What went wrong?
>>736288753Nothing. Snoy just meltied.Next question.
She killed billions
Empty open world, crystals that you're required to collect in the open world, annoying side characters, boring level design.
>>736288881SARGE
>>736288753The game is just outdated. If it came out ten years ago it'd be pretty decent
>>736288753Tanabe was an out of touch boomer who thought Sylux was a compelling villain. Also tried to chase Breath of the Wild money thinking the turn to open world was the soul reason behind its success.
>>736288753>fake sandbox>needless back and forth with Annoying support character (Samus is a bigger Tech autist than Myles)>annoying support character (Myles)>kinda shit story>green crystals
>>736288753The entire design for the game was rushed and badly executed>Make a massive empty hub zone that is mandatory to traverse to get to other zones>Give an illusion of freedom by clearly stating you can tackle the areas in any order -> your really can't and it's complete bullshit>A bunch of shitty npcs that you have to deal with, 2 of the 4 zones revolve around babysitting the npcs through most of the zone>Scan logs are abysmally written>The story is hot garbage even by Metroid standards. It's completely incoherent and pretty much feels super rushed>The zones are completely linear and don't even give you an illusion of nonlinearity. Pretty much just straight hallways all the way through>The empty hub zone is completely devoid of things to do and you need to run back and forth between the zones to install upgrades>That fucking retarded fetch quest at the end of the game where you have to mash crystals with your bike for far too long>The last zone is not even a proper zone and was clearly rushed out. The first phase of the final fight is fucking jump rope + dealing with the npcs>Fewer upgrades than in other Prime games. Adding the word psychic in front of an ability does not make it new if it plays the same as the old oneAt least the performance, visuals, music and gameplay was fine, but holy fuck I was mad when I finished it. Legit 6/10 game
>superadvanced race burns all resources in the planet making a factory that only builds one type of motorcycle>in an effort to regrow all the lost greenery they douse the entire world in uranium>wtffff how are we mutating??? there was no way to predict this Great Tragedy AAAAA Savior save us!!!!probably the dumbest ancient superadvanced race in fiction
>>736288753Modern western game devs
>>736289617>Samus, you need to take the memory seed that is protected by something that requires you to ride a bike at green energy crystals>This way you can take the memory seed into your world so everyone can see how retarded we were
>>736289230Sylux IS A cool compelling villain. But giving him a voice, normal human proportions, and making him yell SAMUS constantly definitely destroyed all the aura he had
>desert is called SOL Valley>planet isn't in the SOLar systemyou could tell the game had incompetent writers right off the bat.
Pathetic level design, and a pathetic story. Fuck those federation faggots
>>736289737Oh yeah, but you can't claim they didn't nail the rest of the names:>Lightning Forge>Ice Belt>Flare Pool>Fury Green>Green Energy
>>736289230Even though Tanabe's stint at Nintendo was bound to end soon anyway, you can't convince me that Prime 4 being an expensive lengthy shitshow wasn't a major contributing factor that moved up his "retirement".
>>736289864>Green EnergyI still can't fucking believe they named the main narrative mcguffin "green stuff".
>terrible linear level design>pointless open world area>recycled spongy enemies >new items underwhelming>constantly have to return to fury green for upgrades>green crystal hunt >extremely lazy lore>crap story and charactersAt least the Sylux boss fights were cool.
>>736288753Map design was lazy as a consequence of it just being isolated branches stemming from a central open desert.
>>736289581I don't get why they think mixing the seed of a psychic tree with green energy is a good idea considering how disastrous green energy + psychic power is.
I still don't get why you needed to return to the base camp to install the beam upgrades other than it being complete padding
this game single handedly killed whatever credibility the franchise still had and proved retro is a worthless dev team
>>736290145I can believe it, because they're no longer the Retro that gave us the other Prime games. They hired some true tardmonglers for MP4 and it really shows.
>>736290303>phase 1 healslut sim>phase 2 is just a bunch of heavily-telegraphed super moves with shitty choreography Nothing about Sylux was good.
>>736288753Metroid Prime Fraud just proves there was never anything there. The fans of Prime got what they deserved for being so incredibly annoying for the past 15 years. No, the prime games were not some hidden gems, they were painfully stretched out back tracking sims with terrible bosses and boring gameplay.
>>736292935people liked the mp remake though
>>736288753>dogshit level design>dogshit nps who are a detriment to the feeling of isolation>bike>desert>fucking green crystalsyeah its fucking garbage, and no amount of fantastic music or visuals was gonna save it
I will never understand people who say that Samus "ditched" the feds at the end. Imagine getting emotionally baited by that garbage forced scenario.
>>736292935MP4 being bad doesn't retroactively make the old games bad, dumbass
>>736293748Same gameplay just with a motor cycle sometimes.
>>736293973absolute fucking retard, why are you discussing a series you have no idea about?
>>736288753Hiring ex-343 devs for starters
>>736289230>the soul reasonlol
>>736288753They had to use the material of the shitty version that they cancelled, and then took up way too much dev time training an entirely new team.That being said, I still enjoyed it.
>>736288959It'd be lampooned 10 years ago too.
