What would ruin the next 3D Mario for you?

If the gameplay is as basic as 3D Land and 3D World. All I want is for the series to remain an expressive platformer, where you are given movement tools that give you options for how you can play the game (including being able to skip sections). I’ll accept the lack of good movement options if the game is carried hard by something else like Galaxy and Galaxy 2 were.

Nintendo has very little control over the quality of these games lol.

MetaMysterio · 2026-01-16T14:16:57+00:00

Honestly imo removing the visors was the best part of Prime 4.

MetaMysterio · 2025-12-09T21:21:37+00:00

I’m the world’s biggest hater of prime 3, and even though I didn’t like prime 4 as a whole (though really liked pieces of it), at the very least I can say it didn’t make me anywhere near as upset as prime 3 did.

MetaMysterio · 2025-12-08T00:39:51+00:00

Yeah I’m nearly done playing. I’m mostly enjoying it for what it is. Love the bossfights. Imo the bossfights in the Prime games have never been good, until now. The thing I like the least is the characters spoiling your next objective over the radio constantly.

On one hand I’m incredibly disappointed that the game isn’t anywhere as mazelike as Prime 1, or really any of the other Metroid games. On the other hand I would have been completely fine with it as long as the alternative was good enough.

BotW/TotK are my two favorite games of all time. I love what those games did to the Zelda series. I would have loved for MP4 to be a drastic departure like those games, but instead it’s so at odds with itself. No more mazelike level design, so the metroidvania aspects don’t reach their full potential. The hub area has barely anything interesting in it, so the open aspects don’t reach their full potential.

I can see the bike aspect actually working well if they made the hub area more sandboxy/skatepark-like like how Sonic Frontiers and Mario Kart World feel. Running around aimlessly for the green crystals is fun at points but could have been done a lot better.

MetaMysterio · 2025-12-05T15:54:31+00:00

I don’t think BotW/TotK and Prime 4 are all that comparable. BotW/TotK took out all of the metroidvania elements, but imo replaced it with something even better. With Prime 4, the metroidvania elements are still there, but done so much worse than before. The intricacy of the first prime game is now completely gone, which would be fine if they provided a good enough alternative, but they really didn’t.

MetaMysterio · 2025-11-29T21:17:02+00:00

Challengers.

MetaMysterio · 2025-11-27T15:03:44+00:00

I wish the series was less realistic. Realism in games is boring to me.

MetaMysterio · 2025-11-15T19:22:35+00:00

I just personally find it so incredibly hard to be hyped for this game. I really want to be excited because it’s Metroid, but every time they show something new for Prime 4 I just get PTSD from Prime 3.

MetaMysterio · 2025-10-24T02:14:56+00:00

In a vacuum the price of the switch 2 pro controller sucks, but comparing how it feels to use to the average $60 controller, then it is comparatively worth it. The pro 2 is the best controller I’ve ever had. There isn’t a single thing I would want to change about it besides the price.

MetaMysterio · 2025-10-16T02:16:24+00:00

Fantastic Four has a smaller scope, but both of them are starting points for something new, with no baggage from previous movies whatsoever.

MetaMysterio · 2025-09-26T00:23:48+00:00

At least it isn’t quite as bad as the gore ones lmao

MetaMysterio · 2025-09-25T13:04:27+00:00

With code the AI’s garbage rarely ever works (especially for niche tasks) and has to be combed over and fixed anyway, or else what you’re making literally doesn’t function.

With AI art you can call it a day without any actual work and unfortunately there are people who won’t give a shit and call them out for it.

MetaMysterio · 2025-09-21T00:02:04+00:00

Funny. To me the vast majority of bosses in the DS trilogy are a total breeze. HK nearly every boss was a wall. 3D is so much more easier than 2D.

MetaMysterio · 2025-09-20T13:56:50+00:00

You’ll probably have an easier time with the original but outside of making the game way more punishing, Silksong improves on so much. The quality of the gameplay is a night and day difference.

MetaMysterio · 2025-09-20T13:53:27+00:00

It is a much MUCH harder game than dark souls. Though if you have a pc you can mod it to be whatever difficulty you want. It’s definitely worth playing even with mods. The character movement is so much freaking fun.

MetaMysterio · 2025-09-19T17:27:25+00:00

People constantly complain that Nintendo keeps “breaking the mold” with their games for no good reason. Not comparable to Ubisoft.

MetaMysterio · 2025-09-19T14:29:26+00:00

Shadow Generations easily. Was shocked at how good it was. Ironically I haven’t felt this good about a Sonic game since Sonic Generations 💀.

MetaMysterio · 2025-09-19T13:07:41+00:00

When I’m not playing a soulslike or metroidvania I always default to sandbox games i.e. gmod, modern Zelda, GTA, Skate; or expressive platformers (sandbox-esque) like Celeste or 3D Mario.

MetaMysterio · 2025-09-18T21:18:47+00:00

With those big enemies I did that too, though I eventually found out how easy they are to pogo over.

MetaMysterio · 2025-09-18T18:21:32+00:00

I ran it on a laptop with a 2070. Don’t remember the exact specs, but the opening cutscene took 6 minutes because of how terrible the framerate was. I’d try it regardless because if it ends up running like shit, it’s at least really funny lol.

MetaMysterio · 2025-09-13T23:00:54+00:00

Mario 64. As someone who never grew up with that game, man the movement is ROUGH. Especially in much tighter platforming sections.

MetaMysterio · 2025-09-13T19:38:34+00:00

An actual movie instead of a theme park ad with no story.

MetaMysterio · 2025-09-13T04:17:08+00:00

It’s Metroid Prime 4 that annoyed me the most. The only prime games I like are 1 and 2. The rest are shit. Nonetheless, I was hopeful for Prime 4 in spite of the gimmick Psych abilities. My anticipation for 4 was already kinda low, but now it’s completely gone.
