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
>>
>>727648153
the 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
>>
>>727648153
It'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
>>
>>727648490
it was 7.5 yesterday by the way
hahaahha
ahahahahahahahahah now its at 8.6
and it will keep rising
10/10 game simple as

>>727648490
Positive review bombing, tendies really don't want anymore Ls after the mario kart, kirby air ride and pokemon disasters
>>
>>727648629
you can't review bomb there though
>>
>>727648490
what is the difference between how people on metacritic and backloggd rate things?
>>
>>727648687
Yes you can.
>>
>>727648718
proof?
>>
>>727648153
Every 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?
>>
>>727648153
these tranny infested game/movie review sites always give 8-10 to sloppiest of the slops because they only consume new releases

>>727648768
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
>>
>>727648153
nintendies are organizing damage control campaigns online
>>
>>727648153
Because 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?

I 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.
>>
>>727648153
Why this game has so much characters?
>>
>>727651615
Tanabe 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%.
>>
>>727648629
I 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 disaster
lmao what disaster, everyone loves this game
>>
>>727652072
Mario Kart is trash
>console war
I 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
>>
>>727651615
why you write like an ESL?
>>
>>727648629
> Positive review bombing to counteract the negative review bombing

Both 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
>>
>>727653039
Journalists have never been credible. The only opinion you can trust is your own.
>>
>>727648629
>using the term review bombing
you're retarded. it's just spam reviews
>>727653039
>Journalists will forever
be irrelevant, ineffectual industry grunts
>>
>>727651812
We will never get another game like the first Metroid Prime.
>>727652971
Probably because I'm a brown indian.

I 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
>>
>>727648629
Kirby 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.
>>
>>727648248
Not with that linearity. Road to the first big boss is just an L shape, and you loop back through an old room once.
>>
>>727653673
never

>>727648153
The game is bad.
>>
>>727656143
Why?

>>727650357
Snowboarding was kino
I felt like I was playing 1080° in my favorite JRPG
unbelievable really
>>
>>727653773
Samus was doing it out of spite
In 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

Stop hating on Snowboarding, faggot.

Maybe 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.

>>727648967
>>727649175
I 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.
>>
>>727652072
Air Riders is good but cmon man
MKW and PLZA are both dogshit
