What would the score be if not for 18 years of expectations and the Myles Mackenzie freakout on social media that primed everyone subconsciously to hate the game?
Without the nintendo bonus it's a solid 65-70
>>727710482It has gamecube graphics, shit gameplay, horrible story and characters. I would say a solid 7.0.
60
>>727710567This. The game game has taken metroid as an idea and fundamentally ruined it with open world shit. It's a big fat shit on the genre that is its very namesake. If it weren't for Nintendo's name being on the box it would be getting 6/10 reviews.
>>727710664Art direction matters more and it's 11/10.
>>727710806Oh, yes, I forgot about the neovagina architecture and funky colors. 6.5 it is.
Metroid should be a solo isolated experience there shouldn't be goofballs talking in your ear all day.
>>727711123Prime is to Alien 4 as what 2D Metroid is to Alien
>>727710482Need to subtract the 50 point Nintendo bonus, so 30. And the 10 point "portability" bonus, so 20.
