Such go matters of taste, I think I take it less seriously as I was never all that big on Metroid as a series. I play the games without any more standards than I take any new game that comes out.LordNue said:I can't even call it good. Other M just...failed on all fronts. I mean I wrote a big spergy post up there on how even if it wasn't a metroid game, other M is still terrible and that's just scratching the surface.KarumaK said:Okay yeah it wasn't the BEST game out there, I wouldn't even call it great just good. I think Other M was a good game, good and no better. Yeah the exploration was bare, but the atmosphere was acceptable. Characterization is a YMMV so I'm not even gonna argue about that.LordNue said:SNIP*
Honestly action IN a metroid game could work. There was just no reason they had to strip out the exploration and atmosphere, characterize samus so terrible (she's basically just sakamoto's wet dream now, right down to being an impossibly proportioned anime girl) and then half ass the action gameplay. It's especially annoying since the made this a main game, a canon game that takes more precedence over the Prime games which were infinitely better and more metroidy despite being in an entirely different perspective.
Also I hated the prime games, HATED so that just shows you how much taste can factor in. I'll accept that they were not bad games, they just happened to be games I hated.
I too have trodden down the path of Alone in the Dark. I shoulda clued in to the shittiness when I was told it came with a free T-shirt. But I was young and naive and desperately wanted a new game. Luckily I have grown wiser. I never buy a game without first watching actual gameplay footage on youtube or something.Blindswordmaster said:We've all done it. We've all paid full price for a game that was complete shit. I paid full price for Fracture and Alone in the Dark. What about you?

Dear SEGA,
Please just stop, stop making sonic games and stop making RPGs.
(P.S. You can keep making Valkyria Chronicles though, those are awesome.)
We already are friends. We both are part of that minority that actually can point out obvious and stupid flaws.LordNue said:I like you and your opinions on games. Lets be friends. (I also couldn't stand Brawl, or pokemon phallus edition)Nazulu said:C&C Tiberium Wars. Worse than Generals and Red Alert 2. They made so many old mistakes in this game, it's just pathetic.
SSB Brawl. I was so hyped up for this shit just to find out it was shit game. No! It's not because I have high standards, it's because there are so many glaring flaws that I couldn't even get into it if my life depended on it.
Pokemon Pearl. Talk about rinse and repeat. I even prefer the original games to Pearl, it was so shallow.
