Used to take the bus to GAME and Gamestop like 20 years ago for PC games. Both have been closed for years and I've not had any interest in visiting them anyway. Digital games and online stores are much better and cheaper. CEX has replaced them in my area but I don't go there either. There's no value in these stores anymore.
This game is a roguelite not a roguelike. It has permanent powerups that carry through subsequent runs. It's amazing how many websites mess that up. They're very distinct differences. A roguelike is a one and done thing. You start from 0 every time. So it's not even a pedantic thing.
Pokemon and Animal Crossing have been so lazily produced for years and it's a combination of brand equity and having a stranglehold on their type of games on Nintendo. The other big exclusives thankfully don't suffer from lack of effort.
@Browny Crisis Core was not subpar or mediocre. People who think they are critics loooove to abuse the term mediocre (usually followed with the words "at best").

Re: Metroid Prime 4 & Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Sales Get Off To A Slow Start
@the_beaver a lot of FPS games are adventure games too. Doesnt mean it isn't an FPS game.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade?
@mackers84 30fps is literally not smooth and people telling you off aren't "trolls". People sure love using that word when their feelings are hurt.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade?
@hYdeks it isn't a remake it's a KH style sequel
Re: The Live-Action Zelda Movie Is Coming To Netflix
I wish it went straight to Netflix. Cinema is such an awful experience I just want everything to go straight to digital.

Re: Belkin's New Charging Case Pro For Switch 2 Looks Like A Huge Improvement
I already have a solid case plus a 24k and a 20k so i don't really see a need for this

@Faruko The PS5 version is perfect.
Re: Review: Pokémon Legends: Z-A: Mega Dimension (Switch 2) - Repetition Takes The Shine Off
I love the gameplay style of the Legends games but I really hope grinding research tasks doesn't become a staple for every one they do.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Update To Resolve Switch 2 Crashes And Stability Issues
Standard Ubisoft to release games with bugs and other issues. This doesn't surprise me at all.
Re: Metacritic Shares Updated List Of "Every Metroid Game, Ranked"
I've never played Metroid so I have no idea what is different about Prime. I assume it's the fps series?
Re: Mini Review: Red Dead Redemption: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - The Update That This Epic Deserved
It's funny how this is the opposite of what push square are saying about the ps5 version.
Re: Reminder: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Is Available With A Switch Game Voucher
Would be better it you put the price in euro instead of the dollar.
Re: Metroid Prime 4's Official Rating Summary Spotted On ESRB Website
You guys are excited for Doom Lite just because it's Metroid
Re: Ongoing MicroSD Shortages Could Have A Knock-On Effect For Switch 2 Storage Availability
Got a 256GB easily on amazon a couple of weeks ago. Saw plenty of properly priced Mario editions in a nearby store.
Genuinely dont get why people chase 1TB. You're not going to need all that on a Switch 2 unless you're excessively recording videos
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Finally Gets The Trailer We've Been Waiting For
Looks like a poor man's Doom without the fun gory bits.
