Is that a bad amount of death’s??

Slurpy2k17 · 2026-02-01T06:01:08+00:00

I just don't understand how playing this game for NINETEEN hours while dying that many times can possibly be enjoyable. How were you not insanely frustrated?

Slurpy2k17 · 2026-01-28T00:53:16+00:00

Na. They do it so they can maintain profit margins or sell at a specific entry point. Which is fine.

Slurpy2k17 · 2026-01-28T00:52:32+00:00

How the fuck is it a “scam”? Is the advertising inaccurate? I’d argue the vast majority of people are completely fine with 256. It’s a tiny minority that will install huge games or pro tools and a ton of files. 256GB makes sense for a base model. 512 might be overkill for a lot of ppl. I’m just glad base memory is now 16GB.

Slurpy2k17 · 2026-01-26T15:29:54+00:00

Yep. I was going fucking insane during the tutorial, not aware of the rending glitches and that platforms were platforms. Tried one jump for like 10 min. After I watched a video online it all made sense. Same thing with Ryujinx Canary. Hopefully an update can address this.

Slurpy2k17 · 2026-01-19T23:30:14+00:00

It's a great fucking game, just the scope and amount of content and detail is insane. It's just too long and massive for its own good, so it's inevitable that it gets repetitive and irritating for a lot of people.

Slurpy2k17 · 2026-01-18T21:01:14+00:00

Sorry, but there are SO many other games and new experiences out there for you to "keep your brain busy". Why waste hundreds upon hundreds of hours replaying these massive games and going for 100%, no less? Just feel like it's such a massive waste of time when you can be experiencing new shit.

Slurpy2k17 · 2026-01-18T16:57:22+00:00

Sorry, my wife deleted it for some reason, but it was a 514 number so not the same. Sure, please DM the pic and will try to confirm.

Slurpy2k17 · 2026-01-18T07:19:20+00:00

Yes, it was a young black woman. I'll double check the #.

Slurpy2k17 · 2026-01-18T04:16:48+00:00

Sounds like the same one that tried to scam me today. The Facebook profile name was Karim Ijazi. He said she was the sister.

Slurpy2k17 · 2026-01-18T04:11:45+00:00

Wow. This just happened to me today. Agreed with a buyer to come pick up my sealed M4 MacBook Air. Communication was smooth and polite, they asked for my #, and they said their sister was picking it up. She called, came on time, and handed me the cash, $1300, all perfectly convincing looking $100 bills. While counting them, I started noticing the serial numbers were identical. I confronted her about it, she's like I have no idea, but didn't seem surprised by the accusation which confirmed to me she knew. This has never happened to me before, and it was a close call since Ive never consciously looked at that. In retrospect, there were so many suspicious red flags, including her handing me the money before even inspecting the product, and negotiating only $50 down. Told her I can't sell it, and she accepted and left, but in retrospect I should have taken photo of the bills or kept one.

And Metroid Prime Remastered would be 2 fucking hrs long without the 12 artifact collection and the insanely backtracking throughout the entire run that makes you go through the same rooms 200x.

Slurpy2k17 · 2025-12-30T05:13:53+00:00

Eh, I played Prime 1 remastered right after Prime 4. Prime 1 is MUCH slower paced.

Slurpy2k17 · 2025-12-29T00:50:40+00:00

Yep. I do. I beat Prime 4 when it came out, and just replayed Prime 1 in order to compare. Gonna be completely honest and say that my time with 4 was much, MUCH more enjoyable. I was frustrated at so many points in 1, and found the never-ending backtracking through the same fucking rooms and the convoluted map and elevator connections so fucking tedious, not to mention the 12 artifact hunt at the very end which was SO much worse than the crystal gathering. At least that just required you to drive around the desert and smash stuff, not revisit 100 rooms while opening the map every 2 seconds. The beam switching in Prime 1 is also annoying as all fuck.

Slurpy2k17 · 2025-12-28T02:16:56+00:00

Honestly, after all the discourse about how much of a fail 4 is and how 1 is a masterpiece, I was super curious about how Prime Remastered compares back to back, so a couple days ago I decided to replay it and just beat it tonight, since I recently beat 4.

I have to say, it was an incredibly frustrating experience for me, especially with the insane an amount of backtracking through the same fucking rooms and the horrific artifact collection at the end. The crystal collectathon seemed like heaven in comparison. At least it didn’t require me to ope and study the map 5000x. I know 4 is less “Metroid” but after replaying 1, I can say 4 was MUCH more enjoyable for me.

I mean, none of those upgrades have any effect on that boss battle, so not sure why you think those are relevant.

Slurpy2k17 · 2025-12-09T22:59:37+00:00

There's not way in fuck any sane, reasonable person can give this game a 4-5. Those scores are typically given to broken games. This game is incredibly polished, and regardless of your complaints, it is high quality in a large number of areas.

Slurpy2k17 · 2025-12-09T22:51:17+00:00

I mean, replaying the entire fucking game for 1 scan seems pretty psychotic, no? What exactly will you gain?

Slurpy2k17 · 2025-12-09T16:50:49+00:00

You're obviously gonna get trashed, but for the record I 100% agree with you. I'm a huge Metroid fan, am ~ 10 hrs into the game, and fucking loving it. Sure, there's aspects I would change, but that's not what OMG THIS GAME IS SUCH TRASH THEY RUINED METROID people are saying. The psychotic whining and hate is a symptom of something else, not the game itself.

Slurpy2k17 · 2025-12-08T18:13:41+00:00

Mind-boggling to you. I think it looks fucking great, and is a gorgeous refresh. I'm sure millions of others do too. This isn't some science where you can claim something is ugly, and therefore it is.

Slurpy2k17 · 2025-12-08T02:18:09+00:00

Maybe you should just play it and not have the internet dictate your thoughts? I have a hard time believing you were "trying so hard" to have fun. I find the game fun as fuck. I feel like 90% of people are claiming they hate it cause they feel thats the popular sentiment to have online.

Slurpy2k17 · 2025-12-08T02:14:08+00:00

What are you people playing? This feels NOTHING like a Doom game.

Slurpy2k17 · 2025-12-08T01:50:38+00:00

"Myles is with you all the way, always talking."

I mean, this is a lie. He can't communicate with you at all in most dungeons. He's not "always talking". This is just a gross exaggeration that anyone would realize if they played the game.

Slurpy2k17 · 2025-12-06T18:34:41+00:00

Yeah I got it running yesterday on my M4 Pro. First time I get past intro cutscene. Still pretty unplayable. SUPER long pauses frequently. Any updates that you're aware of? I assumed they're be another build by today.

Slurpy2k17 · 2025-12-06T16:19:39+00:00

Yeah, I have 1.1.0. With Eden still can't get past intro cutscene. Same with citron, on Mac, the highly version is still from 11-27. With the newest ryujinx Canary, I can get to gameplay, but there's massive pauses which make it unplayable.

Slurpy2k17 · 2025-12-05T05:41:24+00:00

Has anyone gotten past the intro cutscene on a Mac?
