...Honestly, I'...Hey, thanks for your comment!<br /><br />...Honestly, I'd rather have them work on Link's Crossbow Training than Twilight Princess if it meant all of the wasted resources for Twilight Princess went elsewhere. (Since they obviously wouldn't go to Crossbow Training.)<br /><br />Wind Waker was definitely good enough to carry the Zelda name on the GameCube. :o<br /><br />Metroid fans should be happy that at least Metroid isn't dead, like many people thought it would be after Other M. Meanwhile, all F-Zero fans get is some crappy Nintendo Land minigame. At least Metroid's Nintendo Land representation was... really good!<br /><br />My whole issue here is that Metroid fans do not care about the long-term, and they just want something NOW to validate their sequel-begging. Well, the only thing you can get now is this spin-off, which obviously takes less resources than a classic Metroid game or a new Prime game. And fans can't even decide which of those they want, and some think they're going to get both at the same time like Fusion-Prime.<br /><br />Metroid fans lived through this before with the gap between Super Metroid and Metroid Prime/Fusion. Historically, all of those Metroid releases between Prime and Other M are outliers in terms of frequency. Metroid isn't supposed to get games that often, and Metroid fans became ridiculously spoiled and thought they had a lot more clout and relevance than they actually do.<br /><br />It's also ridiculous to stay sucking on Retro Studios like they're the only ones who should be in charge of the Metroid series from now on. That's stupid.Ludwig Von Koopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286894104423855927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-75456760322760984152015-07-14T22:13:15.256-04:002015-07-14T22:13:15.256-04:00I've said it before and I will say it again. ...I've said it before and I will say it again. The issue is not that Federation Force is a spinoff. The Metroid Prime series already had two spinoffs, Hunters and Pinball.<br /><br />The issue is that a spinoff needs a main series. It has been five years since there has been a Metroid game, eight since the last one that wasn't a massive basebreaker, and eleven since one of the classic series. As such, a coop team arena shooter from the creator of Hunters, without input from Retro, without Android Jones's masterful art direction, and using the venerated Metroid Prime name seems like a tailor made insult to players who want a classic Metroid game OR a new Prime game.<br /><br />I'm sure that it's a good game, in fact everyone who I've talked to who has played it has said it was. But this would be like if instead of Twilight Princess we got Link's Crossbow Training, without any handheld installments in between. And that is why the fans were incensed enough to write that petition.

Fans are stupid for setting arbitrary time limits for when the next game is due. Especially if those limits involve a "5" or "0". Maybe if Metroid brings in the sales, they could be made more often. As it stands, the current formula isn't selling, so why not try something different? And story-wise, Metroid Prime 4 is pointless. It's done already.<br />(Sequel to Metroid Fusion is still something to wait for and it'll probably happen within the next 5 years.)<br /><br />A lot of people are out-of-touch, but that's partly because the gaming media wants to stoke and perpetuate (and incite) outrage and they aren't reporting what people need to know.Ludwig Von Koopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286894104423855927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-88510126211781647442015-07-08T09:53:19.243-04:002015-07-08T09:53:19.243-04:00"I mean, it scares me, and you're trying ..."I mean, it scares me, and you're trying to survive on whatever alien planet you're on."<br /><br />I'd yell at you for using the literal definition of "survival horror," except that your comparison is a Metroid game. I haven't played Metroid Prime (yet), but the survival horror "recursive unlocking" mechanics do cause some overlap with the "Metroidvania" style.<br /><br />I both agree and disagree with your assessment of Federation Force (which I sincerely thought was called Federation FORGE based on the logo, and I've now edited my E3 article to use the correct title; judging by the Google results that come up, I'm not the only one). I agree because spin-offs are great! Trying new things with a franchise is great!<br /><br />I disagree because I think one of the reasons fans are so upset is because they've been begging for a new Metroid game, either 2D or 3D, and announcing a spin-off instead feels harsh. If they'd announced a regular Metroid game too, or if one just came out last year, I don't think most people would be upset over Federation Force.<br /><br />Your Sticker Star comparison is also apt, because I think most people don't realize Federation Force intends to expand the lore. Until I read this article and searched specifically on that topic, I saw Federation Force as a spin-off that sacrificed story and lore in favor of multiplayer action. Either I'm just out of touch, or it needs to be made clearer that it's still expanding the universe.Samantha Lienhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050896759185927270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-53611654354196266062015-07-08T07:03:50.308-04:002015-07-08T07:03:50.308-04:00Do I need to find other examples of bad things bes...Do I need to find other examples of bad things besides Sticker Star?Ludwig Von Koopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286894104423855927noreply@blogger.com
