No one ever dares speak of it. Arlo has No Review. It just died on the vine.

i watched a guy play it on a YouTube livestream a few days after launch for like 30 mins. i was watching this on my iphone while on the toilet

it got to a segment where the coop npc kept talking and it was pretty eye glazing stuff. i pulled up the live chat and people were arguing over how bad it was or if the constant npc dialogue was “fine”. no one really raved over the gameplay it seemed pretty muted. with the occasional “wtf this npc won’t shut up this isn’t metroid isolation silent protagonist…” “stop being negative

It’s not really that baffling. They’re westerners with Japanese supervision. No one has ever tried telling an actual story that way before. Sony owns studios but they only supervise Engineering and let the studios have creative freedom.

You could have a 3D game that you just get lost in for hours and check YouTube or guides but Nintendo realizes that that’s shitty so they made it linear.

The other thing is that everything is getting Skewered now because of YouTube and Reddit and shit. Or if a game is good and western devs complain then they get skewered. The only way to sidestep the hate train is to offer a Reprieve from the Current Bad Thing and then AAA gets Skewered. If miles Mackenzie came out in 2007 on Xbox he’d be seen as a Reprieve from Sonys SHIT and also CRAPCOM

The entire Prime sub series is coasting on goodwill from Gamecubeshits hyping it up. How the fuck do you explain Prime 2 & 3 selling so poorly? People bought prime 1 and were like “wow this sucks.” The prime 1 remaster has like a 1-2% attach rate with switch consoles. Getting Lost in a game that sucks to get lost in just sucks, and it feels like either bad design or you failed an IQ test, both of which feel Bad. Like I feel bad for Nintendo feeling like they have to make these shitty games no one wants bc they need to appease Reviewers and 50,000k vocal fanboys. But they accidentally made it too shitty so they hate it. If they made it good, let’s face it, they’d hate it.

If I ever actually play a prime game it’ll probably be 4 btw because it’s linear. Idk getting Lost in 3D just sucks way more than 2D for some reason.

Prime is a complete joke

Metroid Dread, however, was Triumphant

Dread is awesome

One part that’s not The Same are the sections you run away from the killer robot. Metroid Fans are like “I hate it. It’s not the Same 😡 “
