Why are user reviews all over the place for Metroid Prime 4? I'm hesitant to buy now.
well THAT just happened>drives away towards empty boring desert on sci-fi bike
>>727648153the game is an easy 10/10 as long as you can appreciate the graphics the lore the atmosphere the pacing the environment on the switch 2
>>727648153It's a middling game is why. Youll probably enjoy it, but probably ask yourself why they did a lot of what they did.
Hate from people who know it could've been so much better, overly defensive praise from people who don't want to admit its mid, and the rest fall somewhere in between
The userscore is surprisingly high on metacritic
>>727648490it was 7.5 yesterday by the wayhahaahhaahahahahahahahahah now its at 8.6and it will keep rising 10/10 game simple as
>>727648490Positive review bombing, tendies really don't want anymore Ls after the mario kart, kirby air ride and pokemon disasters
>>727648629you can't review bomb there though
>>727648490what is the difference between how people on metacritic and backloggd rate things?
>>727648687Yes you can.
>>727648718proof?
>>727648153Every time i enter Backloggd around ~30% of the recently posted reviews are from Brazilians.
>>727648967>open backloggd>suddenly chrome asks if I want to translate the page from portuguese
Is the game shit?
>>727648153>giant bomb gave it a 10/10 lol, Lmao even?
>>727648153these tranny infested game/movie review sites always give 8-10 to sloppiest of the slops because they only consume new releases
>>727648768Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
>>727648153nintendies are organizing damage control campaigns online
>>727648153Because the game ranges from a 3/10 to a 9/10 in different sections and nobody knows how to react. Is it great? Some parts are. Is it terrible? Some parts are. It's like you are playing an incredible atmospheric sci fi adventure one moment and iPhone shovelware slop the next. What to make of such an experience?
>>727650176I guarantee the game will be remembered for its good parts and nobody will care about the shitty desert 10 years from now. The most highly regarded games have moments of dogshit that everyone conveniently forgets and they are still remembered fondly.
>>727648153Why this game has so much characters?
>>727651615Tanabe has a boner for the Galactic Federation in Metroid the same way he has a boner for Toads in Paper Mario
Reviews by people who played the whole game vs people who played 5 hours and left a review. The game falls off a cliff in the last 25%.
>>727648629I haven't played Air Riders but MK and ZA were both fun, and both have been pretty well received everywhere. The only hate I see for them seems to come from people, like you, still trying to console war.
>>727648629>kirby air ride disasterlmao what disaster, everyone loves this game
>>727652072Mario Kart is trash>console warI own a Switch 2, it doesn't mean MK World doesn't suck. I played it at my friend's house for hours and bought the non-bundled version
>>727651615why you write like an ESL?
>>727648629> Positive review bombing to counteract the negative review bombingBoth sides disingenuous, as user scores continue to be forever meaningless.Journalists will forever be more credible, and 8/10 is about right from what I've played
>>727653039Journalists have never been credible. The only opinion you can trust is your own.
>>727648629>using the term review bombingyou're retarded. it's just spam reviews>>727653039>Journalists will foreverbe irrelevant, ineffectual industry grunts
>>727651812We will never get another game like the first Metroid Prime. >>727652971Probably because I'm a brown indian.
Miss me yet?
>>727653673I don't like Prime 4 much, but Other M is clearly worse. Nothing will ever be worse than making you run through the lava room with the varia suit turned off because you're not "authorized."
>>727653673>only has 1 cool boss
>>727648629Kirby Air Riders was great and I'll defend that one, critic score for it is a journalist skill issue.But yah Prime 4 is mediocre, and should have a low user score so they'd maybe actually learn from their mistakes for the next game. It has a lot of good, but the desert, linearity, green crystals, and characters are so fucking bad it kills it.
>>727648248Not with that linearity. Road to the first big boss is just an L shape, and you loop back through an old room once.
>>727653673never
>>727648153The game is bad.
>>727656143Why?
>>727650357Snowboarding was kinoI felt like I was playing 1080° in my favorite JRPGunbelievable really
>>727653773Samus was doing it out of spiteIn the Jap version, Adam was basically begging Samus to use her upgrades because she was maliciously complying to his initial "orders"the English release really dropped the ball hard on the story and tonality/implications
>>727653163>>727653182>According to Tendies, reviews of any kind are meaningless and the only way to determine if a Nintendo game is good is to ask the Tendies themselves.
>>727653971>next gameThis is the end.
>>727650357Stop hating on Snowboarding, faggot.
>>727657681Maybe of Prime, but def not 2d. Dread was pretty successful and the dude that leaked Dread leaked that they were finishing up another 2D game.
yeah im thinking sakurai won
>>727658706he usually does
>>727648967>>727649175I noticed this as well. Why are so many of the users Spanish and whatnot?
Don't tell anyone but I really like Backloggd's reviews. The autists there usually take things seriously to the point of writing entire thesis sometimes, the scores are decently accurate too. I hope it doesn't get too popular and then gets enshittified like everything else one day.
>>727652072Air Riders is good but cmon manMKW and PLZA are both dogshit
