Metroid general

[Strangolapreti]

Shill Up is a retard, so you should probably not think about anything he says and watch someone else.

Fair statement.

 

[Gossip Avoider]

Skill Up's review of Dragon Age Veilguard was probably the most damaging of them all.
As he is known to cozy up to the industry, him shitting on a darling IP is noteworthy.

So apparently the bald soyjack not only follows you around being annoying and gay but he also shouts out boss weaknesses and puzzle solutions like Atreus in Cuck of War.

Bruh.

Back in my day Metroid had a grand total of like 250 words and it was better for it

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if there was yellow paint somewhere
Also, I guess the main audience for Metroid now, at least according to Nintendo, are redditors and retards. Whoops, lmao, quite a fall from grace. Otherwise, they wouldn't greenlight this garbage.

Just looked at the final boss because I can't be bothered and like with many other games I witnessed, my reaction can be explained with a single image:

Not to be pedantic, but I've seen so much good shit being delivered as final boss for this genre of games that this feels almost like a joke.
I almost wanted to say "still better than Fusion's final boss", but is that really a goal? Being better regard a single aspect of a game that came out 23 years ago?

 

[Jace on ice]

Also why is super cool and not at all gay and lame character Miles McKenzie now the guy who makes all of Samus's tech and armor upgrades?

I'm hardly a Metroid lore expert but I've always been under the impression that Samus maintains and engineers all of her own shit, especially since it's Chozo tech that no one has ever seen before except her.

Because it's 343, they turned a franchise like Halo, which had two major characters(Chief and Cortana) who were mostly stoic and/or serious, into an HBO drama filled to the brim with OC donutsteels nobody gives a shit about. Looks like they're doing the same thing to Metroid now.

The final "boss fight" in Halo 4, 343's first game, was a literal COD styled QTE. Is it that bad here?

Without spoiling, the first half of the fight looked awful, the second half visually was better but I felt like that should have been where it started and then it just kind of ends...

Listening at this rn, I don't know what to think about prime 4 atm.

Just finished watching this myself. It's so funny to compare Dread and Prime 4. Dread expanded in places where the series was weakest. Mainly combat, movement, and increasing the general speed and difficulty compared to previous entries. Bringing Metroid up to par with the modern contemporaries of the genre. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Prime 4 does absolutely nothing to expand the gameplay of previous entries and just clumsily tacks on random shit no one ever wanted. I hope we get some kind of documentary or articles made about the development of this game, because I'm certain it's a fascinating story.

This one image explains why the dialogue is the way that it is perfectly.

Quoting you, since it looks like they failed the music test in a really creative way.
Music in the desert overworld is paywalled behind a $30 amiibo. Otherwise it's just silence broken up by the occasional transmission from the fag squad.

This is the most perfect thing ever. It's impossible to be this bad without striving for it.

I honestly thought Amiibos died with the Wii U, which makes this even better.

I haven't played any of the Prime games so I wasn't looking forward to this at all, so I'm able to enjoy the trainwreck more than most.

samus doesn't make the armor and guns, it's all bird made because it's so advanced humanity can't even reverse engineer.
well, shoulda been but it seems whoever is in charge of this shit obviously doesn't care about anything, i am going to feel now because it's going to sell well on name alone and it's not as terrible to push people away, only a small minority that cared about the game is offended and not the niggercattle and more shit will continue to being pumped out.
Sakamoto won

There are exceptions, like the system in Prime 3 whose name escapes me right now.

I know the GFed are responsible for Samus's Corruption suit, but that was explicitly a rush-job to keep her Phazon levels in check so she wouldn't become another Dark Samus. The fact it was a rush-job was illustrated well by the other Hunters falling to Phazon corruption despite having similar systems installed, and by the fact her own ship couldn't recognize her by the end of the game. The Dark and Light stuff in Prime 2 were Luminoth tech retrofitted to work with her suit. Those are the main non-Chozo tech bits I can remember.

 

[30+GameOvers]

So, Metroid Prime 3 hinted at a Hunters crossover for Metroid Prime 4. Is that even in the game or did they replace them with redditor sidekicks?

The main bad guy from Hunters is in it but Skillup said he's in the game for all of ten minutes and notably is not the final boss so you can't really call him the villain.

None of the federation guys from Hunters or 3 appear in 4, they're all OC doughnut steal characters.

I took a very cursory glance at a full playthrough on youtube. So this is just an impression.

It looks gorgeous on Switch 2, and many of the narrative ideas are strong (similar to plot points from the OG Primes but actually a little smarter)…. Which makes it a shame it could use a bit more work. More bosses, more areas, a better desert, a little tighter writing would all go a long way.

As a Day One Bike Doubter I will add that many naysayers are audaciously lying about stuff.

It's hard to look past things like the marines constantly spouting quips, but as a game it seems fine (if not on the same level as the original trilogy). The psychic stuff is very gimmicky though.

I have 2 questions:
Can I turn off the subtitles so I don't have to see the crimes of these hacks?
Can I skip the cutscenes?
