Thread 713052372

It's going to be boring and underwhelming, isn't it? I can already feel it.

>>713052372 (OP)
If you are a tasteless contrarian, sure.
If you have taste you will know its kino. My prediction is it will be the 2nd best prime game.

just something you play once and forget. kinda why AAA don't make platformers now.

Yup. Just goes to show how Nintendo should never let non japanese devs make their games. Bananza stole all of this game's hype and then some.

>>713052779
>just something you play once and forget.
This is exactly what it's going to end up being.

>>713052779
>>713053652
You two have never played Metroid games

The era of games made by human beings for human beings is over. Every single one of you deserve the most painful life and death possible.

>>713053874
metroid fusion was one of the first games i got obssessed with back in 2004 on the family pc with emulator. never said beyond was gonna be a shit experience but times and expectations change.

>>713053874
I played Metroid Prime 1, Echoes, Corruption, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, Zero Mission, and Other M (I haven't played Dread yet). From what I've seen of Prime 4, it's going to basically be a one and done experience. Maybe two back to back playthroughs, but that's about it. Hopefully the inevitable Direct changes my mind, but I don't think it will.

>>713052372 (OP)
No, I dont think so. I think Nintendo is pretty clearly invested in making sure this game is going to be great. They wouldnt have bothered with the very public development restart if they werent committed to putting out a quality game, they would have just put a stinker and buried the series.

>>713054495
If only they were invested enough in it to give it a release date already

Worst case scenario I play it once and don't think much of it afterwards. It's made by Retro and still features the same Prime 1 engine, just tuned up. Off that alone, chances are more likely than not that it'll be better than Corruption. It looks to have a great deal more effort being placed into making it "right" than whatever the hell Dread was, especially given that they restarted the project from scratch.

>>713052372 (OP)
This is the most interesting game nintendo has revealed since breath of the wild and they've only shown the first hour or hour and a half of it so far

>>713054808
Just have patience, theres almost certainly a general direct next week if history is to be repeated and Dread was released pretty quickly after being given a date.

>>713052372 (OP)
It looks a lot better than dread and dread was pretty good aside from the stealth sections which prime 4 doesn't appear to have

>>713054960
I hope you're right. I really do. Part of me is thinking there's no way they're that stupid to just have Splatoon Raiders and DK when there's so many games they're sitting on without release dates, but then I remember this is Nintendo, who just can't be normal

>>713055318
I can see nintendo trying to push that faggy app no one wants to use (like all their other mobile bullshit) by incorporating more pre-release stuff on it

>>713052372 (OP)
Should i play its predecessors before this releases? Ive never played a metroid prime. I've also heard you can emulate and play it on pc with m&kb is that worth doing?

>>713052542
>If you have taste
Then you don't like Metroid Prime.

>>713052372 (OP)
yes

2D Metroid > 3D Metroid

>>713055448
yes they are all great, even prime 3 which isn't as good as the first two. If your concern is about story, it doesn't matter at all

>>713055490
the only 2D metroid that reaches the level of the prime trilogy is super (honorary mention to ZM for nibbling at prime 3)

>>713055448
Definitely play Prime 1. It's one of the best Metroids and it's a fair bit cheaper than most other first-party Nintendo games, especially Mario Kart. Though if you want mouse controls before 4, Primehack's always an option

>>713055448
>I've also heard you can emulate and play it on pc with m&kb is that worth doing?
Yes, look up Primehack. Its a great way to play the trilogy. If you have a Switch I can also wholeheartedly recommend the Prime 1 remaster.

>>713054808
i wonder if marketing determines a random stealth drop for these types of games is best

>>713055448
primehack/MKB is good if you don't have an alternative method or can't be assed to get controls going, morph ball control is kind of fucked up though so if you can get a controller going I'd recommend that (precise aiming is heavily de-emphasized in the prime trilogy)

>>713052372 (OP)
Despite /v/'s efforts, nothing will ruin my excitement toward this until I play it and it sucks. It's more Metroid Prime and nothing less.

>>713055607
If they had remasters of 2 and 3 in the pipeline, there's no way they wouldn't shadowdrop them. Not saying I wouldn't like that for Prime 4, but the fact that it's a new game instead of a rerelease makes it a lot more likely to have a release date set and at least open preorders from that point until the game comes out

>>713055857
I'd be shocked if they don't drop 2 and 3 as a bundle. I expect them to be straight upscales, unlike the first game. No way they'll remake both together.

>>713055994
Upscales are more likely, especailly if it's both of them, it's less work for Retro. If they were remasters, I'd have no doubt 4 would be much later than Nintendo is planning it to be (even if I think its chances of making it this year are getting slimmer by the day anyway)

I definitely need to see more proof that they know what they're doing with the psychic powers. Not cconvinced yet that it's gonna be anything other than a gimmick.

>>713056204
What's the difference between a power up and gimmick with metroid

ok guys let me pitch an idea:

LOLI SAMUS

>>713056258
A proper powerup is something that's satisfying to use and has more functionality, as opposed to something that acts like a glorified keycard to access certain areas.

For example, beam powerups that have functionality beyond just attacking enemies, or opening colored doors. Those feel like powerups.

Gimmicks are basically EVERYTHING from Metroid Prime 3. Especially trash like the hyper grapple, which LITERALLY (and I need to state this for emphasis) only gets used twice in the entire game.

Why are metroid threads so shit on /v/?

>>713056323
I think Zero Mission, Other M, and Dread has this already

>>713056429
Years of being carpet bombed by the board's biggest losers

>>713055809
Fuck em.

Lock in boys, we ride at dawn.

>>713056376
>beam powerups that have functionality beyond just attacking enemies, or opening colored doors
can you give an example of what you're talking about? 99% of powers in this series either attack enemies, open doors of some kind, or do both

>>713056520
For starters, the ice beam would make platforms out of enemies, which was useful all the way into the late game, since even if you could jump and walljump, it was still a useful feature if you were underwater and couldn't jump to a high ledge. In prime 1 I remember quite a few pieces of the environment that were affected by specific weapons, and it was more subtle than "red door needs missiles".

>Concern trolls got completely BTFO by Bananza today
>Moving on to the next Nintendo game already
Jesus Christ you guys are pathetic. Go play video games instead of screaming into the void about ones you already hate

>>713056629
Ice beaming enemies to make platforms is used like....twice in super. If that's not a gimmick to you, the grapple lasso from prime 3 isn't either

>>713052372 (OP)
Given that Nintendo is barely even showing it much makes me believe it's nothing special. I was more excited for Mario Kart, DK, and Kirby, than I was for this, even the new Splatoon game gave me excitement. This isn't giving me that same hype I had with Metroid Dread.

I just so badly wish they'd go back to the old Prime graphical style instead of this dogshit new cartoon style the MP1 remaster used. It completely destroys the old atmosphere I loved about the Prime trilogy.

>>713056813
Maybe if they had a new trailer (or if we're lucky, a whole Direct dedicated to it) that showed more than just the new gameplay hook and teased a new suit at the end, things would pick up. Just look at what happened with Bananza: A lot of people were on the fence on it before this last Direct

>>713056948
They have to settle on a more cartoony style because nintendo stopped making non-dogshit hardware (prime 3 got away with it because it was still standard definition). The more realistic looking prime trilogy art direction would look shitty on modern Nintendo hardware

>>713056948
That'd mean making whole new assets instead of reusing as much as they could from Remastered and therefore extending development time even further, I dunno what else to tell ya

>>713052372 (OP)
no, trans prime will be woke.

>>713057119
There hasn't been a single reused asset shown in prime 4, the space pirates and varia suit have entirely new designs

It's going to be a paint-by-numbers retread of concepts from the original Metroid Prime games, made by a team that no longer consists of the people involved in the original trilogy, and who have not made a new game in 11 years. It will be mediocre as fuck.

>>713056734
The grapple lasso is different from the hyper grapple. The former had much more use than the latter. it probably deserves an exception to my somewhat harsh rant about Prime 3 earlier, since it does see use in combat, and traversal.

I still don't take back my hate for the hyper grapple, however. Worthless trash.

I'll be happy if it's even as good as Prime 3

>>713057196
>made by a team

>>713057028
I wasn't, DK Bananza looked great from the start, that was just autist complaining about the new look for DK trying to push some hate campaign on the game. I knew it was going to be great the first time they showed it.

>>713057170
We've been over this, she left in 2022 and had all her shit rewritten by 2 contract writers.

>>713056641
>>713057028
I'm still not convinced about Bananza. Still looks too boring for my tastes. Hate open world.

>>713057251
it will be cinematic, and woke, and cinematic

>>713057301
>had all her shit rewritten
source?
you mean the additional support writer that also has pronouns?

>>713057252
God, our AAA studios are so shit now, only indies and AAs can save the American video game development. Fuck trannies, seriously.

>>713057306
Oh yeah, I'm not saying the Direct changed my mind either, I'm just saying in general this is what second trailers do

>>713056813
>Given that Nintendo is barely even showing it much makes me believe it's nothing special
This is the exact mindset I have. I've long accepted that the Nintendo that used to "hold things back for the surprise" is gone, by and large. Especially for a game that has been blue balling fans for over 7 years now and they barely trickle anything out about it even at the Treehouse. The Metroid Prime 4 direct had better be the best Direct Nintendo has done in years.

>>713057306
It's not open world.

>>713057435
Kys

>>713057170
>>713057252
Outside of my complaints with the graphics, I knew something seemed off about Prime 4 previews just in general. Now I know, fucking hell this isn't the Retro Studios I used to know and love.

>you can le go anywhere
>you can le make your own fun
Still not interested.

>>713057435
>Metroid Prime 4 Direct
If they even DO it, that is. I don't really see them doing two game-specific Directs back-to-back from each other. I'd love to be proven wrong in a case like this, though

>>713053371
Americans made the Prime series good you retarded weeb. No one cares for DK (safe soul Odyssey 2) besides ironic lolicons. The japs and Hackurai are the ones who fucked up Metroid with Other M and Smash slop.

>>713057504
they couldn't even get beam lighting work correctly.
beam lighting was fucked in the highly shilled "remaster", as well as tons of other issues.

And that is still the case for this turd, even in the Switch 2 version, which is just ridiculous.

The GAMECUBE could do it, and these turds that are way more powerful can't?

>>713056948
>dogshit new cartoon style the MP1 remaster used
It's just Prime with more vibrant colors and advanced lighting. I respect that you're probably more hardcore about this than I am, but I just don't see it in MPR's case.

>>713057504
Like>>713057196 said, it's basically Retro Studios in name only. At least when it comes to Metroid Prime. Not to say Prime 4 won't be good, rather keep in mind this Retro Studios is different from the Retro Studios you remember growing up who make the original Trilogy.

>>713057793
>and advanced lighting.

>>713058001
What was the reason they gave for this again? Why couldn't the get it to work on the Switch when it did on the Gamecube?

>>713052372 (OP)
I hope Samus gets even more genetically fucked up in this one. It seems that regardless of timeline, every new metroid game adds more genetic soup to samus.

>>713058001
I've agreed with this before and I will again. But broadly speaking the remaster does look better. It genuinely looks like a game that belongs on the Switch. Add the three control options and regional change toggle and it's pretty damn definitive.

>>713054808
>>713055318
Calm your bitch tits, tit bitch.
It'll be the november release.
Why the fuck are you cunts to deranged for a direct? It's week2 of the Switch2.
And we got Splatoon Raiders and a DK B direct. There's obviously more news to come.
Christ alive find something to do with your life

>>713058178

>>713056734
>grapple lasso
I REALLY just want the grapple beam to be permakilled for grapple lasso.
It's far more useful, plus makes way more sense.

>>713058219
The Primes are more consistent in resetting her status quo after they're over though. 1 ended with the Metroid Prime ripping the Phazon Suit off of her (which it then used to become Dark Samus), 2 ended with Dark Aether and the Ing being destroyed, and 3 ended with Phaaze, and Phazon and Dark Samus along with it, being destroyed, so there's no way they won't keep tradition with 4, especially if these games are still between Metroid 1 and 2

>>713057435
Prime 4 didn't seem to have that first-time hype trailer that Nintendo games usually have. Nintendo's been having this major hype first trailer since 2017 going and then the second trailer really pushes the hype. Prime 4's first trailer had me saying "that's it" and the second trailer have me saying "hmm okay...". Gameplay demo also didn't excite me like the others did.

>>713058472
I think with prime 4 making the X-ray visor weak point aiming from prime 3 a base mechanic, there's a good change the grapple beam isn't just going to go back to being what it was before (and after) prime 3. Then again they don't have a nunchuck type controller to push this time around

>>713058341
Well sorry if I've been waiting for this game for 8 years now and I'm getting antsy that we're halfway in the year they say it's coming out and they haven't said jackshit after the fact

>>713058517
Prime 4 is after super given the date we see in the trailer and the presence of mochtroids

>>713057387
IF this does flop, what happens to the Prime series and this version of Retro Studios?

>>713058403
>make her uggo

>>713058621
I certainly wouldn't mind it elbowing Other M out of the canon in that case, but I'm still gonna press X on that

>>713058736
Go woke, go broke.
Retro is DEAD anyway.

>>713058583
Wow gee cool anon.
You are in the same boat as everyone else in this thread.
We all have been waiting since the announcement teaser ages ago.
Why have you niggers just NOT fucking paid attention to ANYTHING else Nintendo has done in those 8 years?
Every major fucking release gets a dedicated direct.
BotW. ARMS. Splatoon2+3. Mario Oddysey. Every Xenoblade game. TotK. Mario Strikes Battle League. Luigi's Mansion3. Astral Chain. Bayo3.
Why the FUCK would Prime4 be magically exempt? THINK NUMB NUTS.
You twats seriously actually need a hobby to occupy your time rather than sitting on shitter or 4chan waiting for announcements.
We've heard dick all on the Kirby FL expansion or Air Riders but I don't see major Kirby fans foaming at the mouth over this.
No news on Tomadachi Life.
Or Drag&Drift.
Settle yourself. Chill out and just wait.
Prime4 will be out this year, and I'd bet as the november heavy hitter.

>>713058876
>1000 cock stare
>post wall uggo wine aunt

I stopped trusting Retro and Nintendo when Prime 3 came out. It was dumbed down baby shit for the "family friendly" audience of Wii. They clearly lost a lot of the talent that made Prime 1 and 2, instead making a dumb soulless shooter because Nintendo forced them.

It's been forever since then so even the last shreds of Prime 1 and 2 talent are gone. It's going to be an accessible, approachable reboot for normies that totally strips away what makes the originals good, just like BotW.

>>713058876
>>713058898
I find it hilarious that they just made remake Samus into Tara Reid circa 2004.

>>713058956
The problem is alot of those games kind of weak or middling in quality, so I'm a bit skeptical.

they nailed the 1000 cock stare, but Tara looked way younger in 2004.

>>713058956

Because Dread was? It only got dedicated segments to itself in regular Directs

>Or Drag&Drift.
Yeah, because they were JUST revealed, unlike Prime 4. Not saying I'm not skeptical of Air Riders also making it this year, especially since we don't even have gameplay yet, but I'm just saying that they need to get ther Morph Balls out of their ass already

>>713058898
She has more jaw in the original. You people aren't real.

>>713059159
>>713059335

>>713058178
It was because the lighting system they used in the remaster was more expensive than the one they used originally. In the original it was very simple so adding the lighting effect on shots was basically free, whereas in the remaster it would be a lot more computationally expensive.

Prime Remastered looks better than the original 90% of the time, some people just hate the idea of a re-release being good though so they treat every flaw as an absolute deal breaker. It's OOT3D all over again

>>713059615
>every flaw
the "remaster" looks sterile, because of the missing lighting.
it's simple as that.

>>713059615
For me, nothing can beat Primehack. I hate gyro and joycons, and KBM just can't be replaced. Prime remastered is a nice second place, but it's still a locked down console game.

Nothing I've seen so far impresses me. The chosen one narrative and operatic presentation by themselves don't feel metroid. Maybe the treehouse live represented it that way for marketing purposes but the style of music and intro sequence at least are in the style of "epic" shooter setpieces. Prime is one of my favorite games, and even though it used a kind of chosen one story it had a melancholic twist: you couldn't save your people. You were alone in every sense, but delved into danger and completed the mission regardless. That's metroid. I'd be happy to be wrong, but unless they're bait-and-switching with prime 4 the tone appears further toward Zelda than Echoes was.

Japanese devs joke that Americans can only make first person shooters.

That being said all games are shit now. It's just that it's hard to fuck up Nintendo games because of how simple they are.

Honestly just buy a steam deck or a mini PC that's powerful enough to emulate 7th gen games. That was the last hurra for gaming.

>>713059715
I honestly feel the same, but if they do get off their ass and patch in mouse control with the new joycons I might convert fully

>>713058403
bottom unironically looks better

>>713059857
7th gen sucked, it was only good from 2005-2009, after 2009 it started to suck hard.

It's called having realistic expectations. But I'd be pleasantly surprised if it turned out good. The same doomsayers said that Armored Core 6 would be bad because muh turn speed. Yet that game blew away all the doomers.

Prime 4 could be a good game, but it waits to be seen.

>>713059935
I never said to not buy a switch 2. In fact I said the opposite...

>>713060613
My expectations are that it'll be a serviceable Prime game, at least on par with Prime 3

>>713052372 (OP)
I hope they fixed the linearity that the previous games were plagued with. Super Metroid is only the best game due to how open ended it is.

>>713060878
Metroid Dread is linear as fuck and even locking you into paths
why would you expect them to change that?
they want prime to sell like Call of Duty.

>>713060971
I chalk that up to them either not wanting to rehash BOTW by making everything le open and le non-linear, or them being unable to figure out how to allow proper sequence breaks without it breaking the game. They already strained themselves just figuring out how to let you get bombs before Kraid.

>>713061121
>allow proper sequence breaks
Even actual Retro considered that bugs and fixed them in subsequent releases.

>>713052372 (OP)
It was a game that needed to be made in like 2010/2011.
It legit feels like a Prime 4 we would have gotten right after Prime 3. Instead we've had ~17 years of game development evolving.

>>713061271
A shame. Non-linearity is frowned upon, unless it's open world nonsense.

>>713061271
and it made the series particularly shitty, it's time for Metroid to have the Breath of the Wild moment

>>713061121
I have also figured out how to get, say, the Cross Bombs earlier than intended with a Shinespark in the area near where you get the double jump

Get a load of this retard

>>713061518
There's quite a few sequence breaks, anon on knows about the bomb one because there's a special cutscene for it

>>713060026

they seem really good, anybody can confirm?

>>713061590
I have the Other M (yeah, I know, it was the only Samus figure at the time), Prime, and Dread ones, and yeah, they're great

>>713061518
>>713061578
Honestly, it'll never top super metroid literally letting you do bosses in reverse order. How they treated power bombs was also much better than in dread.

>you find power bombs early before you're supposed to
>it's just ammo, you can't actually use it yet

Meanwhile I just found out, 5 years ago, that you're not supposed to bomb jump to get power bombs when you go left from Crocomire. That was a completely unintended break.

>>713061673
You bomb jump up there? I use the Shinespark

>>713061775
you're supposed to, anon is just.. not smart

>>713061578
I ended up getting Gravity Suit early by complete accident just trying to get a missile expansion in Ghavoran.

>>713061673
Super Metroid was definitely not designed to be able to do this, it's something that is only possible because of knowledge of the engine quirks that people figured out how to exploit over a long time. Short charge was definitely not intended and neither was gravity jump.

>>713061673
I don't think any official metroid game will top super in terms of mechanical complexity and freedom of progress, which is a bit disappointing. We have rom hacks for that kind of innovation but even then it's often in super metroid!

>>713061775
>>713061891
Oh, you CAN use the shinespark to get that? For some reason I never got shinespark before Crocomire. There's an obscure path I usually used to approach his door from the right, though you have to bomb some out of the way walls that don't look out of the ordinary.

>>713062426
You have to do a really specific walljump in Norfair (specifically the green bubble room) to get it before the grapple beam

>>713062426
Infact, I'm so used to my first playthrough that I keep forgetting that the workaround path to Crocomire is RIGHT NEXT TO the speed booster room. I don't know why I skipped it on my first place, since you don't need it until a little later. IIRC.

>>713062520
The way I always did it was using the secret path in the green bubble room, going downward, taking a right, doing the loop all the way back, getting the wave beam (without grapple beam) then going up and for some reason I just forget the speed booster. Not on future playthroughs, but for some reason I just didn't want to go near that green door.

>>713052372 (OP)
Probably.
I'll love it because its more Metroid Prime, but the early footage shown kind of just looks likes its retreading and playing just as Prime 1/2 did, and the psychic power gimmick is just tacked on to try and give 4 some kind of superficial identity.

>>713061341
Exactly. If the game's not holding your hand every five seconds or plastered with map markers like a Ubisoft checklist sim, devs seem to think players will get lost and cry. Metroid's always thrived on that sense of isolation and figuring things out yourself. But now, "non-linear" has to mean "open world with fifty billion side quests and nothing interesting between them." Give me locked doors and weird item interactions any day.

During the direct when they spent time highlighting opening a door with "psychic powers" it was a huge red flag

>>713052372 (OP)
So what the fuck does he do next? I'm both confused and intruiged by how they make their big villain's first outing him getting his ass handed.

>>713066695
Yeah, when they showed off MKW and DKB and what you could do there, I was hyped but when they showed psychic powers I was hyped at first and then when I saw what it could do that hyped turned into me saying "oh boy...".

sex with balls

>>713052779
Ignoring that you said prime is a platformer aside:
I dunno man, like I buy most of my games at launch and I would much quicker pop in a mario game a few years later then say a last of us or whatever.

Nintendo hasn't made a good game in half a decade. I don't get my hopes up for anything they put out anymore.

>>713067179
I like the theory that Sylux is the actual chosen one and Samus cucked him out of the prophecy by taking the psychic powers first

>>713056641
This is all the schizos can do.

They fart blood about every single Nintendo exclusive.
Then the game comes out and gets rave reviews.
So they shit themselves even more because they can't cope with reality.
Then they move onto the next Nintendo exclusive and the cycle repeats.

>>713052372 (OP)
I just worry it'll feel more like Prime 3 than Prime 1 or 2. I haven't looked deeply into it to be mostly unspoiled but some of the footage really gave me a Prime 3 vibe with how there's dialogue and how one of the bosses(?) was designed.

>>713067606

nah i didn't imply prime was a platformer. to better word it: there is a reason why they stopped making bets on xyz genre. just like how they stopped making 80's and 90's type of games when we were playing ps2/xbox/gamecube.

>>713052372 (OP)
like every other 3d metroid
taking games out of their original design premise should be punished by public stoning

Its been so long it almost doesn't feel real that its actually almost here.

I didn't buy a Switch am I really going to buy a Switch 2 just for Prime 4? I bought Dread/Prime Remaster but played them on an emulator instead of on real hardware, but I think those emulators got nuked since then.

I can't remember waiting this long for a game before and it finally coming out and being good, like part of me associates long dev cycles with games that ended up being massive disappoints like Duke Nukem Forever and The Last Guardian. I played Prime 3 when I was just out of Highschool, I'm a middle aged man with teenage children now. That's how long its been since the last Prime.

What opinion is that? The one where you completely discard game journos and declare that a game is shit, even though five seconds ago you were jerking them off for praising Zelda? Does THIS look like a game so bad that it "isn't fit to lick the shit from another game's boots"?

>>713071132
I own the Deluxe Collector's Edtion of Elden Ring. I suspect you do not.

Elden Ring is great, and I highly recommend it to Switch 2 owners when it lands on the system later this year.

But for a game clearly influenced by BotW, arriving years after BotW, on far more powerful hardware, it's pretty embarrassing how completely lacking in the game design sophistication BotW has.

By your logic, if you're saying you approve Elden Ring's metacritic score then you also have to approve BotW's metacritic score.

So yeah, choke on that. I'll just keep enjoying great games.

I usually trust Asmongold's opinion and he wasnt particularly excited about MP4. So i guess I will save some paper and pass on this one.

>>713071293
You have such a knack for lying. If you liked elden Ring, you would by no means EVER describe it as a game that "isn't fit to lick the shit from another game's boots". Incase your english isn't up to par, that is not a compliment, especially one you would make multiple times in a row. But I'll entertain you and assume you have played it. What if someone considers Elden Ring to be a better game than BOTW or TOTK? Is that such a horrible sin that you have to accuse people of being shitposters and schizos and trolls? Is it really wrong to just disagree with the paid game journo masses?

>But for a game clearly influenced by BotW, arriving years after BotW, on far more powerful hardware, it's pretty embarrassing how completely lacking in the game design sophistication BotW has.
Well, Terraria and Minecraft BTFO every Nintendo game in the past 20 years, but you don't see me going around and saying things like "Metroid Dread isn't fit to lick the shit from their boots". Because that would imply that I hated the game, because to anyone who knows english, that's not a compliment.

>By your logic, if you're saying you approve Elden Ring's metacritic score then you also have to approve BotW's metacritic score.
I see you missed the point that it was a hypothetical. Game journo opinions mean nothing, and anyone who listens to them is an idiot.

You constantly lie, so I doubt that.

>Terraria and Minecraft BTFO every Nintendo game in the past 20 years, but you don't see me going around and saying things like "Metroid Dread isn't fit to lick the shit from their boots".

1) Metroid Dread isn't trying to be Minecraft. That comparison is ridiculous. I don't think you understand what video games are. You lump them all into a soup. Gran Turismo is the same thing as Final Fantasy Tactics in your head.

2) no, they did not BTFO out Nintendo in any shape or form from a game design perspective. You'll free to think so. But you'll that absolute fucking nobody on the planet, with any degree of intellect or understanding of video games, will agree with you..

You don't ownna Switch 2. And you're jealous because you can't play its games. So you will spend the next decade seething about Nintendo exclusive.

>>713071759
unfortunately you propagated it by shitting on every non-nintendo game to ever exist. You called Expedition 33 "woke french shit" because it wasn't switch exclusive.

1) Terraria isn't even 3D, so comparing it to something like BotW is ridiculous because the experience of playing these games is nothing like each other.

2) Minecraft, while I can see the relaxing appeal for ADHD kids, does not offer me the kind of Tolkienesque high adventure in a fantasy world that BotW does. Nor is the open gameplay or systemic world as complex or fun to play in.

3) both Terraria and Minecraft are procedurally generated. Which is even further down a cultured sophisticates palate than AI slop.

>>713072146
>1) Terraria isn't even 3D, so comparing it to something like BotW is ridiculous because the experience of playing these games is nothing like each other.
Zelda 1 and 2 aren't 3D either, and yet you swear up and down that BOTW is practically a clone of Zelda 1, because of how similar they are. You can't pick and choose when it's okay to compare 2D and 3D, either it's always or never okay.

>2) Minecraft, while I can see the relaxing appeal for ADHD kids, does not offer me the kind of Tolkienesque high adventure in a fantasy world that BotW does. Nor is the open gameplay or systemic world as complex or fun to play in.
Those are entirely opinions. Stop trying to push them as facts. Plus, "complex" is the last thing I'd use to describe BOTW. I'd say more tedious and bloated.

>3) both Terraria and Minecraft are procedurally generated. Which is even further down a cultured sophisticates palate than AI slop.
Then you might as well condemn the entirety of the roguelike and roguelite genre too. Heaven forbid a game utilize some kind of randomness to keep playthroughs fresh. Meanwhile, you play BOTW and then that it's. It's boring and predictable, so why go back to it?

>>713072314
>Zelda 1 and 2 aren't 3D either, and yet you swear up and down that BOTW is practically a clone of Zelda 1, because of how similar they are.

BotW is not a remake of Zelda 1. Otherwise it would be 2D.

You keep trying to distract from the fact you don't own a Switch 2, and are jealous.

Your distraction tactics won't work on me. I will keep.reminding you.

>>713052372 (OP)
of course, it's a metroid game

>>713072410
>BotW is not a remake of Zelda 1. Otherwise it would be 2D.
Then stop comparing them. You're the one constantly swearing up and down that BOTW is the closest we'll ever get to Zelda 1, even closer than LTTP, which is a 2D game.

>>713072476
Nope. The comparison and connective design philosophy between Zelda 1 and BotW was immediately apparent to any with functioning brain and basic understanding of video games.

You can draw straight line out from Zelda 1, through 30 years of game design evolution and 3D emergence, and you would land on something pretty much like BotW. It was clearly a deliberate conscious attempt from Nintendo to "full-circle" back to the open exploration/discovery gameplay of the original. More so than any game in the series.

You can't process a thought beyond the superficial. This is why you'll never grasp this and your seething jealousy will never let you accept it.

You don't own a Switch 2. And you're jealous.

>>713072769
>Nope. The comparison and connective design philosophy between Zelda 1 and BotW was immediately apparent to any with functioning brain and basic understanding of video games.

Wrong again.

I can compare Terraria and Minecraft as being similar in their design philosophies even if the experience of playing both is nothing like each other.

Because one is 2D and one is 3D. You're not even using the same parts of your brain when playing in 2D.

You don't own a Switch 2. And you're jealous.

Then I can compare Terraria to Zelda in terms of design philosophies. Why is this so controversial to you?

From the looks of it, Zelda cares more about size and quantity, and is absolute garbage in actually delivering content. 700 "push block into hole" puzzles definitely aren't deserving of accolades.

At least Terraria lets you skip the tutorial. hehe

It's gonna suck and I'll still buy it for $80.
