It's sacrifice to bring us 2 new metroid games shall not be in vain

Metroid cycle?

>>380355923
Naw its too late to bring it back

>>380355923
No, it's mediocre even as a 4 player co op shooter

>>380355923
I bought it on release and thought it was decent

Not metroid at all, but it was kind of fun

>It's a casual coop shooter
>OMG NEW METROID GAME
>It's a casual coop shooter
>WOOO METROID
>It's a casual coop shooter
>THIS ISN'T METROID, IT'S JUST A CASUAL COOP SHOOTER FUCK YOU NINTENDO

>implying people didn't hate on sight the moment it was first revealed

Its bad regardless of being a Metroid game

>>380357158
But they're both gonna turn out to be shit.

It's barely better than Other M

I haven't played it but from what I saw it looked boring as fuck. Weak aesthetics, weak level design, bad bosses, simplistic gameplay. I'm someone who mostly enjoyed Triforce Heroes, Federation Force seemed like a much shittier and shootier version of that. Maybe I'm wrong and the game is actually a masterpiece, but I doubt it.

I imagine it will get a lot less hate now because there are actual Metroid games coming out now, but I don't expect it to become a cult classic or anything.

>people hated this game not for its contents, but for the implications its existence had on the state of Metroid
>the game was heavily critisized for being inappropiate during a time of hiatus for Metroid
>turns out this was just the beginning of a new wave of Metroid games

It's unfortunate to have this new Metroid era started with a Spin-Off, but can't we just accept Fed Force to be the Spin-Off, while Samus Returns is the handheld 2D game while Prime 4 is the console 3D game?
Just like back then, Hunters was the Spin-Off, Zero Mission the handheld 2D game while Prime Trilogy was the console 3D game?

>>380355923
personally I don't think /v/ likes video games in general.

>but can't we just accept Fed Force to be the Spin-Off,
Sure. But that doesnt make it a good game.

I played it all the way through. It was okay. I really liked the gyro precision controls.

>>380361217
But was the content actually good though? I have never actually seen anyone legitimately talk about the game on its own merits, I only people say variations of
>it wasn't that bad you guys
>it's just a spin-off
>I liked it
etc

sure it wasn't very good, and it wasn't really a true metroid game, but it's fun with friends :)

>>380355923
I'm more amazed Nintendo was even going to give this franchise another chance after the fanbase went full derp on itself.

>>380362064
>>it wasn't that bad you guys
That's pretty much the best thing that can be said about it. Its not a good game, and people only pretend to like it to poke at Metroidfags
