like has anyone ever sincerely talked about the open world design of genshin or wuthering? has anyone actually put the combat to task? or are we just going to keep talking about the skinner box aspect of them

With all the hubbub about Metroid Prime 4 lately, I kinda want to draft up an essay regarding level design in Metroid games because I feel like there's a lot of mythologizing regarding Super Metroid and Metroid Prime 1 that make them an impossible thing to replicate.

never trust a xenoblade 2 fan who calls them homura and hikari

i do think everyone forgets what super metroid's map actually looks like

norfair is totally isolated from the map but you go to it multiple times with new stuff back and forth. prime 4 is a flatter translation of this with the baggage of 3d cinematic experiences

didn't think metroid actually had this many shooters damn

seeing so many people saying they turned Metroid into a Zelda game

Metroid has literally been platformer Zelda since the start

search action is a better term than metroidvania

well

prime 4 feels incredible at 120fps. genuinely insanely smooth game. motion controls are also fantastic. would work great for a sin and punishment star successor but not for a kid icarus uprising port

modern anime production fans getting mad that acclaimed directors are working on weekly shounen jump adaptation when dezaki worked mostly on adaptations until his death

My hottest take:

I do not think that fictional characters should have human rights. There is, in fact, no limit to what should be allowed to happen to them, on account of them being not real and imaginary.

You can tell Nintendo isn't that serious with Metroid in Japan when there isn't a Japanese dub for both Dread and Prime 4

ultimate way to be healthy is to just drink all the fiber

spinach, raspberries, blackberries, chia seeds soaking in water, carrots, 3 apples, and like 3 bottles of water in a vitamix

blend that shit and you will have the best sleeps and shits of your life

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond plays like a post-mortem of its own dev cycle. The story of a doomed race throwing one last Hail Mary to salvage its legacy after a series of failed experiments. Disjointed, full of abandoned ideas, but Retro finds a way through the debris. www.polygon.com/metroid-prim...
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is uneven, with bright spots
The disjointed Switch 2 adventure is revelatory and aggravating in the same breath.

pokemon moving to 3d environments killed the surprise aspect of pokemon as a collecting game. other rpgs having overworld monsters made sense since those are obstacles, but pokemon are potential allies, so being surprised was part of the experience

all i am saying is if they has samus in the zero suit exclusively for a game in 2008 then metroid would be a big seller in japan
