Guy could have probably cut the video down to 10 minutes by removing his unhinged tangents and projection.

I'm working my way through Prime 2 on my Gamecube as I never got around to playing more than the first hour of the game for some reason. The ability to ignore the lore text for later like in Doom 2016 is nice. Game seems fine so far but I remember a friend talking about the limited ammo for light and dark weapons being a problem.
Echoes is my favourite of the trilogy. It really comes into its own later on, but at the start it's a bit rougher around than edges than the first game.
 
It's crazy how much the aesthetic reminds me of Halo 4 and 5. The surface on that screenshot is similar to the planet Genesis from Halo 5.
The tropical rainforest section looks like the beginning of the Infinity mission in Halo 4 where the Chief has to locate the crew that crash-landed on Requiem.

What’s funnier is that, when Halo 4 was in pre-release, people remarked how similar the game looked to the Metroid Prime games. The actual reason is that, after Metroid Prime 3, some of the artists and designers at Retro left and joined 343.

boost guardian awaits
pain without end until spider guardian later have fun lmao
 
idk about you guys but this extinguishes any desire I had to play this fucking game lmao
I can't even fathom what it's like to be a huge Metroid fan right now.
I'm just going to play it when it comes out and see if it's any fun. If it's not, I'll just play Metroid Dread again or something, but I sincerely doubt it's not going to be fun. Fuck, I didn't really like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and its sequel, but even they weren't bad per se, just not as good as I'd expected.

Having seen what’s out there on the Mackenzie character, I’m confused about the choice to have this in the game, but not devastated. My feelings are tempered by the fact that “content creators” are currently churning out outrage slop about the character and everyone’s trying to outdo one another on how upset they are. I waited nearly 20 years to play it and I’m not going to change my mind because of an NPC or because of outrage slop. I’ll see for myself.

it's like being a halo fan, and you hear "so we hired people who fucking hate halo to make halo now" for the first time.
I'd say the yellow paint guy is worse, at least 343 had a game plan, "just make halo not like halo, and we'll get cod people" (they didn't)

With miles, what the fuck is the excuse for having him other than just saying Metroid is for retards now?
