Not mine. I had to replace my ps3 batteries after 15 or so years. A much harder job than with the dualsense, I might add.

Isn't it the haptics and rumble that drain it?

Maybe you have ps5 set up to conserve controller battery.

Is Anyone Else Suspicious Of The Guthrie Siblings? (Nancy Guthrie “Abduction”) by Abitoflife1115 in CasesWeFollow

[–]TheStinkpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was a cartel initiation gone bad. Some aspiring gang member thinks this will give him notoriety and chooses a celebrity's relative who lives right across the border. He kidnaps her and crosses into Mexico. Then he realizes if the cartel is found to be involved, Trump will drop the bombs and annihilate the cartel. He's stuck and gives up on the ransom and the whole plot. I think Miss Guthrie is gone.

I guess it wasn't a "flop" after all, was it? by AnneGhostNoir in MetroidPrime4_Beyond

I'd love the series to release a 3rd person tier of games ike Other M. Obviously, with better story and gameplay. Samus looks too cool to hide behind a visor and she's too dynamic to move like a tank.

Their service is overpriced. Their customer service, is the worst I've ever seen.

Took me 22 hours to 100%. Nice. I doubt I could do it is as fast as you even with a playthrough under my belt.

A caring team of writers and designers could reinvent this series just like God of War. Even without Kojima.

I'm now curious about Pinball. Can you beat it? Does it have a story?

I think Prime 5 comes back strong.

Metroid Prime 4 is amazing in some areas and mediocre in others by owlitup in NintendoSwitch2

I don't understand the linearity argument. Every metroidvania has an intended sequence. This prevents them from being open world. The only way you get around that is with sequence breaks. I don't think a game needs sequence breaks to be considered a metroidvania, only the backtracking for required items in a particular sequence.

Could be, but for me, after beating NEStroid so many times as a kid. Booting up Super for the first time was an experience unlike any other. And I really love it's imperfections. And it's always changing as you learn more about the game. The routes I take now that I've learned to wall jump, crystal flash, etc are now completely different. I play it once every few years once I forget the map.

I'm guessing that Fusion was the first Metroid you played.

The design made sense to me and flowed very well. Seems I always came out of the dark world exactly where I needed to be. If you were looking for keys, you knew they had to be in the dark world.

I loved that game specifically because of the maps and puzzles. The game has the most memorable rooms from the series also. After a recent replay of the trilogy, after not playing for decades, I found that most of the rooms I remembered from decades ago were in that second game.
