let you turn off the hint system. This game does not and that retarded jew thinks it's neccesary to remind you EVERY SINGLE TIME you enter the desert. Muting voice volume helps a lot, but I really don't understand why anyone would think this is a good idea.
>>727639008>70 dollars to spend 10 hours on something that makes you shrugthis is the best case scenario for this game but spending 10 hours indoors in front of a screen for something mediocre is just as hellish as if the game was outright shit. no thanks
>>727628980Metroid Dread has always been good. Metroid Prime 4 is shit.
>>727595745You grew up and became a man. You stopped caring about internet faggots. Here's a thread I made, similar feels.>>727637672
>>727608374That purple bi-sexual color scheme.They think they can fool us.
>>727636065when are retards like you gonna realize that metroidvania is named after a single castlevania game and there has never been a "metroidvania metroid" game
>>727640161>when are retards like you gonna realize the word we've used for years is wrong but we'll keep using it anywaysI've already realized that metroidvania just means castlevania, it's why I've stopped caring for anything labeled as such.
>I don't care so much I made a thread to tell everyonekekenjoy your slop, piggie
>>727641106>weYou. You used it wrong for years. Correct yourself.
>>727595745>What changed?Nothing because you still made this pointless thread. It still clearly bothers you.
>>727641167Please enlighten me what the metroid in metroidvania means, anon.
>>727628980Good game with a lot of issues, but nowhere near the masterpiece many claim it is
>>727641412The genre is named after Castlevania: Symphony of the Night which is a Castlevania game with some elements inspired by Metroid, there has never been a metroidvania that is Metroid-branded. You are obviously ignorant and need to play more games outside your bubble.
>>727595745You sound like such an effeminate faggot. You clearly do care what people think.
>>727641642I see you missed my question, so maybe I should ask again.What does the "metroid" mean in "metroidvania", anon?Symphony of the night isn't literally just castlevania with some metroid and that's it, so I assume there's a deeper reason.
>>727601945>better not stop and enjoy the scenery or you will be berated by an annoying onions millennialyeah no
>>727642336It's explained in the post you just replied to. Are you just typing rote-memorized stupidity?>Symphony of the night isn't literally just castlevania with some metroid and that's it, so I assume there's a deeper reason.Yes indeed that's literally it, the genre is named after that one game.
I've seen people glazing "Metroid Prime Other M" online today. Safe to say all the controversy is rooted in another jeet raid from some marketing company. Stop giving a shit about what's said online it's all fake and gay.
>>727595929>Myles isn't a GOOD addition but he's also not something that is so pervasive that it absolutely kills your engagement with the gamereally?I met him and for the next 30 minutes to an hour, it was NON STOP marvel quipsHow did that not take you out of the game at that point?I think you aren't being totally honest about it. He is absolutely annoying as shit.
>>727642469Damn I guess metroid and castlevania invented weapons and leveling in video games, wrap it up.My sarcastic point was that your logic should be naming it a mario-pitfall-finalfantasy-zelda-metroid-vania etc. etc. It's retarded to go >oh we called it metroid vania because elements of it were inspired by metroid.No shit elements of it were inspired by metroid. It was inspired by tons of shit.The genre has constantly referred to platform exploration-esque games where the goal is to make it to the end via new powerups that unlock new lock and key scenarios that have a heavy emphasis on backtracking; a description that perfectly fits both castlevania and metroid, despite their other differences.Your need to be a smug cunt doesn't change that. It just so happens that all indie devs saw the name and JUST made symphony of the night again, rather than leaning into the other half of the genre.
>>727643027The genre has been consistently referred to SotN and the games it inspired, I'm sorry that you misjudged what it meant and incorrectly thought metroid would somehow be a "-vania" game.
>>727643382No, I would assume a "metroidvania" game would draw elements from both equally or have a wider diversity in the genre. Not just be 5% metroid 95% castlevania.
>>727643474That assumption is wrong and you need to learn more about the genre.
>>727643531The genre needs to change its name if it's false.
>>727643665I agree, they do need to take the "metroid" name out of it since there's no such thing as a metroid metroidvania and it doesn't fit what the genre is.
how many threads will cubies shit up today
There is a point in MP4 where you're dropped into the desert with your bike after getting your second key, and the game gives you 3 map markers for areas to complete the other 3 keys This is maybe the absolute stupidest thing retro has ever done, and it probably knocked the game down 2-5 points on metacritic. Thing is, you HAVE to go to the fire area then the ice area in that order. There is no compromise.The desert itself is a retarded decision for sure, but Retro trying to hide their "linear until the final act" game as non linear does way more damage to initial impressions
>>727643934I like how the NPC says you can tackle them in any order which is a complete lie
>>727644047Honestly it's not even a problem that the game is linear while looking like it could be non linear. All Metroid games are pretty linear but just look like they aren't The problem is Myles telling you to go wherever and there being 3 map markers as if those are objective icons. Just have three standout temples without an objective icon (until you go to the wrong place)-, and Myles saying "idk where you should go" or something If they did that simple change 1 hour before releasing review codes I bet the game would be an 85 on metacritic
>>727644470To be honest I don't think the game deserves even 80, it's a complete mess. I don't know what the reviewers were smoking
>>727643934>"Pick where you want to go first">Go to the ice area, dead end>Can't even enter the mine>As I'm driving to the last marker Myles chimes in to tell me to go there>Only for that to also be a dead end but at least now I get the fire chip to then go back to the ice are>Also they lock off the volcano behind you just to make it even more obvious that you shouldn't come back
How the fuck do I stop the retarded AI from killing themselves over and over to Sylux thunder strike?
>>727644470The game doesn't even deserve a 70. I have no idea how its rating so high beyond the nintendo bonus.
>>727644989Dunno, I just ran to them and ressed them. I guess you should be using the shield from the new suit, but I couldn't be bothered
>>727644653>>727645040Nah the areas of the game are the best in the entire series.It's a flawed masterpiece and if not for the final fetch quest would deserve a 90
>>727614604Don't recall needing to backtrack to the Aurora unit to activate my suit powerups
>>727639870you're a faggot
That one pic of futa samus jizzing inside a metroid
>>727644989Get lucky
>>727638369>sticking to old school game design and forcing you to rely on set save points instead of constant checkpoints is now badNDS makes people say some crazy shit
>>727595745>I ACTUALLY don't seem to give a shit for once.And yet you made a cope blog on a chinese basket weaving forum for manchildren. Don't get me wrong anon, I like Metroid Prime 4 too, but jesus fucking christ go sniff your own farts in private you pervert.
>>727619270>They are objectively bad>they are>theyMyles is one person and HE is a male. I don't know if you're ESL or have blue hair.
