Date: December 10th, 2025 7:51 PM Author: Cruel-hearted scourge upon the earth do people really hate this game? it doesn't seem all that different or worse than the other ones. is it just the State of Gaming leaving a bad taste in one's mouth? have we reached the limit of our patience with Western devs? Discuss. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5808835&forum_id=2E#49500603) |

Date: December 10th, 2025 7:59 PM Author: marvelous abode I don't even know. I've always kind of thought the Prime games were a joke for the reasons I've mentioned 50 times.
the online/Loser fandom just want Metroid to be Cool and Badass. If Samus disemboweled space pirates and did fatalities on Chozos they'd love it. An M-rating would do wonders for the reception among youtubers. Again it's the Turok dev. Why not make a game in the tradition of Mortal Kombat and Turok? Why don't more games just try to appeal to Scumbags who like badass/violent shit? |

I don’t think anyone is looking for a gritty curb-stomping Samus so I don’t know what the problem is tbh. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5808835&forum_id=2E#49500737) |

Date: December 10th, 2025 8:29 PM Author: marvelous abode The problem imho is that Prime 1 was ridiculously overrated. Prime 2-3's reception bears this out. The hype does not square with reality at all.
Prime 1 review scores:
AllGame 4.5/5[69] Edge 9/10[70] Electronic Gaming Monthly 10/10, 10/10, 10/10[71] Game Informer 9.5/10[72] GameSpot 9.7/10[6] GameSpy 96/100[13] IGN 9.8/10[7] Famitsu btw iirc gave it a 33 which is more than fair. More than fair. They gave Prime 4 a 32. |
