Gaming So federation force weren't all that bad?

[SnakeOil992]

Played for about 30mins. The game looks damn fine to me. I don't think the story will be a strong point for it, but I dig the gameplay.

7.8/10 too much water

Exactly what I was about to say about IGN. This was probably the worst excuse to give a very good game a kind of mediocre rating they could ever come up with.

at this p0int its just butt hurt fanboys. if it was called federation force, it would get 8's easy.

It's okay but i'd wait for a sale. even on its own it's still pretty mediocre. So many games do what it does better. The controls feel a bit weird to me and customization is lacking. Co-op is more bearable than solo but the messages to communicate are tedious. If you want a challenge do it solo but if you want to get all the medals and high scores your best playing with a competent team.

how did you play? i was using an o3ds with circle pad pro so imo the controls were great. CO-OP is great with friends, not so much random people. I see what youre saying though.

I played a few minutes of it and first impression from the controls: I wish they added a traditional shooter setup using the stylus to aim like in Metroid Prime: Hunters. Using motion controls isn't always an option and since I was playing in bed I switched the the C-Stick method which left a bit to be desired.

I don't think people would have cared that much if Nintendo had released an actual Metroid Prime game as well.
How I see it most Metroid fans, me included, have been waiting for a main series game (or even a 2D episode/remake) for a while, and instead of that they bring us a cutesy, chibi spin-off.
No matter how enjoyable the game is, people are gonna be pissed.

the best way to play is probably an o3ds with a circle pad pro or at least thats how i play.

I second this. I've tried playing on a 3DS with motion controls and a N3DS XL with the C Stick and neither really feel fantastic in comparison. I feel like they could be enjoyable if you took time to get used to them, but they really don't leave a good first impression.

i liked other m and still play it every few months. will i like this?

I really enjoyed the demo!. I have the game now and it's okay. Gameplay is fun, but a little boring, maybe because i'm playing campain alone, with a few friends it should be a lot more fun I guess. Playing online now is still hard, barely any people paying and I have to play with the AI.

N3ds xl. i just stuck with the first config the c-stick just don't feel right. the game just feels empty and simple at times when compared to other games. its fun but not great

yeah, i could never play on a c-stick. makes sense. This game is great with a circle pad pro so best to try that out.

is the game actually hard? i feel like i remember them saying that the enemies hp/damage doesn't scale to the number of players

dude if youre looking for a new metroid game this isnt it. This is a prelude to metroid prime 4.

Yeah they pretty much alienated N3DS users that aren't casual players, I'm not going to downgrade for one game especially when they already perfected stylus controls in MPH but decided they would push the gimmick methods instead.

n3ds is ignored as it is. the mod community is its only greatness.
