It's time to admit that this was good.
>>728964453...win?
>finish it>hated the ending, thought the game was “alright” though>start a replay of prime 1>have a fantastic time even as early as the chozo ruins>prime 2 is even better than that
>>728964516 ...win what? The lottery of decent releases this gen? Because if we're talking about this game, yeah, it actually pulled it off. Didn't expect to change my tune but damn, it delivered where it mattered.
Yikers bro zoomers don’t know shit of how to force memes
>>728964661This is a 21 year old game.
>>728965092>This is a 21 year old game.Yeah, it looks like it.
>>728965247Looks better than 4
>>728964832>...win what? The lottery of decent releases this gen? Because if we're talking about this game, yeah, it actually pulled it off.
you're in here now
>>728964453Every time I see discussions like these I get reminded of that weird Brick by Brick Mario book in which the author talks about gaslighting himself into liking the live action mario movie because that was his only escaping at the time that distracted him from his parents constantly fighting or something But you guys are grown ass men now, you can enjoy actually good things instead of clinging to a single brand you had to use as parental figure
>>728964453
>>728964453Some parts of it were good, but ultimately the bad outweighs the good by far and large. Particularly the green crystals, which was a major fucking bullshit design decision.
>>728965393Fandom opinions are worth less than the bubble gum stuck to the bottom of my shoe.
>>728964453It was ok but I liked Dread more
>>728965487What 5th gen game is this? I like low-poly.
>>728965393Halo 4 put such a bad taste in my mouth I became a permanent fan of the franchise.
>>728965393CE: Pinnacle.2: Total mixed bag. The story and multiplayer were good, but the game is half finished in many ways. Ugly as sin too.3: really good. Campaign was a bit too short but the Multiplayer is arguably the best in the series.Reach: Good campaign, mixed multiplayer. Ultimately a decent final showing from bungie4: Still looks and plays really good, but it's multiplier suffered from CoD infection. Very much overhated 5: Campaign was bollox but it had some cool multiplayer modes Infinite: Campaign was meh, slightly better than 5 but its pretty clear 343 didn't have a strong idea from the beginning. Multiplayer is pretty good, arguably the best in the series, but its modest player count shows that Halo's claim to multiplayer supremacy has long faded I played CE at launch and the only major change in my opinion over the years was Halo 2's story. I originally didn't like the fact that I was supposed to empathize with the Covenant, but the Aribter's story has really grown on me.
>>728965341
>>728965487Show the rest of the fight, faggot.
>>728965487i still cant quite believe this is real lmao.it is so surreal. the entire game is. like it is some weird metroid game from another universe.
>>728964453it's alright, a disappointment coming off the prime trilogy, even Prime 3 which is weaker than 1/2
>>728967184Based Echoeschad.
Prime 4 was a better Zelda game than BotW/TotK.
>>728964453Super > 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
>>728964453not metroid
>>728969208If there's less "real Metroid" than "fake Metroid" then why should I believe that the fake Metroid isn't actually the real Metroid, and that the real Metroids are actually fake Metroids?
>>728965393I do not remember this being the case in 2007 at all, but maybe it’s because I wasn’t really that active on forums outside of gamefaqs. Everyone I knew irl loved Halo 2 and 3, everyone in the VC loved the game even when they were upset I’d see them again like next week.
>>728969208Real metroid: the 2D ones and other MFake metroid: primeshit
It's kino. You guys were right I love this game lol
>>728965487This was the flamethrower fight in prime 1 except that was put into the game to specifically teach that you can jump attacks.
>>728965487>Posts the best part>Thinks it's an own
>>728969807It's more like the real ones are the 2D ones up to Zero MissionPrime and Dread are westoid fanfiction
>>728970397>fusion>real metroidlol
>>728965092>Ing are such a threat they completely overshadow Phazon
>>728970397the last two non-remake japanese metroids were godawful, bottom of the barrel tier metroidvanias, I would much rather take those "fanfictions" over fusion/other M
>>728969208NEStroid is on the left, zero mission is on the right.
>>728971468ZM has proper metroidvania design. I've heard people complaining about the chozo statues but they are almost all options (only 1 required + 1 not required but opens a shortcut) That said the chozodia post-game is total ass, though you can turn the game off at that point
>>728971549ZM is linear as shit and makes you follow a dot on the map just like Fusion. NEStroid is the only fully non-linear Metroid game and they ruined that.
>>728971772ZM is more linear than NEStroid, no doubt, but still has a good amount of semi-linearity >follow a dot on the mapre-read my point on the chozo statues
>>728971885I'd argue at best it's a hybrid between Fusion and Super. Not really "Real Metroid"
>>728971968it's more like super-lite. The fusion shit is in the post game which I said sucks cocks (like fusion)
>>728969625Excuse me the term is Mochtroid
>>728971968The farther we strayed from the original Metroid the more bastardized this franchise got.
>>728966334Got any more of these?
>>728964453No it fucking sucks.>The first green area is the best looking it's all downhill from there>The desert is fucking aweful>The feds range from uninteresting to annoying>The enemy variety is non existent: the green area seems to have the most, while the rest of the game is mostly grievers and two models of bots. No, I don't count a slight recolor with more health as a new enemy>The desert feels like it's designed by someone who didn't like breath of the wild but put it in for more sales>The new weapons are the most generic ones I've ever seen: fire shot? What happened to plasma beam?>The last two areas before the final boss are long escort missions>The mine area does the "go on without me" trope multiple times, only for everyone to magically be fine at the end >The green crystals are the worst padding I ever experienced outside of rpg level grinding>Because the green crystals and mech parts are limited to the desert, the final fetch quest is mutually exclusive with picking up items you missed or didn't have the right ability for at the time, as almost all those are in the actual areas>Sylux has no development whatsoever, his backstory is that he's just an ass hole, Samus never wronged him>The ending is such a massive sudden tone shift I thought I missed a good ending like Silksong. It also makes no sense.>Unlike the original trilogy, getting a post credit scene is not only 100% items, but also 100% scans>The important scans aren't a different color unlike like the trilogy, so have fun scanning everything in case something is important>They forgot that the logbook in the prime games allow you to look at the 3d models of scanned enemies, so that's missing too>Did I mention the desert is padding? This killed replayability for me. I'm not grinding green crystals again.The more I think about it the more I fucking hate it. It's such a massive disappointment.
>>728972645>The first green area is the best looking it's all downhill from therevolt forge looks better and has better level design. Ice belt has better level design too
>>728972763Yeah the ice and volcano areas were the highlights. Idk why people keep repeating this falsehood that the starting area is the best looking one, I thought it was the most mid
>>728965092Uncs fr be like YOOOOO THESE GRAPHICS FIRE
>>728972645every area aside from the desert is gorgeous, other than that agreed
>>728972763and flare pool is the best looking
>haven't played any of the game with sylux in itIs he a good villain? I only got his autistic screeching in this so I don't know the build up. Didn't feel as a cool as Raven beak but was funner to fight than Dark samus echoes.
>>728964453For me to poop on!
>>728973986He is a stick figure man from a bad Quake clone.
>>728965487hey there acfag/sealiontranny/doug walker.still seething that you doxxed yourself as a porta rican huemonkey nigger poorfag?Must suck to be fully exposed lad.
>>728964453It has good parts but it's absolute fucking ass at its worst, aka the GREEN CRYSTALS.
>>728964661I love how everyone stopped talking shit about the GalFed crew being annoying because they all an hero at the end.
>>728976291Ice belt was my favorite part of the game. Beautiful zone.
>>728976291What a terrible bout of gameplay. Geez, no freedom, no movement, just shooting fodder enemies with no thought. This game is beyond trash. No wonder switchsnoys love it so much.
>>728973986Sylux is a "literally who?" character who they tried to force in as the next big bad whereas nobody really gives a shit. He was in Prime 3, but again who gives a shit?
>>728976487The most heartbreaking thing for me is that there are signs of the game being bigger, better and more ambitious at some point, but something happened to it and it went into dev hell.
>>728976656>better and more ambitious at some point, but something happened to it and it went into dev hellAll the padding and the nonexistent synergy between gimmicks is plenty proof of that. There are finished parts, like the all the little fauna you can scan and the boss fights, which are at an acceptable level and there are completely unfinished parts, like Sylux or that goddamn desert as a whole. All of this, poorly juggled between the NPCs, the bike, the psychic powers.... it's a god damn mess, and a shame.
>>728977178no fucking way
It's all so tiresome
>>728977178This secret was so well hidden lol, haven't seen game design this esoteric since like Super Mario World or some shit
>>728977918Would't have found it if it weren't for the scout bot. It's not a bad idea but the huge overworld just makes it a pain to stumble upon you should just be able to see it by walking around a small room and hearing noises or something.
>>728978025Wait, did you intend to post that video as an L? LMAO man people's brains are so destroyed by the internet now
>>728978157I didn't post that webm, and I kinda like the secret, I just hate it's in the desert.
>>728977918>>728978157>so well hidden>it's just in a giant hole in the desert
>>728972841>volcanono>>728973068Volt forge is better looking, flare pool is tied with fury green
>>728976371I think they're annoying and that the sacrifice at the end is contrived and unearned
>>728980289Someone on the dev team read the prime 2 manga and thought it was the greatest thing ever
>>728972645>Sylux has no development whatsoever, his backstory is that he's just an ass hole, Samus never wronged himThis is good though?
