Nah, it was hated just enough that 4 doesn't seem to leaning to be a braindead shooter again.

>>718802293
being a "braindead shooter" was what made it more fun than Prime 1

>>718800398 (OP)
Posted the wrong game OP.

It's still a very good game, the problem is that 1 & 2 are SO good that even a small step down is seen as a cataclysm.

>>718800398 (OP)
>had a lot of plot
Same issue with Dread
Not enough isolation

I agree but /v/ doesn't like hearing opinions that go against the grain (even though their contrarian ways cause them to do so against whatever mainstream opinion they can).

>>718800398 (OP)
slightly better than 2, but a lot worse than 1

dropped it at the boss fight that had multiple orbs switching places and regenerating health annoying as FUCK
the prime games have NO good bosses

>>718802819
the Switch version heavily curtailing Fi is actually pretty solid. still suffers from the first half of the game being significantly worse than the second half and the constant backtracking really making the pacing feel like shit. also flying felt pointless and the sky was small and empty.

that said the music and art direction were excellent and the later dungeons are great

>>718803420
Man. That's embarrassing.

>>718800398 (OP)
I thought it was good. Weakest of the 3 imo, but it was a satisfying ending to the trilogy. Looking back I appreciate it more because of how future game trilogies would crash and burn at their 3rd games.

>>718800398 (OP)
I've only played the first Prime. Are the sequels also scanning simulators?

>>718800398 (OP)
3 is a snoozecore game. Everything in it is just "good" from start to finish and nothing stands out whatsoever. You can play it in a stupor and have the same experience as the person who bought it day 1 and was dialed in.

>>718805697
That was more how I felt about 2. Aside from Sanctuary Fortress I felt better about 1's environments.

>>718805614
Prime 2 goes even harder on scanning. Some bosses have multiple scans when they phase change. There's one that I think has 5.

>>718805381
>fusion in s
2d other M and it's apologists deserve to burn

>>718800398 (OP)
It just needed better music. Rundas theme was top tier, but Prime 3 is a bit lacking in the music department compared to Prime 1 and 2.
>>718803582
I really never had an issue with Fi being "annoying" like everyone else seemed to. I just eventually looked at her as highly intellectual with a hint of autism. The only thing I wish they'd have done in the Switch version compared to the Wii one was making taking off and landing in Skyloft as seamless as the other islands. Just making that not a loading screen on takeoff and landing would have been cool. Also make the Surface interconnected at some point so you didn't need to use the statues, fly into the sky, fly to the beam, jump off the bird, select where to land and THEN finally be in the other region. Or just give a means of fast travel.

Otherwise I really like Skyward Sword. HIGHLY unpopular opinion but I like it more than Wind Waker and much more than Twilight Princess. Even though I still feel that Wind Waker's traversal of The Great Sea is still the best Zelda has ever felt to experience in traversing the Overworld and going to different areas. The music, day/night transitions, the rain dropping off of Link in storms, the camera controls including the "snap back" if you press just right on the analog R shoulder button, feeding the fish to build your map, etc.

>>718800398 (OP)
I think it's overhated for its gimmicks (dialogues, waggleshit, lasso) and underhated for the fact that it's a really unbalanced game where most upgrades are completely useless outside of niche level design

>>718800398 (OP)
I like it about as much as I do Prime 2. I'll take a couple of walky sections or actions segments over dealing with Dark Aether. They also both fall into the same formulaic pattern with progression. although at least in 3 the keys you collect are different for each area

>>718806261
>2d other M
professional retard

>>718800398 (OP)
You mean 2.

3 is hated just right.

>>718806067
Shame. Dog shit series.

>>718806551
>doors lock behind you all the time to force you in a straight line
>shitty monologues that are only tolerated because there's no voice acting
>sub-par music
>some of the worst bosses of the series (this is the series with a fucking flamethrower turret as a boss) the camera is way too zoomed in to allow any dodging with bosses taking 2/3rds of the screen
>can't progress until you see shitty cutscene, that door won't unlock until you see that theres an earthquake!! that larvae wont move until you see that the animals boarded your ship
>none of the powerups are new unless you count ice missiles
>stupid plot about the federation that is never mentioned again

the only good point this game has is SA-X is cool as a concept, but it's AI is fucking braindead so the scare factor wears off real quick
so yes, it is just like other M, but in 2D, all the same complaints, but other M has shitty voice acting and retarded controls

>>718806306
>It just needed better music
MP3 is around the time Kenji Yamamoto started being a music "supervisor" or "director" on games
Weird that there's been a noticeable drop in quality since

>>718806067
>There's one that I think has 5.
The stupid bug one has 5 scans, and a new one appearing feels completely arbitrary

>>718806946
blah blah I'm not reading that shit retard

>>718807827
of course a fusion cumguzzling retard can't read, otherwise he could have read the mind numbing monologues in the game and would have hated it

Prime 2 was so bad that I never bothered to even try Prime 3. I still replay the first Prime game every couple of 3 years though. Thanks for asking.

sex with dark samus

>>718800398 (OP)
It's a good game, maybe even great. It's just coming off the two behemoths that were prime 1/2 so it seems more shitty than it actually is. The extended intro aping halo shit doesn't do it favors, though.

>>718805381
>fusion in S
horrible opinion

>>718806551
>linear as fuck
>filled to the brim with cutscenes that interrupt the gameplay

>barren exploration
>boring as fuck space station setting instead of an interesting planet/planets
>forced handholding
>muh adam daddy figure ruining any pretense of immersion
>obsessed with clones

why the fuck are there people that actually like this game? Like seriously, it took away everything that made metroid good and replaced it with stupid shit yet there are people that UNIRONICALLY look back on it fondly.

Metroid fusion is a terrible game. Image file not related

>>718811418
Reminder they spent the 1st half of the game hyping up "The Deleter" and the GF conspiracy only to can it by the 2nd half of the story. God what a piece of shit game Other M turned out.

prime 3 has the best new powerups since super

>>718811861
You really sounds like you have played neither of these games. Unless this is a bad troll, by which you got me.

>>718811951
>New
Is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Prime 1 and 2 didn't introduce a lot of new stuff (aside from the beams and their super missile equivalents), but what they did was make the powerups fun to use with use cases outside of opening doors. Prime 2's Screw Attack is a great example. Not a new powerup, but the way it works in 3D and the way levels are designed around it make it one of the coolest powerups in the series.

>>718800398 (OP)
An hour of walking and cutscenes, trying their damn hardest to be Halo. I shut the game off once Frozone flew in.

>>718812546
Why is the meta strategy for Nintendo systems is to invest in them for the first few years, then just wait for next gen with enhanced ports?

>>718811418
Don't forget that the combat is also braindead, just face at the enemy's general location, mash the shoot button and let the aim assist do all the work, it's DMC2 guns but for the whole game.

I never used Hypermode unless I absolutely had too.

>>718802819
It's highly flawed but I enjoyed it more than BotW and TotK.

>>718805381
I really don't get what people see in Fusion. Genuinely, the only explanation has to be it was their first Metroid game and they have a ton of GBA nostalgia.

Having played the Prime 4 demo:

Prime 1 > Prime 2 > Prime 4 (demo content only) > Prime 3

>>718813660
They're people who don't like exploration, or at least don't care for it.

>>718803420
That's unironically the hardest boss in the game. I have no idea why they placed it so early.

>>718811861
Fuck you the music was good and Peatrice is ugly-cute

>>718813660
Great visuals + music + progression + bosses
The lack of free roam until endgame isn't that big of a deal when most of the game is
>here's your objective, it's way off the visual map so it's just a general direction at most
>go explore the entire sector trying to get to it
The one and only sin it commits is that it often makes you go
>navigation room +cutscene
>elevator up to the main section of the station
>run to the next elevator
>elevator down
>navigation room +cutscene
There are many cases where it would have made more sense to just give you the objective in the first navigation room
