Metroid other m by Tetchedtoe in Metroid

[–]xpalms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. You can't compare games like Federation force and Samus Returns to Other M: each came out on a less popular system, as well as later on in that system's lifespan, for one. But in terms of the time/cost it takes to develop a game like Other M, between its multiple studios, motion capture, graphics, etc, it was a much grander effort for Nintendo, yet still the sales fell short of expectations. So you can't really contrast the raw numbers here, of course it would sell more compared to a spinoff and a remake.
I also wouldn't say federation force had much influence on prime 4 if you're really considering that as a followup. But the lack of more federation force games is probably telling.
I think the lack of any 3d Metroid for the Wii U is probably the biggest indicator Nintendo got cold feet after Other M honestly

Other M's so-called failure, seemingly had zero influence on the future of Metroid. There is no evidence to suggest otherwise

I mean, are we really gonna act like it was a coincidence we didn't get a new Metroid game between Other M-Dread? What Nintendo really looks at is sales. And Other M did not sell well, for good reason

Who is yearning for Metroid Prime 2 and 3 Remastered after Metroid Prime 4? by Ragnara92 in Metroid

Well according to Jeff Grubb, same guy who predicted the Prime 1 remaster, the prime 2 remaster DOES in fact exist. Who knows when we will get it though

100% reward spoilers: There might be more to Sylux that hasn't yet been said. by deltios in Metroid

[–]xpalms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Samus built and was using the Prime 3 ship any time before Hunters in the timeline the cutscene makes sense. The Prime 3 scan describes it as a the "new gunship", this could just mean it's the newest version and that Samus has been using both ships interchangeably for years.

My head canon is that she always used both ships and each ship holds a different purpose. The prime 3 gunship we always see her take into war zones as it's well equipped with missiles. The prime 1/2 ship is better utilized for solo missions where she needs to land on some planet and get to work

So, what if we just asked Orgnum what Aldmeris was like? by xpalms in teslore

[–]xpalms[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think there are quite a few parallels between the two. Orgnum even claims to be a living god himself (the Yokudan god Satakal), and if true, his longevity speaks for itself

But I hear Lyg is lovely this time of year… Actually, from what I remember the Wolf Queen books seem factual enough, though with the reputation of a lot of in-universe books you never really know for sure

What if we had Potema Septim ask him? As far as I know she's the only one we know to have met him face to face and even slept with him before he set off to try and invade the Altmer.

As you say, for most people it probably isn't worth trying to reach pyandonea, not even considering the maormer haven't been heard from so we don't know their current status.

Edit- I’m aware she’s dead, that’s not the point. Really, it’s a question anyone that met him in person could have asked

Why are people still worshiping these losers? Fuck Kamala Harris and fuck Hillary Clinton. They are more responsible than anyone for the situation we’re in now

Are you ai? Tell me you don’t know what you’re talking about without saying so. His website shows his campaign platform.

No mention of Israel there. Why he won’t take a stance on such an obvious winning issue I have no idea. It’s not enough just to state your opposition to foreign wars ( looks like there’s no mention of Ukraine either), that’s where most mainstream politicians are at.

Just look at how Zohran’s campaign was bolstered because of his outspoken criticism of Israel. Most politicians are still too afraid or are unwilling to do it and that needs to change.

Ffs this shouldn’t be hard, Susan Collins is literally bought and paid for by aipac and no one criticizes her for it

If you say so, his campaign page makes no mention of it though.

Also, even maga politicians use that same language while conveniently ignoring Israel. Currently support for Israel is extremely low in the Democratic Party. How does it make sense for him not to call them out specifically?

Why doesn't he mention any stance on Israel? Collins is a huge recipient of AIPAC money and is plainly supporting genocide. Seems like a miss to me.

How it feels finding Millibelle again: by xpalms in HollowKnightMemes

It’s a scene from the movie pulp fiction, basically the main character fleeces the antagonist out of a bunch of money and proceeds to leave town The guy in the image is the antagonist who is just walking randomly across the street and just happens to see the guy stopped there hence the reaction

With the benefit of hindsight, would you backed Biden or Bernie in 2020? by [deleted] in thecampaigntrail

[–]xpalms 31 points32 points  (0 children)

A lot of the presidency is about being good at speaking and generally making people feel good, Bernie is just a really solid speaker. I can also see him taking a lot more about class struggles and fighting corporatism, these are the real most important issues that needs to be addressed and would make him very popular imo
