A 97 on metacritic. They made the Same Game 2 more times and the public didn’t buy it because the first sucked. This is a horrible fake FPS where you just wander around aimlessly. The GameCube literally batted a .000 imo. Horrible console. Terrible fans.

Don't forget that the Gamecube didn't even have the classic dual analog + proper triggers controller so it had Bad Controls in addition to everything else. The retards comprising the metacritic composite rated it as Something More than a FPS because it had backtracking and the view transitioned to third person if you rolled up into a ball. None of these things were enough to make it any more than a 4/10 at best.

People just really wanted Nintendo to not go under back then and they were having a bad streak. The game was like a gofundme for console war victims. But they knew deep down that it sucked which is why the sequels bombed

This is how games like Pikmin and Luigi's Mansion got hyped as major exclusives. Nintendo fans were like desperate pirates who had completely run out of cannonballs and started loading the cannons with forks and spoons...they had No Ammunition in the console war. Even games like Eternal Darkness that were sort of OK got all this unwarranted hype. It was touted as having like 20 playable characters and being some sort of revolutionary game when all the characters played identically so you were just playing the Same Level over and over again.

Ding!fag. It’s 180, and it came out with everyone expecting it to totally suck so it’s not about hype outrunning reality.

Metroid has literally always been a niche series with middling sales at best even when a game gets great reviews.

Prime sold 2,840,000k. Echos sold 1,100,000k. People had had their fucking fill imo. Hence, overrated.

I'm a Nintendo fan but I concur. I don't think I came close to finishing it and I finished a lot of really bad games.

I’m not even saying it’s a bad game. I could probably stand to beat it if I used a walkthrough every second or whatever. I’m sure the bosses are fun or whatever. It just didn’t deserve those scores at all.

Metroid games always involve a ton of backtracking, and the Prime games ALWAYS make it more of a grind. It never shoulda been made into a FPS

I watched some YT plays and it looks pretty impressive graphically. Good audio design too. I’m wary of FPS that aren’t straightforward corridor shooters though. Backtracking is fun when you zip across the screen in 2D, but hobbling around like Turok might not be quite the thing imo. Also if this fails Nintendo will never make a game that isn’t Mario-adjacent again imo.

It doesn’t seem like it has a ton of backtracking

Imho reading between the lines western games just suck shit and fail ignominiously unless they can innovate or tap into the zeitgeist somehow. Like just offer Player Choices or have Keanu reeves and sell 30,000,000k

Eastern games can have ingenious gameplay imo but western games can’t. It needs to transcend gameplay.
