@Nudhul @xianc78 we don't know that for sure, that's pure conjecture. Bamco could have been having any number of other problems with it. Clearly Nintendo has a good relationship with them, and I think they actually wanted retro to make the game but they just weren't able to at the time.

It could be that they wanted open world stuff and so they gave it to a different dev, but even then it's just a transitional space in the game for the most part. The levels are otherwise pretty much like any other metroid AFAIK. Plus like... Has retro actually done anything open world? You would think they would have gone with another pick if that's REALLY what they wanted. Who knows though?

@GD5426 @xianc78 there's the issue in there that people had with mp3 and other m as well which is that there is a bit too much dialogue. Samus herself doesn't talk AFAIK but you don't need that much dialogue in a metroid game regardless. Still that doesn't mean the game is like absolute trash and you should completely avoid it. That's ridiculous to say. From what I've seen, the story is relatively interesting too, I like the backdrop of a federation vs space pirates war with weapons of mass destruction.

@xianc78 in general, this year has seen people getting a lot more radical but also pretty irrational.

@xianc78 from everything I've heard the game is not that bad, people are extremely overreacting to it because it just isn't as good as mp1/2 and there are some particular niggles about it. There's nothing "woke" about the game despite one of the writers genuinely believing Samus is trans. There's one annoying ass character that doesn't even show up much and the "open world" is a glorified version of the shadow of the colossus one where you get a bike instead of a horse. Everything else seems really, really solid, a little antiquated perhaps. The game even looks and runs REALLY nice. I mean come on, we've got a modern FPS running on mobile hardware at 120fps and you can use the perfect symbiosis of mouse and joystick controls. That alone is awesome.

I really, really hate the trajectory gaming discourse is headed towards where if your game isn't fucking perfect in some 30+ year old dude's gay opinion it is the worst thing ever and you deserve to be taken out back for making it.

@gav I just realized my post sounds like the Christian girl from ghost stories

@rwsjw man joking over the internet sucks

@bajax based that game fucks

@PurpCat the only thing I've seen about blops7 is like a softcore render of one of the characters, she's hot I guess.

@gav Santa as we know him today is a Jewish coca cola concoction. It can be fun to have him around and stuff but we must always maintain that Christmas is about Jesus, spreading joy, and being with our loved ones. Christians like to talk about "the war on Christmas" as if it is a recent thing.

@ElDeadKennedy I know this is a trick you can do with twitch and some European country too.

Or you can just, you know, use brave lol. I don't even get ads in the free movies anymore.

@rwsjw isn't that the guy who removed his ribs to suck himself off

@meowski I've only had the flu shot once my entire life. Wanna guess what happened?

@ElDeadKennedy @mitchconner this is the kind of thing that is like, actually really fucking people up. You can essentially gaslight your chat gpt gf into telling you to kill yourself so you can be together.

@MuhSocialJustice this is the thing I've hated about the trans movement from the very beginning. People can't accept who they are and how they were made so they try to force the change. That's not going to fix shit, it'll just give you a different flavor. Dog crap instead of cat shit, congratulations. You need to fix your outlook, fix your mind, fix your perception of who you are. That's the only healthy way to go about it.

@mischievoustomato driving and I'm speeding and I'm

I'm watching my roommate play ocarina of time for the first time and he's playing it like how I played it when I was 8. Running around calling every single female character a "baddie," slashing everything including guards and gossip stones and wondering why they won't die, skipping dialogue as fast as possible, not reading any tutorials and then being confused at why something isn't working, dying to the same basic enemies over and over again. I'm glad he's having a fun time but all in all, it's absolute chaos. He's almost 20
