Quote from tomatobob:

Oh wait Prime sucked and sold like shit

Are you kidding me? Did you even play Prime 1?

I wasn't big on Prime 2, as a matter of fact. Prime 3 gets a lot of crap for being objective-based, but if you think about it, the other 2 were the same way. You just had to wander around aimlessly and make it completely obvious that you didn't know where to go before the game would tell you your objective. That, as opposed to being told immediately. Yeah, it ruins the exploration aspect of the sidescroller Metroid games, but if you'll recall the Prime trilogy was made by a different company than the sidescrollers. And, as I sort-of implied a few sentences ago, if the objective basis of Prime 3 ruined it, then the same thing must have messed up the other Primes.

I am not a huge fan of 2.5D games like Dino crisis (which is what the other M looks like), so don't count on my money if thats how the other M turns out to be.

You would be correct in assuming that no one here has seen the E3 trailer. I'm glad you posted this because I'd have never know of this games existence with out you. You are a hero.

Quote from Lucied Unlimited:

A couple things to make clear:

1) Sales don't matter. He meant that since Super Metroid, the series hasn't broken 1.5-2.0 million in sales. Which it hasn't.
2) People have opinions. I don't see why this is hard to understand.

Yeah.

wrong sales can't be an opinion. Fusion, mp1 and mp3 sold more than Super. quality doesn't have anything to do with that.

I think half of the people who buy video games base the game on the tech used to make it and what it was played on. Back then people saw SNES as a arcade game to play at home. They couldn't have been more wrong.

Now, if you were sarcastic about that, were you sarcastic about Prime 1 being crap? You know, since it was one of the best games ever made and all. Right up there with Ocarina of Time and stuff.

Plus, it can slice bagels and can connect to Wi-Fi.

Oh wait, Wi-Fi is a common feature for games. Nevermind.

Ocarina of Time is not that good and should not be put in the same category as Metroid Prime.

I disagree. I hold them in similar regard in terms of awesomeness.

Aha, so you WERE being sarcastic!

But you have to admit, it should get some credit for being a long game, and for having a good number of sidequests and easter eggs and such. Plus, a successful transition of the series from top-down 2D to 3rd-person 3D. And the items and the monsters and the puzzles.
However, it is the game that made Link infamous for never speaking except for grunts and yells when fighting.

Man, this thread really lost track of its original topic and went wild, huh?

If I can give it credit for being loaded with dungeons that I can't stand to play through as well, sure.
