I love Prime 4, personally, but its definitely nowhere near the accomplishment Prime 1 was. That's cool w me though. Its just so stunning in its art direction. Just love to exist in the game world.
Oh, I just figured BLOPS 7 was them finally making the campaign so bad it excuses them from making another. That's not just me dunking on CoD, I mean it. I figured they'd be there by about now.
@nervous-noodles there is not a single aspect of it that feels good. Stealth is awful, missions are awful, combat is awful, and they were bad at release. Arguably, the only thing that holds up are the graphics, and thats just cause I play a ton of old games.
I didnt enjoy RDR2 either. Its hard to get into a game that is so open when the missions offer no agency at all.
I don't think I will be getting a Switch 2. I've been priced out, and Nintendo has the kind of hubris right now that MS had running up to XBONE. I got this last game from them, and then I am building my Switch 1 physical collection. I have a ton of third party and indie physical on Switch, but am missing a few of the things I couldn't wait to play. Also Prime 4 is gorgeous on Switch 1.
Everyone complaining that Prime 4 was influenced by BotW seems to have forgotten the structure of Ocarina...while simultaneously begging for a new game in the OoT format. Its literally Hyrule Field, surrounded by forest, lightning, lava, and ice temples!
I am kind of shocked at some of the negative takes out there. I am playing on Switch 1. Runs like butter, sounds amazing, and feels great to play. Like Skillup's review has me questioning whether my tastes really align with his at all. Then again, I listen to Jeff Gerstmann and mostly disagree with his takes.
I rolled my eyes when I saw that there are lava, electric, forest, desert, and ice areas...but so it goes.
I'd also like to remind people that deserts are often large and empty.
Just a few hours now. Honestly, I was more interested in Blood: Refreshed Supply, but I only have $$$ for one...and Prime is out at 10pm (mst) tonight vs Blood at 10am tomorrow.
I have been a fan since the beginning. It got long in the tooth on PS1, but I've felt it mostly maintained integrity (Angel of Darkness notwithstanding. Though the fan patch AoD is alright). I like the modern trilogy a lot. I never enjoyed the Uncharted films, even 4...but I can get down with Tomb Raider.
I was never a fan of the MCU. It was really fun for a while to mess up the lore on purpose at get-togethers with newish people though. Like "Oh yeah, I just love Josh Wheaton..Buffy is the best! We are in good hands!" Or "Its honestly a little scary when Tony Stark Hulks out..." It embarrassed my gf at the time, but was totally worth it.
They should point the camera everywhere except for what the audience needs to see, if they are going for an accurate representation of the Galaxy games.

VB emulators often let you change to black and white. They should do that with this service.

The most overrated game I have ever had the misfortune of playing.

Re: Community: It's Time To Rate Your Switch 1 & 2 Games Of The Year
Blood: Refreshed Supply should be on here, I am honestly not so sure though. Most of this last year has been on PS5 and Retroid 5.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (6th December)
Blood: Refreshed Supply and Prime 4.

I love Verhoeven's earlier stuff as well.
Re: Round Up: Every Switch And Switch 2 Announcement From The PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted 2025
Dungeons of Dusk looks so rad. Playing tf out of Blood rn. Been waiting on that longer than Prime 4!
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th December (North America)
@Smackosynthesis hyped. Dusk is a very special game to me.

@Smackosynthesis it's so gooooood.
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th December (North America)
Metroid Prime 4 and Blood, for me! What a day! Dungeons of Dusk trailer was released as well! Looks super cool.

I'm happy it runs at 60.

Switch 1. Looks like they prioritized performance, so I am psyched.

Ill grab it on ps5 when on sale. I have gotten this game three times prior.
Re: Review: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (Switch 2) - Samus Returns In Prime Form
@AlonditeFE exactly that. I return the most to games that scored around 6.5-8.5 when they were released.
Re: Review: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (Switch 2) - Samus Returns In Prime Form
Personally can't wait to get lost in this game. I just hope the Switch 1 version runs well enough.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
I am very excited. I would rather a game has a spread of reviews line this than overwhelming praise.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Switch 2 Port Technical Rundown Detailed By Ubisoft
If they maybe dialed down the obscene foliage, they could aim for 40. It made the game so messy looking.
Re: Digital Foundry Dives Into Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition's "Big Downgrades" On Switch 2
I am enjoying it on Switch 1, handheld. I think it runs fine. I just want gyro aiming.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's NES And Game Boy Library With Four More Titles
It is so easy to just grab the roms for games you want on these platforms, and then they aren't tied to a subscription. I would rather do that.

Lol.
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Finally Gets The Trailer We've Been Waiting For
So forest, ice, fire, and lightning temples? Woof. I mean I am way in already because Metroid. But that is really boilerplate stuff.
Re: Preview: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Is Great, But I Want To Kill One Of Its Characters
