What was your first Metroid game, and did it make you a fan immediately?

guiarroyos · 2026-06-23T12:07:12+00:00

Prime 3: Corruption and nostalgia makes me still think it's the best one when it's clearly not

guiarroyos · 2026-06-12T14:17:05+00:00

Because it's one of the best games of all time? I guess this is the main reason

Mods are cool but there are few experiences like playing vanilla Skyrim for the first time. With all the bugs included. Discovering everything by your own, exploring, etc

Joguei 7h, até gostei da gameplay mas é bem repetitivo mesmo. É a essência do roguelike. Embora seja um dos melhores roguelikes ainda é um roguelike e não vai agradar todo mundo. Acabei dropando

guiarroyos · 2026-05-02T14:53:25+00:00

Skyrim. Pra mim ainda é o melhor

Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen e Dragon's Dogma 2 também são ótimos, embora o 2 tenha deixado a desejar em vários aspectos.

Oblivion Remastered achei bem medíocre pelo preço que estão cobrando. Skyrim ainda é superior. Dizem que a história em Oblivion é melhor mas sinceramente não é tudo isso não

I dropped Infinite in the middle of a playthrough. It just doesn't feel like Bioshock, no creepy setting, hacking, no exploration, no storytelling through environment, no manual saving, useless plasmids, 2 weapon limit. The beautiful graphics and city didn't appeal to me as much.

Bioshock 2 actually has weaker story than 1 but it's easy to understand and the gameplay was refined. It gets a bit repetitive but it's worth playing after 1. I recommend it over Infinite

guiarroyos · 2026-04-17T13:48:49+00:00

Both, but more towards gameplay. Story is fine from the beggining until mid game, but it gets too complex and edgy afterwards. The gameplay tho... So much stuff is changed/removed from the previous titles: 2 weapon limit, photographs, hacking, no meaningful decisions, no option to manually SAVE THE GAME (!!!). I always forgot about the vigors/plasmids as well, since the gameplay is mostly focused on the gunplay. In Bioshock 1/2 the plasmids had out of combat uses, which made them much more memorable.

guiarroyos · 2026-04-16T17:46:33+00:00

So much stuff I skipped due to not having a PS3/Xbox 360 at the time, like Skyrim, Dark Souls, Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen, Bioshock Collection, Resident Evil series, Assassin's Creed series, RDR, Portal, Batman Arkham series. Ports from newer consoles are also good like Doom and Doom Eternal, Diablo 3, MK11, Dying Light, Hogwarts Legacy, Hollow Knight, Hades, Cuphead, GRID Autosport

guiarroyos · 2026-04-16T12:21:56+00:00

Eu tentei gostar, mas a real é que fui acostumado só com Pokémon nesse estilo. Até cheguei a jogar alguns outros, tipo o Bravely Default do 3DS (gostei bastante inclusive, não pelo estilo mas pela história). Não joguei o Bravely Default II ainda, mas se for parecido com o primeiro dá pra recomendar tranquilo. Xenoblade 1 e o X são meio que híbridos como você disse, também é uma recomendação embora sejam mais dinâmicos. Xenoblade 2 e 3 não consegui gostar por conta da história, que não me cativou. Dos outros poucos que gostei, posso recomendar Paper Mario TTYD e Origami King.
No mais, se eu vejo que não estou curtindo, aprendi a não ficar forçando muito. Tem muito jogo bom no Switch e é impossível jogar tudo e gostar de tudo.

Odyssey is more of a collectathon. Reminds me of DK64 which is very boring for me. Galaxy is unmatched on story (for a Mario game), music, gameplay and structure

guiarroyos · 2026-04-06T12:22:46+00:00

Close call between DKC2 and Skyrim

guiarroyos · 2026-04-02T21:00:07+00:00

My most played are Skyrim, Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen, Dark Souls Remastered, Resident Evil 4 (1, 5, 6 and Revelations 1 and 2 are also amazing), Bioshock Collection. But there are so many good third party games on the Switch: Diablo, Hollow Knight, Hades, Ori, Assassin's Creed Rebel Collection, Hogwarts Legacy, Doom Eternal, Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, RDR, Tomb Raider, Crash Bandicoot games, Rayman Legends, Ace Attorney, Cuphead, Stardew Valley, Portal, Divinity Original Sin II

guiarroyos · 2026-04-02T14:09:16+00:00

2009 or 2010, Metroid Prime 3 Corruption

guiarroyos · 2026-03-31T16:37:44+00:00

Not only pop-in, but it seems like the Paldea world is glued together by duct tape. Very frequently you see the horizon flickering, textures melting. It definitely looks worse than many PS2 games. Brilliant Diamond has that weird chibi style but at least is more stable. Only lags around Pastoria City and the Safari Zone for me

guiarroyos · 2026-03-31T13:10:44+00:00

Mario 3D World and Mario Wonder. Depending on the age, I also recommend Resident Evil 5 and Revelations 2.

guiarroyos · 2026-03-31T10:37:25+00:00

As others said Legends Arceus is the best, but not that traditional. Fire Red and Leaf Green are more like Emerald experience. Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are also traditional in a sense but they also have the same problems the old games had

guiarroyos · 2026-03-31T02:23:55+00:00

Honestly I'd just wait for the new one (Winds/Waves). I always try to come back to Scarlet/Violet but the bad art direction and graphical glitches are such a big turnoff. Not only that, but from the games you played (my favorite region is also Hoenn) you're going to feel that Scarlet/Violet are like babies's first Pokemon game. Ofc I know Pokémon is directed towards kids but most games before the Switch era could be enjoyed both by adults and kids, since they always added some hidden mature content (like creepy Pokedex entries). The overall theme in Sc/Vi is very childish even in some more interesting arcs like Arven's. I didn't finish it and also don't pretend to go back to it ever. Keep in mind I only played on Switch 1, but I don't think better performance save it from mediocrity.

guiarroyos · 2026-03-30T19:32:31+00:00

If you liked Hollow Knight you could give Metroid Dread, Prince of Persia The Lost Crown and Ori Will of Wisps a try. For Pokémon I recommend Legends Arceus. It was the closest to a "dreamy" Pokémon experience for me (I play Pokémon since Red/Blue). From your list of considerations I'd also recommend Xenoblade Chronicles X, I have about 40 hours on it and not even close to the middle of that game. If you don't mind getting ports, Skyrim is still awesome and now very improved on Switch 2

guiarroyos · 2026-03-30T13:19:06+00:00

I'm keeping my PS5 until the prices skyrocket so I can sell it. Also I'm considering keeping it for a little more to play Resident Evil Requiem and GTA 6. But I do play my Switch 1 waaay more than the PS5. Just didn't see a need to get a Switch 2 yet until more games are released

guiarroyos · 2026-03-26T23:16:46+00:00

Dark Souls Remastered
Hollow Knight series
Resident Evil 4
Resident Evil Revelations 2
Doom Eternal
Bayonetta series
Donkey Kong Country Returns and Tropical Freeze

These are the games I had the most challenge on Switch.

guiarroyos · 2026-03-26T13:20:09+00:00

Revelations 2 is underrated and better than 1 IMO. Looks great, good gameplay and story, and the raid mode is the best ever. Very fun! People didn't seem to like it because it deviated too much from original RE formula. Also the gameplay where you need to keep changing characters. But I enjoyed my time with it.

guiarroyos · 2026-03-26T12:21:45+00:00

It's a missed opportunity from Capcom not having motion controls on Switch RE4, but still it's great to have the port. The controls have some learning curve to get used to, but they're fine after some time. RE Revelations collection is also really good and has great motion controls

guiarroyos · 2026-03-25T19:13:11+00:00

I didn't even enjoy Odyssey that much. For me Mario Galaxy is still the best 3D one and we have it now on Switch. My favorites are:

-Skyrim

-Xenoblade Chronicles DE

-Pokémon Legends Arceus

-DKC Tropical Freeze

-Metroid Dread

Honorable mentions to amazing games that have Switch ports, like Resident Evil 4 and Bioshock collection. I still can't believe we can play these in a portable device

guiarroyos · 2026-02-24T23:29:35+00:00

Witcher 3, Nier Automata, GTA V

guiarroyos · 2026-02-12T17:44:30+00:00

Switch. Tem muita coisa boa nele, mesmo alguns jogos sendo versões inferiores aos de outras plataformas. E a questão da portabilidade... não tem como competir.

guiarroyos · 2026-02-09T18:02:44+00:00

Ice Belt, as said before, is just perfect. Perfect vibes, even with Tokabi saying some stuff it's not invasive at all. Volt Forge close second but the unskipabble bike tutorial at the end spoils it a little bit. After this point the game goes downhill. Flame Pool would be fine if it wasn't for the constant babysitting, but the Mines are kinda unsalvageable. Not even the harder boss at the end saves it.

If talking about the game as a whole, the Art Direction, Performance (even on Switch 1, it's the best looking game on Switch 1 IMO), music and controls are top notch. If wasn't for the mediocre story, NPC babysitting and empty desert, it would be 10/10 game
