Pretty based to let people enjoy the discount.

I think the demo was pretty fun, wish it was longer so I could get a better impression of it. I'll probably revisit it again sometime this week.

I liked the 1.5D gameplay during combat and found it very interesting, though my issue is that the controls for hacking felt awkward.
But it does mostly feel good to play and didn't run like garbage unlike MH Wilds so it has my interest.

Should've been there at launch.

They'll stop porting it when people stop buying it as they said themselves.

Not sure if these recent ports are a result of the switch dev kits being distributed late or just laziness.

@swoose Why wouldn't they? Better performance enhances the experiences.

Probably going to sell out in 10 minutes then be resold for $10,000 by scalpers.

Damn Metroid Prime 4 being rated the lowest among it's series is pretty sad to see, especially after the long wait.

An 8/10 is still good though.

Eh not interested in it right now, but I could consider getting it down the line when I eventually get a Switch 2.

Though all those clips of that "backseat character" are making me raise an eyebrow.

Pretty embarrassing, looks like features that should've been there when the app launched.

Console sales are usually not that impressive and few and far between (especially for Nintendo)

Steam however it's trying to steal my wallet from how many good deals I'm seeing.

Ubisoft will probably find a way to screw this up.

Honestly it's really hard for me to ever considering doubling down on merch like this, even for my favorite series.
Most I have are a few figurines and small metal posters I hung in my room.

I can't justify the pricing on artbooks like this most of the time personally, probably because I'm extremely paranoid of ruining it myself barely even looking at it.

Huh this is my first time hearing of this game, and I did not expect this much praise for it looking at it from a glance.
Maybe I should try it out.

@Ganner Oh you're right, I'm sure the file size has a great personality.

I feel like everything gaming related has taken a price hike, micro SDS, games, consoles, the PC market is probably the worst it's been ever been probably with all the insane ram, graphics, etc. being at an all time high.

Haven't played it (Don't own a Switch 2), but it looks more fun than Mario Kart World at least.

Not the worst size but not the best either.

@Olliemar28
I couldn't agree more, this style of writing was good when it was in short bursts and didn't change the tone of the entire piece of media I was consuming.
It's why I'm torn on Guardians of the Galaxy - on one hand it's one of my favorite movies, but it also started the trend of the MCU shoving jokes down everyones throats.

I also really confused with why they thought adding this character was a good idea. I thought people were very vocal that they DIDN'T like having theirr hand held in the form of a character like Atreus from God of War.
This is probably the type of game where it makes the LEAST sense to add that kind of trope.

Barely watch streamers if I'm being honest.
It's more fun to just share the moment in person with friends, even in voice calls.

@ShadLink
I feel like the people that use DF as an argument should be more to blame the studio themselves, they've always analyzed games on a technical level and I respect them for that.
It is valuable information to have on how good a game runs or looks, as either can be a deal breaker for people.

@ShadLink True.

@ShadLink
I mean that's interesting I guess, but at the end of the day, it's all subjective.

I consider 5 average 6 decent 7 good, 8 great, 9 amazing and 10 a masterpiece.
1-4 being different levels of bad.

@ShadLink It doesn't.

You just wrote a whole bunch of nothing to just say you really like this game and it deserves a 9.51/10 because you said so.
Which is fine... because it's your opinion, but you're passing your own ruleset as objective which is the problem.

Someone rating the game a 7/10 is just as valid as you giving it your score. It's not a bad score it's just what they thought of the game.

It's almost like different opinions exist.

@Spider-Kev
The funniest thing I read was a thread of comments predicting all the types of jokes the guy might say.

I hope that "backseat" character isn't too relevant, thats probably the most jarring decision I seen for a series like Metroid.

@ShadLink

Ah yes differing opinions existing definitely proves your point.

$20 extra for a physical copy is insane, and with box art that ugly.

Not surprised sadly.

@Kiz3000 Understandable, it's a shame how the Switch is literally the only platform missing out. Hopefully it's ported soon

Also congrats on the newborn.

@Kiz3000 If you have any other platform I would recommended Digimon Time Stranger if you like turn based RPGs.

@PinballBuzzbro
Tell that to Split Fiction.

Aw I thought the package was a hoodie at first glance.
Honestly would've preferred that.

Isn't this game a remake?
I would harder call that a risk.

I don't know why people are still on about one negative review, what if that's genuinely what they thought of the game?
The reception from what I'm seeing is still very positive.
So it looks like that most people are probably going to like it.

I hate to admit it but he's kinda right, this is one of those things were people will have an outrage about but when the game releases things will go like nothing happened.

But he's only saying this because he's a supporter too.

@OmnitronVariant
True, it also makes you sound like a shill.
Also that's a good point about capcom, they lost my trust after they dropped the ball with MH Wilds PC port. I'll definitely need a demo too.

I wish demos weren't so rare these days.
Especially since games are more expensive now.

@Aerona

Don't worry you're not alone, I haven't gotten one either lol.

@TerribleTerabytes
True!
I would make a witty comeback relating to your name, but it's kind of hard to, much like kirby it's not that inspired.

I will be on my death bed and the dev will find a way to keep updating this game lol.

This is one of the most overdramatic responses to people just not liking a game lol.
Once again it's not that serious.

God this year is going by too fast I can't catch up, it still feels like October...

@SirLink
Yeah, I stopped taking the Game Awards seriously a long time ago, it's not a celebration of gaming it's Geoff and friends the show with ads. I think most people did after the Last of Us 2 won 7 awards in 2020, including GOTY.

Just look at the RPG category, I find it a bit jarring how Monster Hunter Wilds was the only JRPG on this list and the fact that two of those nominees were NOT received well by fans being Avowed and Outer Worlds 2.
No sight of Digimon Time Stranger, Dragon Quest 1&2 HD 2D, Trails in the Sky chapter 1, Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition and more. All of which reviewed much better than the two.

Now if you made the argument it makes sense a remake or dlc wouldn't be nominated I would agree... if Elden Ring's DLC wasn't nominated and two Fighting game collections were nominated also.... (Capcom Fighting Collection 2 & Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection).

Also Death Stranding 2 feels like a sneak in placement, especially since Hideo Kojima and Geoff are well known friends.

But hey it makes sense in the context of the Game Awards - Dragon Quest, Trails, etc. aren't as "big" as DK Bananza and don't generate as much "hype". So even if they are reviewed very positively I guess in Geoff's mind the average gamer is just going to go "huh?" when they're nominated.

Eh I'm sure it's selling much better in the US and Japan anyway.

I don't like kirby either but it's not that serious man lol.

@SirLink

I mean the Game Awards were always just a popularity contest with a heavy bias to western games, just look at all the nominees in the RPG category only having 1 JRPG.

There's no reason to be surprised.

Can't wait for the ad awards + games

The casting looks really good so far, but I would honestly prefer an animated movie.
