Is it really that bad?
t.someone who doesn't care about Metroid as a series
It's pretty appalling
Yes.
>>385444845
No. The game isn't unplayable or anything and at least runs at 60fps. It's about 5-6/10

What's wrong with it?
Yes
t someone that used to care about metroid
It killed Metroid for 7 years. I think so.
It's playable and you might have some fun with it but it's really disappointing, from a technical standpoint is really good but it was castrated by design decisions such as controls, exploration and story, three points where Metroid always shined.

>t.
Fuck off back to your containment board
An ok game, a mediocre metroid, not bad but not what we all expected.

Story wise makes no sense and contradicts every single game in the series, even itself.
No exploration just linear corridors and save rooms every other room
3-4 times in the game it will go into first person and make you look for a pixel, you can be stuck here for many minutes even if you know what you are looking for
Have to point at the screen to fire missiles
You can just hold down a button to refill all your missiles and health so missile upgrades are useless
Not a single new item or move that wasnt already in other games
THE BABY THE BABY THE BABY X1000
A couple boss fights were ok
This is the kind of game that kill franchises
if you don't really give a shit about Metroid you can have some fun with it. it's mostly bland.
>>385444845
Yes, it's that bad.

Long, unskipable, boring af and with the most monotone voice acting cutscenes that break the already poor flow of the game. Unremarkable combat with a poorly thought out and annoying switch into first person gimmick. An amazingly poor OST consisting of mostly enviromental noises(which for a metroid game is a sin) accompanying poor uninteresting locations that are not fun to explore. And a really dumb plot thats a worse rehash of a plot in a previous metroid game to top it all off.
All in all one of the most boring and unengaging games I've played
>>385444845
Gameplay wise it's decent. They tried to mix up the Metroid formula and it kind of worked. With some more variation or refinement it could have been a lot more fun.
Unfortunately it's linear, has a terrible story and no exploration.

Its a polish meme
Not a /pol/ meme
Get your shit straight

That's enough for me to not buy it. I've finally reached a point where I do not care at all about a game's story unless I know it's good going into it. Cheers

If you don't care about the metroid series at all, the cutscenes, story, dialogue, and voice acting are The Room levels of bad. Which is why it's absolutely infuriating if you do like the series and care about Samus as a character.
>>385445989
I wouldnt say it's the Room levels of bad, because that would imply they're enjoyable in a "so bad its good". When I played the game they bored me out of my mind

>nobody talking about SJW/feminist shit
>SJW/feminist comes in and starts shit up
oh, the irony
>>385444845
gameplay is passable (as opposed to the great games that are the rest of the series), looks ok for an early PS2 game (yup, it looks and sounds way worse than the Prime games), and the story is full cringe, both writing and plot
>>385446583
Yeah, I should have specified that. It's the room levels of bad minus the entertainment value.
