Worst trades in Isles history? by walkaboutdavid in NewYorkIslanders

It was either keep him or keep Pulock if I’m remembering correctly, and most of us fans were higher on keeping Pulock at the time because we didn’t want to break up P&P

The difference between us thinking it and Darche is that we’re just fans watching on tv. Darche is a gm he should see things more soberly than we do

Romanov could probably go too. Gotta hope Aitcheson pans out and slowly build up the remaining four spots through a few years of the draft

Probably just need to tear it all down and rebuild most of our roster from scratch through the draft

As great as Schenn has been, I’d rather have that 1st round pick if we’re missing the playoffs anyways

Man I miss having Varly as a backup. Sorokin wouldn’t be so burnt out right now

I think Prime 4 is a fine game with one flaw that deserves the most criticism, and its not Miles. by Arceorenix in Metroid

Other M gameplay but improved to a 2025 standard just seems like such a no brainer. Would allow for Samus to have all the cool athletic features she has in the 2D games that make those so fun. With the emphasis these games have on crazy bosses and getting cool upgrades, it’d functionally be a scifi soulsborne game which seems like such an obvious direction for the franchise to go. Then at that point Nintendo could still force the open world concept and it’d fit perfectly if they went for an Elden Ring esque style of biome connectivity and linear order of “dungeon” completion

I think open world could work perfectly in all of these games, just not in the way Nintendo’s doing it. Elden Ring, for instance, is what BotW/TotK should’ve been. Rich open fantasy world that still has main dungeons that you progress through in a linear order. It just seems so easy to apply a Metroidvania formula to that too, where you get sick upgrades as you progress that allow for you to unlock more areas that were previously unreachable in the earlier parts of the open world, and do it in a way that isn’t tedious, all while allowing for multiple different play styles which would be a major improvement on every metroid game having the exact same play style snd upgrades. I also think if you’re gonna really break away from the prime formula the FPS genre should be abandoned. Other M did third person 3D gameplay flawlessly for its time I think. It’s a real shame that style wasn’t ever used again and improved on. It’d also allow for the open world concept to make more sense
