Was it actually that bad? Not gonna lie, all the gameplay I've seen from it looks straight up fun as fuck
>>737042114>Was it actually that bad?Yeah.
>>737042114>Was it actually that bad?No
It was worse
>>737042114It was literally GOTY 2025 by a long shot. Keep in mind the people who shit on MP4 like >>737042131 >>737042191 are the exact demographic who think Expedition 33 is a cultural landmark, that should tell you about what you need to know
>>737042114You can get a much better open world desert with all sorts of vehicles experience by playing Sandland, an amazing game everyone is sleeping on
>>737042114>Dodging the green crystalsDelaying the inevitable
>>737042252It was ass you, accept it, and take Nintendo's cock out of your ass.
>>737042252brand loyalty fried your brainGoty 2025 was ng4 to everyone who likes videogames
>>737042275I had literally never heard of this, surprisingly it looks kind of good. Did Toryiama actually do the art or was it just based on his style?
>>737042252>the exact demographic who think Expedition 33 is a cultural landmark
>>737042114Alpha will be making TikToks in 5 years like>10yo me had a cheese moment>Bro called 'Prime 4' is him>Fortnite caught me in 4K>fr my bubblegum gamer moment>Bro Prime 4 got that dog in him no capAnd this means that Metroid Prime 4 was actually one of his favorite games growing up. He doesn't know how to read or write.
It's clearly significantly worse than the earlier games.
>>737042114>all the gameplay I've seen from it looks straight up fun as fuckI'm sure the 20% of the game that was actually a Metroid Prime game was solid. Shame about the other 80% being a time wasting beige rectangle, MCU reject plot, and idiot characters babbling at each other about nonsense.
>>737042336Its based on his manga
>>737042365Explain in your own words a single way in which it was worse without resorting to buzzwords
>>737042275>>737042336I've actually played it, it's incredibly mid. The Toriyama art is, by a wide margin, the best part. The actual gameplay is excruciatingly repetitive and too simple to get away with it. Extended on foot parts that are just Batman Arkham for absolute babies don't help.It's a sincere game, at least, but only get it on DEEP sale if at all.
>>737042114Yeah>game straight up lies to you ("feel free to go anywhere you want", but then it turns out you can only really go to one place)>padded to fuck (big ass hub with nothing in it that connects the 5 main areas, huge amounts of back and forth because you can only get new beams with Myles, gotta break green crystals scattered around the desert to progress)>level design is linear as hell>almost every area is a fucking escort mission>NPCs are annoying, intrusive and unskippable>bike adds nothing to game, exists solely to make desert travel a bit less terrible>same powers as always but with a different name>makes Sylux worse>somehow manages to also make Samus worse despite her having no spoken linesIt did have some good bosses but MP4 is without a doubt the worst MP game not counting spinoffs
>>737042609>DEEP sale>Nintendo game
>>737042702reading comprehension award
>>737042114It’s ok. It’s not the second coming of Prime 1 like people hoped it will be.
>>737042609I loved it myself.Incredibly atmospheric, I always felt like I was inside that world when playing.Loved the vehicle rpg stuff, really fun to build my own mechas and do crazy shit with them.I loved grinding for parts. I also really like the game version of the story. Much more extended and better paced. Exploring those giant ancient spaceships never got old.Man, such an amazing game when you dont got a bitch telling you its bad in your ear
>>737042114loltendies man
I can forgive almost everything (the NPCs, the open desert, etc.) but the one thing that just does not sit right with me is the lack of platforming.Every level is just lots of walking (like Volt Forge - you're just walking through hallways and plunging deep into the fortress with no platforming at all). I don't know if it makes it a "bad" game, per se (definitely had fun, I can't deny it), but it definitely fucked up the Metroid experience.
>>737042114It's worse than I expected. And I expected a disaster. Dunno what nintendo is smoking for approving this turd.
>>737043170Like I even commended some of the things you do while walking (like the lasers in the bike assembly line creating different patterns dynamically that you have to respond to with the right movement option) but it's still a lot of walking and no platforming.
>>737042114Any game that tries to ape Hollywood with foreskin helmets is bad.Faceless humans or bust.>>737042607It has a linear level select for scripted, on-rails levels that staples cookie clicker tier idle "gameplay" onto itself to pad out runtime for another couple of hours, just like every other open world game.
>>737043170>nooo why doesn't the game about Space Exploration and combat play like my bing bing wahooThis is the caliber of person who calls Prime 4 "mid"
>>737042252Tendie fatigue post
>>737043773As of 2026, most Metroid games are pretty linear. The crusty ass NES/SNES era ones are the exception along with Prime 1 and 2(and even then, 1 only really has the veneer of non-linearity)
>>737043805>series gives you several tools for getting around disconnected platforms like double jumps, grapples, etc.>being disheartened that those features go to waste by level design that embraces none of them
>>737042114Yeah it was dogshit, besides Crimson Desert shits all over this garbage lol
>>737042114It's solid, good not great. But Snoy trannies infest the board, probably are even jannies, so they swarmed to create a narrative of "muh worst game evar".
I thought it morphed from an 7/10 to a 5/10 at times and felt more like an underbaked concept than an offensively bad game. Game is best played with voice acting down to 0.
>>737042114>fun as fuck>webm of mediocre bike controls with an empty, low-res desert mapBuy an ad tendie
BUT WHY AM I BEING STUPID FOR TRYING TO DEFEND MY OWN EXPERIENCE WITH THE GAME?
>>737042114I'm about an hour into the game right now, feels like I'm still in the tutorial, and my answer is yes. It's bad so far. I hope that it gets better before I sell or give it away.
>>737042171This. It was and is fun.
>>737047010I can explain why it's bad.Can you explain why it's good?
>>737043880Prime 2 had solid gameplay even if it was a highly linear game.
>>737042114>from the woke DEI cucks that made Halo 29601783It‘s even worse
>no one posted that auto pilot desert segmentman you guys sucks
It's far from bad, but you also have to really force yourself to call it good.It plays like a Metroid Prime but it doesn't give you that impression in the long run.At first it's just little things you can ignore, but then you start noticing the blueprints of the game and it starts to fall apart. And the final push is arguably worse than the usual artifact hunt.
>>737042275>game sounds cool>look inside>egregiously Toriyama art>do a 360 and walk away
>>737050156I found Prime 2 really annoying to play. The dark world is completely unnecessary and makes the entire game feel like you are spoiling an area before backtracking it immediately after. And you do literally no damage unless you are playing black or white with missiles.
>>737042114>all the gameplay I've seen looks fun as fuck>posts the desertFunny bait. It really was that bad. The game has about as much exploration as final fantasy 13, the combat is the same lackluster combat that the prime games have always had, you're not allowed to get immersed in the world outside a few sections because of the AAA radio chatter, the writing is downright terrible and sounds AI generated (i.e. every single line is either generic and obnoxious quip dialogue or stilted tutorial/handholding/exposition); it's a game where every positive aspect is copypasted from the first metroid prime, and everything else is constantly at work to undermine and mitigate the enjoyment of those strengths. Even if it wasn't that bad, it's still not good in any conceivable way.
>>737050230>bungie makes some good games>all the talent that made their games goid is forced out and blacklisted from the industry>bungie's new leadership gets worshipped by the industry while they give GDC talks about being careful not to make their game good>343 makes three terrible games, fires the entire studio every time because it's terrible, and somehow these developers are highly sought-after to work on high-profile releasesThe games industry is wacked right now, has been for two decades
>>737042627>same powers as always but with a different nameyou mean "with the same name but "Psychic" added to the front".
sex with balls
>>737042114My bro is an autistic nintendie fanboy that defends any kind of nintendo decision actually said it was a bad game. Like he thinks breakable weapons from BotW was good, shit like that (I'm not saying BotW was bad, I just think breakable weapons are dumb and it's a point of contention when people discuss nu-zelda). If a lifelong fanboy like him says MP4 was bad, I can only imagine it's probably near irredeemable garbage.
>>737042252Lmao. Mogged by rift of the necrodancer and silksong. KYS braindead casual movie shitter
>>737042114It's nothing spectacular. It's a MP game. You get immersed in the world via the scans. But let's not pretend as if the other MP games were amazing either. Solid 7.5 but deffo not GOTY
>>737043805>>>/tv/
>>737050585No need to announce your faggotry
>>737050585Toriyama vehicle and mecha designs are incredible though
>>737043805>nooo why are you complaining the game franchise famous for movement with an athletic & acrobatic mc is linear and flat and boringThis is the caliber of person who calls Prime 4 "good"
