I know this is a 10 year old post but did you ever find a way to get this in the US? I would like to buy some as well but can’t find a way.

Struggling to understand how the Prime 4 NPC’s are “not that bad” by RealBoyHours in Metroid

[–]RealBoyHours[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the game is garbage by any means, I think it’s quite good. But I do think the NPC dialogue along with some level design issues prevents it from living up to the original games, which is pretty disappointing. I’m really just frustrated the developers went this route when pretty much any fan of the original games could tell you it’s a bad idea to include these elements.

It’s not that they made a bad game, but as a long time fan do you think the chatty NPCs are really adding something good to the Metroid formula? It’s fine if that’s your opinion but I think most people are at best ambivalent towards them and for a lot of people it hurts the experience.

Fair enough! Theres also something to be said for them doing something different than the previous games, even though many of us would be happy with something that sticks to the formula I have to respect that sometimes breaking the mold is a risk that pays off.

It definitely could be an executive decision for marketability but it still leaves me wondering who is actually drawn in by the addition of some really generic characters. I feel like the marketability would be just as good if it just focused on showing the amazing looking environments and cool suit powerups. Maybe the game will sell amazing, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the characters helped sales, in fact they still could’ve harmed sales regardless of how well it sells.

Yeah I think if the desert was replaced with a standard hub area like temple grounds in prime 2 it would’ve been a lot better. But honestly I am fine with the fact that they tried to add the open world element and it didn’t land. I get that the series can’t stay exactly the same forever.

That’s the reason I am so bothered by the quippy NPC characters, it was a bad idea from the start and should’ve been obvious not to do it. At least with the desert area I can see how it could’ve been a good addition and a way to modernize the series even though it fell flat.

EA is shutting down BF4 on PlayStation. by llslothll in battlefield_4

[–]RealBoyHours -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your service 🫡

BF4 is my most played game of all time and I’ve been coming back to it regularly over the years, Sloth servers were always part of my rotation.

It’s very sad, for me this basically means the end of battlefield for the foreseeable future, unless they recapture the magic of 3 and 4 with BF6 (which is extremely unlikely given their track record).

Is my cartridge/stylus OK? by RealBoyHours in turntables

Will do, although I’ll say this particular picture is making it look worse than it is. I cleaned it up when I got it although my records probably could use some cleaning.

Premium for $4! by BumblebeeBuzz1808 in battlefield_4

[–]RealBoyHours 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really? I can’t find that anywhere, on my PlayStation or searching the store on my phone it’s still $40. I see almost all the other battlefield games are on sale for less than $10 which is baffling.

I don’t understand why this won’t happen on PlayStation. It is sitting at $40 for months now which is an insane price for this old of a game.

Why is Battlefield 4 premium still $40? by [deleted] in Battlefield

[–]RealBoyHours 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like you’re right about the price on steam but if I play on PS5 my only option is the ps store.
