boy I sure love backtracking through hallways in a segmented game world

the pacing in prime is perfectly fine

>shows equally shit game
what did she mean by this

>>713356242
Symphony of the Night aged like milk compared to games like Nine Sols or Ender Lillies.

>>713356850
Nine Sols is a linear action game in disguise.

>>713356850
those games both have awful level design, nine sols is carried by its combat and ender lilies is carried by its soundtrack and atmosphere. Both are really good but they fail at the metroidvania genre hard

boy I sure love complaining about video games more than playing them

>>713357060
I complain inbetween roguelike runs.

>>713356850
ender lilies is mega trash so idk about that

>>713356114 (OP)
Retards like you are why every Metriodvania, Adventure Game, Action-Adventure, and Action RPG now is a linear hallway with little to no exploration and checkpoints everywhere. Your kind ruined level/world design in multiple genres.

>retards like you the one who doesn't enjoy this shit
make it make sense

What's with the Prime hate threads? Not that I mind, the game is overrated and needs to be taken down a notch. Did some scrub try to play it in preparation for Prime 4 and got filtered?

>>713357487
n-no…

>>713357487
devs came out and admitted to padding the game out to waste the players time. elevator cutscenes, placing the ice door on the wrecked ship right after you get ice beam and placing gravity suit all the way back in phendrana drifts, routing the player back and forth through the same hallways, placing boost ball in phendrana drifts space jump in talon overworld and wave beam in phendrana drifts in that order, dotting the world with 12 triforce shards locked behind the last ability upgrade,

>>713357392
It's funny, I'm in a server for an indie game and the devs are all like "we need players to know what they're supposed to do" and they had it tested and some low IQ retards couldn't figure out what to do and took their feedback and made it more handholdy as a result, and I'm like
>"if I ever get these guys on board for my project I need to clearly stress that I get veto power over every decision and that I'm not gonna compromise my vision for the lowest common denominator"

>>713357640
The elevator cutscenes are annoying, yes, but I never minded the artifacts, the one you have to bomb the walls for and you end up in a place outside the map full of waterfalls is high kino.

to be fair, they did it first

>why yes, I love when my video game feels like a chore. what gave it away?

>>713357640
The game isn't actually loading the next level in the elevator cutscene?

>>713358651
god no, areas load as you approach a door

>>713358723
Man. I was lied to.

>>713356114 (OP)
This but unironically cause i enjoy playing games.

>>713359410
Based enjoyer

>runs through magmoor cavern over and over and over again because the world's interconnectivity is shit
>goes all the way down to the bottom of a level, only to be forced to turn back and go through magmoor cavern again and go somewhere else

>>713358568
>cuckstrayans

lmao

I almost dropped Prime 1 when I got to the bottom of the sunken ship only to be forced to backtrack and find the Gravity Suit. But then I dropped Prime 1 for real when the exact same thing happens at the very bottom of the Phazon Mines with the grapple beam points.

It sucks. There's no satisfying flow to the game's progression.
