@electrolite77 and I'm not saying it's a bad thing. Like - I play games to play them. If there is too much focus on a good story, it means they didn't focus on other things that I would probably prefer they focus on. Fromsoftware has the right blend. That being said - some games have pulled it off, but that's also usually because the gameplay mechanics were already hammered home - so they could focus their energy on the story. Like final fantasy tactics. They had a unicorn making the game and tactics ogre laid out the framework. if you need to pump out a product, you can't just rely on the fact that good stories are lying around. they have to be curated.
@Gaymer90 there are more ways to tell a story than just a movie. and yeah a couple of outliers exist in the entire history of video games but mostly - like 99% of games - even the ones people say have a good story - I'm sorry to tell you. The stories just aren't good most of the time. If they were good at writing, they wouldn't be making video games. They would be making movie scripts, tv shows or writing books.
@Stormcloudlive seeing it in motion is where can really notice the difference.
playing final fantasy viii on the playstation tv with the mcable upscaling it makes the cut scenes look intelligible
you can actually see all of the artifacts and the cuts are clear.
these things are ESSENTIAL for anyone who plays classic games. I have the mclassic and the mcable they are awesome 10/10 gamecube games at 1440p (with a wii and a wii to hdmi) ps2 games at 1440p (with a ps2 to hdmi) wii u and ps3 games look clearer blu ray movies look almost 4k. (I do not work for them)
@BIG3 the fact that the game isn't being delayed for a switch 2 release makes me think good things about the switch 2's ability to upgrade switch games.
when my best friend went into the army, he was on leave when I was still in highschool and he brought back "Legacy of Kain" I had never heard of it. late cycle PS1 was the golden era of games. I wish that game would get a proper sequel.
considering metroid prime is now one third of the trilogy which was sold for 50 bucks back in the day, I'd say metroid prime is priced correctly as are the others.
already own it on ps3 and ps4/5. got dragon's dogma 2. have no reason to buy this. but for five bucks? probably just gonna give them a "thank you" purchase
