So are you saying he spent half the review complaining that it's TOO much like Prime, then spends the other half complaining it's NOT like a Metroid game?

Yes that pretty much sums up this game

Nintendo's biggest mistake was giving the responsibility of making a new Metroid to Retro Studios whose latest game was Tropical Freeze from 2014.

They gave the responsibility to Retro after Bandai Namco blew it. Also Tropical Freeze is fucking amazing

And now Retro blew it.

Amiibos are mostly non-functional paperweights and that's fine. It's a toy. That completely meets people's expectations. Who's actually out there buying Amiibos for their in-game functionality.. I mean, really?

And why defend the practice of gating content behind Amiibos just because that's how they've worked for 8+ years? It was a bad practice then and it's a bad practice now. I don't think there's a lot of mental gymnastics required to understand the issue.

I'm not "defending" Anything. Just acknowledging the 'contract' We ALL took when welcoming Amiibos. Get Over it.

NOTHING has changed (except market prices).

Honestly, man? Yeah.

Half of the review is him complaining that the game plays like... Metroid Prime. What a waste of time it was.

The Skill Up review, like so many YouTubers, is just him circling the same points over and over again. It should be 10 min review but YouTube pays him by ad watched and minute watched so it's as long as possible. He might have some good points to make, but it's honestly massively disrespectful of your time to publish as he does.

I like his reviews but succinct they are not. You are right, it's not respectful of anyones time - but that's the business model I guess.

i just wanted to kill Thor with his own hammer and use it to kill Odin, but no, they turned GoW on yapping fest of feelings, they killed the franchise for me.

now hang on, they also yap endlessly about realms and prophecies, not just feelings

Btw folks. Nintendo locked background music for the desert in this game behind a 30 dollar amiibo.

What the fuck?? This has got to be a new low. Nintendo fleecing all their idiot fans. Well deserved I guess, this is what you get when you lap up anything they shit out and call it gold. This game is $70?
