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

SuperWeird

The biggest problem with this game is it’s just kind of boring. I’m 25 hours in and I think I’m going to quit. It never really gets any better.

And I know everyone disagrees, but I think the music in this game sucks. If this was a movie soundtrack people would walk out of the theater. Generic and uninspired at best, irritating at worst. First Metroid game where the music was not up to snuff.

The music in Prime 4 is weak, uninspiring, and annoying at times, it’s the first Metroid game I’ve played where I felt compelled to turn it down. I usually turn the music up for this series because it’s so good, but not with this one. The gameplay is kind of boring too, almost feels like I’m doing work rather than enjoying a game.

I’m currently playing Prime 4 and Dread simultaneously, and I can say without a doubt that Dread is by far the superior Metroid experience.

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

SuperWeird

@Gaviin The music in Prime 1 is better than Prime 4, it’s more iconic, but it’s similar. Some of the music in 4 is good, but overall it just feels kind of underwhelming and generic. First time I’ve ever turned the music down in a Metroid game.

And the reason the soundtrack to Dread is so good is because it’s based heavily on Super Metroid remixes, which is arguably the best music and atmosphere of any Metroid game.

I wish the music was better. Some of it actually gets pretty annoying, with bad rock guitar rifts on repeat. I had to turn it off completely for the towers level. The music in Dread and many previous Metroid games is much better. I would prefer something more dark and electronic, instead of the weak cinematic movie score it currently has.

Re: Metroid Prime Was Once A Third-Person Shooter About Eugenics

SuperWeird

@Kainbrightside Eugenics as we know it was popularized by an American lawyer named Madison Grant in his 1916 book The Passing of the Great Race. It was this book that directly inspired Hitler and the Nazis to develop their own brand of white nationalism. It was very popular among Americans too, including progressives such as Margaret Sanger, who simply accepted scientific racism as fact.

Re: Nintendo Won't Say Whether Switch OLED Joy-Con Fixes Drift, So Don't Count On It

SuperWeird

The joycons are stupid anyways. They sacrifice the playability of the entire system for those rare opportunities where 2 people are actually going play with a single joycon set. Who actually does that? What sane person wouldn’t just buy a 2nd controller? I’m sure there’s a few kids out there who’s parents won’t buy them a 2nd controller and they’re forced to split the JoyCons, but that number has to be incredibly low and the rest of us suffer for it. Joycons suck.

Re: Talking Point: Do You Want To See More Apple Arcade Games On Switch?

SuperWeird

There’s already so much shovel wear on the eshop that I never bother browsing for games anyone. I’ll go there if I know a specific game is available, but never for browsing, it’s too much of a pain in the ass to bother with.

Apple Arcade just means for shovel wear. No thanks.

If Nintendo doesn’t give us folders soon I’m going to sell my Switch, that’s how I’m annoyed I am by.
