Just beat the first three Metroid Prime games and I'm wondering, can 4 really be worse than 3? I'm gonna buy it anyway, but I find it hard to believe they could make it worse than this.

2 > 1 >>> 3
>>
I thought 4 was better than 3 but not by much and neither of them are anywhere near 1 or 2.
>>
>>730614678
Yes 4 is worse than 3. There's no question.
>>
>>730614678
>2 > 1 >>> 3
what is this?
a correct opinion on /v/?
>>
What is it that people misunderstand about 3 that prevents them from seeing it's better than 1?
>>
>>730614678
List out your issues with 3. I'm almost certain that 4 has them all (outside of motion gimmicks) done worse
>>
>>730614678
Dunno, I played prime 4 for 2 hours before quitting. From what I saw it seemed better than prime 3 but I never got to the shitty bike stuff and I did beat prime 3 without quitting

The worst back tracking in the series, I'm talking go back to a previous planet for 1(one) thing all the way in the furthest part of the map just to go back to the previous map, travel through 10 more empty rooms, and finally continue the story
Skytown looks cool when you enter it, but it's a huge slog just getting around it's shitty rail systems
MP4 sucks, BECAUSE its a sequel to MP3

On top of that the areas are more linear, the NPCs are more intrusive (think the Space Pirate raid section but every area has at least one, two of them comprise basically their entire respective areas), the open world which I'm sure you're aware of, the bike is even worse than the ship.
A final note is that backtracking is at its most annoying in Prime 4. If you thought the ship was bad wait until you have to backtrack through the empty desert between every single area, with the areas themselves being essentially a straight line with at best one (hidden) shortcut that takes you from the entrance to the deepest part

Wii Pointer aiming + Nunchuck is some of the best FPS controls ever made.
And with the exception of some instances of the wagglan motion detection being spotty, most of the motion controls are fine.
I feel like Prime 3 filtered fat people who don't like moving their arm slightly.

It's the exact same as Prime 2
>>
>>730620021
Prime 3 has some cool motion controls (swinging the nunchuck to rip shields off or use the grapple, the control circuit soldering minigame, anything requiring a vertical tilt of the wii remote - levers, spring ball, etc.) and a handful of shitty ones (twisting or pumping sometimes doesn't read correctly).

I am convinced this filters fatasses and that's the only real reason the game is hated compared to Prime 1. They're basically the same game.

MP3s are audio files, mainly for music. No video.
MP4s are video files that also play audio.

Hope that helps

>>730620909
>They're basically the same game.
Multiple anons have explained at length how it's a worse game, you're just an illiterate retard or a (((narrative pusher))).
>>
prime 3 at least has a labyrinthine structure sometimes and enforces some problem solving wrt map navigation. it's kind of a pain in the ass but it's definitely there unlike 4. 3 also has some good bosses, and the least annoying endgame by quite a bit whereas 4's endgame is the worst of all which is truly amazing how they managed to regress so far on something as simple as "don't put a massive grind wall at the very end of the game to pad length"
>>
>>730620909
>>730618705
Creating a strawman doesn't make your opinion correct. Motion controls in Prime ARE good, the fact every interaction has to involve them, most are the same thing too, just halts the game. Traveling from planet to planet should not involve 5 inputs.

I’m biased towards 3 because I was one of those weirdos who REALLY liked the Wii controls.

>> Bad combat with bullet sponge enemies, clearly made just to pad out the game or to conceal long loading times
Prime 3 has better combat than both Prime 1 and 2. The only reason you'd think the enemies are bullet sponges is if you were playing like a retard only using the beam, and not experimenting with anything. There are tons of different interactions with the weapons and abilities that Samus gets.
>>
>>730625789
No, you were actually just bad at the game.
Also, not that the relative judaism of a game should matter, but Prime 1 was directed by a jew, where Prime 2 and 3 were more Japanese produtions.

For some reason there's this insane bias towards Prime 1.
Seems like it's the same effect Ocarina of Time has where both games were MASSIVELY OVERRATED by the press at the time, which generated this intense cult-like following for both games.
Prime 3 is a straight up improvement over Prime 1 in many ways. Yes a downgrade in some ways, particularly its focus on cutscenes, but it is not at all a clear cut "Prime 3 is the worst one because it has more cutscenes" situation.
Objectively speaking, the only thing that's really "wrong" with Prime 3 is Hypermode being overpowered.
It is a much, much more fun game to replay and backtrack through than Prime 1. The combat is better, the controls are better, the art is better, a lot of the level design is better, it has some of the best bosses in the trilogy...
Prime 2 only beats out Prime 3 by having fewer cutscenes (ie. a more true Metroid atmosphere) and being harder (particularly having some better puzzles and use of Morph Ball).

And yet people will tell you Prime 1 is the better game for no other reason than nostalgia + fat gamer hate of motion controls.

4 is far worse than 3. It's not even a comparison.

>>730628604
HRRRRRRRMMMMMM

The one thing that did improve between the games was the morphball set pieces. Except MP4, that one might be worse that MP1.
>>
>>730628604
I don't think every jew is a demon. Judaism seems like a system that allows very bad, very vile people to thrive, but there are jews, usually jewish men (see examples like Bobby Fischer) who are just trying to get along and never do anything really wrong.
So yes, it's a horrible system where the extremist jews hide behind normal jews, and that's a real and intractable problem.
But I'm not going to pretend every jew is secretly a demon in disguise. That's like saying all black people are soulless or "blue eyes are demonic ngl".

Now type the words "I renounce the Talmud" instead of trying to weasel out of it.

You never renounced the Talmud.
Also, no I am fully Caucasian/European, and as far as I know, fully human too.

I'm also not going to pretend there aren't good and bad people of every race. While Europeans are generally more intelligent and empathetic on a far far greater average than many other groups, it's not as if they can or should be clawless little angels.

Seems pretty clear to me. You only think I didn't renounce because you're a pilpulling kike demon.

I noticed you didn't call the kikes demons, though. Is there a reason you won't do that?

Because demons are lower order entities that want to use human beings as vessels.
While judaism seems to do a lot to turn humans into suitable vessels, judaism is not the only thing that can do that to a person, and it's not a rule that a jewish person is going to be bad.

I'm just as disturbed by this kind of thing as you are.
But then you have someone like Bobby Fischer, chess player of jewish descent, who spoke out against judaism and circumcision (called it illegal child abuse, and he's right) and he was ostracized by the jewish community for it.
Stanley Kubrick, also of jewish descent and a chess player (curious), is pretty well known for making his movies about weird elites. Everyone talks about Eyes Wide Shut, but his adaptation of Lolita is even more overt with Lolita running away to Hollywood and hanging out with executives. If he had good intentions and was trying to warn people, it's hard for me not to respect that.
>>
>>730631140
I actually agree that Bobby Fischer is a good man. Same with Eric Klopper, who spoke out against ritual penis cutting. But two examples isn't enough to reconcile you. At some point you have to step back and realize that you're pure evil.

4 is clearly worse. They tried to put in the free aim shit but Switch doesn't have nearly as good motion controls with the gryo and it sucks even more using the stick.

Psh. The layout of Prime 3 is more enjoyable to backtrack through BECAUSE of the ship.

It's better than 1.

Hypermode is literally just analogous to Super Missiles. It's overpowered, but the system itself isn't a problem.

4 doubles down on the worst aspects of 3 despite us complaining about them for a decade and a half (same with other M and federation force) on top of adding an empty open world in the middle. Combat is improved if you give a fuck about that in a metroid game, though.

While the desert is irredeemably bad, most areas in Beyond are also just shitty for some reason or another, and the best one in the game breaks the fourth wall with those goddamn race tracks out of the blue. It's like playing two or more different builds with how disjointed the game feels.

Don't forget the various controls within the cockpit of Samus's gunship. Also had easter eggs from the staff.
