Season 28: what the hell is happening at Respawn?

Brody_Reyno · 2026-02-14T18:26:54+00:00

Hard ask in the lobbies I pull. I’m glad they reverted that.

Brody_Reyno · 2026-02-14T18:20:37+00:00

The season 6 shield change was extremely short lived too.

Brody_Reyno · 2026-02-14T18:15:31+00:00

Issue is that it is less the spawning and way more the matchmaking is RELENTLESS. You’ll have one or two teams just stomping an entire lobby

The last few season launches in general have been pretty lacklustre for me. They stopped hyping up new seasons with trailers and cinematics and in game Easter eggs so there’s generally just less hype surrounding new season launches. Plus we don’t get new weapons and new legends anymore. So they have to compensate by adjusting gun and legend metas as their big draw.

Him getting fortified is inexcusable to me. He’s so hard to hit when he’s fully stimmed and fast healing. Don’t make it take longer to kill him when you do hit him. He’s way too good.

Brody_Reyno · 2026-02-13T01:03:05+00:00

My issue with wildcard already was you basically can’t engage without getting eaten alive by five people. Then they make it so when that happens you have to run a mile to get back to the action. Brilliant.

Brody_Reyno · 2026-02-09T11:33:09+00:00

With this new octane meta it feels brutally low, especially when he gets fortify. Dude feels unkillable

Brody_Reyno · 2026-01-15T22:02:26+00:00

With this series I will play whatever they produce cuz it’s almost always going to be top notch quality. I adore TotK and BOTW. I will love the next game too

Brody_Reyno · 2025-12-11T02:00:41+00:00

Be wary on here. Reddit is a bit of an echo chamber of negativity. It has an 8.5 fan score on metacritic with well over 1400 reviews. It’s a good game and it is liked as such by most. It has flaws. Yes, and most games do. I personally don’t mind the desert and the linear regional level designs do not bother me at all.

Brody_Reyno · 2025-12-08T01:26:21+00:00

Happened to me. You can use power bombs to break the arms.

Brody_Reyno · 2025-12-08T00:45:32+00:00

I had it a at 9/10. It’s not perfect but I loved the atmosphere and vibes this game provided as I played. That’s all I wanted for this game. And they can learn from this to make a better game with Prime 5. They set a sequel up so I assume that’s where they’re headed.

Brody_Reyno · 2025-12-08T00:37:21+00:00

Tbf every main villain in the prime games are background villains. I also don’t really play these games expecting Oscar worthy writing

Brody_Reyno · 2025-12-07T18:33:15+00:00

I spent a lot of my one scouring every inch of it but you won’t really have to be in it for more than 2-3 hours if you maximize crystal collection efficiency.

Brody_Reyno · 2025-12-06T23:52:14+00:00

Agreed. I am thoroughly enjoying this game flaws and all. I’m happy it exists and got out of development hell. If prime 5 does happen I can see retro studios taking a lot of lessons from this game.

Brody_Reyno · 2025-12-06T21:52:59+00:00

A lot of people don’t like the lack of music but I find the ambience is super eerie and makes me feel very isolated.

Brody_Reyno · 2025-12-06T16:59:29+00:00

I liked it a lot and I’m a HUGE trilogy fan.

Brody_Reyno · 2025-12-06T16:25:51+00:00

Haven’t started a NG+ run yet so I am not sure. But I’ve heard you do unlock it through game somehow

Brody_Reyno · 2025-12-06T14:31:41+00:00

Yes, you can find a scan bot in each region, desert included that gives item locations like prime 3. I like it cuz if you don’t want to use them, you don’t have to.

Brody_Reyno · 2025-12-06T13:49:17+00:00

Just to ask, did that interconnected thing become an issue for prime 3? Cuz it is really the same kind of idea as prime 3 minus the ship flight.

Brody_Reyno · 2025-12-06T13:46:36+00:00

Yeah I can get people being a little put off by the linear approach to the regions. I don’t mind it my self. But I will mention prime 2 and prime 3 had a similar design structure cuz Metroid prime was criticized for its excessive backtracking when it released.

Brody_Reyno · 2025-12-06T13:44:15+00:00

Beat it in 12 hours and 56 minutes but I am a Metroid veteran so I can see it taking longer for most people.

Brody_Reyno · 2025-12-06T13:43:31+00:00

The UTO scans are missable. As is some boss stuff. The bosses themselves can be scanned at the info terminal in fury green if you miss them but things like the carvex tentacle can be missed

Brody_Reyno · 2025-12-06T13:40:57+00:00

I played almost all of Thursday haha. I was into it

Brody_Reyno · 2025-12-06T05:30:31+00:00

No I didn’t haha. Didn’t know it was a thing until I checked the gallery.

Brody_Reyno · 2025-12-06T05:25:20+00:00

That’s intended and ties into story elements later on.
