APOLOGIZE
>always liked it>no need to apologiseFeels good to be a PrimeChad.
I'm sorry you're one of the worst games ever made.
4's better.
>A couple of good games on the sixth gen.>Mediocre transition to seventh gen.>Absolutely atrocious disgrace now.Amazing how many franchises you can name that followed this path.
It's not bad but it's the weakest title, Skytown was atrocious, the animations were terrible, the character design was dumb and Valhalla, who thought it was a good idea to lock the endgame behind thiose batteries
>>728386354Nah, MP3 is still the weakest of the Prime games.
>>728386354>no funny marvel humor redditor sidekickNo buy.
>>728386354MP3 is the cancer before it metastasized into MP4
>>728386354I'm sorry, but 4 is actually better.
>>728386354I always liked Prime 3 but 4 is better, hypermode completely trivializes the whole thing
>>728386740The video game purchase model needs to be fixed, at this point people buy what they think they will enjoy (largely just due to name alone.) We should have a better way to refund.
I always liked it.IR Pointer controls are also completely superior to Gyro, and its a shame we've now lost it.
>>728386354I'll never play this game again because every 5 minutes you come to a locked door and someone yells SAMUS POINT THE WII REMOTE AT THIS AND TWIST YOUR HAND, completely killing the pacing and reminding me that the Wii sucks
>>728387287>that door minigame where you have to pump the door to open itI got it on release and quit when I reached that part, it was so inaccurate
>>728386885I think 4 is way worse. Skytown is way more fun and has a better metroid atmosphere than volt forge or ice belt
>>728386354Corruption wishes it was even half as kino as Echoes
>>728388018lol
>>728387187> hypermode completely trivializes the whole thinPeople say this yet combat is a fucking nothingburger in prime games anyways
>>728386885The same people who locked the endgame behind artifacts in 1 and sky temple keys in 2.
You can tell many people here never actually played the Primehack Trilogy on Hypermode difficulty.
>>728390613there is still just something silly about it in Prime 3 particularly with Samus needing to pull batteries out of unrelated devices in unrelated places just to open the doors on a derelict ship.She can't just ask the Fed if they can spare her some double As?That said I found the battery searching less tedious than the other 2 games in practice. Especially since you don't need all of them
>>728386354Prime series should’ve ended here, it would’ve ended on high note as a pretty good trilogy.
>>728386354...for?
>>728390484Playing Prime Remastered I realized I always thought the Prime series was harder than it actually is because I only played it on the Wii and the free aim with the wiimote makes the game a lot harder, it was incredible how much easier the game is with a hard lock on
>>728390653I did it for the first two, but I'm not sure if I finished 3
>>728386354Super > AM2R = Fusion > Prime 2 > Prime 4 = Prime 1 > Metroid 1 > Prime Hunters > Dread > Prime 3 > Samus Returns > Prime Pinball = Zero Mission > Federation Force > Metroid 2 = Other M
Other M is better unironically save for graphics and music. It's also better than both Prime 1 and Prime 2 save for those same exceptions, but nobody is ready to accept that yet.
>>728392419It requires a special kind of retard to enjoy Other M, and that's if we're only talking about the gameplay, the story and cutscenes are a completely different beast
>>728392419
>>728386354With Prime 3 and OMPrime 4 feels like a complex April fools joke made by a /v/irgin
>>728392057>Prime 4 = Prime 1
Is there a way to play 3 with Gamecube controls?
>>728392057Pinball and Metroid 2 filtering retards, again
>>728393121I have no idea how to progress in pinball, it's the only Metroid left for me to finish
>>728386712>>728387070The most hilarious thing is you both probably are really that delusional.
>>728386740kys faggot
>prime 3 got serially fucked with by nintendo which is why its so flawed>prime 4 got serially fucked with by nintendo to be as much like BotW as possiblehistory repeating itself 18 years later lol
I don’t have to apologize for anything. I always thought it was good and degrees of magnitude better than “farm green crystals in a flat desert for five hours 4”.
>>728394439>as much like BotW as possibleIt has one open area, that's it
>>728392057>fusion higher than zero mission
>>728394934>open world with nothing in it>except for the 1:1 BotW shrines>every area is designed like a Zelda dungeon>new powerups get used for their designated area and then you never use them againI bet 20$ that the bandai version of prime 4 was perfectly fine but was scrapped to be more like BotW after its massive sales numbers
>>728395237>perfectly fineMaybe it wasn't but I'm definitely sure that it was better
>>728386354Done, check your PMs
>>728393083that'd make the game unplayable, too many encounters require you free aim at targets
>>728395237The shines feel so painfully tacted on.They are each 2-3 rooms long with an incredible basic puzzle and zero enemies - outside of the one Spiderball one.
>>728386354Apologize for what, I was there. I bought this on the Wii day 1. You are not like me
>>728392057>Prime 4 = Prime 1I like Prime 4 more than most anons and even I think you're fucking insane.
>>728398014NTA but same. I even double dipped with the steelbook Prime Trilogy. Thank you for your service>>728398150I don't know if these fucks are being contrarian, trolling or are genuine retards.
>>728386354I've always liked itBut I do see it as contributing to Prime 4's problems.
>>728386354Prime 4 wishes it could be half as good as 3and 3 wishes it could be as good as 2
>>728386885>who thought it was a good idea to lock the endgame behind thiose batteriesIt's the same as the artifacts and sky keys. If anything it's better because you don't need all of them
>>728401978I wish Prime 3 was as good as Prime 2, if it was it would easily be the best of the three. Just having Prime 2's level design would improve Prime 3 by leaps and bounds.
>>728389448>make a good first entry>peak with the secondwhy is this so common with 6th gen games?
Is Dread worth playing? I just finished 4 and was pretty disappointed. Is the Prime 1 remaster competent?
>>728386354Apologize to the game which has the same flaws as prime 4 that they clearly learned nothing from? What's wrong with you
>>728403353Dread and Prime 1R are good
>>728386354Prime was always carried by aesthetics and novelty over the actual game design. It's still good, and Prime 2 is great, but Prime 4 sucks because it's chasing the ghost of Prime that has been overrated for 20 years. Everything new it tries is either taken straight from the late Wii era, or is complete dogshit. Atleast after Other M Sakamoto learned his lesson, Federation Force was the worst Nintendo reveal in history and Tanabe still quadrupled down on his bullshit everyone hates.>>728403353Depends on who you ask but generally yes.Prime Remaster is also good but arguably Prime 1 didn't really need it.
>>728386712
If it makes you guys feel better Tanabe is probably retiring soon. There's been rumors that Prime 4 is his last game. Prime 5 will probably be better unless his successor is just as autistic about his ideas
>>728403353Dread was fantastic. It's also a lot of fun to replay and sequence break. It's not quite as broken as Super Metroid in that regard, but the developers knew what they were doing. My only critique is the way Power Bombs are treated to prevent further sequence breaking.Prime 1 Remastered is in fact visually stunning and a faithful remaster.
>>728403898>Prime 5lol
>>728386740It really was nintendo's Halo.
>>728403353dread and prime 1 are fantastic. the remaster is great but there is no shame in playing the originals either2d metroid is a little different, dread and fusion will be more challenging than prime 4. They are much shorter games but more replayable, there is no end game fetch quest like every prime has.
>>728403898
I just finished 3 half an hour ago. 4 really one ups it with the boss fights, only one I really enjoyed in 3 was Gandrayda.Still like 4 more, but it's not by a lot. Pirate homeworld was my favorite map, and 4 it was Ice belt. Bike >>> Ship autism
>>728405986I think the bike can work, I just wish they did it justice. The design challenge of the bike in this game specifically is that it exists to substitute the speed booster in 3d, so it has to feel better or be more fun. Boosting did not need to be that limited, and they should have given it a stronger attack with the green crystal rewards. God forbid we had like one more upgrade on the damn thing that was a little more useful
For a game which introduced more dialog, why not have Samus bond more with her fellow bounty hunters? It would make the whole killing your corrupted friends hit emotionally instead of a "whatever, what upgrade you got for me" from the player.You get Samus reflecting on them in the ending, but like, who cares.
>>728404642Prime 6 should be switch 3 and digital only, hell, 5 might be a GKC if pokopia is a sign of things to come
>>728403898So there's a chance the next paper mario game might be good?
>>728386354>tfw played the demolition team part multiple times until I got through it with no marines lostI feel like I helped indirectly caused this
>>728403898At least Paper Mario might have a chance
>>728386885The Valhalla and the Olympus shouldn't have been separate ships. Having it get destroyed in the prologue and then revisiting it would be neater and thematically consistent with how the other hunters are introduced.
>>728407086why couldnt any escort section in 4 match the end of the pirate homeworld?
>>728407262I see what you mean, but narratively that makes no sense. the writers still need a fleet at the end of the game to raid phaaze, and they didnt want to kill admiral dane
>>728403353Buy Metroid Dread. Buy Prime 1 Remaster. Look up how to get the Space Boots Early (use the morph ball method) if you want to sequence break like the GameCube. Yes, they're competent. Prime 1 rework borderlines on a remake territory. Dread is the best 2D Metroid in a long ass time, it's not perfect, but damn it isn't top tier for what it achieves in atmosphere and action. I'm always in the mood to replay Dread because of how good it feels to play.
>>728403353Dread is good, kinda limited on the sequence breaking potential but it's good.Prime 1 remastered is fun but also super linear even if the progression is a bit weird when you get to Phendrana. I'd say if you like Prime 1 also try to give a try to the GC v1.0 one so you can do some crazy sequence breaks thanks to scan dash, sadly fixed in the Trilogy version and that one is the base of Remastered.
>>728386354I enjoyed it and really liked the ingame planetarium to see what planets you still missed collectable items after mp1 and mp2 had those interactive 3d maps on the nintendo website.I will not forgive it the fucking internet friends connectivity needed to get 100%. Fucking cancer.
>>728407338simplicity, didn't beat you over the head with it, novelty. not requiring it makes you feel more internally motivated to do it and fulfilled when you.
>>728407447>Look up how to get the Space Boots Early (use the morph ball methodSeems like a pain in the ass so I never bothered. I wasted enough hours of my life trying to do the skip in the PAL version
>>728406420Make it go fucking flying as the last upgrade since this game has no fast travel. Or yeah, boost override.
>>728392057Fucking cringe
3>2>4=1
>>728386354For what? It was always a good game, though prime 4 doubling down on its worst aspects is odd
>>728388018>Skytown is way more funLiterally nothing happens in Skytown
>>728403597Game design of the first two prime games are pristine
>>728403353>dreadYes but not at $60. Nintendo hardly does sales but I wouldn't buy dread for more than $30>prime rIt's worth a full $60 yet is discounted at $40 anyway
>>728407867yeah, that was an atmospheric way to do it in-universe
>>728409465you build a fucking nuke, you fight bosses, one of which attacks your ship, it makes better use of screw attack than prime 2 didits got cool spider ball sections, and you get to ram a pack of enemies with boost ball. AND its got soulful music
