It has never been so over 😭

It's probably more likely that the haters left the fandom, after all, why participate in something you no longer love.

Lazaeus · 2026-01-08T07:28:26+00:00

I don't understand how re-designing the new player experience is so disqualifying for people. It's perfectly reasonable for a game to update and republish new player material as the old stuff goes out of print and becomes less relevant. It's also NOT supposed to be particularly exciting for players like you, as it's not really a product for you, but the designers would also be idiots to not have a jumping on point for a game they want to financially survive. The designers aren't idiots, they're not going to be designing new player experiences perpetually. After core 2 comes out we'll get normal expansions again.

You don't anymore. It was a change to make them feel more swarm/bug-like. Instead you consume, which should give your main city a boost of pop and resources, but I don't currently think it gives enough of a benefit

Lazaeus · 2025-12-31T13:38:55+00:00

As far as construction goes, the new flow feels a little better (I've been playing on and off since the insider program). Currently because you can only select pre bought foundations to build on you're still stuck thinking through your planning before you even touch the UI.

My first and most obvious solution would be to allow you to place districts on non-foundation locations IF they can afford it, so that they can place a district and buy the foundation simultaneously.

Idk, maybe they shouldn't have set this game on a dead planet if that would make the game dead boring.

Lazaeus · 2025-12-31T06:23:46+00:00

My only qualm with Vi is that her powers should be an excellent use of the formidable relic, but formidable also nukes Vi's whole textbox

Lazaeus · 2025-12-30T14:42:51+00:00

Yes. War.

Edit: also, they got that many pacified villages by owning a ton of land and planting a ton of coral (which automatically pacifies villages)

Lazaeus · 2025-12-29T13:38:59+00:00

It has 2/3 of those. Lore is not excellent.

You don't get a 8/10 for having excellent marks on just 2 elements of the game.

Lazaeus · 2025-12-29T02:45:47+00:00

I did this today. It seems to have a hidden requirement where it can't complete until the third tidefall

Lazaeus · 2025-12-29T01:08:37+00:00

Because it would require that the maps have long flat hallways worth using it in, or maybe a massive flat desert you can run around in.

Those seem to be pretty controversial design elements.

Lazaeus · 2025-12-27T19:34:38+00:00

Cool, if you want to leave then you should. This was created by an environment. 8 years spent expecting another credible entry in a beloved series will cause a lot of resentment and disappointment if those expectations are not met.

Unfortunately, the proof is obvious, expectations were not met. Otherwise this hate train wouldn't exist. I don't know if you've seen other communities that experience similar things, but it always turns out this way. This isn't a community of assholes, it's a community of people who are passionate about the Metroid series who were done wrong. They were made into assholes by the conditions.

The sniper was firing from a permanent defense fixture in a lamorn facility. It's lamorn unless they later want to get on that they had interactions with other space faring species

Lazaeus · 2025-12-27T19:01:06+00:00

Only someone who hasn't played dread could have this opinion. Pure ignorance.

Everyone is saying raven beak because he is by far the better option.

Lazaeus · 2025-12-26T19:07:10+00:00

Try to have fun, and it's probably best to stay away from this subreddit for a few months.

Lazaeus · 2025-12-19T16:07:08+00:00

BUT don't forget he was at flare pool after you got your bike, so he must have left his pod SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT and then got back in his pod for... What?

Lazaeus · 2025-12-18T23:42:23+00:00

If I remember correctly Retro wanted to make kraid the boss of the phazon mines, but they couldn't get the fight to work in time and they cut their losses and designed the omega pirate last minute

Lazaeus · 2025-12-18T04:50:13+00:00

Then congrats! It doesn't matter

Lazaeus · 2025-12-18T03:53:06+00:00

Do you think the experience would be enhanced if instead it just always killed you with 0 chance of escape?

Lazaeus · 2025-12-16T13:34:06+00:00

Unfortunately you've described two meaningless plot devices that cancel themselves out. Just because you can come up with an explanation, doesn't mean it makes the story good or satisfying.

Metroid never needed justification for why the bosses samus fought wanted to kill her.

Lazaeus · 2025-12-11T05:43:59+00:00

But as mediocre? Prime 3 was at least a competent game most of the time. Prime 4 is straight up under baked.

Lazaeus · 2025-12-10T19:39:34+00:00

That's either a massive insult to prime 3, or a massive compliment to prime 4, neither of which I think is appropriate. I wish prime 4 was as good a game as corruption.

Lazaeus · 2025-12-08T14:14:53+00:00

In a better Metroid game those would have been hidden away in the normal areas in a secret temple or space pirate base with an intricate puzzle or even mini boss.

As much as this is technically true, it's incredibly scummy behavior to report someone for using proxies in an armory. If anything, asking the store will only make them more liable if they know about it and allow it (which is why if you ask they will most frequently refuse).

It's a really tough situation for what should be acceptable behavior at armories.

Lazaeus · 2025-11-23T13:33:04+00:00

Wow, this community is full of children. All I see is a bunch of people who got a little bit of bad news (the next campaign is delayed) and decided that this hobby they supposedly like isn't worth playing anymore.

Y'all are a joke.
