Re: Talking Point: Metroid Prime 4 And The Burden Of Being 'Good Enough'

EriXz

I will probably get heat from this but I don't care, I just want to say 3 things:
I haven't play the game, not because it reviewed average or because the game is bad, I want to play the game when all the dust have settled, will approach it with a clean pallet. (16 years passed between 2d Metroids, I sure can wait a few more weeks)
People feel the need to talk about Metroid, seem to think what a Metroid game (in this case the prime series) should be like but they don't have context, based on sales, not many people played the original trilogy, the connecting hubs have always be there, in the past they were elevators, now there's a dessert where you can spend as much time as you want so I dont know whats the fuzz (again, I haven't play the game)

Lastñy, this franchise was never meant to be big, it's conception lies between the crossfire of Yokoi and Miyamoto and thw latter will simply not allow this games to outshine itd creations so why even bother.

I love Metroid games, its my favorite franchise but I will not fool myself, people need to come to terms with this and enjoy things while and when they can

Re: Nintendo's Investors Are Reportedly "Spooked" As Stock Slides

@BTB20 woaa, calm down mate, you are passionate about it, I get it, however I stand by what I said. Taste is subjective and last time I checked, everyone was entitled to have an opinion, you like Nintendo games, you think they are doing amazingly well, good for you, many other people seem to think otherwise (Investors and myself included)

Re: Nintendo's Investors Are Reportedly "Spooked" As Stock Slides

EriXz

Truth is, there is no games. They had the whole previus generation to map this console launch, yet there is not games (or actual information since we already know they have many games sheved, siting on the shelf) Nintendo got away with the one release per month strategy last gen, now people are expecting more

Re: Talking Point: Does It Bother You That Big Games Companies Are Using GenAI?

EriXz

Personally I would be against it if it means less jobs but I can't fool myself, it is the future and some people brought it to theirselves. I work in HR and the amount of people that skips work for no reason is almost obscene, no wonder many CEO's are looking to automate as many task as they can. I will hate that future for sure but as of right now, it looks like AI is here to stay.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Mega Man 6

EriXz

Ill have to go with North America for this one. Japan looks cool but its so busy, besides, this one nails the Megaman Look over I guess, any other cover or at least most than most of the others

Re: Round Up: Everything Announced At The Game Awards 2025 - All Switch 1 & 2 Reveals

EriXz

Event was cool and all, better that the stiff presentation of past years, this one seemed at least well rehearsed, also, not having that unfurriating world premier!! Every 5 minutes was a welcome change. Having said that, what still baffled me is: why show a game trailer that is still years ahead (for some dont even start formal development) will never understand that.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Metroid Prime 4: Beyond?

EriXz

For me, its a solid 8, Metroid really shines on its own genre (see the far superior game Matroid Dread, even thou that game was rushed too) anyone thinking this was gonna be superior to the OG prime was setting him/her self to disappointment. The game is on para with prime 2 and/or 3, another fine adventure from the best bad-ass bounty hunter of the whole galaxy.

Re: Site News: Nintendo Life Turns 20 Today!

EriXz

I used to get my video game news at other (now defunct sites) websites, at the times the NX (later became the Nintendo Switch) project console was looming on the horizon, thats how I came across Nintendo Life. Here's to many more years, HB NL!!

Re: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Updated To Version 1.1.4, Improves Gameplay On Switch 2

EriXz

Even thou I consider myself a Nintendo fan, even siding with them on some of their anti consumer practices (as referred by others) I simply cannot suport them on this, I wanted this game so bad since Mario Sunshine was my favorite 3d Mario game, so I kept waiting and waiting and waiting and finally, this game popped up on marketplace (at the right price, that is) so I got it, will do the same thing with the galaxy games.

Re: Poll: How Many New Games Do You Buy In A Year?

EriXz

I have slow down my purchasing habits since i haven't able to find an SD card express thst suit my needs, woth the degree of OCD that I have, I won't buy new games since I haven't been able to download all my backlog into my new console (I have a 2tb micro sd on my switch 1) sure, it wasn't full of games but a 256 won't cut it so I think Ill wait (Hades 2 will probable be an exception)

Re: "Lighting Is The Crucial Factor" - How Square Enix Made Final Fantasy VII Remake Look Great On Switch 2

EriXz

Yeah, I agree with you almost entirely (so far not first party must have games have been released for the S2) Mario Kart was not the system seller most of us thought it would be (for the record, I like to have my first party games fisical so I did buy the regular Switch 2 plus the Mario kart game separately) so yeah, lets give them some time. Will keep on my tradition to buy new hardware only if there is a game I could not wait to play (that isn't available on other platforms)

Re: "Lighting Is The Crucial Factor" - How Square Enix Made Final Fantasy VII Remake Look Great On Switch 2

EriXz

Don't know what it is but, I haven't play my S2 that much, Mario kart was ok, nothing ground breaking, did upgrade the 2 Zelda games and while they look better it is nothing life changing, I just wander around a few hours and that was it, been playing Kirby and the forgotten land with my son (we just finished the dlc) and that's it. Not saying I regret the purchase but still, feeling like a slow start.

Re: Nintendo Wins $2 Million Lawsuit Against 'MiG Switch' Distributor

EriXz

This could be confusing and frustrating if it wasn't funny, I just don't get it:

Entitled gamers hate game key carts because they "can't" own their games.

Same Entitled gamers say they want to have "options" like mig carts cuz, you know, "then I can have all my games in there" (then why don't you buy digital???)
And when you ask them to make up their mind they throw you the good old excuse of game preservation (even thou theres lots of people that preserve games professionally) hahahaha, first world problems I guess
