Metroids not a big brand and bad word of mouth. Even if this game was the best game nintendo had ever published it would still only sell like 4-5 million at most

People won't buy shit if it's not appealing. That's the difference between Fire Emblem Three Houses selling 4 million copies and Engage not even selling half of that.

And none of these screenshots can capture the desert bike sections. The game requires nearly an hour of collecting "Green Crystals" (that is what they are called in game) in the desert to just proceed to the final section of the map; even longer if you want to go for 200% collection and get the last suit upgrade. And that's if you've already been fairly diligent, but not thorough, picking them up on the previous times the game required you to go through the desert. The desert is almost entirely empty, with only about 9 total points of interest/collectables.

Isn't the whole point of Metroid and the Prime series especially isolation? Why did they pair you up with a b7nch of needs at all times

Boring and a slog to get through. They should just make Samus have her own third person action game like Other M but good.

Should I still play this game? I enjoyed Prime 1-3 but good lord everything about this game just sounds so unappealing.
>>
>>740656549
I can't recommend it if I'm honest, I was just pissed after I finished it because there were so many fucking issues with the game. It runs well, looks nice and has good music, that's about it. Guess some bosses are fine too, but it's so far away from the first three games game design wise that it'll only make you angry if you enjoyed the three of them

this is them trying to take the franchise mainstream to 10-15m sales

Its the Marvel edition of Metroids. Looks very nice, but is full of constant quipping and chatter. If you played Metroids for the feeling of exploring lonely and somber worlds, you're not going to enjoy it. If yiu want to just shoot stuff, its ok.

It was in development for 7 years. It was following trends that were popular in 2018-19 instead of showing more confidence in its heritage. Story on nu-tendo in a nutshell, honestly.

expected for tendies.

Its a switch 2 game.

What with snoys obsession with this game?

So bad people are still saying metroid prime trilogy

>MS doesnt respect Halo and kills it with Infinite and PS5 release of CE
>Nintendo doesnt respect Metroid and kills it by shitting out the scraps of a failed project stitched together by ex-343 employees at retro
>ID respects Doom and continues to create outstanding Doom games
Doom will always be the superior cool-helmet shooter.

It didn't fail, it sold on average the same amount all Metroids tend to.

It failed shill, let it go.

It broke a million across two consoles, so, you're dumb

This one. Nintendo isn't interested in expanding the brand so most age-appropriate gamers aren't going to have any connection to it. I wonder if someone over there isn't still seething that Federation Force didn't pan out.
