It's a masterpiece. I love retrostudios

more people should play MP trilogy and other metroid games, did I say should??? I mean must!!! :)

Picnic4166d ago (Edited 4166d ago )

You should play it because it's basically a game like Banjo Kazooie (which is brilliant), only set in space and in first person where you're shooting (apart from morph ball sections). Both have got a lot of platforming and complex level design, a hub world, worlds that lead off it that you can only access at certain times in your progress, your character can attain improved abilities and you have boss battles. With the first game at least, you don't massively have to be a sci-fi fan at all to like it and I don't think that has been stated enough. There's a fair amount of detail , atmospheric music and scary situations. And the control system can make it appeal to anyone. It's a deep game but it almost has a nice arcade feel too sometimes when you're homed in and firing at a beetle's backside through your visor.

It's still one of the best looking games ever made imo aswell. I fired up the gamecube recently and I would rather spend my time in Tallon IV than the majority of Ps3 and 360 worlds..

It's the best trilogy ever made in Gaming. Makes Uncharted trilogy look like turd :) .

Makes everygame look like turd lol. Metroid Prime 4TW

How did we go from this masterpiece to the s**t we're playing today? What happened?

linkenski4166d ago

I loved how 1st person shooters back then were each different experiences, where as of today, all shooters are trying to copy one another.

I bought this game preplayed ealier this year, and even though i knew it was an old game it was such an amazing experience. I still have Echoes on my shelf, but i haven't played it yet.

In the holidays i'm gonna either play that or Dragon Age Origins.

Which one people?

If you were trying to decide between the 1st Metroid Prime and DAO, I'd say go with Prime in a heartbeat. The first one is still my favorite. Echoes is good, but my least fave of the 3. There's just nothing like the music when you 1st arrive in Phendrana Drifts on that 1st game. MASTERPIECE!!

Or the Crashed Frigate. It's like Red Dwarf - 'Everyone's dead Dave'. It's not particularly enjoyable to make platform leaps underwater but it's the most haunting part of the game for me.

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
