Because those are the games that best capture the distinct elements that set Metroid apart including from all it's imitators. Now in the big scheme of things that formula has actually been dead since those games and Echoes. Every other game since has been more linear, more handholdy, and more focused on story or multiplayer upon occasion and honestly I don't think most Metroid fans actually care about it anyway since Dread, Fusion, and Zero Mission are actually more popular with the majority of people. I mean the original Metroid is retroactively considered shit now because of Zero Mission and everything it did to kill the identity of the game it was remaking, the community spends more time glazing attempts to "fix" Metroid 2 than the original, and even Super has been getting more and blowback in recent years to prop up other Metroidvanias.
Eh.. As you mention there are 999 puzzles and 150 mini-temples spread out in Zelda. Prime 4 sounds like it's similar but without that content. Comparatively Zelda looks like a smorgasbord of content, hardly empty at all.
Imagine calling two of the greatest games of this generation "Empty slop"
A 32 from Famitsu is basically a 5 out of 10 at best…
The day it releases, December 4th. Maybe i'll wait for the launch trailer.
When you score Other M a 35/40. Yes. You qualify as retarded.
Absolutely. However dumbing it down to just a "classic Zelda" is reductive and stupid of you.
96 Metacritic. 30 million copies sold. Absolutely adored by the industry and developers. Try again.
No one is saying this. Try harder.
No one is saying this. Keep trying.
No one is dismissing criticism. But there's people like you trying to make it seem like all the hyperbole in this thread from people who have no interest in playing a Metroid game as fair "criticism"
If you can't see the difference between a hub area and an actual open world then I don't know what to tell you.
Empty of real content I should say. Those puzzles were a copy paste fest. I'd rather have much smaller numbers but more unique content.
It is, in the purest sense of the word, slop. 95% of the content on the sky islands is "bring green orb X to position Y". AI could have done it much better. TOTK doesn't deserve the high score. BOTW is debatable because it was really innovative at the time but TOTK is an overpriced DLC, full stop. Hell, you even get BOTW DLC as a the main reward for exploring the depths, how freaking lazy is that?
ok
About the reply I expected. Good Job
I wholeheartedly disagree (at least in regards to the shrines). But even so, I'd rather have some content than no content. Relative to BotW/TotK the "open world" in Prime 4 truly looks empty.
I wouldn't be too worried. Metroid Prime Remastered runs beautifully on the same engine, and this game targets 60fps on the original Switch as well.
you really need to stop being a grifter man, Zelda has ton of content for you to do, content for a years or even more if you play it blind
Prime 5 will probably be another 18 years in the making
About the reply I expected. Good Job
Best to ignore the shills.
its 80 now on meta, same as kirby air riders
Dread had 124 reviews, Prime 4 is at 74, so we are 50 reviews short, whats the odds of this reviewing lower than Other M at 79 ?
As they should. Because these two are the best.
Eurogamer - 60
Eurogamer are known idiots these days who base reviews off political feelings.
so, game journalists
Filled with garbage more like. It's the same thing in the sky and underground too. Filled with content sure...just not a lot you actually want to do with collecting poop and reusing a tileset for every shrine and some of those just give you the currency for an upgrade just by walking in.you really need to stop being a grifter man, Zelda has ton of content for you to do, content for a years or even more if you play it blind
amazing world filled to the brim with content and lots of copy/pas... i mean awesome designed bosses on the overworld.
Damn, did you played the full game already ??
Thank you. I am trying to avoid any spoilers or anything at all about this so have skimmed through this thread, apologies if this has already been brought up. Appreciate this. Going back offline until I get the game now!
You can turn off all voice acting.
