It sold over a million copies, it's now up to snuff with the rest of the series.
What a shit series lmao.
>>738940692OPENWORLDMETROID
it sold less than a million, it did so poorly nintendo excludes it from financial reportsWOOPSIE DAISY LOOOL
>>738940767Would be awesome, I hope they do it with Prime 5.
With the layoffs that just happened at MercurySteam, I've considered Dread the informal conclusion of the series. I'd say it had a good run, but with only 1 good game in the past 20 years I won't shed any tears.
>>738940692
>>738940692Keep telling yourself that Tanabe.
>>738940692It outsold Saros by a ratio of 4 to 1.
>>738940816
>>738940692How annoying are the human characters though?
>>738940692It didnt
>>738941494>bluesky I trust Nintendo's financial reports over a liberal
>>738942590On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being not annoying at all, and 10 being an Aloy or Subnautica Below Zero character that won't ever shut the fuck up, around and a 9.
>>738942590They aren't, everyone's issue is that you can't toggle off the hints Myles Mackenzie gives when you're in the desert.
>>738942739This post was informative thanks. I guess I'm just going to keep avoiding this game for now then.
>>738942739for me is a 7.5-8 just because Tokabi is not as annoying as the rest and it was actually kinda cool, if they waant to keep adding GF marines to the games we need more Tokabis and less MacKenzies
>>738942590Do you remember that stupid plot device in Other M where Samus had to have her upgrades authorised? In Prime 4 you have to drive into the middle of the hub world to get your upgrades authorised.
>>738942739Lol if that’s your 10 then they are 7 at most
>>738944373Even by his own scale it should be lower than that. All Myles does that's wrong is radio you in the desert in 20 minute intervals to say where the objective is.
I remember Prime fans were saying that this game would easily surpass Dread's sales. What happened?
>>738942590It's just Miles in the beginning, afterwards everyone is forgettable at best and pathetic at worst, but never really annoying
>>738940692>couldn't even beat Air Riders in sales or reviewsIt's over, Metroid sisters
>>738940940>1 good game in 20 years>Dread is 2020>Fusion, Prime 1, Zero Mission and Pinball are all bad gameswhy?
>>738941494>between both versionsahahahhahahahahah
>>738944583It was bad
>>738940767It's not really open world. There's like a few things to explore and find in between the area, but most of it is done at the very end and the game even discourages you from exploring the desert too much with the way Mackenzie pushes you to go to the next area.
>>738940767They turned it into OoT, complete with backtracking across Hyrule Field a billion times and about 4 enemy types throughout the entire game.
>>738945432>Fusion, Prime 1, Zero Mission, and Pinball are good games that came out in the past 20 yearsWhat year do you think it is, anon?
>>738945432Anon, I hate to break it to you, but you're an unc. None of those games were released within the past 20 years.
>>738940940>1 good game in the last 20 yearsYeah, prime 3. Definitely not the mediocrity that is dread or the dogshit prime 4
>>738945783It’s more like Skyward Sword
>>738941210>outsold Saros by a ratio of 4 to 1whew, snoys, I... I'm so, so sorry...
>>738941210wait for real? No way that game bombed that hard did it?
>kirbyfags tried to start shit with Mario Kart>got absolutely raped >now trying to start shit with Metroid fansAmazing how they beat Smashfags for most obnoxious fanbase.
>>738940940I'm celebrating though, those fags made two of the ugliest and blandest Metroid games ever. hopefully Nintendo will develop it in house than give it back to some indie tier bs studio. good fucking RIDDANCE
>>738947578>mario kart>kirby>modern metroidLook, a tournament of retards
>>738948179and as always, Sony wins, baby
>>738940767I still can't believe retards were hyped after seeing this retardation. I'm so glad tanabe was told to fuck off, nigger made nothing but slop for over 20 years
>>738946327It's Wind Waker>see that "open world"?>you can't explore it
>>738945492it's true, on Switch 1 and Switch 2 and worldwide
>>738940692Yeah, for 10-50x the budget of the other games.If that $100m figure is true (and it makes sense that it would be, considering the time and manpower spent on it), then it's the most expensive, highest budget Nintendo game of all time, even adjusting for inflation(?)All that just to piss off the franchise's loyal, few fans and welcome a disinterested "wider audience" who never showed up to buy it.>>738944583It was awful, it's a Metroid game clearly made by people who don't give two shits about Metroid or the lore, and all your weapons are just "Psychic Beam" and "Psychic Toilet Paper", unironic recolors that do the same thing they always did instead of introducing new, interesting powers.Also, the second Myles showed up in that trailer, you could just feel every Metroid fan groan in unison and cancel preorders, I know I groaned audibly (then looked online to make sure it was real).Maybe it was a joke, it was trolling, it was AI, an out of date April Fools joke, something, but nope.I know people like to do the "ugh but it's just one guy, stop whining" thing, but slapping someone like that into a Metroid game is something not even parodies do, and from him sprouted the world's largest red flag.I'm being dead serious here, the game cut its sales 75% just by adding him and then having the subsequent trailers include him. The rest of the Feds didn't help either, but Myles alone is like 90% of it.Of course the whole "blank open world desert dotted with Zelda shrines" thing also came along and kicked Prime fans in the nuts too, just to make sure we're in maximum pain.
>>738950134Prime 5 will have a quick turn around.
>>738947967>hopefully Nintendo will develop itLOLOL The gaming industry is going to be dead and gone before we ever get another mainline Metroid
>>738950350>implying there'll ever be a Prime 5
I'm mad this is the only first-party game that supports 120 fps.
>>738951916It will remain this way i wont be suprised if it will remain as only title that supports 120fps lol. Its switch 1 GPU bound title.
Still playing Dread.
>>738940692>Fastest selling Nintendo console of all time>Only sold 1 million
Prime 5 is absolutely happening. Don't kid yourselves.The best way for them to make money back after the dev hell of prime 4 would be to reuse the assets, do a little touchup work, and make a new game with a quick turnaround.
>>738944583>Prime fansThose were Switch fans, at best they only played the remake.
>>738944583I really thought it would because I figured a first person game would appeal to normies more than a classic 2d metroidvania.Of course, the quality of prime 4 being what it is certainly hampered things a great deal.
>>738944583Fucking Tanabe happened
Metroid Pinball seem fun, I need to buy a copy.
>>738945783Oot had pretty good enemy variety for the game's scope, you act like it's fucking botw lmao
>>738942872He's exagerating. Most of the game nobody talk to you. It only pop up from time to time like all the Prime games to hint you at stuff. It's like a 7.
>>738944583I'm a fan of Prime and I had no hope in this game.
The worst part about prime 4's mediocrity is that it brought back the 2d vs 3d divide.
>>738953084Idk what point you think you're making, I'm just stating an objective fact that the older smaller game has more unique enemies so it's a funny point to make
>>738942590You have>The token nerd who can't open his mouth without saying something cringeworthy>The native american guy who the game pretends you're supposed to give a shit about when he's so in tune with nature he literally blends into the background of scenes and you forget he exists until you're looking for upgrades you missed and learn that he had a bunch of throwaway scenes in the open world that you had to sit through for a couple of missile expansions>The fangirl who can't stop gushing about Samus>The most generic black marine guy in charge
Making samus' normal upgrades into "psychic" versions that are basically the same is lame.However, theres a couple instances of psychic upgrades that I think are cool. Its basically just the morphball stuff though.>being able to pick up and chuck morph ball bombs and power bombs by handActually cool power up>Control beamHas the potential for cool moments but is kind of just alright. Using it in boss fights is kinda cool though. >Morphball grapple.SolidThe rest are boring.
>>738940767>Open World>it's not open world at all, it's just a hub area between levels. The game is shit, but crying about an open world that doesn't exist is just fucking weird man.
>>738953619The control beam very much feels like Retro, or Tanabe, or whoever, wanting to do the RC Batarang
>>738953927You're correct. The complaints have sort of taken on a life of their own.however, even the desert being an open hub area is lame.Prime 4 is largely a game that suffers from death of 1000 cuts. None of the things in it is really bad enough on its own to really drag the game down. But everything adding makes each problem greater than if it was on its own.
>>738940692>does not implement melee combat from the mercury games>does not do anything new with the lasso>does not have interesting level design >does not have interesting weapon upgrades, can't even combine beams >no screw attack>no speed booster even though they considered it during development>no cool visors >no actually new abilities past the psychic beam (where's the mind control shit, teleportation or proper physics based telekenisis like most games using this concept?)>no proper enemy variety>no original locations past Chrono Tower>no actual story, just surface level set ups for Prime 5 or the upcoming Metroid movieWhere's the FUCKING CREATIVITY in this God forsaken game? I would have been more forgiving if the whole game looked like those 5 hallways in Chrono Tower but instead we get the BLANDEST Mario overworld blueprint of forest area, fire area, ice area, desert area and mechanical castle area
>>738954094Aparently that power up is what made Tanabe tell the first team to focus on psychic shit as a concept. Problem was that's the only original idea the team managed to come up with.
>>738952889pinball has no business being as fun as it was, I paid $8 and put more than 40 hrs back in summer during hs. felt like I robbed the store by getting such a good deal
>>738954269>None of the things in it is really bad enough on its own to really drag the game downno, they hyper linear level design is absolutely bad enough to bring the game down all on its own.
>>738940692barely
>game has 2 versions>tally up total sold as two different numbers>collectively around 1.3 million was the number back in February>people ignore this because the individual versions haven't hit 1 million
>>738952416exactly, and we will finally get multiplayer
>>738952964>>738953278The enemies in those games act identical.
>>738954269It's pretty good
>>738942590Very. The only two humans that are tolerable is the temu sergeant Johnson and the marksman.
>>738957112Compare it to donkey kong that has sold 4.5 million and yeah nintendo is going to shove it back into cold storage with kid icarus.
>>738944583that was before the bike trailerand then the press previewsand then the release
>>738940816It doesn't show up in the reports because neither version sold more than 1 million copies. The game was released in two versions: one priced at $60 and the other at $70.That probably killed the game.Nintendo might have had a chance to recoup its costs if it had sold the game for around $40 at most...
>>738940816Because they count Switch 1 release and the "Switch 1 game + Switch 2 upgrade pack" bundle as two separate games whose sales are completely unrelated to each other.
>>738952974lmao fuck off retard fucking myles never shuts the fuck up especially in the fucking desertfire this piece of shits writers
>>738944583we didn't know the writers would turn metroid into well that just happened marvel writing wokeslop
>>738940692>>738959943Then it sold less than Dread, which cost a fraction in production time and value.
>>738942872this post is a lie:>>738952974They literally never stop talking.
>>738942840Are you forgetting the two areas and the final boss fight (entire second half of the game) where you have to constantly tard wrangle a group of 2-5 characters at all times?
>>738953619>Morphball grappleI already forgot this existed.
>>738959495Metroid has never sold amazingly it did as expected.Also DK was made in part by the Mario Odyssey team.
>>738952974>It only pop up from time to time like all the Prime gamesWe turn that shit off like the good ones let you, tyvm
>>738952974>driving around desert looking for powerups>open map to see where i haven't explored>HEY WHY THE FUCK AREN'T YOU GOING BACK TO VOLT FORGE?, WOULDN'T IT BE NEAT IF THERE WAS A VARIA SUIT THERE THAT YOU COULD USE IN THE VOLCANO
>>738960713A big thing though is Prime 4 was setting up production costs to make three games in a trilogy though. Dread was already good to go after Samus Returns was made.
>>738961267git gud
