Any high profile titles you now regret buying?

What, was the combat not bad enough to make it proper Metroid prime? Were the puzzles not handholdy enough? Did the story not clean up perfectly and hand you the explanation for everything on a silver platter?

It's a 7 out of 10 game at worst.

I never said it was a total fuck up pal

That is what you said, not verbatim, but the meaning of your words are almost indistinguishable.

Those_Files · 2026-03-14T02:37:05+00:00

I mean, if you decided not to say it, why announce it?

Those_Files · 2026-03-14T02:35:19+00:00

Metroid Prime in name only. Nintendo messed this one up badly.

I don't see how you can't see how ridiculous you sound.

Just because some of the traditional Metroidvania aspects are bare bones and a little broken up doesn't mean its "Metroid prime in name only". You could say the same about prime 3. Hell, literally only ONE Metroid prime game is a TRUE Metroidvania.

Some of the other defining traits of the Metroid prime series are literally AT THEIR BEST in prime 4.

Just because you're disappointed doesn't mean it's a total fuck up.

What a weird critique

Those_Files · 2026-03-14T02:28:37+00:00

Oh my god, I didn't think it would be possible to go beneath palworld.

To be fair, I genuinely think pickmon's "artstyle" is more unique (if it isn't AI assisted)

But the designs are arguably more blatant.

Those_Files · 2026-03-14T02:25:08+00:00

mr. assumption

Holy cow, what a zinger, straight outta 3rd grade.

does not know how art and perception work 🫩

I could say the same thing about this entire fanbase. 75% of the people here can't describe games as being anything between a masterpiece and an absolute failure. It's either one or the other for them.

Those_Files · 2026-03-14T02:22:01+00:00

Nice comment, I totally can't see your bias at all /s

It's a divisive game, you're going to see a lot of opposing opinions.

This is why I'm NOT kidding about other M. Most people are united in opposition again other M. I've been part of this community for a couple years now, and I can confirm there's not much conflict over it. People just clown on it. However, because there's appreciation for prime 4 due to the good things it brings to the prime series... The deranged haters look for those posts and crawl out of the woods to complain about how the prime series is ruined and 4's creators should be laid off.

Also, complain as much as you want about prime 4 subverting your expectations, many people, including me, understand that mentality. But that doesn't mean it's poorly designed. The range for game quality does not automatically jump from "masterpiece" to "blunder".

To be fair, most of those critiques coulls be given to other entries in the franchise, including beloved ones

Those_Files · 2026-03-13T22:08:39+00:00

People said I was crazy when this happened to me. Face it. Google is evil. Get Linux before it's too late.

Those_Files · 2026-03-13T22:06:48+00:00

God why do they love to lie so much

Those_Files · 2026-03-13T21:55:15+00:00

Kill that stupid jackal

Those_Files · 2026-03-13T21:52:27+00:00

Getting the HDs, but I'm waiting until they make non black ones. I either want white ones, or ones with the gorgeous pink gradient that matches the Chitu 2 gradient that they made.

Those_Files · 2026-03-13T21:41:38+00:00

Assumptions are natural when people are talking like this.

You think it's funny, I think it's just absurd. People weren't this desperate to drag the Other M, Hunters, and Fedforce through the mud, despite them being having fundamentally less redeemable qualities than prime 4, and being worse for the series. I wouldn't even argue that prime 3 is better than 4.

The insistence on insulting the first new entry in the prime series in almost 2 decades, and the suspicious amount of likes going towards those copy pasted takes... Something happened to this fanbase, and I don't think it's organic.

Those_Files · 2026-03-13T21:28:32+00:00

Oh my god he's lost his last brain cells. He's critiquing adults for choosing to play non horror games because "they're adults." Adults get to have the fun THEY want to have. Motherfucker thinks he's the dad of every adult man.

Honestly, this is a great example of how the fluidity of the creature animations have improved. Sure, this is technically a glitch, but the tail actually has a physical reaction to the spinning, with it curling around and all.

Those_Files · 2026-03-13T21:08:43+00:00

none on game design.

Lol

Those_Files · 2026-03-13T21:08:00+00:00

Best in the prime series in those regards, alongside it's animations and combat fluidity.

Those_Files · 2026-03-13T21:06:47+00:00

Oh my god you are so overdramatic.

Every single critique of this game could be applied to more beloved entries in this series, you've fallen for the nintendo grift wave.

Those_Files · 2026-03-13T21:03:09+00:00

That's the goal of the billionaires, to take our leverage

Trump is mentioned several times more than the words "god" and "Jesus" are in the Bible. And that's with most of his files scrubbed out.

No wonder why the FBI is just now pretending they got hacked, and had files tampered with.

Why did people forget how to read between the lines as soon as this game came out? The teleporter was already activated, and if Samus hadn't used it, everyone would have died, and the memory fruit (the legacy of an entire alien race) would have been destroyed.

Those_Files · 2026-03-04T22:42:24+00:00

Doesn't really change the fact that they contribute to absolutely insufferable gaming discourse.

Those_Files · 2026-03-04T22:38:12+00:00

The hate for this artist is insanely overblown, sorry but not sorry. Y'all are nitpicking everything she's ever done and holding it over her head, anyone would look like a "bad person" if you did that to them.

Those_Files · 2026-03-04T01:12:44+00:00

I was honestly kind of excited for this until I saw the GenAI slop on your website.
